Ok I should have read reviews before ordering. Ordered a pair of boots on Feb 15, still no updates and purolator has not even picked them up from the store in Sudbury On!!!! Not impressed at all. If you can buy from a store instead of from the online portal...you may or may not see your product even though I paid full price on Sat when on sale online everywhere else!!!! Sportchek needs to improve their shipping and customer service big time.

Thanks …

We had a great experience at the Park Royal branch when exchanging our shoes. A big thank you to Shiva at the front desk for her excellent customer service—she is amazing! We also appreciate Demetry, the manager. Thank you both!

Wrong size and very poor online return process

Ordered a clothing product online. They sent me the wrong size. The SKU is (a week after order) no longer listed; and there are no comparable products. I'm stuck with a thing that I didn't order and have to now drive to a physical location to return. I don't have a car. Rotten service. Won't order from them again.

Used running shoes!!

I was sent a used pair of running shoes, with gravel still wedged in the soles. I called and eventually they refunded without me having to go to store, so they made it right. But that was only after my complaining. Whats the point of online shopping when they send crap and want you to go to store for return. But I will not buy from them again. It was awful . What moron thinks sending used shoes is a good idea. Sending store in Brampton ontario.

Wrong size TWICE and still no shoes!

I ordered shoes for my daughter for Christmas I received the wrong size so I contacted sport chek, they told me I would have to go to a courier and mail them back and wait for a return, if I still wanted these shoes I would have to go on and purchase a second pair. I received the second pair and AGAIN the wrong size! Now they are saying I have to go back and mail these ones back as well and purchasd a THIRD pair if I still want these shoes and wait for them to receive the other two pairs back before they will issue me a return. These are a Christmas present and on my daughter's list so I wanted to get them for her this is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you check your receipt

Make sure you check your receipt before you leave the store. I clearly said no when I was asked by the cashier about a donation but they took it anyways. (BTW I have no issues with making donation - I have issues with large companies making a donation on my behalf and then claiming the tax benefit at the expense of their customers.) When I was given my money back in the form of a gift card, they stole it again when the online site crashed and my order was never processed. Customer service was no help even though the issue was "escalated".

"SportChek at Richmond Centre needs to step up their customer service. I visited recently to look for running shoes and found most of the staff were too busy chatting or on their phones to help customers. At one point, they even walked away while I was talking to them. It felt like they didn't want any customers! Disappointing experience, to say the least."

This review is in regards to the service I received from Cagla over at the sport chek in Metrotown in Vancouver BC. I especially like to write reviews when I receive excellent customer service. Cagla answered all my questions, was very polite and accommodating and had a smile on the whole time. So I really appreciated that. Thanks again

Terrible Customer Service and Broken Policies at SportCheck

The customer service at SportCheck is the worst. I tried to purchase a pair of shoes from them, but when it went out for delivery, it got returned because they didn't know which unit to drop it off at. They could have easily contacted me, but they didn't. I tried ordering again, and this time the order was cancelled, and when I called them, they said it was their error and that I'd have to go buy it in-store only.

Additionally, I had a promotion code that I got earlier due to a similar issue, but when I tried using it in the store, they said it was only for online purchases. Why would they give me a promo code for online shopping when they knew I couldn't order online? I tried calling them back, but the customer service was terrible, and they were not understanding at all.

Now, I can't go buy the item in the store with the promo code, and I can't place any order online. It's a frustrating experience, and I wouldn't recommend SportCheck to anyone.

I gave SportChek a 1-star rating…

I gave SportChek a 1-star rating because of their reliance on Purolator for delivering their online items.
I paid for delivery. I incurred the charges.
And, twice now, for two separate items, Purolator stated they attempted to contact me for delivery and both times I was unavailable.
Not true.
On both occasions I was available. This recent time, I stayed home because the item required a signature. Had Purolator bothered to buzz I could have easily let them into the building as the buzzer comes directly to my phone.
When speaking with Purolator's customer service, we arranged for the item to be dropped off at a location within walking distance from my home.
This morning I received notification from Purolator that my package is available at a DIFFERENT location than agreed upon. A location which is out of my way and one I must drive to.
Did I mention that I PAID for home delivery???
Definitely not impressed.
Going forward it will definitely impact any decision to purchase from SportChek as long as they have an alliance with Purolator.

Delivery is not working.

Delivery is not working.

Sportcheck have sent me package with Purolator. Purolator is lying that they attempted delivery and requests me to pickup the package. Katy at sportcheck said they can do nothing about it.

Trying to use the website

Trying to use the website, it's completely useless. I can look at shoes, but there's no option to select sizes and order. Called the store, was asked to give the information the site was not showing me (???), click- moving on.
