Runners

Delivery

I ordered a pair of runners online from this store, and when my package was delivered, I was excited to try them on. However, when I checked my property, the package was missing. I contacted SportingLife about this issue, hoping they would help me resolve it, but they simply took a "too bad" stance and I was left out $190 with no runners to show for it. I have never experienced a missing package before, and I was surprised by SportingLife's lack of customer service in this situation. Many companies would offer a refund or replacement in this scenario, especially with shipping insurance in place. I will definitely not be shopping with them again, and I regret my decision to order online from this store.

Ski equipment

Delivery

So, like, I bought these skis at the beginning of January when they were on sale. They were originally $700 but I managed to get them for $400, which was pretty sweet. But then, it all went downhill because my skis never got shipped out. I talked to customer service a bunch of times, and they told me that my skis had somehow gone missing during processing. Even though they had other skis in stock, they wouldn't send me a replacement and instead kept looking for the ones that were lost. It's pretty frustrating and unprofessional how they're not taking responsibility for their mistake. I asked them to cancel my order or give me a refund, but they wouldn't do either. It's just not cool. This whole situation has left me feeling pretty disappointed and I'd warn others about buying from this store in the future.

Two pairs of running shoes

Delivery

I don't know what's more annoying - getting just one pair of shoes or dealing with the lack of communication and follow-up from this company. I live in a condo building with lots of people, and my delivery never arrived at my door. I've tried multiple times to get a refund for the missing shoes, but haven't heard anything back or gotten any solutions. It's like throwing $200 down the drain for no reason.

Delayed Order

Delivery

I ordered my stuff back in December and it's been almost a month now with no sight of them. Customer service is a total joke - no real person to talk to, just those automated replies. Feels like they're just pocketing our money without sending out the goods.

Ski set purchase

Delivery

Eh, so I tried to buy a ski set online from this store, right? And guess what? They canceled my order TWO times! They said it was in stock when I bought it, but then they were like, "Oops, sorry, actually it's out of stock now." And when I checked their website, it still said they had it in stock! What a bunch of phonies. I could have gotten a better deal somewhere else, but nope, they had to go and mess everything up. Not cool, eh.
