“Best customer service (JJ?)”

Tiffany N.

My daughter had been looking for a clothing item for sometime and JJ or JayJay (not sure on spelling) in the Lehi/AF location went above and beyond for us! Thank you! We will definitely be back to shop here again.

“Horrible store and service”

Eric F.
10/5/22

$#*!'s Sporting Goods is a piece of $#*! store. I ordered a boat, it took over a month to never receive it. I was sent four of them and every single one that I received had forklift punctures in it and was unfloatable. So they were put back on to the truck. They don't care that wasted a total of five boats. Wasted shipping charges. Will NEVER deal with $#*!s stores ever again

Took over 3 months to receive 1 club. The order was supposed to be a 7-10 day event. Nobody knew anything they had my money they didn't care.when the club finally arrived after I had found a replacement they would not even consider taking it back or offer a credit. Very disappointing poor customer service. Said they would figure out a solution but never heard back from Dicks

Political monster pretending to be a sporting goods supplier. Not at all inclusive to sports as they frown on certain activities and banned sales. Bad bad bad. Shame on Dicks for being closed minded and not accepting of societal needs. One star only because I had to - deserving of zero stars.

Do Not take your golf clubs to trade. On their website, they give you a value, asking ONLY "used or damaged". I took mine in, intending to trade for credit towards new clubs, BUT their value is a lot less, and they acknowledged the difference, but reply was "it is what it is." This is "car salesman" ploy to get you in store, then get slammed, and their indifference is even more annoying. Calling on all golfers to boycott this tactic, and deal elsewhere.

I have always had a great experience in the Plainville location. But, I came across this Manager Emily whom I needed help from and she was so very rude! She rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth when I asked for her help! No customer should have to feel like a bother when asking for help. I won't be going back there and wouldn't recommend it either! I am so dissapointed!

I won't go into the store anymore because the teenagers (or 20-somethings that act worse than teens?) that run it are so unhelpful, unknowledgeable, irresponsible, and rude that I just get irritated. With the prices they charge, you'd think they could afford competent staff, but shareholders (people who get paid by a company for doing nothing) are more important than employee and customer satisfaction.

Be very careful at the warehouse in VA Beach, they moved us to a different register as the first was not working, but ended up charging us twice and after 3 months of back and forth, refuse to acknowledge the error.

Horrible experience, they sell malfunction e-bike and refused to give refund and they still haven't fix it

We bought an e-bike a-week ago on Friday, a Minooka for $1499 + $99 warranty. The safety check passed (open box, floor sample) but unable to turn in the power (electric), they said "Just charge it when you get home, the battery need to be charged 1st"
We charged the battery as instructed, the next day still NO POWER - never worked. We return it to the store in Southland, Aurora, where we purchased it, they tried to fix it - they said they'll call us when it's ready. One week later, still in the back room not fixed. I asked for a refund since it's broken (NO POWER) to begin with, the clerk (Erin) refused to give me refund and for us to just sit tight and wait until they fix it - "Not sure for how long…" she said "I have nothing else to say to you Mam, now I'm gonna move to next costumer"

Tip for consumers:
Safe your money and purchase somewhere else

I ordered a ping pong table a month ago. A purchase the cost well over $1000. I paid for delivery and set up. The only logistics company they have is AIG. It has been nothing but a nigh mare. 3 days waiting for AIG to arrive. I had to deal with their dispatcher, unprofessional customer services, texts telling me they are coming and it route for 8 hours then by 6:00 pm the no they are not coming text arrives... 3 different days! Tons of phone calls, text messages and a whole lot of wasted time. And, no I never received my ping pong table. They had my money over a month for nothing. Dicks shame on you for using such a terrible services as AIG. I have one very disappointed child. Shame on you Dicks.

They called the cops on me for trying on a pair of shoes an walking in them in the store. Never tried to leave the store and was in the process of shopping for other items I also had my 2 young daughters with me when this was all happening. I was arrested my mother had to pick up the kids and I was taken to jail for trying on a pair of shoes. I took it to court and in the video of the cops and the loss prevention guy they asked him what he wanted from this an he said a apprehension for him self. I still can't believe this happened and will never shop at dicks again. Who doesn't try on shoes when they are looking to buy some $#*!ing redicious!

I quit going to Dicks when they stopped selling hunting equipment and apparel and I bought a LOT of it there. Decided I would go back to find a couple Dolphins football jerseys. They had nothing. Every time I've gone there they have nothing that I'm looking for. I'm astounded they are still in business and the store is always empty of customers. They are overpriced and stand behind nothing. That was my last trip there. Just another store that will fall to Amazon.

Dropped bike wheel off and told it would be 10 days. Heard nothing. Called twice and no returned call.
Went in store six days later (total of 16 day) and found wheel against wall with nothing done. Complained to Levi (apology) and Pete the manager (another apology). Pete offered "expedited" service but admitted the repair might take another two weeks. So much for expedition. I was offered shallow apologies with no suggested action. Truly disappointed in customer service. Took wheel to an independent shop for repair.

I placed an order over the weekend and the estimated delivery was set for Wednesday. Wednesday comes around and the item still hasn't been shipped. At this point, I wanted to cancel the order because it wasnt going to get here in time. I was told you can only cancel orders 30 minutes after an order is made. Customer service did nothing to expedite my order or figure out what the hold up was. Don't order products online if you have a deadline.

It's as simple as this. I purchase a sweater from Dicks and it was In the men's section for a gift. It was a female's sweater medium. I contacted customer service and there is no working with them. From suggesting I would pay the shipping to.nothing short of I need to drive back to the store to return of exchange it. The simple point is, if your Canadian, don't purchase in the good old USA. There is no return, exchange or refund.

Don't buy in the United States if your Canadian.

Bought a crossbow from dicks sporting goods shot it 5 times and limbs started to split took it back to dicks and they wouldn't do anything about it. The bow was only 2 weeks old. So much for customer care won't spend another dime at this store. It's ridiculous. My proof of purchase is on my dicks card

DO NOT EVER use their delivery and setup service. It's terrible! Dick's contract's with AIT Logistics Worldwide and while they may be great at delivery in the rest if the world, they suck at it in Arkansas. They have changed the delivery date four times, changing excuses everytime. First time - his helper was sick, second time - he wrecked his truck, third time - it was rainy, fourth time - he misread the calendar! What an idiot!

Tip for consumers:
Do NOT EVER use their Delivery and ASSEMBLY - IT SUCKS!

After the first trip to buy a fishing pole it all went down hill. The tip eyelet of the pole was broken two weeks later she can't find the pole and may not be able to give me a complete refund. Then she ordered one for me. They send their poles in single layer cardboard. The box comes bent in half, the pole is broken into three pieces and Even the Rod was broken in three pieces! I bring that back to get another combo set. All was well for about two weeks, and then the reel flip lever breaks. Now for whatever reason I exchanged that one too. I just pulled the new combo out... to find that the reel is missing a very important knob. I am done. I would advise you do not purchase fishing gear from Dicks.

I tried to return an item without a receipt but with my card statement but the system couldn't locate it. The two clerks who helped me were very useless. Ruben was very professional and helpful. With his info to call customer service to locate my receipt I'm finally able to get a refund

My partner and I have been waiting on a kayak since middle of May and the pilot company who works with Dick's Sporting goods and handles freight shipping said our kayak should be here over a week ago and when we called to check they said once it gets to this location another shipping company will call us and we have yet to receive any calls even though it's been at the location since our expected delivery date. Over a week ago. But we called dicks and they are returning the 250 shipping fee and going to call to figure out where our kayak is. Very grateful they are doing something about the issue

Tip for consumers:
Do a curbside pick up over freight shipping!

I went to the Dicks at Fayetteville mall in Lexington ky trying to find my son a new tee-ball bat, I had a few I wanted to try and a sales person named Tucker. He took my son and I into the indoor cage they have and told us we had 4 swings with each bat, well he went above and beyond as far as helping me with my son to get comfortable with his new bat and swinging techniques. I have never had such good service from an employee and I shop at this store a lot. I just wanted to tell him thank you and great job, I hope you know what kind of employee this gentleman is.

Thanks,
Nick Lutton

My experience with a gentleman at the shoe department was amazing. His name is Mitchell. He helped me find the perfect shoes for me. He had to go through a bunch of shoes due to the fact that I have very small feet for an adult woman. He was patient and knowledgeable about different training shoes.

We bought a ping pong table from Dick's and had to sign for delivery. My wife took a half day off work to be home, but no one showed up during the delivery window. We called the freight company and were assured that the table would be delivered that afternoon, but again no one showed up or called. We thought the delivery company would contact us the next week with an apology, but we actually had to chase them down to re-schedule delivery. So our "free delivery" actually cost my wife a day's pay.
