The management at the Falkirk branch are honestly on a power trip. Forcing the folk at the till to get people to take Frasers plus, why are we encouraging people to get into debt!

Laughable, completely wrong item received . Abosolute joke of a returns process, I have to pay to return? Avoid at all costs.

Title: Poor Service, Broken Returns System, and Hidden Charges
Title: Poor Service, Broken Returns System, and Hidden Charges
I ordered a pair of trainers for my husband for Father’s Day from Sports Direct. They didn’t arrive on time, and when they finally did, they didn’t fit.
I went into a store to exchange them and was told I could only return them online, which is incredibly inconvenient and not clearly explained when ordering.
When I tried to return them online, the system wouldn’t allow me to process the return — and to make matters worse, the dispatch label had cut off the order number, making it even harder to complete the return.
Even if the return had worked, I discovered it would cost me £4.99 just to send them back, which feels like a rip-off, especially given the hassle I’ve already been through.
This whole experience has been a mess from start to finish — poor communication, poor customer service, a broken returns system, and hidden costs. I won’t be shopping with Sports Direct again unless they seriously improve how they treat their customers.
