Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 178 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently report major dissatisfaction regarding the products received, often being sent incorrect items or receiving shoes that are visibly worn, not fitting as expected, or being misrepresented in description. Many people feel the process following an issue is extremely frustrating, often requiring them to pursue chargebacks because their attempts to resolve problems internally were ignored. Some reviewers mentioned that contacting the business is nearly impossible, citing non-existent phone lines or website forms that do not provide assistance. A few other people also felt that when delivery issues arise, the associated courier processes can lead to significant trouble, such as packages being sent to the wrong address or getting lost.

Well..easy to order and have the item next day but if the sizing is not correct, it is super difficult to return. Will not be buying from them again.

I have been trying to contact Lovell Sports to enquire about a product, and they are uncontactable. Based on the difficulty in trying to contact them, I would not purchase anything.

If I could give no stars I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This company is a complete let down. I have not received my order in nearly a month. The parcel was left outside my front door and they have not done anything to put it right. I wasn’t offered a replacement or a refund I’m still waiting and have been for nearly a month!!!!!!!!

I have been emailing for an update but just seem to be getting ignored. I will never shop with this company again and looking at there previous reviews you can see they don’t know what they are doing.

I am so disappointed and will be looking to arrange a charge back with my bank as I have not received the items I paid for and have not been refunded.

Do not shop here terrible customer services.

Still no refund

Ordered a coach shoulder bag, the wrong product was delivered. When I’ve returned I’ve tracked my parcel which was delivered 5 days ago. Still no confirmation that the return has been received and no contact regarding the full refund. I’ve used the online contact form and still no response. Still awaiting full refund.

Awful customer service

Running trainers ordered and didn’t fit. I returned them for a refund and this still hasn’t been paid back despite the item being back with them for over a week and time period they said the refund would be issued. The replies are slow and there is no consistency to the replies. Would not buy again and advise against.

Dreadful company

Dreadful company.
Website terrible to use, unless you want to buy something of course!
Very difficult to navigate. No customer aftercare at all.

Ordered two pairs of trainers. One pair arrived,they went straight back, I'm still waiting for them to even acknowledge it although I know it arrived a week ago because I tracked. I'm still waiting for the other pair of trainers,it's been 20 days so far.....

Don't bother to ring them as their phone lines are closed down.

Emailing doesn't work either.

Disaster

Five weeks ago my son’s new £130 addidas preditors arrived. He has worn them three times and now the elastic strap whipped out of the tongue. Over the last five days I have had three replies to my request for new boots to be told to send them back to be assessed. I had already supplied photo evidence of the fault. What boots are they expecting my son to use as they have already said to allow 7 days for it to get back to them then how many more days for them to deal with the situation and has if they don’t lose them! It’s not like can ring the company as they don’t have a phone number. I blame myself really for not knowing this company is also sports direct. RIP off!

Not as described, Levi’s jeans

Dreadful waste of time. Ordered a pair of Levi’s jeans from Lovell Sports, same as I have previously bought from Levi’s. The jeans received bear no resemblance to the size ordered, being many inches too large in the waist and not anywhere close to the correct length. The label inside the jeans doesn’t match that on the outside. Goods are not as described/ reasonably expected from the description . I need to return and hope Lovell Sports will do as they should and cover all postage costs. Not heard back from customer services yet.

The package was 3 weeks late and the wrong size and Lovell Sports both has been ignoring my emails and the dispatch was not in the email. It is impossibile to figure out how to return these and I want a full refund. I will just have to keep emailing them and leaving reviews until I am heard I guess.

Lovell sports avoid!

Ordered a pair of trainers and paid for next day delivery, a week later and counting still not received items they are impossible to contact. The phone numbers you find are dead, and no response from the emails I've sent and query forms that are on the website. Non existence customer service and I believe the next day delivery service for £9.99 is a scam, they simply can't deliver item's next day and they know this!

Illogical and unreasonable customer service

We spent a fair amount of money on a wall mounted basketball hoop for my son. After spending many hours mounting the hoop, sadly it broke in less than six months as the metal hadn’t been soldered on properly. Now the vibrations we hear every time a ball is thrown hurts my ears… having sent clear photos of the problem and asking for a replacement of the broken hoop, their customer service has been non-existent and a case of “computer says no”. They are asking us to carefully package up the whole thing (in what I have no idea as the original packaging is long gone), for me to stay in when a courier comes to collect it (I can’t leave it on the doorstep so am going to have to hang around for hours), so they can inspect it before they consider sending a replacement. When I pointed out that this will require us to hire a tall ladder another TWO times (once to remove the broken one and once to put up the replacement when they finally send it), and asked for the replacement to be sent at the same time the broken one is collected, the answer is just no… so as well as the inconvenience of having installed a faulty product in the first place, they are now wanting to put me to yet more inconvenience. Please don’t buy from here - when I’ve bought from other outlets, if a product can be shown to be faulty they will replace it (it’s not exactly easy to return a wall mounted basketball hoop!). I’m struggling to comprehend how they think this is an acceptable response, and will incur more cost themselves in sending a courier out twice rather than once.

RECEIVED WORN, DIRTY TRAINERS!

ORDER LOVE33874
This review will be removed if/when you resolve the issue.

I ordered a pair of trainers which arrived visibly worn and dirty. Absolutely disgusting. If I'd wanted second hand trainers that someone else had already had their sweaty foot inside then I would've gone to Vinted!

“Ada” refused to replace the trainers (despite them showing as in stock) and stated the only option was to return them for a full refund.

I will never use this company again, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend that anyone reading this review does either.

Would never buy from Lovell Sports ever again, LOVE32747
I purchased netball trainers for my daughters birthday, Evri delivered with totally wrong time frame, as a result parcel was left on my door step and then stolen,
Evri has been great set up and investigation but I need to contact Lovell Sports, for further help, 3 emails, 2 contact forms and no response, so not only am I out of pocket I do not even have the item. I just want a refund as once they check with Evri as had to purchase a different pair of trainers on the weekend.
Very poor indeed.

Regarding order number LOVE31777.

Regarding order number LOVE31777.

LOVELL SPORTS IS A CRIMINALLY MOTIVATED SCAM COMPANY!

DO NOT SHOP HERE!

I ordered a relatively low value item with Lovell Sports with the promise of "unbeatable value". I paid £10 for next day delivery. They employed a random courier called EVRI who has a delivery man working for them who is clearly a petty thief.
They delivered my parcel while I was at work. As I was not at home they attempted to give it to my neighbour (Female). She rejected the parcel as she was not the recipient, however the petty thief employee of EVRI marked the parcel as delivered.
HE SUBSEQUENTLY KEPT THE PARCEL FOR HIMSELF I IMAGINE AS HE'S A PETTY THIEF.

FURTHERMORE LOVELL SPORTS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICES PHONE NUMBER NEVER WORKS AND I'VE TRIED TO CALL IT AT VARIOUS DIFFERENT TIMES AND DAYS.

I SENT 5 CONTACT FORMS OVER A PERIOD OF 5 DAYS, AFTER 5 DAYS THEY EVENTUALLY REPLIED WITH A DISMISSIVE EMAIL STATING THAT THE PARCEL HAD BEEN DELIVERED AND THAT I WOULD NOT RECEIVE A REFUND.

THE PERSON WHO EMAILED ME WAS CALLED "SOPHIE" WHO IS CLEARLY A LOWLY PERSON BEREFT OF ANY MORALS.

DO NOT SHOP WITH THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY .
