Cricketdirect Avis 396

Wish I had read reviews before ordering nearly £6 delivery and item doesn’t fit. Tried to start a return on Saturday now two days later still waiting for them to ‘process’ a return so I can return the item and get a refund. Crazy system and can’t believe you can’t apply online and do it straight away.

I bought some cricket whites for my teen, they didn’t have a lot of stock, but understandably, it’s at the end of the season. I then read reviews and thought oh no, they are dreadful, that was a mistake, but no it wasn’t they arrived a couple of days later, and in perfect condition! My only complaint is they didn’t sent an email when they had been sent. But that is just a minor niggle. I would definitely order again.

selling all fake goods which broke probbaly same day, no customer service , and conplety rip off . quality rubbish . dont waste money to buy stuff from them

They made a mistake with my order, didn't rectify it and now I am being threatened with legal action. Absolutely crooks and shameful company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Avoid
Went to their premises in person as I live near by. Before paying for my intended purchases I was told that I would have to provide (i) my full name, (ii) my email address, (iii) my mobile phone number and (iv) my residential address! Upon telling them that I would not do so, I was told quite bluntly that I couldn’t buy from them.
I got what I wanted from some very nice people in Ealing instead.

Ordered my son a cricket helmet.Called after a week to chase up order,told it was with couriers which was delivered that day.Better communication with customer would be better but overall very happy.

Terrible service. Condescending attitude.

Terrible Service!! - you have to pay for your returns in addition to delivery charges on the order
Avoid at all costs

Having placed an order online for trousers and shoes I realised there was a chance they may not arrive in time for when I needed them. But phoned and spoke to Jim who said he would do his best to ensure the items were despatched the same day. Not only that, he phoned to confirm they had been sent and they arrived the next day!

Trying to get a refund is proving very difficult. They didn’t have the item in stock, so no chance of ever receiving the item

Very disappointed with the experience. I have been waiting for my sons cricket bat now for over a week. Last Monday I was promised delivery by DX DELIVERY but every day this week including today the delivery has been cancelled and my much needed bat remains in storage.

Twice I have contacted cricket direct and staff have promised to look into it and call me back and twice they have failed to do so.

The delivery company they use is very hard to contact too.

UPDATE
Still not delivered despite advice that it would be received today.

Ordered a pair of boots for sons birthday 4 days ago, marked as sent on the website order tracking.
Chased today, only to be told they're actually not in stock and would i want something else - NO I don't, and why didn't you tell me that when I ordered.
Won't be rushing back, unless we're desperate and can accept woeful service.

One star is being nice, ordered a bag arrived broken/damaged trying to get a refund is turning into a nightmare, unfortunately I am unable to print the courier label to return it, asked for them to post the return label but no they won’t assist or help, said I should pay to get it returned another way!!! . So wouldn’t say they offer a great service found email response rude as well.

My son broke his cricket helmet & needed a replacement asap .
Jim in customer service was amazing we had a replacement delivered 24 hours later .
Superb service thank you so much

Ordered a pair of cricket trousers in May and they still have not arrived - no correspondence - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Was sent used cricket pads. Completely denied that pads were used. Did not sent our replacement pads as promised. Horrible experience- Never again.

Ordered a pair of shoes on Tuesday, they were delivered on Friday, all as advertised. Can't speak for anyone else who's had a bad experience, but can confirm that company clearly does exist.

***Update to my last review***
They have refunded the postage charge which was paid by me. It shouldn't have to come to this stage where i have to send them 3-4 emails and phone calls, to which they refuse to acknowledge that they are not the one who are paying for delivery and returns. Anyway, it is sorted now, hence i am changing my review to 3 stars!
==============================

Avoid these crooks on all cost. Fist of all, very slow at processing orders and returns.
Secondly, they charge for delivery, which basically means you have to pay return charges if the items is not what you like it to be(specially you are buying shoes as they may not fit perfectly). They dont refund in full, that is, shipping charges! they happily sit on others shipping charges, making people pay for delivery and retunes. Avoid these crooks, they may be in business but you know how many types of crooks are in business! If there was a zero star, i would give that to them! there is a reason they have 1 and half star rating here at trust pilot!

I placed an order for pads, thigh pad and bag and chose them as they had what I wanted and had the best price. Having recently ordered an electrical item from a website that was a proper scam site I read the reviews for Cricketdirect and had a sinking feeling I had repeated my mistake.

I therefore decided to call and was please to be answered and given information that allayed my fears. The next day however I was told the pads were not available but the rest was being sent. I said they could either refund the postage or cancel the order. They provided a refund for pads and postage and ultimately I am happy with the outcome. As the title says ..... they are legitimate just not very good!

I received my order from them, but communication is poor and am so lucky that it was only £6.00 that I spent and not more, so it doesn’t really matter if the item is fake, but I was horrified that a guy had spent over £200 on a bat and didn’t get what he expected. Shocking that they are still trading in my opinion after such poor reviews.
I don’t think I would trust them with any other orders. I’d avoid if I were you.
