Review: False, Bait and Switch advertising. Week of July 4th Sales Ad pages included a Potomac Pathfinder kayak onsale @ $150. When I got there on the very first day, product is "sold out" in the local region, "sorry" there is no restocking of product during this sale week and of course no rain check, however there are other similar kayaks available - just costing only twice as much! Today is only 6/30/2013...Not even July 4th yet!Desired Settlement: Wasting my time and gas!

Review: I bought a mountain bike from dicks and it never worked properly.

I bought a [redacted] mountain bike from dicks in [redacted] wi in 2009 I also bought a warranty With this warranty I was to bring the bike into the store for repairs. When I first purchased the bike the kids in the store toyed around with the bike for 2 hours got it home it didn't work properly so I brought it back the next week. They worked on it 7 days later I got the bike back still didn't work again took it back there again. Took another week and was still not working do I took it to a different location and the same results from the [redacted] il store. The warranty only covers 3 times of being worked on and I paid $200 for the bike and $50 for the warranty. They offered me $50 gift card to bring my bike in and be worked on by them again. Not a suitable resolution since they failed 4 times to get my bike to work properly.Desired Settlement: I would like a replacement bike and I will pay a bycicle shop to make sure it is in working order.

Review: I bought an elliptical from dicks last year. After 3 months, the screen stopped working. After contacting Dick's they referred me to the elliptical maker, Epic. Epic sent me a chip they said would fix the problem. I received the chip but the screen still didn't work so I contacted Epic again. They told me there was a defect in the computer and they would have to send me a completely new screen. I was told that unfortunately the screen was out of stock and they had no idea when it would be in. They couldn't even tell me if it would be a year or a month. I contacted Dick's again and s lady said she would send my issue to somone above her to be reviewed and I would hear back from them in 2 business days. I just received a generic email that had absolutely nothing to do with my problem. The email was talking about online sales being returnable after 90 days and just to put the item back in the box and they would send me a return label. I have been trying to be patient and now it's been about 10 months that I've been paying on a piece of equipment that has only worked for 3 months. I feel like they sold me a lemon, and aren't trying to do anything to fix the problem! I just had a baby and the whole point of purchasing the elliptical was so I could work out from home, which I can't do now!Desired Settlement: I would like a new elliptical of equal value, one that actually works! Unless they can get me a new screen for mine in a timely manner.

Review: I ordered two games on two separate orders for delivery to my office, a ping pong table and a foosball table. I paid for "white glove" service which included delivery to a specific room and installation/set-up.

The games were delivered and the delivery company refused to set-up. We have been on the phone trying to get the delivery company to return or schedule the actual installation. They claim this is "not their department" but do acknowledge that we paid for installation.Desired Settlement: Return and install/set-up the two games

Review: I entered dicks sporting goods at approx 640pm. Soon after I approached the sales counter to ask for assistance on a baseball bat that was locked up. After waiting several minutes the security guard approached and said it would just a few minutes the person with the keys was helping someone. After waiting almost 20 minutes I then looked over at the sales counter and noticed three associates standing engaged In Conversation, one customer insight, my observation someone could of helped. The associate with the keys walked right by use and never acknowledge us. The security guard even apologized. My perception was we were being discrimated against. We waited a few minutes later and then left and proceeded to sports authority. I called to speak with a manager at 722pm, this is the time we left. I called. Immediately after leaving store. I was told she was busy and unable to take my call. The service associate said I would receive a call back in a few minutes, after 1 plus hour I called back where the manager was very argumentative and justifying the actions and blaming it on short staffing. I asked for district manager information where she refused to give. I have spend thousands of dollars in this store and I have had more bad service than good. This was the last straw to drive me to complain to the Revdex.com. I would like this complaint addressed as I was completely incovienced and treated with complete dis respect. I hope this mater is taken seriously and I would appreciate contact back.Thank you[redacted]Desired Settlement: Contact and reimbursement for my time.

Review: I went to your retail store on January 18th. I found a pair of nike capris which were on sale for 44.99. Unfortunately they didn't gave my size so the sales rep suggested that I purchase them from online. When placing the order online it was priced at 60. [redacted] order was placed in the store and it was suggested that I call in for a price match. They suggested they could call to do the same, however I wasn't to receptive to the idea since I spent a long time placing the order since their was system issues. I called within 2 minutes to ask for the price adjustment and to make a small adjustment to shipping address. The guy was helpful he submitted the request for the rate adjustment. He also said its not normal practice to change shipping address but since the order was just placed he could do it. All of which would be confirmed on the shipping email.I got my shipping confirmation and the price was still 60 and the shipping address was incorrect. So I called and got Bill. Hmmm, Bills approach was as though he didn't want to help. I was courteous however he seemed sarcastic to the point I had to question him on it. He pulled up my order and told me the adjustment was sent in for approval when earlier in the conversation he told he it couldn't be done. Then when I asked about the shipping address he said at 3:38am he can't check that. I asked him was it necessary to tell me the time - a more appropriate answer would have been since it's outside normal business hours he can't check. Needless to say I asked his name and told him I would be discontinuing the call. I really haven't had a good experience with Dicks sporting goods. The first of which when trying to get information on your return policy by calling the Rockville center store they would pick up and hang up. This happen more then 3 times. All of which I have phone records to prove this.Desired Settlement: Refund and for bill to be trained on better customer service.

Review: Dick's sporting goods had promotion for guaranteed holiday delivery or keep product for free. Their website stated to place an order by 11:59 pm "PST", Dec 18 to be delivered by the end of Dec 24 via standard shipping. I placed an order at 11:17 pm PST, got email confirmation that order was received and credit card was authorized right away. But the item was not delivered in time. I contacted the merchant on Dec 26 to ask for credit. I got in contact with merchant several times with no clear answer. Customer Service Supervisor called me on Jan 22, and she told me that my order did not qualify because their system shows the order was made on Dec 19 at 2:17 am "EST". Dec 19, 2:17 am EST is Dec 18, 11:17pm PST and "PST" is what fine print stated on their site. I explained that to her but she kept saying "No. It has to be in our time". She also said that even if the order was made on Dec 18 in their time, it would not qualify because the handling time had to be 1-2 days in order for the delivery is made in time but I don't control their handling time. They took almost a week and it's on them. She then stated that the package was delayed due to bad weather condition. I explained to her that the weather was not the reason the delivered wasn't in time. They took their time for handling and did not ship until the evening of Dec 24 so there was no way that the package would have been delivered to me by Dec 24 either way. She kept saying the same thing over and over and I realized that it was not going anywhere by talking to her so I requested to speak with her boss or somebody in higher position than her. She told me that they do not have numbers that I can call and I had to wait for them to call me. She told me that I would hear back within 2 to 5 business days. No word from anybody so I left her messages on Feb 2nd and again on Feb 4th with no response. I have read the restrictions in fine print closely and I do not find any reason why I should not get a refund as advertise.Desired Settlement: I would like them to stand behind what they advertised and issue me a refund. Revdex.com website did not allow me to upload all documents that I have but I have them in file to be reviewed upon request.

Review: Ordered a pair of $39.97** soccer shoes (in stock) online on 01/01/15. On 01/08/15 was notified via email that the order was cancelled (no reason given). When I contacted them- was told they no longer had the shoes. They could not explain why it took them 7 days to determine that they did not have them. When I complained about that, they offered $15 off a future purchase. My husband called in to Dicks and gave them the item number and explained the situation. They said they had the item and would give him the best discount they could (25%). When we got to the purchase point (credit card # etc) the total was $54.00. We explained that online it was $39.97. They said it was the best they could do. Cannot help but feel that they gave our original item to someone else....or it was bait and switch. Shoes **HYPERVENOM PHELON IC ORGBLK, ORANGE/BLACK, 10.0Desired Settlement: Ideally....we would get the shoes we wanted for the price it was listed - $39.97 Not sure what other resolution would work - make sure the items they show as "in stock" are actually available for purchase. Be more prompt and specific in notification when there is a problem (if we had known sooner we could have purchased a different item sooner). When they offered to make compensation towards an item- it is actually true compensation- not apparently an "up-sell"

Review: We placed an order on Dec. 11 and were told the item was in stock and would arrive well before Christmas. On Dec. 18 we received an email with a USPS tracking number that the order had been shipped with 1 day shipping and would arrive by Dec. 19. On Dec. 20 we checked with the post office and was told the item tracking number was never in their system and the item was not shipped. We called Dick's and were told they had made a mistake and would reship immediately. On Dec. 23 we called after not receiving the item and were not helped. On Dec. 24 we called the company and spoke to Theresa in customer service in Wisconsin. She found that the items still had not shipped even though the company guaranteed shipment before Christmas in all their advertisements. We asked for an order cancellation and credit to our credit card which had been charged for the item on Dec. 18. She would not do this and after an hour of her texting back and forth with a supervisor in another building while keeping me on hold, provided no resolution. She would not credit my account. I contacted our credit card company to file a dispute claim. Nothing has been solved as of yet. I will never order from this company again and advise others not to do so.Desired Settlement: Revdex.com needs to inform other customers of this company's false advertising and failure to complete orders, ship products or help customers. They do not allow customers to speak to a manager. They do not resolve the problem by offering an immediate credit to the customer's credit card. This is the worse company I have ever dealed with as far as orders and customer service.

Review: I ordered a jacket at this store on 12-29-13. The item was listed as in stock and the salesperson said I should have it in 4-5 days. I then received an e-mail later that day with an order confirmation. Later that day another e-mail was sent saying my order was being processed. On the 31st I received a message saying the order was cancelled. I called customer service and they didn't know why it was cancelled because it was a stocked item. I re-ordered the item on the 31st and received the same e-mails confirming the order and it being processed. I haven't received the item yet or heard from anyone at Dick's.

Review: My order #[redacted] was cancelled today when it was guaranteed for arrival by no later then 12/24/14 as of 12/19/14. Dicks sporting goods claim was that if the item is not delivered by said date, item(s) would be free of charge, with a contact to customer service for credit of funds. Cancellation of the order was not provided until a date that the shipping was no longer possible achieve without the company occurring additional shipping cost. Cancellation was deemed necessary due to lack of of stock, but again lack of stock wasn't determined until outside of their shipping guarantee. I was only offered a 25% discount on selected items, in consolidation of not receiving the gift I have order. I contacted Customer service to confirm the company was not going to honor their guarantee to provide said item at no cost to the consumer. I was denied a supervisor upon my first attempt of contact. Upon my second contact I was able to reach a supervisor after a 12 min hold, who was not able to offer any form compensation to match the inconvenience caused by the delayed cancellation and inability to honor company guarantee. I have now had to order Item from another company at an expedited shipping cost to resolve my holiday needs.Desired Settlement: I would like sporting goods to provide requested item at zero cost as per their guarantee as soon they are able to acquire additional stock or to be issued cost of item in a form of monetary compensation, be it in a gift card for their institution, or check issued to me.

Review: I recently purchased a Treadmill from Dick's Sporting Goods. In the process of making my purchase, I was offered a credit card in order to save 10% on my first purchase. That is all good and fine. My issue is with the fact that Dick's Sporting Goods promptly sold my cell phone and work numbers to not just the highest bidder, but if indications are correct, ALL bidders. I am now receiving 3-4 calls per day, on both lines from telemarketers, and this has been going on for several weeks now. I have had my cell phone number for 15+ years, and this is the first time I've ever had this issue. I have been registered with the National Do Not Call Registry for years, and even this has done nothing to curb the influx of unsolicited calls. Dick's Sporting Goods is the ONLY company that I have given both of these numbers to, and the only company for whom I have applied for and received a credit card in over a decade. I neither find this amusing, nor acceptable, and I can guarantee that Death Valley will freeze over long before I spend another dollar with Dick's Sporting Goods. I will also being cancelling this credit card post haste, and will make sure that everyone I know is informed about the privacy policies (or lack thereof) that Dick's Sporting Goods employs.Desired Settlement: These calls need to stop. Immediately. How is it even remotely legal for companies to call repeatedly, and/or for you to not be able to call the same number back?

Review: On June 26, 2013, I purchashed the NHL Bhawks Red SCF Roster SS T, youth L. The item was scheduled to be shipped in 3-6 business days. Today, July 5, 2013, I received an email that the order was cancelled due to availability. I was told to order this online by the store manager of the Niles, IL store. At this time, this shirt is no longer available at Dick's or any other store. I called customer service and spoke with [redacted], a supervisor. She explained that the the item was most likely damaged after it was put on the shelf and checked upon receipt, maybe from a storm or water damage. She stated that items are checked before put on the shelf. She stated that if it was oversold, I would have been notified right away. Trying to figure out how this happened and why. She told me that she was emailing me a $15 gift certificate to use for a future purchase. I told her she can send it, but I have no confidence in the company that something like this wouldn't happen again. I would like to know the reason why this happened and not just assumptions before purchasing from them again. I purchase most of my items online and have never had anything like this happen. I haven't received the gift certificate anyway.Desired Settlement: I would like an explanation as to why I didn't receive the shirt. The reason, not available, doesn't give a full explanation. I don't want an assumption, which is what [redacted] gave me. I would like to know exactly what happened. If I could understand, then I would use the gift certifcate (if she ever sends to me) and would make future purchases from them again. Otherwise, my business with them is over. As stated above, this item can't be found anyone else.

It is our desire to ensure each customer has a positive experience shopping in our stores and online.

Please note that our office did confirm the $15.00 gift card was issued to insure we have delivered on this commitment.

Review: Today, I went to www.dickssportinggoods.com to order a bike for my son's birthday. I saw a couple of bikes I was considering, but from the site, I could not tell if they were also available in my local store. So I called the store. The bikes in which I was interested were not in stock at the store. However, the employee told me if I came to the store, he could special order it for me and I would not have to pay shipping. So, I went to the store and waited for someone who could help me. The associate was courteous, but he was just going to the same website I go to from home. He tried his best, but it would have basically just been the same as me ordering it from home - which was much more convenient for me to have done in the first place if the store didn't have it in stock and could not save me on the shipping cost. So I thanked him and told him I would just place the order at home. When I got home, I saw I could sign up for the email newsletters and save 10% of my next order. I figured that would be about the same as the shipping cost I was hoping to save. So I signed up and waited for the email. When it arrived, I clicked the link in the email, then I added the bike to my cart and went to checkout. No discount. I called the 800 number to ask about this. It seems the bike is on sale so it's excluded. Oh well. I am getting the bike anyway, and I just decide to go ahead with the order and pay the shipping. It is standard shipping "(3 - 6 business days). My son's birthday is soon, so this will work out. I complete the order, then it says: IN STOCK. "You can expect to receive your item(s) between 7/7/14 and 7/14/14/" What? I understand July 4th is a holiday -- but that's just one day. How did 3 - 6 day shipping turn into possibly 13 day shipping? This is starting to sound like the terrible time I decided to order Christmas lights from Sears. I feel as if I have been misled through every step of this shopping experience, and I am very disappointed.Desired Settlement: My order number is: 3368211186. I think I should receive free shipping on this order since it was promised to me. I also think the order should really arrive in 3 - 6 days instead of 6 - 12 days.

Dear Revdex.com,

Review: Dick's Sporting Good advertised a product for a particular price. I purchased said product online with price. My order had a status of "Item located in stock" for 4 days, when another item I ordered was shipped. Therefore I contacted customer service to see the status of the order. They apologized for the delay and said there was "discrepancy in warehouse location for the order" but said that was cleared and they would ship within a couple of business days. One day later, I received an email saying the order was cancelled "due to overwhelming holiday demand". Followed by a second email offering 15% off for the trouble. Now two different reasons. But I accepted that and I was going to order another item or color, I went to the website and saw the exact same shirt including same size and color still available on the website. Therefore I placed that item back in my shopping cart and was going to utilize the 15% off but my price would have been more than what I originally placed the order for so I contact Dick's Sporting Good customer service. A manager with customer service called and gave me yet another reason for my order not being fulfilled stating that item wasn't supposed to receive a promo price but she would still offer the 15% off. Three different reasons for not fulfilling an order. Told three different stories - False advertising, delays in shipping.Desired Settlement: I would like to receive my original order at the original price offered.

Review: Hello, I received a postcard advertisement from Dicks Sporting goods about 2 1/2 weeks ago. In this ad on the front of it,was a Savage Axis XP firearm.(This gun was on sale for a good price.) The picture clearly shows that the firearm is left handed. This is very exciting for me because I am left handed and so is my son. I was going to get it for him for his birthday. I called every Dicks Sporting Goods store with in 150 miles as me. They all said they didn't have any. I then called the Corporate sales department to try to find one. The sales representative told me to call the local store to have it special ordered. I then called the store and they told me that it cannot be ordered. I call corporate back to tell them my issues. They told me that the gun cannot be ordered, Savage does not make an Axis XP (combo) in left handed. What that means is that they make the gun in left handed, and they make the scope but the gun company does not make the combo. How can Dicks Sporting Goods have a Gun combo on sale that don't exist. They told me it was Savage Arms fault for the photo on there advertisement. I believe this false advertising. Isn't it? They are not willing to make up the sale in any shape way or form. They basically said it's not their fault. They are responsible for the content that is advertised.Desired Settlement: I feel they should give me the opportunity to at least purchase the left handed gun, and I wanted to buy 2 of them, without the scope for the same advertised price as in their ad that showed the combo package. This would make up for their false advertising.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Review: My 14 year old daughter was shopping at Dick's in Woodbury, MN. She needed to try something on, so a sales assistant let her into a dressing room. After she was undressed, a different male sales assistant opened the door unexpectedly (with a male customer present). They both were able to observe my undressed daughter before closing the door.I called and spoke with the manager on duty, and was basically told that they had knocked and did not hear a response so they had opened the door. I asked what they were going to do to ensure that teenage girls' expectation of privacy in a dressing room was respected. The manager on duty said they could post a sign saying to speak up when they knock. The manager did not seem too concerned that a male employee opened the dressing room door while my daughter was undressed.There are no internal locks on the doors at Dick's in Woodbury, or "occupied" signs that can be activated. Teenage girls, and people in general, have an expectation of privacy in store dressing rooms, and I want to know what Dick's intends to do to make sure this doesn't occur again.Desired Settlement: Dick's need to implement a secure method that prevents sales clerks from opening the dressing room doors while teenage girls are undressed. Some way of either preventing entry or guaranteeing no occupancy would be in order.

It is always Dick’s Sporting Goods goal to ensure our customer's satisfaction. We truly regret to hear of the experience Mr. XXXXXX's daughter encountered at our Woodbury, MN location. This feedback provides Dick's Sporting Goods with the opportunity to review our current practices in the store and evaluate improvements to ensure customer's privacy in our fitting rooms.

On May 19, 2014, Dick's Sporting Goods Customer Service Supervisor reached out to the XXXXX family by telephone. The Supervisor had the opportunity to speak to Mr. XXXX's wife who was shopping with their daughters at Dick's Sporting Goods when the incident occurred. It was confirmed that the customer in the fitting room had the door locked and when she heard a knock she stated that she was present inside. A male associate and male customer did not hear that anybody was in the dressing room and proceeded to open the door with a store key.

Dick's Sporting Goods extends their deepest apologies for this unfortunate situation. It is important that our associates and management are trained to focus and have 100% awareness of the privacy of our customer's specifically when entering dressing rooms. When Mr. XXXX discussed this encounter with store management it was apparent that the daughter's experience was not given the proper attention or concern for the nature of the situation.

Dick's Sporting Goods is always looking for ways to improve current store practices. Store associates have a responsibility to check our fitting rooms routinely throughout the day for cleanliness and removal of items left behind. We understand the request of the family to implement a secure method that prevents sales clerks from entering dressing rooms while occupied. Per our conversation, process changes of this nature can certainly be proposed for possible future consideration but doesn't guarantee an immediate change. In the meantime, the feedback provided by Mr. XXXX allows us to evaluate how our associates are approaching the dressing rooms and the opportunity to take extra steps to ensure nobody is inside before entering.

Further, we wanted to again express our sincere apologies for the sensitive situation that occurred. We have extended a $200.00 gift card to the XXXXX family as a good will gesture. This gift card can be used for purchases in store or online.

Review: On December 17, 2014 I purchased two pairs of batting gloves as a gift for my nephew. Due to some problems at this store in the past I made sure that I double checked the price on the rack. When I was at the check out the one pair was ten dollars more than what was marked. I told the person at the checkout that it was incorrect and she credited me the $10. The problem is that this was the fourth time in a row in this store that the price at the checkout was higher than what was marked. In the past it was ski pants for my son, a pair of Nike air monarch shoes and the last case I believe it was another pair of shoes. On one such occasion I asked to speak to a manager and he mentioned that it's not unusual because there are so many items in their inventory. I always thought that's why we have computers in this digital world we live in. Within a few days after December 17, 2014 I called from home to speak to a manager. A gentlemen by the name of [redacted] spoke to me and I explained to him what happened and that I was going to file a Revdex.com claim.Desired Settlement: Please fix this problem so I and others can continue to shop at this cool store without any hassles. It is these problems which causes so many to shop online.

Dear Revdex.com,We are very sorry to hear of Mr. XXXX's experience at our store. There are times when customer's identify a pricing discrepancy on merchandise in our store and our associates should work with our customer to explain proper pricing and update any incorrect signage or product tags. We are focused on continuous improvement so we will work directly with the store sharing this feedback and paying close attention to pricing and tags as merchandise is moved and updated on our shelves. We would like to extend a $10.00 Bonus Certificate to Mr. XXXX for the disputed price. He should receive this in 7-10 business days at the address he provided on the complaint. We appreciate receiving this feedback so we can improve the shopping experience for our customers in the future.Sincerely,Dick's Sporting Goods

Review: I have placed 2 separate orders from DicksSportingGoods.com. I ordered a compression shirt and pants on the first order. The pants arrived but not the shirt. I have called to inquire about the shirt. I was told this shirt will be shipped and I will get an email re: tracking etc. Dec 4, I received an email with tracking info. I kept checking on the tracking per UPS website, "info will be update as soon as they receive the item to ship". My credit card was charged for this item. I called customer service Dec 7, I called customer service again. I was told she will place a replacement order as this was a lost shipment. Dec 11, I called again. Spoke with a manager assured that I will get shipment info in the next 24 hours. I received an email stating that they cancelled my order. I called Dicks again wanting to find out why in my previous conversations with customer service I was not told about the item being out of stock. I asked that they credit my account same day because as it was a big inconvenience that I had to make multiple calls about this shirt only for them to cancel this order. They never offered to give me a different color that has the same price as the one I bought. I checked their website, they have several colors compression shirts that was marked down exactly to the purchase amount of the shirt I bought (Dicks conveniently cancelled my order.)I bought 2 pairs of basketball shoes on my 2nd order placed Nov 29. I received the shoes, however an ink tag was still attached to the shoe. I had to drive 1 hour 1 way to a Dicks store to have the ink tag removed. I called customer service and they offered to give $20 credit. Unfortunately, they credited it to the gift card that was thrown away after it was used ( I used 2 payments gift card & credit card for this purchase. It was a useless credit. I have to call customer service again and asked them to credit to my credit card.I have had such horrible, terrible customer service experience especially the managers I had dealt with.Desired Settlement: I would like for Dicks to give me a $20 credit on my credit card not on the gift card for order# [redacted]. I want a full refund $23.83 back on my credit card for the compression shirt I had ordered ( Dicks cancelled this order) order# [redacted]. I want Dicks to give me a compression shirt that was advertised on their website item #[redacted] for the exact same amount of the shirt I purchased of $22.48 for free. This for all the inconvenience and difficulty dealing with Dicks managers.
