SportScene.co.za Served with attitude

I went to sportscene at olivenhoutbotch looking to buy vans sneakers. When I got there no one was willing to assist me and staff busy standing in group s chatting. I saw one of the staff passing by, greeted him and asked of he can help me with a size, he did so and when I asked about the sizes if they are they same from online as I'm not really familiar with sneaker sizes he sounded impatient and annoyed with me. While he was assisting me he was busy talking to one of the staff about things that are not even work related. I am a regular customer of sportscene and I'm obsessed with their sneakers and in return I always expect a memorable service when I go there. I lost intrest in buying the shoe and even went to cancel another sneaker that I have already purchased. The work ethic of olivenhoutbotch sportscene is not on point at all I wonder if the shop even gets to make sales or people always leave due to disappointment I got today. Please improve the service if training is needed to your staff provide one for them. Thank you.

SportScene.co.za Wrong outstanding balance on account

Good day

I have been in contact with customer service sending emails regarding my complain.

I have been keeping track with payment and what I have observed is that I am charged and the balance is more that if should be.

I have asked for statement still they don't correspond with the payment and the instalments I've been making every month, for that the amount is more that what I should pay.

Claimed loss: Outstanding balance doesn't make sense

Desired outcome: I would like for someone to explain to me to be why am I not making progress while I am paying my account every month

SportScene.co.za Puma caven - poor customer service

Hi

My husband and I went to Sportscene Lakeside Mall and purchased 1 pair of Puma Caven Sneakers however we wanted 2 pairs(size 5&6) since we are buying for twins before the purchase was finalized on the other pair we asked that they check where we can get the other pair and they found a pair at Sportscene Eastrand Mall (size6) they confirmed they had the sneaker and size we needed and we made arrangements that we would come the following morning for that pair, they agreed. Sunday morning (23/10/2023) my husband went there to get the other pair but to our surprise he was told they don't have the pair my husband then paid R1000 with the remaining balance of R100 so that they can locate them elsewhere and bring them closer to our location its been 3 days we haven't received a call with the progress

Desired outcome: We need the other pair in size 6

SportScene.co.za Air force shoes

I have purchased airforce shoes from Sportscene through Bash on the 14th of August. I have only wore them once and I found out that they are counterfeit, made in China and it's material is way too soft. I trusted Sportscene and never doubted it that is why I didn't even check if the shoes were legit when they came I only found out after wearing them and I'm past the 30day return policy so I cannot return them but I don't appreciate walking with fake shoes whereas I paid a lot of money.

Desired outcome: An exchange or a refund please

SportScene.co.za Product

I went to Sportscene Alex Plaza to buy sneakers last week on Tuesday, July 25th, at 12:00, only to discover that they weren't available.

I asked a staff member to order an All-star speaker for me, and he confirmed that he did find that sneaker for me. It has now been a week, and I am still waiting for the call from Sportscene Alex Plaza. I'm really disappointed that the Sportscene stores in Alex have no customer service at all, and they treat me as if I'm getting things for free even though I'm paying them with my own money.

Please let Alex Plaza at Sportscene know that I want the All-Sneaker they said they would obtain for me last Tuesday.

I've uploaded my desired sneakers image, I need a size 4

SportScene.co.za Information given out without DPA followed + Rude customer service again

Today, the 25th of July 2023, between 10:15am and 10:30am, I got a call from a call centre agent from Sportscene asking for Matthew. She didn't ask for my last name and she didn't introduce herself either. I didn't confirm it's Matthew but asked where she is calling from and how can I help her. The agent then continued to explain shes calling regarding an outstanding balance. She then gave me my account information without doing any sort of security checks. She carried on explaining my balance and that I should pay up in full or set up an arrangement. I advised her I'm about to start work and only going to be free after 6pm.

The agent then became extremely rude, asking me am I joking, if I am being serious and telling me that she can't call me that time because she will be at home, which I would've easily accepted if she wasn't absolutely condescending and abrupt. I advised the agent in a nice and calm way that this is the only time I'll be available as I won't have access to my phone during the day.

She continued to be disrespectful by again just asking if I'm joking and if I'm serious. I stopped her mid-rant and ask her if she is honestly calling me from a call centre, as a client, and speaking to me this way when all I'm trying to do is schedule a callback and she told me straight over the phone I'm not her client. I was extremely upset at this point but I was at my wits end by how I was being spoken to so I requested to speak to a manager and the agent then proceeded to drop the line.

I admit that I am behind with Sportscene payment as I have been in rehab for 7 months and just started a new job at the start of this month. I am trying my best to settle everything and get my life back on track after everything and the way I was spoken to today and treated by this agent was disgusting.

For them to disclose my information without confirming if I was even the right person, belittle me when I asked to be called back and more so treat me in such a disrespectful way is so disheartening and disappointing. I have worked in call centres, especially customer service, before and this right here doesn't just make me upset but it is messing with my mental health as well. I've never been this disgusted by the way I've been treated by a company before and would like to know which company my account has been handed to so I can be sure to NEVER answer their calls again. If I cannot deal directly with SportScene from here on out, I will wait until my account is moved to another collector because I truly don't think I deserve to be spoken to like I'm a stray dog.

Desired outcome: I want to be compensated. The company broke the law with the DPA and IDNV act. I also feel that the way I was treated should be compensated. I was treated like less then dirt.

SportScene.co.za Service

I visited Sasolburg Sportscene on the 18-07-2023 at around 12:32 to have my account blocked, i had the necessary documents needed, my ID and bank statement.

The staff on the day ddnt seem like they know what to do in order to resolve my problem, i spent 1hour 17 minutes in the shop without them helping me, they would help other customers while they were busy with my case that means i had to wait and wait. I ended up leaving without getting any help.

Desired outcome: I cant utilised my online purchases as my account its block and i need it to be unblocked ASAP

SportScene.co.za Sportscene theku plaza

The abuse and poor service we recieve at Sportscene Theku Plaza located in Newcastle. Suffice to say after today i will never go back there again, i spent 45 minutes at the store today trying to laybye some things, they told me to wait at an inoperative till and never attended me again for the whole 45 minutes all while the only operational till cashier was chatting to the other staff standing around and dancing to music, i never felt so useless. Please not it isnt the first time, last week on saturday i went to buy a redbat jean, after 20 minutes standing in a queue of two people while the tills were empty i left the jean there and exited the store. Please look into it. Thanks.

SportScene.co.za Poor customer service and knowledge

I purchased a E gift card and when to the store to purchase. When at the till to pay and redeem they advised the e gift card is invalid. They called customer service to query but no joy. No one seemed to know the process at the store or at customer care. The store thereafter put me on the phone with customer care. After speaking to the consultant and being cut off numerous times and asking to speak to the customer service manager, evenually I was able to speak to a manager. After 4 hours. He assisted me and we managed to get some resolution which was only sorted out the next day.

Due to the lack of knowledge and the store not knowing the channel people to speak to the poor service and a frustrated customer.

SportScene.co.za Nike Sneakers

I visited Sportscene in Rustenburg Waterfall Mall to purchase sneakers that I liked. When they checked there was only 1 pair left of which the other sneaker was on display. I didn't want to take the shoes cos 1 could see that the colour is no longer white. They insisted I take the shoes eventhough the colours are not the same. I feel they could have checked for me in other stores, I haven't worn them cos I can't start by washing them whereas they are still new. They gave me 10% discount but I still feel they could have made an effort to check for me in other stores. Is there anyway I could rectify this issue?

Desired outcome: Kindly check for me in other stores if I can't find the same clean sneakers

SportScene.co.za Nike tights

To whom it may concern,

On Sunday, 9 April 2023, I purchased a Nike T-shirt and matching tights from Sportscene at Cavendish Square for an event I was attending that same evening. I fitted in the tights and all was well. Later that evening the tread started running and subsequently forming a hole below the Nike waist elastic band. I unfortunately cannot accept purchasing brand new tights at the value of R650 and only have to repair them after one wear. Nike is a trusted brand which I have been wearing for a very long time and I am quite disappointed to have to file a complaint for quality.

Desired outcome: I still have my slip and price tags and I will be visiting my nearest store today. I kindly hope that I will receive efficient customer care and the necessary protocol followed for such complaints.
