Pro:Direct Soccer
Reviews and Complaints

Possibly the worst company I've ever dealt with. Unfortunately you have to give 1 star to write a review but they dont deserve a single star. Ordered a birthday present for my son on 21/2/24. 7/3/24 I email customer services about my order as I hadn't received it or any tracking information. 8/3/24 I receive an email "sorry you are returning your order..." however i never received anything about it being delivered. I went to the collection point, quizzed them and on further investigation my delivery NEVER arrived even though tracking showed delivery on 6/3/24. I contacted Prodirect the same day via chat with Casey (which i have the transcript of) and was told "Your order was missing your name upon dispatch so it was returned by the courier...provide your name and we'll redeliver as prority but the process will take 7 days...". This missing address issue was reinforced by David from the customer returns department though he covered up the school error of not putting my name on by stating "there was a delivery address discrepency". 17/3/24 still and again no communication so I make contact again and request a phone call. Over the next 2 days it was passed on to Rhys in the esculations department where I was told to provide a delivery address (scroll back up to the chat) which I did only to be told it had to be an Evri collection point. Isn't that on the order from 21/2/24? Was this order ever dispatched ProDirect? In the same time frame was offered a 10% off voucher which covered the cost of personalisation and delivery. They must have thought it was april fools with that offer as it was as funny as a fart in a lift. The last email was on the 18/3/24 now a week ago from Rhys telling me this will be passed onto the transit team and that neither him or customer services will be assisting any further and they'll be in touch in 2-3 days. They've never heard of Craig David because he got through a whole relationship in 7 days while these bone idle cowboys cant even get round to an email. Over £150 out of product and my son without a birthday present. Trading standards and anyother bodies is my next point of call #StayAway

I recently ordered a pair of boots from prodirectsoccer.com but unfortunately did not receive any order confirmation despite the money being taken out of my account. The next day, I received three promotional emails about items still in my basket, which made me suspicious. I logged onto my account and found no order history. I promptly contacted their support team and was disappointed to hear that my order could not be located in their system, but was found in the payment system instead. I was assured that the IT team is currently investigating and would resolve the issue as soon as possible.

As someone who needed the boots within a specific timeframe, this situation was disappointing. A reliable company should have notified me immediately when they realised the issue with my order and worked to rectify the problem as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, the customer service representative who addressed me as "Dear Leah" was very polite and apologetic for any inconvenience caused. They kindly informed me that if I do not receive an order confirmation within the next 48 hours, my order will be considered unsuccessful and the pre-authorised funds will be released back to my account, increasing my available balance. They also advised that I could place a new order on the site after the 48-hour window has elapsed.

Overall, my experience with Pro:Direct Soccer was not a particularly good one due to the lack of order confirmation and delay in delivery. However, the customer service representative was helpful and courteous in dealing with my concerns. I hope they can improve their system in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Ordered some shirts off Pro:Direct Soccer and paid for the shipping too, but then got an email saying the order was delivered even though it wasn't! Can you believe it?! I got into an email war with them and I admit, I got pretty heated. I kept asking for a refund and they kept dragging it out. Then, out of nowhere, my colleague signed for the England shirt yesterday. But where are the All Blacks and Lions shirts? I checked the tracking and it said everything was delivered, but that's a lie. I'm not stupid. This has been the worst shopping experience ever and both companies are lacking in customer service. Why don't they have a phone number we can call? They just hide behind emails. Just give me my shirts and I never want to deal with you again! I'm done. Exhausted by you.

I recently purchased a pair of OC trainers from Pro:Direct Soccer, but unfortunately they didn't fit as expected. So, as a normal person would do, I returned the trainers right away. However, my experience with this provider turned out to be a complete nightmare.

After 12 days, I received the same box that I had sent back, but to my surprise, it contained a pair of cheap swim/beach shoes worth no more than £5. This was extremely disappointing and confusing, so I reached out to their customer service team to inquire about the issue. Unfortunately, the response I got from their customer service was terrible! They simply told me that they do not sell these type of shoes and that they were returning what I had sent to them. I was furious and felt like they were insulting my intelligence.

I replied back to them expressing my annoyance and explained that I returned what I had bought from them due to poor fit. I also pointed out that they are based in Devon and cheap swim shoes are regularly sold there.

As a person who has made 300+ orders on Amazon alone in a year, I have never experienced such poor customer service. As a result, I have decided to contact my card provider to get my money back. I would not recommend trading with this provider. After doing some research, I was surprised to see how many terrible reviews they have.

It's obvious that there's no smoke without fire, and it seems like this provider is in the business of taking advantage of honest people. They are simply a bunch of cowboys/girls who do not care about their customers' satisfaction. What's more frustrating is that they remove either their surnames or respond with e.g. Neil P, which raises even more red flags.

I urge people to avoid trading with this provider at all costs. This review will not be altered unless they acknowledge their mistakes and fix their problematic business practices. Even Trustpilot has many similar reviews, but they seem not to care. So, people beware!

I’ve got a few things to say about Pro Direct Soccer. I’m not just gonna tell you about the good things, cause there’s been some bad things too.

First, I’ve bought two pairs of boots from them over the last couple of years. They ain’t cheap, each over $300. The first time I wore them, the sole ripped away from the rest of the boot after only two matches. Luckily, the manufacturer refunded me. Then I got a second pair, same size as always, but they were so tight that I got massive blisters on my Achilles within minutes of running around on them. I know you gotta break in new shoes, but this was ridiculous. And when I tried to return them, Pro Direct basically told me I was stuck with them cause I’d already worn them for like 15 minutes. That’s rubbish. If I hadn’t tried them on and run around a bit, how would I know they were gonna hurt that bad? And they ain’t even the right size, they’re smaller than other shoes I wear that are the same size. Pro Direct don’t care though, they’d rather lose a customer than try to find a solution.

But here’s the thing, Pro Direct Soccer ain’t all bad. They’ve got some great products and their website is easy to use. And when I bought a pair of boots that actually worked for me, they were super comfortable and lasted a long time. Plus, they’ve got a good selection of gear for all sorts of sports, not just soccer.

So, my advice? Be careful. Pro Direct Soccer might have some good stuff, but they’re not gonna go out of their way to help you if things go wrong. Make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into and don’t rely on their customer service to bail you out if anything goes wrong.

I recently made an order with Pro Direct Soccer that left me feeling extremely dissatisfied with their service. My U12's football teams' order worth ?585 has been delayed for more than a month, and I have only received one pair of shorts worth ?13. I have reached out to Pro Direct representatives to enquire about the status of my order, but all their excuses revolve around their new system.

Ten days ago, I requested a refund, but I am yet to receive any sign of it. I have called the customer service number three times and spoken to Charlie, Amy, and Petra, who all gave me different explanations for the delay. To make matters worse, it usually takes 20-30 minutes for them to answer the phone. I also sent an email through their official complaint portal, but I have received no response yet.

My attempts to contact Pro Direct Soccer through Twitter have also been futile. The worst part is that now that I haven't received my refund, I can't buy the football kits from another seller since Pro Direct Soccer still has my money.

I would say that Pro Direct Soccer is the worst company I have ever dealt with; it's like they've stolen my U12's team money. I've already informed the other teams in our club not to deal with them. If I don't get my refund in the next few days, I will have to take legal action against them. Sadly, the team's community account funds are the ones in question.

Pro Direct Soccer should look into this matter and take accountability for their incompetence. If someone from Pro Direct is reading this, I implore you to give me a call on ***2444 and address my concerns.

My experience with Pro:Direct Soccer was not a great one, as a first time customer. I placed my order on the 24th of November and specifically requested click and collect to a local store. However, I received a message on the 27th stating that my delivery would be changed to my home address on the 29th, without my consent. I was left without any explanation as to why.

On the day of delivery, I received a text at 12:05pm saying that the PDS delivery driver was on their way and would arrive by 12:32pm. Yet, less than a minute later, I received another text saying "Sorry we missed you. We will try again tomorrow?" It seemed suspicious to me since I was at home during the whole time. I contacted PDS and was promised that my complaint would be passed on to the Transit team, but I have not received any further communication or delivery attempts.

The communication from this company has been very poor, and it is frustrating since my order was meant to be a birthday gift for my son, who has been disappointed waiting day after day. I specifically requested click and collect to avoid such issues but still, this has ended up in a mess. I paid significant delivery fees, and yet my delivery was not even attempted as promised. It is not right.

To make matters worse, there is no way to speak to anyone directly, as the phone lines are indefinitely closed due to COVID. The only way to contact them is through email, which is slow and frustrating, as their agents keep fobbing me off.

In conclusion, my experience with Pro:Direct Soccer has been very disappointing. I am only writing this review as a last resort to speed up the resolution of my issue. If you are from PDS and are reading this, please consider how you treat your customers.

My experience with Pro:Direct Soccer left me deeply disappointed. I pre-ordered the limited edition adidas Copa70 boots in advance and received an order number. After checking the website to find that the boots were available in the size I wanted, I assumed that my order would be honored. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Several days after I should have received my order, there was no sign of my boots and no email explaining why.

I sent a request asking what had happened and received a reply telling me that my order had been canceled due to a lack of stock. While I appreciated the refund, I was frustrated by the lack of communication and felt that I had missed out on the chance to own the limited edition boots that I collect. When I asked Pro:Direct Soccer how they would like to rectify their error, they did nothing except offer me free postage on my next order, an offer that was irrelevant to me as I had no intention of placing another order with them.

When I called again to speak to someone about the situation, the customer service representative seemed untrained in how to speak to a customer and was unable to provide a solution to the error. It was a deeply frustrating and disappointing experience, and I would not recommend relying on Pro:Direct Soccer to honor orders. In the future, I will choose to go directly to the manufacturer or a third-party supplier who can offer better customer service.

I recently had an experience with Pro:Direct Soccer that left me feeling rather frustrated and disappointed. To start, I placed an order for a pair of boots last week that were supposed to arrive on Saturday. However, when I didn't receive my order on the expected delivery date, I decided to give them a call to see what was going on.

Upon calling, I was told that the boots I ordered were not in stock and that I would have to wait for a refund, and then pay for a second pair that would arrive on Tuesday. This already felt like a hassle, but I went through with it anyways since I really needed the boots. Then, on Tuesday, I called them again to ask about my order only to find out that those boots were also out of stock due to a "system error".

At this point, I was asked to pay for yet another pair of boots which was frustrating considering that the previous payments had already been taken out of my account. And to make it even worse, they told me that I had to pick a different pair since they had sent my reserved pair to somebody else by mistake; keep in mind that these boots were for a 7 year old child.

Throughout my conversations with the customer service team, I spoke to 4 different people who all told me different things. I was kept on hold for a total of 40 minutes while they tried to figure things out. It was very frustrating and made me feel like they didn't really know how to handle the situation.

Eventually, I was told that the warehouse doesn't actually stock the boots that are showing as available on the website, they just make it seem like they have them to avoid empty spaces. I was also told that they couldn't guarantee when my order would actually arrive.

It's unfortunate that my experience with this company was so negative. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking to purchase anything for Christmas, as it seems like it would be a recipe for disaster. It was clear that there was a lack of communication and organization on their part which made things extremely difficult for me.

In the end, they told me that my order might arrive on Thursday, but they couldn't even guarantee that. The worst part is that they didn't seem to be able to offer me a solution or a guarantee that my boots would actually arrive in time. I was even denied the option to speak with a manager. I eventually got off the phone and was advised to send an email to make a complaint and get help, but I wasn't even sure where to start.

Overall, I would say that my experience with Pro:Direct Soccer was not a positive one. I hope they can improve their services in the future to avoid these kinds of issues from happening again.

I gotta say, the selection of soccer boots on Pro:Direct Soccer is the bomb! Seriously, they have some styles that are impossible to find anywhere else. That's why I was so stoked to put in an order for three pairs of boots via their website, prodirectsoccer.com/us. I used my Visa to pay, but then got an email saying my order was declined because of a wrong mailing address. Super weird because my address was totally correct in my account. But whatever, I gave them another shot and used PayPal this time, only to get the same email saying my card was declined AGAIN because of an address problem. But here's the thing, I didn't even use a card! So I emailed their customer support at ***@prodirectsport.com to see what was up, and the response I got was seriously confusing, like, what were they even talking about? Check it out for yourself:

"Unfortunately due to the high amount of orders placed using fraudulent bank cards online, our bank has requested that we take extra care whilst dealing with orders that follow a particular pattern/scenario, this includes the following: (blah blah blah)"

Honestly, I had no idea what they were trying to say. So I called the UK customer service line at ***020 and talked to a guy named James. I explained my problem, but he couldn't find my order and kept calling me different names. Like, okay, rude much? And to top it all off, he hung up on me!

But I really wanted those boots, so I gave it one last shot and tried to place my order again. But this time, the boots I wanted weren't even showing up on the site, no matter what filters I used. So I cleared my browsing history and cookies, just to see what would happen, and guess what? The search results were different, and the boots were now being offered at way lower prices! My original order was over $400, but this time it was $275. I was psyched, and used PayPal to pay once more. But then, just like before, I got an email saying my card was declined because of an address mix-up.

Overall, I'd say the selection on Pro:Direct Soccer is dope, but their website and customer service needs serious work. They seriously messed up my order, and their email response was confusing as hell. But, if you're willing to put up with the hassle, you might be able to score some major discounts just by clearing your browser history!

I recently ordered two rugby boots from Pro:Direct Soccer, but unfortunately, only one was dispatched. I immediately contacted their customer service team via email to raise the issue and was disappointed with their unprofessional behavior. In my opinion, their customer service is so bad that they should change their name to "Amateur Direct Rugby".

The customer representative who responded to my initial email provided a blurry reply that wasn't helpful at all. After clarifying the issue, they said that the other boot would be dispatched soon and I would receive a confirmation email once it was sent. However, a week passed and I didn't hear anything from them. I sent a few more emails but didn't get a response, so I also messaged them through their Facebook page and even tried calling them via Skype. Unfortunately, I still didn't receive any answers.

It was as though they were avoiding my emails and messages. It felt like a frustrating game of cat and mouse. I had to turn to the review page to get a response, and eventually, I got a response from a customer service representative named Jai. Jai apologized repeatedly and promised to investigate. I told Jai about the urgency of the order since it was a gift for my child, and I was flying back to Australia for Christmas.

Jai's response was not encouraging. They could not find the product in their stock, even though their system showed it was available. Jai had to cancel the order and proceed with a refund. This process may take up to 15 business days. I asked for compensation for all the inconvenience and hassle, but was told that they could not offer me any more compensation.

To make matters worse, the senior manager, Sharon, had bad writing skills, making it almost impossible to understand their response. It seemed as if they did not care about their customers at all. I feel that Pro:Direct Soccer is a scam. If they don't have the product in stock, they should not accept the order. It seems like they want to hold our money for as long as possible.

All in all, my experience with Pro:Direct Soccer was terrible. Their customer service is incompetent, and they do not care about customers. I would not recommend them to anyone. Instead, I would suggest Lovell Rugby, a competent reseller with excellent customer service. Don't waste your time with Pro:Direct Soccer.

I gotta say, I ain't too happy with Pro:Direct Soccer right now. My boy ordered some soccer cleats last night and we thought everything went smoothly. They sent a confirmation email with an order number and the money was immediately taken out of our bank account. But then, a few minutes later, they sent another email saying the card was declined and they couldn't process the order.

I called up the bank to see what was going on and they said the transaction went through just fine on their end. So what gives, Pro:Direct Soccer? Why you gotta be playing games like this? We ended up having to shut down the card to make sure there wasn't any more shady business going on.

I ain't the type to just sit back and take this kind of nonsense, so I'm definitely gonna be telling the Better Business Bureau and Google about this. They need to know about this fraudulent behavior before anyone else gets ripped off. Stay away from Pro:Direct Soccer, folks. They ain't worth the trouble.

I'm extremely disappointed with Pro:Direct Soccer. I can honestly say that I've never had a worse experience shopping online. I had ordered a pair of football shoes for a friend in India, but the process has been a complete disaster. Firstly, the delivery is taking forever, and the customer service has been rude and unhelpful every time I've tried to contact them.

One of the biggest issues is that I had requested that they add an Indian number to make communication easier with the courier service, but they blatantly ignored my request. This has caused the package to be held at customs. The response I received from the customer service team was simply unacceptable. They told me that it's not their responsibility, even though it's clearly their fault that the package has been held up.

What's worse is that I have now found out that there are hefty customs fees to be paid, which are almost as much as the price of the shoes themselves. How was I supposed to know about these fees? The website never mentioned anything about customs or duties when I was placing the order. The fact that I have to pay such an exorbitant amount for a gift that I'm sending to someone in India is ridiculous. It defeats the whole purpose of gifting someone something if they have to pay for it themselves.

I'm not going to spend this kind of money on a gift, especially when I'm in the US, and the package is going to India. I don't want to make a fool of myself or others, and I refuse to pay such outrageous fees. I want to return the shoes and get a refund. I'm going to make sure that I get my money back, and I'll be telling everyone about this horrendous experience.

Just recently, I decided to purchase a brand new pair of football boots from Pro:Direct Soccer. I chose to pay for my order in full using direct debit, as it seemed like the most convenient option for me.

However, my excitement for these new boots was quickly dampened when I received an email from Pro:Direct Soccer, informing me that my order had been cancelled due to "security concerns". They also requested for me to provide additional information, such as a copy of my bank statement and credit card, or to pay for the order again using a bank transfer to a specified account.

Naturally, I was quite alarmed by this email - I had never ordered anything from Pro:Direct Soccer before, and had already paid for my order using direct debit. I suspected it might be some sort of scam, so I decided to call their customer services department to find out what was going on.

To my dismay, I was told that the information they requested was indeed necessary, and that my order would not be fulfilled until it was provided. However, I was not comfortable sending such sensitive information through an unsecured medium like email, and I certainly wasn't going to pay for my order again.

Despite having paid for my order in full, Pro:Direct Soccer cancelled it anyways, and now I have to wait for my refund to be processed. Unfortunately, this means that I won't be able to order any more boots until I receive my refund - and since these boots were intended as a Christmas present, time is of the essence.

Honestly, I am extremely disappointed with the way Pro:Direct Soccer has treated me. I feel like I've been treated unfairly, and I don't think I'll be ordering anything from them ever again. In fact, I plan to tell everyone I know about my experience and warn them against shopping with Pro:Direct Soccer.

I just recently placed an order for a pair of football boots and I was a bit worried about the sizing, so I went ahead and ordered two different sizes just to be safe. My son tried on the smaller pair and they seemed to fit alright, but when we tried on the other pair, they were too big. We thought it would be no big deal to return the second pair for a refund.

However, when we sent the boots back, we were shocked to find out that we wouldn't be getting a refund because the boots showed signs of wear on the soleplate and studs. We were shocked! They sent us photos that were not even of the boots we had returned. Of course, we had to argue our case and they told us that we could explain ourselves via email.

We tried explaining that our son had only tried them on for size inside on a rug, and not outside on the field, but the customer service agent wouldn't have it. They said that management reviewed the call and that was not the case. We do not want the boots returned to us, we simply want our refund, but they are not willing to give it to us.

It is really disappointing to see such behavior from a company that we trusted. I caution everyone to steer clear of this company to avoid getting ripped off like we did.

Prodirecsoccer website is, in my opinion, a stark example of poor service. My experience with the website was as bad as it could get. Firstly, I faced the inconvenience of being charged twice, which was a major problem for me. I wanted to get the boot delivered to the right address, which was Vietnam, but instead it got delivered to Germany. I understand that sometimes mistakes can happen, but the way a company handles it determines whether it's a good or bad company.

To make matters worse, when they received the boots back from Germany, they decided to ship them via standard shipping, even though I had paid extra for express shipping, which gives me the ability to track the progress of my package with all details in real time. They could have easily selected a courier for express shipping. This meant that I had to wait for at least another month. Adding insult to injury, when I requested a refund, they refused to accept it unless I waited for another month for the boots to arrive. In total, I would have to wait for a total of at least 2 more months for the refund to be realized. They could have easily asked the courier service to cancel the shipping but they chose not to.

Moreover, every time I spoke to customer service officers, they gave me different information and had a bad attitude, which left me with the impression that they didn't care about customer satisfaction. This was compounded by the fact that the phone fee alone is more than 1/3 of the price of the boots.

In conclusion, my advice to everyone is to avoid buying from prodirectsoccer.com and instead buy directly from Nike or Adidas stores. The discounts that prodirectsoccer might offer are not worth the headache you'd experience using their service.

So, I recently had an experience with Pro Direct Soccer (prodirectsoccer.com) and I want to caution any new customers or those who are looking to shop with them. While the website may seem enticing, there are some major drawbacks that you should be aware of.

Firstly, don't expect to receive your parcel in a timely manner. The shipping is quite slow and you might end up waiting much longer than you expected. Secondly, there is a high possibility that you will receive the wrong items or some items might not even be included in your parcel. And lastly, their customer service is not helpful when it comes to resolving issues with your order. They are not willing to help you out and won't provide you with any clear information.

Let me tell you about my personal experience. I made an order on 23rd October 2017 and it consisted of 23 pairs of boots. However, on 17th November 2017, I received only 11 pairs and that too after wasting almost 5-6 days just waiting for the shipment. Naturally, I contacted the customer service to inquire about the missing items. However, 7th December 2017 has arrived and I still haven't received the full order, nor have I gotten any satisfactory response from the seller.

This has been a complete disaster for me in many ways. First, I lost almost 2 months being kept waiting. Second, I lost about $500. Third, my reputation was dented as some of the items were meant for my teammates. And finally, I completely lost my patience and temper.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend shopping with Pro Direct Soccer again. In fact, I would advise everyone else to stay away from them. There are better and safer places to get soccer equipment, jerseys, boots and anything else you may need. I found a cheaper and safer option and if you're interested, feel free to message me.

In conclusion, please be careful when shopping online. While the websites might seem trustworthy and tempting, you never know what will happen until you try it yourself.

I recently made a purchase on prodirectsoccer.com and unfortunately, I had a less than satisfactory experience. I bought a pair of Nike Tiempo Legend VII's and was disappointed to find out they ran a little bit small for my feet. As soon as I received the shoes, I tried them on and they were far too tight for my liking. I decided to return them for a larger size.

However, upon returning the cleats to exchange for a bigger size, I received an email from Pro Direct Soccer notifying me that the original pair could not be exchanged due to the slightest wear and tear generated from briefly running on an indoor turf before making a final judgement call that they were too small. Although technically Pro Direct was within their right according to their terms and conditions, I was still unhappy with their decision. I emailed them back, defending my case and even asked for someone to speak with over the phone. To my surprise, they do not offer customer support over the phone in the U.S. and they were not interested in hearing anything else I had to say.

To be honest, I was extremely unimpressed with their customer service. In comparison, I have had a similar situation with Soccer.com and they exchanged my returned cleats without any issue. I have found their customer service to be much better and highly recommend them.

If Soccer.com had the cleats and size I was looking for, I would have never used Pro Direct Soccer in the first place. One thing is for sure, I will never shop with Pro Direct Soccer again. It is a shame that their customer service was not as helpful as it could have been. I hope they improve their customer service in the future as it is an important aspect of running a successful business.

I've been shopping at Pro:Direct Soccer for a solid decade and a half now and for the most part, my experience has been pretty amazing. However, as they say, the good always comes with the bad, and unfortunately I had a pretty unpleasant experience recently.

I placed an order for a jacket through Pro:Direct Soccer's website and received it without any problems. A week passed and I figured why not treat myself to a new pair of boots? Seemed like a good idea at the time, and since I was already familiar with PDS's payment and shipping process, it should have been a breeze. Boy was I wrong!

After confirming my order for the boots, I waited for a confirmation email - nothing received. Days passed and still no shipment confirmation either. So I emailed PDS to inquire about what was happening with my order. That's when I found out that my order had somehow been cancelled! I was in shock as I had not received any email notification or any form of communication indicating such an issue with my order.

At this point, I was beyond frustrated, but things only got worse. To make matters worse, I received an email from their business protection department, asking for me to prove my identity/pay via bank deposit to lift the suspension on my account. While I do understand the need for heightened security measures, as it is rampant nowadays, it was frustrating to have so much inconvenience piled on top of the original problem.

Even after I provided proof of my identity, I was still up for a huge disappointment. As it turns out, the boots I had tried so hard to order were actually out of stock for an indefinite period of time! The whole sequence of events was illogical and unusual, and to add more fuel to the fire, it felt like the warning signs were there right from the start. The photos of the boots mysteriously changed after about a week of being online, and this was quite strange, to say the least.

Overall, my recent experience was not the best at all, and while I am not exactly sure what went wrong, I was left very disappointed. The boots I wanted were out of stock, and the delays in the cancellation and order complications meant that I couldn't even buy what I wanted even if I tried to go through the necessary channels. I hope that my experience is an exception and not a rule, but since it happened to me, I feel it only fair to bring it up and share it publicly.

I gotta say, my experience with Pro:Direct Soccer's website has been a bit of a roller coaster ride. I ordered a pair of soccer boots (Pantofola, if you're curious) on August 19, 2018. Got a confirmation email saying they'd been sent out… and then radio silence. No tracking number, no updates on the website. Zilch.

I've sent a few emails and made a number of calls, but it feels like I'm shouting into a void. It's frustrating to have to jump through hoops when I've already given them my money (not to mention the long distance charges from Singapore). I've been put on hold for ages and don't get me started on the hold music.

All this being said, I've bought from Pro:Direct Soccer before and it was a different story - my previous orders arrived promptly and without issue. Maybe they're just having some growing pains? But regardless, I hope they step up their game in the future.

On the plus side, the website itself is pretty easy to navigate. They've got a good selection of products and some solid sales. If they can improve their customer service, they'd be an easy go-to for online soccer shopping.

Anyway, it's been a frustrating experience and I don't think I'll be ordering from them again unless things change. But fingers crossed they can turn things around!

Pro:Direct Soccer is not a great option when it comes to online shopping. Personally, I had a terrible experience with them. It was Christmas day when I had received the wrong item from them. The first email that I sent them had no response at all. It took a few days until they offered to have it replaced but I had to foot the bill for the return shipping. Obviously, this was their fault so I declined. Later on, they provided me with a prepaid shipping label.

It was already mid-January when I got a notice that they had processed my return/exchange and that my replaced item had already been dispatched. However, that replacement item never arrived. I reached out to them again but they only told me that the item they had sent me was already out of stock. How can they send it when it was already out of stock!?!#

It was so frustrating dealing with them that at this point, I just wanted to cancel the order and be done with it. But they timidly offered me to replace my original item with a comparable one. I agreed to this but it wasn't easy. I had to place a new order for the same item, they will discount it by only 10%, and then after the shipment, they will cancel the original order. That's a lot of work and I can't imagine what else could have gone wrong if I continued with their service.

After forty long days, I still didn't have the item that I ordered. I was so exhausted with all the trouble that I decided to cancel the original order and take my business to another store.

My conclusion? Avoid dealing with Pro:Direct Soccer and save yourself the hassle. There are many better options out there that won't cause you this much trouble.
