Total sports will eventually go out of business due to lack of service and broken telephones!

You don't even deserve 1 star. I will try shorten the story: I have been wanting to order a real Madrid blue and white (galaxy) jersey for sometime now and especially for Christmas. I wanted to order online but wanted to find out the delivery date as I need it before Christmas. After 20 MINUTES and no answer I decided to call the stores. I called mall of Africa, Boulders, Fourways... No one answered. After finally getting through to Sandton, Joaf, he said that deliveries after 18th won't be delivered before Christmas but there was one shirt at total sports Pretoria... He could have it delivered at mall of Africa who was close to me and he would get back to me. No one got back to me. I called them again and some lazy lady said, I need to go to mall of Africa, ask them to phone Sandton, get the order for me, I can go back home, wait for them to call me to go back and fetch it when it's there. (So I spend more money traveling, ordering it and fetching it???) Then I phone Greenstone, who said I must phone Eastgate or Fourways to check if they had stock.... Why did I have to ask him to check on his system?? He eventually said Fourways who I typically.. Couldn't get hold of.. Of course. During these times you would expect stores to appreciate any customers willing to buy their pricey merchandise and provide a great customer service. I didn't even get good service.... I got lazy, rude, good for nothing people who clearly don't want to help customers unless they have to and telephones are clearly a decoration in stores. I was really looking forward to giving this to my boyfriend, shopping at total sports in future for real Madrid gear and being a first time customer but now I've had to spend that money I saved to order something else from takealot who is clearly more reliable but doesn't have the product I really wanted. Clearly this will be the last time I ever deal with total sports and maybe sportsman's wear house can provide a service we need. If you ever go out of business, take a look at this complaint and you will know why.

Good morning Genevieve, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We value this feedback so that we can look at ways to improve. 

Unfortunately yes, you had missed the deadline for online orders (this with midnight on 17 December). We have shared your feedback regarding the store staff with the respective Area Managers to look into further & provide feedback.

If I missed the deadline, maybe someone should consider highlighting the deadline next time on your website since you spend so much money having your advertising on everywhere. Not much of a solution to me now is it.

The banner is still currently up on our website Genevieve - it's the first thing on our site, and the deadline was also communicated via our social media channels. We understand that this is not a solution for you, however the team are still looking into the store query & will provide feedback. Your reference number: RM286085

Handy tip. Put the notice up when someone is checking out. Besides that I was assisted by an amazing woman named Theo. I will be writing a separate review for her amazing assistance.
