JJB Sports (Shop)

Advantages: Good selection
Disadvantages: Terrible service, Packaging may be lost/incomplete

JJB Sports....a shop I thought I could trust for a bargain and straightforward, hassle free service....now I'm disillusioned. I've shopped at JJB sports a number of times in the past. I've bought a number of squash racquets from them at what seemed good prices, picked up various articles of clothing, and found some bargain shoes. Their stores are typically out-of-town 'bargain barns' and though I have visited city centre branches in Glasgow, this ...
...the site to use for JJB Sports...though you cannot buy online and the online catalogues are pretty sparse (Gym equipment, Basketball equipment or Table tennis gear *only*). Having travelled a couple of junctions along the M4, I found the selection of around 12 badminton racquets fairly easily and was able to select one that I thoughth would suit me. I checked with a nearby assistant who was stacking shelves, and confirmed that a cover would be provided ... Read review

Advantages: Usually a well stocked store
Disadvantages: Appalling customer service

...bought a basketball hoop from JJB Sports for £200. They were offering interest free credit on purchases this size and although I did not particularly need the credit I thought as it was there I would take advantage of it. I paid £20 deposit and needed to pay the rest by direct debit – 6 payments of £30. I have never ever regretted a decision involving buying any goods as much as I have done this one. First off the credit agreement is administered ...
...think you are dealing with JJB Sports who are a reputable company. Do not make that mistake. If anything goes wrong JJB Sports through their Wigan office just do not want to know. The problem I had initially was that within weeks of setting up the direct debit payment I got a letter demanding £1100 or I would be taken to court. After many frustrating telephone calls they eventually and very casually admitted it was all a mistake. What troubled ... Read review

Advantages: Many branches, lots of different sports.
Disadvantages: hardly open or out of stock

JJB JJB is from the creator of JJB MR. J.J. Broughton and it sells all the sports things i need.(provided they are in stock)In the world of sport shops JJB Sports is no way the top shop it is around second or third. im writing on it because i use it the most. What it sells Ah ha the gold mine what it sells is the most important factor of any shop bar price. JJB sells most things you would want for the more "common sports" such as football, rugby,tennis,hockey,golf,cricket ...
...£49.99 when i went into JJB they had the same ones (nike total 90 in black and gray if you must know) for £24.95 (on offer.) that shows that it is cheaper and therefore more useful. JJB sports is well set out and presented so you can easily find the things you want, the store layout where i go to is practicaly the same on every vist which i have several times a month.Making it convenient and quick. Availability Not every item is available at all ... Read review

Advantages: Large selection and Spacious
Disadvantages: Too expensive

JJB is good if you want to find out what the most you are prepared to pay for the item and then you know that you can go out and find the same product somewhere else for a lot cheaper. They have had recently a good shoe sale when you could get 20% off all footwear, so that training shoes did not work out too dear but for most other things the prices are just too high for the type of clothing that you are buying. They do however also stock a large ... Read review

Advantages: Good range, reasonable prices.
Disadvantages: Very poor customer service

...strength of a visit to JJB Sports at The Fort in Birmingham on Froday the 16th December 2005. My wife and i dropped into JJB Sports as we were passing to look for some coats for our boys and some bits for the wife as well. THE STORE The store itself was spacious, well lit and well laid out, so even a man of my girth could walk around comfortably without being trapped between racks. The racks themsleves were well marked up by brand and price range ...
...could see. PRODUCTS JJB Sports sells a good range of sports and leisure wear as well as sports and leisure equipment. There are all of the well known brands available at premium brand prices (although there were a lot on sale at the time) as well as a fair amount of unknown brands at lower prices. Overall i think that there would be generally be something for anyone that was looking for sports/leasure wear. They also carry a great range of sports ... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: none

...Went into the medowhall store the other day.I was approached by the very helpful sales assistant that advised me on the best squash racket to buy, he had excellent product knowledge and excellent customer service skills. I also had an exchange which the manager dealt with very well,he exchanged the trainers straight away and even got me the size i wanted. The range of products were excellently presented and were a lot better value for money than the other sports shops that are in the center. I bought some Adidas trainers that were twenty pound cheaper that the jjb store in the center. I would recomend this store because of the helpful staff and excellent range of products. The store is definately the best sports shop in Sheffield.... Read review

Advantages: Good Price, nice selection
Disadvantages: Not full lines of brands

...and Fila are among some of the more popular names and the apparel is all generally on for half the price that Nike World, Debenham's or JD Sports would offer. The selection on name brand items is not necessarily the best, but I would certainly check to make sure Sport Soccer does not have the item before heading into JJB's, JD, Intersport or any of the other sportswear shops. My boyfriend bought a Nike training jacket for £25 and the JJB sport across the road carried the exact style and colour for £40. The clothing items sold are not seconds, damaged items or irregular sizes they are simply past season stock or simply overstock from the main high street branches sold at discount prices. I have never questioned the quality of sportswear purchased from them, and although the street cred of carrying a Sport Soccer bag is not as high as any... Read review

...JD Sports is a sports shop but its not like most sports shops like Nike , JJB, Adidas in JD most of the clothes are not like sports clothes there more fashion clothes but they still have alot of sports stuff there.
