NHLSHOP.com Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from service delays, difficulties with order cancellations, and inadequate support. Many customers report receiving incorrect or damaged items, compounded by a convoluted return process that often incurs additional costs. While there are isolated instances of positive customer service experiences, these are overshadowed by the overall negative sentiment regarding responsiveness and reliability. The feedback suggests a pressing need for improved communication, clearer policies, and a more efficient fulfillment process to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

Blues jersey
May 2, 2019

The people at NHL shop have no consideration for those whom they accept money from. I ordered a blues jersey - and after speaking to someone on the phone he assured me that the jersey name would read O'REILLY instead of OREILLY. The jersey that I got had the name spelled incorrectly - and instead of fixing it they basically shrugged me off and, in other words, told me to deal with it. Had I known that they would refuse to add a simple goddamn apostrophe on my jersey I would have spent more money elsewhere to have my favorite player's name spelled right. These people are a joke.

Never again
March 14, 2019

From now on I would rather (and plan to) buy fakes from China than EVER order from these scam artists again. Latest issue w them is I ordered "next day delivery" for an extra $25... Item arrived 7 days later. Their excuse? "Well, there's a tiny fine print that states we have three business days to actually ship it, so "next day delivery" means you'll get it the day after we decide to send it". NEVER AGAIN.

Ridiculous
March 13, 2019

Item on website shows it will ship in 4 business days. Item on receipt after order shows it will ship within 4 business days. Item shipped 3 weeks later with another week for it to arrive. Ridiculous. Eleven year old son saved up his money to purchase a hoodie and it is now 13 days later and it finally has been dropped off at FedEx. He may not get to wear it to a game.

Buy elsewhere
March 7, 2019

Order a St. Patrick's day shirt that was in-stock on Feb 22nd. It was guaranteed to ship by March 1 which I figured was more than enough time to have it in time for March 17th. Over 3 weeks - everything should be fine right? I reached out today - March 7th - as I had not heard or received anything. Now they are saying it is back ordered and it will ship on March 13th and that I will not have it in time for St. Patrick's day. Very frustrating. Just ordered a different shirt from Amazon. It's guaranteed to arrive in 2 days and I believe them.

Shipping is Horrible!
February 22, 2019

I ordered 2 items on a Tuesday for an event on Sunday. I selected 2 day shipping expecting to get them on Thursday. The first email said 1 item will be delivered on Monday, SIX days later & 1 day AFTER the event I needed it for, the second email said the other item would be delivered on Friday, THREE days after the order, guess what? NO ITEM DELIVERED. When I called customer service, they got mad at ME because I asked they WHY they had a 2 day shipping option when clearly they couldn't deliver on it.

Slowest Shipping Ever!
February 16, 2019

Other then purchasing an item from out of the country, I have never dealt with a slower shipping service. Everything I have ordered takes several weeks for delivery, and is usually after their estimated delivery time. Don't think about ordering a jersey or something for a sporting event you want to attend unless the event is at least 1 month out.

Contacted the BBB
February 12, 2019

Ordered a jersey, got confirmation email. Was told it would ship in 3 business days. They take my payment. Get email over a week later, can't get info from warehouse. Go online to chat agent, assures me the jersey had shipped and I'm just not receiving shipping updates. Next day, get an email. They legit cancelled my order and said it's now out of stock. Call them up to see what's going on. I'm told the system sells faster than their inventory can track so they can't do anything for me. I ask why they told me it shipped already then? She doesn't know, can off me 10% off a different jersey though. What a joke. I've contacted the BBB and will be happy to speak to the media about this, clearly I am not the only one to experience this. This company is an embarrassment and a scam. Everyone, flood the better business bureau with your experiences so we can get this garbage site shut down!

After waiting over 2 weeks for the item. The item was not delivered and returned to shop. I asked why, no explanation and no item. I am told will be 2-7 days for refund. I didn't cancel the order but being told the order is canceled. I will be watching for this refund.

The people behind this web site have no idea of what they are doing. I ordered a jersey that they said was in stock and would be send the next day. When I called them a week later they told me it is longer for custom made jerseys (which it wasn't). They had no idea when it would be send, so I told them to cancel it. I then bought a jersey at Canadian Tire.

10 minutes later I received an email that my merchandise had shipped! When I called them back, all they would say was that my order had been shipped, and could no longer be cancelled. Of course, I could send it back, but I would have to pay all the shipping.

I do not understand that a large organisation like the NHL wants to be associated with this crap organisation. This is a rip-off.

Before you purchase from NHL.com, please know if you purchase from this company, although the site says free shipping and returns for purchases over 25.00, they charge 5.50 to send any items back to them.

Misspelled Custom Jersey
January 16, 2019

I spent $180 on a custom jersey where they misspelled my name (3 letters short). They told me I should have noticed on the checkout screen. I know how my last name is spelt, and I'm sure it was correct. They told me since it's a custom item I was out of luck, and should buy another one! They never sent me a confirmation email, when I called two days later, the confirmation email did not have the custom information, only size and model. This ecommerce site is an embarrassment to NHL.com and should be taken down. No wonder people go to knock-off sites instead of buying genuine merchandise.

$#*!ty $#*! website

Never got a confirmation email for what I ordered, placed on December 25th, still haven't gotten anything. Glad I wasted $70 on something I'll probably never get.

Absolute run around!
January 9, 2019

Bought a hoodie for brother for Christmas, ordered it on the 26th of November. It's now January 8th and still no hoodie not even a shipping date. I've called at least 5 times and get the same BS each time that all they can do is send a message to the manufacturer! How many messages have to be sent before something is done?! If someone took my money and didn't give me what I paid for within 2 months I feel that's just stealing! I know I won't be shopping here again

Awful
January 8, 2019

I ordered a hoodie that I paid $55 for. It was not at all how it was shown in the picture. The print is MUCH smaller. I am 5'1 and 115 lbs and the sweatshirt is a size medium, so I would hate to know how stupid it looks on a bigger sweatshirt.

I spent over $250.00 on a jersey with a PLAYERS name on it. All I wanted was to exchange for a different size and they said NO! I have spent so much money with this company in this past. I will never spend another dime with them and make sure anyone I remotely even speak about Hockey to will know my experience. Can't wait for the next Caps game to spread the word about how horrible this company is! They care not about their customers satisfaction or if you post on social media, or spread by mouth. They have your money why do they care if your happy about it because people will continue to spend? BUYERS BEWARE! A$$hats!

Horrible

Took advantage of an online sale and placed an order on dec 26th. Order was cancelled on Jan 3rd. Called customer support and he was giving me the hard sell on just ordering it again without the discount. Absolutely horrible.

Don't buy from here!
January 2, 2019

Purchased a jacket for a Christmas present on Cyber-Monday, Nov 26th. Received it on Dec 3rd and gave it to my son on Christmas. Size was too small so I checked the return policy and it said returns can be made within "30 days from receipt of goods". In this case, Jan 3rd. Tried to get through on Dec 26th and 27th, finally getting through on Dec 28th. I was told it would not be a problem and I would get a return label sent to my email. Called back on Jan 2nd and was told that "Upon further review, the return was outside the allowed window" and they would not accept it. I quoted them their policy as I read it from the site and was told there was nothing they could do. I asked for contact information for the manufacturer and was told they did not have it. Complete joke! I am now stuck with an $100 jacket that will never be worn. I will never shop here again!

"Guaranteed Delivery"
December 26, 2018

I ordered a jersey for Christmas on 12/15/18. The online website guaranteed delivery by Christmas or the product was free. After receiving a shipping confirmation email on 12/22 and the package failed to arrive after 12/25, I contacted FedEx who stated that they had never received the package. After waiting an hour and a half to reach a NHL customer service representative, I was told that the guarantee is not for items that have never been shipped out in the first place. NHL did offer a refund and a 20% discount as the item was out of stock, but it would have been more appropriate to replace the item for free or provide a credit, as per the guarantee.
