They sent me the wrong rocket. For a week now, they've been texting me every day at 4pm saying they sent me a label to return it. Yeah, but there's no label. And I text them that there's no label, and the next day they text me again that they sent it to me.

If the size is not right, you have to pay for shipping costs yourself.

I paid for lighter racket, and my friend did the same thing last week with metalbone. He got a paper with average weight and his racket is ligther then median. In my case, you just measured my racket and it is 365g, and that is heavier than average, which you didnt even measure. I am not happy with this order, and I had great experience with you before, and told my friends about you.

Dear Victor, I am writing to follow up on my previous messages, as I have already responded to your email and contacted your support several times—both via email and through your website—without receiving any proper assistance or resolution. Due to the delivery issue caused by your carrier, I was unable to receive the parcel, and despite my attempts to communicate this, I received no effective help. I find this level of service highly disappointing. Given that the product was returned to your warehouse and I no longer wish to proceed with the order, I hereby request a full refund of the purchase amount. In accordance with Article 18 of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, I am granting you a 14-day deadline from the date of this email—until November 24, 2025—to process and return the full payment to the original payment method. Should this deadline pass without refund, I will have to consider further steps to enforce my consumer rights. Please confirm receipt of this message and provide written confirmation of the refund process. Kind regards, Shayan N.

Ordered an Adidas METALBONE hrd 2025 paddle. If I hadn't asked when it would be shipped, I wouldn't have known that it was no longer available and they wanted to provide an Adidas metalbone 2025 paddle and a free shirt. I wrote several times that I was not interested asking for a refund of the first installment.

I ordered the Adidas crazyquick boost and they sent me a different, much cheaper model. I asked to return the shoes and send me the correct model, but after almost 2 weeks of waiting, they do not respond. Terrible experience. Scandalous and poor customer service.

I purchased a racket from this store. The shipping was smooth and without any issues. Unfortunately, the racket cracked after the very first game, and I also noticed that its weight was unusually high—419 g, which is much more than expected. When I reported these problems, customer support informed me that they were waiting for a response from the manufacturer regarding the crack. However, for the weight issue, I was initially told it was impossible. After I provided video proof, I stopped receiving replies. I have not received any information about whether this matter is being investigated or if any process has been started. It has now been almost two months without any update or proposed solution. In my opinion, when a product is defective, the seller should resolve the issue directly with the customer and then follow up with the manufacturer afterward.

The weight on the racket is not the same as on the site
Translated reviews
Response from Padel Reference
Hello Adrien,

We apologize for this inconvenience.
Indeed, the weight indicated on our site corresponds to the average weight provided by the brand, but it can vary by +/- 10 g depending on the models.
We have implemented a feature allowing you to choose the weight of your racket (heavier, lighter, or with a median weight).

When you buy a racket advertised at 355g and it's actually 374g. I wanted this snowshoe to be more maneuverable, but it's not. On the other hand, it has excellent vibration absorption.

Response from Padel Reference
Hello Raymond,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
Brands announce weights for their rackets that can vary +/- 10 grams.
That's why we've developed a new service that lets you choose the weight of your racket for more power, maneuverability or something in between.
You can also contact us to find out what weights are available before you place your order, so that our order pickers can choose the racquet that's right for you.

Best regards,

The Padel Reference team

Wilson Pro Bela V2 2023 racquet that has kept its performance only a few matches. The racquet is not quality. It is really frustrating for a racquet at almost 200euros. I've asked for an exchange for another racket and I'm waiting for their reply. Very disappointed.

Response from Padel Reference
Hello Steven,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your racquet. My colleague has emailed you back and, as stated in our terms of use, it is unfortunately not possible for us to make an exchange once the racquet has been used.

We remain at your disposal should you require advice on other snowshoe models. Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully

I received my racket on time, but the grip ripped off when I removed the packaging, probably because it had been overheated. I sent an e-mail with photos and asking for a commercial gesture in the hope of getting a new grip, but there was no reply to my e-mail. After-sales service leaves a lot to be desired, I'm disappointed with the site.

I paid for express delivery between 24/48h and I didn't receive the parcel until after 72h, and on contacting the after-sales service I received no reply and I think the message wasn't even received by the after-sales service because of a computer bug on the site. Bad shopping experience

Hello Oussama,

We apologize for the inconvenience.
My colleague has replied to your e-mail, so it's possible that his reply is in your spam folder.

Unfortunately, once the parcel has been picked up by the carrier, we cannot influence delivery times, which may be longer than expected.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

Racket received with a blow that I would like to keep because it is out of stock ... I am asked to send it back for expertise by the brand ...

Response from Padel Reference
Hello Adrien,

Indeed, brands sometimes ask you to return damaged rackets. If they deem it to be a manufacturing defect, they will send you a new racquet as a replacement.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Hello Valantis,

Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry about the inconvenience.
I just checked with your tracking number, it says that they try to deliver the parcel today but you were not available.
Unfortunately once we send the package, we can't do anything about the delivery time and sometime it takes more time to arrive.
Can you write an email to our customer service with the reference number of your order, fist name and last name so they can look into the issue?
