Best Sports & Recreation Shops in Tasmania Hobart

Not overly happy with this company. I ordered a kayak which was in stock, I waited 2 weeks for it to even be dispatched. At the 2 week mark, they… Read more

told me what I had ordered was actually out of stock. The company reached out and offered an upgrade to the next model, which was a positive outcome. I considered that even again. Upon receiving the kayak, it had 2 large dents and warps in it. I reached out to support 7 days ago and have had no response, I followed this with a second email and still have no response. I tried ringing a retail store which was underwhelming and just told me to email again.

I am now using a partially damaged kayak as I intend on using what I’ve paid for, but am still awaiting any sort of response back. This entire experience has left me confused and distrustful of their customer support. I used this company based on their positive reviews, but I am either very unlucky or these reviews are not accurate. Hopefully it’s an isolated incident. I was planning on buying a second one to match for my wife, but would not purchase here again.

Great product but odd customer service. I corresponded with [Name Removed] and stated I had brought two electra masks and one had stopped circulating… Read more

air after a few uses. I initially asked for a trouble shooting guide to see if it could be fixed my end. Instead we went back and forth with confusing emails about the size of the mask. [Name Removed] informed me it was the wrong size even though it states on the website that if you child's measurements are over 10cm then buy the s/m adult version. I replied that I had both sizes but independent of that, the product I brought was not working and what were my options.

[Name Removed] then suggested that I see how I go..... I replied I have, its not working hence my emails. Was ghosted from this point. The product when working was fantastic, my son has severe cerebral palsy and its been a great new hobby for him with the full face mask and being able to breathe without biting onto the snorkel. I have brought another one since being ghosted, but if this one fails then it will be the last.

Got the grandsons a warriors bleacherveach great shirts and quick service …Also good price.

Great platform for sales reached many potential buyer's and recieved many inquiries

Ridiculously expensive for a private seller and I got very little interest from the site. Other free platforms generated much more interest and, finally the sale. Wouldn't use again.

Great, reliable, honest ! – We ordered a signed jersey from this place. I was hesitant at first to purchase an item this valuable online however I could tell these guys were… Read more

legit. It made it even better that Emma kept me up to date and in the loop about where they were at in terms of the jersey arriving, framing and a link to the order. The final product was next level masterpiece !!!!!

Do not ever buy online from Decathlon Australia if the item is then to be managed by a third party, in this case Pertemba in the UK. Apart from the… Read more

speed with which they took funds against my credit card, this has been a disaster from the start. The item has not arrived, no-one will take responsibility, and I keep getting the same message from the 'Customer Service Team' in the UK to the effect that there is a high volume of deliveries in my area though they cannot actually tell me who is doing the 'delivery': sometimes it is a courier company and sometimes it is the 'local postal service'. It is also apparently not possible to track the item now that it is 'allegedly' in Australia. The Decathlon 'support team' which is reached through a Sydney number provides no support except to send an email to the third party retailer in the UK. Round and round in circles and getting nowhere. For transparency, I have also posted this review on another well-known review site, such is my level of frustration.

Brilliant service yet again. This store is very high quality for both product and service. I’ve bought at least 6 pairs of shoes. My latest On… Read more

Cloudflow 5. Superfast delivery from Queensland to Wollongong NSW even with a public holiday (Australia Day). I got the shoes today 4 days after purchase. Opened and put them on my feet and within minutes I was away. Great comfort for a brand new pair. Did 5 km and the shoes were trouble free. Love Wildfire sports and their quality service and product.

Great product, great service – That's to the OTG team for delivering my work shirts on-time and the service was A1. Definitely recommend. Fast, efficient and great quality

We bought a Body Glove Explorer SUP from The Surfboard Warehouse late last year and chose to drive to Tweed to pick it up. The service was excellent… Read more

and the handover was seamless.

Come Christmas, after gifting the board, we discovered a small issue and contacted the team. Within a few days they had organised a replacement and shipped it to us at no cost.

Outstanding service from start to finish. Highly recommended

I bought a set of floor mat for MV Triton on 3th of April and I still haven’t received them yet. I messaged them and apparently they sad they are… Read more

going to receive the product only on 18th of May on their warehouse and send them to me after that. I paid the express shipping to have them quicker but it is taking way too longer. I asked for the cancellation of the purchase but I haven’t heard anything from them yet. I wouldn’t recommend buy stuff from these guys at all.

I bought the Endurance - Spirit Home Treadmill in Dec 2023. It was working perfectly till March 2026. One day when I started the machine, it beeped… Read more

and stopped. I could smell some burning smell. Hence immediately turned off the power. Waited for about 48 hours and powered it on again. It would not start. I called the Endurance guys, they said I need to contact a treadmill repair. I did so and learned that the circuit board & motor had gone - burnt. After barely 3 years of moderate usage the treadmill's circuit board & motor had blowen. Cost to get the tech onsite twice and buy a new circuit board $975. The motor was in warranty so that was free. I got it repaired, but I will never again buy this brand again. Furthermore, the tech told me this is a known issue with this brand.

Review: Body Iron 45° Leg Squat and Calf Raise Machine – Purchased from World Fitness (Cheltenham) I purchased the Body Iron 45° Leg Squat and Calf… Read more

Raise machine from the World Fitness store in Cheltenham approximately 14 months ago. The machine was assembled strictly according to the provided instructions, a process that took close to a full day to complete, so I am confident the setup was done correctly. Within the first four months of use, the machine started developing significant noise, which progressively worsened. After continued use, it became clear that the issue was related to the rollers, and now—just 14 months after purchase—the ball bearings in the rollers have completely failed. I reported the issue to World Fitness, provided a video as requested, and followed up via phone. I was advised that my only options were either to transport the entire machine back to the store myself or to have a technician attend at my cost. I was also informed that the replacement rollers would be chargeable. Given the price paid and the expectation of durability for a commercial-style leg press, this outcome is extremely disappointing. A major mechanical failure such as worn-out ball bearings within such a short timeframe raises concerns about product quality and longevity. The lack of practical support or goodwill resolution from World Fitness further adds to the frustration. Overall, while the machine looks solid on purchase, my experience has been poor in terms of durability and after-sales support. I would strongly recommend prospective buyers carefully consider long-term reliability and warranty support before investing in this product.

5/4 leaking inside legs, groin, and under arms. Had it 3 winter seasons. Light to moderate usage. Disappointed.

So stoked with the 6’6 coffin it fits 3 x kneeboards no problem. Still room for bits and pieces. Really well made and not over the top on price like some brands.

Under promised, over delivered – Hunted online for a particular shoe. They had it in stock at the best available price. My online order was followed up with a phone call from Sims.… Read more

They estimated I'd receive the product on the Friday. Got in early Friday morning. They had even thrown in a complimentary pair of socks. Australia Post carried out the delivery and also kept me accurately advised about delivery. Would definitely buy from Sims again if they stock a product I want.

I purchased a Cardiotech X9 AC treadmill in April 2023 to replace an earlier model Cardiotech machine. This one was definitely not as well made. A… Read more

few months after the warranty expired the control board failed. Best price to replace will be around $500 and I was advised I was lucky one could be sourced. Don't know if it is worth it as I don't have any confidence in a machine only lasting just over two years, especially considering it didn't get a heavy use. The lifetime / 10 year warranty may be good for the motor and frame, parts that you would expect to last at least 10 years, but the trap is that critical parts have a very limited warranty and no guarantee of availability.

Great service – Very competitive prices and with fast expedient delivery. Goods as ordered

Great company to deal with – Had my board delivered, the whole process was easy and friendly. And a year on, when my pump broke, they replaced it very quickly.

Basil Fawlty has opened a tackle shop! Yep, same experience as all the others. Amazingly rude and unhelpful. Take your business somewhere else.

Product seems built well. The mag doesnt feed the gun properly and im lucky to get 4 shots out of 20 - apparently this is due to the gels im using..we shall see.

Good online service and product range and prices. Quick delivery to an Australia Post parcel locker. Good shopping instore too.

Steer Clear – AVOID!!! I ordered a sun hat for an adult and it is a child's size even though it clearly says 'one size fits all'. I've tried to call and sent emails but there has been no response. Avoid this company.

I bought a $2,999 stair climber from Dynamo Fitness through their website, added my full address at checkout, and was quoted $528 shipping. I paid in… Read more

full. No errors, no warnings, and no disclaimers about shipping being an estimate or quote-only. I got a proper order confirmation email. I assumed I was good to go.

The next morning at 9:30am, I got a call from the Brisbane store saying their website had “underquoted” the shipping and unless I paid another $400, they'd cancel and refund me. I was caught off guard and pressured to make a decision on the spot. I asked for this in writing. They agreed. No email ever came.

I followed up via email myself and gave them one full business day to respond. No reply. I followed up again, gave a clear deadline of 4pm today or I would escalate. That deadline has now passed. Still no reply. No tracking number. No stair climber. No communication.

This is a breach of contract. They accepted full payment, confirmed the order, then attempted to charge me more after the fact, and when I asked for that in writing, they disappeared. I’ve now escalated to PayPal, ACCC, and public reviews because I refuse to let this go quietly.

Don’t risk it. If they mess up your order or shipping, you’ll be the one paying for it or youll be ghost while they hold your money and your purchase.

26/9/25 EDITED TO ANNOUNCE - Dynamo ended up agreeing to fulfil my order at price paid. The machine turned up yesterday and appears to be good quality. We have resolved our dispute.

Fast great price easy to use website. Lots of products available intricate details of the products which as a beginner was just what I needed

Ordered a Srixon carry bag online... dont recommend this at all...what a drama trying to it delivered via Aramex. Found out after ringing another… Read more

driver (according to the tracking note for delviery) the driver for my area Henly Brook, had left. So where am I...doing the searching coz Aramex dont know where the parcel is!

Been out for delivery for 2 weeks and Golfbox just wiping their hands of it... Got theor money..Great service guys and in additon, don't ring a shop if you buy online, they dont know anything...Hopeless!

Lesson Learnt!

Prompt and Impressive service - I had a problem with a Helinox chair purchased from MO Tackle. After contacting the store, I received a detailed… Read more

response within a few hours agreeing to investigate my issue. The next day, I was offered a replacement chair which was delivered to me within 48 hours. These days many items for sale online are very similar in cost, and the real difference is when you need assistance with a purchase. Rob Mutton at MO Tackle went out of his way to resolve everything (talking to the supplier on my behalf), renewing my confidence with on-line shopping. For the time being anyway!

actually they were ok but they sent me a chin up bar (that was ok ) that required 6 bolts to attach to the wall and it only came with 3 bolts i… Read more

wrote to them and told them of the shortage and they answered promptly and said WE DONT SUPPLY BOLTS TO ATTACH TO THE WALL!!!

my response

WELL YOU DO, YOU SENT 3, IT REQUIRES 6! INCREDIBLE

instead of just doing the right thing these guys want to get a win

MAKE SURE YOU READ ABOUT INCLUSIONS - EVEN IF THEY DIDNT MEAN TO SEND

SEE PICTURE IN THE PACKET 4 BLACK BOLTS TO HOLD CHIN BAR TOGETHER 3 WALL BOLTS TO HOLD UP HALF THE CHIN BAR -BUT APPARENTLY THEY DONT SUPPLY THEM!!!1

Timely and super helpful – When picking up my scooter I received fabulous and friendly service from walk smart. They showed me how to use all the parts and made sure I was comfortable before leaving the store! Highly recommend

I rang the store, described the issue with my bike, they said 'sounds like a crank bearing problem'. I dropped the bike for repair, they called back… Read more

saying the bike need a service, tyres and chain. I asked 'did you ride the bike, find the issue'. 2 mins later they called back with 'I couldn't find the issue'. it needs a service, chain and tyre. I okayed it for the work. I assumed, wrongly, that a service would include checking/repacking bearings. Charge was $260. Bike was exactly as it was, with a new tyre and chain. Will NEVER go back there
