It's a big store and it's clean. However, shopping here is kind of a pain. For example, they have changed their shoe department. They used to keep the shoe stock in the aisles. Now the stock is limited to the backroom. Every time you want to try on a pair of shoes you must find a sales person to help you. When there's ten or more people seeking to try on shoes this becomes an ordeal. Plus even though there were two guys in the shoe department, one of the guys was operating at a slow/stop pace. So basically there were 1.33 guys there to help the customers. The store is also very busy. I'm guessing it's one of the highest grossing Dick's in the nation. At checkout there were approximately 20 people in line. Imagine the line at Christmas time. This line, to their credit, did move fairly well. My total wait time was about seven minutes. At present time, Dick's is kinda the only game in town since Sports Authority closed it's door. A little competition might help. read more

DICK'S Sporting Goods - Really? The mannequins are now dressed as thugs? - Sports Wear Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Do not buy a bike at Dick's. They have a 24-hour return policy. They are not open 24 hours. They were closed during Covid-19. I bought the bike in April, was not able to ride the bike until the end of May due to inclement weather. On my fourth ride of the season, the gear started slipping and making loud clicking noises. I took the bike back today only to be informed that I cannot return a brand new bike unless it is with the 24-hour window frame. Management is not good at this store. Steve, the young man who repaired my bike, is an excellent employee, I hope they don't lose him. Customer service is almost non-existent at this location, both in picking up the item and trying to return it. This bike has a defect. The the store manager is telling me I am not shifting correctly and basically what do I expect for a low price range, Schwinn. Really? read more

For being such a big store, there's not much selection on wrestling gear, they only had one pair of wrestling shoes and they only keep them in the back ... They have a ton of selection for golf... The sales floor people are nice but not very knowledgeable about the sporting goods that they sell... Huge parking lot, great location, fast check-out. read more

Everytime I come to this store, I have the worst experience. There's never anyone around to help you and when I do find someone, they just tell me "it's over there" and walk away. Then of course, I cant find it and have to find that person again to show me. Well, then they act like I'm putting them out or something. Unfortunately, since Sports Authority closed this is the only sportin good store near me. One thing I will say is that their lack of customer service is always consistent. read more

My wife was there when she went to her car with a bike. It would not fit all the way. That of course is no fault of Dicks. When she went in and asked to borrow a tool so she could tie it down they said no. She offered 20 dollars to buy what she needed to do so still they were rude and would not help. When I heard this I was in utter shock the money I spend there, Or say I used to spend there. I will never set foot in any of their stores ever again. read more

This is the very first time that I have ever written a negative review but I have to say that the customer service at the gun counter at Dick's is absolutely AWFUL, There is a guy named Vince who has the worst attitude and customer service that I have ever experienced. I spend several thousands of dollars purchasing sporting goods, shooting supplies and other related supplies each year and I will now drive the extra distance to go to Cabellas or Bass Pro Shop. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Dicks (appropriate name for the gun counter guys).. read more

Ok sooo this store gives you the impression they are a "sporting goods" store by the name.... really??? The stopped selling guns and ammo, destroyed all AR rifles now they do NOT sell fishing equipment!!! None not a reel, rod, lure or even a worm!!!! There is no reason to go here anymore unless I need very VERY overpriced clothing! Like a pair of $549.00 snow pants. YES $549.00!!!! read more

I went in the store to buy a shotgun, running shoes, and a Fitbit, at 10:30 in the morning. At each department I was told to wait for someone else. No one came to help me. It was a one hour waste of time. So I am just going to order the shoes and Fitbit from Amazon, and go to Article 2 for the shotgun. Useless store read more

Horrible customer service experience tonight!! As in not a single person said one word to me the whole hour I was there trying on hockey skates!!!! I really could of used some help in deciding which were best for me among other questions I had!!!!! I wasn't even acknowledged!!!!!! You don't deserve any stars but I had to give one to post my review!!! read more

Very disappointed. Cold and unfriendly attitude of staff working on floor. My son high school senior was looking at jackets on second floor, I was tired and not feeling well. I couldn't find a seating place close by, so I managed to sit down briefly on a 'sturdy ' display rack of men's shirts without actually disturbing the array of neatly folded shirts. A young lady, Jennifer walks up to me and says 'I need to reach the shirts'. I, at once stood up to stand by the side. Jennifer, unfolds a neatly folded shirt and then folds it again and put it to cover the spot where I managed to sit earlier . She then walks away when I walked up to her that told her if she needed me to not use the rack for sitting she should have voiced it directly as opposed to indirectly insulting my intelligence. And considering every customer is a valued guest she should have rather suggested an alternative for sitting . Instead she was rude even more. For the readers and Dick's management's information, I have spent over 2000 dollars in past 2 weeks at this location. This is not happening again, I will take my business to REI instead who's customer service is outstanding. read more

While the store itself provides variety and is clean, the customer service is BEYOND horrible even from the person who may have been the manager. I was in the store for at least 30 minutes and did not see 1 employee helping another customer. I am not one for constant attention nor do I like it when sales people follow you around, but they were talking to each other or at the registers. Ummm...if you don't assist the people, they may not buy something. So after walking around with a few items in my hands, I found a group of them and asked for assistance. They instructed me to put the item I was looking for back on the display and someone would be with me. 10 minutes later, no one. As I was walking out, one of the employees was outside and said, " oh, didn't anyone help you?" Obviously not, maybe she should have helped me instead of going outside!!!! Yeah, I walked out of there with nothing and I will never go back. They clearly aren't interested in doing their job. Aren't they paid to be there and at the very least locate the item that someone would like to purchase?? read more

Return policy is awful! I had ordered an online pair of crocs that were too small and needed a larger size. I didn't have receipt but tags were still on them. The cashier took my credit card I had used and scanned the tag to credit my credit card and wasn't successful. Manager came over attempted same process and was not successful. I was told they would refund me $3.45 return value???? Or exchange for bigger size which they apparently didn't have color I wanted. I took shoes and left frustrated after being in long line after walking around store to see if they had shoes at the store. Not many people there to help. Entire time in store 40 mins and nothing accomplished. I did an online chat with customer service and asked them to email me my receipt which they did within 5 minutes drove to Orland location and they refunded the amount to my credit card which took 5 minutes. Not sure why the store couldn't have done that at their location. Employees need to be trained better as to how to deal with this type of situation if I had known I would of done it from home. This is why people deal with amazon which is way easier to deal with. I won't be returning to dicks. read more

Argh... maybe it's cause I'm a chick, but I get confused at this place. Where can I find....everything I needt? Yeah - no clue - unless I wander around. Nobody really wants to help. Of course we will be back because they have everything under the sun that you need - and even more that you didn't know you needed - but it's just confusing. And why were some male snow boots on one end of the store and the other ones on the other side of the store? Someone.please.explain. read more

Usually not a bad experience, but at 9am there is only 1 register working with 10+ people in line?

True story: a few months ago when the Cubs won the World Series (**GASPS**), I did a late night run to grab some World Series gear like a fairweather fan. As I browsed through th plethora of t shirts and other apparel, I bumped into Stan Bowman (Blackhawks GM). Now like the idiot that I am, I just stared at him in awe...greatness was standing in front of me!! A few people acknowledged him; one guy straight up went up to him and said, "Hey, aren't you the Blackhawks guy?" He found it amusing and confirmed it. It was one of the best memories of 2016. Anyway, this store is pricey. But it has practically your essentials when it comes to sports apparel and sports equipment. I love the Under Armour selection and the Nike selection as well. I'm a sucker for Nike yoga pants. Keep buying their merchandise, and if you have their membership or loyalty card, you can earn enough points towards a $10 dollar off your next purchase. But that's a lot of spending. I suppose there's no other place to compare this to since their other competitor went bankrupt. Not a bad place if you need something basic. read more

I was in the golf department on Black Friday looking to purchase a new driver. Spoke with Bob there who was courteous and quite knowledgeable in the particular item I was purchasing, and other golf equipment. After a computer glitch due to probably the volume of people there, I had to return to the store later and Bob apologized and I was able to complete my purchase. It was a refreshing experience for a guy who doesn't particularly like to shop. read more

I honestly don't know how they stay in business with other large sporting goods stores. They have very high prices and their stock seems to never change. The last new archery product I've seen was like 3 years ago! read more

My friends and I drove 30 minutes to this store as be we're told they had the shoes my friend wanted in stock. They did not have the shoes. We looked around to find other shoes and couldn't find someone to help us get her size. I'm very disappointed. read more

I have no beef with this location. This place is HUGE-if you're looking for something specific, chances are you will find it here. I was in the market for a weightlifting belt and a knee brace. One of the employees, Arthur, took the time to find the right knee brace for me. And get this-it wasn't the most expensive one! He let me try on a variety of braces and told me which ones are best for which knee ailments. You can definitely get a lot of these items cheaper on the internet, but I figure the premium is worth it when it comes with this type of service. Overall, I am pleased with this location and will probably be back. read more

Every time there is an issue with the kids selling shoes in that department. First off, we are standing there and looking around for someone to help us. There's a kid no more than 20ft away from us. He's standing there, looks at us and looks away. Does not approach us or ask us if we need help. As if we are visiting the shoe department for summer vacation. My husband approaches him. He comes over and seems to know nothing about Brooks. We tell him the size, twice, since he forgot in a matter of 2 seconds. Nicely comes out and tells us they don't have the size. Okay no problem. Can we order in the store? Yes. We have cash. Uhhhhh, I don't know how to do that. We go up front and ask a young lady who just got done helping a family order shoes. She pulls up the shoe and it shows the color and size we want is not available. But on my phone it's available. Hmmmmm, let me ask a manager. Manager comes over. Nope can't order it. But it's on my phone I say, well you got the last one, order it he says. But I don't want to order it because i have cash!!!!! The young lady is standing there looking at the manager, the manager is turned away helping someone else. I said, thanks anyway well skip the coupons we had and points and go to NEW BALANCE! Thanks for terrible customer service Dick's and lack of empathy and interest in our business. My husband really needed shoes and we came to you as we did before. NO MORE!!!! read more

This location is huge (well most of them are)...I wish they had more youth options because I went there to buy something for athletic kids. I felt like I was going in circles because well even though it seems organized...it really is not the best layout. I wandered around the store looking confused and no one helped me...but it was the Christmas season so they were busy. I personally don't think I can buy athletic clothes here because it is very $... read more

Ordered December 21st online for My wife's Xmas gift, I was told it'll be there in 3-5 business days. Today I get an email today saying my order is cancelled. Thank you for not charging me, Thanks for living up to your name. read more

Nice store. Difficult to get help from employees (one acted as if I was annoying him) and not adequately stocked for the next few months of cold weather. Big selection of jackets, Bears items. read more

Best selection of Sporting Goods in the Area. Helpful Staff as well! Take advantage of all the coupons they give you!

Dicks is bullshit. They put all the other good sporting goods stores out of business and I go in the for 3 things. Exchange a hoodie for a larger size, cleats, and bat. And I come out with nothing. They don't carry 2XL hoodies, the cheapest cleats I could find in my size are $120, and they don't carry end weighted softball bats. It's so frustrating. I mean I'm not a big guy 6'/225lbs. Need a 2XL hoodie so it's nice and comfortable and wear size 13 cleats for a men's softball league. I shouldn't have to spend more than $50 for the 14 games I play a year. Good thing amazon carries 2 of the 3 things I was looking for. Will not be returning to this franchise. read more

Be better if they located the outdoors stuff closer to the door. Maybe that's to encourage me to buy athletic gear for the hike. 3 stars is really 5 since how excited could I really be about this place anyway? read more

Visited Dick's on christmas eve for some last minute shopping. The customer service was great - two different associates asked if I needed help finding anything and I was able to find the items I was looking for and make it quickly to the checkout. Although the store was packed and there was a long line, the line for registers was well organized and moved quickly along. The store manager even came by passing out water to those of us waiting in line. Overall great and fast shopping experience read more

Dicks Sporting goods has lost touch with its customers. I was in the store today wanting to buy a pair of shoes. I ask the young sales associate about pair he said they were out of stock. I suggested another pair he scanned the display sample he said I will be right back. 15 minutes later he still not back. I left the store - I will not ever be back!!! $15.00 I don't think so. read more

Tomei was a great help when I asked her about good leggings for walk/run and yoga. I was introduced to brands I have never thought about trying but was recommended based on my needs. She has great product knowledge, professional, and provided great customer service! Good job Tomei! read more

Started off by purchasing a firearm from them which has pretty much a limited selection. The only reason I came was for a inexpensive buy. Background check went through. A member of their staff called me the next day prior and said the 24 hour period has begun and I waited till the next business day. And now they won't release the firearm to me. Just because they forgot to enter simple info into there computer and paperwork. In my last 2 days at the Store they have had to rest their system multiple times. They need to get rid of the old Employees who can't do simple computer work and fill out simple paperwork. read more

I would like to thank the staff at the Dicks sporting store in Lombard. I purchased an item and accidentally left it at the register. I didn't realize until later on that I didn't take my bag home. I called the store and they were very nice. I was able to prove that I had purchased the product and I want to thank manager Diaz for his understanding and making this a pleasant experience. read more

I ordered a pair of boots online for my wife for Christmas which shipped and were delivered on time. Unfortunately, two weeks later I received a credit fraud alert indicating that someone was attempting to open a Dick's credit card in my name. It's clear to me that my information was compromised when ordering through their website. Bottom line - do not shop at this store unless you want your identity stolen. read more

My favorite place!! Alas !! Poor service. Went to get a swimming goggle for my daughter and Picked up a t shirt for her too. After 10mins wait was only one counter open ( understandable as a slow day) another lady came and opened the counter and I got my chance to pay but when she told me the total I was kinda confused . I asked the price of the goggles . She gave me a price almost $9 higher. I said u have another price displayed . The reply was "the may have displayed a wrong price" . So, is she working for a different entity ? Of course no apologies . I didn't say nothing but lemme go get another one . I went back with my daughter and my 2 year old again upstairs and took a pic of the display as they had more in that hook with the lower price came back with another goggle waited for the same associate to rang me and once my turn came in I showed her the pic . The reply was " oh, I will tell them to change . No apologies again and I paid for it . Before she handed over me the bag she had to leave the counter to attend another customer waiting on the far side without even wishing me a thank you at-least. I do have her name and the display pic but I have been a store manager once for a long period and I don't wanna embarrass her. read more

Unfortunately, there is no option I am aware of to post a review of Dick's Sporting Goods' website, so I have to detail my experience on the page of the store closest to my location. I recently ordered several items from Dick's during a 50% off sale. All but one of the items shipped. The final item was cancelled by Dick's, although I received no notification nor reasoning as to why the item was cancelled. But, I figured it was no big deal, they probably just ran out of stock, right? Well, I checked the website, and it was still in stock (and still is as of this writing.) I e-mailed their customer service and asked if they could simply honor the price at which I bough it, since I ordered it on 3/2 and it was clearly still in stock as of 3/7. Instead, I was offered a perfunctory 20% off coupon. After 3 more messages, I was assured that if I wanted the item, I would have to order it again at full price. Although I assume I could use my 20% off coupon, which would essentially be rendered moot once shipping is included because this new order, unlike my first order, would not meet the $99 threshold required for free shipping. I personally feel that this is an example of fairly dishonest business practice and will not be returning to the website, nor their brick-and-mortar counterpart. read more

Jalen is very nice and would help in anyway he could. Was the only person to ask if I needed help.

It's a nice clean store. A good overall selection of merchandise. I've had issues calling on the phone, sometimes where I'll be on hold for a while getting transferred back and forth, but in store the service has been decent. I know it's tough for stores to stock everything all year round, but you can certainly tell when it's baseball season because everything in store seems to be baseball and everything else gets put in back, etc. Out of season, some things can be harder to find, but it's really like that everywhere. Anyways, I found some hiking shoes I liked on sale. I bought them and I'll be back for more when I need some other stuff. read more

Was told in December 2017 to hold onto our Golfsmith Gift Cards until after the new year and then we could use them. Turns out that after the new year 2018 they will not accept the cards. What a great way to treat possible customers...what a waste. Will never go to Dick's again. read more

Love hate this or these places - love sports so I want to touch everything in the store. Hate that they have no personality and that it's so major brand driven. I swear under armor has a huge stake in the place. I miss the local store on the corner with the ex high school star schlepping sporting goods like a champ. reliving the good ole days and seeing him gimp around on a couple of broken down knees. read more

I had a very bad experience with the cycling department here. I purchased a bike on their website which was then delivered and set up in the store. Whoever put my bike together here should NOT be working in that department. I took my bike for one ride and throughout the ride the bike was making a strange noise near the chains, the handlebar felt unsteady and after 20 miles THE HANDLEBAR CAME OFF. The bike slowly fell apart on my walk home. They gave me a bike that was incredibly dangerous to ride and I was lucky to have been on a side street rather than a busy intersection. I took the bike in to Dick's in Schaumburg and told them what happened. The guys there said never to return to the Dick's in Lombard because the bike department there is the worst in the area. I don't understand how they let these bikes leave the store knowing that the staff is incapable of setting them up. The gentlemen at the Schaumburg location were very helpful and I would recommend going there. I would have given this place one star but I cannot fairly rate the other departments without having shopped around. read more

I went here to find some Under Armor for my brother for his birthday. I had a difficult time finding a match, top and bottom. Finding an associate was no easy task however once I did they could not have been more helpful. Prices are retail, if you want a bargain wait for a sale. read more
