A brief history
We started life over 20 years ago when Simon Millet founded his first Millet Sports shop in London. A keen sportsman, Simon wanted to set up a store selling performance sports equipment combined with a service to offer expert product advice, unlike the sports fashion stores that were taking over the high street at the time.
Over the years, these sports fashion stores have come to dominate the high street, making it difficult to buy anything but basic sports equipment from most stores, and the number selling performance sports equipment is very much in decline. This is what led to the website being launched with the aim of helping everyone who wanted access to performance sports equipment but did not have a store locally.
Over the last few years the business has grown from strength to strength, adding more sports categories and a growing team of sport-minded colleagues to service the increasing customer demand.

What do I do if I have received an incorrect item?
Mistakes are rare, but they do happen. In the unlikely event that we have sent you the incorrect goods, then first of all we apologise. We want to make sure that we rectify this as soon as possible and ensure that we get the goods you ordered to you. In this event, please contact english.ebay@milletsports.co.uk , where one of our helpful advisors will be happy to assist you.

What do I do if I receive a faulty product?
We have high standards at Millets Sport and only source products from high quality brands and suppliers. Most items sold on our website have a full manufacturer's warranty. If any product we supply fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect we will be happy to assist you in providing a replacement or alternative product. However, due to the highly technical nature of many of our products, ahead of providing a replacement or alternative product, we are required to send all faulty products to the manufacturer for expert analysis. Please note this can take up to 28 days, however faulty items are normally replaced much quicker. In the event the manufacturer deems the product is not faulty, and damage was caused by mis-use, unfortunately we are not able to replace the item or offer an alternative. Please follow our easy returns process if you have a faulty item and we will be happy to assist you.
In the event that the product is deemed faulty on first inspection, and ahead of first use, please notify us (within 14 days of receipt), we will arrange a replacement immediately. Once the product has been used, all faults come under manufacturer's warranty and are bound by the process listed above. Please follow our easy returns process listed if you have a faulty item and we will be happy to assist you.

Do you have size guides?
Yes we do, because lots of our brands and suppliers have subtle differences in their sizing so you'll find them where it most makes sense, on the product pages. Just look beneath the main product image and you'll see a little tab marked 'Size guide', click on this and an overlay will launch showing you all the information you need in a table.
