I recently ordered from the Adidas online shop expecting that there would be postal deliveries delays. The order was placed over 3 weeks ago and when I checked the status, the order still hasn't been packed.
I would understand if this was a mum and dad retailer who was overwhelmed by the increase of orders but this is a multi-national company that does not appear to be able to pivot and maximize the online shopping boom.
I have contacted and they have said they are taking upto 28 days to pack items.
I put an order in earlier in covid lockdown and there were alerts/notes all over their website announcing considerable delays, it ended up taking about as long as they’d advised.
I can see their website now suggests 28 days (wonder if it is business days). While a large global company there aren’t many immune to the challenges covid has introduced
