The shirt did take a while to get here and it missed my grandsons birthday. When it did, the embroidery and the material was very good, the problem was that the sponsor letters peeled off on the first... See more

My item arrived 9 months after ordering, no apologies from SM, if your item hasn't arrived keep sending them emails.

The product is fantastic. Great quality and truly a proper replica of the original. The delivery was quite painful (virtually 3 mths) but the wait was well worth it and greatfully received by my brot... See more

Dreadful

Dreadful. Communication is poor and item still not delivered 7 months later. Request for refund ignored. Avoid.

Do NOT trust !!!

I see they advertising new Retro Tops to cash in on World Cup. DO NOT buy from them. I ordered November and still not received, a nonesense story about staff member being ill and Thailand shipping note. Fraudsters. Please DO NOT buy anything from this mob.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me! One whole year since ordering and still no shirt!
Randomly about a month ago I got yet another email explaining there had been issues but everything is now sorted and heres a tracking link…you know the rest. I really can’t fathom out what they are doing but people still must be ordering shirts that dont exist and Im sure im not the only who has noticed all their happy customers have suspiciously all got one review on trustpilot?

Purchased a shirt in Nov of 2025

Purchased a shirt in Nov of 2025. Was advised that shirt would arrive be end of year and with it being holidays I was patient even after being told that they having a starting issue. It has now be 5 months and they no longer respond to email. I have stopped corresponding and now my bank is involved to get a refund. Seems to be a common issue

Poor Service

Ordered a couple of shirts in December 2024, they still haven't arrived as of March 2026.
Updates are few and far between, and simply not accurate.
I had previously left a review and the company were quick to contact me offering a goodwill discount in exchange for removing the review, and committed to following up on the delivery.
At this stage, I don't exoect to recieve the shirts, I don't expect I'll get my money back.
Feel it is only responsible to let people know to avoid this company.

Ordered in Sept....gave the company the benefit of the doubt with the mixed reviews...thought plenty of time for it to arrive as it was a xmas present...roll on nearly April...still no product....and dont answer your questions properly in emails...they just dodge them...and say it will be updated....shock it hasn't....been asking for a refund for nearly 2 months and no reply or refund....would love to escalate further as they really shouldn't be trading if they can not provide what they are advertising and selling.

AWFUL SERVICE- AVOID!!!+

Ordered in January, still nothing. Communication is dreadful, all I ever get is a repeated email that tracking information will be available soon. Asked for a refund, nothing. No shirt, ordered as a present for brother, no tracking information, no refund. Just a load of BS about postage delays, sickness, and a million other excuses.

Absolutely rubbish

Absolutely rubbish. If I could click zero stars I would have.
Ordered in July 2025. Now March 2026 and still no shirt, or refund.
Communication from them has been very poor. Every email correspondence has come with me making the first contact.
I must have sent 20 emails in 8 months and had about 4-5 responses. With another few automatic replies that are as good as useless. Even their actual responses were rubbish and confirmed nothing. No telephone number on offer that could see anywhere either.
I asked several times for either the shirt I ordered or a refund, and have given them a few months to sort out this ridiculous situation before resulting in me leaving this negative review out of sheer revolt in their lack of providing me with anything.
This is such a shame as the shirts actually look really good. But 8 months in and £42 out of pocket is just terrible service. Whatever the excuse is.
If you can’t make or locate the shirt (not sure how your shirts are sourced), then just a refund would have been acceptable, even though a last resort.
But I’ve had nothing at all.
I’ve never left a negative review for anyone before.
So SM Retro, this review is all your own doing.
To anyone thinking of buying from these guys I wouldn’t waste your money, and eventual time in chasing it up.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
