I was thrilled to find my favorite shoes at a great sales price on their website. I ordered them, got a confirmatory email saying my gear "is zooming toward the truck". A week later, I hadn't received them, and the temp charges on my credit card had not been posted. I tracked the order on their website and learned that my order had been cancelled - no explanation, no notification to me. After sending them an email, I learned that their inventory is updated online daily (i.e. it's not real-time), and the shoe was, in fact, not available. However, a Fit Expert would be happy to help me find another item (at a full price). What company cancels your order and fails to even tell you? Beware - whatever you order online may not actually be available to you.

As a side note, the website thought that I was still a VIP member, even though I didn't claim it, and so it gave me that discount. Later, before my order was cancelled, Road Runner added an additional charge of about $20 to my credit card, without asking or even informing me. Either stay away from them or watch your credit card closely.

The upshot is that I found the same shoes at Amazon at an even better price than the sales price I had hoped to get from Road Runner; and you know that Amazon is a much better retailer than Road Runner.

This was a horrible experience. I completed an order on their website for ~$94 and received an email saying I had completed it (but they did not give a total price). Several days later my credit card was charged an additional ~$10 and I received another email saying my order had shipped (still no total price). I went to the website and looked at my order history, but they do not record the price paid on there either! There is no record of the price I originally agreed to, and in the end I was charged for ~10% more. This is very sketchy. I will not be doing business with them again.

I placed an order online with Road Runner Sports a couple days with my VIP account and utilized a VIP discount code. Today, when I checked my bank statement, I noticed an unauthorized charge of $20 from Road Runner Sports. Upon contacting them, I was informed that my VIP membership had expired at in 2011; they could not explain why my VIP status was still active on the website. Rather than call to inform me of this or cancel my order, they opted to make an unauthorized charge to my credit card. For the record, Road Runner made an unauthorized charge to my credit card in 2011 as well, which is why I had not shopped with them since. After two unauthorized charges to my card, I won't be shopping there again.

Great Prices, Great Service, Great Selection. Their discounts actually work on the shoes you want unlike other sporting goods retailers.

Road Runner Sports will violate your privacy. I preemptively specified no renting, selling sharing or marketing as part of my order. Several weeks later, I started getting junk mail from them. Fast forward another 7 weeks later, they are still publishing what I ordered and when. Road Runner Sports was unable to explain why they are violating their own privacy policy. Today, when I called again, the representative "John" caustically suggested "just throw it out the mail, there is nothing more I can do for you." BEWARE: Read the very fine print--the VIP membership autorenews at $25/year!

Fantastic selection. quick shipping and awesome customer service!
