Check products. Inspect branded items before paying; one review warns that some products were said to be non-genuine.

Check timing. If visiting on Friday, confirm opening time first; one customer expected 3:30 but found the shop opening at 4:30.

A customer said an Apacs cricket shoe bought for AED 125 failed after one day.

Reviews describe rude responses, including a refusal to add black tape after string work and an earlier complaint about incorrect strings.

The Bottom Line
Galaxy Sports LLC is a compact Al Karama sports shop where you can pick up badminton rackets, cricket equipment, football goods and other everyday sporting gear. Its most useful specialist service is racket stringing, and one customer specifically praised the work on a badminton racket. The shop is smaller than its range suggests, with reviews mentioning badminton, squash, cricket, tennis and football items in the same outlet.
Pricing is a major draw for shoppers looking for economical or mid-range equipment. Customers describe choices from low to high, including badminton rackets bought for AED 150, while others say prices are not always negotiable and may compare unfavourably with online listings. Staff feedback is mixed: several customers found the team helpful when choosing a racquet, but other reviews report rude handling of complaints or service mistakes.
Take extra care with quality-sensitive purchases. One review says an Apacs cricket shoe costing AED 125 failed after one day, and another reports three of ten racquets breaking within 15 days. Check authenticity, product condition and racket-string specifications before paying.
If you need a particular size, confirm stock at the Al Karama branch first; a customer was directed to International City instead. Friday opening hours are also worth confirming.
