Cut the tracking number from the email and paste it into the DHL Site

Copy the code after "Click here to track this despatch:" (numbers) and use them in dhl.ie.

Parcel left Gatwick this morning at 5am apparently, so I reckon I'll get it tomorrow. Or today, but I won't get my hopes up

Gone Drinking, copy your tracking number and put it directly into the DHL website, that worked for me.

Just received my purchase (ordered on Friday evening) and I'm so happy right now!!! Bought a running shoe and a jersey.

I missed the DHL guy this morning but he came back even though I already emailed them to come back tomorrow.

p/s: I'm soooo happy, I created an account just to share with you guys I did receive the big mug as well

Just how massive is this massive mug you people is talkin bout ?

Placed an order on Friday, tracking says its in Dublin since 18:15. Placed another yesterday which has yet to go to courier.

Soon as I check the quality and sizes of what I ordered I could be hitting them again for another batch.

I ordered on the 27th, despatched on the 28th and unable to track the item since then. I get some error from Yodel the delivery people. Emailed C.S. today and got automated reply saying it can take up to 5 days for a reply.
Tried phoning them and was left on hold for over 20 mins and just gave up.

Prices may be cheap but customer services suck.

That link doesnt work for anyone. Put the tracking number in at dhl.com that'll let you know where it is.

Ordered mine Sunday and got a call from courier today (I'm in hospital) he said he'd leave a note in the letterbox and put the parcel out of sight.

Luckily dad was home anyway- he'd asked me to order a Liverpool goalie jersey that my little nephew was looking for for ages.

Dad and nephew delighted and he got a free mug too. Thanks* 10^1000 op

I placed my first order on Saturday morning and the status is also "Departed Facility in GATWICK" since today around 9am.

Huge parcel delivered!

BTW the delivery guy called me, he had my phone number, so it seems that sportsdirect are now including it with the delivery details or whatever.

Thanks to OP, spending 200 pounds on sport goodies is less painful with free delivery

Mine's out for delivery too since 8:44 this morning. They sure are taking their sweet time. Have to go somewhere later, can't stay in the house all day waiting for it :eek:

Anyone knows what happens if I miss the delivery ? Will they deliver it another time ?

If you call DHL (1890 725 725; outside of Ireland 353-1-8700790) with your tracking number they will call the driver and provide you an ETA.

Finally got mine. Just finished trying everything on and they all fit nicely except for one. There had to be one Not too worried about it since it was so damn cheap, probably just gonna give it away instead of returning it.

And I got 2 free mugs since I made 2 orders. Happy days Definitely gonna order another batch soon !

The one problem with getting things at the prices I paid is that it makes it extremely hard to bring myself to pay anywhere near the more usual prices. :pac:
