I ordered on Friday, my paypal payment was accepted and still no email regarding dispatch.

Yeah me too........:mad:

Tinie · 25-07-2011 3:59pm

Made an order last night, paid by paypal, but on my order history it still says "new order" under status. Is that the same for everyone? I got a paypal confirmation email and the payment is "pending" but I got no email off sports direct. Im hoping its because theres a good 8 or 9 things in the order that it may take a day or 2 to be despatched, but I thought it would be saying "order picking" or "packaging" now. hmmmm....

In my experience with ordering from SportsDirect some orders can be despatched very quickly. Probably because they have the items in a central warehouse. Sometimes when you order something that is end of line or exdisplay (major bargains to be had but risking being shop soiled), it can take a few days longer as unlike amazon etc, they ship everything in one box not in dribs and drabs as they probably round every up in one place first and then ship.

I ordered on Saturday morning through paypal as a new customer and my package was shipped on Saturday evening according to email received, however the tracking number is showing up as invalid. They have charged my paypal account though.

If you cut and paste the tracking number into the courier company's tracking it does come up. Mine was registered as delivered to the main depot and then shipped out again 4 minutes later. I would expect delivery tomorrow.

Thanks wasn't sure if that would change given the change of uk courier

eddiem74 · 26-07-2011 8:34am

From YODEL website:

If your parcel reference is 8, 13 or 16 digits long please use the following link www.myyodel.co.uk.

If your parcel number begins with the letters JD, please use the following link http://tracking.yodel.co.uk.

Also if you have a JD tracking number you can enter it at www.dhl.ie to get more information.

For your consideration: if you typically rely on a courier to call due to lack of house name/number/need for directions it might be worth a call to DHL (once package is in Ireland) to ensure they have the right address and phone details. On my last and first delivery DHL did not have my phone number as it was not passed from SportsDirect somehow? I did follow up with SportsDirect after and they confirmed they had all the information so not sure what happened.

bazwaldo · 26-07-2011 9:09am

Cheers Eddie. Mine has just left Gatwick after ordering late Saturday night. Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow. Pity it does not give a delivery date estimate.

Mine is the same status.

I called DHL Ireland this morning and they confirmed it was due for delivery on the 28th and also confirmed they did not have a contact number again for me. :rolleyes: They cannot update my number until the shipment is in Ireland so I will be watching for that. I've also emailed SportsDirect again to complain that DHL did not get my number.

bmcc10 · 26-07-2011 10:43am

darn it was gonna order stuff sunday night at about 11 but 1st time getting anything off it,and it was saying 0.00 for delievery so i thought there was something wrong...ordered stuff this morning when should this arrive and how long does it take 4 your email to arrive???

20 Times 20 Times · 26-07-2011 11:18am

DHL have no contact number for me , and cant update it as its still in transit along with the rest of the orders placed Saturday!! I have to wait until Thursday she said before she can update it with a number.

jpb1974 · 26-07-2011 11:47am

SportsDirect are brutal for not including your contact number on the package.

What I did was incorporate it into my address on the package e.g.

Joe Bloggs
123 Smith Street
Contact Number: 087 1234567
Nice Town
Co. Kerry
Ireland

I've never had any hassle since.

Rowley Birkin QC · 26-07-2011 1:10pm

My first order left Gatwick this morning according to DHL. Put down my work address so shouldn't run into too much hassle hopefully.

Tinie · 26-07-2011 1:36pm

My order tracking number begins with JD, but when I type it into the yodel site or the DHL site, there is no info on it. It does not tell me where it is. Is this normal? Can I still ring DHL and quote the JD tracking number, then give them the contact number as they will probably need to ring me.

Forget about Yodal and put your JD reference into DHL's online tracking facility

Just rang them (DHL) and they couldn't recognise the tracking number, when was your parcel sent out (I just got my despatch email a few hours ago), as my parcel number isn't recognised on the yodel site either!

If you only got the dispatch email give it till tomorrow as I suspect they send that email when they have the shipment ready for pickup but its not with DHL yet. I got that email yesterday and was getting no results on the tracking websites, tried it today however and there was information.

Yup.. if you only got the mail today you have to allow sufficient time for it to register on DHL's systems.

tinner777 · 27-07-2011 1:05pm

all my stuff came today, every time i buy from them they always send one thing wrong though!!!

Paul Tergat · 27-07-2011 1:09pm

I ordered late Sunday and got my stuff this morning. The colours on a couple of things are different (only water bottles) and they replaced one small item also but very happy with the service and for dirt cheap too. Nice one OP!

tinner777 · 27-07-2011 1:27pm

umm just checked my order and the mistake was mine, must put internet away when drunk, sorry sd

kn · 27-07-2011 1:34pm

Going by tracking on DHL mine left their Shannon depot this morning for delivery (in Kerry). So presumably en route at the moment.

Farls · 27-07-2011 1:44pm

I ordered Sunday evening and according to the DHL site mine is with the courier in Ireland now, hopefully they haven't messed up and not put my number on the package as finding my house is not an easy task for the untrained!

Either way I'll ring DHL tomorrow if I don't get the parcel today.

yabadabado · 27-07-2011 1:52pm

ordered on sunday and my parcel left the dublin depot this morning ,should have it today or tomorrow morning.good service so far.

tsoparno · 27-07-2011 1:53pm

Farls · 27-07-2011 2:51pm

My package just failed delivery according to the DHL tracking site it was due to me not being home. I rang DHL and as expected there was no contact number so they updated this and it will now be delivered tomorrow.

Are you going to follow up that or let it go?

Have you ever emailed them about the wrong things, and if so what was the outcome as I ordered a lot of things, and think some things will be wrong.

yes they tell you to send it back and they'll refund you postage, but to be honest for the price of the item i haven't bothered. I have had stuff go missing and they refund you no questions asked

Got some of my stuff today too and played 5 a side in my new Juve jersey after having coffee from my ridiculous mug!

Just sickened I didn't order more stuff from there while the sale was on, great value.

Not the free delivery though. It just takes the sheen of it enough to hold me back from ordering more stuff!

Ordered Sunday, arrived today, had to laugh at the massive big mug. Great service.
