Not sure if it is targeted though at specific existing customers or not?

Its coming up for me Europe Zone 1 Delivery £0.00 i.e free!

Its applying a sh1tload of discounts as well if you buy in pairs. Like I got 3 pairs of sweatpants and 2 polos and it giving me an extra £10 off. So if you are ordering order 2 of them if you can justify it for extra discounts.

After all the discounts I got 6 sweatpants and 2 polos for £42 - and free delivery.

I got the mail and automatically assumed it wasnt for overseas :P

They have some really good prices on things from time to time.

I got last years Irish rugby jersey for £15 a while back

kn · 22-07-2011 2:29pm

BTW I think it is open to everyone and not just existing customers.

bazwaldo · 22-07-2011 2:43pm

Is there any minimum purchase to get free delivery?

There does not appear to be. They specify £60 for UK but I spent only £42 and got free delivery.

aidole · 22-07-2011 3:12pm

I can't seem to get onto the payment page, it is telling me to try again later. Any idea why this is happening?

HHH · 22-07-2011 3:14pm

Am I right in thinking that you needed to be signed up already to get the free postage or can new members get it too?

kn · 22-07-2011 5:14pm

Open to anyone In Ireland as far as I can see.

Tinie · 22-07-2011 5:18pm

Wow, theres actually some great bargains here. Have £50 to spend, and should pick up a pair of shoes, few tshirts, few trousers, jeans, hat, and few other things for less than £50!!

Just picked up a load of gear for the wife and baby. Great bargains. Cheers OP.

Charlie Haughy · 23-07-2011 2:45am

Got the dispatch email early this morning. Should arrive Monday/Tuesday if that is the case.

copacetic · 23-07-2011 10:44am

Does anybody else's confirmation mail have sports direct address as the delivery address and your actual address as billing address only? I'm assuming they won't send my delivery to themselves?!

I don't see what your getting at. The dispatch email I have gives my address as the delivery address and the invoice address, the Sportsdirect.com address is given towards the bottom of the email.

g0g · 23-07-2011 11:26am

Is shipping to ireland free at moment regardless of spend for a new customer? don't wannaregister then discover otherwise!!

I was asking just that to find out was it just me or everyone, my email is incorrect.

kqcregg · 23-07-2011 12:02pm

Cheers OP. Just placed an order for £17 and got the free delivery once ireland was put in the zip code part of the address. 1st time order so its seems to apply to all Irish orders! Some good deals there if the have your size.

Charlie · 23-07-2011 12:45pm

Don't give this man your money. :mad:

Did you pay by paypal? Weird one, emailed them, got an auto response saying it could be 5 days until they get back to me! Presume they will cop it...

Nope, I used Visa debit. Also, the socks I ordered were out of stock and removed from my invoice.

I'd say they'll send them to the correct delivery address.

Big Lar · 23-07-2011 1:36pm

Just paid with paypal and all is OK.

Do ye guys have confirmed addresses with paypal ?

Rowley Birkin QC · 23-07-2011 2:35pm

Cheers OP, just bought some stuff I didn't really want and can't really afford. The system works.

Mine isnt a confirmed paypal address either, but it hasnt stopped orders being fulfilled from other websites for me

ldxo15wus6fpgm · 24-07-2011 7:49pm

Bought a good bit of gear there, thanks very much OP! Got my despatch email there with the right address for delivery.

Did a quick bit of research on the company, no wonder they can sell the gear for so little, this Ashley guy owns dunlop, donnay, slazenger, everlast, kangol etc. outright!

Oat23 · 24-07-2011 8:21pm

I've ordered the Blackburn & Fulham 10/11 jerseys. Spartak Moskow jersey and 3 other normal t-shirts for €60. Can't complain at an average of 10 quid a shirt!

Rowley Birkin QC · 24-07-2011 10:55pm

Ordered 2 golf gloves there now aswell for the princely sum of £6. Great bargain OP.

lindtee · 24-07-2011 11:26pm

Thanks OP, great deals on the site. Just placed an order:)

SlanGoFoil2011 · 25-07-2011 12:03am

Have you tried argos? They have a big sale on tents, something there might be better value for you.

Just spent about £60 there! But got 2 pairs of shorts, pair of jeans, 2 pairs of jog pants, a nike american football, 2 pairs of gloves, a scarf, a tshirt, pair of kappa trainers, 3 beanie hats and a boxing keyring! Good value I think

Would never get good branded gear like that for that price in ireland thats for sure!

Cheers op!

Farls · 25-07-2011 9:46am

Placed an order yesterday as well, good spot OP.

Sheep Shagger · 25-07-2011 12:20pm
