    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 appear to be in the same situation as you.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    Cheers op!

    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.

    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.

    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.
