    I have never ordered from them before.
    Are delivery times always as bad as the above? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Had mine in 3 days...great bargains...only disappointment was 2 pairs of footwear that were my size (9) but ended up being too tight so had to go back (can be a problem with some of the brands)...
    Used NI post office since An Post wanted 30 quid or something for recorded del.
    Just got a refund, since SD.com were looking postage on exchanges...

    Will definitely be using again but ordering 1/2 size bigger next time...

    Thanks for the reply Wertz, does the small sizing apply to everything they sell or just footwear?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Not a sizing issue really...on some makes or types of shoes/trainers I take a 9.5 and on some it's a 9. I was just unlucky (and one of the pairs had no half sizes)
    Their sizing is identical to anything you'll find here...Heatons stock some of the stuff they sell...at a bit of a mark-up.

    Heatons wouldn't be the dearest B&M place around.

    No not at all, but having compared some of the stuff I bought or saw on sd, the mark up was fairly generous, even during a heaton's sale.
    Been in sd B&M places in the North and their in-store prices are same as their website...
    Not to criticise heatons, they're better than a lot of Irish stores pricewise...it's our whole system here that influences price.

    just placed an order with them. The prices are unbelievable so I'm expecting some glitch to happen somewhere! Maybe delivery will take 6 months:eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 268 ✭✭Kid Charlemagne


    wouldnt have any concerns forrest - ive got two lots off em - both exactly as i requested and bang on.
    first lot took 3 days, second about a week.

    excellent site. prices are brilliant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,245 ✭✭✭donnacha


    is free shipping back?


  • Registered Users Posts: 948 ✭✭✭Antrim_Man


    Great prices and have spent and saved a fortune with them and never one little hiccup. Lots of cheap Karrimor gear but the logo looks like a Union Jack :mad:

    my stuff arrived today, everything went well, no hiccups and delivery was 3 days (weekend in between). The conversion rate was decent too, compared to XE Universal there was only €2 the difference on an order of £68.

    The mug is massive, there's no way I'd have a cup of tea that big...perhaps I'll grow a few flowers in it:D

    sorry Kristopherus, maybe I'm thick but what's the point of your post?

    I cannot copy the Flash Banner that was included in the email.There was a big A5 banner announcing the Free Delivery(in the UK mainland only). I'm not sure if the last email re the Free Delivery in July was worded the same, and gave Free Delivery to all, as I have deleted it from my Inbox. Just wanted to alert peeps that the Free Delivery may be back.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭coillcam


    Just added a few items to the cart and went to check out. Delivery is still £7.99 to Ireland.

    Which is not correct as I got it free to Co Antrim :D

    I had a horrible experience with this company.

    I ordered a shirt and they sent the wrong size.

    Their customer service is incredibly slow.
    It takes roughly a week to answer an email!

    A month later I'm still waiting on a refund.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I had no problems with a refund for two pairs of trainers that were that wee bit too tight for my feet. Simply popped them in the post (registered from NI post office) and ticked the boxes on the paper invoice which I included.
    Had my refund in 3 days. Didn't even have to eMail them. Since it was my fault, I paid for return, but if it's their fault they'll pay (not sure how this works for ridiculous An Post charges)...
    Patiently waiting for next free EU delivery offer
