Decathlon - now cheaper In Dublin than GB, not sure about NI

dowtchaboy

I bought a bike online from Decathlon.ie last week, which shipped from their French warehouse. Surprised to find it was cheaper in Ireland than GB. Riverside 500 - was €300 here, £329.99 in the .co.uk site. Delivery was €19.90, which seems very reasonable.

I checked a few other prices just now and there seems to be a 10 to 20% discrepancy across the range (of bikes). For instance, an electric Riverside 920 E is £999.99, versus €1,000.

If you live in NI, it might be worth checking the two sites, and, of course, if they will ship to NI at the euro price.

As it happens I bought some stuff from a German car-parts site last week as well and was amused to see it said (more or less) "Unfortunately, due to excessive red-tape, we cannot deliver to UK (with the exception of Northern Ireland)", so maybe Decathlon will be similarly on the ball.

Yeah it's quite common.

Rose bikes gave up on the UK too.

No surprise Decathlon is more expensive over there too.

at least the UK stores have stock!

Irish website and store seems to be a "nice to have" attitude by decathlon,

an embarrassment by European standards if anyone has been to France or Germany
