What scheme have they got going on with this:

We are providing delivery services to you and we act on your behalf. Our delivery charge is collected from you by SportsDirect Ireland

What advantage do they have with the courier being under contract with us vs under contract with them?

Thanks for the heads up OP; ordered a load of gear earlier this evening. Got the family in on it as the delivery charge is the same regardless of the order size. The runners are great value (why does Elverys and Lifestyle always charge way over the odds for these?!) Can't wait for the delivery now!

What's with the £10 cashback at the end, i assume it'll cost you more in the long run?

Btw: i forgot to ask, aren't they part of Heatons?

Using the Irish site " FEB20 - Your basket does not meet the requirements of this voucher."

It was supposed to expire at midnight, so I'm assuming that's it.

Yeah I was thinking the same but hoping they were going to keep it active for awhile afterwards like the last one they did

10 cashback is bull crap, check their t&c

Last I heard Mike Ashley, Sportsdirect, Mr Newcastle and rangers etc etc owns 51% of heatons

The £10 cash back opts you into some deal saver type scheme where they'll charge you X per month to be part of a "club", I've seen it on a few websites (Ticketmaster, Irish Rail) and feel it's fairly underhanded, my dad foolishly fell for it.

It looks like you would have to be a frequent shopper to avail of it i see

I think it was written all over the website that the code for 20% off expired at midnight. So I'm guessing the code expired at midnight.

Yes I know but didn't have the money to pay until today.

how accurate is their order tracker? ordered from them last week, still says awaiting courier pickup.

I ordered from them in Jan 2015 and once again 2 days back too. The courier service that served the first order was different from the second one. I didn't have any problem with the first one; the order was delivered within 3 working days. With the second one, it's been just 2 days since the order placed; the status is same as yours - order awaiting pick up.

Id say they got pretty busy when the 20% discount came about. How many of us here on this thread were waiting around for a discount!?

Mantis Toboggan · 03-03-2015 11:57AM

I've found that prices have risen on the website over the last year. Even with the 20% off the 7 euro delivery charge negates any savings. Need to be ordering over 100€ worth to make it worth it.

Barlin are just arrange the delivery on your behalf. DHL are the shipping company. I've never had an issue with DHL, in fact I usually get a call off them if I don't answer the door and the leave it in my porch for me once I give the all clear.

show me anywhere that is as cheap

ED E · 03-03-2015 02:13PM

If you're having issues with couriers I cant recommend the Aftership app highly enough. Every time the status of your tracking no changes it gives you a notification so you're on the ball when they try and sneak a missed delivery passed you.

none of the codes are working for me at all......
