I have 4 items in my bag, went to checkout and was charged 7.99 delivery. When did it increase to 7.99

I was offered delivery at 14.99 by Barlin, so I went through Parcel Motel.

The odd thing is, if you are using ebay, the description tells you it is 4.99 delivery to the UK but then it just applies 7.99.

Yesterday I began to order 2 pairs of running pants from their UK ebay shop front and I was going to use Parcel Motel:

The pants were 12 pounds each so it was coming in a 24 pounds plus 7.99 for delivery = 32 pounds. Converted that is ~45 euro.

I decided to check on their .ie site and the order came in at 14.40 euro per pair of pants plus 6.98 euro Barlin delivery - so 35.78 euro in total. Quite a difference!!

I swear it came up 14.99 for normal and 24.99 for express, so I opted for Parcelmotel and my order was close to €100.

Yes, I simply wanted to use UK delivery as I use Parcel Motel not to save money on delivery (although it usually does) but because I am not home in the daytime to take delivery. I diverted this one to my job but I dont like to do that too often.

I always seem to miss the codes by a day or two.

The problem for me on Sports Direct is that the stuff keeps adding up without me even thinking. I went to buy a few things the other day and it came to a hundred quid. Just like that. I think I'll wait for a deal.

Yeah same here I ordered some stuff I needed for holidays - walking shoes and trekking pants - was happy to pay the express delivery. Those were the delivery prices quoted. Still a bargain. Ordered Monday arrives Wednesday.

Juxtapose · 01-07-2015 03:42PM

any new codes?

looking to put in an order but the delivery price is putting me off!

Bravestaar · 01-07-2015 06:31PM

I have an order ready but waiting on a decent discount.

ED E · 03-07-2015 02:35PM

A little OT (sorry) but the boardsies of this thread might know, anywhere to get a rake of tshirts cheap? I've shed a few pounds and am looking to downsize the wardrobe. The ideal would be Tshirt Hell designs + SD pricing. Any ideas?

Allyall · 08-07-2015 04:55PM

Crap...

Really isn't worth it without the codes or free shipping.

I bought 3 pairs of Firetrap jeans................

All should've been the same sizes, but were weird sizes in different ways (crotch/leg/waist).

€5.99 to ship here.
€17.49 to return.

I asked for exchange. They said Out of stock and refunded me for the items.

So I'm down €23.50 and have nothing to show for it

.
Only using places that offer free returns from now on.

Congrats on the downsize!

I'm thankfully on a similar trajectory, but haven't reached my final destination so I'm still pretty happy to just buy t-shirts in penny's (starting at €2.50 or something)

You could also try M&M Direct? They have some branded Tshirts (Jack & Jones) for around €7 or €8 at the moment. Try here

I agree and I also disagree.

If you know what you are buying and sure of sizes then it's a great site, like you I bought firetrap shorts and to say I was left disappointed was an understatement. They had firetrap labels on them but didn't have the feel of firetrap quality, sent them back and requested different item and it was ignored and I got a refund instead, down postage but a lesson learned, be very careful what you buy from here and be fairly sure you know sizes in advance ie had similar product before and are sure of size being ordered.

Sportdirect are know for buying up well known brand names and then lashing that brand name on very poor quality clothing (Slazanger, Dunlop, etc)

Mike Ashley owns those brands

Of course, and Newcastle United etc etc

RayCon · 09-07-2015 09:58AM

I've noticed that once SportsDirect start selling certain brands that were once known to be decent (i.e. Firetrap, Sonnetti, Soul Cal, Kangol, Vision etc) - the quality drops off a cliff.

I think Ashley's business model is buy the brand, switch production of the product to the lowest cost materials and workmanship, stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap via his Sports Direct network.

Welcome to capitalism.

Here's hoping for another code soon.... I'm thinking after the Wimbledon final maybe (rackets crossed

)

Casey78 · 09-07-2015 11:44AM

Some of the Lonsdale stuff like the polo shirts are excellent quality IMO.
I find the Slazenger tops don't last very long until they look beat up but most Lonsdale stuff I have is still looking good after many washes and wears.

Couldn't agree more, Firetrap in particular

Gatling · 09-07-2015 01:36PM

Never had a problem with any of the brands on sd ,regularly spend €150 on orders from tshirts jeans and runners or boots .
Always have been very satisfied with the bargins.
Couldn't really be bothered who owns them or what business model they employ .

GvidoR · 09-07-2015 01:39PM

I'm also hoping for a coupon code. I want a new hockey (not field, just to clear that up) stick. :P
