has anyone bought any lee cooper clothing ? specifically shirts or tshirts. are they large fitting i.e. is XL more akin to XXL etc.

blastman · 24-03-2013 10:31pm

Just got another order on Friday of ~€65 and still no mug, dammit!! I'm thinking it must be because I've always had shoes in my orders or something, and they'll only ship the mug with clothes to prevent breakages.

On sizing, can anyone advise what Tapout sizes are like (are they on the small or large side compared to other brands)? I was going to get a hoody but was put off because a review said their sizes were on the small side. However I think someone here said they were actually on the generous/large side.

I got a couple of hoodies, one Hardcore one which is tight and a No Fear one which is a perfect fit (both XXL). Go figure. Hope that helps someone, overall I've found the sizing to be about right for me apart from that Hardcore hoody.

.

Only have two large tapout tees which are a big large
fits me fine but theres plenty of room
i'd say around 44inches around the chest would be about right

Yeah the Tapout larges are pretty big. They seem designed for people in decent shape, like I'm too fat for a large but they're nicely snug on the shoulders for me.

I ordered a pair od Adidas Samba trainers and I got a mug, but the handle did break off in transit so it got binned. They just must not like you.

Karen23 · 25-03-2013 12:35am

I didn't get a mug , I got a shopping bag.

Anyone else get a bag ?

Anyone else beginning to wish that sports direct would put the postage back up again? Three orders so far and everytime this thread pops up, I'm back "for a look" at that f€ckin website again! Excellent deals.

It's not the postage its the £ equals € that has me hooked.3 weeks and €500 later i'm still shopping like an auld one.I've presents bought for my kids 10th birthday and she's only 7.Nerf Inline Skates for €3,sure they're giving them away for that price:o

Kashkai · 25-03-2013 9:34am

I went on to their site just to buy a couple of tops for the gym and ended up spending €160 but that was still less than half what I'd have paid here. With the one euro shipping, it's a no brainer. To those who think its too good to be true, this is the one instance where it is a genuine bargain site.

Oh, and I got one of their mini jacuzzis that some call mugs! Flipping huge, almost holds half a litre.

SimmerDean · 25-03-2013 5:45pm

site down for maintenance now when I try it. is this the last of the good deals?

beaver111 · 25-03-2013 5:55pm

ali1971 · 25-03-2013 8:29pm

Thanks for the link to this website. I purchased about £35 worth at the weekend, only realising today that it would have been the same price in euros!!! Do you think I have any comeback with them if I email/phone. Don't really like complaining as I got such good bargains!!

Placed an order yesterday, they reserved money on paypal but no invoice and no orders on sports direct. I have emailed but has this happened to anyone?

recyclebin · 25-03-2013 11:46pm

It wouldn't let me pay with credit card but I eventually got payment through using paypal.

That was about an hour ago.

sweeno69 · 26-03-2013 10:35am

Spent over €200 (2nd order). Arrived yesterday - no mug.

:mad:

The flow of paying for paypal is kind of wierd

You go through the checkout - pick your delivery adress etc
Click to pay with paypal
Sign in and select payment stuff with paypal. click done
You are then returned to the checkout page a second time and need to confirm the order or something

It feels like you are done after finishing the paypal step, but there is definitely another one. If you havent been charged on Paypal and nothing is showing up on sports direct I would just make the order again

Site seems to work but extremely slow.

CuppaCocoa · 26-03-2013 12:52pm

Received my 3rd order this morning and only received a mug with my 1st one. Grateful really, they're hideous! Very pleased with my €4 Disney scooter, good quality and comes in a nice presentation box. That's Christmas sorted for the nephew!

RayCon · 26-03-2013 1:12pm

2nd delivery arrived this morning .... no mug .. not fussed.

sypeons · 26-03-2013 1:21pm

Got my first order today after ordering on Friday, spent 36 euro incl delivery on a shirt, jumper, shoes and badminton racquet.Happy enough with everything except the Lee Cooper jumper which is poor quality and looks worn.Oh and I got the mug also

RidleyRider · 26-03-2013 2:52pm

My third order arrived all well and good

26-03-2013 5:14pm

I see a Disney cars bike for €40??! I'm afraid to order in case its too good to be true? I'm using paypal. Will I have to pay another €40 in some sort of fees and charges before I can get the bike? Thanks in advance.
