Bought myself a road bike maybe 3 weeks ago solid as a rock was 200 compared to circa 450 in any shops here. Was delivered within 3 days no mug tho! Got it for 1€ delivery too!

vicwatson · 20-05-2013 11:55pm

So guys and gals are the bikes well packed??

Self assembly on the bars and pedals I guess??

Any 10% off codes knocking around please ?

fangee · 21-05-2013 6:14am

Hi,

I'm going to join and open an account today.

Does anybody know if they will deliver to an address that it different to the one associated with the card ?

For example, my debit card is registered to my address but I want them to deliver to a family friend that lives in a different part of the country ?

PS. any codes for first time orders or in general ?

I get deliveries to my work address, so I wouldn't see any problem

Thanks.

Now all I have to do is order.

Been on the website for an hour now. Taking AGES to load items when I click on them.

Is that normal behaviour for the website ?

Just had to slot in and tighten the handlebars and the pedals. Saddle and front wheel had to be fixed on and that was that.
I started cycling yesterday, went back today and nearly gave in after about a minute. Brave soldier that I am, I went for 30 minutes. Can just about sit down...

Ouch !, it gets easier !

Are they well boxed up?

Still need 10% off code fellow boardsies !

21-05-2013 2:59pm

Yes, both bikes were well packaged in their original, unopened boxes and had those plastic tapes (like you see on bales of briquettes) around them. Sorry, I don't have a code for you, the one I found expired April 30.

chopsey · 21-05-2013 4:41pm

placed my first order with Sports direct last week and to be honest i'm not at all happy with them.

firstly i spotted a coouple of items and placed an order all went well, later that day i spotted a few other things which i could'nt add to my previous order even though it wasnt dispatched or anything, i decided not to buy the second lot as i would have had to pay for double the shipping.

secondly, i get an e-mail a few days later to say one of my items has been dispatched so i go online to check my account and the other item (the runners i really wanted) was temporarily out of stock so i paid 4.99 shipping for a shirt that cost 8 and to be fair is probably worth 4.

i think i really should have been given the opportunity to select somethig else or to cancel the order completely if the items that i was allowed to purchase had suddenly become out of stock? i think its bad form on their behalf? am i just spoilt by other online stores?

anyone else had any issues like this?

Ethan Edwards · 21-05-2013 5:05pm

Hi folks has anyone bought adidas tennis runners from sports direct ? Hows the size in them ? I bought adidas golf shoes for the auld lad a while a go and he says they are bit tight fitting and that a half size bigger would be perfect. The tennis runners do not come in half sizes tho.

For the record I have got 2 free monster mugs from them :cool:

I always go half/ one full size up on the adidas footwear.
I am normally a size ten, but from experience with adidas and tight fitting, i go up a bit in size to allow a bit of room.

It's maybe worth checking Adidas Irish website too and check their size guide against sportsdirect's Adidas size guide as in my experience sportsdirect have the wrong Adidas sizes in their size guide on their website. The Adidas website should be the one to go with methinks

They should be the same size as any addidas shoes here.

I do find addidas shoes(expecially boots) tighter fitting than most though.

Would anyone have any ideas on how to go about getting a pool table shipped from sports direct? It says mainland delivery only so that rules out parcel motel also

Thanks

blahblah06 · 22-05-2013 12:56pm

LOL you be taking the piss shipping that to parcel motel

Cantona's Collars · 22-05-2013 1:10pm

Can't you arrange a pick up at their (parcel motel) depot?

Ha, priceless, you must have been spoilt before because you have very little to complain about.

vicwatson · 22-05-2013 2:18pm

Right lads and lassies, I'm putting in an order of over €100.00 tonight.

Now don't go giving me a 10% off voucher code tomorrow (I need it by tonight instead please, come onnnnn ;-0 )

That's their policy, if item is not in stock at time of processing order then they cancel that item, you agree to these terms (or should read them anyhow) before you order.

Sunny Dayz · 22-05-2013 6:11pm

Was totally in love with the huge mug I got with my first order. I renamed it my study mug cos I would fill it with tea for hitting the books and it would keep me going for a while (I'm a divil for interupting with tea breaks). But when I make tea last night the mug cracked the whole way down the side and across the bottom, emptying hot water all over the counter.

deegs · 22-05-2013 7:40pm

Will I Amnt · 23-05-2013 10:52am

Everybody is obsessed with these mugs.
They're impractical if you ask me, the tea does be cold again you get to the end of it :pac:

You can buy the same size mug for 4.99 with a team crest on it. Much better than a sports shop logo plastered across it...

Got my first Order the other day, Last years champions league match ball for €43, they usually reatail for about €100, its niiiiiiccee! Delivery wasreally quick too.

Anyway, also got one of these mugs, and I agree, how could someone consume all that tea or coffee before it gets cold?! Its madness!! Its also a fairly ugly mug, I gave mine to a workmate, he was happy enough with it!

A Law · 23-05-2013 11:55am

Ordered Sunday night, delivered to Dublin Wednesday morning. Very quick.

phasers · 23-05-2013 12:39pm

I use my mug for soup, you can put in a bowl-sized amount but its more portable, fits the bread and makes the soup easier to drink!

Mikeyt086 · 23-05-2013 9:34pm

How is the tea not cold by the end?

a) Make the tea actually hot, not lukewarm.
b) Drink the tea, don't meditate over it.

Now that's the last of the negative talk about the mugs, or I'll become a mod and start banning people.

It won't be the Donnay stuff that you used to know. Like Karrimor, Lonsdale and Dunlop, the Donnay brand was acquired by sportsdirect who now use it to sell cheaper quality goods.

Anyway, cheers for the heads up

Well it was good while it lasted.... Looks like they're no longer offering pound for euro. Just had my basket total jump from €97 to €117 :mad: Switching to GBP shows £97 total. Still great value but can't help feeling ripped off now :rolleyes:
