    I've been getting things for over two years and never had an issue.

    RE: Sizes.. If you have a SportsWorld near you check out sizes there it is the same company.

    If i'd have known then as My brother got me a pair of these shoes in Heatons in NI but were a tight fit :( but heading back after New Year.

    But i see a hell of a lot cheaper than in store as were £60 1/2 price down to £30 compared to £23.00/€27.60 even before the discount.

    I have emailed them re the overcharge on the delivery (ie being charged E7 instead of E1) - they came back and said they were not going to refund me but have responded with a link to the delivery charge information on the website and a screenshot of same.

    Update
    - they have agreed to refund the difference:
    Please be advised on this occasion I have refunded the extra charged for the delivery, however this has since changed and should now show correct. We do not have any offers on at this point of delivery.
    However it is still showing as 1e for over 100 here so beware:

    My last two orders, both within last three weeks, I got no dispatched email, and on both occasions when I logged on to the SD website to check status of order after 4days, both times it said, awaiting pickup by courier, despite both orders been delivered to me later the same days.

    Same as that, current order is in that state, but if you click track your order it brings you to the Dhl site and that has latest status on delivery

    My current order is still saying that and it has been delivered this morning😄


  • Registered Users Posts: 378 ✭✭Einstein?


    I clicked on track my order, DHL pops up and it says

    Shipment information received, 31st Dec

    Order placed on 28th Dec.

    Do they deliver on Weekends does anybody know? Also do they call the phone number provided? I've placed my work address for delivery and not sure if there's gonna be porters available to collect.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,045 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Well they use DHL and I know down here in Waterford DHL don't tend to deliver at weekends, also, regarding calling beforehand, that depends on the driver, I sometimes get a call, but sometimes I don't.

    Stay well clear.

    Ordered four pairs of jocks. Only one was right.
    One had the security tag attached, the other was the wrong colour and too big and the other one was the wrong colour. This is what your can expect

    Got my order today everything is fine with exception to a pair of runners I ordered in size 9 , they sent me size 8 even though the box says 9! Is there anywhere in Ireland I can bring them to change for correct size ?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,006 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    When you're buying online you have to accept that if you want to check things after you buy it you might have to delay, for example, if you buy a pair of shoes in a shop, say you'll take size 9, check the box in the bag, bring them home and then try them on to discover they are only a size 8, you have to go back to the shop to return them, with the internet you have to post things back to get a refund/replacement, probably 1 of the reasons there's a difference in price between internet and shop prices.

    I had that issue before, I sent them an email and they sent me the price of postage so I could return them.

    Did yours by any chance originate from Leeds UK? My parcel is still stuck there apparently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,290 ✭✭✭prodsc


    Placed an order using IRE20 the discount was shown before I checked out. I saw an email confirming my order which I didn't check until this evening but the discount doesn't appear here!! Nothing has gone through on my CC but I only ordered Dec 30. Order is showing on their system as waiting for Courier collection. Anyone experience the same?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭samhail


    I've put in 3 orders with with the discount code too and when I went back in to my orders, I couldn't see that the discount was applied to any of them.
    I emailed them to confirm, and they said that the code was only applied to one!
    I asked them to refund/credit my account and they said no.

    Not happy with them.

    Never heard a complaint about them till they opened their dedicated Irish site.

    Where do you enter the code?

    EDIT
    Ah found it! bottom option on the payment screen in with the credit cards etc.

    Worked for me!

    did you hear anything back? the exact same happened to me, obviously im not happy at all either as there still advertising 20 % off sale.

    Nope... don't expect anything else to be honest.
    They don't seem to care about an online customer... and with the prices they have I'd be cutting off my own nose not using them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭bailey99


    So if the code applies and you go to the credit card charge they cannot legally charge you more so argue your case and they have to deal with you and charge you the quoted price.

    Otherwise, it's like going to a shop and paying €100 by credit card and then you get your statement and the shop changed the amount to €125. Would you do something about this happening??? Of course you would.

    At final checkout, you are agreeing to pay a certain price. End of.


  • Registered Users Posts: 869 ✭✭✭crayon80


    If you put in the code and continue shopping it may be gone when you go back to pay, I've often needed to put it in a few times.

    I'm not getting all the problem with Sportsdirect and their customer service, I've never had a problem with them, in fact there was a slight problem with a recent order (really something trivial) and they gave me £5 back as a good will gesture.

    Same here, great site and Customer Service. Though most of the complaints here are people expecting miracles with delivery.


  • Registered Users Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Moyglish


    Anyone else get overcharged on delivery fees?

    Their website states that orders over €100 only have to pay €1 for delivery.

    I spent well in excess of this and was charged €7 for delivery.

    Emailed them to see about getting this €6 refunded and I got this response:
    The prices listed on the Help section of the website are the minimum delivery charges to which we endeavour to supply the best delivery charges to ALL our customers.



    <http://www.sportsdirect.com/CustomerServices/etailfaqs/worldwidedeliverycosts>



    These amounts are provided as estimates only and additional charges may be incurred dependent upon the size weight and value of the goods. The actual delivery charges will be calculated for you on the checkout pages prior to acceptance of your order.

    No contract is formed till the goods are dispatched, just FYI.

    However Long Distance Selling regulations means that they shouldn't have a leg to stand on regarding giving you your money back provided the goods are unused etc.

    I would like to say a BIG thanks to Sports Direct for sending me a pair of trainers with 2 odd trainers in the box....fecking idiots that work for them, thats the second time the fcuked up in a month with my order....:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 378 ✭✭Einstein?


    All items (10) arrived today. Very happy with the quality, and all for a bargain price of EUR 80. Considering I placed my order on the 28th, and it arriving today - I'm not too shabby. DHL did make a mistake though and so technically the order should have arrived earlier.

    I'm a general L size, and all clothes fitted nicely. Thanks OP and others.

    Thanks OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭Funky G


    Ordered just before the new year and my 2 pairs of runners came in via dhl on monday just gone.

    Code worked for me fine.

    €7 delivery though but not that bothered.

    Happy with my purchases.

    I know sportsdirect get bad press for their customer service, but just posting here to give them a thumbs up on this occasion.

    Made an order last week, was pending dispatch, then received an email to say 1 of my items ( the main item I wanted ) was out of stock and cancelled from my order, but the rest of the order would ship.
    I contacted them to say the cancelled item was the main item I wanted and I didn't want the rest of the order.
    Emailed customer service ,got a reply within a couple of hours , they gave me the option to cancel the full order. Full refund , no hassle, sorted within a couple of hours and money back in my account.
    I have now placed another order and they cant be beaten for value through the years. The 7 euro postage is a bit of a stinger, but at the prices for the goods, you cant really complain.
    One jacket I tried on in sportsworld in Ireland was 40 Euro, got it for 13.99 on sportsdirect.

    It's finished so.

    Google around and see can you find another code, their might be a free delivery one knocking around mayb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭firestarter51


    they are doing a thing now where you can claim £10 cashback
    its a scam
    they charge a nominal fee of 1.95 then 14.95 per month to join a club

    just thought i would say in case someone fell for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,027 ✭✭✭jpb1974


    I used the IRE20 code this morning and it was fine.

    I just did a test and it is still working for me -> "The voucher has been applied: IRE20 - You Get 20% Off"
