Write to them through the postal system and inform them to up their prices considerably to provide proper excessive packaging.

I blame this thread for the shocking amount of money I have spent on this site recently

slave1

I've been using SD for a few years now and have to say everything has been 100% re orders and what I got, the odd time they delete stuff if it's out of stock and don't charge me so all good.
I suppose given the increase in volume there will be some blips.

Oh very good. Take you long to think that one up???:rolleyes:. Funny how some people, i.e. you, cannot accept opposing views. Sorry to interrupt your "love in" with SportsDirect. However if I was stumbling across this thread for the first time, I'd like to see a balanced viewpoint, and know that there are problems with some deliveries being delayed, going missing, turning up with packages ripped open etc etc. And that's not just my opinion, the DHL courier has told me that a lot of packages from the likes of SD are in bits when DHL receive them and hey have to repackage them.

Btw, If you call a bin bag excessive packaging, you must work for a certain "no frills" airline. Even if they wrapped some more packing tape around their bin bag, it might manage to get delivered in one piece.

Dunlop golf trousers fit as described, probably because they come in waist and leg dimensions, light so perfect for the summer (whenever we get one!)

Be wary of the Dunlop golf shorts

While the waist size is a bit on the small size the leg is way too tight ,it catches on the thigh and I have slim legs ,I'd hate to see someone with big legs they would look like the incredible hulk.

Best thing to do is go to Sports Savers/Heatons & try the stuff on,they are the same as Sports Direct.If it fits then order from Sports Direct for half the price.

Reebok punch bag with mitts €10 http://www.sportsdirect.com/reebok-punch-bag-with-mitts-762484

Ordered a road bike for my boyf last night. He wants to take up cycling and couldn't believe the prices as the cheapest he had seen in Halfords was €400. Jaw further dropped when I said it was only €1 postage from the UK!! :D

He's now just wondering will he get a mug of his own (though he has called ownership of my mug already!)

Sports Direct site is dangerous as soon as I ordered his bike I had to log out as I was starting to shop for more stuff for myself!

6 emails to their customer service (normal "contact us" account and "paypal@sportsdirect") about missing items from my second order and zero response. Latest i.e. third order, turned up this morning ripped open and items inside were dirty, I.e. looked like they were dropped into a puddle.

I know SportsDirect are cheap, but out of three orders, only the first turned up all present and correct, half the second order was missing and the third (4 pairs of chinos/jeans) will all need a run through the washing machine before I can wear them. Would it kill them to actually package orders properly, even if it cost an extra couple of euro?? I don't know about the rest of you but all my orders were wrapped in a bin bag, and a flimsy one at that.

I think it's fair to say DO NOT RELY ON RECEIVING A RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICES AT SPORTSDIRECT AS THEY ARE DIRT/INEFFCIENT.

I waited 3 weeks for a reply

Sent back some items to SD last week, Norn Ireland jersey instead of Rep of Ireland ffs, but have heard nothing from them yet.
How long usually for returns and do they e-mail you when they receive it?
Didn't send it registered post, is this an issue?

Calgary22

Will let you know when it arrives next week (hopefully!). The bike he picked had some good reviews which is why he went with it. I hope they are or I'm in trouble with the boyf! Can anyone else say what their bikes are like?

Hi Raddo

Think it was this one 0870 333 9400, got it from the Money savings expert website, rang from work so I can't check until Monday.

ShagNastii

Am sure somebody mentioned the links with Mike Ashley (Newcastle chairman)

I thought it was funny there are 1057 Newcastle FC items and 172 Man Utd FC items.
