Thanks for the link.

They have the Gels I use at a better price than I have been paying

The lunarglides are cheaper than what I get them for from wiggle, even with my platinum discount. If I didn't already have 5 or 6 pairs of runners on the go I'd buy some.

I'm actually tempted to try a pair, but they don't have my size

Rainbow Kirby i went on to there site looking to see if they had a hr monitor for the garmin they didnt because they didnt sell them seperate six days (would of been four as i emailed them on a sat) later with some correspondence i got my hr monitor. they sold it 20 euro cheaper than in the shops. You should email them and see if they will have your size soon, they are very helpful

Just after getting new pair of Nike Air Pegasus for €65 delivered to me from my friends at www.sub4.ie
Fantastic value and speedy delivery! Well pleased. They're doing a great job! Definately worth a look...

I think their prices are pretty competitive (particularly gels and hydration belts). Would be great to see some Mizuno shoes in their range. Postage on the other hand, not so good. SIS Starter pack(delivered): Wiggle: €10.84, Sub4: €21.98.
I want to order from you, I really do. But you're making it so very difficult.

Hi everyone, Eoin from Sub4 here,

We've been keeping an eye on this Sub4 Thread over the last few weeks so many thanks for all your comments and feedback.

Keeping our customers/potential customers happy is our number 1 priority so we've done our best to respond to everything that has been raised.

1. We reduced shipping costs on our SIS range by up to 50% and also reduced the cost of the SIS Energy pack.

Comparing us to Wiggle though is not a fair comparison as Wiggle is a UK company with a turnover of £33million which naturally leads to massive purchasing power discounts for them. We are doing our best to compete though, operating off very small margins across our range to try and attract people to the store.

2. We've also amended the address fields to make them more user friendly for all.

Don't hesitate to get in touch regarding anything else we can help with as you guys will ultimately determine the success of our new business.

The dream is to become the Irish version of Wiggle so we'll try our best to do so by offering excellent value and quick reliable delivery service to our customers.

"Keep on Running"

Eoin

Good stuff Eoin, and thanks for responding to customer feedback. I wasn't comparing you to Wiggle, I was comparing the price of one of your products, which in this instance, just didn't work out (by more than 100%). I'm looking forward to supporting your products and services, as soon as I find something I need at a price-point that makes it worthwhile. I would much rather buy from a local Irish company, particularly a startup.

Would you consider offering customers the opportunity to pick up their product, instead of paying postage?

Getting back to a few points from today regarding Sub4 - all feedback much appreciated...

1. NT - Trisuits/Wetsuits is something we have looked at and hope to supply soon. We are official suppliers of 2XU so this will probably be the first brand we'll get in. If you would like us to get you a 2xu trisuit, drop me a line at sales@sub4.ie and we'll get one in with our next 2xu delivery as it may be a few weeks before we have our tri-athlon section fully up and running.

2. Krusty - thanks for the good feedback. We are at alot of the races in Dublin (either racing or watching) so please feel free to drop me a line and we'll arrange to supply things to you or anyone else in person with no delivery charge of course.

3. Regarding Mizuno, we are awaiting a response from their supplier here to provide us with their full range so hopefully we'll have them in stock soon as they seem to be a growing brand. Apart from that, I genuinely feel we have a excellent range of runners available from the three leading brands, Asics, Nike and Adidas. We are also hoping to get racers and track spikes in over the coming weeks so that will add to the selection.

Another new fan here, ordered the Asics 2150 on Monday and they arrived today. Emailed them with a query and a prompt and helpful response as well.

Thumbs up!

Love the name sub4(we can only dream):D

It means sub 4 hour marathon ..... right?!! (ahem!!)

Got an email from Sub4 today. Shipping costs in Ireland now reduced, from €3, max shipping cost now €6 even if buying a number of items. Already great value. Even better now. Happy days!!!

I had been looking for a particular spike for my daughter and after reading the posts here on boards I contacted sub4 and I have to say they were great. They had not got the one's she wanted at this time but went out of their way to point me in the right direction as she needed them asap, brill customer service and I have to say on the basis of first impressions and customer service they are second to none.

Does anybody know is this gone to the wall or is the website just down?

Still very much alive and kicking, our server is down today though, we are on the case with our IT company and trying to resolve asap.
thanks
Sub4 team

quick note to say the site is back up

He used to be cool, but all the power went to his head. he's changed, man.

Apologies "iwishihadalife" for down time at start of week. We had to get work on the site to fix our home page. Back up all week - wish I studied IT programming in college, it would save us having to call in the IT calvary for any IT problems!!
