Sports Direct - rip off

50Twuncle

Do you know of any other store that tries to charge buyers £4.99 to deliver to their own store ?
I was looking for a specific item - that Sports direct doesn't have in stock locally - but lists on line, and surprise, surprise - if I pay £4.99 - they can get it delivered to their store......
No Thanks

I think Debenhams have the same policy

John Lewis charge £2 if the order is less than £30 in value.

And from their help page


"Every time you use our Click & Collect delivery service and collect your parcel from our own stores, you'll receive a £5 voucher to spend in store, you'll be given your voucher by our store staff when you collect your parcel."

If you don't like a shop's policies, you are at liberty to give your custom to another store.

I sometimes buy online from Sportsdirect and have the order delivered to store as I find it more convenient than waiting for home delivery - but only when I'm 100% sure that I won't need to return as I don't like their returns policy.

I don't mind the £5.00 voucher as it has a very long expiry date and there is usually something in store that I want. OH goes through golf umbrellas like a dose of salts.

Like most posts alleging con, scam or rip-off, I can see no rip-off here.

So they charge a fee, a fee that is clearly shown before someone has to make a decision to buy from them.
Where is the rip off?

I don't see any rip off, most stores charge for delivery, if you are happy to pay for delivery to your home then why not to an alternative address.


I always chose a store delivery, its easier when you work you don't have the inconvenience of asking a neighbour to take in the parcel and can collect at your leisure.



Sport direct you get a voucher for the postage charge back.

Maybe do more research before slagging a company off (I'm not saying that Sportsdirect are a great company :cool:) but maybe you should amend your thread title to show that it's not actually a rip-off.
