☀ $1 Rock Bottom Prices @ Sports Direct - Plus Free Shipping When You Spend Over $100 ☀
*** I got this deal thru email last night but only had the chance to post the deal this afternoon.
*** Just realized that Reggie74 posted a sportsdirect deal (Free Shipping for Orders $100 and above) a couple of hours earlier than my post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/171063 Kudos to him….
Mod: OP, please do not remove expiry
Down voted for stating the bleeding obvious. I don't even.
didnt stop them from sending me a bag of 164 shorts and shirts LOL sucked in
I've emailed them to check on the progress and this is from SD:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your query.
Your order SDAU4000001171XXXX has been picked and packaged and is awaiting collection by our courier. We have several collections throughout the day and so we expect that you will receive your order within the next couple of days.
Kind regards,
Customer Services
I wonder if this is a generic email as I just emailed them, got an almost instant reply with exactly the same response (apart from the order number of course)
My order is showing as ready to ship with no items being removed or cancelled as yet. It's looking good for being honoured so far despite the apparent restriction in place.
FWIW I ordered 20 $1 items and paid via PayPal.
I had an item cancelled Slaz Jersey Short Sn43 Grey Marl Medium Product Code: 472008/25/390…all others seem okay and status is READY TO SHIP
Can you check the status of the order if you paid as a guest?
I'm worried every item bar one will be cancelled, and I end up paying $10 shipping on one item. That would be a ozbargain fail.
I ordered mine yesterday and it still says Processing..
It's around 6am Monday in the UK.
Ohok, makes sence,
Thanks videoman!
order status: Ready To Ship
Is this just the automatic status once you place your order? Ie. Does anyone's say something different?
Yeah mine says that too although I ordered pretty late.
So I've got a load of gear in my cart… How the hell do you check out from the mobile site?
Bought 20, status processing it's said.
My order is: Ready To Ship ;)
YAY!!!
Received confirmation. Only 2 items Out of stock so will be getting 14 items
7 out of my 8 items just got cancelled - received two seperate cancellation emails (one in morning and one at night).
WTF that means they are making me pay $1 + $10 shipping for one item???
I hope not. If they start doing that to us I suggest we boycott SportsDirect in future. If something ordered is out of stock, they should at least inquire whether we wish to proceed or be refunded. After all, the prices are low because nobody else wanted these goods, which is hardly our fault. They should cease accepting orders when stocks are depleted by employing a highly specialised technical skill called counting. Companies with an online presence in Australia should by now realise that if they want some excess stock blowing out the door, get the price right and OzBargain will help achieve that.
PJC is right, they shouldn't force you to agree with a change of order.
So I suggest you email them as soon as possible to let them know you don't want to proceed if that is the case and request a full refund before they send the package.
I hope they dont try and do something like that to me. or ill ask for a refund followed by a paypal dispute if they decline for whatever reason.
"Quantity exceeds maximum allowed".
All $1 items are getting cancelled.
Many members did not notice the limit of 6 mentioned on the Rock Bottom Prices page. It was easy to miss and was certainly not enforced technically. That is squarely the fault of SportsDirect, and purchasers should not be penalised with a shipping fee which is enforced technically. Nobody here wanted to spend $11 or $12 on 1 or 2 $1 items.
I absolutely agree with this, as I pointed out in my post on the previous page.
I had no issues adding the $1 items (shirts & shorts) in the last few days as my cart was saved & unchanged, but now/today show as a error/maxed limit and then increasing the price to $2 from $1.
Not impressed, trying to decide if I should cancel order.
EDIT 11:10 pm, I just refreshed my cart page now and the maxed/errors are no longer showing with only 1 item showing as sold out.
It looks like they were updating or doing something on the site, as now the shirt which just showed $2 is back to $1 right now.
EDIT 2 I've just notice 1 item is now cheaper than the other day, looks like it paid to not rush into placing a order.
As scuba79 mentioned below the 6 has now been changed to a 24. Hopefully they are only cancelling items if they are actually sold out rather than because of us buying more than 6.
Thanks for that.
Just glanced over this post now.
I will buy tonight.
As anyone had any issues with their orders?
It's pretty bad that they are cancelling all of them instead of keeping 6 on the order.
every single one of my items have this in red yet my order is awaiting courier pick up and. wtf are they shipping if not what i ordered?
My order status is now "Awaiting Courier Pickup"
did you order 6 x $1 items?
I ordered 5 $1 items. Haven't got any confirmation yet.
Edit just checked my account.
I made 2 orders first order was 5 $1 items.
Second order was $78 worth of clearance items. That order was made around 36 hours after the first
$1 items are listed as ready to ship.
$78 worth of items are listed as awaiting courier pick up.
Did you guys check out as a guest? I haven't received any emails apart from the initial order, nothing since.
I haven't received email since either. I think if you now sign up with the same email it will recognise your old order so you can find the details on it.
Nope. I checked out as guest. Created account this morning with same email as I used for Guest and it say No orders.
I had 10 items ordered and paid for.
Must say I didnt ever see the small sized font saying max 6 items until I read a few posts up
I also ordered 3 items as guest on Saturday night (22/11). Haven't received any email except the initial confirmation note but credit card was charged.
Mine says ready to ship, but when I click on order details it says "quantity exceeds maximum allowed" on all order lines.
I ordered 21 items.
No email from them at all.
same here but theyve also processed the paypal payment now and charged my CC for the full amount
Same here. Wonder what they are going to do with the orders as their website does not limit us to 6 items even though its stated in the small writing on the website.
Now says Awaiting Courier Pickup and "quantity exceeds maximum allowed" removed from the order lines.
Must be the new 24 item maximum.
Bought 6 items for $6 (and $10 shipping) so lets see if it gets honored.
Looks as though I will get all 6 $1 items.
Listed as Ready to Ship now.
It says Ready to ship in Green but then when I click on View more details under action heading it says Quantity exceeds maximum allowed.
The full amount has been charged to my PayPal/CC already as well.
Wonder if they're going to honor this deal.
Thought I'd try another order, this time with 6 pcs (I had 10 before).
Got all the way through to Paypal "confirm" page and when it spits you back to the SD site, you get "Nothing in your bag" and Paypal doesn't seem to work.
Have they now blocked further orders?
i had my initial order cancelled. (to many items)
and put through an order of 6 just then!
so dont think they blocked orders

lol just got an email from another mob…what a rip

Tell em their dreaming!
Do you mean "Tell 'em they're dreaming!" ?
:-)
My order of 20 items is now:
Awaiting Courier Pickup
how are you guys tracking it? I can't see my order. Did you all create an account during checkout?
yep
thanks
nup - and cant see a thing. no email since something on monday morning saying a piece not in stock.
just sitting tight. being confident :P
Just got an email
Your order **** has been collected by our courier. Your unique tracking reference number is ***
For those comparing, i upvoted after ordering, and i'm about 1/3rd way down the votes list
how many items do you buy?
13, but only 8 were OPs clearance items
Thanks.
So that's still technically over the 6 items limit.
6 limit was per skew though right?
Just checked my order, it 5 shirts and 5 shorts from the clearance section
It just says "Max 6 Per Customer" on that Rock Bottom Prices page with the various shorts and shirts.
I myself ordered a combination of 5 shirts and 5 shorts as well. My online account says "Awaiting Courier Pickup" but going into the details it shows "Quantity exceeds maximum allowed."
If it's progressing in your case though, then that might be good news for the rest of us.
Ditto. Ordered as a guest on 22nd, not huge numbers, used their site contact to ask about progress. Fast response from their customer service area.
Shopped in one of their London stores mid 2012 - UK summer. Plenty of good quality cheap tees, football gear etc, although not for 57p. The shop was packed both times I went.
i bought 40, current status is waiting for courier pick up
If the status says ready to be shipped and no email was sent about cancellation of some item, does that mean all of the items in my original order will be shipped?
let's hope so!
So I e-mailed Sportsdirect.com customer support about my order, here is their reply:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your query.
Your order SDAU40000011718448 has been picked and packaged and is awaiting collection by our courier. We have several collections throughout the day and so we expect that you will receive your order within the next couple of days.
Kind regards,

I ordered 24 items, so I guess we play the waiting game now.
I got this same email after I emailed them and so did another poster. It almost seems like an automated reply as the response was very quick. I don't know how accurate it is or whether they have a system that can check the order number entered and give an automated status update based on that
It's a generic reply, but its sending was probably initiated manually.
Receive order in next couple of days may be true within UK
Got the same email too after I made an enquiry. Today my credit card was charged full amount so I guess no item was cancelled. Let's see how it goes. I'll be pissed if they send me 1 or 2 items and refund the rest without telling me beforehand. The shipping fee makes it not much of a bargain in that case.
I'd say that's a generic e-mail response as I doubt very much that any of the orders will arrive within the next couple of days!
Hopefully the first to receive will post and let us know when they receive the goods and what they think of them
my order status Awaiting Courier Pickup but when I check my items, under all the clearance items it says "Quantity exceeds maximum allowed." I ordered form each sizes and colors one item. we will see what happen.
Website has been updated, lots more colours of shorts and shirts reduced to $1 and now shows max 24 per customer instead of 6.
Shame the polo shirts are not 100% cotton
Thanks, well spotted. Some of them $4.98 items are now $2 also. Couldn't help myself but buy a few more things.
wow Thanks.
Just wondering if the previous order counts towards the max of 24 items? Or it's a max of 24 every order lol. Probably the former. In that case I probably should have waited because they have more things available at the moment.
Thanks for the heaps up.
Thanks OP, cant believe I'm gonna spend around $130 odd, no I didn't get much of the $1 items, only to cover a size range.
Thanks OP! I just bought some stuff.. Buy now, think later lol
Hope they fit! :)
Does anyone know when this deal ends?
Until all the stocks gone I'm guessing.
My original order has now moved to "Awaiting Courier Pickup" with the excess amount warning now removed. I take it they saw just how many people ordered in excess of the 6 and decided to up it to 24 and fill as many orders as possible.
I just placed another order for some polo's and infants shorts.
I did two orders yesterday. The first is awaiting pickup from courier - this one included some five dollar items. It has the track this order button.
The second is still processing, this one was maximum number of $1 items.
There might be a chance the business is collecting some free money for maybe bridging purpose. Hold all the orders for a month and then cancel and refund.
Anyone have trouble seeing their orders when signed into their account? My orders have vanished!
Same here, but they have suddenly reappeared, check again.
yup, they've returned! false alarm
My order has been updated now and shows up as "Awaiting courier pickup"!
In all fairness though, I won't buy anything they say until the I physically received the goods lol!
Awesome! Just got myself 24 items for $50! Not bad, not bad at all!
I finally received a response to an email I sent them, not just a generic one this time it seems.
Thank you for your email
I have looked into your order and can see this was despatched yesterday to the courier
You can track your parcel by using the link below and inputting your tracking number.
My order is still showing as "awaiting courier pickup" though so I'll give it the 36hrs they say before checking my tracking #.
Thanks OP, bought a stack of t Shirts and shorts delivered for $34!
Apparently mine have been dispatched and are currently at Shirebrook, Great Britain. The parcel weighs 0.6kg which seems a bit light for 6 100% cotton men's XL T-shirts, so I remain unconvinced I shall receive everything.
where did you find the weight of the box…i cant find it in the DHL site tracker
Mine does not seem to involve DHL. Mine is on a website named omniparcel.com
I got about the same as you and it weighs 1.1kg.
They took the full sum of money, so I suppose that is a good sign.
Now it's "Max 24 Per Customer"
Hindsight is a wonderful thing as had I known their next deal was $2 polo shirts I would of held off ordering till yesterday. I placed my order on Saturday of 35 items. It's been 'awaiting courier pick up' since Monday. Hoping the courier picks it up soon!
The people who ordered large amounts won't get their orders as it clearly states at the top of the page that it is 6 items max per person (from the discounted items).
I ordered 6 items from that page so I'm confident I will get everything I ordered.
