Default JD Sports online, if your in a rush for something then don't bother placing an order.

Ive never used JD Sports online before, seen a few things i fancied so i placed an order last Saturday 4th December. If you spend over £25 its free standard delivery, their website states that standard delivery is usually delivered within 3 days.

Anyway, nothing after 3 days. I rang them this afternoon as its 5 days since i placed the order just to find out when the stuff will arrive. Apparently its not even been dispatched yet, no warning on the website to state that they have a huge backlog with deliveries and no email to let customers know this, it seems as though they'd just prefer to keep you in the dark.

He couldn't even guarentee when its going to arrive, i said can you put it on a next day for next week, he said we can't even do that as we have had to cancel next day deliveries as we can't guarentee them.

So if your in a rush for something for xmas as a pressie for someone or just some new gear then don't bother with JD sports online as even they don't have a clue when you will get your order.

They're probably still trying to recover their loss of stock from the chav riots this year.

people do not want to pay for a high quality delivery service they want goods delivered as cheaply as possible, thats why you are waiting all of the cheap couriers are busy.

Yodel are a complete waste of time.

I ordered a laptop 26th November and still don't have it. Apparently they have 'lost' it. Currys are not being much help either as its over a weeks since I called them about it.

Anyway, back on topic, I don't think it's just JD. Iwantoneofthose seems to be struggling too. I ordered something on Thursday and it's not due for despatch until 20th December apparently

This doesn't have anything to do with couriers, JD sports havn't even dispatched the order to the couriers yet so it probably hasn't even been picked.

If a company is snowed under with orders and they know its going to be late when they dispatch them then all they have to do is to put a message on their website saying this, or they can do a mass email to people that have placed orders explaining that they will be late sending them out.

Thats far better than leaving people in the dark, its how a competent business would run itself.
