I'm ordering stuff to be delivered to my address here, which is the same as for the credit card I am using.

I got riled up the last time and wrote them a sarky email asking what more they would like me to do to make an international order...never heard nuffink back so I don't even try now.
Ah so they're probably a waste of time. I'm struggling to make up a big enough Sports Direct order to justify their huge delivery charge so was thinking that JDSports might be a quick and easy alternative.

You can give it a shot, the worst that can happen is they do the same to you!

True. My son isn't desperate for new trainers so I'll get him to choose some tonight and we'll see what happens. I'll let you know the result.

Now, we'll have none of the unaustralian bananas here thank you very much.

They're not nearly as expensive as they were after Larry anyway.

'course not - the Great Australian Public might realise what a nice banana should taste like! Same with apples etc.

We tried jdsports but my son couldn't find any there that he liked. We then had a look on galaxysports. The prices are pretty good so each son chose a pair. Two pairs of trainers + postage = £97 (Postage: £11.95 - same day despatch)

Let's see if we get them now...
