Title: GM Original Duplex Wheelie Cricket Bag
Post by: peristocle on March 13, 2015, 11:54:07 AM

Is this right?

Would be a good price for the bag if true

Its sports direct. they have sold plenty of stuff at a loss before, so i imagine the price is correct

Looks like last years model wheelie bag.

I have this bag, it's really good
Very big with lots of different sections so you can keep your kit organised
Absolute no brainer at that price, they were £90

Nice bag and great price, not the latest version.  A guy at nets last night had one and fully loaded they are massive - great if you are a keeper or travel with lots of kit.

Awful if there's less than an acre of space in the dressing room though!  ;)

I was planning on getting one of these but they are well more expensive compared to the GM

At 30 I think it is worth a pop. could even replace it after a season without it breaking the bank

Might have to take a punt on the bat too, as it can always be returned through Amazon

I've looked at videos on YouTube and it doesn't look that big really, I think I'll save my money (I'm skint as it is)

The bag and bat seem like bargains to me.  The pricing seems strange though as I looked through the rest of their items for sale on Amazon and there's a GM Octane 606 for £304.99?!

Tempted to buy bag and bat.  No mention anywhere of bat size on listing that I can see?

Tried to get the bag but Amazon wouldn't ship to USA. Needed 3 bags.

Took a punt on a bat and a bag. Let's see what turns up?

I ordered two of these on Friday and this morning I have received two 606 wheelie bags, why (No Swearing Please) bother sending items that are clearly wrong, so annoying. Has anybody ordered and received the correct items?

Will be doing the same as soon as payday rolls around

thats pants but not unexpected for SD....

wonder whether the bats they were advertising are actually 909s or they got the number upside down.... ;)

I wish I had applied the old adage that if something looks to good to be true then it probably is, oh well live and learn, at least now I know that not only will I never step foot inside a sports direct, I will also never be troubling their interweb sales again.

Bearing in mind the advert shows the Duplex and the text describes it and you have paid what they ask then surely you have a case for demanding they provide what they advertised?

Have you contacted SD about this - what did they say?
Title: Re: GM Original Duplex Wheelie Cricket Bag
Post by: mcgill123 on March 16, 2015, 11:12:23 AM
they conveniently don't have a contact number so I have sent them a salty email which will probably take them a week to respond to and when they eventually do they will likely inform me that there is a clause in their t and c's that allow them to wriggle out of honouring the transaction.
Title: Re: GM Original Duplex Wheelie Cricket Bag

Yeah, know what you mean - but Amazon may take a dim view of misleading adverts.....

How about this one from SD for a great contradiction in the title- how can it be G3 if it is a 909 which GM says is  "Unbleached seasoned Grade 1 English Willow"  :o

The people writing these adverts really dont have a clue.

Hi mate,  you had any reply from them yet?

Make sure you don't order.  Some major issues with their listings on Amazon.  I also received a 606 wheelie bag and although the Icon 909 bat I ordered has not arrived yet, the invoice that came with the bag shows that I ordered a Six6 404 bat?!!!  >:(
Title: Re: GM Original Duplex Wheelie Cricket Bag
Post by: Chalkie on March 16, 2015, 10:32:20 PM

Assuming people have ordered these items previously and received something different, I don't understand why they haven't written a review that explains that to warn other people viewing these offers??

Good point. Do a search on SD and then I think there will be mixed reviews I'm afraid. The problem is the old saying of 'if it's too good to be true, it usually is' because actually 'it isn't always!' and they do deliver, or at least they did for me. I got those Slazenger Aeros super cheap and I'm really chuffed.

While these prices do fail the too good to be true test, in the past Sports Direct has not had these issues - well not that has been reported on here that I remember. I am quite surprised.
As they are a UK retailer - you will at least be able to get all your money back and return the item
Title: Re: GM Original Duplex Wheelie Cricket Bag
Post by: Chalkie on March 17, 2015, 11:17:43 AM
The prices did look a great deal - but as for "too good to be true" they have done some amazing discounts in the past and the stock was low on the bat so could have been real.

Anyway it looks like they made a mistake as they have just changed the description and photos for both items
