  • Be prepared to wait for delivery.. I ordered a few bits before new year and they came in three separate deliveries with the last arriving just a few days ago

  • Most of the time your ordering through them not from them just like secret sales and secret escapes. Their site get more traffic than many of the brands they host get on their own. Rapha and Huub seem to be having the same sale at the same time. I don't think a set number of orders need to be placed but the brands have a deal with sport pursuit to host the sale for a week, two or a month and the brand hopes to have sold out their dead stock by that point and either ship at the end of the sale or when they've sold out whichever comes first. That explains the wait and if you get stuff in separate deliveries that's because they often come from direct from the company not sportpursuit which is why returns are often direct to the brand. Different brand sales end at different times so shipping times are staggered good news is there's only a £5 flat p&p fee regardless of how many separate items are being sent. It's a great site for genuine bargains though and my go to for anything outdoorsy just not good if you need something last minute. Thats also why you can't chose express, 1st class, second class delivery etc only flat rate postage and only ships once the sale has finished. As Saffron said they own a few brands though which are always on sale just like Tk maxx and Sports direct with fictitious rrps but they're fairly easy to spot its usually the brand names like Charles Williamson selling generic polo shirts or something but if your looking at Saucony or Bombtrack the rrps for those are genuine and there will usually still be somewhere online advertising it for that.
