How quick are sportspursuit at posting stuff ?
Might be a better place to buy my sporty young nephew/s something for Xmas.
I see under armour is pretty much half price on some ideal items, but not if its going to be a long delivery time.
Slightly unhelpfully, it depends. Some of their sales they wait for the sale to close completely before sending stuff out, others are immediate dispatch. On each item it does have a delivery estimate which from my experience is pretty accurate.
In my experience the dates they give are accurate, and I’ve bought a lot from them.
+1 for their estimated dates being accurate (even though it's often 2-4 weeks for the stuff I buy, although it's quite nice having the odd delivery arrive for something you'd forgotten you'd ordered.

It's variable. They're basically an end-of-season clear-out business/agency - big brands use them as an efficient way of flogging off the spare stock they have left at the end of each selling season. Sometimes SP handles the distribution as well, other times it comes direct from the brand, so it depends on the model and efficiency of the shipper. But as above, although projected despatch times can be weeks - or days - I've found them broadly accurate.
Their 'own brand' stuff - Fjern, Rivello, etc - turns up pretty quickly usually, other stuff depends on the individual brand and shipper. It's impossible to generalise beyond that though their customer service, ime, is good.
I ordered a set of running shoes and had to wait weeks. Apparently being shipped from outside UK .. not sure they will be my 1st choice next time.
As others have said the estimates are pretty good. I'll only add that I don't think I've ever had anything arrive after the estimated date, and most things arrive earlier. I ordered a couple of Bolger merino t-shirts on Wednesday evening last week and they arrived on Friday.
I was going to buy a raincoat from them earlier this year. Delivery estimate was 4 weeks, but when i came back a few days later to actually place the order, it had slipped back to 5-6 weeks. I got it from somewhere else in the end.
Items with a little lorry icon on them are quick delivery, couple of days usually. The rest have an estimated date.
+1 on 'it depends'. Even from the same sale some stuff they clearly have in stock, some is 'with supplier'
