JD Sports Voucher Codes

History of JD Sports

JD Sports is a sports fashion retailer with a strong high street presence throughout the UK and Ireland. The company was formed in 1981 in Bury, Greater Manchester, where John Wardle & David Makin opened their first store. The two founders gave the initials of their respective first names to the company, creating the unmistakable 'JD' brand.

As international sports manufacturers such as adidas, Nike, Reebok and Puma rose to prominence, JD Sports expanded its operations, opening an outlet in Manchester's Arndale Centre in 1983 and on Oxford Street in London in 1989. Changing fashion trends, which saw more people wear sports and leisure wear in everyday life, helped the firm continue its growth. Eventually, in 1996, JD Sports went public, listing on the London Stock Exchange.

In 2002, the company acquired another 200 stores by taking over First Sport, and three years later, it took over another 70 from the administrators of Allsports. Over the last decade, the group has continued to expand its footprint and its presence on the high street, helping to introduce new trends and meet demand for retro fashion goods.

The company moved into football kit sponsorship in 2008, allowing clubs such as Charlton Athletic, Blackpool and Dundee United to use the Carbrini brand. The following year, JD Sports acquired the world famous rugby heritage brands Canterbury of New Zealand and Kooga Rugby.

JD Sports remains a popular choice for those who enjoy wearing casual clothing and sports leisurewear. Customers can also buy football shirts for Premier League clubs - including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City - plus a range of lower league, European and international teams. As such, there is inevitable demand for JD Sports voucher codes and online promotions, which can offer online discounts on sports-fashion goods from the biggest names in the industry.

Delivery Information

A range of delivery options are available, depending on where the package is going and how quickly it needs to arrive. Standard home delivery in the UK takes between three to five days after an order is placed, costing £3.99 for orders worth less than £60. Larger orders are delivered for free. A next-day delivery service is available for orders placed before 09:00, priced at £5.99. In some cases, a signature may be required to take possession of delivered goods. International deliveries require four to 10 days, with the cost of each order depending on the destination.

Returns Policy

JD Sports' return policy is clearly outlined for UK customers. Unwanted goods need to be returned within 14 days for a refund, although there's less time pressure if you want to exchange items - this is permitted for up to 28 days. The company accepts free returns to its stores nationwide, upon the presentation of a dispatch note, providing customers have paid by credit or debit card. However, it does not accept orders paid by PayPal back in store, and the same goes for Collect From Store orders delivered to alternative collection points. It's possible to organise courier collection for goods to be returned using the myHermes service. Customers can also make their own arrangements through any postal carrier, although JD Sports recommends using one which offers a 'Certificate of Posting'.

Security & Reviews

JD Sports takes website security very seriously and treats personal and credit card information as being highly confidential. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology is used to safeguard banking details and personal details are not passed on to parties outside the retail group. However, you may still receive regular marketing emails from JD Sports, unless you actively opt out from such communications.

Many consumers who have used the JD Sports website have left positive feedback on review websites including TrustPilot, which is encouraging. Some have reported customer experience difficulties, but it is worth considering that those who are unhappy with their purchase are more likely to post online reviews than those who are satisfied or happy.
