Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread

Worst merch store ever.

Forever going in there to spend money and the stock range/availability is a disgrace. Continually walking out empty handed.

Just about the only thing the club needs to fix to be honest...

And they don't seem to care, this is the feeling I get asking about sizes when I have made the visit home

I thought the magpies emblem was going on one end on the scarf shown below

That scarf wasn't the final design. I think the club just posted it to see what people thought of it on twitter. From what I know most people made suggestions to have a Magpies logo as well, and to get rid of the 'they will' and just have NTUA. The club is apparently making getting them made but I don't know what design they decided to go with in the end.

Strange. I havent had a bad experience with the megastore. Every time I've been in there they've helped me with what I've needed, and have answered tons of my probably stupid questions.

I think the megastore is awesome. We sell a shitload of merch these days so stocks run low pretty quickly. Sometimes it must be hard to forecast how quickly certain items will sell. Not to mention they're always happy to take merch suggestions on board from us. Not many clubs will just go out and get something made because a few supporters asked them to.

Website offers a far smaller range of apparel than in store...really irritating. I live on the Fleurieu, can't make it to the store often. Have missed out on quite a few items of clothing I would have snapped up. I am sure my hubby is reading this and heaving a sigh of relief.

They troll us with the "more stock due in 2 weeks" responses.

Phone and they'll check,

They always seem to be sold out of everything.Now the cold times have really hit.I want a zip up jacket with sponsors names on it like Kenny wears but they keep telling me they are coming...so is Christmas.
I guess the club are making a bucket load of money and never visioned the sales they have had. I know they don't want to overstock otherwise there are too many half price sell offs at seasons end.

Actually another gripe I have is there packaging and handling price. I live many kilometres from Adelaide and buy stuff online. Most recently I bought my Son and 1870 hoodie and a fortnight later I bought the wife the grey PAFC hoodie.
I am a member so I got about $3-$5 dolars off of each item.Thats neither here nor there but then they hit you with a $12.00 I think it was?Packaging and handling price to send it to you. I paid it with no worries as money goes to Port.But plenty of people would baulk at that idea and by stuff down the local sports store cheaper. They come in one of those normal Post office bags.Not as if it is registered mail or anything.
Many places you buy clothes online the postage and packaging is free.Just a tad greedy I thought.

I gotta jump on the 'megastore is shit' bandwagon.

I really have never had much problem with that place with the service but the actual product quantity is a serious issue.

I asked at Adelaide Oval in about round 5 where the official media polos were and they said they were out but would be in within 2 weeks. It is now round 15 and they still dont have them.

What the F@#× is going on down there.

Seriously at the end of the day i can understand that the club doesnt want to buy in excess and get caught out with stock but to be only just mid season and to basically have zero for offer on the website and extremely poor range of options and sizes (and even cheap ripoffs of the media polo and the like) is just a joke.

If they had the items in stock i know i would have bought the Big rain jacket, a media polo and one of those cool preppy pleather/wool jackets. Thats just one fan willing to spend 500, imagine how many others there are.

What makes it even worse is that the really poor range of choice and sizes means when you walk into that store it feels like it is Armaggeddon and everyone is trying to stock up before others do and they miss out on vital supplies! It's really disappointing.

 

[finbarr]

There were never any of these problems when Anton ran the place.

 

[Winestoppable]

Even when Anton ran the gearshop we had the same issues. Along with membership, Isn't that where "2 Weeks" grew legs.

Had a brief look yesterday, swings and roundabouts sometimes with the prices etc. The only thing I didnt like was the fact it says you may not get your first bill for 6 months....that will be a whopper!

 

[5107power]

6 months?? What the? Well hope my solar panels do their job properly then!

Yes I did and used the voucher a couple weeks ago. Takes about 6 weeks for you to get the voucher after you sign up. They recommend you use the voucher in store rather than online. There was a bit of a glitch online that even if you select to pick up from the store it was still charging a delivery fee. You will still get a member discount with the voucher as well.

When I went to the store though it was a bit light on for stock unfortunately. I must be a pin head as well, those new Era caps were not much of a fit for me... Even the smallest ones.

My whinge exactly. I love the baseball/varsity jackets with the teal sleeves and teal 'P' I have seen people wearing recently. They have not been on the shop app at all. I called the club to see if they had a ladies 10, prepared to pay postage to get what I wanted...only 1 jacket left in stock, size 18. They had no answer re why they were never offered on the website and said they were not getting anymore in. Could not source one anywhere, have since bought same jacket with no letter/logo from a German seller on eBay. Money that could have gone to the club. Grrrr.
