TuffLuff Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This isn’t anything important but nowhere else to put it really, and emailing the club seems more inane that asking here, but have they stopped selling face coverings in store? Lost mine over Christmas and can’t find them online now which is a mild inconvenience at most, but I’d still like to get one preferably without making a trip. —————- Might as well point out, mainly to stretch out this pointless thread, but the store has actually much improved in recent months!

Ramifications Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I bought a face mask from the shop last week on line and it said, only a few remaining. I know that doesn't really help much. TuffLuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not difficult when you're starting from a very low baseline. I've always thought that there is a cracking little business there if only Derby County FC had a bit more imagination...I was having that conversation with a Rams Fan at the Brunswick pre-WBA and it's a potential gold mine in the right hands.

Ram Logan Josh Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Lost my DCFC facemask somewhere in early December. Ordered another on online from the Megastore on Dec 15th. Cost was more than twice the 'face' value of £4.50 by the time P&P was added. Order was immediately acknowledged by Megastore by email. Another email from Megastore to my email address confirming it had been shipped giving a tracking number and to expect delivery Dec 17th. Nothing happened. Must be the Christmas mail delays. Fair enough. Began chasing it this week. Tracking showed it is still with Hermes. Hermes say I need to contact the vendor. Fair enough. I reply to Megastore's email that said it had shipped and asked them to chase it. Megastore replied to say they couldn't deal with me as the email I was using wasn't the same as the order. Err, it was as I was just replying to their email they'd sent to me! So I reply to Megastore's original email that acknowledged the order and asked them to chase it. Megastore again replied to say they couldn't deal with me as the email I was using wasn't the same as the order. Err, it was as again I was just replying to their email they'd sent to me! Useless! I'll give it another 48 hours... RLJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think there’s a lot of opportunities they’ve missed out on in recent years under Morris to be honest, remember getting a bit of stick on here for suggesting so a few times. As I understand megastore, catering we’re all outsourced on bog standard contracts to companies providing a bog standard service. Which was ok, but it tends to mean you’ll be ripped off for a £4 bottle of carlsberg. The example I’ve always said is that Derby/Derbyshire has a lot of good breweries but we’ve never looked to have a Derby County beer. Sheffield Wednesday and United each have a Thornbridge one, they sell it at a decent price at Hillsborough and fans actually go for a pre match pint there to drink, so you are getting fans to the stadium earlier (although Wednesday may not be the greatest example to use all things considered!) As a wider point, I think Derby have missed out on a few things in terms of being involved in the local business community but it’s maybe an debate for another time. With the megastore, I ended up using it a few times in the first parts of the pandemic, partly because ‘every little helps’ and whilst it wasn’t ‘poor’ it was rather limited which only got worse until just before Christmas this time. As I said yesterday, it has improved a bit now and they’ve got a few decent bits in and plenty of stock. Just no bloody masks. But it’s a small reason I want to see Appleby get the club because he was someone (along with Rush and Vicars back then), that you used to see around Pride Park and walking round the megastore, ticket office etc, i think they probably have a bit more of a hands on approach to these things than what Morris had.

Absolutely. And Thornbridge beer is Derbyshire’s though the plastics in South Yorkshire believe the Peak District is theirs! The gear they sell in the Megastore could be so much better. Get Sean Barker to design some stuff and sell it there and the whole thing could fly. Instead, as you say we get bog standard with no focus on quality.

I went in there yesterday and they had about 30 odd in a bowl at the end of the que line barrier thing. They had loads of little ram prints on them and were a fiver each.
