Support lacking at Bear and Bear

I bought a lovely looking backpack from bear and bear. The bag was made by Alaskan Maker. When the stitching started to fail after one outing I asked for a full refund. The support went quiet and I heard nothing further despite promises to make the refund. Unfortunately therefore I must advise anyone thinking of becoming a customer to cross their fingers and hope nothing goes wrong or better still avoid the company completely.

Quality and integrity

What can I say. An excellent product, cheaper than many and just the best aftercare. I thought I had a faulty part (but turns out I didn't). Nevertheless, B&B were responsive, went the extra mile and helped me resolve what I thought was a problem. Such a relief, so happy, defo made the right choice. Thanks B&B!!!

Probably one the best retailers I’ve ever shopped from. Fantastic service from Alison. I needed a little extra time to return an item as I had a bereavement in the family and Alison was really patient and understanding to my situation. I sent my item back for exchange and was contacted very quickly In order to process the exchange. Very happy with the service and products from Bear & Bear. I won’t hesitate to shop from Bear & Bear again in the future.

Top quality service

Excellent products and a truly excellent experience.

I had a technical question on the product I wanted to purchase, and was able to get an answer to clarify within a few minutes, even at the weekend.

I ordered the product, and it arrived extremely well protected the next day, at no additional cost.

There isn't much more to say; a truly faultless experience! Thank you Bear & Bear!

Great company to buy from & very helpful

Great company to buy from! Have competitive pricing and very friendly team. One of my items was damaged in transit and they replaced it very quickly without any hesitation. Will definitely be purchasing from them again! Thank you :)

Fantastic online retailer

I purchased a Steamery Iron from this website and they were the best priced website for this product in the UK. I was extremely pleased with how quickly the item got dispatched over the Christmas/New Year period.

The item description stated that it came with an EU plug (with UK adapter) which wasn’t included in the parcel when it arrived. I emailed them and they quickly wrote back, apologising and despatched the plug which literally arrived the following day. Absolutely fantastic customer service and really pleasant experience to have this dealt with so quickly. Would highly recommend this retailer based my experience!

Quality service and love the new bag

I had to write a review as I bought something from here and then after checked this site and saw their low score and was very worried...well I shouldn't have because it was a great purchase experience...I got a great rucksack for a discounted price, the comms were great from purchase to advice coming through about when my bag would arrive, which was super quick. So just wanted to say great company and great service. I will be back!!!

couldn’t fault them, and a great price

Ordered a sandqvist backpack for myself for my birthday, was very sceptical as there weren’t many good reviews, and the price was too good to be true.

BUT I couldn’t fault the service, very quick delivery and only paid about £160 when the bag on the brands website is £225. A great saving!

Scammers

Do not use, complete scammers. I ordered a blanket, money was taken but never received a confirmation. Order did not exist apparently. I'm down almost £150.

Hi Ben, I responded to your email on 18th April with very clear evidence that your payment failed due to 3D secure not being able to verify your post code. Please email me on info@bearandbear.com if you didn't receive this email. It was sent at 19:35 on 18th April, please look also in spam folders. I didn't hear anything back from you so assumed all was fine.

Sort your phone number out...

I initially panicked as their contact number didnt work. Thought perhaps it was a scam of some sort, but all is well. Ordered Thursday, arrived Saturday. No problems

Hi Olivia, sorry about your experience. Bear & Bear has been under new management since October 2019, and it seems you ordered just before the restructuring. Could you please contact info@bearandbear.com and we'll see what we can do to. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Ordered something - never arrived

Ordered something - never arrived, with no update. The website has been down for weeks and so is the phone line. Emailed regarding a refund but no reply.

Scam alert?
