Excellent customer service …

Joshua at the York store was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He introduced a tent I hadn’t previously considered which turned out to be better made and more suitable. Excellent customer service.

A first visit to Go Outdoors Vangarde…

A first visit to Go Outdoors Vangarde York. Wow what a shop I think they offer everything. We went to look at a shelter to go with our camping setup. I think we were in there an hour before looking at shelters and had to swap our basket for a trolley. Every interaction was positive, great customer service and knowledge. A big shout out to the staff on the tills for their advice and help... Josh, Erin and Izzy a great example of patience and outstanding customer service ...thank you

Great sleeping bag, great price

Great product, staff very helpful when I went to click and collect. However, the confirmation email said I would be contacted when my sleeping bag was in store, but I didn't get any kind of message.

Part of my item was missing

Part of my item was missing. Customer service cannot help as it was bought in store which is a 2hr round trip away. Store do not answer phone. My only option therefore is to spend 2 hrs returning to the store which is not in a location I would usually travel to.
Update - when I finally got through to the store they were really helpful & resolved my issue quickly.

We are sorry to hear that part of your item was missing and that you have been unable to get the support you need to resolve the issue. We appreciate how frustrating this must be, particularly when the purchase was made at a store that is a considerable distance away and not somewhere you would normally travel to.

We are also sorry to learn that you have been unable to reach the store by phone. We understand how disappointing it is to feel that your only option is to make a two-hour round trip to address a problem that was not of your making. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We have reached out to you via Trustpilot to request your contact details so we can look into this further.

Kind regards

Excellent in store service.

Hubby couldn't find what he wanted in store, till we asked SUE and she not only took us to the Tilly hats, but explained alot of facts about them, helped him choose and got hubby to part with his money (which is not an easy thing). She was a breath of fresh air as far as in store service in concerned.
Thanks Sue you're a credit to Go Outdoors.

Go Outdoors York Vanguard

We visited GO Outdoors York Vanguard just before closing time to look at a tent, and the service we received was outstanding.

The staff were incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain the tent in detail without making us feel rushed. Their knowledge and advice gave us the confidence to go ahead and buy it.

A special mention goes to Izzy on the tills, who kindly kept the store open for us while we completed our purchase. She was also fantastic with our kids, keeping them entertained while we sorted out a bank transfer. Nothing felt like too much trouble.

It's refreshing to come across people who genuinely care about providing great customer service. Izzy and the rest of the team are a real credit to GO Outdoors. Thank you for making our visit such a positive experience!

Mechanical horse experience

I booked a session on the mechanical horse. Carys who assisted me with the session was really patient with me as I hadn't been on a horse for over 15 years. She explained the procedure and answered all my questions brilliantly.

Wonderful Sue

I came in to the store first thing this morning carrying a sleepy toddler. A wonderful lady came up and asked if I needed help finding anything, she then led me straight to the camping chairs and helped me find the ones I needed and insisted on carrying them for me which was hugely appreciated! I just needed to be as quick as possible so she then took me to the till, I paid and then she even carried the 3 chairs to the car for me! So thank you Sue! You made my morning much easier. What a great lady.
