Karen was such a lovely and helpful salesperson. She seemed genuine as she gave great advice without being pushy. We were in the shop towards closing time yet didn’t feel rushed. I felt good about the purchase I made as I was fully informed about the product I was buying and hadn’t been persuaded to buy the latest and most expensive model but rather what suited me best

Sarah served myself and my husband with the purchase of walking boots. While also serving two other separate customers with their purchases. Even though Sarah had no other assistants at all to help, she remained calm and positive while smiling. Plus she gave factual advice.

My order didn't arrive

I have no product to review as it still hasn't been delivered. We've had to cancel a camping trip which we'd already paid for because the tent never arrived, so not only have we lost money from our booking, getting a refund for the missing tent has been a very slow and still unresolved process.

We are sorry to hear that your order did not arrive as anticipated. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially as the tent was needed for your trip.

We can see that you have been in contact with our Customer Care Team and a refund has been issued today. Please allow 3-5 working days for this to show in your account.

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and hope we have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future.

Kind regards,
GO Outdoors Customer Care Team

I was helped by Sean L

I was helped by Sean L, I wasn’t sure if an expensive coat was justified for one day on Ben Nevis, Sean explained my options with the types of clothes available and I ended up finding a sensible solution. Will be back again

Excellent customer service

Nicole was patient professional and very knowledgeable. I received a 5 star service in my purchase of hiking boots for my Iceland trip. She really went the extra mile. Never had such an amazing customer service experience. Thanks Nicole

Bought 3 items online

Bought 3 items online - very speedy delivery. Excellent quality hiking leggings however one pair was too small. I called into my local store and the very helpful staff were happy to return them and organise a refund. I received a confirmation of refund email the same day and the refund shortly afterwards. Excellent products, very efficient online system and very helpful instore staff. Overall - excellent customer service.

The tent had a hole in the side

The tent had a hole in the side, and I believe it had been returned by someone else previously (several clues for this). Not impressed on this occasion.

Thank you for leaving your review.

I am sorry to understand that you have received your tent with a hole in the side. This is not how we would expect our customers to receive their orders.

The matter has been raised with our warehouse team for further investigation to ensure this does not happen again.

I have reached out to you via the email address provided on your order to discuss this in further detail. Our message will arrive in your inbox shortly.

Kind regards
GO Outdoors Customer Care Team.

The store is spacious and well laid out. Staff are friendly. Bought a jacket today. Almost got charged £10 more as the till price was incorrect. Unfortunately the security tag had not been removed, but did not activate when I left the store. The tag may have ink in it so I need to travel approx 22miles for the store to remove it.
