Bad Experience - No On-line Customer Service

I have had a Bad Experience with Open Air Cambridge when purchasing on-line. They have not responded to my emails regarding the Nordic Poles I purchased in late November 2021. This was a Christmas present for my wife, so at Christmas I found that the Leki straps were to large, so I sent an email requesting whether these could be replaced with the smaller size.

A further 2 emails were sent in January 2022 before I got a response, this response only stating that they were very busy and had not received my initial emails.
I then replied to this email attaching a copy of the previous emails. But again I have had no response.
If I had known that I would have this poor response I would have returned the Nordic Poles immediately.

I would advice anyone not to use there on-line ordering service, unless you are able to walk into their Cambridge shop.

Customer service Terrible

Try to contact customer service. Hours for calling are 10am to 2pm rings and rings then you get cut off. Email contact response is greatly over 48 hours then not resolved. Wanted to give zero stars. Customer service does not mean anything to this company. They would rather cancel the order and leave you waiting for your refund, than contact you, the customer to resolve any issues. Won't be using this company again.

Hi there, we take our responsibilities as a retailer very seriously when selling knives and bladed items and make it clear on our website that we will need to verify your age before sending an order. We're sorry you provided an incorrect email address when ordering which meant our original correspondence didn't reach you, and that you could not provide suitable ID once we did make contact, but in these circumstances we have no option but to cancel the order and refund you, which we have done.

Items as expected

Items as expected, Good company to deal with and very responsive to any queries I had with my order. It was also the best price available on the web at the time for the product I ordered. Delivery was spot on too.

Extremely pleased with the Suunto…

Extremely pleased with the Suunto compass I bought for a superb price. Have not used yet but looking forward to using this soon.
It has all I need plus more, and it was the competitive price which drew me to buy.

So helpful and knowledgeable!

Purchase a nice winter jacket online. I used click and collect. When collected I could test it before leaving.

I enquired about hiking boots, although I didn’t buy a pair at the time, I was impressed by the knowledge of the member of staff and their professional advice on make the correct choice.

What a great little shop. I hope they get to expand more, after covid!

Trustworthy and Efficient

Although unfortunately this time I had to return the item as it did not fit, the whole customer service process, delivery and speed of refund was excellent.
I will definitely be buying from this company again.
