I was feeling very let down and ignored…

Updated Review. I was feeling very let down and ignored by this company not getting back much at all in response to my many attempted communications. Serious issue with them regarding no show of any promised loyalty points from multiple purchases when I needed to use those. Let alone saw no way of redeeming them either. I think over the past last year I've had several orders with this company. They started out quite acceptably. They then declined in service recently, disappointingly. The staff promised to get back to me after conversation with managers. That's the last I heard for days and it was always me chasing up a resolution till finally I did get some real answers and helps, given as needed.
One lost parcel was claimed by them coming from Amazon? Never ever saw that desired and required ordered water filter, after weeks of waiting patiently. They finally after repeated requests told me they thought it was lost in the post somehow? I was promised and finally provided a full refund. I'd have much more rather preferred the goods. (Had to resource and replace item with similar specifications, in order on to another supplier of outdoors water filter units. Which has cost me near twice as much.)
Then another parcel came minus one set of BCB steel KFS set - knife, fork, spoon. I was trying to get them to action a simple stock check with themselves. Would have told if the item was simply missed packing out to me, as I likely suspected. Or was lost from small reported breach of packaging in transit to me? (Honestly packaging coming out from them was vastly inadequate to the tasking. It was a miracle 99 percent of that order arrived to me. With some sharp packaging tearing through the two inadequate light packaging jiffy bag thin layers sent in.) I waited after follow up emails for them to send a KFS set I paid for but got the refund instead.
Lastly, their website is somewhat misrepresentative or misleading, regarding what you're ordering in some cases. As in I see pictures of things given not bearing any resemblance to the goods finally coming out to one. Like the pictured BCB International boot brushes. For the money you're paying you would think that the large pictured clear wood varnished type ones on website, represent fair value. What actually turns up are totally different looking red tiny wood brushes. They are practically identical to pound shop Pondland ones in their one pound boot shine kit! You can fit the tiny little brush in the palm of your hand. There were a couple of other instances of the pictured item not matching exactly to the ordered product finally supplied. This is not really very good either. We accept products from suppliers change, but it should be stated clearly if it's a major difference to be encountered. I've now sourced better boot brushes more like the pictured ones on their website, at cost extra. (NB Issues with this supplier complicated by my actual genuine liking of the company from my prior shopping there over last many years happily. This means I cannot happily give them bad score here exactly! I'm trying my best to be fair. Sought resolution of my encountered problems, so I might try to update to my usual more positive reviews for them. As in the past it's actually been one of my favourite companies. I'm also placing orders for a little outdoors club I'm in, some items will be for myself, others destined to pass onto others in my group.) Hoped all the difficulties could have been resolved. Sadly some weren't and I was forced to seek replacement items elsewhere with other traders able to supply. I've updated reviews for the items that arrived to help others there purchasing. As I regularly do wherever buying stuff for the survival club group, where possible to. I can hardly review the BCB KFS set though, which did not arrive! UPDATE. After I had again flagged by communication the non existence of solutions to encountered problems they acted. They are lax at getting back to you, this company. I've checked my account online and finally was promised the long missing All points. For multiple previous orders. I see my order list from last order has been changed there on the missing lines making it to nil. Refunds did finally come. The BCB steel KFS set I am missing from when I ordered is still showing as in stock to purchase however where they only wanted to refund not supply me. I wanted it as it's a compact good item, complete with tin opener in the handle the KFS fits into. So they easily could obviously have sent me out one as required. I was left in dark to discover things for myself. That's not good customer care. This appears to show hallmarks of a trader which doesn't care well for its regular customers. I've not yet trusted ordering again. I eventually replaced the KFS/water filter. I ordered other versions elsewhere

Hi Trevor, thanks for all the comments, I will email you directly, as we are always here to help, but for others that may be reading… allpoints get collected automatically but you would need to have set up an account with a password first (otherwise there is no way of the system knowing that the all points have been collected on a particular customer account). With regard to the BCB items namely the boot brushes, we’ve only just reinvigorated that brand after having not sold it for quite some time so where we’ve reactivated products that we had sold before with the same SKU and barcode, but if the supplier may have changed the item slightly, we would not necessarily know that, and sometimes do rely on customers to let us know. If the customer was not happy with the item they had received due to that type of problem and due to our stocking so many different products whereby sometimes the suppliers aren’t completely clear about updated products, we would always offer either a swap, or a refund, or some extra allpoints, or something along those lines. Whatever makes the customer happy basically.

One thing we aren’t, is a trader that doesn’t care about our customers. Quite the opposite, I personally hate getting messed around by companies, and that ethos runs down through the business, but please bear in mind at the moment we’ve got staff covering for other staff and things like that, so it does make the workload tricky. Apologies for that, we like to think we do a good job, but I hear your point entirely, and can totally see why you would be feeling neglected, so really sorry about that. Last of all, we do indeed hold certain products in Amazon warehousing, which is why one of the staff has said that one of the items may have shipped out of one of the Amazon warehouses. They fulfil some of our website orders as well as our Amazon orders if that makes sense, especially at the moment if ever we are low on staff or if we go through a peak period like the so-called Christmas rush… hope that puts everything into perspective, we are absolutely always here to help, and we aren’t big enough for customers to simply get left by the wayside to fend for themselves. Hopefully that comes across in this message.
Cheers for now,
Russell (the founder & MD).

Less than helpful

I bought Leki walking poles but didn't get to use them for a while because of Covid travel restrictions.
So it was 62 days before I reported that a vital bolt or pin was missing.
Guessing that the pin costs about 50p and is easy to fit, I asked if they could send me one.
After a long delay with no communication, All Outdoors claimed they couldn't get the part.
They said it was out of their 60 day warranty then reluctantly agreed to replace the poles but only if I paid for the carriage.
So I wrote to Leki in Germany. They passed me to their UK importers Ardblair Sports, who were outwardly helpful but still failed to deliver the missing bolt.
UPDATE
All Outdoors, when it read this review, offered to replace the poles free of any charges and told me what a great company it really is. But a company is only as good as its response when things go wrong. At least AO apologised and tried to make amends - plenty of companies wouldn't have bothered.

Hi Stephen,

Really truly sorry to be reading this. Just glanced it as I logged into the customer service email this evening looking for something else.

We are still small enough to actually care so I don’t know why Ardblair were not able to send us the bolt… but I will certainly find out!

We get all our stock from them, and they in turn get all their stock from Leki in Germany so we get in touch with the supplier immediately in the hope that we can get the part you need. We often replace the handles, the baskets, and suchlike.

It would be worth looking at our other reviews, as we are an extremely honest, and decent company to deal with. It doesn’t get much better than us, and that’s the truth.

We simply don’t trick or deceive our customers, quite the opposite and this is because I personally don’t like getting messed around, and that filters down through the company. Everybody at work knows this.

So, please get in touch with me directly, as I would like to talk it over. We definitely fix every single problem to an end, we don’t create problems, it’s just not my / our style.

I’m sure that the way we work doesn’t justify a one star review, even if we couldn’t find or source the part you needed. Maybe it’s not something which is in circulation if the poles are made in their entirety and spare parts are harder to come by? In that situation we would absolutely do a refund if there was nothing else we could do to help. Naturally you can’t use some walking poles if one of the bolts is missing, we understand this.

Anyway, please email me directly to russell@alloutdoor.co.uk, and I will get back in touch and hopefully we can have a chat… and get you all sorted out.

Our returns policy is 60 days, but for faulty things people return stuff after *years* and we Still managed to get them sorted out because of the relationship we have with all our suppliers, especially after 15 years of being in business.

Be grateful if, in the meantime, you can please remove this review, and you will see how good we are. I won’t stand for anything less.

***just to follow on, I’ve been into our sent email items in order to try and find the correspondence, did you definitely purchase from us (or request this help) from us? I’ve searched for “Stephen” and I’ve searched for “Leki” I’ve searched for “bolt” and I’ve searched “screw” but I can’t find your email (maybe I’m not searching well enough) so maybe you can get in touch with me directly and hopefully we can figure it all out. We don’t hold small spare parts like bolts etc, so we would definitely have to request it from either Ardblair who will ask Leki in Germany***

We are extremely helpful as I say, and we will definitely get you sorted out to an end😃🤘

Best regards,
Russell

Great Prices and reliable

I came across this website a number of times whilst searching for a tent. I was sceptical at first as it wasn't one of the "big brands" that you see on the high street. However, with the substantial savings and the knowledge that my card supplier had my back if anything went wrong - I went ahead with the purchase.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the tracking side of things on the website isn't as modern as others. But, as soon as Royal Mail had my item in their possession I just opted to use that for the tracking.

The item arrived well on time (a day early in fact) and all in working order. My biggest surprise is that the tent I ordered had a manufactured date of February 2021 - I would've expected these items to have been left in a warehouse for years, but it's not the case.

I'd truly recommend and will be going back for my other supplies in the future.

Dear Kevin, your order shipped on time, but because you’re in the USA and we are in the UK, it’s been caught up amongst everything at the moment. Strange times.

Definitely not a scam, and we have many many positive reviews to support what a good natured company we are, very flexible to use, and we do what we say. If things go wrong, we fix them.

The reason we are showing three in stock on eBay, is because we have three in stock. Generally speaking deliveries are ok, so really sorry about this one. I know that when you order something for a trip you need it, period. Sincere apologies. I know that we have refunded you, so you can use the cash to buy locally at least.

We are always here to help, and I’m sure you will agree the replies have been extremely fast. We would never leave a customer hanging or out of pocket.

Kind regards,
The Team @ alloutdoor.co.uk

The item ordered was correct and delivered quickly - so that part is ok. But I'm only giving one star as I used alloutdoors partner cash back site, which tracked the purchase correctly, and then zero cashback was offered where 2% should have been. Update 1 : Cashback was eventually 'confirmed' after 3 months and alloutdoor partner cashback site investigating. Update 2 : after 6 months, this the cashback still remains unpaid. Seems more like a bait and switch offer than a genuine offer of cashback by alloutdoor.

Great company and service

Great company and service! At first emailed to asked them to confirm if the products was in stock and they responded very quickly. I bought the products and they shipped all items at the same day with tracking number! Also they kept me updated for the order shipping with emails. I received all items without any problem! For sure I will buy from this company in the future!

After reading some bad reviews on other review websites I must admit I was a little worried. Now all I can say is the service, price and products from this online store are outstanding. Great customer service, after I emailed them with my concerns post order (from the MD no less). I have just received the goods. Exactly what I ordered, sealed in the bag in good time. I am very happy. How they do this for the price I have no idea (considerably cheaper than the big names) but I am very happy I've found them. I will be using them a lot more in the future.

Great company and service

I quickly received my original item, but unfortunately one zipper on the bag broke way before it should. Alloutdoor handled the issue in an exemplary way with an outmost forthcoming customer service. Thanks to them, them bag is now back in working order and will join me on many more trips.

Delivery problem quickly resolved.

I had a problem with delivery, through no fault of the company, and this was resolved really quickly by their very helpful Customer Service. They couldn't do enough to help to ensure a replacement item was sent straight out. I wish all companies were helpful like this!!
I would definitely recommend this company.

They look after their customers

I first contacted alloutdoor about a sleeping quilt which was out of stock/awaiting delivery, their response was really quick and they managed to get the item in for me in time for my trip , when everywhere were also out of stock.
They even got it delivered to me 2days later from when I ordered it, which I was also grateful for. This is certainly a company that really looks after their customers . Thank you guys at alloutdoor .
