Great Service. Brilliant in fact!!
Emailed these guys on Sunday, Chris replied on Monday morning. I called them back. ( just to make sure everything checked out ok? Unfortunately it’s necessary these days) I placed my order on Monday. Explained I needed it by Friday. It actually turned up the next day, on Tuesday!! I did not realise that customer service at that level was even possible in this day and age:). Brilliant

Fantastic service from start to finish
Fantastic service from start to finish, a real pleasure to deal with. Great customer service. Email enquiry answered promptly. Items in stock and delivered within two days via DPD despite storm Goretti doing her best to delay. Would definitely recommend Gap Year Travel Store.

Just purchased an osprey farpoint 55 ruck sack after watching the store video of it, what a fabulous piece of kit! It’s defiantly worth every penny.
The whole process of purchasing was made worry free by the reviews I had read.
Not only was the price extremely competitive, the delivery time was truly outstanding 24hrs from clicking the buy button till it arriving safely at my home.
There’s very few companies with such a commitment to the customer nowadays, Gap Year Store is going to be my first port of call for my future needs.
A big thank you to the team for every aspect of my order.
