Excellent Customer Service – Thank You, Kelly!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this store today, thanks to Kelly, who went above and beyond to help me find a specific jacket I was looking for.

I had travelled from Woolwich specifically to find this jacket, and Kelly couldn’t have been more helpful. She spent around 15 minutes searching the warehouse for it and even took the time to come back and update me, explaining that it might take a little longer but reassuring me that she would be as quick as possible. I really appreciated this thoughtful gesture.

Thankfully, she managed to find the jacket! She was extremely polite, friendly and professional throughout. She gave me plenty of time to try it on and make sure I was completely happy, without putting me under any pressure to make a purchase.

Kelly also personally served me at the till, where we had a lovely, light-hearted chat, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s these little personal touches that really make a difference.

The store itself is very well stocked, with an excellent range of clothing and accessories, and is definitely worth a visit.

I left with exactly the jacket I wanted and was extremely happy with the whole experience.

A huge thank you to Kelly for her patience, kindness and outstanding customer service. She is a real credit to the store, and I will certainly be returning!

It was the first time I used one of your stores. I decided to use the Thurrock store. I was really impressed by Ruby who helped me find the right walking shoes. She was very knowledgeable and could answer my questions. Ruby was very polite and nothing was too much trouble. She is an asset to your store and I will use your store again.

Kelly was amazing and was very professional and made sure she faced me when talking as I’m deaf and dealt with my return of my sleeping bag and liner as it was not suitable for me. It was effortless and all sorted writhing 5 mins. The store is amazing and the hot and 20 mins drive was worth it. Staff were great, very accessible as I was on my mobility scooter. I was able to see my tent I had brought and I’m super happy with it. So much variety of outdoor pursuits items!! Thank you so much Kelly for getting my reason for visiting sorted so quickly.

Superb customer service

Superb customer service. Came into the store on 3 occasions over the past few weeks in preparation for 7 day hike in Africa. Explained I’m fairly new to hiking and have a specific kit list, at no point were the team trying to upsell. All recommendations based on my specifications with the staffs personal experience in mind which were super helpful.
At any point where the member of staff was unsure, they organised someone else who knew more about the topic, handed over to them and spent easily an hour each time to go though my options.

Big shout out and special thanks to Poppy, Oscar and Ethan.

Cannot fault the service received in store, but online operation was woeful. Wish I had read the poor reviews on trustpilot before placing an order. Item ordered did not arrive until 10 days after planned date, multiple emails to customer service ignored, after an 80 min phonecall I was informed the store had had my item for 5 days but would need another 7 days to prepare the bike. Terrible service, if you are looking to order online, dont bother, you have been warned, all the negative reviews can't be false.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you received good service in store, but we're very sorry for the delays and lack of communication you experienced with your online order.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait longer than expected for your bike and then have difficulty obtaining an update through our customer service channels. We also apologise that you were not contacted when your order was ready for collection.

Depending on the arrangements in place with the store responsible for building the bike, there can sometimes be delays before it is prepared and ready for collection. However, we appreciate that this should have been communicated to you more effectively throughout the process.

We are reviewing the issues you've highlighted and are working to improve both our communication and order update processes to help prevent similar experiences in future.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service.

Kind Regards
GO Outdoors Customer Care.

New shop location in Thurrock

We find that there are less tents setup than in the previous building. It would be nice to have more camping furniture setup to get more of a visual.
New shop is nicely laid out, usually well-stocked. Hoping they sort out some ventilation or air conditioning upstairs, it is stiffling hot, worse so during a heatwave.
All staff is helpful and friendly.
Shame this location is no longer an Evri Parcel Shop.
Special mention to Oscar who has been very knowledgeable in helping us buy all our camping gear during our numerous visits.
