We can see a new order has since been placed for the wanted item on our Click & Collect service which is ready to be collected at your earliest convenience. Please take your order confirmation email and ID with you upon collection.

Your feedback is of high value and will be raised with the relevant departments to ensure improvements are made.

Fantastic store

The York Vanguard Go Outdoors is absolutely incredible. The store is huge and very well organised and maintained.
I had a great experience here yesterday. I'd like to mention that Lewis on the checkout was very polite and professional, he helped with an issue on my membership card quickly and is a fantastic member of the team.

Sue helped me out massively in navigating the rabbit hole that is waterproof jackets! Super helpful with the hiking experience to back it up.

I was served by the very helpful and lovely Sue. She had all the warmth, knowledge and advice you could ever wish for from a customer service experience. I’d go out of my way to visit the York store again just for the service alone!

Terrific service

We were served by Mark in the footwear section and he was absolutely brilliant. It brought back the good old days of customer service as he did everything he could to make sure we went out with the right size and trainer. Go Outdoors and other outlets are nowhere near this stress free and customer focussed in other locations! Many thanks.

Not great service

Not great service. All of my items arrived separately from different delivery providers and at different days and times. I’m still awaiting my sofas which
I was told would be here today. We go away tomorrow so now we’ll be without them and they’ll just be left at my door for 2 weeks no doubt which is not ideal.

General room for improvement in the walking shoes department.

Not only is this shop in general very overstimulating all the time, our visit today left us empty-handed. We wanted to try on some shoes which need to be fetched from a staff-only area and tried on. We waited around for an age at an unmanned desk with no staff members in sight, and we're about to give up before a young lad finally appeared and offered to summon a more qualified coworker. Said coworker (a nice enough lad himself) arrived, brought us the shoes we wanted to try on, and then completely vanished again so we couldn't ask for more sizes or advice on our purchase. We left without buying a thing, fed up of waiting around. In the past we've also dealt with staff members who sound like they're frankly fed up with having to speak to customers, which leaves a sour taste when you have to ask to have your feet measured etc.

Very disappointed

I have to be honest, personally I have been extremely disappointed with my latest experience with Go Outdoors! My husband and I were unable to purchase what we consider, basic camping products in store so ordered on line for collection in store and every time we did this a few days plus later I received an email to say they’d cancelled my order and then another to say they’d issued a refund! Needless to say we’re very dissatisfied with the service from Go Outdoors and ended up buying the items we needed elsewhere for equally competitive prices with free delivery :-)

Thank you for your review.

We are sorry to hear about your recent experience. We understand how disappointing it must have been to find the items unavailable in store, only for your Click & Collect orders to be cancelled several days later and refunded after you had already made alternative arrangements.

While order cancellations can sometimes occur due to stock discrepancies, we appreciate that this does not lessen the frustration caused, particularly when you needed what you felt were basic camping essentials. We also recognise that the repeated cancellations and delay in notifying you fell short of the service you expected from us.

We do hope we’ll have the opportunity to restore your confidence in GO Outdoors and provide a much better experience in the future.

Kind regards
