Brilliant company to deal with, kept informed and super fast delivery too. The montane terra route pants are excellent, fit perfectly with plenty of stretch for stepping up and down. If you are think... See more

Whilst I ended up returning the item, the ordering, dispatch, returns and refund were quick and smooth. It's a shame there are no free returns - the coat i sent back was quite bulky so cost nearly £10... See more

Great Company

I ordered a Barbour ladies jacket on 3rd January arrived 5th January, this company is amazing even in the trying times of postal strikes etc, and some not nice reviews, the jacket is lovely and warm and the despatch and delivery FIRST CLASS.

Good on all fronts

Good price, quick delivery and excellent product. Sleeves are a little long but that is not unusual when I buy an outdoor jacket for cold weather as I buy a size that lets me comfortably wear several layers of winter clothing under it. My last Barbour lasted 26 years and I was using it on building and landscaping projects, hoping this will have a similar lifetime.

Hello Mr Jones, thankyou for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with the service you have received from us in regards to the timely dispatch of your order. To suggest we did not have your order ready in time is unfounded

You will have received an email from us confirming the date your order was processed & dispatched, but as per our telephone conversations we informed you DPD had capped the number of parcels we could dispatch from & including 19th December, which did delay the dispatch of your order.

We have received communication from our Accounts Manager at DPD corroborating the information we gave to you.

This is the response we received (all email / personal identfiable date has been removed complying with GDPR)

Hi .....,

As promised I've spoken to my manager to see if there is anything that can be done about the volume caps.

I'm afraid that he's said that we cannot change the caps. I wish that there was something that I could do to get these changed for you, but I've been told that I can't.

I'm sorry that I'm not able to sort this for you.
....................................................
Account Manager, DPDgroup UK

We have already apologised for this inconvenience and refunded your next day delivery fee.

On occasions we accept order / collect service to customers who are able to travel to our store, should you wish to use this option for any future orders.

We hope you will reconsider your review of the service you have received from us due to circumstances beyond our control.

Kind Regards
Customer Service Team

Don’t use this shop …

I ordered next day delivery on Tuesday and it’s now Sunday and I still have not received my order
Or even had an email to say it’s been sent from shop
I have called all the numbers on the internet and site for the shop and don’t answer
the numbers don’t even ring
I wouldn’t recommend this shop to any one it’s a disgrace
So bad I have also emailed the email adress and had no answer
Nearly a week and nothing
I will be contacting my bank for refund tomorrow

We await your response.

No sign of my order & no help offered

Next day delivery paid for via DPD when an order was placed on Sunday. I appreciate that this would not be sent until Monday so should have arrived on Tuesday. However, I am constantly getting a message that there is an unexpected delay. GO have refunded the next day delivery fee but still no sign of the order. I have emailed and sent a Facebook message but no responses. GO seem to have washed their hands of the issue - no resolution offered. GO should be chasing up DPD and/or resending the order via alternative sources.

Thank you for your response. DPD have sent an email every day (including a further one just now) saying that there is an unexpected delay and that it would be delivered the following day. So, I had emails stating this on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I have had other parcels from DPD this week so the issue is with your parcel. YOU should be looking to sort this issue with DPD and if you did, THEN I may agree that you give great Customer Service. Until then, I have to disagree,

Hi David,

We dispatched your order 11th December via DPD since this was a non working day your order wasn't collected until Monday 12th December. Your order should have arrived Tuesday 13th December but DPD have had issues with their next day service and cancelled these for upto 48 hours due to Royal Mail Strikes.
Unfortunately this is an issue that is out of our hands and have no control over and can only apologise for the delay.
I have checked your tracking and can see your order is going to be delivered Saturday 17th December.
We issued you a refund for your next day service.
We give excellent customer service as you can see by our trustpilot rating.
Once your item arrives we would appreciate it if you could revise your feedback to a more positive.
Kind Regards

**Unethical and Terrible customer service**

**Terrible customer service and dishonest**

This summer I purchased a few Tilley hats on Amazon for use on an expedition in July. The hats unfortunately did not fit so I sent them back. There appeared to be a mess up at the post office and one of Great Outdoors Superstores hats was sent to the wrong supplier and vice versa. The other supplier (Taunton Leisure) notified me within a week and swiftly returned the wrong hat to me - I wish I could say the same for Great Outdoors Superstores, not only did they receive the hat and then sell it on profiting, they refused to refund me until they had received 'their' hat back. Once they received 'their' hat from Taunton Leisure they issued me a refund for that hat. The only problem was that they still had the Taunton Leisure hat. After some conversations and proof of postage/delivery Great Outdoor Superstore promised, via email, that they would re-order the hat they accidentally sold on and would send it back to me. I was due to leave on expedition the next week and after connecting them with Taunton Leisure they assured me this would be done. Once arriving back from expedition I checked to see if this had been done and to my surprise it had not... When I contacted Lynn who I had been corresponding with she notified me that it was not their error and I would not be receiving a refund or a hat!!
This completely blows my mind that this business has confirmed that the hat was received, which was not their property was sold on, and is not offering any sort of customer service solution. Completely and utterly dishonest and unethical. The worst part is that they led me to believe that they were happy to help resolve the issue saying they would send the right hat back to Taunton Leisure. Disgraceful.

Quick delivery of a quality item

Quick delivery of a quality item. The sizing process on-line was spot on; this site suggested a large and I have never had a piece of kit fit me so well. Another site suggested 2XL using the same measurements.....go figure!! With snow on the hills, I will be trying it out this week!

Tick box exercises

What I hate are company's carrying out tick box exercises without even consulting with them selves.
I have now been asked twice to comment on my experience in terms of service and the product, if anyone had taken the time to check, they would have been aware that I have not yet received my purchase. That's not blaming the post office, that's just a basic check before asking someone to comment on the business.

Hello Mr Lumsden, thank you for your feedback

In normal circumstances our automated Trtust Pilot prompt is programmed to contact customers within the standard delivery timescale.

Due to Royal Mail industrial action it would appear a number of our customers have received premature requests for their reviews, and if none given, a polite reminder is sent.

We are sorry for this mild irritation and hope you will reconsider your review as you have now received your order, albeit delayed

Hello Ms Proctor, Thank you for your feedback

We are sorry to hear your ordered item was not as expected.

Sizing width fittings etc do differ between Manufactures and we advise customers to look at reviews on Manufactures website before ordering.

As we have no imput as to Manufacturers sizing of their products we hope you will reconsider your review as to the service you have received from us, i.e. ordering, dispatch, refund process if you found these satisfactory

Good product, good price, very late delivery

North Face Fleece is great and got it for a good price.

They have lost a star do to very late delivery. I get it, royal mail strike so not on them but I feel that a temporary switch of courier would surely be plausible and would ensure no delay to deliveries during the Christmas period.
