“Not a UK company despite the website domain. Ordered a gift for my daughter's birthday and it didn't arrive in time. Checked and realised it was coming overland from Germany taking 10 days to arrive. Don't bother. Use a UK company or Amazon. Cheaper and quicker in the long run.”

“I wish I’d read reviews here first! I received a pair of shoes that had been worn. I suspect these were returns that had been used once or twice. When I provided feedback to say I need to keep them because I can’t wait for a return and reorder I received a reply that was rather trite. They did offer a refund and an apology but completely misread my message and advised that I could not have a replacement as though I was a scammer asking for another pair to be sent prior to return. Anyway I’m short, very disappointed given they’re not cheap! I won’t be back or recommend.”

“When I ordered my item it was not made clear that the company is in Germany (note the .co.uk web address which is misleading) and that it would take over two weeks from ordering to receive my item.”

“Another refund delay! Returned item delivered to their UK warehouse on 22nd January but still no refund. I have also been told that this is down to customs delays etc in getting it back to the German warehouse but it is now over FOUR WEEKS and still no resolution. I have used them in past with no issue but will never repeat this experience again. No further assistance from their customers services so I am just left hanging and out of pocket. Get this sorted ASAP!!”

“PLEASE Do not buy anthing off this company, they tried to rob me of £650 pounds for a coat that i never got and they would refund me they said they had refunded me but it was all lies, read all reviews they should not be able to trade. It took me 5 months to get my money back through VISA never again.”

“Absolute joke of a company fails to send item,then sends an email thanking me for the return of the item I never received! AVOID”

“BEWARE! BEWARE!! I ordered through this site thinking it was a UK based company as I needed the product to be delivered ASAP. Turns out they are trading under a fake name and don’t fulfil their promise of 3-5working day delivery. I waited 5 days to be told my order still had to be “manually picked from the warehouse” because it contained flammable/dangerous items. I ordered a stove set which contained NO gas or flammable content WHATSOEVER. I phoned the customer service line X4 times and each time I was told a different lie. My order never arrived in time for my trip and they offered no recourse other than a half-hearted apology from a insincere call handler. Thanks for ruining my camping trip. DODGY, SNEAKY BUSINESS!!!”

“WORST experience. 0 STAR They delivered a worn pair, not brand new. As soon as the delivery driver left 1 minute ago, I opened the box, I was stunned!! It is not a new pair. Dried leaves inside the shoes, the bottom of the shoes shows it has been used/walked on surface at least few days, with dirts. And the top part of the shoes show sign of worn. I took photos, emailed complained straight away, they accepted the fact that is not in the right condition as it should have been!! But they refused to offer re-collection and return new pair, claiming no stock left, asked me to go to the post office but I am unable during this lockdown as it closes too early before my working hours end. I kept sending email, they ignored for few days, then came back asking me the same, I have to do it myself!! to return!! What a nightmare to deal with. I will tell friends and family never buy from this company ever!!!”

“I ordered a pair of Trail running shoes, after receiving them having waited a long period, I used on 2 short 3km runs (I currently run 5-8km every morning with my dog) and my feet suffered inflammation and very sore second metatarsal pain at the ball of my foot. The shoe fit felt okay but the narrow design (having been advertised as wide fitting) and the insole design caused this. I returned the shoes (having to pay shipping) and then only after 5 emails and a month of waiting and chasing received very vague responses. The manufacturer refused any fault in the shoe and denied return and I am still now waiting for the trainers to be sent back to me (which I will donate to charity as I cannot wear them). The Alpinetrek customer service team are jokers, no service what so ever, no customer care or communication unless pressed for and one very unhappy customer left out of pocket through original cost and return shipping cost. I would not recommend and I most certainly not use their shop again. I have used trail running shoes for the past 15 years and run in multiple OCR and these trainers were a bad design and poorly described on the site.”

“Order just didn't arrive and got email telling me a problem with delivery. No explanation or idea when I will receive my parcel. Alpine trek may blame Hermes for this - well they should know better to use these morons as courier for the company. My address is correct and very easily located. I wouldn't use alpine trek again. £70 down and no shoes. And a headache chasing this up. Avoid this company”

“Not even 1 star service... I placed an order and it was never delivered and then I got notification the package had been returned. I contact customer services and they advised me to place a fresh order which I did in good faith. After a week of no Hermes tracking and a number of chases, the same thing occurred with the second order and customer services were unable to track or identify how, what or why this occurred either times. They ship product from Germany and use an untracked method to ship to Hermes distribution; I would strongly recommend they review their chosen delivery method into the UK. I wouldn't recommend them nor use them ever again... totally unreliable.”

“Awful service policy. I ordered a shovel/ice axe. They sent the wrong item. They didn't have stock of the correct item. And then kept my money until I could return it. I needed the item for a holiday and this process prevented me from being able to reorder anything. Also the initial delivery took a significant length of time. A German company fronting as an English one. Avoid if possible.”

“Ordered a pair of boots 3 weeks ago, which still haven't arrived. My colleague ordered similar boots from a uk shop on the same day and his arrived 2 days later. The alpinetrek service is absolutely appalling, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SHOP.”

“The name of this company on the web is Alpinetrek.co.uk (and on here!) so I assumed it was a uk company. Not until I had placed the order and waited for delivery did I realise it is not a uk company at all. So they are trading under a false identity, they are based in Germany. These details are in tiny print at the foot of the order acknowledgement. Their delivery promises are fake. They fail to communicate when sent emails. I still await delivery. Their UK nominated haulier's site Hermes is still reading 'We're waiting to receive your parcel from the sender', despite the sender assuring on their order acknowledgement that tracking would be available 2-3 days after ordering, and the parcel would be with me in 3-5 days. So God knows where the goods are. My order is over £100. My only regret is that I did not check this site before ordering. If you are, please avoid. Go elsewhere, the uk competition is too great and many of them care for their customers and offer very fast delivery. This lot obviously do not give a damn. And I am not the only one to complain and receive no response according to others on here. Thank you Alpinetrek wherever you are for making online shopping such a miserable experience.”

“Awful, never even attempted to deliver my package, when I called them I was told my order was cancelled because the jacket I ordered is out of stock.”
