“My wife ordered me some boots for a charity walk in The Lakes phoned them up to ask where they are the customer service girl waffled some excuse about them not being in stock where they were sent from- you think that they would now send them from a location where they were in stock - WRONG phoned AGAIN the customer service Lady said she would PUSH them through the system this was a week ago still no confirmation email they now won’t talk to me as my wife ordered the boots and can only speak to her and still NO BOOTS so so so frustrating they promised that the boots would be here and I’ve had nothing from them-BE WARNED DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING ONLINE WITH THESE CLOWNS”

“Ordered jacket online, after 10 days no communication from them except email adverts. I phoned them on day 10 in accordance with their contract terms and conditions which do not seem to follow UK Consumer Contract Regulations- I was informed that the order was cancelled by them! They had not informed me nor actioned a refund. The poor customer care advisor was very apologetic, and a refund was initiated straight away. She does not deserve to be front of house for such a dismal organisation. Go Outdoors!!?? Nope - Go Elsewhere”

“Placed an order for a couple of waterproof jackets, for click and collect in store. A week later and no sign of the jackets. Multiple phone calls to the local store went unanswered, even though the confirmation email said to call that number with any queries. "Customer Services" were useless, I managed to get hold of someone in Go Outdoors, all they would do is check the tracking link (as if I haven't done that myself before calling!). Why they have to have the jackets couriered is beyond me, they have a massive warehouse store full of goodies, and with my countries weather this is the kind of thing they should/would be expected to stock en-mass. Terrible service, incredibly slow delivery, yet to see anything materialise for my fifty quid. Shame really as my local scout leader recommended the store, guess he will rethink that that I tell him of this experience. Avoid.”

“Went in to oxford branch to buy new walking boots, no one around to deal with the sale, told the lady on till who seemed disinterested but said she could get someone I said no as waited long enough, she puffed and smirked as I left. I can spend my money anywhere, you need to do much better.”

“If there could be 0 stars they would get them! Sent goods to a wrong address (my mistake) but then leading me on for 3 months (in which time I could call delivery service) promising THEY WILL investigate it and that I should do nothing, just to tell me they can't do anything now as it's too late and can't refund the money. And now I'm stuck with no goods and no money and noone to complain to after such a long time.. Worst costumer service ever and I will definitely never shop with them again!!!”

“Go Outdoors - Go Get Ripped Off. Used Go Outdoors today to purchase some walking wear. Walked around the store weighing up the prices etc and purchased £372's worth of items accordingly. At the till we were asked if we were members etc and were then offered a discount card which would save us a minimum of 10% on all items. Excellent we thought, no brainer, so we spent an additional £5 for the discount. It was only when we got home a little later and started puzzling exactly what we had saved that we realised something was amiss. We were actually charged £372 but although the receipt said we had saved £157, the actual prices advertised in store amounted to the £372 stated. That is a saving of zero. Pretty fed up at the thought of not being given any discount, even though I had paid extra for a discount card, I phoned the store and was told that on the signs advertising each items price, was a very large pronounced bold price, which was the discount card price and then in tiny writing hidden amongst other details is a retail price. The way it is displayed is a very obvious (now in hindsight) practice of deceiving the customer and is there to make the bold price appear as the price you pay. Theres no comeback other than to return the goods, I'm going away tomorrow so simply don't have the option to return the items. However I do have the option of warning others about this deceptive practice and I also have the option to never set foot in this rip off store again.”

“Ordered some stuff for collection. Took over 10 days to be ready when it was just sitting on shelves in store. Then sent some very odd emails blaming me for them dispatching an order I had cancelled. It's been almost a month now and I've yet to receive a refund. The goods I ordered gave never been received by myself. They don't seem to trust themselves to return their own goods to their warehouse. Customer service is atrocious.”

“Offers some of the best prices, but that's of little use when they leave the item on your doorstep, especially at my high street home where the parcel is barely a metre away from a busy pavement. They use Hermes btw who will get a similar review. OK occasionally something goes wrong, but what is infuriating me is gooutdoors customer service response. They claim I only have 10 days to fill in a missing delivery form, a form they have emailed to me, but will not post to me. I don't have a printer, as I have told them. So I was asked to download an app to edit it, which reluctantly I did. However trying to use, save, and edit a form in an unfamiliar app, on a mobile phone, proved too frustrating for me. And so it continues. I will certainly never shop with gooutdoors again! And am worried I won't get my money back from this company.”

“I ordered and paid for 7 midge head nets. I then had an email to say only 4 were now available and refunded for 3 nets. Fine. However I was only sent 2 nets and not 4. I have emailed 6 times now and still after nearly 2 weeks have not been sent the missing nets or refunded!! One star rating is too high a score!!”

“After seeing a toddler rucksack in stock at a local store online, we drive specifically to the store to check it fitted correctly and buy it. However, I was told it’s not in stock and the online stock checker was wrong, therefore we ordered the rucksack from the store and were told delivery can take up to 10 days but is likely to be only a few days. It arrived after 10 days in an open damaged box and ripped plastic bag, so the rucksack was not protected properly. We bought this rucksack specifically to carry a toddler for a hike we had planned and it didn’t arrive in time. If I’d known delivery was going to be an issue I would’ve bought the rucksack elsewhere. Customer services didn’t understand why I’m complaining and even say the box did its job as the rucksack wasn’t damaged! They refused to complain to Hermes who delivered it. It’s a £180 rucksack!”

“The one star is courtesy of the review site. Having purchased a new tent just over a year ago, due to covid was only able to use recently. Upon pitching the tent one of the poles was broken. Thanks to a fellow camper who had spare string I was able to fix it. Simply not good enough for the price you pay. The tent clearly wasn't new. Despite the standard copy and paste response advising to contact them the email sent was ignored. Please beware of what this company says and sells you.”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service!! None existence either in store (Wolverhampton) or on the telephone. Ordered goods online for click and collect all of which said they where in stock. Received email to collect, get to store and only a few items there. Then to be told that they have the items on the shelf but would have to pay for them again and wait upto 3 weeks for my refund! No help from anyone, could not tell me when rest of order would be delivered to the store, "err the items are in store you have them on the shelf???" It doesn't take a genius to work out what should be done??? Will never use Go Outdoors again and will advise friends and family not to do so either. Had excellent customer service when I was in store spending £1000's couldn't do enough for me. The worst company I have ever used especially online.”

“I have placed my order online with standard deliver of up to 10 days. As I have not received notification that my order was dispatched, I called customer services on day 9 and was advised that order is waiting to be picked up from the warehouse. On day 11 still no update, called the customer services and was told the same. I asked how long will it take to collect the order and dispatch, they were not able to provide me with time frame. I asked if I can collect my order or change the delivery address. They said it was not possible. I had to cancel my order and now waiting to see how long it will take to refund my money. Would not recommend to place any orders online if you don't want to be disappointed with delayed delivery.”

“Takes forever to receive your goods. Their dispatch is slow and even though you pay for postage they choose the slowest option they can.”

“Ordered 5 items simple water containers to ehu and a fridge.,,a toilet . Yes 14 days later my items arrived when I was at work.my partner took the order, only to find the fridge and electric hook up missing. Too cut a long story short. 3mths yes 3 mths it took me to battle to get my money back and having to prove I didn't get the other 2 items. I will never use this company ever again be it in store or online.. How would they like it if I walked in and picked up the items missing and walked out the shop.”

“I ordered two fleeces in October of 2020 after 1 month of missed delivery dates I emailed and asked when my package would be delivered they said it was not sent due to a tech issue but it should be sent asap. At this point I lost interest and asked for my money back. Once that email was sent they stopped responding it has been 9 months since the initial purchase and still no refund or items”
