“Oex x-lite carbon walking poles. Bought a set (2) walking poles and unfortunately I lost one of the clamp nuts. When I tried to obtain a spare this could not be provided unless there was one ‘ laying around’. Wouldn’t it have been nice if someone had used there initiative and sent me one! No spares service as with other suppliers. Now I have one pole I cannot use. Great poles rubbish customer service”

“I bought a winter coat about a month ago from the Swindon outlet. Today the zipper broke. One of the teeth simply came off leaving me trapped in my own coat until finally I managed to pull the zipper down enough for me to step out of it. Go Outdoors is a waste of time and money. Don't bother with this. The quality is poor and in all honesty I regretted buying this coat from the moment I stepped out of the store. I was right. I should have left it where it was and go shopping somewhere else. It was my first purchase from Go Outdoors and it certainly going to be my last one. Disappointing.”

“They say they will beat any price but (surprise surprise) when I get to the till, ‘oh no, that site isn’t included’!!! I reluctantly purchased the winter down coat anyway as I needed it quickly, for £200 I expected a decent quality coat, I’ve only had it a week and can’t believe how many feathers have come out already! Hence to say when I return home my coat also will be getting returned! It is never a busy store, wonder why!! Too expensive for what you get plus they don’t stick to their word!”

“Great store and staff, only thing that grates on me is the large price on each product then in small print tells you this is the price with discount card! In my opinion kidoligy!”

“Worst website ever you can't buy the wellies you want without driving to Stoke or Liverpool to pick them up. No delivery to home option and when you go into your local store there are about 5 options but 30 on the website. Who are they kidding? Absolute joke buy from somewhere who can supply the product you actually want!!!! I would have given no stars but thats not an option either, surprise surprise!.”

“Staff in the Norwich store were great when I visited today, however, the changing rooms are appalling, curtains to the cubicles don't pull accross fully & don't go to the floor. Anyone in the store can see you trying things on.”

“I can't thank Josh and the Store manager at the Plymouth store enough. We purchased a Vango Verona Tent earlier on in the year from our Gloucester Store, when we arrived on holiday to pitch the tent we found 3 out of the 6 Airbeams had faults, We tried to keep the tent up as much as possible until we could contact someone the following day but completely collapsed on us during the night. 1 phone call to the nearest store which was in Plymouth ( we were in Newquay) and Josh said he would talk to the manager and get something sorted. We arrived a few hrs later and Andy the Manager said he hadn't got the exact one we purchased but could provide us with a exchange. We were so grateful and came away with a Areodome pro II tent, Its a fantastic tent easy to pitch and we feel a much better than our previous one we purchased ( location code 1365) Thank you to Josh & Andy for great customer service”

“Do not take any notice of the web site. Called in store to collect walking boots, they did not have the size required, despite the web site claiming that they are in stock. So pull your fingers out Go Outdoors and sort website out.”

“If you have a bargepole don't touch Go Outdoors with it. They take your money and only tell you they've cancelled your order due to no stock when you contact them to ask where it is and it still says 'processing' on your account. They lamely say their on-line stock may take a few minutes to update but this was an order I placed over 5 days ago and their website is still showing stock available and would still allow me to re-order it. Absolutely woeful - don't waste your time ordering from them - find another supplier.”

“Dreadful, ordered a LARGE grilling basket, a TEENY WEENY one arrived, tried emailing, completing the online contact form, phoning, exactly the same lack of response as everyone else, finally managed to speak to someone exactly 4 weeks after placing the original order, no apology, no acknowledgement of mistake just wanting me to take it to a collect plus depot miles away. Meh!”

“Don’t answer emails or when u phone them they are always updating something or other !! This is just the online part of the business the shops that I use always give good service 😊 Never used to be like this until JD SPORTS took them over I think and then it seems to have gone downhill 😕”

“Worst customer service ever! Website doesn’t work properly so I ended up ordering and paying twice. I then received two orders and had to return on. Took 2 weeks to get a refund! Customer services don’t answer emails or calls and last week you couldn’t even call them as they were ‘too busy to take calls!’”

“My friend and me wanted new walking boots and spent 2 hours in the store trying on - the employees, a young man and then Theresa were patient and helpful all the time. Thank you.”

“My experience replicates that of many of the other reviewers. No communication, 3-5 day delivery is a lie, sold a tent that doesn't exist, holiday cancelled as a result, lost deposits, disappointed kids etc. I feel well and truly fleeced. I will never buy from go outdoors again!”

“Is it possible to give 0 stars? I placed an order 8 days ago and paid £4.95 for 3-5 day delivery. I have now received an email to tell me that half of my order has been cancelled. They do not answer the phone. They do not answer emails. They just take your money! Yet continue to advertise on TV. Have they not seen the bad reviews and 100+ tweets from unhappy customers. And to top it off, the item that they have cancelled and told me they cannot fulfil, is still showing as available for delivery online.”

“Placed order, that said was in stock and was 3-5 day delivery took over 2 weeks to hear anything. Finally 2 and half weeks later get a email saying it's been dispatched, we are now on 3 weeks and still hasn't turned up. Sent 2 emails to customer services and haven't had any response.”
