“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”

“Terrible customer service - wellington boots are leaking within months of purchasing from them online. Emailed twice with full details and no response. Then called them and they won't replace or let me send them in for replacement, they expect me to drive to my "nearest" store which would be a 2-3 hour round trip depending on traffic. No offer to refer to a manager - only option is to take into store. Not good enough guys!”

“False pretences. Went into their Warrington store with my son today and bought a pair of waterproof trousers for his birthday. Labelled up at £50 but when got to the till was charged £70. When questioned, the cashier said that was the club card price and I would need to buy a membership for £5. She also said that this was stated on the price ticket. However if it was I was unable to read it, it was that small. Sharp practice if you ask me and certainly will avoid Go Outdoors in future!”

“Went to Thurrock store Sunday 25/7/21 to buy wife's walking boots. Selected a pair of boots which were priced £100.00. When I got to the till I was asked if I wanted a membership card. I declined. Cashier then said the boots were £1135.00. I objected and pointed out they were clearly marked up for £100.00. Her answer was the advertised price was with membership discount. If I wanted the boots at that price I would have to pay £5.00 for a card. My wife wanted the boots so I paid for the card. Staff were completely unhelpful. The store could not measure feet either. I wonder if the practice is even legal. There should have been a clear notice saying the price advertised was only available with a membership card. Does anybody know if the practice is legal?”

“Two orders lost . Third one somewhere in pipeline. Semi abusive staff when chased up. A manager I spoke to says warehouse is in chaos , and for me "not to hold my breath" for delivery! Says if comes in the 10 day period I'll be very lucky. Shocking company , buy elsewhere.”

“By far the worse service ever. Ordered a 12V fridge on 03/07/2021 and was clearly quoted 5 to 10 day delivery. After 5 days the generic text arrived telling me that it is being picked. I cancelled the order on 14/07 as it was more than 10 days. Then to be told on 19/07 that the order can't be cancelled as it is now in store for collection. The worse company ever, will strongly advise people to not order online as the service is non existing.”

“Ordered a BBQ online from gooutdoors.co.uk. 11 days later after numerous text saying it's being processed and also contacting customer support to be told it was being processed. Now currently on the phone to them having being told the order hasn't even arraived at the warehouse... WTF??? I've now been told that the orders been sent to the warehouse and will be sent as a priority. Disappointing service.”

“Arrived today at the Newcastle store to purchase hundreds of pounds worth of camping equipment. We need everything from a stove, chairs, beds, cooler box, water carrier etc. All bulky stuff so need a trolley. Couldn't find a single one. I asked a member of staff who just shrugged and said none were available. I spotted and empty one and asked if I could use that and she said no she was using it! I hope whatever you paid her for her shift today was worth it because she lost you a sale. I asked another member of staff who again just said none available. I looked around and it wasn't like many people had trolleys so they mustn't have many. This is precisely why people purchase from Amazon and stores are closing down!”

“Ordered our tent and other camping orders on line, website states it will be delivered within 10 days, how ever that is a lie, I kept receiving texts to say it will all be sent soon so I felt a little concerned as kept getting the same message so rang customer support only to find out my tent was cancelled for delivery and my other items won't arrive before the 10 days. To top it off I camt get a refund till they decided to finally post the items and then I have to wait another 10 days for a refund, so beware the take your money and have no interest in sending you what you ordered and all you will get is a sorry.”

“Avoid! Bought several items to collect from store. Told they’d arrived, only to get there and find only one of them had. Which turns out to be incorrect. 3 weeks later I called the store who can’t tell me when the items will turn up at their store, despite them all showing as in stock and available within a week. Managers and customer service all a joke. Go elsewhere, even if the item costs a bit more, terrible company.”

“Absolutely shocking stock management system, Went to buy a new tent with Autistic son (big change) and drove all the way to shop to look and walk artound tent l was informed that the only stock was they had actually display so could not sell. Then advised to order on line....Drive home check web site shows stock so order one only for it to be cancelled shortly after. This caused further upset to son (and me) so l spoke to customer services who appologised and offered discount but would contact me on Sun to look at other tents.....No call occurred but the web site was showing stock so after a 25min call to customer services who checked stock and confirmed they had 149 in stock so l ordered....no suprise when ten minutes later recieved another cancellation email. Very poor stock management and to a degree customer services...will avoid in future”

“Returned 2 items on 2 separate days only about 4 days apart. it has taken nearly 8 weeks and I've lost count of how many emails and proof of postage that I've sent to get my refunds. it's an absolute joke I will never order online from go outdoors again. One very unhappy customer.”

“Have been trying for 6 weeks now to have the missing items from my order to be delivered. Hermes delivered the Coleman’s event shelter but the 2 sun walls I ordered with it were not delivered. I contacted go outdoors immediately and I was sent a form to complete which I did. That was 6 weeks ago. Go outdoors you need to send me my items and deal with Hermes separately. As your customer you have a duty to honour the order. I’m not happy having to constantly chase and getting no where.”

“Order David £200 worth of items not going to go into that this company uses Hermes for its deliveries so I suggest you do not order from go outdoors for delivery do a click and collect instead as Hermes are the worst career service in the world two days in a row they have emailed me to say they've attempted delivery but I have CCTV video footage that proves they've not even come to my house which I already knew as I was in the delivery should've been between 7 pm and 9 pm absolute joke cannot contact terms go outdoors are saying you need to contact firms which you can't do refusing to refund telling me I must refuse the parcel for them to be returned to then get My money back what an absolute joke as the parcels are not going to come it has now been 14 days since ordering have raised case with PayPal which I suggest you use for all pages at go outdoors I am now requesting that my membership fee be returned as well and I will never shop at this joke of a company ever again. Still waiting for refund”

“Very dubious trading practices! Their products are often out of stock, but they continue to sell those items online and do not notify customers of known delivery delays. They will not give anticipated delivery dates and will not cancel orders that have failed to be delivered, leaving the customer to wait for excessive periods of time for their goods, arrange for a return and wait for refunds. Customer service is incredibly poor - they don’t respond to emails and are unwilling to help resolve issues. I was waiting for items to be delivered in time for a holiday and when it became clear Go Outdoors were unable to give me a delivery date within 10 days, so I telephoned to ask for the order to be cancelled. While this is a consumer right, Go Outdoors claim not to be able to cancel the order before it’s left the warehouse. The goods are now due to arrive while I’m away, leaving me unable to return and get a refund, but their customer services team were totally uninterested and ‘can only apologise.’ Avoid Blacks, Millets and Go Outdoors!”

“Been a week order still has not been picked. Called online to cancel and you can't cancel an order. Thankfully it wasn't a large order so I will just cut my losses, but put simply this is exactly how you do not get a returning customer.”
