“After a lot of delay buying walking boots at their Norwich Branch i received a parking fine for £100 from G24 parking. I appealed this proving that the till receipt was timed at 15.15 pm , and their photographic evidence was timed at 15 .17 pm . Go Outdoors claim that the parking fine is nothing to do with them.”

“The prices are good so long as you buy a Go Outdoors discount card. They make it almost compulsory to have one because without it the prices are outrageous! And if you question the advertised prices, you get short shrift. Not especially happy with this situation.”

“I was charged twice for £130 walking boots and after many emails/calls over 4 weeks later I was refunded. However, few days later in September 2021 about 20/30 camp beds were delivered to my address in husbands name (named on boot order). It's £200/300 worth of merchandise we did not order. I have emailed many many times but each time I seem to get different operator. I have sent photos of excessive order etc but still nothing. An awful experience shopping with GO Outdoors online and I most certainly will not be back nor recommending. Absolute nightmare.”

“Absolutely dreadful service! Avoid buying anything online folks! That’s been two orders I haven’t received with no notifications of where the items are. Trying to talk with any of their team on the phone is appalling due to the noise in the background! Absolute shambles!!!”

“I ordered a garment on line, paid for it and received an email to say it would be 3-5 days. Now 5 days on and nothing. The carrier has only just collected it from wherever it was stocked to be delivered to my local store. Really frustrating because I wanted it for my holiday. In store, customer service is mediocre and the range of products isn’t what it used to be. Disappointing experience”

“I doubt anybody’s sorry in go outdoors. Brought some walking boots for £140 from Norwich after waiting an age to get served and failing to notice a parking time limit on what I believed to be their car park received £100 fine for exceeding limit three weeks later tried complaining absolutely POINTLESS. Tom the supervisor hung on me , won’t be buying anything else ever tosser!! Ps don’t know how providing an email address verifies a purchase,”

“Awful experience. They continuously made mistakes with my orders and cancelled items for being out of stock. Multiple customer support assistants asserted that they were in stock, and that cancelling them was a mistake/glitch. Then they failed to refund me for all of my orders, when it was meant to be automatic. Finally after refunding me correctly they took MORE money from my account and marked it as a purchase, when I didn't authorise anything; I made no purchase! I can't seem to get my money back and It's been exhausting chasing them. Furthermore, they do not have sufficient information on their own-brand products, such as items by "North Ridge". For instance, they have no idea what some of the fabrics used are, which is awful for walking gear. Unfortunately customer support couldn't help either. The only positive of this site is that their call centre employees are very polite & helpful in my experience. However, I can't say the same for their the email customer support, which was very bad. They gave incorrect information, didn't seem to actually read my messages and seemed more like automatic replies.”

“I went to Canterbury store today to buy a pair of walking boots, a member of staff asked if we needed help, after asking several questions the member of staff said she would get someone else to help us as she couldn’t answer simply enquiries, unfortunately the next member of staff equally had very little knowledge of the products, durability etc etc she gave us a pair to try and then walked away not even waiting to see if they fit offer more help etc etc , very disappointed is an understatement so we walked out with no boots/shoes!”

“They cancelled my order before dispatch due to a systems issue, when I called about a refund, they said they'd given it and PayPal must not have passed it on and there was nothing more they could do. I also had another order with them where they cancelled but refunded the out of stock items but not the discount card, which never turned up. Just as well as I have no use for it. I would not recommend these cowboys to anyone and will never shop there again. If you like throwing money away, then feel free to ingore this review.”

“Advertise a price on the shelf and in store and a 30% discount get to the till full asking price with no discount unless you sign up which they want to charge you for also. Looked online and actually found it 33% cheaper and more local. So my take on Go Outdoors over priced and paying to join a club which gives you no benefit is a complete waste of anyones time and money.”

“Avoid buying anything from them online. Absolute shambles. 3 weeks after ordering a Rab jacket, still not arrived. Phoned customer services, they told me that they had contacted the store and that the jacket was now out for delivery to me - wrong! Another week and the jacket still hasn’t arrived. Emailed them today, no reply but email from PayPal informing me that I have just been refunded £86. Looks like the company is going under, beware.”

“This company should not be allowed to trade, it is totally disfunctional. My advice is to avoid them. Took 2 month to get a refund on a cancelled order, thanks to paypal resolution centre. The company CS would not go it. It seems their policy is not to refund anyone.”

“After making two different borders at two separate times u have same result.The item is out of stock and apply for refund.So all the time you spent looking for the right product is wasted .The money side could be seen that they are doing this multiple times every day to keep a flow of money coming into their bank account.A few thousand customers a week equals a nice income on interest.I feel let down and I would not recommend anyone uses them if they value their time and money.”
