“Go Outdoors did not print my review”

★★★☆☆

written by pwilliams on 22/02/2018

The reviews on the North Ridge's Hybrid Spirit Down Jacket on the Go Outdoors website are all 5*. I sent them a 3* review, shown below and they did not include it. Can you trust their reviews? My research led me to believe this was the perfect jacket for me. When I first tried it on, the fit, the appearance and the hood all seemed perfect and I was really pleased. After a few minutes I became aware that it was extremely tight under my arms. I tried many other jackets and none had this problem. I was very disappointed that I could not buy it.

“Boots are quite heavy and big around the top therefore...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 08/02/2017

Boots are quite heavy and big around the top therefore more suitable for thick calves. So I am not very happy with them. However, thick soles are good for frosty ground and do keep my feet warmer.

“Not impressed ”

★★★☆☆

written by fdPereira256 on 07/02/2017

After going online and reserving a product. I find on collection they had reserved the wrong item. Luckily I found the right one on the shop floor the member of staff that I spoke to could not be bothered to help me find the right one. There was only one left I had driven 30 miles to pick this up it could have been a wasted journey.

“Cheap as expected”

★★★☆☆

written by sqBenton81 on 02/02/2017

At the reduced price of £20, was worth the money, but the extra cost of postage (£5!?!?) Pushed it a little over the edge. Definitely not worth it without the discount.

“I purchased a jacket and paid the extra for next day...”

★★★☆☆

written by Chaim104 on 01/02/2017

I purchased a jacket and paid the extra for next day delivery, however this did not happen and I had to wait an additional 24 hours. This was the only thing that let you down. I was refunded the delivery cost after I made contact. Such a shame that I had to chase the delivery and would have been better if you had contacted me about the delay. The jacket itself is amazing and of excellent value and quality and exactly as advertised. Exactly what I needed to walk around the freezing temperatures of Central Europe where the temperature dropped to -12 degrees. It certainly kept me warm !

“A story of poor delivery.”

★★★☆☆

written by JulianGuy on 06/01/2017

I ordered 4 items from Go Outdoors, hoping that by paying for next day delivery, they would arrive before Christmas 2016. The Silva compasses, walking socks and prusik cord are all good quality and good value for money. I'd recommend these. Such a shame that Go Outdoors were let down by UK Mail, their delivery provider. Delivery dd not take place on the next working day as paid for. Then, short notice was given of the expected delivery, so it was missed at my end. I then gave UK Mail two days notice of an alternative delivery date, this was accepted by them but no delivery appeared. On contcating UK mail, I was advised my delivery had been pout bak to the following week. This service is unacceptable. Go Outdoors refunded my delivery charges. They were severely let down by their courier. It would have been useful to have known of UK Mail's operating unreliability before ordering.

“No point in ordering..!”

★★★☆☆

written by CLT88J2 on 18/12/2016

Ordered 3 items online for home delivery. Only 2 charged for and arrived, despite the 3rd item showing as being in stock. Also placed an order for collection at a store a few months back and they were not aware of any order at all. Shocking online experience. My instore experiences have been hit and miss. Over in Pudsey I received excellent customer services, however in their store near Cheadle there seemed to be a lot of staff not doing much, and I waited over 5 minutes for someone to come and open the changing room so I could try on some clothes (seems as though ordering online was rubbish), and no one came for 15 minutes. I ended up trying the clothes on in the shop floor on top of my own clothes. An absolute joke. Despite the excellent service I received in Pudsey I will now not be returing to Go Outdoors for anymore products.

“Good company with sales.”

★★★☆☆

written by charlesbhachu on 11/12/2016

After black Friday on Sunday I ordered a jacket which was only £20 on sale from £70. I checked on Monday(next day) and It was £63. I am very happy with the company about the great products they sell and sale it for the limited time. I would say that the delivery is a bit expensive. especially when you pay for the delivery then you would expect quicker than it usually comes. My delivery for my jacket arrived 5 and half days later. I would recommend them to get the delivery prices cheaper, because there are some companies which do free delivery and get the products delivered next day or within 3 days. Only a bit disappointed with the delivery. Other than that I am very satisfied with the company.

“Be warned”

★★★☆☆

written by anthonydwarren on 09/12/2016

Bought a pair of thinsulate gloves, very good value and a decent product. Downside is that I find I have inadvertently paid another fiver for a go outdoors discount card. Now I have to try to cancel it and get a refund. Aggravation I can do without!

“Big sleeping bag!”

★★★☆☆

written by C.Wit on 08/12/2016

Great price, which hooked me in, but I bought this online and didn't realise quite how cumbersome it would be. This isn't a hiking sleeping bag! It's fairly heavy and very large, as it's not very compressible. Unless you're camping out of a car, it'd certainly be worth investing in something lighter and more compact. I wouldn't buy it again, and will probably need something different to go light on long hikes. It might just about do DofE, but even for that you'd probably prefer to save on weight and space by going smaller and lighter than this beast. In short: don't bother, unless you're just looking for a cheap sack for a caravan or camping straight from your car.

“Good for dog walking”

★★★☆☆

written by Gracef1945 on 02/12/2016

this is my second pair of these after the first pair wore through on the soles. They are a good waterproof boot for soggy dog walks. Only complaint was the first pair didn't last longer than 3 years, but then they had been worn everyday so maybe it was just a lot of wear and tears.

“Craghoppers lined trousers”

★★★☆☆

written by Zaiden160 on 29/11/2016

Warm but basic. Unlike my regular Craghoppers this design has no secure zip pocket or phone pocket. Good price though.

“this little blower takes its time but does the job”

★★★☆☆

written by george-ives on 24/10/2016

Van life, there are just some things a girl will always want. This little fold-up bright colored hair-dryer is compact, quite, fold-up, not as strong as an electric dryer for obvious reasons, like being 12v. it demists my my old van windscreen quicker than the van-fan and we are ok with the price and quality. when hooked up use the electric.

“Good choice of merchandise, service iffy”

★★★☆☆

written by BlokeInLincoln on 15/10/2016

I rather enjoy going into my local store (Lincoln) because it's interesting to have a wander round. What my wife calls a "boy shop" - there you go, sexism alive and well in the 21st century female. Enjoyment aside, my major beef is that when I've been in to buy footwear and accessories, finding a member of staff to provide help and advice has always been a problem. There simply aren't enough people available and there's no guarantee that the member of staff you eventually find knows anything at all about, say, boots. Second time in there involved a 20 minute wait while the one staff member in the walking / hiking area finished off giving advice to another customer. Good for the staff member (and he was good), not so good for customers. The discount card scheme is a little bit "smoke and mirrors" - I've yet to save any money compared with what I good have paid elsewhere, but it's certainly worth a few quid to be able to see / try / talk about the goods.

“Mess the order up”

Sent the wrong sizes shoes. Better for me to travel 25miles to pick up the correct pair.

“Great product. Slow delivery ”

★★★☆☆

written by debbiedonut14 on 06/10/2016

I wanted to stock up on winter fleece jumpers and went to my local store, in Colchester. There were no size 10 jumpers in the colours I wanted so I tried on the same design to ensure the fit was ok. I then went home and placed order for 6 jumpers. It then took almost two weeks for them to arrive. Far slower than I had been expecting. The jumpers are just as advertised and fit for purpose so I am pleased with them just a little disappointed with speed of delivery. There wasn't an update on my order until just before they arrived.

That's strange, maybe you should escalate it - I bought a dual ring gas cooker then realised it was cheaper elsewhere once I got home. When I went back they refunded me the difference and the 10%. It does depend where it's cheaper though. I think they have Ts & Cs you need to check out.

Did they give you a reason why? I had no problem with getting a price match & 10% on my items. I did have to provide links to the competitor's website that they could check

We bought a winter walking jacket and whilst still in the store my son Googled on his phone the name of the jacket and found it cheaper from an on-line retailer. We showed the cashier the phone screen and they honoured their price guarantee and reduced it by a further 10%. They did take a note of the website and the price (including delivery). As long as you can prove the lower price elsewhere (remember to include any delivery charges) on the same day as your purchase I would challenge it.

Hi, I have always found Go Outdoors to be very good when it comes to price matching. There are some conditions to the price match though, you might want to check them out. The item must be the same, cheaper including delivery charges and in stock on the day, our local store looks on a computer and prints out the item in order to price match. I hope this helps.

No! I have used this price guarantee many times and did so recently to buy a new tent and cooker. I have also used it when buying several tents for our Outdoor Education department in school. As long as you have proof they have always honoured this guarantee. Maybe should take this further.

Agree with the other answers, always honour it as long as you can prove the item is available either to buy that day or for immediate delivery. You can't get it on back-order items or items where the complete price, i.e. with delivery, is more than their price. Doesn't include e-bay or other auction sites, has to be a recognised retailer. If you did provide this proof in-store then you should take it further. Full Ts&Cs are on their website to check what is included in the offer.

I have used this facility twice. The first time they matched the price only, not the minus 10% though but only as a good will gesture because they said my size wasn't in stock, on the cheaper site. The second time I covered myself by checking stock availability first and had no problem having the full promise met.

Done this several times and they have always honoured it. Sometimes takes awhile online but, personally, i've had no problems.

Agree with the other answers. I only had to use this facility once and had no problem whatsoever. You do need proof of price and availability though. My item was priced VERY much cheaper on line, but after checking, they honoured the agreement in full. No quibbles.

Again, I agree with the other postings. My comparison was on walking boots and involved a price MUCH lower. My local GO checked the website, accepted the difference and gave the additional 10% - all in very good grace. No problem, so do pursue it - IF you are sure you meet the T & Cs

yes, I had a price match and the 10%. Ask to speak to the manager to explain why he/she isn't honouring their policy.

I researched the price of my walking boots before going to the store. They checked with the website I gave them. The boot and size were in stock. They honoured the price and took off the additional 10%. No problem at all. The price comparison has to be in stock, both in style, colour and size. I suspect this person maybe faulted in one of these area`s.

I am also surprised, as I told them about the retailer and price of some Berghaus boots and I got the difference plus 10% no problem. I would ask why they are refusing to honour the price promise?
