Order and was delivered a couple of days early. The email/text from the courier was sent on the original delivery date so I was surprised by the early delivery! Items were as described.

Kind regards,

Great Jacket with prompt delivery

Great Jacket with prompt delivery. I would have scored 5stars only for the shop to leave the security magnet inside the jacket. I now have to bring the jacket back to the shop to remove the magnet. Defeats the purpose of buying this jacket online. Otherwise everything is grand (Martin P)

Hello!

We’re very sorry to hear that the security tag was left inside the jacket. That certainly should not have happened.

Most larger retailers such as Tesco or Dunnes can remove security tags for you if you show your proof of purchase. If they need confirmation, they are welcome to call any of our stores and we can verify the purchase directly.

While this does not undo the inconvenience, we hope it saves you a longer journey and allows you to have it resolved locally and quickly.

If you run into any difficulty at all, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Kind regards,
53 Degrees North

I would give zero stars if I could

I would give zero stars if I could. I placed an order in good faith, only for it to be cancelled due to a "stock error" on their end. While mistakes happen, it’s how a company handles them that matters—and this company is a masterclass in poor customer service.
Instead of making it right, they offered a "goodwill" discount that was so heavily restricted it was practically useless. When I tried to find a resolution, I was met with a cold, scripted response quoting the Consumer Rights Act and telling me they had no "contractual obligation" to do anything more than refund my money.
Providing a refund for an item you couldn't actually supply isn't "good service"—it’s the bare minimum required by law. They clearly have no interest in customer loyalty or basic accountability. If you want a company that actually values your business and keeps their inventory accurate, look elsewhere. Avoid.

We’re sorry to hear that this experience was disappointing and we understand how frustrating it is when an order cannot be fulfilled due to a stock error.

As soon as the issue was identified, the order was cancelled and fully refunded. In addition to this, our team made several attempts to find a suitable resolution by offering alternative jackets, including newer season jackets that were not on sale at the original sale price, as well as comparable jackets available at the same sale price.

Unfortunately, the only outcome requested was a specific jacket and colour that was already out of stock and will not be returning for the season. As much as we tried to find an alternative, this was not something we were able to supply.

While a full refund is the required resolution in this situation, our team went beyond this in an effort to reach a fair outcome. We regret that we could not meet the specific request and that this led to dissatisfaction.

We appreciate all feedback and remain committed to treating customers fairly and transparently when issues arise.

Ignored in shop

I walked into the store in Blanchardtown with a €500 budget for walking shoes and sleeping bag. I was the only person in the shop and I was completely ignored by the staff for at least 20 minutes.
So I just walked out.

No returns or replacements

I tried returning a faulty product (gloves that started disintegrating after 2 weeks) to the Arnotts shop but was directed back to the branch I purchased it in (Carrickmines). What's the point of having branches if they cannot deal with your customer base? Avoid

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, due to how Arnotts operates, we cannot offer exchanges or returns at our Arnotts concession for items purchased in our other three locations, and vice versa. We understand this can be frustrating, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our service.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at webstore@53degreesnorth.ie.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to serve you better in the future.

I logged a complaint about an item. Management called me, clearly explained the background, and resolved the issue. They were happy to offer a refund. Great customer service.
