Great quality and excellent value! It was easy to assemble, feels sturdy, and the adjustable height is perfect for growing kids. The large backboard really helps with shooting practice, and the stable... See more

Jumbo Brick Tower

I have not yet used the Jumbo Brick Tower. The weather has been too bad to try outside!!
However, it was dispatched very quickly and I was informed where it was and when it was being delivered.
Excellent service and am sure the game will be the same.

Big Game Hunters disappoint!

I went online to buy a Bee-Ball Optimum Basketball Stand at £349.99 including free delivery to U.K. Mainland. I tried to go to Checkout only to find that they had added £almost £48.00 for delivery to Aberdeen the oil capital of Europe and third largest City in Scotland! We are very much mainland U.K. There are many carriers who would easily include Aberdeen in their delivery areas at no extra charge but when I called Big Game Hunters they adopted a couldn`t care less attitude and refused to put me through to senior management to discuss their options to improve their services to Scotland. How can the United Kingdom remain United when such victimisation is allowed to continue?

Dear Alan,
We are very sorry that our delivery charge for that item was not acceptable to you. The item in question is an extremely large and heavy item which has to be delivered by a specialist courier.
Most carriers impose box size limits and weight limits. Only specialist carriers can take these products, and they impose the charges on us which we soak up to a degree but the costs are very high and unfortunately we have to pass on some of these charges. This is something that frustrates us a great deal, we can assure you.
These 'zones' are set by the couriers, based on location of their depots and frequency of deliveries to those areas. We would be usually soak up the delivery charges for smaller packages to your area as we can use mainstream couriers for these.
We have been unable to find a better carrier who can handle these items who does not charge huge fees for delivery to your area, but if you do know of one, we would be pleased to make contact with them.
As a member of the senior management team here I do take your concerns seriously and we are very sorry you feel you have not had good service from us.
Kindest regards, Big Game Hunters.

Provided with a faulty item but very impressed with how they dealt with it

I was provided with a faulty item initially so I got in touch with them straight away. The response was swift, pragmatic and above all left me with a feeling that my custom was important to them. I had a replacement item within 3 days of sending an email (a basketball ring in this case).

I've found that the measure of decent company is not just how often they get things right (no one's infallible after all), but also what they do about it when they don't. The customer service in this case was exceptional and so I would thoroughly recommend them.

Optimum Pro Basketball

We received the Optimum Pro basketball as a Christmas gift. Due to the couriers mishandling the packages, some of the items were damaged en route. I contacted customer service and they promptly emailed a reply and replaced the damaged item within a couple of days. I was very pleased with the customer service provided by Big Game Hunters.

Trampoline cover purchase

Ordered a trampoline cover to replace tan old one that was torn. Paid for standard delivery but was amazed to see it delivered the day after I had ordered. The trampoline cover is exactly what I wanted. It fits perfectly and the material is much thicker than I expected. Absolutely brilliant service and product.

Better quality than I feared and excellent delivery

Worried about the quality of the board and took a leap of faith after being unable to get adequate answers from them to my questions but it was unfounded. Checked out the details of this board from other suppliers but decided to stick with it. Well finished. Delivery was very quick - the next day in spite of not picking that. Excellent service.

Terrible customer service for my first purchase

Terrible customer service for my first order today. I ordered an item, paid extra for next day delivery as stated on the main website. Then got an email stating that it won’t come tomorrow, it will be Saturday. I phoned an spoke to a lady called Kim who was unhelpful, unsympathetic and downright rude.
I need the item tomorrow, that’s why I paid for express delivery. She would not cancel the order, and did not consider offering any options such as contacting the courier and seeing if they could expedite a speedier delivery.
The only option she gave me was to not accept the item and it will then be returned to the store. When this happens I will get a refund minus the postage, and she also refused to give a time frame for this.
She then hung up.
I checked the website and called back a second time. I quoted the website to her and asked to speak to a manager. She said no one was available and refused to give me the name of her line manager in order to contact them.
She then hung up, a second time.

I really did not expect to be treated so unprofessionally and poorly. Your member of staff was rude and abrupt from the outset.

Based on this experience I will not be buying anything from here again.
