The in-store assistance was good, but with online payment and in-store collection you’d normally expect next-day service. Waiting 14 days was far too long.

Very slow to refund

Unfortunately their returns policy states it can take upto 21days before a refund is issued ,I've only had to return items twice and on both occasions I have had to contact customer services as I have still been waiting.

First class customer service

I recently went to the Llandudno store to purchase some trousers. I was dealt with by Luke. Unfortunately the size that I needed were not in stock, however he was able to order them from their main warehouse and arrange for them to be delivered to my home address. The item arrived within 48 hours.
As a general rule I find the level of customer service provided in the UK is poor to say the least, Luke though was excellent. He was polite, helpful and knowledgeable. He is a credit to the company.

Wow outstanding customer service

Wow contacted mountain warehouse at Affinity Fleetwood to ask about Ohio boots spoke with Colin probably the most helpful shop assistant I’ve come across for a long time he went out of his way to check prices and available stock so helpful I got in the car and drove to the store where both himself and Kim the other member of staff went out of there way to guide me through their products I will certainly be recommending this store and to the management these 2 members of staff are a credit to the company

Really helpful staff at Fox Valley

Really helpful staff at the Fox Valley, Sheffield store helped me to organise my three young children for a trip to Lapland in December. Snow boots, ski jackets, thermals etc etc. The advice and guidance made it an easy process with very excited kids!

Poor customer service

I ordered a jacket, delivery mentioned 3-5 days. 15 days and counting.. Still not delivered.

And the only option the customer service offer is a refund!

Very poor shipping service and the customer service.

I would not recommend order anything online!

Failure to complete Customer Service commitments

Back in July Mountain Warehouse failed to deliver standard outdoor products. I already reviewed that step of their service.
More than a month later I was still billed for the products that the business failed to deliver to my home. This, despite assurance from too many Mountain Warehouse Customer Service operatives to make their business model credible.
Extremely disappointed in Mountain Warehouse forcing me to resort to involving my credit card company.
Once upon a time, Mountain Warehouse, I was a loyal seasonal customer of yours. You need to nurture your flock, not neglect them by providing manic levels of unfocused e-customer service attention.

Inferior yet more expensive women's clothes!

The staff were lovely, but I am very disappointed that the range of women's clothes is not only limited, but more expensive than the men's range.
The reflective cycle jacket that I wanted to buy was, in the men's, a much better quality, with a lining & thicker fabric than the women's which was a thinner fabric with no mesh lining. The women's jacket was £10 more expensive! Unfortunately the smallest men's size was too big for me.
This happens in other clothing & footwear lines as well - very sexist & frustrating!

Excellent customer service.

A pair of walking shoes that were nearly a year old had developed a damaged toe through no fault of mine. The staff at the Ulverston branch replaced them without a quibble. Excellent customer care delivered by friendly helpful staff. Thank you.

Saved by Daisy Glover in Customer Support!

I stupidly submitted an online order and missed out my street address and just gave the village and postcode! I thought I was going to have to stand in the street and flag down all the passing delivery vans to find my parcel but Daisy sorted it out for me!
Thanks so much!

Well done Ciaran, manager of the Perth store

We have been purchasers of Mountain Warehouse products for a number of years. We visit a variety of stores in our locality regularly. We have found a huge difference in the operation of the Perth store since Ciaran became the manager. The layout is much improved and the whole atmosphere is much more welcoming. The current online ordering system, whilst necessary during the pandemic, has recently left a lot to be desired. There is confusion for the customer where items may have a slightly different description, code and even price and yet when they arrive, they are basically the same item. On a recent order a twin pack of the same item and colour arrived with one item of the requested colour and correctly labelled, while the other was of a different colour and no label. There was no explanation note. Multiple items are sent in separate packages with invoices which do not seem to relate to the items in the packets and which also show differing total price. If this sounds complicated it is and is difficult to decipher. We were lucky that Ciaran was on duty that day we visited the store to ask for help in checking that we had not been overcharged and to return and reorder some items in different sizes, etc. Ciaran was so helpful, and he dealt with the situation in a calm and competent way which made the whole experience bearable. He took all the stress out of a difficult and complex return. He also made us feel such valued customers that we have decided to stick with the Mountain Warehouse products while remaining frustrated with the company’s way of doing business. Thank you Ciaran we cannot sing your praises highly enough.

Mountainware house Tavistock

The team at Tavistock Mountain ware House are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
It is very rare to find a shop which puts customer service as the most important factor when dealing with customers. Many thanks for your patience in sorting out and ensuring the correct walking boots fitted and suitable for walking on Dartmoor

Take an purchase back and given gift card

Manager Sam at Winchester rude and dismissive take a purchase back and no receipt given but online one issued !! Never received not in junk or bin or anywhere else Sam said I had to have a gift card for the return as there was no proof of purchase!? Clearly shown on label that hadn’t been removed from garment in there own bag that I was charged 20p for !? I’m a 52 yr old man who had regularly purchased from mountain warehouse never again !! Managers should try to engage with customers not dismiss i hope that the gift card makes up for the loss of custom as I will not entertain buying again very poor customer services

Mountain Warehouse let down by courier

I had 2 items to return. The courier should have collected them the day after I requested the return but over a week later I still had them. The customer service agent tried escalating the matter and didn't give up but Evri (formerly Hermes) stopped answering her emails. After 9 days Mountain Warehouse refunded the money and told me to keep the items. So, excellent customer service from MW but not Evri.

What fantastic service at the Evesham…

What fantastic service at the Evesham branch, yet again. Elliott the manager is so friendly, helpful and accommodating; great prices and products too! Many thanks for getting my son kitted out for a wonderful trip to Cambodia.
More shops need to have staff like this!

Evesham store

Staff were so helpful and accomodating. They were cheerful and nothing was too much trouble.

Always so helpful and if something isn’t in store they always offer to help source online.

A joy to visit !
