Good DofE advice

We visited the Chelmsford store to purchase DofE equipment. The assistant, Jeremy, was incredibly helpful offering valuable advice regarding boots, rucksack and sleeping bags. He even adjusted/fitted the rucksack correctly for us. Thank you Jeremy, I’m sure we’ll be back to purchase more before too long.

Customer service second to none

Customer service second to none! We spent quite a lot of time looking for items needed for the DofE expeditions. Dominic was very kind, patient and helpful-he truly made a difference to our shopping experience. The store is very well organised and we left feeling confident that we purchased quality products at a good price. We will definitely go back in the future!

New Merrells

Served by Rene today. He was amazing, understood immediately what I was looking for, and asked all the right questions. He threw in a couple of useful bits of information, sourced the walking shoe of choice, and off I went. One happy bunny.

Dominic was PERFECT!

Cannot describe how helpful, positive and lovely our experience was with Dominic in the Chelmsford Store. Our day was already stressful and hectic, but he helped us immensely by providing first class service, answering all of our silly little questions and all with a smile on his face and positive vibes! He was great and really made our day! Thankyou so much!

Great store with lots of hiking stuff

Great store with lots of hiking stuff. Have bought numerous hiking boots and related equipment here. Always really knowledgeable staff who are also friendly (some better than others and definitely better during the weekdays). Today we were served by Jeremy who is great and has served us before. We were looking for a new rucksack and Jeremy knew SO much about all the different rucksacks and how to fit them for the invidual. Great and we'll be back.

It’s looks like Blacks but it’s now called Ultimate Outdoors

It used to be Blacks it’s now ultimate outdoors & looks exactly the same inside, good range of hiking boots, trainers & hiking sandals. I was looking to buy a pair of the Keen hiking sandals, that were in the sale. Unfortunately they didn’t have my size in the pair I liked, but Jason brought out another pair not on display, they were perfect.

Had a great experience getting DofE items

Had a great experience yesterday (15th Aug) at the Chelmsford branch. Went there to purchase few items for DofE with my daughter. Had really good service in the footwear section and got good advice and help.
We needed other stuff like (rucksack, liners, sleeping bag etc. ) and we were served by another person who could not have been more helpful and friendly (sorry I can't remember his name - think it was John). He was able to recommend exactly what we needed and gave great advice.
I normally don't bother writing reviews so it just shows how good the service was here today.
