Delivery let them down a little

Cant argue with their website or the choice of products. The price for my backpack was a good price so I was happy however, I paid for overnight delivery and ordered well before 14:00 as per their delivery terms sadly and is often the case with many companies the goods arrived 2 days. Wouldn't put me off using them again but would only use them if I could wait for the order

Thank you for your honest feedback. We are glad you were happy with the price and our product range, but we are sincerely sorry that the overnight delivery service let you down this time.

It is always frustrating when a courier misses that target after you have paid for speed, so we appreciate your understanding and your willingness to give us another try in the future.

ABSOLUTE LEGENDS, FINEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

Ok, I must say this is one of the very few great company with awesome customer service that I've come across.

I found a similar product on a different site (cheapest) and also on there site but it was more expensive with Absolute snow(and every other site for that matter). I seen that they had a price match option so I reached out to them to see what they can do for me (this email was sent on late Saturday/evening so wasn't expecting anything (reply) till Monday as they close for the weekends) To my surprise I get an email on the Sunday (out of hours) already stating that they will honour the price match but did one better, even cheaper. Only problem was that the free shipping that was standard reverted back to be chargeable.

To my excitement to wanting to get the product anyway I bought it none the less the Sunday. Well come Monday I receive an email stating they seen the charge of the shipping and refunded it straight away.

So price matched, shipping refunded and now I've paid less then anywhere I can find on the web. What more can I say...this companies customer service is second to none and should be the example to all other companies.

Special thanx goes to Rianna who dealt with my purchase from start to finish, her compassion, understanding and just brilliant overall service is to be applauded! Prompt email follow ups, making sure that any issue with the purchase be resolved no matter the obstacle. Her empathy, caring for the customer nature and thoughtful approach is just a marvel and joyful trait. Very much infectious!! Please everyone in Absolute Snow give her a big hug from me and give her a raise Absolute Snow!! RIANNA YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!

Double thumbs up, high 5s, fist pumps and big Kudos

We are thrilled that we could go the extra mile to get you the best deal on the web and get that shipping sorted out for you. We will make sure Rianna sees this immediately—she truly is a legend here, and she will be over the moon to hear such kind words (and receive the virtual hug!).

Thanks for the high fives and fist pumps!

Pretty bad service

Pretty bad service.

Bought some snowboarding boots, to which I get an email to say that they're not in stock anymore. Mistakes happen, but as I urgently need them they said they'd send out a replacement pair at the same price if I have a look on their website. I did so fairly quickly, and haven't heard anything back since.

No refund, no response and now going away without any snowboarding boots which i'll have to buy whilst i'm away which will likely be triple the price.

Poor customer service.

Reply from Absolute Snow

We're incredibly sorry for the frustration and for the fact that you’ve had to head off on your trip without your new boots. This is definitely not the stellar experience we want for our customers, especially when an epic trip is on the line.

We've looked into your order and the communication trail to see where things went wrong. It appears your reply with the replacement choice came through on New Year’s Day. As our team was away for the UK Bank Holiday, we weren't able to pick up your message until we returned.

By the time we were back in the office and processed your request, we realised we had unfortunately missed the window to get those boots to you before your departure date. Because we couldn't guarantee they would arrive in time for your holiday, we followed your request and issued a full refund immediately to ensure you had the funds available.

We know this doesn't help with the inconvenience of having to source boots at the resort, and for that, we are truly sorry. We hope you still managed to have an epic time on the slopes.

Top Class Service. Ordered an Osprey bag which had 50% off + an extra 15% with a voucher code, incredibly cheap. Literally got delivered to my door less than 24 hours after ordering! A*

That is absolutely stellar! Getting an epic deal like that on an Osprey bag and having it land on your doorstep in less than 24 hours is what we love to hear.

We’re stoked you’re happy with the price and our lightning-fast delivery. Enjoy your new pack—it sounds like you're all set for some incredible missions!

Absolute-Snow Absolute-Heros

My girlfriend bought skis from another shop and on the Friday they were meant to arrive had not even hit the workshop yet and couldn't be guaranteed to be with us before we leave on the trip the following Thursday.
So we cancelled that order and called Absolute-Snow as the only place we could find with stock of the size and a potential workshop turnaround. The lady on the phone spoke to the workshop and said if we ordered that morning they could get them drilled, mounted and shipped that day (Friday). Which we did and they did, and skis arrived Monday!
Fantastic service from an SOS (Save Our Skitrip) call.

That is an absolutely epic "Save Our Skitrip" story!

We are stoked our team could jump into action, getting those skis mounted and shipped the same day to beat your deadline. It’s a stellar result, and we’re thrilled we could help get you both ready for the mountains.

Have an amazing time on the slopes!

Terrible after sale care

This company has been the main source of our equipment and accessories, that we have been buying over the years and we always remained loyal customers. However, everything has changed the moment we had an issue with one of the items. It's been over two weeks now; endless emails back and forth, and absolute snow doesn't seem to be willing to solve the issue, but blames their supplier for not getting back to them.
It has completely knocked our confidence in this company and we will definitely think twice before we purchase anything from them ever again.

We are incredibly sorry that this warranty process has knocked your confidence in us. We truly value your loyalty over the years and want to get you back to having stellar experiences with us.

While we always try to resolve warranty issues ourselves, there are times when we must liaise with the brand for technical advice. Because they were taking too long to provide a resolution for you, we did make the decision to step in and have advised that you return the item to us for a full refund.

We know how important it is to have reliable gear for your epic trips, and we don’t want you held up by supplier delays. We are stoked to have had you as a loyal customer for so long and hope this resolution helps restore your faith in our service.

Dreadful company tried to place an order and the website payment system crashed, 2 days later I got an email to say my order was being despatched.

I rang customer services to say id place an order elsewhere as I had had no confirmation email but was told I had to send the order back to get a refund for something I didn’t confirm.

Apparent they have issues with the payment system, order confirmation emails and their live chat didn’t work.

We are incredibly sorry for the frustration caused by this technical glitch. This is certainly not the stellar experience we aim to provide.

Because the order processed and dispatched before we could stop it, please use our returns portal to send it back once it arrives. We did provide a free return for you to make this as easy as possible.

Regarding our systems, our Live Chat is active and managed by a bot; if it can’t solve your query, it will automatically pass you to an agent. We’re working hard to ensure everything runs at an epic standard to ensure that all customer receive their order confirmation emails..

Someone else’s skis received

I ordered some skis and bindings then received someone else’s skis.

I urgently need my own skis but have been unable to discuss this with customer service. I called them and they were only able to offer that they would email me and would ‘aim’ to do so today. I have tried reaching them via their chat bot too.
If my skis have not yet been sent to someone else, they could resolve this problem much more easily if they were able to check this now and prevent them being delivered somewhere else.

The skis that did arrive were poorly packaged - just loose in a cardboard box that was too big for them with no padding or anything to secure them so I imagine they will be damaged during the delivery and re delivery process as the box is already starting to break.

I will update this review pending the response and resolution from customer service but for now have not been able to discuss this them.

We are truly sorry for this ski mix-up and the frustration with our initial customer service response. This is not the stella experience we aim for.

We are relieved to hear our team has been in touch. We have arranged a collection for the incorrect skis and are prioritising getting your correct skis out to you as soon as we can.

Thank you for your patience; we'll ensure this is resolved quickly and safely!

NEVER buy from Absolute-Snow

With Absolute-Snow, I have had the worst experience I’ve ever had with a seller. Never trust this company, and never buy anything from them. When placing an order, I made a mistake in the address, realized it immediately, and contacted them via the contact form on their website. Despite this, they eventually sent the order to the wrong address, either ignoring my message or experiencing problems with their system. I then contacted them through another channel (this time by email) and received a very offensive response suggesting that I was lying about having contacted them earlier.

Reply from Absolute Snow

We're incredibly sorry to read about your deeply frustrating experience. We understand you are disappointed, and we sincerely apologise that this has been such a negative experience for you.

We absolutely want to help our customers, and the fact that we responded to your email query within two minutes shows our commitment to fast service.

However, after checking our records and confirming there were no known issues with our contact system, we unfortunately did not receive your initial contact regarding the address error. The email we did receive was sent 18 days after your order was placed. At that point, the parcel had already been delivered to the address provided during checkout, meaning we were unfortunately unable to intercept the delivery or prevent the issue.

We regret that the situation was not resolved to your satisfaction, and we are sorry that you feel this has been the worst experience you've ever had with a seller.

Choose TSA or S2aS

been using absolute for many years. never had any issues and the kit has always been good.
Ordered a jacket, did the klarna split payments, everything was fine.
In the account, preferred address is set to my current address so surprisingly, they sent it to my previous address. Contacted their customer support, as useful and helpful as just pointless.
The reply is basically- tough.
this reply 'I have looked and I can now see the parcel has been delivered to the old address and has been taken in by the person at that address so we aren't able to retrieve it.'

I won't be using them again and as a skier and snowboarder for many years I won't be using them or recommending them again.

We're sorry to hear about your deeply frustrating experience after years of loyalty.

We understand the old address was used in error, and our web team confirmed this was not a system error on our end. We sincerely apologise that despite the efforts to assist you, the situation still caused you significant upset and that you felt the response was dismissive. We are glad you retrieved your package, and we regret that this situation has led to the loss of a valued, long-term customer.

Dirty sock in the box...

Just received some new Mammut boots I ordered in the sale and there was a disgusting, dirty sock in the box with them. The boots are covered in scuff marks and the tags weren't even attached. I felt sick when I saw the sock. Absolute Snow have good reviews so I'm really confused what happened here?
Thanks for the reply Absolute Snow but your team haven't really worked out the issue or been helpful at all.

Receiving a dirty sock and scuffed boots is nowhere near the epic standard we aim for. We are so sorry this made you feel sick.

Superb customer service

I made a purchase with absolute-snow and unfortunately the item I received had something missing. The customer service I received regarding this issue was excellent. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Obviously mistakes can happen but I feel very satisfied with the way absolute-snow resolved this issue for me. I'll definitely continue shopping with them knowing they will strive to put things right if accidents happen.
