Great staff and stock

Rang store to check stock availability of a specific item which Becky kindly put aside for me. On arrival spoke to Vicky who presented me my items and assisted with other purchases from the store. Both staff members provided excellent customer service. Great store

Great store. Vicky was superb!

I called in for assistance in buying some new walking footwear. Vicky helped me select the right footwear and gave me some great expert advice to help me make my decision. Vicky was very patient (I had a 2 year old exploring the store too!) and gave me all the time she had. Really was 5* Customer Service.

Absolutely delighted with our last experience at Blacks Aintree. We were looking for some trekking equipment and Vicky was brilliant, not only by bringing us the requested items, but she was also very knowledgeable and the advice she gave us were very pertinent and genuine. The store itself has an enhanced variety of items with high quality and fair prices. This is the best combo for us to come back to this store: best products and best service.

Popped in to look at options for a new jacket. Didn't really know where to start but Luis appeared and was so helpful. He listened to what I wanted and came up with suitable options. Knew all the details about all the jackets and it became a very easy and quick decision.

100% service from start to finish!

I went in to buy some socks and realised there was a sale on most clothing. I ended up looking at the walking boots and trainers. Vicky asked if I needed any help. To say she went out of her way is an understatement. I asked lots of advice and she was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and honest with the advice she gave me.

I was debating the price of a pair of Merrell Trainers and Vicky said that if I can find them cheaper else where, then they would price match and knock 10% off. I was sold instantly.

I’ve always shopped in Blacks as the staff are great but today sealed the deal for me!

Thank you so much!

Great service and value

Great service from start to finish. Found a bargain, but couldn't get there straight away, so phoned and they held onto it for a few hours. Vicki was very helpful, carrying the item to the car. Click and collect would be useful.

Outstanding assistance

I called prior to attending the store and in both occasions was provided with fantastic customer service by Grace, bith herself and her shift lead Callum was more than helpful and could do anymore for me thanks guys. Both Grace and Callum redeemed the companies faith after the rubbish experience of shopping in the Ambleside store 2 days before
