Great Staff

I had placed an order online but it had been delivered wrong after not getting very far with the online help I went in store feeling a bit deflated to try and sort out the refund. I was served by Martin who was so helpful and made the return a breeze, he found the correct coat in-store and sorted out all the paperwork so I was able to leave with the original jacket I wanted. Absolutely wonderful member of staff.

Desperate for a replacement tent pole.

Had a problem with a tent pole my son broke whilst at Glastonbury. I spoke to Martin at Aintree to see if they had a replacement in stock. I took it in for him to have a look and he kindly repaired the broken tent pole. Way above the level of service expected. Highly recommended.

Great service and Sean couldn’t do enough for me. He was brilliant and very patient with a doddery old fart like me who can’t make his mind up.

Amazing customer service!

Needed new hiking boots so I went to Blacks…. Amazing.
I had help from Grace who clearly knew her stuff and helped me pick out my new boots. She listened to everything I said I needed and was really knowledgeable about their range and what would suit my needs.
Couldn’t recommend her more!!!
The boot I wanted wasn’t in stock in my size so Grace had it ordered for free delivery with a discount for my wait!
Such good customer service.

Very helpful and informative

The lady who helped me was very quick, knowledgeable, and helpful. I wish I had got her name to mention her personally. She saves me both time and money with her advice. I will be back soon as I need more help with some camping equipment. Thankyou to you helpful staff. I hope she gets some recognition.

Replacement tent pole dilemma

I came into the Aintree store needing a replacement tent pole as one of mine had snapped. The staff searched for some but couldn't find the right size but they found some spare loose pieces in the back of the store & cut them to size for me. They even reattached the elastic inside the pole to ensure it was complete.

As they were spare parts they did it for me free of charge & as I was due to go camping the next day it really helped me out.

I went to Blacks to get my daughter a pair of walking boots. All the staff are so friendly when you walk in, making me feel comfortable. We went upstairs to the shoe section, where we met Vicky. She was great, really helpful helping us select the right boot and running back and forth making sure we got the right size boot too. Excellent customer service.

Went into the shop in Aintree yesterday…

Went into the shop in Aintree yesterday to buy a waterproof jacket that they unfortunately didn't have in stock. Bought a Montane Hydron instead on a whim, and Grace said that if I changed my mind I could easily get a refund the following day.

After testing the jacket today and deciding it wasn't for me because it wasn't very breathable, I went back in the evening and Grace very kindly refunded my account even though I'd forgotten the receipt.

I decided on a Berghaus Maitland instead but that has yet to be tested.
