Unsatisfactory buying experience

Dear Sir/Madam,
I ordered a pair of Dunlop Blizzard Winter boots Part No. 15899728 on December 4th and after a lot of problems they were delivered by DHL to your local shop GO Outdoors, 1 East Street, Derby, as I no longer required them as I was forced to purchase the boots direct from GO Outdoors shop at 1 East Street, Derby, due to delivery delays.
I would like to know when I will receive my refund please?
Regards,
William

Looking for a fleece top for a 14 year old is hard, small mens or boys?
The staff in store were so helpful, even going to the store room to search for sizes. Found the perfect Berghaus top size 14/15 which with my discount card was a bargain . Thank you Dale for going that extra mile.

This Express store is also a UPS collection location. I had a parcel delivered here but UPS had made a mess of the labels and so it was very difficult for the staff to find the correct parcel. Yuri (sorry if spelt wrong!) was very friendly and helpful at the front desk and Lucy tried ever so hard and succeeded in finding it for me while keeping me well updated over the phone. 5 stars for the customer service I received from the GO Outdoors staff.

We just called in looking for a new pair of walking boots

We just called in looking for a new pair of leather walking boots, we received the same excellent service that we used to get when it was a Millets store, on this occasion we were served by Dale, very helpful – so we ended up with a pair of North Ridge boots each.
Thank you, James.

Amazing Customer Service

Never have I ever received customer service better than provided by Sam at the GoOutdoors store in Derby. Sam was welcoming, friendly, helpful, knowledgable and really went the extra mile to help me with all of my enquiries.

Called in about a complaint I had about a pair of walking shoes, I can’t praise the customer service I received highly enough. Daniel listened to my issues and resolved them immediately, it’s a pity that other shops don’t live up to the standards of “ Go outdoors “ Derby!
Fantastic, thanks a lot Daniel, and “Go outdoors “.

Excellent service

The items I was looking for were upstairs and I have a little difficulty using stairs. No staff were up there but I was surprised and received when a member of staff joined me, helped me select the daypack that was best for me, advised me on other matters and treated me with kindness and professionalism.

Draconian and unreasonable returns policy

Bought some gloves today from Go Outdoors in Derby city center. Normally I am a medium size, but they didn't have those, so I bought the large size instead. Once outside the shop I wore them for about 90 seconds to two minutes as I walked up the street, however, I realized my coat sleeves were pushing my gloves off my hands as they were too large. Not a problem I assumed, I can just take them back as I have only worn them for 90 seconds. So I took them off and put them in my bag and went to Marks and Spencer.
When I went back to Go Outdoors I was told I could not have a voucher to get a medium pair because I had 'worn them outdoors'. In addition, if I wanted a medium pair I could drive to Burton on Trent and purchase them myself.
I think this is an extremely unreasonable returns policy; those gloves have only been worn for 90 seconds! I realise I should have gone back immediately, but most shops have a sensible returns policy that I have got used to. (Although don't actually return much stuff normally.)
