Excellent customer service by staff member "Tia"

Purchased a Peter Storm packaway lightweight waterproof jacket with effectively a 50% G-O-card discount. I cannot praise highly enough the helpful, professional and pleasant service given by "Tia", who offered advice on sizing and alternative options whilst dealing with several customers, as she seemed to be the only (downstairs) member of staff on duty. This sort of intelligent, caring and flexible customer service is something I've not seen in a retail store for a long time, so thank you!

[Added on 18/07/2025] The Peter Storm lightweight waterproof jacket has performed excellently, keeping me dry in some torrential downpours whilst out dog-walking. It's 100% more effective than a previous similar item (not from G-O), whose inner seams disintegrated within an hour of their first exposure to heavy rain. Great value for money, thanks.

Carabiners

Helpful staff shame about the carabiners you sell which are a complete waste of money. The one I bought lasted less than 5 minutes no stronger than a paper clip!

Great Express Store

Fantastic Customer Service, good selection of clothing and accessories, including sale items, for a relatively small store.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff (Harry, John and Garry) and my husband and I purchased an item today, both were an exceptional price for the quality of the items.

Disgusting Customer Service

We went to the store this afternoon at 5pm and my kids wanted a fleece. I went upstairs and chose a boot that I wanted to try on and went down to ask a member of staff for assistance. The young male and female staff were near the till and chatting. I asked for assistance and the male staff rolled his eyes as though it was too much trouble for him. He said that he doesn’t deal with shoes after 5pm….they close at 5:30. I told him that his service was disgusting. A young kid with disgusting customer service shouldn’t be left with the responsibility of a store. The owner or manager of this store needs to sort this, “I can’t be bothered attitude” He had 20 minutes to provide a shoe that cost £91 but he couldn’t be bothered to assist me!

It was busy upstairs with a couple of customers trying on walking shoes however I was dealt with quickly.

I knew the Merrell Moab shoes I wanted and the member of staff found me the right size so all was dealt with swiftly.

At the till my membership was renewed and I got a 10% discount by using my Camping and Motorhome membership.

Great, easy shopping experience.
