GO Outdoors - Southampton Reviews 

Paul F was SUPER helpful helping me choose a backpack this morning - I walked out with an Osprey Rook feeling sure it was the right one. Great chat!

Brilliant service from Paul S.
Had the battery ready and waiting for fast turn around.

We were looking to purchase a new camping fridge in your Southampton store and needed some help. A member of Go Outdoors staff called Paul F. was on hand to assist us . He was very helpful, had good knowledge of the products on offer and was extremely personable.
very satisfied with our experience - thankyou.

Danny was fantastic! I came in looking for a day bag for travelling and he was super helpful. We went through the specs I had, pros and cons of the options available; I’ve left a very happy customer!

Easy to find and buy online staff very helpful when I went to pick up the jockey wheel

Met with a very passionate and knowledgeable chap - Paul Fenton. Clearly loves his job and wants to do the very best for everyone offering great insights and good ideas for further research - thanks Paul 👍😎

Quick delivery and staff very helpufull, good quality for the price.

After visiting the Southampton store last week, we spent a long time discussing the purchase of a tent with a very enthusiastic member of staff. Because of this lengthy discussion, we were in the store for 2 hours and 37 minutes — longer than the parking time allowed.

We were parked in a disabled bay and clearly displayed our Blue Badge. Today, I received a parking fine from IPC for overstaying. I contacted the store and asked if they could arrange for the charge to be cancelled, as we had been genuine customers spending considerable time in-store discussing a potential purchase.

Unfortunately, they refused, stating that IPC is a private company and that they are unable to cancel the charge. I know this is untrue, as these parking companies are contracted by the stores and charges can be cancelled where appropriate.

Please be aware if parking at the Southampton store. Needless to say, we will be taking our business elsewhere.

New layout means click and collect is a separate part to the paying area .

We were helped by one of the kindest people i have ever met.
Paul F helped massively as he helped pick out a rucksack, sleeping bag and more speaking from previous experiences. We didn't know what we were doing until Paul came over and went through everything that we needed. He is amazing, thank you.

Paul F was so very helpful when we were buying some camping equipment. His advise and knowledge of the available products were second to none. I felt so much more confident making my purchases knowing I bought the right items for our first camping trip. Paul was great and I will always be grateful for his friendly help and support.

Visited our local Go outdoor today, looking for a smaller tent for the weekends.
Helped out by Paul.F lovely knowledgeable guy, knows his tents and is always a pleasure to chat with.

Paul F was very enthusiastic and helpful towards buying inners for my bag

We had a genuinely excellent experience at Go Outdoors Southampton thanks to Paul F. From the moment we approached him, he was polite, approachable, and clearly committed to helping in any way he could. His product knowledge was outstanding—he took the time to explain options thoroughly, answer all our questions, and ensure we felt confident in our choices.
What really stood out was his patience and understanding. He never made us feel rushed or pressured, even as we considered different products and asked for advice. His professionalism was evident throughout, and he handled everything with a calm, friendly manner that made the whole experience enjoyable.
It’s rare to come across customer service of this quality. Paul is a real asset to the team at Go Outdoors Southampton, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both the store and his assistance in particular. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Friendly, helpful staff. Brilliant store!

David. Very helpful and knowledgeable and great to deal with. Thank you for your time

Great service from Paul F. Really knowledgable and provided some great tips for DofE when buying a ruck sack and sleeping bag. Thanks Paul!

Paul F. Made our visit very much worth it - we’ve traveled to camp in the New Forest, unfortunately our first night we realised our self inflating air mattress seemed to be leaking, despite being a couple days out of warranty Paul absolutely saved our whole trip and went above and beyond to find a way validly exchange it for a new one! - Thank you Paul 🙏🏻
