Was looking at couple of coats and was assisted by Emily who was both knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. Very good customer service. Service at the till was also excellent.

We came to your store yesterday and was greeted by Kayla very bubbly and outgoing and super helpful! We needed a gazebo taken down for us to buy sold as seen thats when Jack and Kev came in and helped Kayla take it down and put back in its packaging, which we appreciated so much as well as being so relieved 😅 Over all experience was lovely and will definitely be back again.

Old favourite store still wins.

The shop is clean, tidy, stock well-organised and we could find exactly what we wanted.
The slight criticism is the changing cubicles are basic at best. There wasn't anywhere to put clothes I was taking off other than the floor. A chair would help. There was no peg for my coat. There was however a rail for the 'try-on' goods.
Ruth at the till was very friendly, helpful and efficient.
The car park looks like it needs some serious attention, as there are numerous yellow plates covering pot-holes! All in all, an enjoyable and fruitful visit, and it would have been five stars but for the changing room.

Beware of cheap deals!!

Went to go outdoors and had a look at the assembled tents outside. They had several that were greatly reduced as they were ex display models. I purchased a hi gear Hampton 600 nightfall. It was made clear to me that the tent was sold as seen and could not be returned under any circumstances. I checked the tent as best as I could, after all it was assembled, and all seemed well. I could not take the tent home straight away as it had been raining and I was told that after a dry period and the tent was fully dried out, I would receive a phone call to collect it. This happened after a few days and the tent was ‘roughly’ packed in to the bag it came with. It hadn’t been packed with any due care and attention , but at least it was in the bag. My partner collected it and she didn’t know to check anything and she took it to her house to store it for a couple of weeks until we needed to use it. This weekend, Friday the 22nd may, we collected the tent and went camping. First thing I noticed was the bag was ripped. Never mind. It should have been £550 and we bought it for £210. Bargain, so far. Tried to assemble it, used a you tube video and it mentioned inserting the colour coded poles into the colour coded sleeves. There was no colour coding on the poles. I had to lay them out side by side and try and work out which pole went where!! Then I noticed some hi vis tape on one of the poles and I tried this pole in a sleeve that had gold piping and it seemed to work, I then guessed the rest. I noticed on one of the poles that there was severe perishing on the ends of several sections, and the fiberglass was all splintered. I check the pole with the tape on and it seemed that the tape was running repair by go outdoors. There was no way I could have checked these poles whilst it was assembled, but nonetheless, I repaired them with duct tape and still felt like I had got a bargain. When I erected the tent, the inside was full of dirt, grass, etc and had not even been swept out for me. For some reason, I googled the tent and the go outdoors website . I was shocked and appalled to see the same sent up for general sale at £550 and for members it was £114.97!!! I’d paid £209!! They new I was a member and yet they allowed me to purchase a damaged, second hand tent for nearly £100 more than a new one!
I called customer services today, as I did not want to deal with the store; mainly because they had driven home the point that I could not return the tent under any circumstances. Customer services asked me to email a screenshot of the ad showing the price at £114 which I did. They told me my complaint had been logged but that I would have to contact the store with my issue. I just could not be bothered. With the knowledge that they’d told me I couldn’t return it I just could not be bothered driving miles out of my way to be told that I bought it knowing I could not return it. What a shambles. You live and learn!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

I am really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how disappointing and frustrating this must have been.

While I understand the tent was sold as an ex-display item and on a “sold as seen” basis, it’s clear from your comments that the overall condition and preparation of the item fell below what you would reasonably expect. In particular, the issues you’ve raised with the poles, the condition of the bag, and the cleanliness of the tent are concerning, and I’m sorry this was your experience.

I’m also sorry to hear about the confusion regarding pricing. I completely understand how upsetting it must have been to later see the same tent advertised at a significantly lower price for members, especially after purchasing a display model in the condition you’ve described. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and your feedback has been noted.

I have reached out to you via the email address you have provided to request information for this to be looked into further.

Kind regards

Excellent customer support

A member of staff (Emily)helped me to choose a waterproof coat. She had excellent product knowledge and helped me compare garments from the different ranges taking into account fit, quality, cost and functionality and well as aesthetics. I'm looking forward to using it on future holidays.
