If only zero stars was an option. Absolutely junk furniture that arrived broken. Barely even up to the low standards of the cheapest Argos furniture from 20 years ago. Weeks to get a first response fr... See more

Written by the company

In the past, most retailers would place consumers in imaginary boxes based on their gender, postcode, age, what newspaper they read and even ethnicity. This was before the internet gave the power of research and information to everyone. The internet allowed people to explore and liberate themselves into trying something new. It made it harder for companies to pressure consumers into buying something that "wasn't quite right" or not exactly what they wanted. Our goal is to give people the chance to explore what furniture makes them feel good in their home and to perhaps give buying online a try for the first time. If you are someone who appreciates having the time, space and advice to explore possibilities of what you might buy, then maybe Out & Out Original is for you. If you've ever been that person who's checked the internet to learn more about a product or even price check whilst in a store, then Out & Out Original is definitely for you! We know at times it feels safer to buy from the known establishment or even to get sucked in to buying something not quite right, but before you do that, try to remember the last time you explored and tried something new and how liberating it felt. If you think it could be fun to do that again, give us a chance.

Poor quality goods, poor delivery

Table and chairs were delivered 2 weeks apart and took 3 attempts to get customer service.

Cabinet drawers don't slide properly because the rails are cheap, instructions are poor, delivery refused to bring up stairs.

Zero Stars

Zero stars - the order never arrived! And I think they have been closed down. Of course they took two Klarna payments though!

Are you having a laugh

Are you having a laugh. Continual postponement of delivery until finally we discover that you have ceased trading without a refund. So in answer to your question "How did we do" .... **$$/@$$%**

I never received my order

I never received my order at all. I received an email 'thank you for your recent order' on 15th October. I ordered in July and heard nothing from them.

Shocking, terrible, there are really no words

Ordered a garden furniture set a day before they went bust, managed to get a
chargeback refund via NatWest luckily, however I’ve also received an email today from Castle Hill Insolvency saying that they ‘have disengaged from assisting with the voluntary liquidation process’ - thought this would be useful info to share in case anyone else wasn’t aware of this yet. Out and Out are a shocking company, with terribly immoral owners taking money from people with no intent to supply….

Disgusting

Disgusting, they took my money even though a few days later they went under, appalling customer service, however the owner currently is an active director of other companies in the same industry, and now castle hill have not taken over the insolvency!!! I smell a rat!

Unfortunately I have lost nearly £1k…

Unfortunately I have lost nearly £1k with this company going bust. I did purchase through Klarna - still waiting on a resolution though. Has anyone else managed to get their money back through this finance company?

Paypal refunded me

Sadly took my order despite knowing they were going bust. They even did a flash 30% off sale just a day or so before to get more orders in, in my opinion. Happily I paid through Paypal and was refunded in full for items not received under their buyer protection programme. It was a simple and pain free process and resolved very quickly - 2 weeks start to finish. Disappointing end to my dealings with this Company.

Company now insolvent

Company now insolvent. if you can - contact your bank/ credit card company. you only have 120 days from date of order to claim chargeback on a debit card. i managed to do this a couple of weeks ago after ordering furniture back in may. should have done more research!

Pre-order Marbella Garden Set

I ordered my Marbella garden set on 10th May, when I chased up In July, I was told my furniture was in their warehouse, and would be delivered by 17th August, still nothing by 30th August, when I got the reply saying they were no longer trading, and gave an e-mail to contact Castle Hill Insolvency, which promptly bounced back, so I would give zero stars to both companies, doubt I will see my money again!!
