Don’t bother, shipping time is shocking

Ordered shorts on 1.6.24, still waiting.

Edit….

Words fail you ? I was told they were going to be 8 days, 15 days ago. I then received an email telling me they were going to be with your Lincolnshire dept on the 12th and that I would have them on the 13th but now you’re telling me they were not posted until the 14th ?
Trust Pilot isn’t just for positive reviews, it’s for potential customers to gauge the company and other peoples experience. You told me you’ve never had an issue with any other customer ( internet reviews say otherwise ) which should mean you have nothing to worry about and my review will simply be ignored but I’ve had my say.

I mean, words fail me! They were posted on Friday, you had an auto email confirmation stating they have been posted by DPD, together with the tracking, but you still feel you can't be bothered to pick the phone up and call our customer support! Instead, you feel like going on Trustpilot and posting ANOTHER negative review.
Thanks Scott!

Thanks for your reply Scott. All we can do is apologise, but again, a simply telephone call could ease your concerns and we could have apologised for the delay. You're one demanding customer, that's for sure. We're crossing everything they fit! Thanks again for taking the time to review....again..

Great customer service.

I got a gift voucher for my birthday for this store. Sadly I can't find a pair suitable for my needs and the jacket I wanted was not in my size. I called up and explained my situation and they have kindly refunded the payment. No issues. Great customer service and I will be back for other bits in the future.

Waste of time

They took payment and didn't dispatch the item. They also don't respond to emails. Please avoid and buy from elsewhere

All our emails are up to date, so your email obviously hasn't got through to us. Have you called us? Sometimes before jumping the gun you can pick up the telephone and try and call us, we are here to help. We'll try and find your email and see if we can help you.

We have found your order and we emailed you on the 19t/12/23, the day you ordered to say we are waiting for the item to arrive. It is actually arriving today. You ordered it before Christmas, so it was delayed as we were closed until the 04/01/24. We will email you now.

Excellent Customer service via phone in spite of some reviews

I ordered a Trangia camping stove set but the wrong model was sent. Having read some of the negative reviews about SimplyHike and comments about not responding to emails I thought I had made a terrible mistake ordering with them. However a quick phone call to customer service and Tony confirmed the correct model was in stock and that it would be sent out immediately with a prepaid return label for the wrong product to be returned.
As promised the (correct) replacement did indeed arrive the following morning with the return label.
Although it would have been better to get it right first time, I cant fault Simply Hike for resolving the matter within 24 hours. I dont often write reviews (and there's more motivation to write a complaint than a commendation), but in this case I felt it was important to highlight my positive experience, and I would use them again. Maybe the key with SimplyHike is to phone rather than email if there's an issue.

Missing order

I ordered from Simply Hike on 10th November and have not received my order. I emailed their customer service email address on 24th November and asked them to cancel my order and issue me with a refund for the 83.95 I paid to them but have heard absolutely nothing back. Maureen Hadlow

Morning. As requested on the 24th, this was refunded for you on the 29/11. Apologies for the delay, but it is a busy time of year and we are extremely busy getting orders out. As for your item, it arrived in our warehouse on the 29/11, but as you'd already cancelled the order, we haven't fulfilled this order. Apologies for your discomfort on this order with us.

Refunded and complaint resolved after a poor review

Ordered croc sandals for my summer holiday. Didn’t arrive in time. Returned them for a refund. Have not received a refund and no reply when I contacted them via website. I’m £60 out of pocket and not impressed. Terrible service and zero customer care. It’s been a few months now so have given up hearing from them but just want to warn others of my poor experience with Simply Hike.
UPDATE - I was contacted by Simply Hike immediately after this review was posted and I now have a full refund. It’s a shame it took a bad review for contact but to be fair it’s now been fully resolved. So thank you.

Can I please ask if you've called our customer service at all? We can't find your order, so please contact us and we'll happily refund you, but without contact, we are unable to do anything. Please email us today on hello@simplyhike.co.uk and we'll get you sorted.

Scam or imitation scam?

Ordered a hat online, no acknowledgement of order, no update on delivery and surprise, surprise, the item hasn't arrived. Oh and of course, they don't respond to customer service emails - if it's not a scam it's a good imitation

David, certainly NOT a scam, or imitation scam!

we've just seen your review, which is a little harsh. Did you call our customer services before leaving the review?

We emailed on 01/09 to state the order was on it's way from our German Warehouse, and it would be delivered on 10/09/23, but maybe this email didn't get through to you, apologies for this. We have found your email to our customer services in our junk folder, apologies for this also.

Can I state the order was placed just 4 days ago, yet you're already leaving a 1 star review, that's tremendously harsh and gives us little confidence in the state of online shopping.

We've concluded that you're not able to wait for delivery, so we have refund the order this morning back on to your card. Ordinarily, a phone call may have resulted in a 10% refund as an apology for the delay, but I think we're past that now.

Apologies again we we're unable to service your standards.

Wrong item sent, no refund received & ignored by customer service

I ordered a bag for a weekend break, carefully ordering a medium sized bag due to the capacity of items I wanted to take with me. It arrived on time however the bag was the smaller size instead of the medium sized bag I specifically ordered. I was promised a refund of the difference in pricing between small/ medium on July 26th and 1 month later I am yet to receive anything despite sending multiple follow up emails. If I wanted to the small version I would have bought it from another retailer at a cheaper price however I came to Simply Hike as I wanted the medium bag and it was sold out everywhere despite Simply Hike charging £20+ more for the bag.

As we agreed, the refund for the difference was applied. Apologies we we're on Summer Recess where we give our team two weeks off in the summer holidays to enjoy with their family. This was the time you emailed, so apologies for this delay. All is sorted now though. Thanks again.

Undelivered Item

I placed an order for some croc sandals which were already over-priced in comparison to other sites as it is by £20+ on the 9th of July. It has been over 2 weeks now and I am yet to have received these which is highly frustrating as I needed them for a city break I am going on this week. I have emailed the customer care address and not had any acknowledgment or a single reply back to try and help or resolve this solution. Very disappointing, do not recommend and will not be buying from this brand again!

We have just found your email in our spam folder and replied that they are leaving today for you. They were coming from our German Warehouse, as we explained on email to you. We stock several items both here in the UK and in Germany, so we have multi warehouses. As explained in the email this morning, they are arriving with us today and then we'll DPD them out to you. Apologies if this was longer than expected.

I needed to get a backpack quickly

I needed to get a backpack quickly. I just missed their deadline for next day delivery so I rang them up instead and they said to leave the order as standard delivery and they would make sure it went on next day, which they did. The backpack arrived today before lunchtime and I could not be happier with it and the service.

Dont honour their discount code

Bought a roof top tent and used the 10% discount code a few days ago. The same day I was refunded and told it wasn’t in stock any longer and they would inform me when it was back in stock. The roof tent appeared straight back online and is still available now. I emailed them the following week and suddenly the price has gone up by £300 and they have 5 in stock and they won’t honour my original purchase… not great

Loving this coat so far

Loving this coat so far. Not too heavy but still seems like it will be just right for the colder months ahead. Love the styling. Great purchase and it was a bonus that it was on sale.

Ordered a hat

Ordered a hat, unfortunately ordered the wrong size. Returned for exchange however size required was out of stock so a refund was issued promptly and hassle free. Will definitely be shopping with them again soon.
Great customer service, a credit to the company.

I have been Robbed by Simply Hike.

I have been Robbed by Simply Hike.
I ordered a coat off them 2 fridays ago for £120, I waited the full 6 days for it to arrive and on the last day they tell me they haven’t got my coat, I recently ripped my coat and haven’t had one, so this whole week I’ve been cold, because of simply hike. They said I will receive a refund, they said that the refund would be in my bank within 48 hours, About 3 and a half days later it’s still not in my bank and they haven’t replied to me in 3 days. Because I haven’t got this money I can’t buy a new coat anyway meaning an extra few days without a new coat. As far as I’m concerned I’ve been Robbed by Simply Hike and I will not buy off them again and continue to tell people about this experience until I feel They’ve made it up to me, it’s not just the money at this point I just want to be able to go outside without being cold. Awful experience.

Sorry but this review is factually incomplete. We contacted you to explain that we have moved warehouse from Faversham to Reading and as a result there would be a short delay in sending the item. A voicemail was left to that effect and when the move was complete and we could not locate the coat we advised you very promptly and refunded you the very same day. As advised at the time the refund is then processed by your/our bank and can take up to 2 working days to be in your account. As the refund was processed on a Friday ( 9/10/20) and banks do not operate on the weekend, then this means the refund will likely appear Monday or Tuesday. We aim to provide excellent customer service and despite the upheaval of the move (during Covid too) we managed to fulfill over 97% of orders within 2 days. Regrettably a very few items cannot be located (as often happens with a move, business or personal!) and yours was one of them. Kind regards Simply Hike.

False marketing

UPDATE after Reply:

The offer was still on the site after more than 12 hours since I ordered. Let's say it was a system error. But you had plenty of time to notice me and start the refund procedures. The refund was made( at least I hope) by phone after I called to check the order, 30 minutes before your closing time. I lost time, got my money blocked and lost the opportunity to order from another place to have it on the time that I needed it. No excuses, VERY BAD EXPERIENCE.

False marketing. I ordered a jacket from the site, order HI48642, for a Saturday delivery. On the site it said that the jacket is in stock. Friday at 4:30 I called them because I haven't received any mail to find out that the jacket is not on stock and I will receive a refund. Apparently refund takes 48 hours, even tough they took the money in seconds, so at the moment I have No Jacket and No Money! FALSE ADVERTISING!

We are very sorry for the mistake with the customer's order. Unfortunately, we had a rare stock level error that was discovered when picking the order for dispatch which meant that the stock was no longer available. The order was then fully and immediately refunded from our account. As is standard procedure, the payment can take up to 48 hours for the customer's bank to process the transaction and credit this amount to their account.

Fantastic Service

I googled for a Montane Isotope Hoodie. This site offered the cheapest option, with a great shipping rate to Ireland. I must say, that I am very impressed with the service. Hoodie arrived in a few days, just in time to wear in the stand watching Munster beat Sarries. It is a great hoodie and when worn with a base and a jacket- it is very warm. I highly recommend this site. I will buy from them again.
