Completely fraudulent experience
Completely fraudulent experience. Ordered 2 bike saddles. Paid by card and then asked how long to deliver and was advised 3 to 10 days to process and then a further 5 days to deliver. This is a company based in Austria not UK! Asked them to cancel the order and told not possible and need to return the goods for refund. How many people are going to return goods to Austria where no doubt they will deny receipt. Please go elsewhere! The company address is a residential house and certainly no warehouse in sight! Great website but you are being conned by smooth marketing hype. Avoid at all costs.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the delivery timeframe and our cancellation policy.
We would like to clarify that once an order has entered processing, it can unfortunately no longer be cancelled. This information is communicated during the ordering process, and in such cases customers may return the items after delivery if they no longer wish to keep them.
We would also like to assure you that we do operate with an official returns warehouse and process returned parcels that arrive at the designated return address. Returns are handled according to our return procedures and warehouse records.
We understand that the longer processing and delivery times were frustrating, and we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
Kind regards,

Scam internet companyj
I ordered a gilet for my husband last December but it was too small. Returned on 22.12.25 to warehouse address provided. This was "refused delivery" according to Austrian post and eventually was returned to me on 18th May 2026. I was again informed by email I could not have a replacement until the original was returned. On 19th May I rewrapped the gilet and posted back to address I was given. I have now been told by Austrian Post that this was refused delivery and again was being returned to me. I paid £72 for the gilet, £31.90 on two tracked deliveries and £32 on phone calls to Austrian Post. This is a scam company and obviously there is no warehouse address. I will report to Report Fraud and to Trading Standards. This company should be shut down. Austrian post left a note regarding alternative arrangements for delivery but did not receive a reply.

Hello Helen,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your frustration and would like to clarify an important point regarding returns from the UK.
For returns from non-EU countries such as the UK, all shipping costs as well as any applicable customs duties or import fees must be fully paid by the sender before the parcel is shipped. Unfortunately, our warehouse is unable to accept parcels where customs charges remain outstanding or where the recipient is asked to pay fees upon arrival.
If customs or import charges have not been prepaid, the carrier will automatically decline the parcel and mark it as **RTS (Return to Sender)**. This is a standard customs procedure and not an active refusal by our warehouse team.
The returns address itself is correct and fully operational. We receive and process many return parcels successfully when all shipping and customs requirements are completed correctly in advance.
We are sorry that this information may not have been clear and that the situation has caused you additional costs and inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Christina

I ordered a massager in April but when it came it can only be used when attached to the short charging cable which is useless if you want to lay on the floor to message your back!
Emailed the company to say I wanted to return the item but they tried to give me a bigger discount not to return the item. Eventually they agree item could be returned back to an address in Austria which I did at my own expense. I have now been notified that no one was at the address to receive the item. So nearly 2 months later I'm still waiting for my refund. Not sure I'll see that money again. Would definately NOT recommend this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the massager and with the return process that followed.
We understand how frustrating it must be to have returned the item at your own expense and then be informed that the parcel could not be delivered. Unfortunately, we can only process refunds once a returned item has been successfully received and registered at our official returns warehouse.
We also regret that the return process and communication did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, you can email us again so we can recheck your concern.

Looks like I’ve fallen victim to this company , like all the reviews on here , that I wish I had read first 🤦♀️ I am now £80 out of pocket , and stuck with a heated Gillet , which is far too small . I also tried to cancel the order before it was dispatched, but was told by an automated e mail that I couldn’t , but would be sent the returns instructions when I received the item , but now they are offering me a 30% refund or I have to return it myself, WARNING to anyone thinking of ordering from this company ! And please don’t reply outdoorheld with your AI 🐂💩 thank you

Hello Sian,
thank you for sharing your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your experience and that the heated gilet did not fit as expected.
Regarding cancellations, orders can sometimes already be in the final stages of processing before a shipping confirmation is issued, which unfortunately means they cannot always be stopped in time. In such cases, we offer customers the option to return the item after delivery.
We also understand that return shipping costs can be frustrating. For this reason, alternative solutions such as partial refund offers may be presented, but these are entirely optional and customers remain free to proceed with a return if they prefer.
We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

Avoid this company like the plague…
On 17 May I ordered a bicycle saddle costing £44.95 from this company. The next day, I realised that I had ordered in error and email asking to cancel. I got a reply
saying it wasxtoo late to do so because the item had already been dispatched - even though it took 10 days to arrive and was dispatched from an address near London, where I live - and that I should contact them about returns once it arrived. When I did so, I was amazed to receive a reply saying that “as a gesture of goodwill” they would refund 30% of the purchase price - provided I returned the saddle at my own cost. Nowhere in Outdoorheld’s terms and conditions is anything there
anything stating that they do not give full refunds. Indeed their website advertises promInently that they guarantee 100% refunds for shoes, with no mention of there being any exceptions for other products.
I have never encountered any other company, even ones based in China that behaves so deceitfully and dishonestly and mistreats customers like this.
I have told Outdoorheld that unless they guaranteed a full refund immediately, I would instruct my card company to place the payment in dispute. I have received no reply so will now follow that course of action.
To crown it all, the saddle arrived with a bizarre fixture that does not fit any standard bicycle seatpost and is for sale on Amazon for. £5 less and covered by Amazon’s guaranteed returns policy.

Hello,
thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with both the cancellation process and your overall experience with the order.
Regarding the cancellation request, orders can sometimes already be in the final stages of processing before a shipping confirmation is sent, which unfortunately can make it impossible for us to stop the shipment. In such cases, we offer the option to return the item after delivery.
We would also like to clarify that while we offer returns within the applicable return period, return shipping costs are currently the responsibility of the customer. We understand that this may not align with your expectations and regret the frustration this has caused.
We are equally sorry to hear that the saddle and included mounting hardware did not meet your needs.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We take comments like yours seriously and use them to improve our communication and customer experience.

Premium Website Budget Gloves Frustrating Service
OutdoorHeld looked like a premium outdoor brand online. In reality, the gloves I received felt like generic low-cost imports with a large markup. If I had seen them in a physical shop, there is absolutely no chance I would have paid £25 for them.
The bigger issue was customer service. After long dispatch delays, I cancelled the order before shipment and explicitly requested a refund multiple times. Support acknowledged the cancellation, yet continued “prioritising shipment” instead of processing the refund. Every response felt like a template designed to wear the customer down rather than actually resolve the issue.
In the end, the gloves arrived and I kept them simply because the return process looked deliberately inconvenient. The product is mediocre, the branding is misleading, and the customer service experience was exhausting. I would not order from them again

Hello Portoz,
thank you for taking the time to share your experience so openly.
We are very sorry to hear that both the product and the overall service experience left you feeling disappointed and frustrated. We completely understand how upsetting it is when expectations based on the website and communication are not met in the way you had hoped.
Regarding the cancellation, there are situations where orders may already be in advanced processing stages within the fulfillment system, which can unfortunately make an immediate stop or cancellation technically impossible even before a shipping confirmation is sent. However, we are sorry that the communication around this made you feel unheard or worn down rather than properly supported.
We also regret that the return process appeared inconvenient to you, as this was clearly not the experience we wanted you to have.
Your feedback is taken seriously and helps us continue improving our communication, processes, and overall customer experience.

Refund Avoidance & Refused Return Delivery
If I could give zero stars I would!
I purchased an EMS foot mat from this company & the item received was not as described on their website. The quality was extremely poor compared to the advertised photos, the packaging arrived damaged, & the device itself worked intermittently.
After multiple emails & having to repeatedly explain the issues, I was eventually told to return the item to Austria at my own expense, costing me an additional £13 in tracked postage.
Royal Mail tracking confirms the parcel cleared customs, reached the delivery office, & when they tried to make delivery it was refused by the recipient, marked “Refused – Returned to Sender”. Despite this, the company has tried to claim it was a customs problem etc & continued avoiding responsibility & I am now having to escalate the matter through my bank.
Extremely disappointing & frustrating experience from start to finish. I would advise others to read reviews carefully & avoid buying from this company.

Absolutely shocking company
Absolutely shocking company. Delivery times are ridiculously long and when you contact them all their responses are AI rubbish. Can't get an answer as to when the item was to be shipped so wanted to cancel the order. But apparently you can't cancel the order even though it's not been dispatched. Clearly a scam as even their responses to bad reviews are AI generated. Don't waste your money or time on this company.

As our warehouse occasionally experiences high demand, some orders may already enter the processing stages shortly after being placed. In these situations, a cancellation or shipment stop is unfortunately not always technically possible anymore, even if the shipping confirmation has not yet been sent.
We also regret that our communication did not provide the clarity and reassurance you expected throughout the process. Feedback like yours is taken seriously and helps us improve both our customer support and overall experience.

DO NOT USE THIS BRAND
Writing this review on my mother’s behalf as now I had to get involved with this unprofessional company.
We purchased an item which we were unhappy with, after days of denying the refund and finding any way possible to convince us to keep the item they have finally sent us the return address. After spending £15 for international shipping we have just received the parcel back marked as “refused”. Now they’re trying to tell us it was a lazy postman who never attempted the delivery. Absolutely ridiculous and totally unacceptable. No managerial involvement, no one person to talk to. The communication is appalling. For your own peace of mind, don’t give your money to these people.

Poor quality
I ordered a year ago and whilst the delivery time was longer than expected I was quite happy when the saddles arrived. However today the saddle developed a hole within which there is a sharp spike which could cause a nasty injury. Needless to say the response to my email was that we are out of the 30 day return/replacement period! Would not use again

SCAM Terrible do not touch with a barge pole
Last update. I won’t be writing to them again, please ignore what they respond on here with as it’s not true.
No confirmation of order. No status of payment information. No returns information (until you ‘receive the goods’), cannot cancel an order at any stage in the process. No goods forthcoming, despite order placed on 9th April. Raised a dispute with the bank who have confirmed it’s a scam and refunded me.
Further an email I received this morning, (29th April) 3 WEEKS AFTER ORDER AND PAYMENT TAKEN, informing me that my order ‘is now on its way’, this totally contradicts your repeated claims that the order couldn’t be stopped.
Further to the response. NO TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN DESPATCHED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME AS RO WHERE IT IS IN THE PROCESS. But I can’t get a refund until I receive it, and NO ONE KNOWS WHEN I WILL RECEIVE IF AT ALL
Terrible, terrible company. Has scam written all over it.
No confirmation of order, no confirmation of despatch, no updates of transit. Won’t give return information until I receive the goods (payment was taken on 9th April 2026). I likely will never receive the goods but I’ve got to wait until I do for return information

Waited weeks for delivery after numerous email chasers. Size guide an absolute joke. Ordered womens medium. Unable to do up zip by 5 inches. Returned to Austrian warehouse address given. Austrian postal service tried to deliver - PARCEL REFUSED. Parcel arrived back with me in UK today. OutdoorHeld not honouring return agreement siting duties/taxes due. Notice this response given to negative feedback. No such Austrian Customs label attached stating duties/taxes required. Now out of pocket goods and tracked postage. Reading other reviews not prepared to return to Austria to have parcel refused again. The whole experience absolutely shambolic. Lesson learned. I would have given 0 zero had it been possible.

Inability to change product because of faulty size
I ordered a battery heated jacket based on the website sizes, and when it arrived it was significantly smaller than what was advertised. When I tried to return the item to be changed for a much larger size, I discovered that it had to go back to Austria. Because a battery was included, there were problems over sending it in the first place, but at last I did manage to send it, only to have the jacket returned to me by Austrian Customs because of the battery! The company have only given me 15% compensation, when the fault in size was entirely its fault, and inability to return the item for exchange is their fault also. £80 entirely wasted. Avoid this Company/product. Their response is no good at all- we were told by them to return the whole jacket, which included the battery. They should have said do not include the battery. It was entirely their fault that the website sizes were way out, necessitating return in the first place, so we should be fully compensated .

OutdoorheldUK is NOT in the UK!!
Ordered a couple of heated vests (product is good) wrong sizes delivered. Outdoorhelduk told me they were the right sizes but wrong labels!!! I therefore could not return them. I quoted UK law and they offered me a 10%refund which i refused as they were too big and didnt fit. After wasting hours back and forth on email they told me I could return via Evri. Cost me £24 but better than losing full £140. Then discovered they were actually not in UK but in Austria! I tracked parcel which was supposed to have been delivered but outdoor refused to refund they said parcel was still in customs.
My credit card company Tesco then took over with a chargeback.
OutdoorheldUK we're very unhelpful throughout I ordered first week of January received goods mid Feb tesco credit card took over mid March.

Returned product, no refund , no communication
Order - UK7643
Item purchased in November 2025 ( heated Gillett) as a Christmas present.
Returned for a full refund exactly as per the instructions.
However Royal Mail intercepted the parcel because lithium batteries are not permitted to be sent by Royal Mail back to Austria.
I am out of pocket for the item and £18pp.
My emails have been ignored after the initial correspondence that assured me they would deal with it.
Poor review from me, would not recommend, be careful before you purchase from this company.
