Ordered a pair of walking boots

Ordered a pair of walking boots, online, I’m a full time carer for my Elderly Dad so can’t get out. My family arranged a surprise few days away in Lake District for me so I quickly ordered boots, they arrived just in time, tried one on fitted perfectly when I got to lakes realised that one boot was a size 7 the other size 8 so had to put an extra pair of socks on my right foot

Damaged delivery

The two of the items that I ordered arrived completely smashed up and in opened packaging where the delivery company then had to put items into additional bags to deliver. There is no one to speak to on the customer service line and everything is just an automated response which did not resolve anything and then in addition I have to pay to return the items.

wheres the stock gone :(

as always the overall pricing and range on the internet are excellent , the gent on the cycling and fishing area (chester) was really helpfull checking stock trying to find what i needed well done for him :) deserves a hug putting up with me, but the float levels on the shelf were a problem for me . Lots of empty shelves and keynotes from the advertised 'sale' not even available at the store. Maybe its just fishing gear its a bit of a niche area but left the store feeling a little disappointed

Enquiring about a pair of walking shoes…

Enquiring about a pair of walking shoes which was off sale in the store i visited. It was suggested I ordered on line but was unable to. I was told, a new system was not always linking some cards on line to accounts. I tried phoning customer service to sort but was advised of the 35 minute waiting time. I ended up having to re subscribe to a new card/account to order for collection at an alternative store. Customer service did not meet my needs on this occasion.

Joe was a very knowledgeable

Joe was a very knowledgeable, competent and experienced asset to the company. He guided me effortlessly to 1 of the best fitting and comfortable hiking boots ever. He took the time to understand my needs and presented a small selection from the vast display within my budget. He wanted to understand what I wanted to do, shared his own hiking experiences, then made other product recommendations. I have never been happier and trusting to but more stuff!!!!! Great service. Thanks

On line order

Did not receive an email to inform me that a £500 item ordered on line was available for collection in store.

Rang customer service to query when item would be delivered to store and informed that item had been available in store ready for collection for one week and that the store would return item if not collected within 2 weeks of its arrival in the store, we were away on holiday so a possibility of not being able to collect purchase within this timeframe.

Went into store to collect item, the assistant wrote the order number down on his hand, (not a professional way of doing things)and went looking for the order. Store assistant totally uninterested when asked about receipt for item.
Did not receive a receipt or a confirmation email that order had been collected.

In my opinion a totally unprofessional way of managing orders and the collection process

Nice friendly staff and helpful. Stock info poor

Nice friendly staff and helpful.
The issue I have and why I have given them 3 stars is stocking level of fishing equipment is low on the shelf and online stock check is not correct. Was meant to be 4 in stock online and found none in store. Even a member of staff advised me this was incorrect. Not great if you have to drive a distance to collect something you urgently need.
