I ordered wrong size because the sizes…

I ordered wrong size because the sizes inside the shoes didnt match the ones they stipulated on their site. I dont know if this happens to all of their brands. So I had to pay the return delivery costs for their mistake!! They said they gave me a free cost return label, but it wasnt the case. They charged me and afterall did not answer to any of my emails when I notified them about this fact. Nasty, Bergfreunde! Money count as much for us, the customers, as they count for you. Yeah, every penny. The little money can buy something too! The difference is, in this case, that you, in a nasty way, did not fix your mistake and stole money from me. Money I have worked for, ok?
And it would be nice to notify the customers after they purchase items you dont have on stock. Dont you find this logic? They must know how long they ll wait for the parcel.

Pending charge takes forever to return

Usually had good experiences with Bergfreunde, until a recent order. For my last order, the money was deducted from my account twice, even though the order had gone through only once. When I contacted Bergfreunde support, all they said was that a “pending charge” was left with my bank, “which will be removed soon.” Over a week later and the pending charge still hasn’t returned. Not the best experience when you’ve placed a large order.

Edit: Bergfreunde claims there is no second charge on my credit card, which is not true. As of the time of writing this, the second charge has been reverted, as it should be, however it took over a week to do so. If Bergfreunde wishes to investigate this issue further, they should check the conversations I had with their customer support team or contact me directly as I’m happy to provide screenshots.

Hello and thank you for your review.
As we checked on your payments, we could not find a second payment for the order.
When you pay with a creditcard there is first a reservation of the amount and after this the actual debit.
Please contact your credit card provider for a confirmation.
Thank you and best regards, Bergfreunde Team

long returns and bad support

Quick delivery made me happy bit was short-lived as I discovered that the article I received was defective. Naturally, I reached out to their customer support to address the issue. This is where my experience took a downturn.
While I understand that delays can happen, it was frustrating to find that their response time was quite slow. It took a considerable amount of time to receive instructions and sent back the defective item as per their guidelines.
I patiently waited for a resolution, but after four weeks, I was shocked to learn that they had no record of receiving the item. This lack of communication and record-keeping was disappointing and left me feeling frustrated.
As a result - no refund of 160 and no item,
Update
Took them long but finally they found it and paid back

Hello and thank you for your feedback!

We apologize for the frustration caused by the delayed response from our customer service. We understand the importance of timely assistance and we're currently undergoing internal system changes that have affected our response times. We acknowledge that not everything is as seamless as we would like to be at the moment.

We deeply regret the unusually long processing time for your inquiry, especially considering the defective item you received. We're actively working to streamline our processes and improve our response times.

Additionally, we understand your concern about the refund. Please note that returns from Switzerland often require longer processing times due to customs clearance procedures. Rest assured, as soon as we receive the returned item and complete the necessary processing, we will promptly initiate your refund.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to enhance our customer experience. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards, Bergfreunde.de

Easy

Ordering was an easy experience. The product arrived within the predicted time frame (Ireland, 7 days). The package was safe and secure. The correct product was provided, exactly as described and in perfect condition. This is my second purchase from Bergfreunde.de and I am a very satisfied customer.

100% "Climate Neutral"?? No Way!

I order 2 x elastic velcro straps, dimensions:
-> 30cm long x 2cm wide x 0.2cm high.

This arrived in a carton box, dimensions:
-> 40cm long! x 30cm wide! x 7cm high!

Not exactly, 100% "climate neutral"! Not very environmentally friendly or paper-waste conscious!
If you really care about sustainability and the environment - don't order from bergfreunde.ch

Hello Vigi and thank you for your feedback!

We are sorry that you are not satisfied with our package.

At the moment we are working on a shipping solution for small goods. “Warenpost” is a service of our shipping service provider and makes it happen to dispatch small goods in small packings. Unfortunately, not all items in our warehouse are classified yet so that they can be dispatched by Warenpost.

Nevertheless, the packaging sizes are standardised to a certain degree so that the trucks can be loaded more efficiently and the CO2 emissions per shipment can be minimised. This approach can compensate for a higher consumption of resources and the resulting costs.

Kind regards, Bergfreunde.de

Lovered the price after I bought...

Bought several products, and a few days later Bergfreunde lovered the price on the products. Upon contact, I was told, “we are unable to refund you / cover the difference in price”. So in order to get the discount I have to return everything and make a new order, a waste of time, money, co2 and is just plain stupid. I reached out to customer service a few times and they decline. They encouraged me to make an honest review, so thats what I'm doing. This is far from normal practice when it comes to running a webshop. We are not talking a fortune, so probably wont return the goods – so I’ll just end up as an unsatisfied customer.

Response time was ok.

I ordered a winter jacket and my parcel…

I ordered a winter jacket and my parcel arrived fast. Unluckily, the jacket was smaller as I imagined, so I returned it. I got my money back almost a week after it.
I ordered a new winter jacket and got it quickly as well. I'm totally satisfied

Still waiting items a month later 32133932

I ordered on 28th November thinking that’s ample of time to deliver before Christmas. But nope. I asked for a refund (3 weeks later) but I was also told nope. I was given a “free return label” after speaking with customer service last week but either way I have to wait for my items to arrive in which lord knows when that’ll be (tracking says it’s still in Germany!). These guys are holding my items worth 400+ euro.
Unbe-fecking-lievable!!

A piece of advice:You should get rid of DHL and have fast track options. People pay you shitloads of money to begin with, I’m sure most will be happy to pay an extra buck for fast delivery. You should also offer refunds when items do not arrive in time. Or some compensation! Keep your customers happy - looks like based on your reviews here, many aren’t for the same reason. If I had known, I would had chosen a different provided such as Amazon who is more reliable. Unfortunately I cannot recommend your website to my friends, not after this experience.
I’m appalled by the whole process. I don’t think I’ll use your service again. First and last time.

People should be warned.

Hello and thank you for your review!

We are sorry that you are not happy with our service!

Unfortunately, there was a high volume at our shipping service company, which is
why shipping was delayed.Unfortunately, we have no influence on the delivery companies abroad.

A refund was not possible at the time of contacting us, as the package was on its way to you.
We are happy to pass on your critique, because we are always working to improve!

As we can see, you have already received your refund.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused!

Kind regards,

They lose your orders

Get ready to buy something that they won't deliver to you. I made an order. They soon changed the status to "shipped". 1 week later - no updates. The tracking number says that the order hasn't been passed over to the delivery company yet. I asked their support team, and they replied that the order is missing and they will begin an investigation. After that, they just silently closed my support ticket (without any communication on that) and asked whether I'm happy about their support service. Then I noticed a refund in my bank account. Again, without any email about that. And it's not possible to order what I wanted anymore. Obviously, I will avoid using this store again.

Hello Alexandra and thank you for your review.

We apologize that you have not received your parcel.

Unfortunately, there was a shipping error with your delivery. For some unknown reason, your parcel could not be processed by our courier service.

Our colleague has already explained the facts to you and we have refunded your money. Please excuse the delay in clarifying the investigation. This time the refund was faster than our colleague's email.

We are sorry that our service did not convince you and hope for another chance next time. We do our best to ensure full satisfaction.

Best regards, Bergfreunde
