Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their politeness, knowledge, and helpfulness, often highlighting exceptional customer service that makes them feel valued. Many consumers appreciate the fast delivery and the quality of the products, with several mentioning that items arrived well-packed and as described. The ease of ordering and the efficiency of the overall process are also frequently noted as positive aspects. However, some customers experienced issues with delivery services, particularly with certain carriers, leading to delays or lost parcels. A few people also encountered problems with incorrect orders or sizes, and in some cases, a lack of communication regarding order status. There were also isolated instances of hidden fees for international deliveries and difficulties with the returns process for faulty items.

Ordered later in the day but was told it would be next day delivery. Due to incorrect information from DHL looked like it would be delivered in four days. Contacted customer services who called me to advise they had been on contact with DHL and that this was a mistake and it was due for delivery as promised by them. They then followed up as soon as item was delivered to make sure everything was good. Rare customer service and very much appreciated

Fantastic company

I cannot rate this company higher. They were absolutely incredible with communication, advice and care when parcel force couldn't find my house to deliver to. I'm surprised that they couldn't find my address because the details outdoor and Country left on the box were second to none. It just goes to show that some delivery companies really cannot be bothered to deliver. Would highly recommend and I will be back to purchase again.

The shopping experience at O&C online is always great. I had an issue and Jack from Customer Service was very helpful. Kudos to him. My only suggestion would be that you find another partner for your parcels sent to Spain. Thanks to Correos monopoly and infinite stupidity and burocracy, I paid almost the same amount of taxes for the Barbour, than the cost of the Barbour itself.

Useless company. Endless delays, birthday has been missed

I ordered a very expensive coat from Outdoor & Country with plenty of time for it to be delivered by 30 May for my fiancé's birthday on 4 June. Royal Mail allegedly "attempted delivery"... but no one was in. That’s odd, because I was working from home specifically to receive the parcel. Our doorbell is connected to our phones, and I received no ring. The postman never even tried. This continued for days.

Since then, I have booked a redelivery to my local post office FOUR times. EVERY single time, the Royal Mail app updates with the same useless message: another delivery attempt was made, and no one was in. It is now 10 June. My fiancé still has no gift. I have no coat. I have no money to buy another gift. And absolutely nothing is being done about it.

The package is sitting at Royal Mail Delivery Office which is only open from 8-10am each day... you know, when the rest of the world is at their jobs. So I can never collect it myself.

All I get from Outdoor & Country customer service (namely Lucy) is that the parcel is being “monitored” and that Royal Mail will “definitely deliver it soon.” This is copy-and-paste nonsense that I’ve now received daily for nearly two weeks straight.

I asked for a partial refund but nope, not possible. Apparently the only option is to wait for Royal Mail to return the coat to them (not sure how they'll manage to get Royal Mail to arrange this if the postman cannot even deliver to the local post office for me), and then I can get a refund... after another 18 days. Absolutely unacceptable.

No product, no solution, no accountability. I won’t be ordering from Outdoor & Country again and would strongly recommend others avoid doing so too unless they enjoy infinite loops of incompetence.

You guys should be ashamed.

EDIT: they have now offered me 10% off my next order - LOLLLL! These people are clowns. As if I would ever order from this useless company again.

Reply from Outdoor and Country (www.outdoorandcountry.co.uk)

Thank you for choosing Outdoor and Country to place your order and for taking the time to post a review.

I am very sorry to learn of the issue you have experienced with this delivery, particularly as the item was intended as a birthday gift.

After reviewing your order, I can confirm it was placed on 27th May and despatched on 28th May, which is well within the expected timeframe for the free, economy delivery service selected. Based on this, we would have anticipated delivery on or before 5th June.
I can see from the tracking and after speaking with Royal Mail, they are claiming the driver attempted delivery on Friday 30th May at 15:27, Saturday 31st May at 12:38 and then Tuesday 3rd June at 13:14, however I understand from your correspondence, that this was not the case as no one rang your doorbell - this is extremely disappointing to hear and not the level of service that we expect from any of our delivery partners.

I can see Lucy has already raised this with your local delivery office and an investigation will now be underway, which will include a driver interview. We have also requested that the GPS is reviewed to verify the drivers location during the delivery attempts, so we can ascertain what happened.

I understand that your efforts to redirect the parcel to your local Post Office have not been successful, and that the restricted opening hours at the collection point have made your experience even more challenging. This is far from the experience we want for any of our customers to have and this has also been fed back to your local delivery office.

I can see that Natallie did call on Friday 6th June to advise that there would be an opportunity to collect the parcel between 8am–12pm on Saturday 7th June and due to the inconvenience caused, she had advised a 10% discount could be offered on a future order, which at the time, Natallie was under the impression that this was acceptable.

The team have tried their best to provide timely and helpful updates - I’m sorry if you did feel their communications were repetitive or impersonal – this was certainly never their intention. Please rest assured that each reply was written in real time using the latest information we had from Royal Mail. I can also confirm Lucy was in contact with Royal Mail daily to try and get this resolved for you.

Regarding your request for a refund, as the parcel was still in Royal Mail’s possession and had not yet been returned to us, we were unfortunately unable to process a refund.

Although a return to sender can take approximately 18 days, we would not have expected you to have to wait this amount of time. I am sorry if this was not made clear from our email, should you have wanted to return the order, the team could have arranged this, and I would have authorised a refund once this had been requested.

Whilst writing this response, I can see that your parcel has since been collected. Despite the delivery issues and inconvenience that may have been caused, I do hope your fiancé is happy with the jacket. However, should you encounter any further issues whether it is now or in the future, I have sent a copy of this response directly from my email, so you can then contact me directly.

Kind Regards,

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

*** AVOID *** Incompetence Perected.

This is my 2nd time ordering and both times have just been painful! They had one job, pack up what I ordered on their website and update the customer of the progress. 1st order took ages, zero updates even after chasing. 2nd Order spent just shy of a £1000, zero acknowledgement, zero updates even after chasing. Finally received the two items 1st item not the size ordered. 2nd Item wrong size and most importantly not the item I ordered, just some random jacket they had laying around! Just a complete waste of time & money.

Reply from Outdoor and Country (www.outdoorandcountry.co.uk)

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I’m very sorry to learn of the issues you’ve experienced — this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, so I’ve taken the time to investigate your concerns further.

Regarding your first order, I can confirm that it was placed on Saturday, 9th March 2024, and despatched on Tuesday, 12th March 2024. An order confirmation was sent once payment was completed, followed by a despatch confirmation on 12th March, which included a tracking link to monitor your delivery. As you selected our free economy delivery service, the estimated delivery window is 2 to 7 working days.

I can see that you contacted us by email on 11th March 2024 to request an update. My colleague responded the same day and again on the following day to confirm the despatch. However, I cannot find any further correspondence to indicate the order did not arrive within the expected timeframe.

As for your second order, I cannot locate an order for the amount quoted so I believe you may be referring to the order placed on Friday, 3rd January 2025, which was despatched on Wednesday, 7th January 2025. While this was slightly later than our usual processing time, the free economy delivery service again applied, with the same 2–7 working day window. Based on our records, there is no indication that the delivery fell outside this timeframe.

I can also see that you contacted us on 9th January 2025 to arrange a return for both items. The following day we received an email from you requesting to confirm if we could see that your order had been collected by the courier, my colleague replied with further details of the tracking and an estimation on when it would be refunded. I was unable to find any follow-up emails from you chasing the delivery before this date.

During inspection of the returned items, we found that one item was unfortunately incorrectly labelled. We do try our utmost to ensure all products are thoroughly checked before despatch. However, given the high volume of orders we process, we also have to rely on our brands to carry out quality control checks prior to delivery to us. In this case, we clearly fell short, which we’re truly sorry for.

I’d like to thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.

Kind regards,
