One to avoid

One to avoid. I had to return an item, the company refused to send a returns label instead opting to send out an aggressive email containing a long list of conditions for the return. After 5 days of them receiving the package (I paid to track it) I got in touch. They sent me an equally aggressive email advising they had received the package but needed 14 working days to review it and action it! It’s been 3 weeks and they still owe me £70. Please don’t use this company.
Edit: a week after a wrote the above review they have sent an email to acknowledge the refund and said it will be a further 10 working days!
Final edit: Mike (see below) tells lies.

Thank you for your review of our service, whilst we try our hardest to do the best we can, unfortunately we can't always please everybody all the time.
After you received your order you sent us an email at 19:51 on Thursday 19th to ask for a returns label. Whilst we provide free delivery we are unable to meet the cost of free returns, so we sent you our standard returns email at 10:25 on the Friday morning, essentially repeating the information sent with your order, by no means can this be described as aggressive, the email begins with the paragraph...

"Hi There - Thank you for getting in touch and thank you again for your order. Please read the further details/guidance below and also refer to the returns info paperwork enclosed with your order but if you would like any advice or help please do not hesitate to ask."

We received your return on the 23rd. of April, and, in accordance with our returns information, completed the returns process at our end within the '10-14 Days' we state on our website, admittedly on this occasion this was stretched to the limit due to unforseen circumstances.
The time it takes for credit card companies to return the funds to your account is outside of our hands but we have been told to quote the 'worst case scenario' of 10 days, though it can be a lot less with some card companies.

For clarity, you say in your review that it's been 3 weeks since we received your return, it is actually 2 weeks today, 23rd April to 7th May.
Mike George, Managing Director.

Fab service

Can’t comment on the products as I’ve bought them for a Christmas present but I can comment on the service so far, I stupidly ordered an item twice, so called up and got a friendly answer, sent my item off and got my refund just over a week. Happy days!

Arrogant and patronising

Ordered size 7 boots but was sent a Junior xl size instead. Got in touch to ask that this be sorted only to be given some patronising email response how it would be more "eco friendly" for me to just accept the other size!...and that they were "approximately similar size" anyway. As I recall I didn't order or pay "approximately" for something...An arrogant response that says alot about this outfit.

Hi Andrew, thank you for taking the time to review our service. I note that you made your purchase on the 10th of November taking advantage of our free delivery option, and received it on the 12th. I hope you were happy with that.
You sent us an email on Sunday the 18th December my colleague replied to that at 10:30 on Monday the 19th. She tried to point out that the size was actually adult size 7 though due to a manufacturing mistake they were labeled Junior XXL, as described in the information on the product on our web site when you made your purchase.
Clearly you were not happy with the explanation so my colleague replied again at 12:37 the same day offering you a refund and free returns label.
I have reviewed the communication and can't see anything that could be described as arrogant and patronising. We try hard to provide excellent customer service and respond to emails as quickly as possible.

Easy ordering and exchange.

I have purchased from this company before but on this occasion I had to request an exchange. The process was easy, communication was quick via email and I returned my product, they received it the next day and I then received my new product the day after that. I will use Watersports Warehouse for my next purchase without hesitation.

Good product, not so good customer service

I ordered two pairs of water shoes for myself and my husband. Both arrived promptly (although the tracker they emailed me didn't work) and mine fit very well. I've already worn them to the beach and they're great! Good fit and offer good protection of my delicate feet. Unfortunately, due to the confusing sizing chart on their website, my husband's shoes did not fit and had to be sent back (postage paid by me). I emailed them to get the return reference number and then called to explain that I only ordered the wrong size due to their size chart, but the woman I spoke to was not particularly interested or helpful. I wasn't expecting a refund (in fact, I already ordered the correct size pair from them, and paid postage all over again) but it would've been nice for her to acknowledge that by selling European-sized shoes and then offering their own size conversion chart on their website, they're taking chances. Instead, I was told that they've sold "loads" of these shoes and never had a problem. I won't be ordering from them again.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service! I ordered a Scuba mask with prescription lenses. My order was processed immediately and delivered 3 days, with the lenses fitted. Best price I found out of all the companies I researched online. Can't fault these guys, this will be my go-to place for all things water related in future.

Good selection and fair prices.

We have purchased several wetsuits for our kids through Watersports Warehouse (WW). One wetsuit was delivered in a different color than we ordered, but in general it has been a good experience.

Our latest purchase however was a little frustrating. We did not receive a shipping confirmation from WW, so we thought the shipment was delayed.
Approx. 2 weeks after ordering I contacted WW, and asked when we should expect the package. WW wrote back – now with a Track and Trace number - that the package was shipped on Oct. the 26’th.
Due to whatever circumstances the local postal service did not inform us that they had tried to deliver the package on Oct. the 30’th. So it wasn’t until I contacted WW on the 8’th of Oct., that I was made aware that the package was at the local post office – reaching “deadline” and return to sender.

WW have a great selection, and quick respond to emails so we will shop at Watersports Warehouse again .

Hi Mr R.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service, I note that you have had several orders from us before, thank you for your custom.

On this occasion, as with previous orders, your order was despatched immediately on the 26th. October to your address in Denmark and a 'confirmation of despatch' email was sent the same day. Unfortunately on this occasion it seems you did not receive this email.

We were unaware of any problem until you contacted us. Having checked on the tracking for your parcel it would seem that delivery was attempted by your local postal service on 31st October though they did not inform you of this failed delivery attempt.

Hopefully you now have the parcel.

Once again, thank you for your continued custom.
Mike George, Managing Director.

Honest, fast delivery great prices and products, first time but not last!

We bought two Cressi Travellight BCD with two different order, the team at Watersports Warehouse spot it as the delivery address was the same and promptly refunded the next day delivery supplement to one of the two order, it says a lot about their honesty and attention to details.

BCD Arrived well packed and next day as expected, we have yet to try them in water however so far so good...we will definitely use them again as the service was super!

Keep up the good work!
