Great website with huge choice, well priced. Would have been 5 stars but do not like the restocking fee when returning items.

Order no.44821383 Adidas orange trainers. Ordered these shoes and they arrived dirty, emailed them, they offered me 10% off to keep them, I have now returned them. I have received my refund minus a £3.99 fee. How can they charge me anything after sending me a pair of dirty shoes?

If you order by mistake and wish to cancel the order within 30 minutes of doing so they say we can not cancel the order but just refuse the package (which takes over a week and was delayed even more days)where once returned and checked will refund you, however, they do STEAL from the refund substantial postage that they could not cancel. AVOID as NOT helpful.

We’re sorry to hear that the situation was frustrating for you.
In general, if an order cannot be cancelled in time and is therefore refused or returned, customers should not be charged return shipping costs in such cases.
Please contact our customer service team again directly so we can review your specific case in detail and help resolve this properly for you.
We’ll be happy to look into the refund and find a fair solution.

Tracking link service useless as 8 days…
Tracking link service useless as 8 days later, still states waiting for the consignment to be received by the courier. I called CS to be informed it's being delivered in a few days. He didn't grasp the need to have factual updates on the tracking link, just stated it's in UK customs hence it hasn't updated. I said it should state that to save me calling. Not interested. He then stated the order will be delivered in the time stated. I said that's not the case as it will be 8 working days not 5 to 7 as per your site. Only a day late I know but it's outside of the time frame. No apology. I'll stick to a UK based company next time.

Purchased from Alpinetrek many times.
I have purchased many times from Alpinetrek - wide range of good quality/premium outdoor equipment, easy to use website and checkout, range of payment options, well packaged deliveries and good communication (re orders and shipment). I would happily recommend buying from Alpinetrek.

Excellent products & professional service
Excellent products - I purchased a Rab jacket and 2 Helly Hansen hooded tops. More competitively priced than elsewhere and the jacket surpassed my expectations. I was replacing a lost jacket (same style), the new one was even higher quality.
Great communication from Alpinetrek all the way and delivery (from Stuttgart, Germany) a very reasonable 6 days.
I will certainly be buying from them again and recommending to others.
Thank you.

Unprompted review
Item arrived late, stained and customer service took 2+ weeks to respond
Arrived stained and 3 days late, missing the delivery window and meaning we were unable to go on our trip with the sleeping mat.
There was no clear indication the item was shipping from Germany. Tracking only worked once it reached the UK, so there was no way to estimate delivery until the day before arrival. When I called, they were unable to provide any meaningful update—only that it was still in Germany. Offering “tracked shipping” that provides no tracking until the final day is not genuinely tracked shipping.
A 10% partial refund was offered despite the condition of the item, which was not a reasonable resolution. Communication then ceased for over two weeks, despite follow-ups, until a chargeback was initiated.
The two-star rating is only due to the quality of the sleeping mat itself. It did not meet expectations due to the condition it arrived in; however, it is still a good quality sleeping mat, and I would recommend Exped products—just not from this retailer.
Poor communication and lack of transparency throughout.

Discount not Honoured
I have purchased from Alpinetrek.co.uk on several occasions, but based on my recent experiences, I will not be using them again.
The website’s .co.uk domain strongly suggests a UK-based operation, which they are not, and is misleading. The goods are shipped from Europe, and in reality, delivery times have consistently been far longer than advertised, causing unnecessary inconvenience.
On a previous order, I returned an item and, despite confirmation that it had been received, the refund process was unreasonably delayed.
Most concerning, however, was my most recent purchase attempt. I applied a valid 20% discount code, which should have reduced the price of a pair of walking boots for my son by £50. Yet at checkout, the discount was unexpectedly withdrawn without explanation. This felt both unfair and deceptive. I did not buy them.
After raising the issue, I was offered a £10 voucher as compensation—far short of the £50 saving originally promised. This response does not adequately address the issue and has left me with little confidence in the company’s pricing practices or customer service.
I hope Alpinetrek.co.uk takes these concerns seriously and improves both its transparency and customer experience. As it stands, I cannot recommend them based on my experience.

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry that our UK domain gave you the impression that we are based in the UK. This is not the case and we do not present ourselves as a UK‑based company anywhere. You can find clear information about our company identity at any time under www.alpinetrek.co.uk/about-us/.
Regarding delivery times, we generally ship orders within the stated delivery timeframes. We’re sorry if your parcel arrived later than expected. Once a shipment has been handed over to the carrier, delays can occasionally occur that are unfortunately outside of our direct control.
Concerning your return, we’d like to clarify that the delivery confirmation you mentioned referred to the customs clearance in Aylesbury. It is important to note that the return undergoes customs clearance there before being forwarded to our warehouse in Germany for processing the refund. For returns from the UK, customs clearance and transport can take up to 21 days. This process and timeframe are transparently explained on our website under www.alpinetrek.co.uk/return/.
You also mentioned an issue with a discount code during a later purchase attempt. It’s possible that the original code was no longer valid at that time. Without order or customer references, we’re unfortunately unable to fully retrace the situation, but such offers are always handled carefully and in line with the circumstances at hand.
As your review does not include any order or customer numbers, we’re unable to verify the individual cases in detail. If you’d like us to review your concerns again, please contact us via www.alpinetrek.co.uk/contact/ and include your references so we can look into the matter properly.
Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk

Avoid. Purchased walking boots. After 5 months they started leaking. Returned via the companies requested procedure and now a month later , receive generic emails when i request updates. Dreadful company to deal with.
Based in Germany even though it has a .uk website.

Thank you for your feedback.
We’d like to clarify that although we operate a UK domain, we are not a UK‑based company. This domain and others are used to offer our products in different countries. Our company is based in Germany and we clearly state this information on our website. Further details about who we are and where we are located can be found at any time under www.alpinetrek.co.uk/about-us/.
You also mentioned that you were dissatisfied with the quality of the product and returned it. We’re sorry to hear that. However, as no order or customer number was included in your review, we’re unfortunately unable to retrace the return or verify the current status of your case.
It is generally unusual for returns to remain unresolved without updates for such a long period. In some cases, longer processing times can occur if a return is handled as a product complaint, as this requires assessment by the manufacturer’s experts. These evaluations can take additional time and we unfortunately have no influence over their duration.
As we’re missing the necessary references to confirm whether this was indeed a complaint case, we kindly ask you to contact us via www.alpinetrek.co.uk/contact/ and include your order or customer number. This will allow us to look into the matter properly and assist you further.
Kind Regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk
Suspect dishonest reason for not cancelling
Suspect dishonest reason given for not allowing cancelling. When I asked to cancel on Monday morning because of the delivery vagueness I was told that the order was already moved to shipping but when looking at website I see its not even processing. Couple of days later its in dispatched status and when looking on Amazon delivery I can see that the label is printed but its still awaiting collection. I know this trick well having used it on ebay to show that delivery is in process, all thats happened is that they've printed a label to show a status change but the item is probably not even available yet. So why don't they allow cancelling? Never ordering again.

Hello and thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry that your order could not be canceled. Unfortunately, your parcel was too far along in the preparation process. The entire system and its processes are designed to ship the items out as quickly as possible. Consequently, the window of opportunity is very small for changes and cancellations. Once an order has entered the handling process, it is no longer feasible to manually locate and remove it from among thousands of parcels being processed daily.
It can happen that the order status in your customer account has not yet been updated at that moment. Status changes are not always displayed in real time, both when an order goes into processing and when it is shipped.
We would like to assure you and all our customers that all items shown as available in our shop are physically in stock. We operate our own warehouse and orders are shipped directly from there.
We hope this explanation helps clarify the situation and thank you for your understanding.
Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk
