First class service

First class service from Terry in the bike department and Stan on the tills.
Terry took the time to correctly size and adjust the bike for my grandson and then to ensure everything was in full working order. Stan was very customer friendly on the tills. A very pleasant and recommended experience.

Been to this store a few times to purchase a new tent. A really good selection of tents to view. We were helped by George and Carol. They knew everything you needed to know to help us with our family trip. They were so friendly and very patient with us. We cant thank them enough for all your advice and help.

Ordering process can be greatly…

Ordering process can be greatly improved. I ordered a tent to store pick up which was in stock only for the order to be cancelled 24hrs later. I had to call the store for an explanation and the reason was because the store did not have it. A great waste of time! Like other large establishments I would expect them to obtain the stock to the local store that you have selected on-line. The only option I had was to order online which was a further £20 delivery. Summary - If the store does not hold the stock in-store, then please do not allow customers to select the option. The only plus side was the store colleague was helpful advising post cancellation.

Renewed my membership several days ago but the cashier has not entered the details correctly so my profile says I’m not a member. I’ve emailed customer services and received a reply with a bunch of FAQs to read/try - unfortunately staff input error isn’t listed! Returned to the store today and bought a rather expensive tent from a cashier who clearly hasn’t heard of customer service. I explained the membership situation to the cashier and he couldn’t have cared less! I guess the rest of our camping accessories for our upcoming trip will be purchased elsewhere!

Travelled to the Basingstoke store

Travelled to the Basingstoke store, which is huge, in the hope of seeing a Zempire Monstabed on display, as it's an expensive thing to buy without seeing. Disappointingly, none were on display, staff said because they get spoiled if left out. Also, they said they didn't have the single size, and only 1 or 2 of the double one, despite the website saying they were in stock there. A wasted journey, though I ended up buying one online anyway, not because of a great price,(similar price to competitors) but because the air-pump which goes with the bed was available, and several other sellers do not stock it. So quite a mediochre experience.

Quick, easy and efficient

Easy to order online along with good communication to let you know when the order is ready. Also easy to pick up in store - the collection point is not hidden away in a corner of the shop. Would order from GO outdoors again.

Sophie was amazing!

Sophie was amazing. She had so much knowledge about walking boots and helped me choose the perfect new boots for my hike in September. She is a credit to the team at Go Outdoors Basingstoke.

Martin is great!

We originally went to Southampton store and had a bad experience regarding ordering a tent through click and collect. The didn’t have it in store and didn’t know whether it would be in the stock delivery that afternoon. The staff were polite but didn’t know the answers to anything we asked. When we called and arrived at the Basingstoke branch, the store manager Martin was amazing. Great customer service skills and very helpful. He sorted all of our issues very quickly and we walked away happy. Would recommend this store - all staff were super friendly and had much more selection. Thanks Martin!!
