Whilst I ended up returning the item, the ordering, dispatch, returns and refund were quick and smooth. It's a shame there are no free returns - the coat i sent back was quite bulky so cost nearly £10... See more

Ordering was easy

Ordering was easy. The parcel was delayed due to Royal Mail strikes - it may be worth considering a different delivery method as I was waiting four weeks

Helpful staff

Their helpful staff assisted me with my returns query and I had an overall positive experience.

The only negative is that I had to pay for the returns postage myself.
The vast majority of online sellers usually cover the returns postage and don't put these costs on their customers.

This company is a SCAM!! Do NOT buy here

Edit: 10th December and still haven't received my order

They are scammers. Do not buy here. I placed my order on 24th November and today is 7th December and still haven't received it. They claim is Royal Mail fault but I have received many items from Royal Mail in the last days. So this is just an excuse.
Their customer service is rubbish and the only solution they are offering is to buy the item again. I honestly believe this is a scam and they never sent the item.
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!

Great overall experience- will shop again

Easy to use website - the jacket was sold at the lowest price I could find. Very happy with my purchase - a lovely didriksons parka. My jacket arrived on time with DPD - definitely worth choosing the next day delivery option as the tracking system is very useful. They left my parcel in my porch as requested too. Great buying experience.

Hello Ms Wilson, thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear you have not yet received your order, yes indeed this is down to Royal Mail's industrial action.

We did try and use a different courier when Royal Mail started their strikes but so did other Companies which caused delays with other couriers; we and our customers are caught in the middle.

We respectfully request you reconsider your review the service you have received from us, (& not Royal Mail) when your order arrives,

We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Kind Regards

Hi Ian,

We would have appreciated if you got in contact with us prior to leaving your feedback. We dispatched your order Thursday 24th November via Royal Mail. Not sure if you are aware but Thursday 24th November, Friday 25th November were on strike, this mean't your order didn't leave us until Monday 28th November.
Then the Week Commencing 28th November Royal Mail were on strike again Wednesday 30th November and Thursday 1st December.
We send all parcels 2nd class which can take 3-5 working days to arrive (without strike actions delaying this)
We would appreciate it if you could revise your feedback once the item arrives.

Coat received, communication could have been better.

Finally received my coat, I appreciate the Royal Mail strikes are hindering businesses but communication could have been better - didn’t receive the 1st Dec email (checked spam too).

Hi Samtay,

We responded to your email on Thursday 1st December with the following message.

"Hi There

We dispatched your order via Royal Mail Thursday 24th November (tracking number ?????????????)

Royal Mail were on strike action Thursday 24th and Friday 25th

This means your order didn’t leave us until Monday 28th.

Further delays will happen with your order as this week

Royal Mail are on strike action again Wednesday 30th November and Thursday 1st December.

We send royal mail parcels 2nd class which take 3-5 working days to arrive (without strikes being involved)

Your order will be working through their system and can only imagine how much back log of parcels/letters they must have to sort through."

We have checked your tracking which is out of sync your order is with PSC Atherstone and on it's way to you, but with delays as stated previously.

Once your item arrives we would appreciate it if you would revise your trustpilot review as these strikes are not within our control.

Kind Regards
Great Outdoors
