Prices and availability are often the best for some of the brands that I like, so this isn’t my first time using Alpinetrek. On this occasion I bought and returned some shoes as they were a little tighter than expected, however the refund was issued without and problems and I ordered another size. They’re a little slow and I suppose my only complaint would be that they use a ‘co.uk’ address when goods are actually shipped from Central Europe. Yes, the expected shipping time IS stated so they’re not doing anything wrong but one of the main reasons that people choose to buy from ‘co.uk’ sites is that they assume shipping will be swift. I feel that it’s a little misleading. They also exclusively use EVRI. Thankfully my experience this time was positive and I appear to have a a good local driver but I would never choose a site using Evri if I could find the same product for a competitive price elsewhere, it’s not worth the risk

I returned vidda pro trousers, I printed off the label they provided, it was collected by royalmail. I have tracking data and screenshots I gave them to show the package was picked up and delivered to their UK depot. The package now appears to be lost in the system, and I have no received a refund after waiting a month. Very disappointed. I couldnt recommend this retailer, first time shopping online in 20 years I have run into such an issue. Avoid.

I ordered my items on 16th July, still not arrived. When i email, i get a standard response which is no help what so ever. I try calling and the phone line cuts off after the recorded message. It is so fustrating not being able to speak to anyone. I want a refund but when i put that in a message no one replies. Terrible experience.

Hello and thank you for your review! Unfortunately, due to a complete adjustment of our inventory management system, there was a delay of processing in our logistics. This led to a backlog of orders. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Currently are working at full speed to reduce this backlog. Your package could not be delivered on time. We are sorry for that! You can always use your 100-day return policy and simply send the unused items back to us. We are sorry that the delivery time was unusually high this time. We understand that this is an inconvenience for you! Of course, this is not in accordance to our service philosophy. We are constantly working to improve our service. We are sure that we will be able to convince you with our fast delivery times and our very good customer service with your next purchase. Thank you for your constructive criticism and understanding. Best wishes Alpinetrek.co.uk

Purchased a patagonia top for over £100. Order complete and expected delivery for birthday present. Two days later I received a PayPal refund. No explanation No item. Still no communication from the company whatsoever. Bought sane item from cotswold outdoors delivered next day and cheaper. Don't waste your time and money

Poor delivery options, i.e....none! I wanted to choose an express delivery but absolutely nothing available and no delivery timescale or info available during payment process. Its as though we are blackmailed into ' all or nothing' during purchase process! Rubbish

Nothing delivered

I had no idea this was coming from Europe and I still have not received any items. They keep telling me that they are stuck in customs. They are also using Evri to deliver and we all know their reputation for loosing packages.

Still hasn't arrived. When asked, it was like receiving a shrug. It means the stuff we bought for an upcoming trip won't be available to us. Disappointing.

Good product range, poor customer service.

Very good product range and decent prices overall. Disoatch appears prompt but tracking is a nightmare due to their lack of an intermediate scan which means no tracking is possible until the UK carrier is in possession. Customer service response is really not very good and is off-putting. I'm pleased with my items but once again the delivery part of the process is just too fraught.

Unable to cancel my order even though after 2 working days it hasn’t even been processed or shipped. I understand it’s a busy time of year, but to have nothing but lies and excuses then to have two employees hang up is a disgrace. Will never be ordering from Alpine Trek and would recommend that no one else attempts to order.

Did not refund my money!

I usually wear Size 6 trainers but these trainers were too tight and not comfortable for me, so I returned them after 2 days of my delivery, It’s been 15 days of returning my trainers but they said that they did not receive my return and did not refund my money. I am not happy with the service very poor customer service. Avoid.

My Fjallraven cargo pants STILL have not been delivered by Evri. My order is now two weeks late. Also, you have not replied to my enquiries about why my order is so late. To improve and receive a better rating from me please contact Evri and ask them to complete the last stage in the delivery process. Thank you - Ian Finlayson

Nothing recieved, not contactable.

Made an order for 1 pair of boots and 1 pair of socks 12 days ago, the courier hasnt received the parcel, I have had no response from their email contact, their phone contact hangs up on each try. I'm not able to cancel the order. Therefore I am down nearly £200 with nothing to show for it. Not great business in my opinion.
