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’ve always been very happy with Alpinetrek but they now use Evri as carrier and they are hopeless. I had to wait 2 weeks for the package, as Evri couldn’t be bothered to bring it round. If you go to a professional carrier, I’ll be back.

Return process is a shambles.

Returned an item, fully tracked, yet Alpine trek are denying item received or refund despite tracking showing received. This isn’t the first time. Reply: I HAVE submitted the tracking and I have submitted a photo of the postal receipt.

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.

Not a happy customer!!

I ordered this sleeping bag which was advertised at £231 at the time of ordering it. It said delivery would be 8 to 10 days. 10 days past and no sleeping bag. I contacted alpinetrek to be told due to low stock my order was cancelled and i would be refunded. I went straight back on the website the same day and it was still in stock..but now for an increased price! This is one customer who feels completely let down !!! Extremely poor service!!!

Wrong item received

I ordered some blue goggles 27th November which took 13 days to arrive. When I opened the package you had sent the wrong item, you had sent yellow ones. I have tried 6 times to phone but my calls keep getting cut off. I have sent an email but have had no response that makes any sense. It is now too late for you to send me the correct goggles before Christmas as your postage takes too long so I have requested a full refund for the incorrect item you sent out including refund of postage and also asked how I can send the incorrect item back also without having to pay postage as I don’t want to pay postage either way for an item I did not order. Very unhappy and frustrated with lack of customer service.

S**tshow

This has been by far and away the worst mail order experience I have ever had. Having ordered some walking shoes a message then appears saying the company is experiencing delays. If this was known in advance I would not have ordered!! Upon contacting the company five times I have been told that they would look into what is happening and promised they would get back to me but they haven’t. Alpine Trek have however been capable of processing my payment but can’t seem to process an order or refund. Have I been scammed? Please be wary!

Would not use again due to refund timescales, shame really

Good products good prices, HOWEVER Couple of days to get to me massive delays in getting refunds the two times should be the same. If you can sell it quickly you should refund it quickly. 'Thank you for your email! I am sorry your return hasn’t been processed yet. Due to post-Brexit customs clearance in Bury St Edmunds, it will take 5-21 days to process your return. You can check whether your parcel has arrived successfully at our customs export centre in Bury St Edmunds by using the tracking number on your postal receipt.'

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.

I placed an order with AlpineTrek and received an order confirmation but they never took the payment. I emailed them a couple of days after the order was placed and asked where my order was. As I didn't receive a response and the payment hadnt gone through i purchased the items from another supplier. A few days after I received a response from Alpine Trek saying that they had finally processed the order and they took payment. I placed the order 27.11.23 and still have not received my order. Alpine Trek does not have prepaid returns so when the items finally arrive I will need to send them back. I would appreciate a prepaid returns label due to the poor service received and the long delay in processing the order as I ordered them from an alternative supplier who delivered within a day or two and no longer require the items. I did email a few times asking for the order to be cancelled as there was such a long delay but was told that this was not an option as the order had already been disptached. As i said I am still waiting for the goods to arrive

Poor customer service, long delivery

Poor customer service. They replied to my query, after 8 days and with an answer that had nothing to do with my issue.
