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.

Delivery was very late. I still haven't received my parcel and it's been weeks! I just hope everything is ok with the product itself as it's clearly gone walkabout

Terrible logistics - DO NOT SHOP HERE

8 days after the order and the products are still showing as 'being processed'... Absolutely no update from the company... Very disappointed. I think you need to question your logistics.

Dispatch was slow and item wasn't delivered as they use Evri

Item wasn't delivered as they use Evri, who said I wasn't in 3 days in a row when they never even attempted delivery. I waited inside every day for this parcel and took time off. AlpineTrek wouldn't resend the item or use another courier. The person I spoke to on the phone was rude and hung up on me saying "I was not asking him questions, only making statements and he didn't need to respond to statements." Only offering delivery by Evri (and not even stating that is the courier company) is just poor service. Obviously, this is mostly Evri's fault, AlpineTrek did send the item after all (well eventually, it took 5 days to dispatch), but they chose to use a cheap and unreliable courier and the customer service was poor. Prices are good, but I guess you get what you pay for (or don't, in my case)

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

The website states that you normally receive a refund when the returned goods are delivered to the Bury St Edmunds. When I enquired about this, I was told it would take 21 days for the refund after the goods had been returned to Germany.

Shipping took ages and very poor customer support

Took ages to leave their facility and then was never received. Shipping times have been getting slower and slower and now apparently it just never arrives. Customer service was also very sub-par. They have finally opened an investigation into the missing parcel but everyone I spoke with (via email and phone) seemed complaicent and annoyed. I will never use Alpinetrek again. Really disappointing how far they've fallen.

Super slow delivery

Super, super, super slow delivery. Good prices, yes. But the trade off is that you will wait an ice-age for delivery. Do not order from here if you need your item quickly, these guys are actually a German retailer - not a UK retailer as their .co.uk domain name and English language website would suggest. Best avoided.

Delivery was later than stated. Hadn't realised the item was coming from Germany. Bit misleading from a .co.uk company. Unlikely to use again although the product is very good.
