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.

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.

Delayed

Delivery was delayed and customer service was contacted. More information was provided and the parcel was on its way. Delivered just in time. It was a different experience than several orders before. It won't stop my using them.again

Hello and thank you for your review! The customs clearance process in Bury St. Edmunds typically takes 2-4 weeks before your return is further transported to our warehouse in Germany. Meanwhile a refund has been issued. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk

Product faulty, appalling service

Product faulty. Customer service appalling. Do not answer questions/emails fully/correctly. Apalling attitude when speak by phone. Processing of returns takes an age, with no communication regarding progress.

I ordered a pair of hiking shoes.

I ordered a pair of hiking shoes, but they informed me there was a big delay in delivery. As I was going away on a hiking trek, I decided to cancel. I'm still waiting for my funds to be credited back to me.

Great communication and bargain for item purchased but delivery times not as stated when purchasing-allow an extra two weeks for delivery to arrive. Have to say the customer service is great though.

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.

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

Scam - did not get £5 off first order

When ordering on their website, a pop up offered £5 off my first order if I signed up for the newsletter. I signed up, but did NOT get the £5 reduction.

bad delivery service and even worse customer service

My package was delivered to the wrong flat block, and it was left in a landing. It was supposed to be signed for but it's obvious this didn't happen.

Was going to purchase a RAB Microlight Alpine jacket as it was promoted as to 40% off. However when selected all were at full price. Very misleading
