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.

Good value for the item I wanted. A little unclear as to the location of the business ie: Outside of UK so potential delivery issues exist which is made more problematic by the use of a poor shipping agency (Evri) with useless tracking facilities.

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

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.

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.

Good website but delivery took much longer than quoted

Good website and items, but actual delivery timescale exceeded what was quoted. Although all goods were in stock, they weren't despatched until the time when they should have been delivered. Delivery then took another 4 working days.

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.
