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.

Had the website indicated the goods would be coming from Germay I wouldn't have ordered so close to Christmas. It also didn't help that I was given misleading updates about delivery the last of which from "Thomas" on the 21st December said the goods would arrive next day yet I've just received the package a week later on the 28th - too late for my daughter in law's Christmas present.

Hello and thank you for your rating! We are very sorry that we could not convince you of our service! Unfortunately, there were massive delays in shipping within the EU and accordingly a high volume for us. Sorry that you had to wait longer for an email reply. Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk

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

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

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.

Not terribly impressed…

Just checked order progress after three days and not yet with carrier/shipping agent. This is within the three/four days promised, but is very slow for a few items. Website appears largely in German, which I have very little knowledge. Sales agent did not give me a detailed reply. Will think twice about my further orders.

Faulty boots

The boots I ordered came with different sized L and R insoles. Also with a manufacturing defect in the R toecap. Obviously, this was the fault of Inov-8, the maker, but I would have thought that any retailer worth its salt would carry out at least a rudimentary quality check before dispatch?

Tyre arrived and fitted fine, but when I pumped up the tyre the new inner tube supplied by Alpine burst 💥, I contacted Alpine and reported this issue and they said I would be reimbursed the cost of a new inner tube, I am still waiting for my money?

For this specific product - poor sIze and fit.

For this specific product, you should have checked the sizing and fit of the product (shorts) which were stated to be a UK 37in; EU 54: XL but were actually +40in; EU58; 3XL. They were in fact 3in too big at the waist and 3in too big on the leg,

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.

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.
