I am still waiting for my goods

I am still waiting for my goods. How did you ship them to me? Who did you use so I may check against any delivery service.

Hello John,
I am sorry that you haven't received your order. We are investigating this with the courier as they have indicated the parcel has been delivered, but I understand my colleague is in touch with you and we will send a replacement out as necessary. I apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Update 27-04-26 - I understand your order was located with your neighbour and you now have it.

Kind Regards

Helpful staff, quick refund (bought two pairs of boots as I was unsure of the correct fit/ returned the ill fitting pair after trying them on at the shop) good range of stock at reasonable prices!

Excellent service

My order was acknowledged and despatched very promptly, and I was kept updated through out. The items I purchased were cheaper than I could find elsewhere, and came very well packaged. I would certainly use this company again.

excellent technical knowledge

excellent technical knowledge, when buying a GPSmap9x3xsv. Explained the connectivity issues and subsequently based of the knowledge cancelled an order with another local chandlers. Furthermore came back and purchase more electronic items.

Great Product, unfair delivery option.

The product itself is great (Gill OS2 Trousers). What I take issue with is the quoted £30 fee for delivery to my home in the Scottish Islands. After calling customer services I was told this was non-negotiable. Instead, I had it delivered to my father’s house for free and he forwarded it on via Royal Mail Tracked 24 for £5.90. Whilst I understand higher costs for heavy or bulky items, there should be a Royal Mail option for smaller items.

Hello Gordon,
Thank you for your review and I'm happy you are pleased with the Gill OS2 trousers.
I am sorry you were not happy with the carriage costs. Whatever the goods, we charge £30.00 to various islands, including the Scottish Islands. We generally subsidise shipping goods to these regions. We have looked extensively at different courier options. Our greatest problem is that there are very few couriers who will take the mix of product we do, from hazardous goods like paint and life jackets, to over-sized products like fridges and tenders. The majority of the products we sell are items that Royal Mail won't take, such as hazardous items like cleaners etc, which although small and light in weight, will not be accepted by them. We get a certain rate with our couriers to satisfy the majority of our customers, who are generally likely to include hazardous goods with their purchases. Having said that, we are continually reviewing the situation and appreciate your feedback.
Kind Regards

Poor. Wrong sizes and expensive courier

Been using Marine Superstore for years, but the last order was poor.
2 Zhik clothing items were 3 sizes too big and a Typhoon wet suit 2 sizes too small.
Not to mention expensive courier service to West Coast of Scotland.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you were disappointed with the sizing of some of the products. The manufacturers provide the sizing information, so we will be passing your comments on to the suppliers concerned.
In terms of the carriage cost to Scotland, we generally subsidise shipping goods to these regions. We have looked extensively at different courier options. Our greatest problem is that there are very few couriers who will take the mix of product we do, from hazardous goods like paint and life jackets, to over-sized products like fridges and tenders. Royal Mail cannot take all the products that we sell.

Hello Simon,
Thanks for your review and I'm sorry your order arrived late. We have investigated this with our courier and it seems there were not enough drivers on the Saturday to fulfil all the deliveries. I apologise for the inconvenience this caused and confirm we will give you a partial refund in light of this.
Kind Regards
