Excellent service

Excellent service, good communications and great prices. But, there are some downsides. First, delivery takes longer than you might expect from a UK-based retailer. Second, you will get a fair amount of generic correspondence in German ( I think it’s their excellent mail order rules)!
Also, I have not needed to return anything yet, although that all looks OK.

Late delivery and tracking not working

The delivery time on their website was 3-5 working days for the product I was going to buy. Having had bad experiences with their delivery times before, I called up to check if that is correct and if I'd get reliable tracking (as the item was almost £1k in value). They straight away said that it was just a system estimate, and since the item is coming through customs, it will be 12-14 days, but the tracking will be available from the start. The product got here after 22 days. Tracking did not work. The Alpinetrek staff was not able to help at any stage or tell me when I'd get the delivery. I won't be buying from them again.

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that your delivery arrived later than expected and that the tracking didn’t work properly. We understand how frustrating that can be.

Orders are usually dispatched from our warehouse within one business day, provided there’s no unusually high order volume or other exceptional circumstances. From the moment a parcel is handed over to the shipping provider, delivery times and tracking updates are unfortunately outside of our direct control.

We’re sorry that our customer service couldn’t give you a precise delivery date. As no order or customer reference was included to your review, we’re unable to retrace the shipment and identify the exact cause of the delay afterward.

Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk

Awful AI customer service…

I ordered an item on Sunday afternoon at 3.00pm, realised I had miss ordered and cancelled at at 16.19pm, just one hour and 19 minutes later.
They informed me they could not cancel it as it was already being shipped, however I didn’t actually get any notification that order was complete and being shipped until two days later on Tuesday morning!
I have repeatedly asked them to cancel order, met total refusal, feel like I’m dealing with automated AI not human beings.
They say I have to pay postage for the return once it gets delivered in six to eight days.
I should not have to pay for return postage when they had two whole days to cancel order before they actually shipped it!
It’s quite ridiculous!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We’re very sorry for the frustration this situation caused.

Your order was placed and the cancellation request was sent over the weekend. Unfortunately, cancellations are only possible within a very short time after an order is placed, and during weekends we’re generally unable to intervene before orders are processed.

For this reason, the parcel had already entered the dispatch process and could no longer be stopped, even though the shipping confirmation email was only sent later.

We’re sorry that the initial automated reply gave you the impression that your request wasn’t being handled personally. That was certainly not our intention.

To resolve the situation in the fairest way possible, our customer service team has waived the return shipping fee for this order so the return was completely free of charge.

We appreciate your patience and your feedback, which helps us improve our processes and communication.

If you have any further questions, our customer service team will of course be happy to assist you.

Best regards, alpinetrek.co.uk

Aplinetrek website was great

Aplinetrek website was great, easy to find what I needed and order. After I ordered I got a friendly confirmation order and than another email leting me know when I will get my articles. I got my 3 items in time, unique quality ski goggles, good leather gloves and really soft, warm merino bottom baselayer.
Very pleased and I will order again from Alpinetrek!
Thank you!
P.S. Checking my email I confirm that I have ordered on the 14th of Feb, on 17th they wrote me again confirming delivery and that I will receive my order in 4-5 working days. On 20th I received my package.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience. Buying shoes can be tricky to get size right. The website’s inbuilt size guide made it spot on. Delivery was speedy and updates frequent. Finally, the packaging was very nice (nicer than Amazon).

Great Experience

I don’t normally leave reviews but this is the second time I’ve ordered from a country outside the UK and it has been the polar opposite of my last (dreadful) experience.
Alpinetrek appear to ship from Germany. I tried the hiking boots on in a local store to check the size and ordered. Who wouldn’t with a £60 difference in price!
Ordering was easy, regular (automated) updates and Amazon UK delivery updates provided once they’d arrived here.
Quick delivery too (1 week).
I imagine returns are awkward but just make sure what your ordering is the right size.
Genuine scarpa boots and great service. Many thanks.

Overview

Delivery takes a long time. Refunds are very slow to process. Still waiting for goods sent 2 months ago. Description of items is good and sizing guides helpful. Really good range of products to choose from. Deals often interesting.

AlpineTrek - I'd recommend them!

Great range of products at great prices!
Yes, the company is based in Germany, so delivery may take a day or too longer, but the customer service team was really helpful and very quick to respond if you have a question! Thank you!
