Best in the Country! They’re not kidding!

Fantastic service from Best in the Country! Ordered a Barbour Sapper waxed jacket in their sale on a Thursday and it was delivered free of charge the next day. The jacket is superb, and the communication and paperwork received was all top-notch. I highly recommend and will be buying from then again.

Be careful to check with them that the images they have on their website are current. What I received in my order was different from what was advertised.

Hi David

Sorry to hear you've had a negative shopping experience. We always try to make sure our product images are as up to date as possible but unfortunately on some ocassions a supplier will change a product without notifying us. We have attempted to reach out to you to resolve this and to find out which of our products this was.

"Best in the country"

Definately the "Best in the country" i placed an order with this provider at 15:15 on Friday 6th and the item was with me just after 9am on Saturday 7th.
No extra payment made for special delivery, this was their standard 48 hour delivery by post office.
Item was well packed, and in great new condition. I will definately be using this service again and pass them on to friends and relatives 100% A*****

THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

I would like to say a huge thank to bestinthecountry, in particular to Lauren for the excellent customer service I received throughout my order. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Lauren, totally professional, knowledgeable, and timely with each response.

Unfortunately, in the current climate customer service in many organisations, has drastically deteriorated, in fact become non existent with people working from home, but not so with bestinthecountry.

Thank you

A little slower at delivery than we have become to expect these days. However, I am very pleased with my purchase, quality fitting etc perfect and fit the advertised description .
I did email to chase delivery and received a speedy response, very polite and managed my expectation. I will most certainly use them again. Provided a personal touch. Helen Staffordshire

I purchased a Barbour jacket from their website for our spring hike. Waited for 12 days with no confirmation of payment nor shipment notification what so ever until I wrote to them but only found out they need to purchase each item elsewhere on demand! Then a few days later I was told they can't get hold of any stock and asked if I want to wait for another half month!! What a waste of time!!! Rude customer service as well. Immediately asked for refund.

Hi Lisa Chang Lee,

Thank you for your review.

Our product page advises lead time for Barbour to arrive into us, however, on this occasion Barbour had sold out of the stock so we had emailed you immediately to advise of their next availability.

With regards to the Customer Service, we would like to investigate for you, would you mind emailing your order number to sales@bestinthecountry.co.uk so we can resolve these issues as quickly as possible with the details of your service?

Kind Regards,
BestinTheCountry

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service! I ordered a pair of Ariat boots as they had the best price here and free delivery. They arrived quickly and well packaged, unfortunately they weren’t the right size but Olivia replied to my email immediately to resolve this and even better they offered a free return!! Would definitely recommend this company and I will be buying from them again.

Dont buy from here

Terrible service. Ordered a barbour jacket from them and 4 days later there was no shipping info. I called up and they didnt have my order on their system. I had paid in full and still nothing. They claim to have sent the order but it is now late for a birthday.

Go to barbour directly, not worth the hassle.
