Excellent customer service

Went to buy a bag for when I go backpacking, was shown exactly the right bags and demonstrated how they worked and which would be best for my needs. Martin was the one who helped us through this and made it very easy and quick, alongside the rest of the staff who were very pleasant. Great shop always great deals.

Buying my first walking boots

I went into Blacks today to buy a pair of walking boots with someone I received for Christmas. I was greeted by a lovely young man called Callum. I know absolutely nothing about walking boots but I had a budget. Callum explained to me what my options were and guided me through some of the qualities of each style some of the pluses and some of the negatives he was very attentive kind and nothing was too much trouble. My experience of going into blacks to buy walking boots was a very enjoyable one and I have left with the most wonderful pair of merrell walking boots that I am very happy with.

Callum was very helpful

Callum was very helpful.
We had him in and out the stock room for boots our size. Nothing was too much trouble. Bought a pair each.
Thanks Callum - especially after his colleague had to deal with a tricky customer at the till.

No exchange > 30 days

1 star as no option to give zero star
Purchased a pair of Brasher trousers in Keswick
size 12 but short length ( by mistake )
Asked to exchange for size 12 regular length in the Aintree store ( nearest to my location but still 25 mile away )
Clearly unworn
With tags
With receipt
No joy as outside the 30 day rule
Wasted journey
If bought in November the 60 day rule would have applied
Will not be shopping at Blacks again
