Just purchased an osprey farpoint 55 ruck sack after watching the store video of it, what a fabulous piece of kit! It’s defiantly worth every penny. The whole process of purchasing was made worry... See more

Fantastic and very professional…
Fantastic and very professional service. Very pleased with my purchase.
Great Customer Service
Customer Services reached out to query me using a foreign card - all very polite and efficient. Very happy with the rucksack too. Emailing me to say that they'd put my other order inside the rucksack, so I didn't think they'd forgotten it was a nice touch too. Thanks!
I would be very happy to use Gap Year…
I would be very happy to use Gap Year Travel again as their prices are very competitive and Stewart at customer services went out of his way to provide a replacement bag when ParcelForce failed to deliver ours on time.
Everything came as expected and on time
We ordered a bit late so were relieved when everything arrived as expected and on time.
literally saved the day
literally saved the day. express shipping came when it said and i called for reassurance met by a friendly voice that sent me a tracking number asap. one of the only places that sold the gear i was after (osprey fairview 55l) and got it to me the next day! very trustworthy company with high quality product and excellent customer service- sent from a happy backpacker in china :)))
fast delivery
I have ordered a backpack, to my great surprise the order was dispatched the next (or even same) day and i have received it the day after. Very much satisfied! Thank you!
Simple search and ordering process
Simple search and ordering process. Quick delivery, minimal packing and the item details on the website were clear and assisted in my decision. Very pleased with the whole process. Recommended.
Prompt service and swift delivery - very satisfied!
While searching for an aircover for my Osprey backpack, I discovered Gap Year Travel Store. As a new customer, I was unsure about the experience. I was interested in an out-of-stock item, so I reached out via email. Stewart quickly responded, kindly offering to update me upon restocking, which happened sooner than anticipated.
What truly impressed me was Stewart went the extra mile to hold the item for me, ensuring I received it before my trip. The product arrived in just one day, making me very happy!
Although I don't typically write reviews, Stewart's exceptional customer service and experience with the store made me want to share this with others. Thank you, Stewart and Gap Year Travel Store for a great first experience :)
stumbled across this website…
I stumbled accross this website whilst looking for a backpack for my travels to SE Asia. I was on the hunt for a specific bag, the Osprey Sojourn 80. I must admit I was dubious as the price on this website was comparatively lower to other sites. I ordered, the bag came the next day, so impressed! Would 100% recommend this company to everyone.
Great product
Great product, competitive price and very efficient service … delivered in good time. Very happy with experience.
Outstanding throughout
Order placed and email received a few minutes later, confirming despatch. Items received the following day! Communication and service were perfect in every way and a special thank you to Stewart for his help.
Ok for ideas but buy elsewhere
Ok for ideas but items are really overpriced for the quality. Bought a sleep sheet and it's really flimsy and not well designed.
You can probably get better deals and quality stuff on eBay.
Outstanding service and delivery of…
Outstanding service and delivery of brilliant products. Customer service was prompt, friendly and above all genuinely helpful - they really do seem to want their customers to be satisfied with their purchases. I would recommend Gap Year Travel Store to everyone!
Above and Beyond Service
Gap Year went above and beyond by shipping my order a couple days earlier than expected so that I could be prepared for my trip. They did so at no cost. This was superior customer service and because of them, I can leave for my trip stress-free. 100% would recommend. Thank you to the team at Gap Year.
I had a fantastic experience with Gap…
I had a fantastic experience with Gap Year Travel Store. Easy to order from their website, waited for some restock on some products. Quick dispatch with notification of Royal Mail delivery updates. Products were great! Will buy from again.
