Rude and arrogant manager

My wife was looking for a pair of walking shoes and selected a one off the display showing a member price of £85 plus a membership of £5. When we went to pay for it the price was nearer £150. The assistant was confused and asked the manager to check. He eventually strolled down the stairs looking very disinterested. After a couple of minutes he said that the shoes were on the wrong stand and the price on the till was correct. He flatly refused my request to honour the price advertised with a smirk on his face.

Fantastic customer service. Ciaran was brilliant. I called ahead to order a few items. By the time I got to the store, the items were ready for me to collect. Simple and easy. Excellent customer service.

Fantastic value for money

I went into the Reading store looking for a cheap rucksack. I paid £5 for the years membership, and was able to buy a very nice Nepal 65 backpack for just £20 ! It's light, appears to be well-made, and should be perfect for my day-walks along the Thames footpath and trips to London. I was served by Veronica who was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

A great place to look for outdoor…

A great place to look for outdoor clothing and equipment. Just entered to get some idea of the prices of winter pants. Sam was very helpful giving me ideas and recommendations. So next day i went in after deciding to buy from this store. And as i went alone to buy and Sophie was very helpful and got me the best deal. Great Customer Service. A big thank you to Sam ( i later got to know he was the manager) and Sophie.

Great help and advice with a smile

I went in to buy a pair of walking shoes and was pleasantly surprised with the help I received from Veronica the section supervisor, she helped me wade through the various important elements of a good walking boot, such as a good waterproofed upper section using Gor-Tex and a well made Sole with a high grip properties.. Great help and advice with a smile. Thanks Veronica
