Just brilliant service

I originally ordered a pair of climbing shoes from Outside, the order was very smooth. The delivery was excellent. Unfortunately the shoes did not fit my feet. Buy a stupid mistake on my part I managed to send them back a pair of shoes that I had ordered from another shop. When I discovered this mistake I got in touch with Outside staff and they were exceptionally helpful and understanding, the matter was sorted out without any hassle and they refunded my money in a smooth and stress free manner. I cannot stress enough how helpful the staff at this shop have been. I would certainly not hesitate to use them in the future.
