GO Outdoors - Shrewsbury Arvostelua 

Just bought a tent from Shrewsbury branch with the help of Stuart (member of staff) 😀
He was very helpful and offered really practical advice. Thank you 👍🏻

Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. I purchased two bikes, one online and the second was on display. The online bike arrived as promised. The in-store bike took three telephone conversations to ensure the bike was serviced and ready for pickup. When we arrived to pickup the bikes the online bike was ready but they had prepared the wrong in-store bike for pickup. That delayed pickup by another day.

Bought a display tent today. Assisted by Stuart and Jude who dismantled and packed it very quickly. Very helpful. Excellent experience. Brilliant team.

Phil helped us find the perfect bike and helmet 😊

We bought some hiking boots for our (nearly) 16-year old daughter. John was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful during the process of choosing the right pair of boots and we were very pleased with our purchase overall. A positive experience.

Great service from John! He was very helpful finding me a new pair of boots. Thank you

Excellent guidance and support from John during my recent visit to Go outdoors to buy new walking boots. Its a daunting task with the many styles and price range on offer, in store knowledge of the products is essential for me and that's what John offered.

Extremely disappointing customer service – avoid if you expect complaints to be taken seriously.

I have never experienced such a drawn-out and poorly handled complaint.

I purchased items from GO Outdoors Shrewsbury where products advertised at £130 and £9 were charged at £140 and £12 at the till. When I queried this in store, the manager was dismissive and insisted the prices were correct.

After weeks of back-and-forth with Customer Care, GO Outdoors offered me a £10 goodwill payment in recognition of how the complaint had been handled. I chose PayPal and provided the details requested.

I was then repeatedly told the payment had been processed, given different timeframes, and had to chase again when nothing arrived. Eventually I was told a new payment request had been raised and to allow another 8 days.

Months later, I have now been told the payment could never be processed because of an internal system limitation. Even more frustratingly, GO Outdoors have admitted in writing that I should have been told this from the outset, which would have allowed me to choose the gift card option.

The £10 is no longer the point. It is the repeated incorrect information, lack of accountability and the sheer amount of time I have had to spend chasing something GO Outdoors themselves offered.

A very poor experience from start to finish and an unacceptable way to handle a customer complaint.

UPDATE: Following this review, GO Outdoors has now refunded the full £275 purchase amount. I appreciate that the matter has now been resolved, but the way it was handled from the outset was extremely disappointing.

Had a faulty pair of walking boots and no receipt or the original box. Despite having a very hard time trying to sort it out on line, I finally got to speak to a person and from that point onwards it became a breeze

I went to the Shrewsbury store after my old tent died at the start of a music festival. I was served by Elijah who was fantastic. He listened to what I needed, made a suggestion based on personal experience, answered all my questions and was superb in his customer service skills. Many thanks to him and the Shrewsbury team.

Helpful service from Elijah. Good store. Good selection.

Fantastic staff, Elijah went above and beyond helping us with our hiking poles.

Phil gave us comprehensive help with choosing a bike helmet, he was very knowledgable & friendly.

I had a medical emergency outside Go Outdoors last night & I cant thank Simon & his team enough for their brilliant & lightning quick support. it took the ambulance a bit of time to arrive but the care I received from this brilliant team means im going home today & not laying in a hospital bed. ive always had fantastic service at this shop but this time it was more than customer service, it was life service & if Go Outdoors Management read this, please give Simon & his team a gold award

Simon was very helpful when I needed advice on our tent and a footprint.

Polite, friendly and helpful staff....thankyou!

Came in looking for a tent got some really great advice of Stuart very knowledgeable ended up buying one also dom asked me if I would like help he took it to the till for me and also put it in my car very polite and helpful

Excellent customer service as always at Shrewsbury Go Outdoors - I wanted a new pair of walking boots as my Solomon boots hadn't lasted well at all. John was amazing at helping me find the right pair that works for me.

Huge thanks to Simon in the fishing department. He was very helpful and a credit to the company. Really knowledgeable and spent a good hour with me and helped me read through the rules of the fishery that I was going to that he had been to before. Helped me set up rigs etc. really appreciated his help and advice.

We were helped by Dominic as we wanted to look at some hiking boots. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and fantastic help :)
