Great website with huge choice, well priced. Would have been 5 stars but do not like the restocking fee when returning items.

I ordered a Patagonia parka jacket with a 30% discount on 7 February. After reading trust pilot reviews Shortly after placing the order, I had second thoughts and emailed to cancel. However, I was told that cancellation was not possible and that I would need to wait until the item arrived and then request a refund. I also contacted my bank the next day, but they advised they could not stop the payment and suggested waiting 14 days.

On the positive side, the seller provided regular parcel updates, and the jacket arrived on 14 February, which was reasonably fast. The product itself was as described and in good condition.

Although I initially planned to return it, the return process seemed a bit cumbersome, so I decided to keep the jacket. Overall, while the delivery and product quality were good, the cancellation and return flexibility could be improved to give customers more confidence when ordering.

Good price

Good price, the quality of clothing is good, and delivery is reasonably quick. The top had hairs, obviously from a previous return, but the items were sale items. No issues with the company, will continue to use and recommend.

Dodgy

These people are extremely dubious; I'm currently involved in a battle to recover the £78 it cost me to purchase a pair of cycling trousers.
Two weeks on and still no trousers; they are either very inefficient, or a scam.

Customer service is very poor

Customer service is very poor. I returned items 2 weeks ago and still waiting for a refund. They also charge you a restocking fee.

Currently being fobbed off with regards to sending a parcel back with several coats (keeping 2, wanting to send others back). They are claiming there is an error at Royal Mails end, to which they have confirmed there isnt. Do NOT order. Will be taking this up with my bank.

Mountaineering Trousers

I’ve ordered a pair of mountaineering trousers from them. Ordering was smooth and easy, delivery was on time and very well packaged. The trousers are also amazing…as this company! Totally recommended 👍

Do not use this company if you think you may need to return!!
Posted back goods (tracked) as requested, goods delivered to their English warehouse 2 days later.
After 33 days, various phone calls and emails to company, I had to get my bank to step in to recover £300.
Will NEVER use this company again, rude staff who are obviously trained to fob people off!!
Be warned

Poor Customer Service, didnt seem to care or want to help

I ordered a pair of M4 Anon Toric ski goggles from alpine trek and after realising I had ordered the wrong lens option, I needed low light lenses for my upcoming trip to japan, I wanted to cancel my order. Having ordered on a Sunday night I couldn't call customer support to rectify my order until 10 am on Monday. I called as soon as the phone lines opened and was told that I could not cancel my order as I had missed the grace period. I asked what the grace period was and was promptly told 5-15 minutes... I have been advised my only option is to wait 5-7 working days for my order to be shipped to the UK from Germany and then I will have to pay a returns fee and send them all the way back. This seems ridiculous as it incurs extra charges for me and for the company and is terrible for the environment shipping items back and forth globally for no reason. Surely there is a way to cancel an order that has not been dispatched yet? I was assured by customer support that this was technically impossible!!! So much for German efficiency. I have to say I'm very dissapointed and will not be ordering from Alpine Trek again.

Hello James, thank you for your feedback.

As your order was already prepared for shipment, it was unfortunately not possible from a system perspective to pick out a single order from many others and cancel it. Our fulfillment center operates automatically, which makes the window for cancellations very short.

We understand that this can be frustrating, especially in terms of costs and environmental impact if the wrong item was ordered. However, once an order is prepared for shipment, it can no longer be canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards, Alpinetrek.co.uk

Warning for anyone using Klarna with an…

Warning for anyone using Klarna with an order that is split by Alpinetrek because one item (eg, trekking poles) is too 'bulky':

Your 'orders' page on your account will not show the bulky item as 'awaiting despatch', it will just be a single order with a confusing process as the entire order is fulfilled. Your invoice pdf will only show the items that are despatched earlier BUT the total fee to pay will show the entire order. The Klarna invoice will be even more confusing, as they take Klarna payments immediately but Klarna make it look as if you are having your order partially cancelled. As your order is eventually fulfilled, the invoices will just be additive and the Klarna notifications will also just be additive, as if you have made one order on top of another and not as if you have only made one order. Hope that makes sense. Oh, and there is no way of finding out from Alpinetrek or Klarna if your order is partially cancelled or not, you just have to wait and see. It is not like Amazon, where the order is broken down into the 'despatched' and 'not-yet-despatched' categories. It is all a bit backward.

Not as bad as reviews say

After reading reviews, made me question whether i want to order from this company, but i thought lets risk it.
If you are aware that this company is in Europe and know that deliveries and returns will take longer than if you ordering in the UK. You will be fine. Order been delivered, customer service responded to my emails when questioned them (didn't wait long for response) and refund been issued without any problems. Of course had to wait a little longer due to customs etc. But i was aware of this.
