No exchange > 30 days

1 star as no option to give zero star
Purchased a pair of Brasher trousers in Keswick
size 12 but short length ( by mistake )
Asked to exchange for size 12 regular length in the Aintree store ( nearest to my location but still 25 mile away )
Clearly unworn
With tags
With receipt
No joy as outside the 30 day rule
Wasted journey
If bought in November the 60 day rule would have applied
Will not be shopping at Blacks again

Black Friday bargains

Popped into Blacks Aintree today for a browse. Ended up buying new Merrell walking shoes for myself & my wife. Great service as always (we're regular customers), this time by Sean & Adam. I'm usually sceptical about Black Friday deals, however I knew the price of both purchases had been genuinely reduced. Even better, we got Blue Light discount as well.

Odd Boots

I bought a pair of walking boots and a pair of walking shoes. When I got home I realised the boots had odd coloured cuffs. I returned the following day, so we could get a matching pair. It was swiftly rectified and a partial refund for the trouble. Happy with the customer service given by Martin

Good to pop in and get a bargain

I went into Aintree Blacks today to buy a couple of men's fleeces. I was pleasantly surprised with the offers available in the store. I got to purchase 2 fleeces at a bargain for myself which I couldn't walk past.
Adam who served me was very helpful.

Fantastic customer service from Vicki

Fantastic customer service from Vicki. I was buying a rucksack and she explains that the one that I had chosen was probably not robust enough for the job. She then looked to see whether I would be able to get a better deal.

Helpful staff

Went to Blacks in Aintree for a new Berghaus coat. Vicky was very helpful, price matched the coat to the online price, which was great and advised me of some half price cleaning and waterproofing products, which will come in handy in the future. Would happily recommend.

Aintree store 10/10

Visited Blacks and I have to say the staff are always very helpful. On this occasion Vicky was super helpful especially with our son who has autism. Vicky was very helpful with looking for a coat and very patient with him which made the experience stress free for all of us. We are regular customers to the Aintree store and it is always 10/10 for us on service. Thank you

Great customer service from Vicky.
Loads of stock and good advice given whilst there. Surprised at how competitive the price was, the jacket I bought was cheaper than I expected. Highly recommended.
