Very good customer service

Very good customer service. Returned item as it was too large, stating I would have re ordered in smaller size which was not available. Received e mail stating smaller size now available,and asking if I would prefer this to a refund. At my request send smaller size. Significantly cheaper prices than other outlets.

Wrong size

The company were very good about refunding, the shoes I bought were too big, but that was not Outside's fault - Altra have changed their sizing.

Great experience!

I had a great time. The walk was well lead and there was plenty of opportunity to speak to Ben and the Buffalo staff. It was well organised and a good sized group to feel part of something special.

Thank you for your fantastic comments. We are very happy to help form stronger ties between a local manufacturer and the end-users.

They advertise products that they don’t have🙄

They advertise products that they do not have in stock and then cancel orders… They don’t answer the phone during their advertised open hours. Decent email communication but still frustrating. I wouldn’t risk wasting my time again.

I'm very sorry to hear that we weren't able to process your order. While we do try and keep our stock availability as accurate as possible, occasionally error do occur. Sometimes as a result of theft from the shop, sometimes from the wrong size or colour being sold at the till. On this occasion it looks like we contacted you about the issue in less than half a working day, and offered a very similar, and slightly more expensive option which you chose to decline. We have therefore cancelled the order at your request.

With regards the missed phonecalls, I wasn't able to find any record of a missed call from your number I'm afraid. We do have two phone numbers, one for web sales, and a different number for the shop. Apologies if you weren't able to get through on either number.

Great customer service by staff member

The staff member I spoke to was really helpful and found the brand and exact size of waterproof trouser that I wanted - which seemed to be the only place in the UK that had a pair in stock. Arrived quickly. Very good service.
