Beware return costs - call them if in any doubt

The site did not make it clear to me that I would be charged a return courier cost of £4.75. It's not possible to buy footwear sensibly on the site if no guidance is given on width of fit for the products: fit becomes expensive trial and error, unless you have tried the products for fit elsewhere and know the width of the footwear already.

If the site is serious about selling footwear online it should provide a sizing guide page and actually open the boxes and measure the widths of the typical 'standard' shoes in each range so that folks with wider feet have some chance of getting the right fit. Cheaney dot co dot uk have excellent sizing guidance, for example.

After posting this, Andy and the team got back to me and were very helpful, so I am updating the rating to 5 stars, because they are very responsive. I think the sizing guidance will improve!

Hi Nick,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We always aim to make returns costs clear during the process, but we really appreciate your feedback and have now made the charges more transparent on site before ordering. We also understand that footwear fit can be tricky online, so our friendly customer services team is always available via phone or email to provide further details on fit and sizing for any of the products we have in stock. We’ll be reaching out to thank you personally for your comments.

Thanks again for taking the time to let us know!

Awful customer service AVOID

Terrible experience! I paid to return an item then they took further postal costs out of my refund! They then tried to say they didn’t!

How can you send a Klarna statement when you have the wrong person and I don’t have Klarna.

My review stands and will always stand as your company is misleading! How can you deduct postage when we have to pay to return it!

Hi Tracey,

We have investigated your claim and are confident that you were refunded the correct amount for your return. We have resent your Klarna statement (you paid by card via Klarna Payments) which includes a breakdown of your payment of £62.95 minus a £4.75 returns charge for using our Evri returns service, which requires no up front payment as the value is deducted from your refund when we receive your returned items.

If you feel that you were wrongly charged twice for returns shipping, please provide evidence for this and we will ensure any money due to you is returned immediately. However we cannot find any evidence of a second charge.

Please feel free to contact us via phone (01702 295 678) or email (info@wetsuitoutlet.co.uk) regarding this issue and we will do our very best to clear up any confusion.

Awful Customer Service. Lack of Correct Product Description.

Lack of correct product description. Really disappointed with the lack of empathy with this company. Terrible experience with their customer service. This review is about Wetsuit Outlet based in Chapel Road, Shoeburyness, Essex SS3 9SL. I will be purchasing our wetsuits etc from another company from now on.

Update - With regards to the reply from Wetsuits Outlet below, they had several opportunities to put this situation right. They were contacted several times via email and the responses were quite rude, negative and not helpful. And now i have left reviews, they suddenly want to put it right.

Spectacularly good

Just wow. Was looking for a quality winter coat and did a lot of online searching, eventually picked a brand and style and found Wetsuit Outlet the cheapest by some way although colours limited too one which I liked anyway. Ordered at about 15:30 on a Friday afternoon and paid additional £4.95 for delivery next day. Tracking was excellent and Royal Mail delivered the coat at 10:00. That’s an order to delivery of time of around 19 hours. Well packaged and just what I wanted. Superb service.

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback! It’s brilliant to hear the coat arrived so quickly and hit the mark in every way. We work hard to keep things smooth and speedy, so hearing that the tracking, packaging and overall service all landed so well really makes our day. Enjoy the new winter coat!

I ordered from this company and never…

I ordered from this company and never received my parcel. Despite contacting them they refused to take responsibility, saying their claim deadline with the courier had expired. Under EU law, the seller is responsible for delivery, so I find this approach very disappointing and unprofessional.

I’m now having to escalate the matter through consumer protection channels to get my refund.
Order with caution, if something goes wrong, you will not get any help from them.

Update: they did get in touch after this review and are now able to resolve the problem which I really appreciate, I just wish it wouldn’t take a bad review for them to resolve issues but am glad it was handeled correctly now.

Bizarre shipping

Charge for shipping which is fine, but then they send it on a bizarre route that takes ages and way over the stated shipping time at checkout. My package has gone from UK to Netherlands even though it final destination is Ireland which should be next day between UK and IRE. It said 3-5 working days but its now nearly two weeks and its somewhere in the Netherlands. If there going to use the cheapest shipping possible and route it that way then don't charge for it. If you charge for shipping it should be direct and efficient.

Hi Conor, thanks for your feedback.

We try to make it clear on our website when products are shipped from our UK warehouse and may take a little longer. Orders are transferred via our EU hub so that you can receive your delivery into Ireland duty-free. We’ve noticed this one is taking longer than expected to reach you and we’re sorry for the delay.
