Customer Service

Pros:

  • "They’ve been super responsive, updates you frequently, and very pleasant to deal with."
  • "Staff member Jacob went well beyond what I could have expected."
  • "The response from Molly has been beyond outstanding."
  • "Thanks to Joel and Jay for amazing customer service – Trekitt are UK owned and based and should be high on the list for anyone needing specialist kit and clothing..."
  • "In a time of dwindling customer service, Jay of Trekitt provided the best customer service I have experienced."
  • "Wonderful customer service from Jay at Trekkit! I had a query before I was sure of making a purchase and the quick response and friendly manner made the sale a cert."
  • "Customer service is second to none."

Cons:

  • "Not very friendly & not forthcoming in offering assistance."
  • "Trekitt support took 4 days to initially reply then tried everything possible to delay giving me an exchange or refund."
  • "Absolute terrible customer service, package has gone missing... and they can not identify where it has gone."
  • "Awful and Incompetent!! I called in the week to arrange for a number of sleeping bags to be sent to the store... I arrive at the store to be told they haven’t bothered ordering all of the sleeping bags I’d requested."
  • "After phoning a manager I was told 'they don't give out refunds willy nilly', that it was 'my problem with the manufacturer'."
  • "I thought we had come to an agreement but they have not replied to my messages or follow-ups for over a week and have had my shoes for well over a month. Terrible customer service."
  • "Disgraceful!! Customer service admitted that there was issues with delivery information... We were made to pay a further £10 for a Saturday delivery."

Product Quality and Selection

Pros:

  • "Quick dispatch time and provide items at a great price."
  • "Great range of high quality products and notable brands (both clothing and kit)."
  • "The range of stock that they hold is second to none all high quality and at reasonable prices to match."
  • "Any outdoorsy guys would love the gear on show in there. Good variety and some unusual products like high altitude Rab down suit, boots and Black Diamond trekking pole tents."
  • "The Montane Womens PacPlus XT Waterproof Jacket Very light, but extremely waterproof."
  • "Rab Womens Cirrus Alpine Jacket I chose synthetic over a down insulated jacket as living and hiking in Scotland I knew I was going to get wet!"
  • "Great site and shop providing high quality camping and outdoor equipment."

Cons:

  • "After a month or so of trying they did not break in and were giving me considerable pain."
  • "Trekitt sold me some poor-quality shoes which were damaged well under 6 months, despite light wear. They have refused to repair or replace them as per their legal requirements under the Consumer Rights Act..."
  • "The boots have moulded plastic heal sections and will not break in or mould to your feet."
  • "The fit is okay and they do keep my hands warm but I find the 'contact patches' on the fingertips ill-fitting, clunky and it's actually quite hard to use my phone."
  • "Ordered jetboil flash. In picture included gas canister and didn’t state there wasn’t one... They’re breaking trade descriptions."
  • "The only issue is the cuffs. I feel these let in a bit of water and my sleeves can get wet."
  • "Sent slightly faulty shoes back - no problem. Due to Easter Holidays Trekkit decided to send them back again, even though there is a fault."

Pricing and Value

Pros:

  • "Love this shop and the staff... They need to watch their prices even with a little discount."
  • "I've spent quite a bit with Trekitt over the last couple of years and just want to say this is an excellent company to deal with and very competitive with their prices too."
  • "Great prices on a wide range of products."
  • "I have made several purchases here this year and they've often been cheaper than other online retailers as well as offering a generous rewards programme."
  • "You will earn rewards every time you shop with us, whether that is in-store or online."
  • "Prices are reasonable too and I like the fact that you get loyalty points on every purchase which reduces the cost of future purchases further."
  • "Same equipment/clothing as other stores just cheaper with very good deals."

Cons:

  • "One downside though, all very expensive, high end gear. Good to look at but not good for the pocket."
  • "So it is an expensive shop."
  • "You get the impression that they only stock decent equipment and as a consequence are not cheap."
  • "Can be expensive but if you manage to get a good deal - it’s definitely worth shopping here after getting my Arc’teryx coat for a bargain."
  • "The Scarpa boot page listed them as £174 (13% off), the individual boot page listed them at £189 (10% off) and the checkout page, full price at £210!"
  • "But there are plenty of discounts."
  • "Closed down. Review now edited to say 'might as we’ll be Closed Down, as you have to prebook a slot'."

Online Experience

Pros:

  • "The website is easy to use and navigate. It has really useful and helpful information to aid decision making."
  • "Items are always despatched quickly."
  • "Best bit - placed an order today and it was processed and dispatched within 3 hours with a tracking reference."
  • "They always despatch and deliver exceptionally quickly and the goods received are always in excellent condition."
  • "Ordered a Rab coat from Trekitt at approx 3pm - it was delivered the next day at 9am!"
  • "I was also pleasantly surprised they had free postage and it arrived very quickly!"
  • "Website interface is great. Especially the check out process which I've not seen done in this way."

Cons:

  • "Ordered a Rab microlight jacket... Dispatched next day but received it 3 weeks later due to being sent to BFPO."
  • "I have been informed they are unable to refund those two items due to their terms & conditions."
  • "Ordered early December and heard nothing back after package hadn’t arrived."
  • "Ordered from these guys at a good price (and free shipping) only to find out that when I got home from work royal mail had left it on the porch, some absolute fiend stole my slippers!!"
  • "I spent 90 mins being blocked from spending a big chunk of money on jackets because of Trekitt's dysfunctional and knackered website."
  • "Very poor filters for finding stuff... nothing as easy as Gpay one click payment method here in 2023."
  • "Poor returns when purchasing online."

Store Experience

Pros:

  • "I will be looking to buy from Trekitt again genuinely lovely people with a clear passion for what they do."

  • "When I arrived, the store was closed and displayed a sign indicating that they would re-open in an hour."
  • "Having used Trekitt for several years... we were dissapointed to travel 40+ miles today only to be told on the door 'they could make us an appointment to browse the shop tomorrow'."
  • "The Police-State of camping shops. Wouldn't let us in."
  • "Purchased a pair of walking boots for £160, no help from staff."
  • "Ok, but when you walk in some times people seem to look down at you at first sight."
  • "A little thin on the shelves lately but you can always order online and click and connect - usually next day."
