Hi Everyone,

Not posted for a long time, but wanted to come on here and let you know how pleased I am with Go Outdoors... Something like this may have already been posted sorry if I'm repeating.

I bought a new tent last Friday, a Voyager 6 for £249.. Then last night I get an email from Go Outdoors telling me there is now 20% off Hi Gear this weekend. B*gger, I thought, I could have saved myself £50! So I phoned the store up and they said to pop in and they would refund me the £50 difference. So I did.

Excellent customer service! Thank you Go Outdoors.

So let me get this straight...
You walked in, they gave you £50 back..... and you walked out again? With the money in your pocket?

BOOO!!!!!!

Well done, but Mucker is right you should have spent the money on a extra bit of camping gear.

I hate it when sales go on when you have just bought something... I do tend to take em back tho and re buy them at the cheaper price

Jonboy, am I reading this correctly? Go Outdoors price matched themselves?

result if they do... could end up with some proper bargins.. especially as they advertise when theres going to be offers on...

just checked there terms on price matching terms and conditions


Price Guarantee is applicable against any competitor to GO Outdoors in the mainland UK, including any UK websites .
but excluding auction sites, market stalls, private sales, liquidation sales, our own stores, gooutdoors.co.uk or any typographical errors

maybe just dropped lucky there...

Well they've let me down so I'm not so fond of GO at the moment - price matched a tent been waiting all week for the delivery. Chased it yesterday to be told it would be next Monday when it would be delivered, but then got told they are out of stock of my tent and don't know when they will next be in.
No happy as due to be going away for half term, all paid for and have a family coming with us.

I'm not happy at being told something that clearly want true and then tried to fob us off ......not good enough

Ha ha! Thanks for the replies! I did try to buy a footprint while I was there but they were sold out, so I tried to spend the £50

Not good Sammy though, hope they soon come through for you.

It's old isn't it! If they weren't going to do it, I was going to ask for a refund, then go back in and re- buy it.

I returned a Hi Gear item today (which I'd bought last Monday) and then re-bought it with the 20% discount. I asked first and they said lots of people do it!!

Jonboy, what I found incredible is not that they offered you a reduced price but they then knocked off an additional 10%.
