GO Outdoors - Erdington Avis 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic service from Emma at the Erdington, Birmingham branch. She was extremely helpful, friendly and professional throughout and made everything really easy for me. Nothing was too much trouble, and she took the time to make sure I was completely sorted.

A real credit to the branch. Thank you, Emma — excellent customer service and highly recommended!

Desperately needed a waterproof jacket for a trip, didn’t know much about what I was looking for and Shauni was great at looking after me and helping me out with my questions!

Highly recommend this place for whatever you need - they’re honest and helpful here which goes a long way!

I went in not sure on what I was looking for, when I approached Olliver, he was very friendly and helpful and helped me find the right boots. The shops a good size with decent selection. Would recommend.

We were served by Olliver and he had great support for us maximing our shopping experience. He was really friendly and keen to help and made our experience very amazing in the shop.

Wide range of products at good prices!
Helpful friendly staff (Shauni on tills who pointed out ear plugs!)

Well, from a very disgruntled customer that was never going to use Go Outdoors again, due to Joe the store manager at the Tamworth stores bad attitude and vile language to a customer due to his own inability to find the transaction on their own system, so how he trains the staff at that store is incomprehensible, the 1 star review represents him and the Tamworth store, I put that low star in the hope head office picks this up and contacts me as their customer service line is about as precise and as efficient as Joe himself, where as Sophie at the Erdington store succeeded in doing what the so called manager failed to do at the Tamworth store, by locating my purchase on the system, assisting me in my options in store, looking for local stores with stock, Go Outdoors if I was the area manager I would promote Sophie forthwith to manager and put her in charge of Tamworth, from a customer that was never going to use your stores again, to Sophie selling me two extra items from your Erdington store, Sophie I rate at a 5,

Popped in to buy two rucksacks today. I knew what I wanted. Sophie and Shauni were very helpful and patient as I went through the price matching that I had found.

Emma on the shop floor was very helpful and informative when we visited today to buy a tent. Shauni was a real joy on the till and the lad(didn't get his name) who carried our tent to the car was also lovely. Get experience, thank you all.

I came into the store at Erdington to purchase a pair of boots. As I was paying for my boots I was met by a warm and friendly staff member called Shauni. She smiled when she greeted me and helped me renew my membership so as to get a members discount on the items I had purchased. She was warm and engaging in her conversation and friendly throughout the whole time I was with her, even sharing a joke about having an Irish name.
It's very refreshing to come into a store anywhere these days and to engage with staff who are like Shauni. Most stores I have been into, certainly within the last 5 years, have made me feel like I'm an inconvenience when I come in to buy items. I wish all the stores I went into had a Shauni.

Thanks Shauni, you're a great example of how customer service should be.

Great staff. Shauni was very kind and helpful. Service was great 👍

Shauni was super helpful and friendly! Thank you

First time prepping for a hiking trip and Emma at the Erdington store made it an amazing experience! She was super knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to guide me through everything I needed as a beginner. Top-class customer service—Emma is an absolute star!

Very disappointing return experience

I paid for a membership and bought a tent from GO Outdoors because it was advertised as darkened. However, when I actually set it up, it was very clear that it is nowhere near darkened — a lot of light comes through.

I wanted to return it, but I was told that because I had used the tent, they could not accept the return. But honestly, how am I supposed to find out whether a tent is actually darkened without taking it outside and setting it up? I obviously couldn’t determine this properly just by looking at it in the packaging.

What was even more disappointing was being made to feel as though I had taken the tent on holiday, used it for a trip and then simply decided to return it. That is not what happened.

I genuinely wish I had bought it from Amazon instead. I would have been able to return it without being made to feel like I had done something wrong, and it would have been collected from my door rather than me having to spend hours travelling to a store just to try to return a product that was not as advertised.

Very disappointing customer service and a very frustrating experience, especially after paying for a membership.

The staff in the store were very helpful , and I purchased two items I traveled to the erdington store after the staff at Tamworth were so unhelpful and dismissive .didn’t really want to give go outdoors my business but erdinton staff help changed my view and I became a member for future purchases

We had a problem with our tent poles and the manager was amazing and helped us rethread them in store. Staff were all polite and helpful too.

Shauni was very helpful and polite. Great customer service

Fabulous service from EMMA very knowledgeable and took time to explain & show workings on Berghauss air tent..
Went in for 2 Vango windbreaks..
Purchased a new air tent with internal & base mat..NO upselling just great service and advising me of a Great deal on an full height blow up tent..👍🏼👍🏼

Brought my new boots in store, and a member of staff came over to help me gave me great advice on sizing and let me try them on before hand, recommended the store each time I go the staff go above and beyond

My partner’s membership card had expired a while ago. He wanted to buy the Phoxx 3 tent but thought he’d have to pay full price until his card had been re-newed.
I spoke to Shauni the young lady at the till and she was very helpful and polite. The renewal issue was resolved immediately and I had one very happy partner.
Thank you Shauni
