Great service, bought through Amazon the package even came early. Had not realised the store was as close in Paisley either so a visit in store is likely. 👍🏻

Good customer service

Very good customer service. Unfortunately, I was looking for a different model of climbing shoe but would purchase from them again as prices less than Amazon.

Excellent Customer Service

I purchased a pair of Targhee Hiking shoes from Summits Outdoor, but found they did not agree with me. Summits were brilliant in dealing with my concerns. Excellent customer service I shall certainly use Summits Outdoor as my first port of call for all future purchases.

Excellent Service

Ordering the two sets of walking poles extremely easy to do online & prompt delivery. On receiving them within 24 hours - impressive - a small problem was found that one of the poles would not hold in place when height adjustment made. On telephoning the company spoke with a very pleasant gentleman who immediately gave instructions how to rectify this. This family run company deserves 10/10 for service,attitude towards the customer & help - a rarity nowadays. Will recommend all of my friends.

Great online shop

I was looking for some new walking poles: Summits had them at an excellent price - £10 cheaper than if I'd bought from Amazon and I get the pleasure of supporting a family business too. The poles arrived really quickly and I love the fact they'd repurposed a second hand box for shipping. Thanks Summits - really great service all round! Taking on the big online retailers and beating them. Your 5 stars is well deserved 😁

Dealing with Summit has been easy

Dealing with Summit has been easy, great Website by the way, fast easy and when you have a problem they react.

I had to call them and spoke to Anna, what a helpful and pleasant lady, a credit to the business.

Bought a Rab Jacket, great price, great product just wish I was closer to their store as I would love to pop in and say hi, its good to know that a family run business has the ability to compete and outclass the big web players along with being friendly and customer focused!

Well done

Great products and service

I ordered Vango tent, footprint and tarp. Very competetive pricing, good range and stock levels so I could buy all the items together in one transaction. Dispatch was very prompt and delivery was quick and on time. I would have no hesitation recommending Summits Outdoor and purchasing from them again.

Returns process simple

I purchased some footwear online. Unfortunately the footwear were unsuitable and I returned them. Sadly there were no alternative footwear suitable and I asked for a refund. The refund was processed the same day they received the footwear back. Thank you for a hassle free service.

Easy buying experience

An easy buying experience: Website is easy to navigate, prices are VERY keen. Delivery was quick too (next day to Scottish Islands). Have bought a couple of items from Summits Outdoor now, happy to keep going back.

Rossignol Ski Purchased

I’ve just purchased a pair of Rossignol Skis from Summit. Absolutely brilliant service from a very attentive and friendly company.
I ordered and paid for the skis on their website. I followed up with a phone call to check how long the order would take to process. Anna was brilliant. She told me they would be prepared and despatch in 2 days, spot on. She followed up with an email to ask if I wanted their technician to set up my bindings, I gave her the settings (perfectly set up when they arrived). Anna sent me an email the next day to confirm despatch. I live in Northern Ireland so the DPD delivery took 2 days as expected. Skis arrived perfectly and securely packaged. So refreshing to deal with a small local company with fantastic service. Thank you to Anna and the team at Sunmit. If you need new skis I’d thoroughly recommend them. Robert Blair (Northern Ireland)

Not 24 hour delivery as advertised

Not 24 hour delivery as advertised. Ordered on Friday morning expecting a Monday delivery as needed items for a holiday on Wednesday. Not arrived Monday, get a message on Tuesday to say will be Wednesday delivery which will be too late. Really frustrating.

An excellent shopping experience

We bought an Outwell tent from Summits outdoors . To be honest we were a little disappointed as the tent had some manufacturing faults . However the service from Anna at Summits was outstanding. She liaised with Outwell , kept in touch with us regularly and always kept her promises. This is a company with integrity and reliability so I can recommend them to everyone.

Quick delivery.

I recently ordered a Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Mini Hip Pack 1L. They were fast in returning emails and managed to get the item delivered on time for a recent trip to Scotland. Highly recommend using them.
