This company is a gem
This company is a gem. Very honest. I returned a parcel to this company by mistake, they got in touch with me and returned the parcel back to me so that I could send it to the correct company. Im really impressed with them. Have ordered clothes from them too which most have been true to description. Delivery is good and returning is easy. Would absolutely recommend this company. If I was able to I would give them 6 out of 5.
Easy to order and fast delivery
Easy to navigate website. Easy to order and pay for. Items received exactly as described and in very quick time. Thank you.
Exceptional customer service and comms
Exceptional customer service and communication from this company. Rang to say the product had sold out in the size I ordered and suggested a different size, with knowledge of how the product fitted. Also advised the day I would receive it. It arrived on the day they said and the coat fit like they said it would - thank you
Chester Store Review
I have bought a number of items from the Chester store and also used it to collect items bought online. On every occasion the staff have been polite, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Joules is great fun whilst being very professional in dealing with my queries and requests despite me having a very boring name:)
I'm an advocate for shopping local and supporting the High Street so I'll be shopping in store in future rather than online.
Thankyou Outdoor and Country Chester
Fantastic customer service
Fantastic customer service! Very proactive and no need to follow up with them, the team kept me informed regularly until they found a solution for an item that was faulty and no longer in stock. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience
The care and help that I had from the advisors when I rang regarding purchasing a Leonine Jacket.
They searched all over and found that there was only one left in the size I wanted.
I received it promptly perfectly packed.
Made my day, could not have wished for a better service.
Special thanks to Lauren and Jack who were kind and helpful.
Missing Bag
Purchased a bag on 28/12/25 and was dispatched 30/12/25. I received an email from Royal Mail stating it would be delivered 31/12/25 between 11.15-1.15pm. Have check the tracking and it states still at sorting office. I spoke to Lauren in Customer Services on 5/1/26 who was going to raise an issue with Royal Mail. I was meant to receive a call today to confirm what is happening, but no one called me and still no bag.
Since writing my initial review Lauren has contacted me with updates and resent the bag which had been lost by Royal Mail. Lauren let me decide whether I had the bag sent by DPD or Royal Mail. Due to my previous experience I chose DPD. I have finally received the bag today. Thank you
Excellent service
Bought a few things now from this online store, delivered really quickly. No issues, had to return one item due to sizing and refund was done quickly and was given label for return. Will use again
Online in store collection very unclear
On Boxing day I ordered a late christmas present for a family member, choosing to collect in store as it said there were 7 available. I ordered them, had emails saying the order was confirmed. When I went to store 2 days later (the store staff are very helpful) it's actually the product being despatched from a warehouse - not store pick up - very misleading and unclear process - as now this product is still not available 5 days after ordering and wouldve gone somewhere else
Speedy service
Speedy service - wasn’t expecting to receive my new boots until the New Year - but surprise, they turned up on Xmas Eve! Excellent!
Hidden custom fees (30% of price) - Arrived 21 days from purchase
Bought a jacket from Italy. Upon arrival courier BTR contacted me saying I had to pay additional 30% of the price in customs fees.
I buy online from the UK all the time, no one ever asks for custom fees, but Outdoor and Country seems to have a tricky way of doing business delivering to Europe, hiding fees...
Plus, it arrived 21 days after purchase!
NEVER BUYING AGAIN FROM YOU.

Absolutely fantastic service from outdoor and country. Had to call them due to a delay in the postal system, got straight through to a fantastic gentleman called Jack who not only did all he could to push it along but also kept in contact to provide an update. Item arrived well packed and perfect condition, the same cannot be said for other retailers this Christmas. Highly recommend outdoor and country for anyone who values great service, thank you.

We had a problem with Royal Mail messing with the delivery. Spoke with Jack at outdoor and country who chased it up and the parcel was delivered that night. Excellent service from Outdoor and Country especially Jack. Thankyou
Excellent customer service
Have used Outdoor and country a couple of times now and the service is extremely good, the most recent occasion I placed an incorrect order and was able to ring up and amend it the next day, the gentleman I spoke to (Jack) was excellent. I would definitely recommend O&C 👍

I had a problem with delivery to the wrong address. Customer service were right on it very efficient and helpful .
They also were extremely responsive on another matter relating to an order .
They go the extra mile really excellent.
Operating under .ie (Irish website) and in € currency under false pretences.
Company operates under .ie (Irish website) and in € currency under false pretences, it is not an Irish website and there is a huge customs charge on receiving the order.
Not acceptable and when phoned for advice - they advised to refuse delivery with DHL which was not an option on the portal.
Very unhappy customer.
