Hi David / Amjid,
The tent arrived this morning, everything ok.
As soon as I test it I will let you know.
I would like to congratulate you for the professionalism with which you handled my problem, you're nice, fast and accurate.
Besides, you have shown great confidence in the client and makes you honor.
I also thank you for the patience with which you have translated my mail :-)
I hope, and certainly will happen, that they still need to buy from your online site to recommend it to anyone who asks me where to buy camping equipment.
thanks

Hiya,
I am extremely sorry i havent emailed you before now, i have been meaning too for a few days.
I just wanted to say how chuffed i am from placing an order with your company.
From the moment i placed the order, i was notified several times of when the order would be with me etc getting a more accurate time each time i received an update. And also the fact that up untill a few hours before delivery , i could click a link and re-arrange for a more suitable time if wanted.
That is something not many companys do as it takes alot of time and all sorts of other reasons. It really made me feel like i was being well looked after, and even after i had spent my money with you it still felt as though you were doing everything you possibly could to help and/ or satisfy me. Which was really lovely ( you normally only get that service up untill you have spent the money).
The delivery arrived 2 minutes into the specified hour which was absolutely amazing. I have been so used to having to wait in all day to receive parcels that dont fit through letter box. Which is quite an inconvenience.
So to cut a long story short, i just wanted to say thankyou soo very much for such superb service and i cant wait to get my next purchase from you! Time and time again.

Thanks! My tent arrived today, I was very impressed with the delivery service and how it arrived in the one hour slot they had told me! Thanks :)
I'd also like to add that the man I spoke to on the phone, when I was concerned I'd accidentally ordered the same tent twice, was very helpful and friendly and sorted it all out straight away for me :)

Dear Amjid,
It’s no problem at all, problems occur and the way you have sorted it was excellent with no real inconvenience caused so I won’t hesitate to buy again from your company and won’t hesitate in recommending it in the future.
Thanks again for sorting this.

Hi Amjid,
Thank you for your voicemail.
I was going to email you later this afternoon to say that the sleeping mats have arrived this morning. Luckily my partner had not set off to work at the time and took receipt of the delivery from DPD.
I am impressed with how quickly they have arrived and would like to thank you for your assistance.
Kind Regards

Hello
I do not usually do this, but I am writing to say how impressed I am with your service. I only placed my order yesterday and it arrived just when you said it would. There was a mix up placing the order yesterday and I was contacted immediately and it was sorted straight away.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Outdoor World UK and thank you once again for such good service.

Hi David,
27/11/2011
I've just found a spare moment to say thank you for the great service I had from you recently.
The sleeping bag I ordered was needed to put up guests at Christmas and you didn't fail me.
I thought I might be too late with the order but your dispatch and free delivery was so efficient it arrived with a week to spare!
Thanks are also due for the good quality Vango bag at the best price I could find anywhere!.
Happy new year to you and the team.

Many thanks for such a swift reply, David. Thanks for emailing last week too. I have an inherent mistrust of technology, so I am not surprised your email went astray, as millions do so every day.
Well, I'm going to have to get shopping so I'll be in touch as soon as I have a had time to browse your web site.
A special thanks to yourself and Charlie for great customer service, you have been very helpful and I have appreciated your assistance regarding the faulty airbeds. You have both ensured that I would happily make further purchases from breakoutdoors.co.uk.
Thanks again

Comment: This is such a pleasure to write but I wish to thank you so much for your fantastic service. Door to door in less than 24 hrs!!!! Now that is express delivery!
I rang your dept ob Friday around 9am to order an Outwell hartford Front tent extension. The family ( 3 adults and 4 children under 9) are due to travel on Monday so I was pushing my luck I felt to get this before Monday and fully expected to have to leave a little later on Monday. I also expected to have to wait in all day for a possible delivery today ..... BUT NO ! The order was delivered at 8.45 thismorning!!!
This excellent service is on top of having my ordered handled by a very competent, businesslike and operator called Daniel. He knew what was in stock and when it could possibly be delivered ...... but we both understood the normal delays etc .... I appreciate these diffs in business. I am thrilled with my purchasing experience with you and will tell everyone who will listen how fab you are! I will use you again !!! But of course you are in Yorkshire .... I have moved to Brum but only the best is in Yorkshire . Long may your company prosper .... You deserve to. My love and sincere thanks

Testimonial for your website
Its easy for a company to impress if they deliver stuff on time. I feel a
better testament to how good a company is how well they deal with problems.
I ordered 2 Fans on Sunday evening, both of which turned up promptly on
Tuesday morning having been dispatched Monday. One had a bent pin on the
plug. A quick call to the lovely Rachel at Outdoor World and she told me no
problem she would arrange a collection and a replacement. When I told her we
were leaving 7am on the Friday of that week she arranged for my replacement
to be dispatched that day before they received the broken one back.
I will always use Outdoor world in the future, their service is second to
none and I feel confident that any problems will be rectified as soon as
they happen. I is a pleasure to buy from them. The only trouble is I hope I
get a problem with my next order so I can talk to Rachel again ;-)

Dear Outdoorworlddirect,
I am writing to express my graditude at your excellent customer service, especially from Amjid whom dealt with me on the phone.
I placed an order for a tent with ** ******** only to have the order cancelled on me a week before my holiday and received no notification from them. Only when I phoned them did they say my order had been cancelled.
I called you and spoke with Amjid, who went out of his way to physically check the stock to endure he could guarantee delivery. He called me back when he said he would and I placed the order. It has arrived 24 hours after the order was placed which is fantastic and means I have the tent I want in time to go on holiday next week.
Thankyou.

Hi
Just wanted to say thanks. The tent arrived today. It is a lovely product and we are looking forward to using it. We nearly bought the Outwell Reef at nearly 2.5 x the price but saw this tent and are really pleased we did!
Thanks for a speedy delivery and good communication.

Hi,
I just wanted to say a very big Thank you to Daniel Earl, from Outdoor World Direct.
The service I received from Dan was outstanding he went out of his way to keep me informed on the progress of my order to ensure I received my new tent in time for a pre-booked camping trip. The manufacturer delivered the tents a couple of days late to OWD arriving on the Thursday, Dan personally went down to the warehouse and off loaded my tent and arranged overnight pre-10am delivery my tent arrived 9.55am on the Friday and off we went on our camping trip with friends!!
He, or a member of his team has responded promptly, efficiently, patiently and clearly to my various questions about the tent/order. An excellent and friendly service. I felt like I was talking to a friend not just some unknown salesperson he really went out of his way to help. His customer service skills are exceptional and I will certainly use OWD for any future camping requirements. I have recommended them to all my camping friends.
Thanks once again Dan J

David,
what can I say?? First class customer service, thank you.
I hope you get Colemans sorted out and if they want to uplift these airbeds
to have a look at they are more than welcome.
I will bin them though if I don't hear anything after a while.
Cornwall here we come, and hopefully a few more comfortable nights this

easier as I will be out all day tomorrow and need to go out a few times

Just like to say many thanks for the help you have given me over the past few weeks. I’m new to camping and ordered a tent from you, when it arrived, probably due to my own stupidity, I couldn’t put it together. After a phone call to yourselves you, without any fuss, agreed to change it for a pop up tent, which even I can manage. The time scales are extremely quick and the items were delivered when you said they would be. Most people are quick to criticise but not praise so once again, thanks for all your help. I will be recommending you to my more experienced camping friends
Iain Rannat
Many thanks for the prompt service. I’ll recommend you to my friends – v.nice company to deal with.

Good afternoon,
I purchased a family tent, and a camping toilet from you last week (16/07/08), and I am just writing to say how very pleased I am with what I received. I received it on friday the 18th, then on the saturday I managed to persuade my husband to help me put it up, which I must just say is one of the easiest tents I have ever had to erect, it’s great, and I would just like to say what a fantastic turn around I had, I didn’t expect to get it until sometime this week, so a very big thankyou to you all. I have already recommended your company to friends of mine, who are also keen campers. No doubt I will be buying some more camping stuff from you in the very near future. Thanks again. kind regards

Mike, Isle of Harris
Dear Outdoor World
Just to let you know how pleased I was with your service on placing the order below. Even though I’m in the Highlands and Islands area, the package was safely delivered today – barely 3 working days is exceptionally fast for delivery here. And no extra penalty charge for us being a bit out of the way. We just erected the tent (loosely) in the kitchen to check it and can see the pack was factory fresh, apparently unopened. Great value too! With the carriage cost included, you made the best price offer on the net and threw in two super pillows, as well – what more could we want? Many thanks indeed – I will use your services again when we need something you sell. Best wishes Mike
