Too many stars

published

Recently my partner ordered Black Wolf backpack from Snowys to replace a broken pack. When the product arrived it appeared a though it was a customer return or ex display as the heat sealed plastic bag the product supplied in by Black Wolf was torn open. Given this time of Covid 19 receiving a second hand product is totally unacceptable. As I needed the backpack for a walk on the weekend I was unable to return the bag which Snowys offered. Snowy's staff could not explain why the pack was opened. Guys plenty of better online suppliers out there who understand customer service.

took a while, but Snowys' did eventually fix a problem

published

My only experience with Snowys was mixed. I couldn’t get a look at a particular tent anywhere near my place, so relied on their online videos and descriptions, which didn’t work out in practice. The tent was really poor in the wet, something I haven’t had to worry about for years, and should have been made obvious on the website. It took a long time, but Snowys did finally resolve the issue, which was reasonably complicated.



Delivery was impressively fast, even during the holidays, but they do use Toll.

Take order and payment, then no goods for 2 months

published

Placed an order, item showed as in stock. Paid, then 4 days later I received notification my goods won't be available for over 2 months. I would not have ordered if I knew this. Poor form to do this.

Order never received

published

Buyer beware. I never received my order, the responses from Snowy's have been delayed woeful to my trying to find out where my product was, and now they are just saying bad luck. Very poor. I see other people have experienced this. Will be going to consumer affairs next.

Uses Toll IPEC couriers exclusively. Be prepared for lost parcels and delays

published

Snowys is fine as a supplier/seller, up to the point when it comes to delivering their goods. They only offer shipping via Toll Couriers, and not others such as AusPost/Startrack. Toll is awfully unreliable.

Friendly service but poor stock experience

published

Ordered a clearance tent with 13 tents left on the website. Came back the next day and they were still showing stock of the tents online so I was sure I had been reserved one. A few days later and parts of my order were shipped without the tent. Had to call up to find why this had occurred and that there were stock shortages. Phone staff can't be faulted though, very friendly and helpful. Just had a poor experience with their stock count.

Best sales and support

I have bought a range of camping and hiking gear from Snowys over the past three years. They have always been excellent in processing, delivering and handling my queries. On the one occasion where I needed to return something faulty it was dealt with quickly and without dispute. These guys seem to really know the value of customer service.

Excellent service, good prices...couldn't use online portal with an iMac

published

The web site wouldn't let me checkout on my iMac. Tried the iPad..nope. Seems there online shop isn't liking Mac Safari. So had to use wives Chrome or whatever on her iMac. Worked great. This little speed bump wouldn't stop me from buying again. Although it was annoying as I buy heaps using this browser. I like the fact they post videos of the more popular products.

Warranty claim

I would like to state that Paul and the staff at Snowys were fantastic, in first finding my invoice no. to lodge a warranty claim, and then secondly actioning it so quickly, going over and above my expectations on the outcome. Well done Snowys on great customer service.

Snowys is trash.

published

I spent $2000 in two weeks and my swag came with a cracked support pole, esky wasn’t as advertised, the cryvacer was falsely advertised as 12volt (didn’t work). I had that many parcels coming spread out over 3 weeks yet everything was in stock when I ordered.....just got back from my prosponed camping trip and felt like I’d been jolly Rodgered by SNOWYS OUTDOORS... And the customer service, let’s just say they are like lawyers, I’ll get some photos and video footage up of their lovely products

Amazing service - makes shopping local easy!

published

Ordered a PLB 1pm yesterday and arrived today at 9:30am from QLD to NSW.

Item was supposed to be on pre-order but after noticing it switched back to 'add to basket' online after ordering, gave them a ring. Turns out when you put your postcode in, it automatically detects stock level from one of two of their warehouses. It was out of stock at my 'local' warehouse so they re-routed the order to the other straight away!

So glad to be able to go hiking with it this month rather than next! Thanks, Snowys!

This is my first dealing with Snowys. I ordered a folding card table online. I was immediately informed it wasn’t in stock but was given a date for its delivery and was kept informed as to its status. Spot on! It arrived today exactly as promised. I could not be more pleased. Very efficient and friendly.
