“No idea what my items are like because they went missing from my front door that opens straight onto the pavement. Even though I asked courier to leave in safe place. Escape Watersports won’t do anything so I’m out of pocket if £100”

Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our service. I can see you did not enter your address correctly at the checkout which meant DPD were unable to locate your house. When you contacted us, we looked into this and offered to rectify your address so your parcel could be delivered, however, you requested a refund, which our team processed within 24 hours. Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, Beckii

I can see the item you purchased was sent as shown on your order, on a 2-7 working day service with the 7th working day being in 2 days time due to the bank holiday last week. Our couriers will contact you prior to your delivery. Kind Regards, Beckii

Hi Robert, Thank you for leaving a review, we are sorry to hear you are not happy with our service. We do offer a free 1-5 day delivery service on most orders, however, I can see you chose to upgrade to the 2-day courier option. Our system is showing your order was dispatched on Monday and arrived on Wednesday which is within the timescale you paid for. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Hi Anne, Thank you for getting in touch. We can confirm your parcel has been dispatched and collected by Royal Mail, however, due to their intermittent strike action and the additional load caused by Christmas shopping, as well as the cold weather, they are experiencing severe delays in processing parcels. We are as frustrated as you by this, but our efforts to find another courier who can handle our amount of parcels have been unsuccessful. So we do apologise if your delivery has been delayed, but we would really appreciate your patience while we do everything possible to get through this very challenging time. Once again are very sorry for the inconvenience caused, please allow additional time for your tracking details to update and for your order to arrive. Kind Regards, Beckii

“You have always been my go to provider of kayaking equipment but as of this latest transaction i am highly concerned and dissatisfied and will no longer be recommending you. You used to have a phone number customers could use to contact you with questions regarding a product. Now it's impossible to speak to anyone. Email communications are neither rapid nor appropriate to resolve more complex queries. Requesting a phone back doesn't work.”

I can see you emailed at 23:44 23/08/22 and we replied to you at 10:48 the following morning, I can see my colleague has also been replying to another email chain you have sent. We are sorry if you have not received these, however they may have ended up in your junk folder. We did also try phoning yesterday and had no answer, but are happy to call you back today if you wish? Our Live Chat is also open if you would like immediate assistance during office hours. Kind Regards, Beckii

“I purchased a cockpit cover that should have fitted my kayak (cockpit size 97 x 52, cover size 95 x 55) however the cover I received was not even close to big enough. I sent a photo to EscapeWatersports showing how small it was and asked for help with return shipping costs, but they refused as they felt my cockpit was larger than advertised. No common sense used and poor customer service, will not use them again.”

Hi Matt thanks for leaving your review. As our team have already advised (and you have confirmed yourself) you have purchased a cockpit cover which length is 2cm shorter than your kayak's cockpit. This isn't therefore a fault with the product, the product is the just wrong size. Although the width may be shorter on your kayak, the length will still likely affect how the cockpit cover would fit overall, and in future it would be best to select a cockpit size that will fit the both width and length.
