Review of Walking Sticks


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent service

Excellent service. When a small problem arose over delivery that wasn't their fault, their wonderful people couldn't do enough to help.
The product was as billed, a fair-ish price and invaluable on the sidelines of rugby pitches where my grandson spends most of his time these days.
Highly recommended.

Couldn't be better service

Couldn't be better service. Well done. We are hard to find so our courier did very well considering he was covering for his colleague. Lovely chap as well.

The socks are fine

The socks are fine. They're overpriced for what they are and there not going to last but they are an interesting design and some thought has gone into the construction of them and the materials they're made from.
Where this company really excels is that they are very fast. Ordered on a bank holiday Sunday, they arrived on the following Tuesday. They never get anything wrong.
They don't really have fat old guys in mind when they brainstorm their target clientele, but I like a lot of their stuff and I've grown to trust them.

Thanks for the positive review, Phil. I have a few pairs of socks and they are going strong! Have a top week, matey.

The RC truck was exactly as described

The RC truck was exactly as described, was despatched within 24hours and arrived safe and sound. It was also very competitively priced. Would thoroughly recommend them but they were thoroughly recommended to me.

They couldn't really improve on this level of service unless the managing director delivered it by hand with a gift of a bottle of Islay's finest.

I'm sure they'd feel better not having old gits like me using them, but, hey ho, they had my beloved grand dad trainers in stock, in my size and on offer. Plus, said trainers arrived in great shape in next to no time. I'll keep quiet about it but I think they're a great company to deal with.

Another good experience.

My order was filled promptly and correctly.
It needs a lot of thought before buying their stuff- it's right on the edge of my price range- but the clothes I received are very well made, exactly what I imagined and look like they will last a long time.

Thank you very much. We do appreciate we may be seen as tad 'pricier' than other retailers, but this is for various reasons, including the quality of materials, where our garments are made and the fact they're built to last. Thank you for your review, we're glad we could assist with you on this

They are pretty bloody good

They are pretty bloody good. My shirt arrived the next day and it is excellent. The fit is a little tight around my old guys pot belly but the materials and the make are fabulous. Highly recommended, but cut back on the pies even for the regular fit.

Thanks for your review, Phil! Glad to hear you're happy with the quality of the shirt. We'll see if we can get a 'pie friendly' cut in the works 😎

They couldn't be any quicker

They couldn't be any quicker. Order placed on Sunday package arrived Tuesday.
Shorts and T shirt exceeded my expectations and have become instant favourites. The club shirt looks great on but is a little over priced even at the offer price.
Will use them again and recommend them.

Thank you for this - We do appreciate the feedback. The price is always reflective of the quality of the garments along we use as well as how and where they're made. Thank you for your continued custom, it's great to hear they've become your favourites!

My order was out the next day

My order was out the next day. In fact it took the delivery people longer to deliver it than it took CA to get it on its way.
The order was exactly right. They are tending to the pricey end of the scale but their promotions are genuine and substantial.

They're pretty good overall but

They're pretty good overall but, if you need an item for a particular event check it's actually in stock.
I waited until the item I wanted was, at least according to their website, but it wasn't.
There's a lot of this flogging stuff you don't actually have going on and Brook Taverner are not an exception.

Thank you for your review Phil Lister,

I am sorry to hear there was a delay in your order arriving, unfortunately the jacket was not in stock when the order was placed and the incorrect due in date was displayed due to a technical issue.

Unfortunately the jackets were held by HMRC customs which was caused the delay and this was completely out of our control.

As soon as stock arrived into us these were despatched on a priority basis.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused and I do hope this does not put you off ordering with us in the future.

Kind Regards

Looks like they're back to their old…

Looks like they're back to their old ways. Placed an order on May 6th. As of five minutes ago it's still marked 'order received'. Two weeks to take a couple of T shirts off a shelf and put them in a padded envelope?
Even that wouldn't be so bad but not a word from them.

Good afternoon Phil, Thank you for finding the time to leave a review on your most recent order.

I did try and call you today, however I was unable to get through to you.

The reason we have been unable to delivery your parcel as of yet is because the Odlo Men'S Millennium Element T-Shirt is coming from the supplier themselves, resulting in a delay on the order.

I apologies that we did not get in touch with you sooner but I can confirm you should see both T-Shirts Delivered by the 28th May.

Had smart meters installed

Had smart meters installed. They don't work. The monitor display doesn't work. It doesn't show gas usage.
Engineer left before checking the installation was functioning properly.
Now completely unable to monitor my energy usage and try to control our appalling gas bill.

I placed my order in September and it was delivered in November.

Just don't assume that they actually have what they're offering for sale and certainly don't need it in a hurry.

Thank you for your review Phil Lister,

Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay you have experienced on this order.

Unfortunately these were not in stock when the order was placed. These were then delayed coming into our warehouse.
We have come up against unavoidable delays caused by the problems companies are facing due to COVID and we are doing everything we can to get our deliveries as quickly as possible but with so many problems being out of our control this has been quite difficult.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards
