Just purchased a pair of Zamberlan boots, the boots speak for themselves, the price brilliant, so much so i bought a pair for my wife both pairs the delivery was very good considering no delivery charge.
The service was great my wives pair were price matched which i didn’t enter the discount code at the time but this was refunded later. the service first class.
Brilliant boots brilliant service brilliant price.
Many thanks 😊
J. B.
Fantastic company to deal with.
They kept me informed about my order every step of the way. The order arrived very quickly and was well packaged.
Their website also lists a phone number where you can speak to members of the team and ask for advice about purchases.
I will certainly use them again and would recommend them to anybody wanting a premium service
M. M.
First rate, highly recommended. Absolute Snow offered the best online price for what I was after. I ordered online one evening, choosing the Royal Mail first class delivery, and the next day I got a succession of notifications telling me the order was received, then packed, then sent. The item arrived the next morning. Many thanks!

Just made my first order from Absolute Snow yesterday. First, their selection is massive. I was able to find a pair of Vans that was in demand and hard to find on most websites, and not only that, it was at a significantly lower price. Second, I really like the speed at which the order was dispatched, and the email communications informing me of every step taken. Since I just placed the order yesterday, it still didn't arrive yet, but the experience has been so positive so far that I felt compelled to give them the thumbs up.
A. G.
Absolutely amazed by the delivery service I opted for the free delivery as I wasn't in a rush to get the Vans and I got an email to say they had been picked, then packed and then received by royal mail and the following day I received the shoes! Now to say I'm impressed is an understatement, unless it's Amazon prime nothing comes next day completely free of charge. Would 1000% recommend these guys!
M. L.
a great range of gear to suit all pockets but best of all their customer service is amazing I had a issue with order (not absolute snows fault) parcelforce lost my order. when I phoned and explained what had happened absolute snow sent my order out again without hesitation. I've had to wait days in similar situations with other companies. thank you dudes, proper ninjas.
N. K.
I can't say how chuffed I am with these guys. I've ordered twice now, frankly because they were cheaper than anyone else and keep expecting to find out what's the catch! The goods have been in stock, as advertised, and they've arrived ahead of time on both occasions. I had emails when it's picked and sent, and tracking numbers from royal mail. My last purchase I ordered on 2 day delivery on Tuesday, but in the evening and it still came on the Thursday, and I was on the mountain by Friday. Absolute (no pun intended) result. Thanks guys.
L. P.
Good range of products. Ordered on the Wednesday, received an personable email to let me know who and when my ordered was being packaged. Arrived Thursday in great condition. Very happy!
R. Y.
Superb, I'll definitely be returning to Absolute Snow! Found what I was looking for cheaper than anywhere else, then super fast handling and fantastic communication throughout followed! Delivery was next day - amazing. Highly recommend for all your outdoor needs, what a gem of a company.
S. P.
Wow, wow! It is very rare that I am genuinely blown away by customer service but these guys have absolutely nailed it! Ordered today at 11am and had confirmation of order, pick and dispatch… all by 7pm! Updates were from actual staff and not automated… will definitely shop here again. Great job Absolute Snow 👏🏻
m. r.
Great prices & excellent service. Ordered on the Monday evening received emails when my order was picked & packed. Then later with the tracking number(on the Tuesday).Delivered on the Wednesday(North East Scotland)👏👏
E. S.
Excellent product selection, very prompt turn around of order and plenty of updates on order status. VERY happy. Will buy from them again and would def recommend.
e. m.
Great service, fast delivery. I had to return the climbing shoes I brought as they were a size too big and the process was really smooth. I would happy to buy from absolute snow again.
M. M.
Excellent service. Ordered a rucksack on Sunday and it was delivered the very next day. Excellent item and a good price in the sale. Would definitely use again.
M. M.
Ordered online and I was fully informed during the entire process by their friendly team :) shipping was quick and my order had arrived within 24 hours. Would defo order again in future and recommend!

I bought bindings from them (Tyrolia Attack demos) at a great price, on a weekend. They were shipped right away on Monday, and got to my home (West Coast, US) by Wednesday. Great price, perfectly packed. I'll be back 😀
V. T.
Fantastic online service the communication around the dispatch is fantastic. Great prices as well as a large range of options. Will always check here first when needing new wakeboarding gear.
M. W.
Always good product range and prices and faultless after sales Comms with very fast delivery. I've used them many times now, and it's been perfect every time.
S. O.
Great communication from when you place your order all the way to despatch. Fast delivery and great prices. Wouldn't hesitate to shop from here again!

Just bought a patagonia fleece - cheaper than everywhere else online and received 48 hrs later! Comms has been top notch, thank you Simon, Mark and Kieran for keeping me posted on every stage of the order (picking, packing and despatch)! Very thorough! Will use again for sure! Keep up the service levels!

Bought an Osprey backpack. Communication on order progress was first rate, and delivery much quicker than promised or expected.
Product as expected. Would recommend.
G. C.
Ordered a wheeled holdall yesterday morning and it arrived at 08.30 this morning. Fantastic delivery! So much better than Hermes/Evri.
The holdall is good quality and a good pricel.
E. R.
Best online shopping experience ever. Excellent communication and delivered in less than 24 hours with Royal Mail tracked 24. Thanks
D. S.

Great experience, super helpful when I needed a replacement rainfly, and the original order was sent out timely and was in top notch condition ready for use. Thank you!
C. J.
In LOVE with my first ever snowboard and bindings. 💜 I am a total newbie to snowboarding and Absolute Snow have the best prices going for boards and bindings, I couldn't find better and was really happy with all the sizing hep guides on their website. I was confident I was getting the correct board and at great quality too. Ordered on a sat and arrived on Wednesday complete with an Absolute snow Board bag !! Great surprise :) Thank you so much and I can't wait to get onto the slopes soon!!! 🏴
b. c.
Always 5 star service - urgent delivery needed when Royal Mail were having issues- excellent customer service and delivered by Evri next day at no extra cost - thank you Absolute Snow !! Legends 👍
I. A.
Absolutely love that shop! Buying all my snowboarding gear there for over 10 years and never unsatisfied. Customer support is brilliant, always discounts and coupons, great sales and quality of equipment and clothes is top notch. Highly recommended to all armatures and pros in winter and summer sports!
Thank you guys, you make my seasons!
P. H.
Fast delivery. Great price + discount + coupon for black Friday. Almost 50% off. Hoped for some stickers, but I received even a greater gift, a board bag... Thank you guys, you are awesome. Definitely I will recommend you to my friends in Bulgaria. Piece and powder to the people!
a. i.
Have purchased from here on several occasions. I like the detailed updates I get about when my order is being prepared and shipped. I appreciate being kept in the loop. The stuff I ordered has always been top notch and cheaper than elsewhere. Very happy with the quality and speed of processing / delivery. I don't have any complaints about them so far, would wholeheartedly recommend them. Thanks for a sweet deal and high quality snow gear!
P. M.
I don’t normally write reviews regarding purchases but felt that I should in this instance.
I had been looking for a particular rucksack for some time. It was extremely hard to source a UK supplier. I eventually found what I was looking for via Absolute Snow. I placed my order. After ordering I looked at reviews for the company on Trust pilot. I immediately regretted placing the order as it appeared that so many people hadn’t received their items and the store was permanently closed and not answering calls.
Well, my pack turned up today (next working day) and I couldn’t be happier!! Great service and great communication.
I have no links with the company. This was my first order. Very impressed. Thank you.
G. H.
Ordered from Absolute Snow a couple of times and they have always been perfect. The prices are competitive, the delivery is quick with emails to keep you updated on progress. All in all a perfect online shopping experience. Will certainly use again.
H. E.
I bought some rope on Sunday, it arrived via Royal Mail this morning (Tues ),
couldn't ask for better service, all the way to Loch Ness as well!
Absolute Snow have really got my attention, the price was good too. Going to buy a rope bag now, should have done before.
C. S.
Just had my Volkl Blaze 94 s and fitted bindings delivered in 48hours. Can't wait to try them out. I'm very pleased with the service I've received from Absolute Snow and they will definitely be my first port of call when I need to make some more related purchases.
P. H.
The service I received from Absolute Snow was Absolutely Brilliant. The prices are very competitive and the ordering is easy it was dispatched within a day and delivered within three days even with Royal Mail 2nd Class and at every stage they emailed with updates. Fantastic. On the basis of my experience would unreservedly recommend.
M. S.
Never shopped with Absolute Snow before. They were brilliant! Service is amazing - a massive thanks goes out to Dominique who was very helpful both over email and phone. Nothing is too much trouble, delivery is fast, and returns are easy enough too. There are several returns options too - this was very convenient. Communication after placing an order is the best I have experienced yet - you're emailed several times through the evening at every step of the order being picked, checked, packed, sent etc etc. Will definitely shop here again and would highly recommend them!

I rarely see reviews that are so unrepresentative of quality. Perhaps Absolute Snow had a difficult period over Xmas 2021, but they are a reputable retailer that I have been purchasing from for years.
I just received a Dakine Low Roller approx 20% below retail and the experience was great from order to delivery. I would recommend.
C. C.
Don’t normally do reviews, but seriously talk about communication, received 3 emails regarding the stages off my delivery from packing to Quality check then one confirming delivery information. Nice personal touch and the cheapest place for my snigpak tent. Great service
F. M.
The most effective and fast customer service I have ever experienced.
I got an email to say when my order was packed, dispatched and tracking number in the same day. This 100% is my go to store from now on for all of my climbing needs.
More than satisfied with the efficiency of the service.

The "Sorel Youth Joan of Arctic Kid's" boots were ordered on 16-Nov-2016 with 7 working days of estimated delivery time frame announced by the Absolute Snow" team.
Within the next day or two I've got several mails in sequence order with confirmation about availability of the right size & color, packing and dispatching of the boots.
On 28-Nov there were still no any news about and that makes me a bit worrying as this was the first experience with "Absolute Snow" for me.
So, "having in pocket" one week of delivery delay I was almost ready to send that kind of mail which usually people sending when they get upset, bearing in mind that boots were 100% payed. The only thing, which thanks god, holds me for a while from sending that mail it is the fact of very good feedback (two ways communication) from the "Absolute Snow" team from the very beginning till now.
I decide to make sure there is no any fail from my side for such "one week time of delay" and refer to the section "most frequently asked questions" on the web site where they advising to check the mail box for delivery notification from the local post by asking you neighbors or anyone who could get on your behalf.
Finally we came to know that on 23-Nov (on the 6th day) it was delivered to our local post center and more over the delivery notification was just lost among the other mails on the reception of our building. Therefore it would be good to suggest the customers do not repeat my "upset fault" and to read carefully all and everything on the web site before to get an upset of anything :)
At the end of the feed back, which seems to looks more close to granny worries story, it would be fair to state that the boots arrived within the estimated time frame. There were no any damages to the product noticed. The colors and "touch-quality" seems to be beyond the best expectations, it appears to be a really good product.
REMARK - the feed back is provided with reference to the BUYER visual and touch quality appearance only. However the BUYER believes that the final CUSTOMER going to be dry, warm and happy about it.
D. J.
Best place to buy all your snowboarding, skiing and climbing gear plus loads more. Amazing staff and loads of products in stock.
S. W.
Ordered a pair of boots online at a great competitive price. I wasn't sure about the fit so booked an appointment in store. There is ample customer parking and the shop is easy to find. The staff were, friendly, funny and most of all knowledgeable. I got great advice and a comfortable heat fitted boot that I can't wait to try. Can't recommend them enough.
T. S.
Very quick delivery and good price for an excellent item. Kept me well informed of what was happening re delivery of my order.
M.
Great service, super quick delivery and excellent communication all the way. Item exactly as purchased. Highly recommend.
J. H.
Don't normally write reviews but I found this company after a Google shopping search. Was a little apprehensive as it wasn't one I knew BUT the customer service was excellentl! Updated at every step and my bag came before 9am today after ordering at 10pm on Monday. Will buy from there again.
J. M.
Fantastic customer service, regular updates, very quick delivery. Will definitely use again. Thank you!
C.
Amazing service. Ordered yesterday and received my parcel this morning. The Absolute Team sent an email update at each step in the process and made me feel a very valued customer. This is the first time I have bought from Absolute Snow but it will now be my go to place when looking for new gear. What a wonderful experience; if only online shopping was always this good. I am so pleased with my new camping chair.
D. E.
I have bought previously from Absolute Snow therefore was surprised by some of the negative reviews online. I have recently made 2 purchases for goggles and now a backpack, and have once again been very pleased by the email communication, swift delivery and overall service. Although we struggled to speak to anyone on the phone, I strongly recommend Absolute Snow for buying your ski gear.
L. T.
I ordered some Burton Snowboarding Mitts on Wednesday and they were posted out that day and I received them on Thursday, impressive organisation & fast posting/delivery by Royal Mail 1st class. Gloves are just what I was looking for and in use by Friday morning. Great description on website & fab sale price too 😍
C. H.
Great service, I made my order at 7pm and it was at my door by 9am the following day, I was kept updated with tracking. Also, their website is really user friendly and easy to navigate and they have a great selection, everything you need. Thanks guys, great job!
M. T.
Absolute Snow have absolutely delighted me with their service. I had an issue when trying to purchase on their website (my end) and lost a discount that should have been applied. I emailed and within hours they had resolved it.
The rest of the communication I had from them was spot on, giving regular updates at key stages.
Prices were good, delivery was at the quick end of the window given, the website was easy to use; the whole process was a pleasure from start to finish.
Just for reference I was buying hiking gear and will be a returning customer and recommending to family and friends.
D. C.
First time using Absolute Snow - great service and products. Kept informed all the way through the order process, item arrived on time and well packaged. Will use again!
T. H.
Ordered skis to be shipped to US. Price was the best even with shipping to the USA. Shipping was quick and, to my surprise, they included nice looking padded ski bag. Great service. Would consider buying from them again.
M. “. B.
Absolute Snow are absolutely brilliant....
I ordered 3 items from the website and I received numerous emails updating me with regards to my order (picking process, packed, dispatched).
Easy to use and helpful, I will definitely use Absolute Snow again.
L. S.
Wow! I'm so impressed with this shop. I received my parcel this morning, just a couple of days after I placed my order, and that's despite 5 inches of snow! I was kept informed every step of the process and I couldn't be happier. I'll have no hesitation in ordering from you again. Thank you so very much. My husband will be delighted on Christmas morning to open his new Beastmaker hangboard. Happy Christmas to all the lovely staff
L. M.
Brilliant customer care. Responded to both questions and price match enquiries within minutes. Ordered a pair of ski pants which arrived to Dublin in two working days (DHL express postage option). Unfortunately I had to pay import duty however I was refunded 20% of the total price from absolute snow for UK vat which reduced the customs charge significantly. Couldn't recommend these guys more!
H. H.
Fantastic company! Very competitive on price. Placed an order on line which was delivered almost exactly 24 hours later. You really cant ask for much more than that. Will be shopping here again.
D. H.
I have experienced good customer service over the years but I'm blown away by the customer service Absolute Snow have. Item came in 2 days, sent 3 emails keeping me up to date with order confirmation, packed and ready to ship.
Would recommend to anyone.
g. j.
I have bought some nice snowboarding gear from Absolute Snow over the last month, and the discount code was applied to even the sale items. They also seemed to have more stock than some other places, so I got what I wanted (Lib-tech, Quiver Killer 159 and White Large Burton Cartels, along with some other bits). The price was better than everywhere else, and the customer care response was under an hour keeping to what they state on their site, and by someone who knew what they were talking about and was actually able to process things, I like them. I will be buying more stuff from them too...
C. G. G.
Absolute Snow dealt with my online order swiftly and efficiently. I was kept well informed at all times by super friendly and helpful staff. The parcel arrived today, earlier than expected. Thank you very much for your good service.
S. W.
Fantastic Customer service. Communication updates went beyond necessary into genuine customer focus. The speed from order to deliver was amazing, less than 24 hours. 2nd time I've used this company & both times they have been excellent products with a service to match. Thanks guys!
O. T.
Amazing customer service. The team are extremely friendly and helpful. I’d returned an item that was too small, tried to order correct size (out of stock) They then called me back to let me know they’d replenished stock levels for the size that I’d require. Really impressive as most companies would just replenish stock and sell it to anyone...
k. m.
Excellent service! Constant updates on packing/shipping progress, fast delivery (even with 2nd class) and perfect delivery condition. Thank you so much. I will be using your company again.
A. M.
Ordered a pair of lowe renegade boots arrived quickly but were too small. Had to reorder size 12,normally 10.5.boots arrived quickly but had to pay £3 to return 1st pair of boots. Other than the charge for returns, a fairly painless ordering process.
f. l.
Marlon was superb help! His customer service went above and beyond to make sure the order went through and was shipped out quickly. Thank you! I will always shop here as my first sporting goods go-to.
R. K.
Brilliant service from start of my order to it being delivered. Email sent at every stage of the order keeping me informed of the progress. My parcel arrived very well packed and safely. I would recomend Absolute-Snow in a heart beat. Excellent service and one very happy customer
B. J.
Absolute snow, absolute legends! We buy all of our snow gear through them they are super helpful and trustworthy. The site is really easy to use to find the best discounts and the customer service is second to none. We recently bought two powder boards, had questions on the sizing, called up and Dominique was super helpful going down to the warehouse to measure the boards for us. No need to go anywhere else for your snowboarding needs. Thanks Absolute Snow!
P. T. G.
Ordered a snowboarding part this week from Absolute Snow, which was the only place I could find it at a discount. It arrived well packed and exactly on time. Great service, thank you!
P. O.
First time buying from Absolute Snow, found them doing a search for the product. Best price, great communication and really quick delivery. Ordered on Wedneday afternoon, picked 1st Class post and reveived on Thursday morning. Brilliant service and would buy from again!
M. B.
Fantastic customer service! I placed a last-minute order for approach shoes, but then discovered from reviews that the shoe in question comes up small. On calling about the order, I learned that I'd also missed the official cut-off for next day delivery. Not only were they able to get the size changed, but worked with the warehouse to make sure it made that day's post and arrived in time for my trip. Without them I'd have struggled with tricky approaches and descents in soft running shoes. So glad I chose Absolute for this order!
J.
I ordered via the website - but the service was so good I wanted to leave a review here. Price was the best that I found anywhere online. Ordered on a Wednesday, was in my hand by Friday! They email you updates throughout, from picking to shipping. I’ve had some issues with other deliveries since Dec 31st, so it was a relief to have this go so smoothly. Will be browsing here first in future!
J. C.
Great staff, very helpful. We had ski boots fitted by Jay and he really was extremely good at his job.
Thank you for your amazing service.
G. B.
Wow! What a brilliant company! The products are really reasonably priced and customer services team are second to none. I cheekily emailed because I forgot to use my 10% off subscription voucher to ask if it could be applied and they did it instantly!
I was kept well informed with the whole ordering and delivery process, via email and also through my account (messages were saved on there automatically for future reference).
The best part was that the coats I ordered were processed and despatched that same day!
Have already recommended to family and friends and will continue to do so.
M. B.
Amazing service! I ordered from them today & I have had constant updates throughout the day, letting me know where my item is up to. Highly recommend and I will definitely be buying from you again some time soon!
D. P.
These guys prove that customer service can be done right. I needed advice on a snowboard, binding and goggles. They took the time to understand my needs and made recommendations that have worked out perfectly. They respond to questions quickly, nothing seems too much trouble Highly recommended.
S. R.
Well done Absolute Snow team. Less than 24 hours to fulfil my order in a busy week before Christmas. Good to see when other sellers are struggling.
Keep it up. Happy trails
J. E.
Ordered a jacket last week, and so impressed with the service. Fantastic communication throughout the whole process, right from an email to say my ordered has been picked through to another to say its been dispatched. Fantastic customer service, lots of personal little touches which really makes you feel valued as a customer. Order arrived really quickly, well packed and is fantastic quality. Would highly recommend.
M. F.
I'd like to thank Marcel for his exceptional customer service, Needed to click and collect a bag for a last minute trip, he went above and beyond to ensure I received my order in a very timely manner. A credit to a great company will definitely continue to shop at Absolute Snow.
m. p.
Paper bag used as parcel. Very clever way reducing its carbon footprint. Keep it up! I wish more companies would do the same. Thank you!
S. L.
I called Absolute Snow this morning for advice on purchasing skis and spoke to Marlon. He was incredibly helpful and professional and guided me through the process to help me choose the right skis at a competitive price.
I'm very grateful to Marlon and so far have been impressed with the service I've received. Many thanks.
J. K.
Needed a pair of decent walking boots delivered to the Outer Hebrides ASAP. Amazon had the pair we wanted, but the earliest delivery was four days away. Tried loads of other places to look for something faster, and then found Absolute Snow - matching Amazon's price - and with the option of Royal Mail Special Delivery on Saturday pre-1pm. Great comms, tracking number clearly sent by 8pm the night before, and boots arrived on North Uist at 11am the next day, delivered to our door. How about that - 3 days faster than Jeff Bezos could manage. First class service, thank you SO much. No more soggy feet on this holiday!
C. A.
Amazing customer service and communication. They answer emails quite promptly and will help you find what you're looking for. I was skeptical about buying a snowboard from them; but they had a very sought after snowboard in stock that was sold out everywhere. Turns out it paid and it was shipped to me hastily. I'm happy I chose to shop with them. Will most definitely continue to do business with them in the future.
Please keep this level of dedication to your customers in the future Absolute-Snow.
Sincerely,
A happy customer.
d. c.
Post placing an order for a jacket, I discovered that I could take advantage of their discount scheme. I emailed them about this and they replied straightaway informing them that they would refund the difference back to my bank account. No hassle, no questions asked just great customer service. Thank you.
D. R.
Nothing negative to say at all. My 1st purchase with this company on line. Great price for my lowe alpine cholatse rucksack. fast delivery, excellent communication through out. I'll be back. Recommended by me.
J. F.
Amazing range of products at great prices. Only downside is theyre totally closed at the moment, which dissapointing if you require services like boot fittings which they pride themselves for. It is annoying especially since how long its been since lockdowns etc. This means that if you order shoes in the wrong size you have to PAY to return them before getting a pair in another size.
But again, great prices and a good price match service. However i sent a price match request but unfortunately theyre closed on the weekends (really?!?!?!) and so by the time they got back to me their product was out of stock.
G.
I'm always a little dubious about placing an order from a new online retailer, especially with a price that seems too good to be true. Reading their reviews gave me confidence to order though, which is why I'm reviewing too. (erm, did that just rhyme?)
Great price on the Snugpak sleeping bag liner (best I could find online) coupled with a really fast and free shipping service made this a pleasant experience all round. Add in the 4 (I believe) status updates along the order trail and it's probably the best online shopping experience I've had in the last year.
100% earned repeat business from me based on this sale. Good to see companies still valuing the customer experience.
E. H.
Great range, great prices and amazing customer service. Every member of staff I spoke to was so friendly and helpful - from placing my order, to technical questions about my bindings. I changed my mind about my skis only 24 hours after making the original order and despite it being a Sunday, they were super fast and efficient at changing things over for me and keeping me posted on progress. When it came to fitting my bindings, their technician was in touch to check my requests and make sure the set up was going to work for me. I cannot recommend Absolute Snow enough!
R. F.
Great customer service, no problems with returns or exchanges, fast delivery, quick refunds and fantastic communication. I have been buying from them since Feb 2018 and decided the Absolute Team deserves at least a little review from me. Thanks Guys! I will be back!
A. A.
Excellent experience. Fast delicery, regular updates and good quality products.
J. B.
First time using this company. Great quality product, excellent communication and quick delivery. They were quick and professional in correcting a delivery error so the product still arrived on time. Would highly recommend.
S. c.
A breath of fresh air!!
Times are hard. I don't expect next day deliveries at the moment but find that a lot of companies hide behind the words "unprecedented times". Not absolute snow! They kept me informed every step of the way. Ordering was easy. The opportunity to amend orders is also a lovely touch. Emailed throughout the picking and dispatching process. Unfortunately had to return something but the returns process was also very efficient. I was informed as soon as the goods were delivered back and a couple of days later I was refunded. Throughout I felt like a customer... not like a hindrance. Thank you Absolute snow team! We would consider you first for customer service peace of mind!
f. w.
Absolute snow are just brilliant. Excellent communications when you order from them .I do like the price match which is very handy and they match alright ,if not much better. Nothing is too much for them when you need help.
I fully recommend them as I have used them a lot and its always been 100% every time . Thanks
B. M.
First time buying snowboarding gear and these guys/gals did a great job setting me up. The website has great information and filters to help decide what to get. Also, being in the States, they were very helpful with getting payments through and super responsive to any issues and emails sent out. More than highly satisfied with my experience.
M. A.
Great service. I ordered a helmet on a Sunday from Absolute Snow. I was a little leery about ordering it from the UK to ship to the US, but there were absolutely no issues. I received confirmation emails every step of the way and received the helmet 2 business days later via DHL. They were great sellers and I will purchase from them again.
D. E.
Just bought a pair of Rossignol ski boots at a great price and they fit great, I will definitely be using them again. delivery was great and they kept me updated, great service and will pop in for any adjustments on the boots when I'm passing which could be dangerous as it will be like a kid in a candy store!!
a. 1.
Delivery was excellent, it's a shame the same can't be said about the product. The so-called thermal Nordisk slippers fell far short of my expectations, my feet are still very cold and I am extremely disappointed - the slippers are a million miles from thermal!
M. M.
My new tent was defective.
Very helpfull hassle free return.
I was offered a full refund or replacement tent.
I opted for a replacement tent, which arrived 2 days later.
If things do go wrong with an internet purchase it's nice to know Absolute Snow will sort the problem out quickly.
Highly recommend from my own experience.

One of the only shops in the UK that sell UK 2 climbing shoes, thank you!!!! Amazing delivery times and wonderful little shoes :). The pic is my old shoes vs the new.

This place is AMAZING! They had a hard-to-find ski boot in my size at an amazing price. I decided to order it, even though they are in the UK and I'm on the west coast of the US. Shipping was surprisingly cheap and INSANELY fast. My boots arrived the NEXT DAY!!! Great value, great service. THANKS!!!
D. H.
Fantastic customer service. Upon ordering, I was kept informed/up-to-date as the status of my order and when it had been shipped.
My order was packed and shipped very swiftly which is all you can ask!
Keep up the great work.
J. G.
Absolutely superb service from start to finish. Communication from this company is first rate and the product arrived quickly and at a very competitive price. They keep you informed every step of the way- brilliant and thank you! I thoroughly recommend them.

The best online shopping experience I’ve ever had!
The guys from the support team are so nice and and helpful (cheers to Jake!). They helped me pick up the correct product size and guided me promptly on the process of refunding VAT (as I’m leaving outside of UK). The item was dispatched on the same day the order was placed and it was with the Bulgarian customs on the next day.
From there, DHL helped me with the clearance - I had to request an EORI number and cover some custom fees (equivalent to the VAT already refunded). Everything was so smooth and easy.
Thank you Absolute Snow Team!! ☺️

Bought a Burton Snowboard Jacket recently, and the service from these guys was AMAZING. Brilliant communication from each stage of process after purchase – emails from staff member at each stage, picking, packing, final check, and dispatch notifications – incredible attention. Delivered next day. Doesn't get any better. 65 stars if it were possible…!

I have shopped with Absolute-Snow quite a few times over the last few years (snowboards and gears) and I can only say they are consistently great.
The quick delivery is a plus but what stands out is their customer service. They always come back pretty quickly, with honest and knowledgeable answers. They sincerely try to understand your need and point of view as a customer.
I like their no non-sense approach, like the fact that you actually have to pay for return. This is not a great cost, but if you expect them to provide the best service at the best price then you have to accept to pay a small fee to return unwanting goods. It is just common sense.
Then their return policy is great and I have total confidence in them.
All in all, they have managed to become a favored shop for me, the same way a local shop could have.
K. H.
The websites functionality is pretty poor and needs improving, however I'm glad I persisted through all of the glitches during the registration and order process to purchase my item.
It is clear to see that this is a company who value good customer service as I was kept informed throughout every step of my order and was quickly reassured following the misgivings of the website.
Would have loved to given 5 stars - I'm sure when the website improves the 5th star will gladly fill that empty space! Thanks guys!
L. K.
Great service! In spite of all of the challenges of covid restrictions and the impact it must be having on staff, the service is great. The emails letting you know what's happening to your order are excellent (and friendly) and they do exactly what they tell you they'll do. I highly recommend them!
T. M.
Amazing customer service. I'd spent ages searching for a specific Buffalo systems jacket and couldn't find it anywhere. These guys had the item and and responded so quickly to my enquiry. Extremely impressed with Absolute Snow. 100% recommend.
C. T.
Excellent customer service! Super nice people!! Not only did they keep us totally in the loop about the tent we wanted whilst purchasing but when we got it home and noticed two rips in the fly they replaced it - so easy and efficient!!! And got it all done the day before our camping trip. I literally can’t say enough good things about them - we will be ordering from Absolute Snow for all our outdoor gear from now on!! Highly recommend!!!!
D. V.
FANTASTIC I cannot praise this company highly enough. On placing my order I was kept informed every step of the way via email advising my order had been received, it was then being picked, then packed, then despatched. It was sent via Royal Mail 2nd class and it arrived in 48hrs, great service all round. Will definitely use this company again.
C. H.
This company is excellent to do business with. They email you every step of the way to let you know what is happening. I ordered some hiking boots which were the wrong size. They sent out another pair and refunded me for the ones i sent back straight away.
A pleasure to order from and will be doing again soon.

Excellent products and fair prices. Good delivery.
And absolutely fantastic customer service! Highly recommend.
Edit. I've ordered from here a couple of times since and I can not fault the customer service team, the best I have ever dealt with. And the items aren't too bad either ;-)
R. G.
Bought a pair of Black Diamond Z poles to help with my recovery from hip surgery. Brilliant product at a fair price. Packed and despatched quickly despite opting for cheapest delivery charge. Top marks!
O. C.
Really great communication in terms of packing and delivery - I knew exactly where my order was in the process in the warehouse and then tracked with the carrier. Some of the packaging was slightly damaged, but this is likely down to the courier, as it seemed every care was taken to protect the goods in transit.
C. S.
Absolutely LOVE my Marmot Long Hauler Travel Bag. The function with the straps doubling up as a back pack system or a very comfortable shoulder strap is superb. The colours are gorgeous and fresh (I have the Peak Blue/Vintage Navy) and the small details with all the zipper pockets make this bag highly versatile and a delight to use. I use it for going swimming in the sea and all the kit I need in the winter fits perfectly into the 38 L bag. So pleased with it, I highly recommend! Best bag of this kind I ever owned. Thank you Marmot and Absolute Snow!
G. S.
Ordered online and really impressed with the product and the customer service. Was a bit concerned delivery was taking a while so contacted Absolute Snow and they got back straight away with a response. Product arrived, excellent.
C. W.
Brilliant service, despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic. Thank you. The only thing I would say is that it would be useful if the Tracking Service gave more detail, i.e. when parcel is out for delivery instead of just advising when it has been delivered. This is definitely not a criticism, just an observation. I will definitely be ordering again from Absolute Snow in the future and will recommend to family and friends.
K. G.
I was hesitant to buy through this company at first as I had read some really negative reviews. But, I gave it a shot and I am really impressed. The communications were clear and transparent for every step of my purchase, and my product arrived quickly and well packaged. Would definitely buy from Absolute Snow again.
T. W.
I rarely post reviews regarding retail outlets but Absolute Snow have been so brilliant that I felt obliged to! Not only are they one of the most reasonable retailers in terms of price, the delivery was straight forward and the updates throughout were appreciated. Returns, again simply and straightforward with no quibbles. Cannot recommend enough and will be returning for more snowboarding gear!
D. F.
These guys are really great. Ziggy from customer care has helped me get my warranty replacements through, I had early bird pre-order discounts on the stuff I had bought and thought I would have to pay extra to get a like for like replacement but they applied the original purchase discount to my replacement kit. Really fair and personal experience, couldn't fault these guys. Word of advice is make sure Absolute Snow emails aren't going to your trash mailbox, they always reply you just may not see them! 10/10 will continue to shop with AS. Cheers!
B. P.
Very impressed with absolute snow! Ordered some Ski gear and the order was picked, processed and dispatched very quickly and arrived within 2 days even with the current Royal Mail delays. I received emails at every stage and felt that this was real customer service which seems to be quite rare nowdays!
Items are perfect, great prices, and I’ll definitely be back. Wish I’d bought my Ski boots here but couldn’t wait until the store reopened.
A. G.
I've bought snowboard and climbing gear from these guys for around about three years now. Never had any problems, so never thought to write a review. Just recently I ordered from them and my parcel never arrived. I contacted them on a Sunday and they managed to message me back the same day and get a replacement sent out really quickly.
I really appreciate their help with it add I've dealt with companies who don't care in the past, so definitely 5* for the customer service!
R. L.
The Absolute Snow team are amazing! They were so helpful in sending my flask out, checking my warranty claim and sending a replacement back with my original. Really responsive and great at communicating with you - definitely recommend and will be buying from these lot again!
BIG thanks to Ziggy and Simon too! :)
S. L.
Propably the best online shop for everything snow on the net!
Key factors:
Great prices, compared to other online shops as well as company sites.
An amazing product range, I was able to find gear that was not available anywhere else.
An extremely well structured account page where you can view and change settings and orders fast and easy.
After ordering the company is making sure that u don’t live in agony! Follow up mails to keep u updated when your shipment is picked, packed and dispatched!
The returns couldn't be more simple, lightning fast refunds.
The staff friendly and ready to assist in any situation!.
I would give 10 stars if I could. Keep up the good work!
J. L.
Very honest and thorough shipping, dispatched on time and good follow up with tracking number. I am buying from the USA and so often purchases out of the country fail miserably. Highly recommended.
E. J.
1st time to shop here (online) and the experience was excellent. Price, communication, speed of delivery and product all exceeded my expectations. Thank you, how online shopping should be. Simple and efficient.
S. S.
Absolutely amazing service from Absolute Snow. Quick to respond to any queries. Incredible help especially from Jay with regards to a certain product. I love their personalised responses regarding any orders.
W. M.
Great stock and prices, very helpful, efficient returns if needed
E. C.
Used this company for the first time to buy some shoes for my son's birthday. He'd left it to the last minute to choose which ones he wanted.
I ordered them and paid a bit extra for quick delivery.
I was updated by email by a named person first when my item was picked, then when it was packed and finally when it was despatched.
I had the shoes in my hands less than 24 hours after I ordered! . Great service!!
Would recommend!
B. L.
Absolutely outstanding customer service! – that’s the short version. If you want the long version read on.
I needed a new head torch and settled on one from a well-respected German brand. An internet search showed that a company called Absolute Snow were offering a very competitive price. I had never heard of them but the reviews were positive so I went ahead.
The torch was despatched same day and arrived two days later as I had chosen free 2nd class delivery. The instructions were just pictograms as seems to be the fad these days – no words to make clear what you need to do. So it took a bit of studying to be sure that I knew what I was doing. But the thing broke when trying to open the battery compartment.
So I filled in an online form on the Absolute Snow’s website. Late that afternoon I had a reply to say that the manufacturer refused to accept it back as it was "user error". Absolute Snow said they would issue a credit note as a goodwill gesture which followed a minute later. They also sent a manufacturer's video showing the features of the torch including how “easy” it is to open the battery compartment. Of course the method they showed was exactly what I had tried to do.
The following day I chose a slightly different model – basically just different colouring and a different model number but the same design and features. Being a different colour, I thought it couldn't be from exactly the same batch as the duff one so I was sure it would be fine. So I placed an order online, applied my credit note and chose free 2nd class delivery. The total order value was the exact value of the credit note. I clicked on Pay Now and got an order number.
I sensed something was not quite right though and I didn't get an email confirmation. I waited the rest of the day, but no emails to say that the order had been sent for picking, packed ready for despatch, or despatched. So the following day I phoned to check on it. It took a few minutes to get through but Dominique noticed quite quickly that the order value matched the credit note value and said – just as I suspected – that the system had thrown a wobbly. So she said she would update the status to "Paid" and it would all go through. She also noticed that I had chosen 2nd class delivery and offered to upgrade it to 1st class FOC.
My new head torch arrived the next morning. To my amazement the battery compartment on the new one was just as difficult to open as the first. I didn't want to risk breaking another so I filled in a form on the Absolute Snow website asking for HELP.
After two hours I had an email from Dominique to say they appreciated how fiddly the battery compartment is to open but "here is a video" of how to do it. Of course, it was the same video so no help at all. I replied back to say that I was sure that I was following the correct procedure as per the video and printed "instructions". I had a very quick response to say that she had spoken to the buyer about how to open the battery compartment and gave some advice but also asked if I could clarify what happens when I try to open it.
So I sent a reply saying that the battery compartment pops open as if by magic in the video but in real life it was very different. Within 40 minutes I had a reply from Dominique “We have had a play with one of ours in stock and it ended up breaking before being able to open the battery compartment.” She was good enough to send me a photo showing the broken bits – I had to laugh.
She apologised for the frustration and inconvenience and said if I returned the defective torch using their free returns process they would send a much higher specified model in return. The replacement arrived just as I was about to take the return to the Post Office.
The stand-out points for me are being able to speak on the phone to a human being about a problem, having it taken seriously enough to try to replicate the problem in the warehouse, the offer of an upgrade, and the very prompt service at all times.
I. A.
Though I had to return the item ( because it didn't fit properly). The customer service was outstanding. The online system is really easy to keep track of all the emails ( you can view the entire chain). I will be back again in the future.
J. F.
Ordered Sunday, received step by step updates during packing etc then order arrived by 10am Tuesday. Brilliant service, great prices. Would recommend
P.
Jacket arrived very quickly. It was, sadly, too small as it was a great price. Customer services throughout, including the return were excellent. This is customer service as it used to be. Pity that they didn't have the next size up.
J. B.
After having to communicate with Absolute Snow via email regarding an online purchase, I was in contact with Jess, I cannot express how helpful, profressional and polite this particular member of staff was, which gives a great representation of the company as a whole.
Some of the best prices I've seen around, the processing and shipping were very prompt.
Would definitely recommend.
A. B.
Fantastic experience! I found the board I'd been hunting, for a great price; it arrived here in NYC in less than 48 hours, carefully packed and in perfect shape. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Thanks from Brooklyn!
C. H.
First time purchasing from absolute snow, They were great the service was amazing as I had bought the wrong size and they were very fast swapping the sizes for me. Highly recommended if you need any kit for skiing or snowboarding.
R. R.
Superb range of quality items with competitive pricing. I was kept informed of my purchase from picking to departing their premises. Absolutely delighted with service! I'll definitely return!
M. W.
Purchased a pair of Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z trekking poles, great piece of kit for a fantastic price which was far lower than anywhere else u could find.
Emails from the company advising the order completion and confirmation when they had been sent out had a great personal touch, which on reflection makes you think "why dont other companies do this?".
Will definitely be the first place I look next time I need any trail running kit. Very impressed.
Cheers Absolute Snow team!
S. G.
I love this shop. I've only shopped online because Watford is much too far away from me, but the service has been excellent. I had to return something, which was also easy. Shipping is crazy fast and they are excellent at keeping you updated on your order.
C. L.
Fantastic service. I found the item I wanted at Absolute Snow for a great price, the lowest I'd seen actually, and it turned up quickly and with excellent communication throughout the order. I'm very impressed with the whole service, thank you
G. M. G.
Absolutely hands down the best customer service I’ve ever had. The deposit scheme they have is such an awesome idea, and the sheer volume of detail I got from the team once I’d placed my order was incredible. Will definitely be using these guys again. Thanks!
R. R.
Good communication at each stage of the process ('picking in progress', 'parcel has been packed' and 'order despatched') and fast delivery. Only one suggested improvement - I didn't receive an email confirming the details of my order, and I had a moment of wondering whether I'd ordered the correct size. Receiving automatic confirmation of the order (including details of the item ordered and the size, as opposed to just the order number) would be helpful. Otherwise though, a great experience and I would not hesitate to order from this website again.
N. C.
Great quality products at great prices and the most efficient delivery notifications I've ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend this company to others and will be visiting here first for my next purchase, before trying any other websites.
P. R.
Ordered a pair of Lowa boots on the Friday and they arrived on the monday. Unfortunately, they were a little too small and no larger size was available so I returned for a refund using their Royal Mail system, which was pretty painless.
Returned them on the tuesday and had confirmation before the weekend.
Shame the boots didn't work out but can't fault the price or the service. Will happily use again.
(This was a UK order. review also posted on trustpilot)
S. W.
Ordered some On Running shoes. Great communications and customer service. Will be using team Absolute-snow again.
M. F.
Ordered 2pm Thursday and had it delivered by 3pm the next day, super service! Was updated throughout the afternoon which I thought was excellent.
Highly recommend 👍
J. S.
From Australia and love this online shop. It's affordable, great products and the postage to Australia is affordable and fast. The sale items are super cheap! The customer service is great - I've had fast responses when I've asked questions (considering the time zone difference), and I'm kept up to date on the status of my order.
All items I've purchased (and that includes a jacket, goggles, thermals, socks and many others) have been genuine and great quality. I've never had a regretful purchase to date.
J. N.
Awesome service! Took the Initiative to remind me of my item in my shopping cart even after I have left the page, I explained to them that I had some problems with the online payment and thus left the page, they offered me many other options for payment and assisted me in completing the purchase. I thought it would end there and I will just have to wait endlessly for my item to arrive, however, they kept me informed of the progress of the packing, double checking and control, sending my package for shipping, which assured my purchase is well taken care of. Extremely fast and prompt delivery! I highly recommend this to everyone and I will definitely purchase from them again! Thank you The Absolute Team!
T. S.
just wanted to say thank you for all the help and great service you guys provide, I’ve bought a few items this year a couple of which I’ve had to send back because they didn’t fit etc, But each time the delivery and return process has been hassle free and really slick. given the circumstances we are all faced with at the moment, it’s a pretty damn good service you guys offer 👍
D. M.
This is hands down the best experience I've ever had buying shoes online. Communication was excellent, the shoes are amazing and they arrived two days after Boxing Day a full 2 and a half hours before the start of the estimated delivery window.
C. R.
Always a positive experience when I order from Absolute Snow.
The delivery speed has been borderline mind-blowing, and fair prices for legit equipment.
E.
Superb customer service! Prompt communication and resolution of returns / warranty claims; friendly staff who do their utmost. Very competitively priced products so always worth checking out before completing a purchase elsewhere. I have shopped (online) at Absolute-Snow for years and have never been disappointed.
E. P.
Found the product (Cocoon sleeping bag liner) through google shopping search. The price was great, and once on their website it was easy to use and with loads of delivery options. The correct product I order turned up to my door within 36hours and I recieved plenty of regular email updates (all well written) regarding the progress of the order. Very slick and cut above the rest. Happy and would recommend.
S. N.
I great company to deal with they are helpful and very responsive through their email portal. They give a very personalised experience letting you know each stage of dispatch and everything is tracked. The product arrived in good condition.
B. R.
Very efficient and quick service. I was kept informed of every part of the process from ordering to picking to dispatching. Very impressed with the service. Item arrived promptly and was in perfect condition. I will definitely use this company again. 🙂
D. E.
Never used Absolute-Snow before but I definitely will again. Cracking service and excellent communication. As others have said you get email communication for every part of your order so you know exactly what's going on and it showed up well ahead of estimated delivery.
A. R.
Have ordered from Absolute Snow a couple of times and was very happy both times. A great selection of outdoor gear at competitive prices with speedy dispatch, will gladly use again.
P. J.
Purchased a pair of vans for an incredible price. Customer service was excellent. I was kept fully updated on the progress of my order. I also recieved my order within 2 days of ordering which i think is fsntastic. Will definitely use this company again. Well done and keep up the good work.
J. R.
Amazing service, I bought a number of items and received them next day. I also ordered and incorrect item that wasn’t compatible and they resolved the return immediately also.
Will definitely continue to use them
H. D.
I bought from them online. Absolutely brilliant. Their customer services is second to none, answered all of my questions with great accuracy. Talked me through every step and kept me updated with my orders progress. The price is excellent as well. Couldn’t find my goggles cheaper anywhere else. Would definitely buy from them again and would strongly recommend for anyone looking for good quality snow gear but at a lower price, and for anyone who has any questions about any product.
J. E.
Outstanding service.
I had a big wishlist and Absolute Snow already had most of it on their website. They price matched a few items for me ensuring I was getting the best deal going which is just brilliant.
I messaged them directly about an item that they (and nobody else in the UK) was stocking, they went away to their supplier and managed to source it for me which was just incredible, they truly went the extra mile for me and I'm so thankful for it.
We exchanged lots of messages and it was great to be talking to the people I know I'd talk to if I popped into the store.
Will use again and recommend to everyone.
M. K.
I absolutely love this place. Great stuff at great prices and amazing customer service! I'd bought a pair of climbing trousers but failed to enter a discount code that I had. I thought the box for it would be on the payment page and when it wasn't I went ahead with my purchase anyway. I emailed them about it and they refunded me the discount. I seriously wasn't expecting that. It was so nice of them. Some of the best customer service I have ever encountered.
B. C.
Hands down the best customer service I have experienced when purchasing goods online. Fantastic personal messaging system with regular updates from incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Really fast shipping. I even had a free ski bag and stickers thrown in!
m. c.
They had what I wanted which was less expensive than the brand name website....not keen on the second class post which dosen't give you a tracking number prior to recieving said goods
b.
Superb in every aspect, polite and helpful customer services. Knowledgeable staff regarding all products. Quick to resolve any issues even at their own cost to be helpful.
IMHO, you would be mad to shop anywhere else, I say that as an honest and genuine shopper.
And I also get a birthday discount code with no conditions every year for the last 20+ Ive been a customer, and since the first time i shopped Ive been no where else, genuinely!
Bloody brilliant all the way
S. D.
Placed an order on Wednesday for next day delivery. I have to say, great range of quality products, with a nice variation on price. Order process was great and I like the personal touch on the emails that are sent post order. As someone who’s works in E-commerce, thoroughly impressed. Will always go here first in future!
M. B.
I don't typically leave reviews (for anything), but I felt my experience with Absolute Snow warranted a glowing comment from me this time. I placed my order during the busy Christmas holiday and Absolute Snow frequently kept me up to date on the status even during after-hours. Once the business re-opened after the holiday the experience only improved, with a face and name to each successive message from them. To round out the stellar process, I received my package in just two days. Which by the way was an International delivery to the United States. I was expecting the shipment to take at least 4-5 business days. Nope, much faster than expected. Lastly, the pricing was incredibly competitive making the whole experience all the more worthwhile. I will be returning for many more future purchases. Well done!
A. A.
Really very impressed with the level of service and speed of delivery from Absolute Snow. After placing the order I was kept informed all the way from the order being accepted, then the item picked at warehouse, then it being packed and prepared for dispatch — and then another email to let me know it had been sent, along with a tracking number and expected delivery date etc. I really felt like they were genuinely taking all efforts to update me until the item arrived at my home.
The item duly arrived, quicker than I might have thought when placing the order. It was well packaged and I am extremely pleased with the whole transaction.
Based on my experience of Absolute Snow I would not hesitate in recommending them, and will certainly make future purchases.
Thanks to all at Absolute Snow!

Review of absolute-snow.co.uk
I have just bought a pair of goggles from absolute-snow and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
It started with browsing the well presented and very comprehensive website. They currently have hundreds of different goggles but their website filtering made it possible to find what I was looking for. I had specific requirements for lens tint depth and colour, interchangeable lenses and fitting over prescription glasses.
Once I had found what seemed to be suitable, I used their on-line messaging feature to ask a real human for some further details and they made some measurements and sent me photos of the relevant views of the goggles with a tape measure.
The website clearly describes the delivery options and costs and they kept me informed by email through the despatch process, which was very fast. The goggles were sent out on the day I placed the order, arrived the day after and were exactly as described.
The company sell other products relating to hiking and climbing as well as snow sports. I would be more than happy to buy from them again.
B. P.
Great products and prices, amazing service! I've made few purchases for my upcoming thru hike and the one return I made was dealt with with impressive speed! Can't fault the company and definitely recommend
R. T.
Everything is great! Original product, competitive price, really fast service and delivery. I have even got a baseball hat as a bonus! :)
Thank you, guys!
M. D.
This is a company that knows top tier customer service from start to finish.
I placed an order, received my goods quickly and in packaging that was very professional.
A great start yes but a lot of companies are great at taking your money aren't they?
Turns out I had placed 2 x orders in error as I was having a few technical issues.
These guys responded as quickly to my email request for a refund and giving the refund as they did taking money initially so hats off to them.
I'm impressed with the very reasonably priced footwear I received and have recommended them to a couple of mates already who wear shoes like DC shoes, Vans, Reef, Globe etc.
Like Arnie said "I'll be back"
A. K.
Shopping with Absolute Snow has been an absolute pleasure from day 1. I first found their store after extensive searches for decent snowboard equipment and found great gear at unbelievably good prices. After that I've kept coming back, not only for their wide range of products in other areas of outdoor activity, but also for their customer service which has been second to none. I recently experienced a manufacturers fault with a shoe, which in this case the manufacturer did not agree that it was on them. Without going into all the details, Absolute Snow stepped in and more than compensated for the problem! I'll keep coming back.
M. C.
Booked a boot fitting and made the trip from London to go into the store and try some pairs on. The staff were super helpful and gave some great, reassuring advice..even scored a discount on a pre-order for a new-season colour. Awesome customer service - can't recommend these guys enough! Definitely won yourselves a long-term customer :)
B. C.
Absolute Snow have their service and process locked down. Have bought quite a few things from them in the past and they've never failed to deliver exactly the right items, exactly as advertised. Cracking outfit to deal with and leave a lot of others in the dust. Thanks to all the team!!
S. M.
I was in the market for a new hiking tent and trekking poles. I came across this company when looking for the best prices on the internet. I found the prices really good, good range of products and my order was received in only a few days. Excellent service and was kept upto date with the order. Excellent customer service, would recommend.
O. &. C. D. T.
Made many online orders with Absolute Snow and they just keep getting better and better. The best customer service I have ever had online with great communication on order status and THE go to place for all things snow related. Fantastic selection of kit from most major brands. Best in the UK! Can't recommend enough!!!! You won't be disappointed.
E.
Amazing site. I've bought the vast majority of my snow and snowboard gear here for both my previous and upcoming ski seasons, from my snowboard and bindings, to salopettes, googles and gloves, as well as hats and clothes, etc.
The service is phenomenal - they're always very happy to help with any issues or questions you may have, and more importantly they can give you great advice if you are stuck with what to choose or to help you clarify a product before buying.
On the rare occasion I've returned something because I ordered the wrong size, it has been quick and easy.
The quality is great, and they even offer a price match service.
Can't recommend highly enough.
C. M.
The best ski shop!
The service is great, with very quick response to messages.
Had a small issue with my latest order (Not Absolute Snow's fault), but thanks to the great CS employees it was solved very quick, and with a perfect solution.
Thanks again!
Would recommend Absolute Snow to anyone!
e. d.
Really helpful and answered my emails quick. I missed the delivery, but they were able to get my item resent at a time to suit me, really well done :)
M. J.
A couple of months ago I made my first purchase from Absolute Snow. It has now become my go to retailer for all my new wild camping gear. Everything I have bought has been competitively priced and the goods have arrived quickly and well packed.
Highly recommended.
S. M.
I was after a particular rucksack which was out of stock everywhere except here. As with a previous order, it arrived promptly with excellent progress emails from the Customer Service team. Excellent.
C. D. H.
Excellent all round service!
My first binding purchase, as a present, for my wife... so had quite a few questions. The team (my contact was a lovely lady, Joanna) clearly have bucket loads of knowledge on the products, but also first hand experience using them. Made it so much easier to find the perfect combination for my requirements. The turnaround times on emails were short (I think they quote within the hour) - so had some fun bouncing around ideas on best fit/colour/performance.
Will definitely be coming back for future purchases.
E. S.
I have ordered twice from this website and both times my items have come in the quickest time!! I paid for my skis in two instalments and once I had paid the full amount (on a Weekend) they were with me two days later on the Tuesday! Bindings fitted and everything! I will definitely be using this website again in the future and would highly recommend anyone else to use it! Brilliant service and products!

What a fantastic service!
I ordered this item (ski poles) yesterday at 1130; chose the free 4/5 days delivery and they arrived at 0900 this morning....21.5hrs!!! And we live in deepest Somerset in a tiny hamlet!!!
The poles were carefully wrapped and arrived in perfect condition.
Thank you very much Absolute Snow. I'll definitely buy from you in the future.
Outstanding service!

Have just returned from an onsite boot fit for my first pair of ski boots. Cannot recommend Chelsea, Alex and the team highly enough. I had truly excellent service, from very knowledgeable and capable team who clearly have a passion for doing the job right. I definitely felt like the customer was put first and I was looked after every step of the way.
The process was booked in for 3 hours but even though we were running over, they didn't rush me at any point and critically I left with the right product, keenly looking forward to my trip abroad. As a further step, Chelsea even advised me on the things I'd bought before attending the shop online and saved me ~£60 in unnecessary purchases!
Very pleased with the outcome and will be recommending Absolute wholeheartedly everyone in the market. Thanks guys!

Five stars for great customer service. Ordered shoes on Friday, received on Monday. Received regular updates on Friday as order was picked, packed and despatched.

About the store itself, they're huge, have an awesome selection of diversified products, and really competitive prices. This perfect combination is what makes them outstanding.
Customer service is responsive and constantly updating your order status so we're never outdated.
Shipping outside UK is lightning fast via DHL.
I recommend without restrictions.
C. J.
Great service. I bought my bindings from their website. They came with an unthreaded bolt. I contacted them via e-mail and they sent a replacement special delivery. As this wasn't their fault the aftercare provided is rare to see. I previously contacted the manufacturer and they didn't want to send me a replacement. Keep up the good work.
R. H.
Held climbing shoes in sizes that are difficult to source elsewhere.
Kept well up to date with their picking process/dispatch.
Shoes arrived within 24hours of being posted which was an unexpected surprise.
10/10 recommend

This has to be the best online company I have dealt with for sometime. Their progress communication on the status of orders is first class; the quality and price of goods matches their service. I am thrilled I found them just in time for Christmas gifts. I won't hesitate to order again and have already told friends and family about Absolute Snow. Well Done Guys, you've nailed it.

Been coming here for years for all my snowboard related equipment. Fantastic service, prices. Wouldn't really consider going anywhere else to be honest. Its an online shop so if you want to come in and try gear on you have to book a slot. Otherwise treat like any other online retailer, buy online, if not happy or want to change, do a return and re order.
J. P. (.
Outstanding online shop. Excellent customer service and communications - kept informed of every step of my order, from payment, through picking, through packing to posting. All email queries were answered within an hour. Absolute Snow is now my goto online outdoor shop.
S.
Fabulous service, would definitely buy from them again. Product well priced and received next day having just paid for first class post. Emails updating me on my order had a lovely personal touch. All in all a great compan:-)
d. W.
Really great communication and customer service, from the first reply after ordering online to the refund that I unfortunately needed due to the goods not fitting me. Will definitely use again.
P. L.
Excellent customer service - As someone buying their first board with no real knowledge of what to get I received very prompt and comprehensive assistance in response to all of my emails. I was given a lot of insight into which boards and bindings I should look at, as well as helpful recommendations on boots and specific bags too. All of the equipment arrived in 2 working days as ordered. Would definitely endorse these guys.
s. s.
First time I've used this online shopping site, and to be honest I can't whinge about anything. The, order process good, communication throughout. Good, delivery time (got the gear the next day) and the product was as expected. Certainly be using this site again and would recommend to my colleagues and friends.

Just had a set of K2 boots fitted at absolute snow. Best service I have received at any ski shop great experience. Went into purchase rossis but was advised the k2 would fit better and how right they were. Chelsea was superb and really knew her stuff. Cannot recommend enough. If you are lucky enough to have Chelsea serve you she is a credit to the store. Thanks again

Absolute Snow is brilliant! Excellent choice of products at unbeatable prices & amazingly fast, free delivery. (Mine was delivered in a day - less than the stated time of within 3 days). And I was kept informed at all stages of how the order/delivery are progressing. Well done!
J. W.
Great service. Ordered easily, kept up to date with the order status via email and delivered quickly.
J. S.
I've bought online twice now with delivery to Bulgaria and everything has arrived a few days earlier than expected, all nicely packaged to make sure there are no issues while en route.
Awesome work folks, great service and the best prices I've been able to find anywhere.
M. S.
outstanding customer service. I had to change my order a few times and they were very helpful and very quick to reply to emails. In the end I had to return the products (pair of skis and bindings) for a refund which was very quick and easy. will definitely use again in future.
P. P.
Great shop, very good value and fantastic custom ski boot fitting service from Alex.R. Only lost one start because making an appointment was pure hell last winter. You have to make the appointment using online chat but when they offer an appointment and you accept it takes them so long to respond the appointments offered have been booked! Once Alex R. took over the chat that was sorted.
L. Y. H.
I wanted to support a UK based retailer and they price matched a European based outfit without hesitation and within 15 minutes. Great telephone support too. Plus, boots arrived next day and exactly as described/advised on the phone. Very happy.
M. G.
Brilliant customer service!
I ordered some rock climbing shoes, they kept me informed on my orders delivery status throughout.
Very friendly staff and its the best prices I have found for climbing gear. 10/10

Have made two purchases recently with Absolute Snow and they have been first class in their in every aspect of their delivery including customer service, online functionality, and communication. I made my initial purchase online for home delivery. The fit of one of the products wasn't right. As I was in the area I popped into the store and I would recommend if you can you visit. You can try on as many items as you need to from the website straight away in store to ensure you get the right item. This combine with a huge selection makes them hard to beat. The staff are all very friendly and incredibly fast and efficient in store and online. Can't recommend them enough.
R. K.
I just received my Burton’s Felix Step-on! Excellent customer service, with excellent packing and speedy shipping!!!
T. K.
Brought a great pair of technical hiking boots at a very reasonable price. Quick and efficient delivery. I've been buying from Absolute Snow for several years now and always had a good experience. Thanks Absolute Snow!!
C. V.
Can’t fault this company at all, even though I returned the items they have been fantastic with communication and overall customer service. Highly recommend.
A. I.
Very good stock prices and customer support!
Some items especially from previous seasons might not come in the factory sealed packaging, which does not however compromise the quality and should not scary off.
Website would benefit in speeding up some of the page load to improve general customer experience and conversion. but again, I'm glad I did not turn away on my first visit.
Very satisfied otherwise, shop with them each season.
E.
I just wanted to say what a FANTASTIC company you are. I found you by accident when looking for some snowboard gear and think the emails you send informing me of my order, delivery status and replies when I wanted a price check are lovely and feel very personal. I also know I am getting the best price so won't have to look around..and free delivery! Superb!! I will definitely recommend you to everyone and will be buying lots more from you in the future. Have a fabulous Xmas from a very happy customer.
O. H.
Had a genuinely fantastic experience today trying climbing shoes for myself and my girlfriend. There was no time pressure, no pressure to purchase, a huge selection of kit, and online prices! our rep (annoyingly I can’t remember his name) was very knowledgable, genuinely passionate about the gear and there was none of the (incorrect) stigma around having to downsize climbing shoes to be uncomfortable. We narrowed the choice to two shoes one pair £73 and one £116... the rep had no bias towards the more expensive shoe and was only interested in ensuring we had the best fitting shoe. Very impressed! If outdoor shops don’t operate like this then they need to!
T.
Good prices and fast shipping to Sweden. Although it took some time to get the refund, due to that they were really busy, and I had a hard time getting in touch with their customer service, which was also due to a busy period in januari, it's a good place to buy your gear. Just have in mind that during some months they're extremely busy, and therefore unable to answer emails and process returns very fast.
R.
Bought a pair of hiking pants online and was sent several personalised updates via email. And they arrived less than two days later which was much faster than I expected. Superb customer service and highly recommended.
e.
Excellent service and advice from Daniel who helped me buy a pair of boots.
It is not a traditional shop but a cyber shop front (like Argos but much more personal). Find what you'd like at a computer terminal and then the goods are brought to you from the warehouse to try on in a relaxed and no sales pressure atmosphere.
I went on a weekday and there was ample visitor parking. There is also customer WiFi if you need it.
Would definitely recommend!
S. “. M.
Awesome, chilled guys in the shop. Really quick service and very helpful.
Love the system.
We need to to understand that this is a very specialist shop and their online service is a bonus. The whole point of buying ski/snowboard gear is that you get professional help on measurements and fittings, so the best thing a customer can do is use the physical shop to their advantage and visit it, rather than relying on the online postage to be perfect 100% of the time.
Every time I visit the shop in Hemel, it's busy with customers and the staff are always on their feet trying to give advice and knowledge.
So thank you for your excellent service, Absolute Snow!

I had a ski boot fitting appointment with ski boot fitting expert Jay. Jay was super patient and professional. It was not until this appointment that I found out I had been given 1 size larger at the rental shops, and I never buckled my boots right (thus giving me numb feet all the time). Jay’s recommendation was based on several measures of my feet and my ability now and future, so that the boots will suit me for not just 1 or 2 years. I also learnt a lot of interesting things about ski boots as well. Overall it was a great shopping experience, I finally found the right boots!
A. S.
Definitely the best online retailer for snow gear!!!!! Can't recommend it enough! Stocks all the top end brands for amazing prices! Incredible delivery and refunds speed within 2-3 days! Any problems or queries you have- they will sort it out for you!! I had a lot of problems deciding which snowboard pants to get for this season- ordered 4-5 pairs all in separate orders when sizing and style wasn't quite right for me. They were extremely assistive, kept in contact with me all the time regarding updates from suppliers, dispatch, deliveries and returns. They even contacted suppliers to order another size I needed that was out of stock in their store when they could have just said that there was nothing they could do about it. Amazing service. Thank you to all of the staff at Absolute Snow!
J. R.
I needed a pair of walking socks that were thin enough for summer use but still provided padding in the right places while on our 7 mile daily walks. Absolute Snow couldn't have been more helpful, a great range of socks, easy to order web site and communication second to non. I cannot fault them. The socks arrived more quickly than expected and are perfect for the job. Thank you so much
M. V. D.
A truly excellent service. I've ordered three times from them so far and found their communication and despatch times to be top notch. Their prices usually beat all others (sometimes by a quite a lot) and they have a good varied stock from all the best companies. Highly recommended.
J. F.
These guys hold a huge range of items and provide a great service. Ive bought around a dozen times from them. They were ace when i had to return items and sorted things easily, I checked out their price match on a set of boots and they came up trumps really quickly. To top it off they always deliver in rapid time. Highly recommended.
A. J.
I purchased a Lobster Park Board from their online store using the staged payment system. 20% deposit reserved at the price that day (Black Friday knocked even more off it). They have been in touch with each payment and to clarify the order details and delivery information. Would highly recommend them to anyone! Everything you'd want from an online store and more. Thanks again!
M. C.
Ordered a jacket online and got regular email updates from members of the staff team confirming they were dealing with my order, when it had been packed and when it had been despatched. First class Royal Mail delivery came next day. No problems.
E. C.
Brilliant service. Bought my skis and poles on the web. I was updated by the shop as to when they were being packaged and sent out which was extremely quick, and they arrived 2 working days later in a ski bag.
Highly recommended!
R. E.
What a superb company! I ordered some ski braces and they were despatched the same day, following three emails giving me updates, in a lovely friendly way. Keen to use them again!
L. Q.
I ordered 4 items from Absolute Snow this morning and have to say the experience has been 1st class. I have received detailed emails at each stage so far (purchase confirmation, update email after selection of items by warehouse staff, second confirmation of items selected at packaging stage by a separate member of staff and finally a confirmation of pickup by UK Post with tracking number provided). Assuming the delivery arrives tomorrow as expected this will have been by far the best and most transparent online order I've ever purchased. It's not often you can say this but Amazon could learn a thing or two.
M. W.
Fantastic online service! Completely thrilled with my skis order from Absolute Snow! Order was dispatched within 1 day and arrived all the way in Taiwan within 5 days at a reasonable shipping cost! Will definitely order from here again and again! Thanks so much!
S. B.
Absolutely A* service. The first time I have ever received an email telling me that it was being picked, that it had been packed and checked, and that it had been sent. All within a few hours and the difference was that all of the emails had someone name on them telling you that they were doing it. Ok it may be automated (or maybe not) but it really gives you that feel of personal attention. I will definitely use them again.
C. J.
I've recently made 3 purchases from Absolute Snow. Their prices are the best I've found. Communication and customer service have been excellent. The messaging service on their website works really well.
K. K.
Hands down the best online snow gear shop in Europe! I was facing some difficulties with the credit card payment(I live in Greece and the credit card was denied due to the capital controls) and they kept my things for a week until it was resolved! They were very helpful with everything, and their email response time was amazing(1-2 hours to reply). Their staff is exceptional, every question I asked regarding their products was completely answered.
Amazing staff, amazing prices, great website, very fast delivery what else can I say? Best snow gear shop ever!!!
L. M.
Perfect item dispatched faster than Usain Bolt ⚡

Ordered a Dalkine Boundary ski bag. Picked it up in person as I work nearby. On getting home found some internal extra items missing. Emailed and picked up replacement next morning.
First, if this had been handled through post it would have been a right royal pain. As it was it took about half an hour from my day. Second, I got a specific email to say my order had been fully checked where clearly it hadn't. In fact I received many emails. They should put more effort into making the order correct than filling up my Inbox.
Having said that, they did give me a replacement quickly, and I guess stuff happens sometimes. Will I use them again? Like everything, I guess it will depend on price.
V. R.
Very competitive pricing, good clear website including stock availability information. Was given the option of adding to order (quickly) after the sale for no extra carriage cost. Was promised First Class post and items arrived safely the next day. Really pleased, excellent service and will be a regular customer now. Thanks!
c. s.
An absolutely first class customer experience. The service I received was second to none. My requests were responded to and I was left feeling like the staff at Absolute Snow (Ziggy in particular) really went above and beyond. What an awesome company. Thanks guys!
V. B.
👌🏽 I’m yet to find a better ski and board shop (and I’ve been buying kit since 198.... urgh I feel old)
The site alone being as simplistic as it is informative shows the level of investment these guys put in to their prospective customers. The after sales is equally as impressive!
d. l.
Chuffed to bits. With go outdoors couldn't get my size (UK10) in Lowa Renegade GTX. There are delivery fees, but the with Parcelforce next day(£7) the boots were still cheaper than most places. They give good email updates,the boots were dispatched promptly and arrived next day. Can wait to take these onto the fells!
R. B.
I don't often leave reviews but I have to say I was hugely impressed with the Absolute Snow experience.
I was unable to get to the store but got some advice from the team on the phone and ordered a few different snowboard boots.
Having settled on one pair of those, the returns process couldn't have been easier and communication throughout was fast and clear.
Would definitely shop here again.
S. S.
Great service from the moment my order was placed, kept up to date on the process of my order, from picking, packing to dispatch, ordered Saturday evening and here on Tuesday morning so speedy delivery, the item itself looks even better than viewed online, definitely don’t regret giving these guys a go.
H. Y. N.
I was looking for a pair of skies and found Absolute Snow through Google. The website is easy to use, great product information and review. Most importantly, the value on offer and services are amazing. It took only two business days for the skies and bags to deliver from the UK to NZ. In addition, I was kept informed of where the goods were throughout the delivery journey. Great value, range of product and great services. Highly recommended.
A. M.
Very easy ordering and although not advertised, they helpfully facilitated my use of PayPal. The item was dispatched promptly with the best set of email communications I've ever seen from a vendor to update me on the progress of my order. The item didn't fit so I returned it and recieved a refund the day they received the item. The return process was straightforward. I will have no hesitation in using them again.
K. M.
Quality selection of well priced gear. Dispatch information and contact from the team is awesome. Very happy with the service, delivery options and discounted price. Will certainly check them out for more purchases .
T. C.
Simply exceptional customer service.
The low price good value speaks for itself but between the price match and the near instant message feedback to technical & trivial questions makes this company standout.
Fantastic delivery speed too.

I recently purchased a par of Nike SB solar skate shoes. I have to admit I was abit nervous about purchasing the trainers from absolute-snow as I had never heard of the company before and because of the decent competitive price of the trainers. But after reading some reviews I decided to gamble and buy the trainers.
The service I have received has been the best service I have ever used online. Every single stage I was emailed and updated about my order for reassurance, not just by generic emails but by real people. I also opted to go for the free postal service (being a poor student), which explained that it could be upto 7 working days, however I was in shock when the item turned up a couple of days later on my doorstep.
The whole service I have received has felt personal and was outstanding. I don't usually write reviews but really felt they deserved the recognition on how good the absolute-snow service is. I will definetely be recommending absolute-snow website to my friends and family and be ordering again from them in the future.
Thanks again
Jay
S. F.
Great service provided. The product was supplied quickly and at a really competitive price. I will definitely purchase goods from Absolute Snow again. I bought a new Giro ski helmet at a much lower price than elsewhere and Absolute Snow were excellent to deal with throughout the process.
T. “.
Fantastic customer service, quick response to email enquiries and a great price match promise. From the point of order I received regular email updates on my order progress, right to the point of despatch. Really can't fault the service until now - now it's over to Parcelforce! I wouldn't hesitate to shop here again, and would highly recommend.
D. V.
Quick and helpful customer service.
Good international shipping rates and speed of delivery.
VAT refund for non-EU customers.
High quality products and the best - deposit feature!
Till now first order but sure not the last one!
D. G.
I have recently ordered a few items and the service has been brilliant - easy to use website, great prices, lots of updates on my order and speedy delivery! One of the best shopping experiences I have had in a while, really cannot fault these guys.
D. W.
Man, this online shop is amazing!
Order was qualified for further discount, and I input the wrong code. Email them and ask for re-credit, and everything was done in lightening fast manner! All staff are friendly and top-notch in every aspect.
Not to mention the great price it offers, which is even cheaper than those big-name fellow website in US like exo.com, backxxxxtry.com.
As for the packaging, I order a snowboard and when it arrived, I found their staff put the board inside their own brand board bag (should be cost around US$30-50 worth of a heavy duty board bag (not wheelies, but hack, it's not a cheap cost for them)!!! So well protected which exceed my expectation, again, in all aspects!!!
I will most definitely recommend for everyone!!! OMG OMG OMG, thank you Absolute Snow!!!
R.
Not one to usually write reviews, but I felt that Abolute Snow had well deserved a 5 star rating and a minute of my time to share with you all my experience.
My sale jacket arrived in a timely manner and was just as expected etc..., but I don't think I have ever had the same level of after care service. I received "personal" emails all the way through my order from Absolute Snow's staff advising that my jacket was placed, my order's checked, packed, then finally dispatched with tracking. I can't comment on their service for returning items, but if it's anything like the after care service I received for my humble order, then I think you will be extremely satisfied and will have to look pretty hard to find other sites that will match this service/experience.
Well-done staff at Absolute Snow and thank you very much for making this a memorable order!
l. A.
Bought a Petzl headlamp from Absolute Snow and can report a good service. Item arrived well packaged in the time stated. The Petzl Tactikka light at 300 lumens is fantastic. I can thoroughly reccommend both the company and the product.
A. S.
Don't bother looking elsewhere for your snowboarding kit, Absolute have got it sorted. Always super helpful staff, affordable prices and always delivered on time. Love your work Absolute Snow
L. A.
Would use again! Found by accident while looking for a particular skate shoe. Communication excellent. Got e mails at every step, from order confirmation to picking and then despatch! No cost for second class delivery making the shoes £5 cheaper than other stores. And they came within two working days of ordering them which was brilliant! Can't fault the service at all, and really pleased with shoes.
b.
Recently bought a helmet and, subsequently (in a separate order), some TNF Base Camp duffels from Absolute Snow. I had queries about both orders - related to whether my goods would be the latest versions. Service attitude and care that my query was properly addressed was beyond reproach - even with multiple phone calls they made sure my enquiry was dealt with properly. At no point did I feel that they wanted to "palm me off".
They offered - and made it very easy for me to combine my orders by putting the first one on "hold". This saved me money on shipping. As others have noted here - plenty of updates at every stage of processing the order. This may not appeal to some, but I personally like it - usually having put online orders off until I need them urgently... so updates about order status are great!
Goods arrived quickly via DHL (to Hong Kong).
Have already recommended Absolute Snow to others and will continue to do so.
G. R.
Great selection, prices and service. I had not heard of this company before but found it through a Google search for snowboard boots. The prices were much more competitive than the other UK ski websites I looked at. Ordering was easy and delivery was faster than I expected.
L. T.
First time shopper with absolute snow. Their prices were really competitive and the order was shipped and arrived really quickly! I really liked the friendly, personalised update messages on the status of my order too so you know exactly what stage it was at. Would definately recommend!
D. J.
I bought a snowboard from Absolute Snow and had it shipped to the US. Snowboard arrived within 10 days of the purchase, quicker than I expected. Purchase as well as last minute changes were done to the order, all via email. From order placement to delivery nothing could have gone smoother.
Their Customer Service team rocks! All responses to my queries were quick and to the point. Great price on a premium product and great service to boot. Will buy from these guys again without hesitation.
L. G.
10 out of 10! Super speedy delivery, excellent choice of products at great prices. I have literally bought everything from snowboard to clothing from here. And best of all is the excellent customer service. Really helped me out with a boot sizing query and returns procedure is nice and simple. In short, don't bother shopping anywhere else!
D. H.
Great selection of products at great prices. Even better was the communication with an email to acknowledge the order, another to confirm it had been picked/packed and a final confirmation that it had shipped.
Ordered at 13:59, order received next morning via 1st class post.
R. B.
Really fast and efficient. Delivered within 3 days of ordering with 2nd class postage. All items were in great condition and fitted really well. Great customer service, will definitely order from Absolute Snow again.
G. G.
I recently ordered a deck from Absolute snow and was very happy with their communication when I ordered, and when it was packed and ready for delivery. It was sent 2nd class ( my choice from other postage options) and arrived to me in Shetland 4 days later which was superb!. I received deck and I am very happy..stoked in fact, , highly recommended, thank you so much, cheers Keith.
M. J.
Absolute snow has amazing customer service! They were extremely helpful with all my requests, the package came quickly and on time, despite last minute change of address. I'll definitely go and buy from them again.
M. H.
Really fantastic company to deal with. Regular email updates keeping you informed of your order status which i found very useful. Really nicely packaged item, couple that with super fast delivery, i could not fault Absolute Snow at all. Definitely 5 stars.
Many thanks, Mike
R. D.
These guys are the very best I have experienced over the hectic online Christmas experience. At a time when all you want to know that your order is being dealt with, packed and shipped, hoping to make it by Christmas! Easiest way to describe this is that it felt like I was the only order they had to process. Excellent experience. Shopping there again for sure!
D. T.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Really helpful support from the guys over the phone, absolutely outstanding. Explained I had 5 days before I'm due to fly out and the team managed to get me turned around with new skis -- bindings fitted, ready-to-go -- in just over 24hrs, including delivery half-way across the country, in the aftermath of some of the worst weather we've had in years, no less. As if that wasn't enough, they also offer price matching. Unbeatable service, will definitely be looking to these guys first in the future. Thank you.
S. B.
I am a regular customer due to the fantastic selection of products at such competitive prices; they are vey difficult to beat, especially when offers are on! The online shop is extremely easy to use, and the customer service is both excellent and very trustworthy (and I have very high standards of expectation). I have never had a problem from any of my numerous purchases. The size guides and information / buying advice are very accurate too. Topped off with a massive selection of delivery options; AbsoluteSnow is as near to perfect as you can get. Thank you all.
j. a.
Excellent range of goods, ex ellen's customer support. I live in Singapore and the whole team dealt with my order, problems smoothly, efficiently and in a very pleasant, professional manner. Would recommend to anyone who needs products even outside the UK. Thanks to the whole team!
J. G.
Great service. Items arrived well in advance of expected date. Regular emails updating status of order. Price was very good, all items as described. I'm a very happy shopper.
R. L.
Placed my first order with Absolute Snow this week, and I was very impressed - a great price, very quick dispatch, and communication to keep you posted at each stage of the dispatch process. Would definitely order from them again!
K. B.
Ordered snowboard and bindings in end of season sale for next day delivery- honestly the best customer service I've ever had! Able to speak to someone promptly over phone, received updated messages and the delivery time was bang on! Great service thanks
L. C.
Great choice of products, very competitive prices. Been using them for 10+ years (used to be called Bargain Boards) and always been more than happy with the service. Also been to their shop in Hemel, while it's quite small, it allows you to try stuff on prior to buying, staff very helpful. Would be happy to use again and recommend 10/10
D. H.
First time ordering from this place - got some new equipment at a great price. One of the items in my order wasn't available anymore unfortunately and they notified me straight away. I asked for an alternative and they updated my order and dispatched that evening. My order still arrived the next day which was impressive. I would definitely buy from here again!
S. R.
Been a regular customer to this website for a few years now. My go to boarding site for any products I need! Excellent service and communication from the staff if in need to of some advice. Delivery is flawless and even returns on a couple of occasions have been simple. Next purchase to be made very soon
G. P.
Excellent service and very quick delivery. I've ordered a snowboard on monday and i am looking at it right now. 4 day delivery UK to Romania, that's a lot better than Amazon and other retailers. They also sent a free snowboard bag which i was expecting to not be that great quality however it's a proper bag with some nice padding. I've also got a nice price match for the board. What more can i say, they've won me as a customer and i'll definitely shop here again.
M. P.
They are extremely helpful in addressing your concerns and needs. Speedy order handling and great communication skills. This company is certainly customer service oriented. Thank you all.
D. B.
Great shop. I bought a GoPro Hero 5 session from here. The price I paid was very competitive and the product arrived very quickly. The level of service was among the best I have ever experienced in the despatch process, with emails from the people picking the product from the warehouse and packing the product for delivery giving a personal feel to the process and keeping me informed of the state of my order.
D. O.
Very Impressed! I Made a purchase for a Burton Ski Jacket. Had 3 emails letting me know that it was being picked, packaged and then posted. My items came well packaged, and quickly. Amazing service from this business, will 100% be using again, so much better than some of the bigger brand business selling similar product.
N. J.
Excellent customer service by Ziggy! Parcel went missing during delivery and Ziggy was able to organise a new pair of boots to be sent out the very next day! Repsonsive and great products!
S. S.
Exceptional customer service. Not just once, on many occasions. Dealing with unusual delivery requests, dealing very satisfactorily with warranty claims, offering experienced advice. I work in the the snowsport industry and Reputation means a lot. I buy my gear from brands I have heard good things about. Now its time to recommend a retailer. I will be buying basically exclusively from Absolute Snow, cant say fairer than that!
A. M.
Excellent service and excellent price. These boots were sold out in my size at every major retailer so I was pleased but a little apprehensive to find them here at a retailer I didn't know, particularly when the price was considerably cheaper than the other shops. I read some reviews and went ahead - the reviews were right. I received constant updates to my order and the boots are great. They don't have the support I was expecting from other reviews, but the sole is cushioned and comfy. They are true to size - I initially thought they were tight as my toes touched the front but after a few minutes they settled in and fit perfectly (I'm a size 5/38). One thing to note is that after only a day, the colour from my quite worn blue jeans rubbed off on the front of the lining which can be seen when in use. Haven't worn them in the rain yet so I can't comment on the tread.

Top quality boots at a great price! Love them and can't wait to take them to the slopes! Delivered when they said they would and kept informed at all stages of the transaction up to and until receipt. No complaints.

Quite an amazing service. I made a mistake in the order process and didn't use a discount code before making my order. I contacted Absolute Snow by email then called the following day, readying myself for a battle to get the discount applied only to be told they had seen my error and applied the discount and the refund was already on its way. You can't ask for any more than that. Awesome service.

Great Communication!
I love the attention to detail - little things like emailing with who's packing your order and then another to say who's checking your order.
Other companies should take note!

Excellent service — brought a great ski bag from them. Daniel was super-helpful, and smoothed the way financially for me :-))

I’ve ordered a number of items from Absolute Snow and the service never fails to delight! Excellent communication throughout, great prices and quick delivery (even when it’s free). Couldn’t recommend highly enough. I’ll never go anywhere else for my winter sports related stuff!

Great Price, fast international delivery, they even threw in a free snowboard bag without me knowing about it. Absolutely top notch, 100% recommended and would buy from again

As always I found everything i needed for the season at lower prices than anywhere else!
Fantastic customer service! Using their online messaging system was able to change my order three times prior to delivery, all with a quick message and no problems at all.

Order from Absolute all the time, whether it's boots, snowboard, bindings etc. This time it was for a pair of the latest 32 TM boots. Their service is second to none and I 100% recommend them for snowboarding, skiiing and other purchases. They have no nonsence returns and I can testify to that as i've returned things of high value with no questions asked. I've been using them for years now and will continue to do so. Thanks to the team at Absolute Snow :-)

For some reason in the US it is hard to find people who carry Picture Organic clothing. Luckily I found Absolute Snow and I love them! Great prices, they are always more than helpful, the turn around from Purchase to ship is always fast, and I always love the product I get.
L. J.
Great place to buy from , online email help and assistance was perfect. Bought my first board from these guys which turned up today via Parcelforce. No issues and came with a free zip up bag :)
R. P.
I really like coming to this shop - the service is great, so much choice for skiing and snowboarding, as well as for hiking. The prices are always the best, even if you compare them with other online retailers. The guys are really helpful, they never rush you, you can try on as much stuff as you want. I like it even more after they moved to the new building.

This was my first time shopping with Absolute Snow and my experience was excellent. Took advantage of their price match offer which was a simple process and saved £32. I received regular updates re packaging/dispatch. Placed the order late afternoon on the 11th of Jan and by mid morning on the 13th of Jan it was in my hands. Cant complain at all.

I've bought ski clothes through Absolute Snow on several occasions. I hadn't heard of them before but found them online when I googled ski clothes (I'm new to skiing!). They have a great choice of brands to choose from. On my first order, I accidently ordered the wrong size and emailed them to change the order. I received a response almost immediately (even though it was late evening) to confirm they had corrected my order as per my request. I used the royal mail delivery option and received it well within the expected date of delivery and the items were well packaged. Very pleased with the overall service and would recommend.

Just received my second order and again the customer service was excellent. Lots of updates and I knew exactly where my order was at all times ! Cannot rate these guys highly enough and look forward to my next order. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Excellent service. Kept informed throughout of how my order was progressing. Delivered the next day on first class mail. Product in excellent condition and the sale price made this a really good buying experience.

Totally superb, easily one of the best online retailers I have ever dealt with.
The discounted postal returns also means you can try something with confidence if you're not sure on the size.
Cant recommend them enough.
S. W.
One of the easiest websites I have used and super efficient. A stress free purchase and an excellent product. Birthday present for my daughter who wanted a Patagonia sports bag. Great choice lots of visuals of the product. Liked the fact it actually showed someone carrying it which gave a better idea of the size. Wish all sites were like this.
P. M.
Ordered a gnu snowboard from these guys it was delivered quick and I received 3 emails keeping me updated. It even came packaged in an “absolute snow” board bag which was pretty cool, I got it for a reduced price that no other retailer could compete with, Ive recommended this shop to my mates and would highly recommend to others, thanks again 👍
S. C.
Amazing service, super speedy and cheap delivery. Communicate everything to you 100 if the way. Great selection and fantastic discounts. I’ve bought a burton jacket and gloves from them and will be using them as my main snowboard shop from now on!

Order process was easy and delivery super quick! Had 1 issue which the customer services sorted within a day. Couldn't reccomend highly enough and will order more soon. Thanks
H. G. B.
Above and beyond with customer service, made to feel as a valued customer, kept in formed at all times. Ordered a hoody for my sons birthday, excellent quality, I will be ordering again, and would recommend
S. C.
Very quick delivery time (2 days from order) even by choosing the free delivery option which is extremely good unlike most places. Even though the box which had the snowboard boots in was a bit damaged, the boots themselves were in mint condition.
R. M.
Bought a Forcefield Jacket 2 recently and Absolute Snow's service has been first rate all the way.Constant communication to let you know where your order is and promt delivery.Spot on.
F. L.
Awesome!
I used Absolute Snow for the first time this year. They had the board and binding combination I wanted for a good price. Unfortunately the board was delayed quite a bit because of production issues at the board company factory, but Absolute Snow regularly kept me updated about the status of the board when they got news from the factory on email and they responded quickly to my messages via their message system.
It's safe to say they that these guys know what they are doing. They can also help you to find the right board. Service was great all the way through. Won't be the last time I shop with them for sure.

I buy the majority of my stuff online and dealing with Absolute Snow has to be one of the best transactions ever, from the brilliant website, the cost, the excellent communication from the sales team, to the speedy delivery.
I will definitely be shopping there again and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

I wanted a special coliour back Lowe Alpine pack, I found it here.
Freindly messages pointed the movement of my purchase.
The packaged arrived well packed in three days, Living off shore it always takes a little longer.
It was then I bothered to look on site for hiking gear.
Impressive!

This shop members are kind and works are very speedy, when I had bought some ski items in this online shop.
And then once I faced on that lack a item stock link of online and offline, they cared very politely.Oh, it was great service, and graceful deeling.
I will buy some items from them surely again, because I recommend this shop.

After a search for equipment Absolute Snow came up with what I wanted at the best price so I decided to order with them. Ordered on Thursday morning and by Friday morning it was with me but the best thing was the regular updates to tell me order was received, then packed, then despatched. Excellent speedy service, I'll definitely be back for more equipment in the future!!
B. K.
Absolutely loved my shopping experience! Ordered online and received my items the next day. Great prices and great customer service as well
E.
Where to start.. excellent from start to finish ! Questions answered within an hour or two online , good advice when asked for, shipping and mounting of binding extremely quick, updated throughout the whole experience. Mind you I don't have my order yet however I don't believe there will be issues because they are sooo onto everything ! Best customer service I've ever received ;) keep it up !
F. B.
Stunning commitment to customer service and a real pleasure to deal with. We love the 'ask the expert' feature too. Top marks Absolute Snow, we'll be sure to buy from you guys again. A*

Totally professional company, it would be impossible to fault the service I have just received . E-mailed upon receipt of order and again for picking & packaging and finally upon despatch. Product exactly as described and arrived as expected. Many many thanks Guys and I will return soon without any hesitation. A very happy customer 😊😊😊😊😊.
C. E.
Superb customer service - fast response times, professional and personable.
The product was perfect and delivered quickly with great comms throughout. They even beat any other price on the market. A first time customer but I will definitely be using them again.

Was hunting for a Capita DOA. In the end of the season, a very hard board to find. Found it on the Absolute Snow website and loved how much relevant information to support the purchase decision it had. Pushed in the order and started waiting. I really appreciate things like getting steady updates on the progress. Being the anxious person to get the stuff I am, pinged their service to death with status updates as the shipping company page was having issues. Get very good and swift responses. Received the board in great condition as it was packed very well. Extremely happy with my purchase and the service!
B. C.
Excellent customer support and service! The team is prompt in replying to messages and they always take proactive action to make sure you're satisfied with your order. Thanks Absolute Team for your help :)
N. B.
great service. They kept me up to date with the progress of the order, delivered on time (even in the snow). Managed to price match from another store. Snowboard came with a bag that was unexpected. Would recommend.

There are many retail stores who sell "Snow Gear", however none with such an extensive range.
I went in to buy my first pair of Snow Board Boots. I did all the research online, and was set on a particular pair/brand/look. WRONG!
Charlie B (Legend) helped serve me, with a wealth of knowledge to supervise any level of Snow-rider. I learnt quickly that is is not you that chooses the boot, it's the boot that chooses You!
If it's your first pair of anything for the Snow, get down to Watford, it's worth the day trip!
Great Store!
Great Staff!
Great Experience!
G. J.
Excellent service...item arrived well packed, the day after I ordered it and as described. I was kept up-to-date via email at every stage, from order to despatch. I would definitely recommend and use them again based on this experience.
L. M.
Best experience on a ski shop ever.got there to mount drill my bindings, I stopped to buy boots too. I was expecting to try pairs and pairs of boots, I have actually tried three!an hour just talking about the level, what I like when skiing and size taking (the 3d scanner is something I have never tried before).what to say, Jay came out the stock with the perfect pair of boots.definitely recommended if you are a passionate of the sport. Staff super preparerd and kind.
K. A.
Truly phenomenal Communication.
I ordered a Jetboil Minimo that was several pounds cheaper than anywhere else I could find online or otherwise.
These are the emails I received:
1. Payment Received: An initial receipt
2. Picking in Progress: No longer able to cancel but instructions to return
3. Parcel Has Been Packed: Daniel B told me the goods are packed
4. Order Despatched: Tracking number provided with eta for delivery
I'll certainly be using absolute-snow-co.uk again for sure!

Excellent delivery information; kept well informed as the order and delivery is processed. placed my order for skis on Sunday afternoon and had them by 8.00 on weds and that was the standard delivery at a reasonable cost. how refreshing to receive such great customer services

Direct international shipping from their warehouse in UK to Singapore was expeditious hassle-free: Packing of items was done by the mid-afternoon of the next working day following my order which sent in after 2pm UK time, then shipped immediately that evening. Specific request of the snowboard base colour for this birthday gift was forwarded to the warehouse staff and acceded to. Would definitely consider buying from them again instead of online shops which do not permit shipping directly to Singapore! Hopefully, the deals remain great :)
A. F.
I have bought numerous products from these guys, they are always on hand to help find the best bit of kit at a reasonable price. Very good customer support which resolved my issue. Would definitely buy my next piece of skiing attire here.
J. C. P.
Amazing Customer Service, genuinely my go to snow equipment suppliers and experts.
Always happy to listen and explore your preferred riding style, however silly or odd your ride style is they will spend the time to try and find you the right board, bindings or boots. As an intermediate/advanced snowboarder i still ask there opinion.
if you need new gear, hit them up have a chat explain what you like and the brand, and leave feeling confident that you bought the right thing for the season.
B. B.
Go in, sit on a computer and chose what you want to try. They had all the sizes I needed in the items I liked which is rare but made shopping there so much easier.
The knowledge of the guy serving us was insane and he was super helpful!
Would recommend shopping with them over any other shop any day of the week.
I have subsequently brought more items from them online because it's so simple and easy.
N. M.
Bought 2 expensive items for snowboarding from here, the best service I've recieved, probably ever, on both occasions.
Updated at every step of the order, processing and dispatch and then a, text from the delivery company within 10 mins of the email saying its been sent.
Will only use this site for my wintersport gear now
P. M.
Discovered Absolute Snow by accident looking for a specific pair of hiking shoes. Price was fantastic. Took the plunge and ordered. Website was a breeze to use. From payment, communication from Absolute Snow has been one of the best consumer experiences online that I've had for a long while, from picking to packing and ultimately delivery. All good and if I need something else, I would definitely order from Absolute Snow again.
M. D.
This company is a very good online supplier. One distinct advantage over the competition is that you can go for the full try before you buy experience by visiting their shop in hemel. Add to cart and check out like a normal online shop. But in between you get to try on your potential new kit.
C. L.
Excellent selection of climbing gear. Picked up a new ice axe which I'd normally have to order online without seeing. As soon as I walked in one of the guys explained how the shop works and was on hand to grab my order and check the stock. Only problem is now I know where it is my bank account is going to take a beating!
