About Our Products
What types of camping equipment do you specialise in?
We specialise in high-quality outdoor gear for all your adventures, including:
- Tents (adventure tents, backpacking tents, camper van awnings)
- Camping accessories (airbeds, camping beds, chairs & stools)
- Awning systems and accessories (including groundsheets, pegs, and annexes)
- Camp kitchen and lighting equipment
- Specialist items like blackout inner tents and air tube replacements
Do you carry products from specific brands?
Yes! We offer a selection of “Awnings by Brand” and work with trusted manufacturers in the outdoor industry. While we don’t list specific brands on our website, you can contact our customer service team for brand-specific inquiries.
How do I choose the right tent or awning for my needs?
Consider these factors:
- Adventure type: Backpacking tents for lightweight travel vs. family-sized awnings for base camps
- Seasonality: Our blackout tents are ideal for summer camping when you want to sleep past sunrise
- Special features: Look for air tube replacements if you own inflatable tents, or awning carpets for added comfort
Ordering & Payments
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and JCB, as well as PayPal for secure checkout.
Is my payment information secure?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption for all transactions. For added security, we recommend using PayPal if you prefer not to enter card details directly on our site.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
We process orders quickly to get your gear to you ASAP. If you need to modify or cancel, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with your order number. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request if your order hasn’t yet entered the shipping process.
Shipping & Delivery
What are my shipping options?
We offer two convenient shipping methods:
- Standard Shipping (£12.95): Via DHL or FedEx, delivering in 10-15 business days after dispatch with full tracking
- Free Shipping: For orders over £50 via EMS, delivering in 15-25 business days after dispatch
How long does order processing take?
We typically process orders within 1-2 business days. Orders placed before 2 PM GMT are often processed the same day. During peak camping seasons (spring/early summer), please allow up to 2 business days for processing.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship globally to most countries, excluding some remote regions in Asia due to logistical constraints. Our international customers appreciate our reliable DHL/FedEx options for faster delivery.
How can I track my order?
Once your gear ships, we’ll email you a tracking number. Use this to:
- Monitor your package’s journey in real-time
- Get more accurate delivery estimates
- Plan to be available when your camping equipment arrives
When should I order to ensure my gear arrives before my trip?
We recommend:
- Free shipping: Order 3-4 weeks in advance
- Standard shipping: Order 2-3 weeks in advance
Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
We want you to be completely satisfied with your outdoor gear. You may initiate returns within 15 days of receiving your order, provided items are unused and in original packaging. Some exclusions may apply – please see our full Returns Policy for details.
How do I return an item?
Contact our customer service team at [email protected] to initiate a return. We’ll provide instructions and a return authorization number. Please include your order number and reason for return in your email.
Who pays for return shipping?
Customers are typically responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to our error (wrong item shipped or defective product). We recommend using a trackable shipping method for returns.
How long does it take to process a refund?
Once we receive your returned item, we’ll process your refund within 5-7 business days. The time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment provider.
