What people say

Can't afford returns

We ordered 2 PFDs, one was way too small (much smaller than the size guide) so we returned it - the PFD cost €65, the postage to return it is €30! Nootica don't pay the postage, they don't even let you take advantage of their much cheaper bulk postage rates, so unless you're buyimg very expensive items, you effectively have no consumer protection. The other PFD started to fall apart after one use - multiple threads unravelling at the seams. It's not worth even complaining as I can't afford the postage to send it back. I hate everything Amazon stands for, but if they send me something that is unsatisfactory, I can return it and get my money back. I've learned my lesson and won't make the same mistake again.

I trust Nootica as nothing else for my…

I trust Nootica as nothing else for my canoe / kayak items as summer items. Has excellent support in communication as I received in perfect condition and on time every year my items. For sure I suggest it to my friends too.

Do not use the "next day delivery" option

Nootica has a great range of products in different qualities and we have been happy customers in the past. On our last order, we clicked "next day delivery before 6PM guaranteed" option in shipping page on checkout. This was an additional 15€. When the package arrived 4 days later (wknd in between), I wrote an email to customer service to ask for a refund of the 15€. They told me I had to read the FAQ where it was stated that they only guarantee the SHIPPING of the order before 6pm next day, not delivering. I told them this information was contradictory and misleading and send them all the print screens to show the "next day DELIVERY before 6pm" note, with the address under this statement. I insisted politely that the mistake was theirs and that I wanted a refund of the extra charge but to no avail. Customer service stayed committed to their false statement with no offer of a compromise whatsoever. They did not hesitate to turn a happy customer in an unhappy one for the silly amount of 15€. UPDATE: They tell me on this platform that they're going to reimburse shipment as it has clearly not met the shipping delay. they subsequently confirm it by email. Sounds good right? A couple of days later, still no news, after sending them a reminder, they basicaly tell me to get lost.

Good morning, I am sincerely sorry that our response did not meet your expectations. In fact, when you choose Chronopost delivery, you have the guarantee that your package will be delivered to you the day after shipment. In your case, the package was shipped on 07/18, it should have been delivered to you on 07/19. As such, I have opened a complaint with Chronopost because your order was indeed delivered late. We will get back to you quickly regarding the coverage of transport costs. In the meantime, we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Sincerely Nootica Team

It's been two months since we paid 250 euros

We placed order late in May and waited around one month. The product has never been shipped and then we decided to cancel the order thinking that we waited enough around two to three weeks ago. The order seemed to be cancelled already on nootica webpage either after our email or even before automatically, not sure, but soon we got confirmation for our request by email. We have been waiting for refund since then and it doesn't seem to happen soon unlike what we were told by the time we asked for cancellation. They blame their bank all the time and say that they have no control over the process.

Faulty kayak, lousy replacement

Island Voyage Advenced Elements, the inflatable kayak was leaking, after half a year another leaking hose was sent. I'll try to get it stuck. One thing for sure, I will never shop here again.

Good morning, You have reported a problem with a bladder in your kayak last year. The manufacturer has sent a new bladder directly to your home. You have never informed us of a problem with the replacement product you received, otherwise we would have immediately taken action to resolve it as quickly as possible and we would not have closed your request. Our team is always available to respond to any request. So don't hesitate to write to us through your customer support so that we can find a solution together. Sincerely Nootica Team

Worst customer service I have ever…

Worst customer service I have ever received They decided without asking me to cancel and refund my order, I asked why they did this with 10 emails and had zero response ,its also been over 7 days and not received the refund and yet again zero response when I asked where is the refund. There is also no phone number listed so I can not even call them, My advice is never do business with companies who dont list a phone number because it so easy for them to ignore you STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY I WILL NOT USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN COMPLETE SCAM Update they are lying YOU HAVE NOT REFUNED ME

Good morning, Your current order NO-COM-APR000035165 was shipped by Fedex on 04/28. Your previous order had been modified to send you the payment link necessary to add an additional product following your request to our after-sales service, but the payment never reached us, which explains automatic cancellation as well as reimbursement of your order to your Nootica account. Furthermore, insulting us and sending dozens of emails will not make your request move forward any faster. Thank you for your understanding, we remain at your disposal for any further information. Sincerely, Nootica Team

Some time ago it was a good site

Some time ago it was a good site, but not anymore, selling stuff that they don't have, waiting for months, not days or weeks but months, and then to get your money back you need to beg them to do that, communication is absolutely poor, strong recommendation-avoid this shop at any cost P.S. Get mail another week to try to get my money back -Hello, Thank you for your message. Don't worry about a thing. We have a refund claim of €170.00 pending for the item Wetsuit Jacket Epsealon Black Seabass 7 mm - S.5 The rest of your order was dispatched on 27/02/2024 by Fedex, tracking number 775324966~~~. Dont deal with these people for of piece of mind P.P.S. I have been waiting for my refund for more than 2 weeks now cool is that? One thing is for sure I'm not gonna be your customer anymore and do not recommend anyone to have the business with you. Another thing on your site Trustpilot score is shown as 4.8 I think is about time to change and stop lying

Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about your experience at Nootica. We are sincerely sorry that it did not live up to your expectations. However, following your request, we have shipped the products available in stock, the rest of your order has been refunded to you as indicated to you by our accounting department. We try to respond to all your messages as quickly as possible, but their excessive number makes following up on your request particularly difficult. However, we remain at your disposal for any further information and hope that the goods received will bring you complete satisfaction. Sincerely Nootica Team
