Just wondered has anyone used the outdoor megastore on line to buy a tent.  Looking at buying a tent and was wondering if they are a reputable company.

I've not bought a tent from them, but I have purchased from them on line and found them to be very good. I seem to remember some people having problems though, so it might pay you to search the threads. I did find this link though!

I do like their service most of the time, they do sometimes take the funds with the item out of stock, then you have to play the waiting game. Then you have to phone to get refunds. I must stress this has only happened once to me, after many purchases. I will use them again.

Check out this store, if you don't see what you're looking for, ask. Their service is outstanding and I highly recommend them. http://www.totalcamping.co.uk/

I've bought a tent from them before and they were great.

Agree with the funds thing though. They take the money straight away even if they have no stock which is a touch naughty.

Best bet would be to buy over the phone with them, then you can confirm stock levels before parting with any cash.

Hi, we bought our new tent from them a couple of weeks ago, along with about everything else you could ever possibly need for any eventuality (like to be prepared!).  Everything arrived about 4 working days after we ordered it.  We ordered the Vango Diablo 600xp, and according to the specifications it is only supposed to come in 1 bag, which it did.  However, they seem to have forgot to include the tent poles and pegs, which are apparently now packed in a separate box.  Luckily we checked it before heading off on our hols... Anyway, we rang them straight away as soon as we had realised, and they were excellent, apologised and arranged for the second missing bag to be delivered the next morning, which it was! Can't fault them really.  We also complained because the instruction DVD inside was bent like a banana, so they sent us a new one too.  All in all, despite a little hiccup, they solved the problem straight away..all was good.  And they were by far the best prices on everything we ordered.  Can't wait to go away and try the tent out next weekend...  Good luck with your purchase and happy camping

I bought my Ontario from outdoormegastore, and the delivery was less than 24 hrs later.
Also on first erection of tent, we managed to break a pole phoned OMS and even though i didnt erect the tent within 7 days as they state on the terms and conditions, they still sent me a new pole at no cost to myself.

I bought a new tent from them about 2 weeks ago and eveything went smoothly.  Tent arrived in a couple of days, no problems at all.  I would definitely use them again.

Excellent company, fast delivery and decent (not always the best) prices. Have ordered many things from them over the last couple of years with no problems.

I've bought a few things from them, good service, everything arrives quickly.

Only problem I'm having now is getting them to pick up the recalled Coleman Black Cat heater. arranged 2 times and not turned up yet! fingers crossed for 3rd attempt tomorrow.
