Or lack of...

Anyone had any dealings with them?

After my recent problems with the two new Anteus' tents (even though I'd had a full refund from the shop i bought them from) I decided to contact Vango direct to voice my concerns and dismay by what had happened.

Initially i used their website messenger, even through i had clearly stated 'complaints' on the form, i received a reply going on about 'tent poles' ???
I then replied to that email writing another email with all the relevant details about ten days ago (no reply) and did a resend about 5 days.. again with no reply to date.

Even though my baby lad got wet from one of the leaks (from a new tent) and I wasted a couple of days running about with over 100 miles extra travelling I would have liked to get some kind of acknowledgement from Vango saying that they would look into it but nothing.

Anyone know any direct emails address to Vango?

I've only heard bad things, but hoping some will come forward with good stories. You can try contacting them via their Facebook page.

Hello eldraco,

I have recently had a few issues with a new illusion 800 tent, so far their customer service has been fantastic. I have been emailing: info at vango.co.uk

Vango customer service has had quite a few good reviews posted on this site.
I have only had to contact them once myself with an enquiry rather than a complaint and got sent a part without charge.

I have to admit that when I've sent messages via their Facebook Messenger it usually takes about 24 hours to get a reply, however I've found if you ring them they are more than helpful

Same as vangoman no problem with customer service. I try and avoid email and always call...I always find human interaction the best way to resolve issues.

Cheers guys..

Got a reply a couple of days ago which basically said they were passing info on to the products department and apologised for the delay in replying...

Vango's internet communication sucks im afraid :(

I had a "live" chat with Vango concerning their wording in the description of a tent I'd bought which I felt was misleading. "Linked-In Groundsheet - Designed by Vango this enclosed groundsheet system offers all the comfort of a fully sewn in groundsheet" As I was looking for a fully sewn in groundsheet I was disappointed to find that this referred to just the porch area. The person would not accept my concerns and I was dismissed with a "can't help you any further".
