In the past I have commented on how expensive the GO Outdoors stores are, they get you to purchase a discount card from them, but the discounted goods are just as expensive or more expensive as other stores. I have just had the chance to open this month's C&CC magazine and in it GO are advertising Aquarolls and Wastemasters RRP £54 but £39 with the discount price. In the same magazine Halfords advertise them for £35.09 and Towsure comes in it only £32.95. As I have said before the GO discount card is just a rip off.

I bought a Mont Blanc Barracuda Cycle Carrier from GoOutdoors for £50 (Coventry store). Halfords and many other places charch £89.99.

I was even quoted £60 at an auto outlet I had a trade card for (Trade Price).. GoOutdoors can be excellend value for specific products and can charge a little more for others.

BTW. The cycle carriers and many other products they sell in store are not advertised on the website.

Not sure i agree with you about Khyam (cant comment on Cabanon).

Last year there were so many problems with the Ridgipod I am sure many retailers wonder about the quality and 'service' from Khyam now.

I think Outwell have moved into a market leading position led by the popular Montana and Hartford models PLUS the numerous practical accessories they supply.

The relevance of market leaders and individual opinions thereof is almost an irrelevance in this case as the thread was opened with comment as to the cost incurreed by shopping at Go Ourdoors/Mitchells/CCC as opposed to other suppliers.  I can tell you that our recent trip ti Sheffield - Towsure was well worth it (we live within 2 miles of Mitchells) we saved over £10 on 2 small items by going there.

Hi,

Just my opinion, but I have foung Gooutdoors in Coventry to be very competitive. I know the discount card may seem a bit of a rip-off but at least they send you tailored offers thru the post.

Cheers
