Surplus and Outdoors?

[Man of Tanith]

Evening All,
Son of Tanith has come back from a camp where he was a scout helper for the old cub pack he was in.
He's expressed a kit want (following in his father's footprints there....) He wants a DPM goretex jacket like mine. Which is cool.
Dutifully I have hunted around online and found one online at Surplus and Outdoors.

However, I also recall there being two stores with similar names. Surplus and Outdoors being one Surplus and Adventure being the other. One I recall was good, the other.... Not so good when it came to orders and customer services.

Before I make the order can someone reassure me surplus and outdoors is the good un?

I've tried searching through the forum and had no joy.

All advise gratefully received

Surplus and Outdoors is fine, had stuff from there with no dramas. Surplus and Adventure was the iffy one, although I've never ordered from there but do remember the issues others had. Hope that helps.

Brilliant thank you.
I thought it was that way but wanted to triple check

I agree with nolightweight. I have always had a good experience with Surplus and Outdoors going back to 1974 when they had a shop in Stourbridge founded I believe by the present owners Father who was German and opened the shop after staying here after being a POW. I was at the Kidderminster shop last week they now only offer mail order and click and collect.

I have made a few purchases with Surplus and Outdoors and never had any problems.

Surplus and Outdoors are very reliable, they may not open in real space anymore but they are very quick to despatch your order if you place it on line. I tend to click and collect as they are opposite the Severn valley railway and it is good to have an excuse to visit.

I've always found S&O good to deal with.

Like all surplus though, some of the 'Grading' can be highly subjective. Double check their returns policy etc.

Strikeforce supplies has always given great service (is local to me too ) https://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/ - if you want another option Sam.

Bought a few things from Surplus and Outdoors over the years, and never had a problem with them.

Last item being a set of grade 1 stainless steel dutch army mess tins, and they looked pretty much unused to me.

Hope this helps
