Regatta is one of the UK’s most recognised outdoor clothing retailers and has garnered an ‘excellent’ rating on Trustpilot. A happy customer said: “We needed to buy my son a new coat for school. The sizing guide was good, as well, as we wanted a bit of growing room. The coat arrived in good time, and it was great quality, as described, and it matched the pictures. I would definitely use this company again.”
Another said, ” I found a great winter coat for my daughter for school at a great price. I’m very happy with my purchase.” Some customers did state they were charged for returns. One said: “Ordering and delivery were easy and prompt, but when I did not like the item, returning it was charged and meant either waiting in for someone to pick it up or driving across town to the nearest pick-up point.”
However, a happy grandparent who purchased a coat for ther graddaughter said: “Granddaughter came from school in the pouring rain, coat was wet, but clothes under the coat were bone dry.”
