Outlet outdoor gear website - is it legit?

Post by Klaus »

Has anyone used this website with success? https://www.outletoutdoorgear.com/

I need some tent poles and this is the only place that has some for less than £50 each.

Almost certainly a scam for harvesting bank details, so many red flags:

The address they list in the contact us section does not exist
They only take card payments
Trust pilot has no record of them
Established in 2023

I'd guess no - not genuine.

The address listed on the contact page doesn't seem to exist (45 Colorado Way, Rhyd-Y-Meirch, NP7 4ER)
There's PayPal and stripe logos in the footer but the checkout page doesn't seem to give the option to pay with them and wants your card details.
The privacy policy has some odd mentions of other companies "All admin@husqvaoutlet.com Web servers and database servers are housed and maintained in secure locations." and also contains several american spellings which would be unusual in a legal document aimed at uk markets.

As said above

ADDRESS
45 Colorado Way
RHYD-Y-MEIRCH GB
NP7 4ER

This does not existt,

The hours are very long and 7 days a week as well.

Nothing on companies house on them

If it's too good to be try it usually is, avoid

Registered to an anonymous individual in Gansu, China, just in case anyone was still thinking of risking it. :lol:

There's a long list of other shady websites using the "Husqvaoutlet" email in their FAQ on Reddit.
