Scam - Stay away!
This has been incredibly frustrating, and I genuinely feel misled by what seemed like a small, trustworthy business. The UK domain and the advice to buy a size up made it all seem legitimate, but the lack of upfront clarity about the returns process—especially with the warehouse being in Austria—is really disappointing. The inconsistent responses and lack of transparency definitely feel questionable, if not outright fraudulent.
I’m planning to reach out to my bank or credit card provider to see if there’s any way to get my money back, given that what they provided doesn’t match what was advertised. I might also report them to Trading Standards or leave a review to warn others. Hopefully, I can get this resolved without more hassle!

Hi André,
Update on your return shipment.
Upon checking the tracking, it appears that the return was initially addressed correctly and shipped to our address. However, upon the delivery attempt, the courier marked the package as refused, which we do not do.
If your return package has been returned to you, we suggest you contact the courier directly to ask for the reason for the return. Generally, returns are fully processed when all return locations and policies are followed.
Unfortunately, we can only rely on the tracking number of your return and therefore can only provide information that is available on the tracking website.
If you have any further questions or need any help, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thanks!
Hannah from the OutdoorHeld team
