Please avoid this company Please avoid this company. Had one order, went ok. Tried another: canceled 3 days later with no explanation. Tried another: free shipping "shipped" a week ago, now apparently it's in a delivery exception in a city 300 miles away, while the "5 business day" delivery window has officially closed. Don't be fooled and just go order from the manufacturer direct or REI...

DISHONEST RETURNS DEPARTMENT I just ordered a pair of shoes from backcountry.com. I had them on my feet for about 60 seconds before determining they were too large. I immediately boxed them and mailed in a return. Backcountry in turn gave me a store credit rather than refunding my original form of payment. When I called to ask why, I was told they were received back "dirty inside and out." I told them this was absolutely not true, to which they replied that the receiving department documented that they were. I asked for photos. They had none. I questions the honesty of their returns department. It is either their standard response in order to retain funds or they are employing dishonest persons on the receiving end of returns- can't help but wonder if those brand new shoes are now being worn by an employee who documented them as "used." For the record, item was shipped back within 24 hours of receipt. Again, No photographic proof from backcountry showing a used product. Customer service is outsourced and agent refusing to let me speak to a supervisor.

No order record but billed I ordered from them for items on sale. I never received a confirmation email but wrote down the order confirmation number. When I called, I was told that there was no order. I let it go. 6 weeks later, I received a bill for the order with one item unable to ship as it was not in stock. I had to call to cancel the order that I clearly did not expect as I purchased the items elsewhere when my order was not confirmed. I have also separately had an issue with them refusing to price match. Not a reputable company. I won't do business with them again.

Absolutely Impressed Several times while shopping for sporting goods, I've found Backcountry has the best sells. I bought a helmet that was too small, and the return process was a breeze. Staff are friendly, they respond quickly to messages, and shipping is so fast it's here before I close my computer. Will continue to give Backcountry my business!

corporate jargon & no customer service I purchased a backpack and it sat in their warehouse for 10 days before shipping. I messaged them twice asking about it and got the usual corporate jargon "it's in pending shipment status." Sure. So finally it came to the point where I told them if they don't ship it out today I'm going to cancel the order because I have a trip coming up. No response but an hour or so later I received a shipping notification email. It was finally delivered (no expedited shipping or anything) and still no response to my email. Needless to say I'm done with Backcountry not so much because of the delay but because of their absolute lack of customer service. I'd advise you to do the same considering prices for these items are pretty much standard at these stores.
