I placed an order with Backcountry.com on Tuesday, 07/09/19 for two shirts I need for a trip I’m leaving on Saturday, 07/13/19. The free 2day shipping should have left room to spare, but instead they completely left me in the lurch. A short timeline: - Although the order is placed on Tuesday, no confirmation is immediately sent. I have to get an order reference number from PayPal. - After placing the order but long before shipment one of the items is reduced in price. No refund of the difference is ever offered. - On Thursday I chat with an online rep. She informs me that the delivery will take 2 business days from shipping, which would be that afternoon. I tell her to cancel the order if it can’t be delivered by Friday, as it will no longer be of use. She states that she’s changing the service to overnight and that it will be there the next day. Neither of these things happen, but I do finally get email confirmation of the order. - On Friday I get an email that the order is shipping 2day service and will arrive on Tuesday. I immediately respond to cancel and catch the order. I receive a message back from Gearhead Trevor H. that they were going to intercept the shipment and that I’d be issued a full refund when they could confirm possession. These two things never take place. - On Tuesday, 07/16/19, while I am out of town, I receive an email that the shipment has been left on my doorstep. On the road, I speak with Gearhead Keith J. He asks when I’ll be home and how close I live to a UPS store. It will be my responsibility to return the items before a refund will be issued. Now, after twice telling them to cancel the order, I’m less then inclined to deliver this package back to UPS for them. After a bit of discussion, Backcountry reluctantly agreed to have it picked back up from my front porch. Still, they’ve yet to do a single thing that they’ve said, so I’ll probably just take it to the store. The real point is that they’re completely undependable, and they don’t seem to care. Missing a couple of quick dry shirts has been less than ideal, but it didn’t ruin the trip. If this had been a couple pieces of critical gear for a bike tour or whatever you’re in to, it could have been far more difficult to work around. This is a store that sells pricy outdoor equipment to people who are need quality gear. They call themselves “Gearheads.” Not a single person out of the three I had contact with seemed to have any idea that what they sell could be important. They sure didn’t acknowledge that they created any kind of inconvenience. I guess this was an easier way to learn an important lesson about company with equally low levels of competence and integrity.
