Item went down in price 2 days after purchase and item is still en route. No one will make this right.

Sold as new product. Arrived with stains and dog hair in an amateur packed plastic bag. Customer serviced offered $20 discount by chat. Cannot trust even if listed as new.

They did not send us what was ordered. When we returned the incorrect item, they refused to give us a refund. Screw these guys. Awful service. We were able to complete a dispute with our credit card company. Highly recommend going that route if you have an issue with these thieves.

I have always been very pleased with Backcountry until I had to return an item. I have encouraged several of my family members to order from here as well. NEVER AGAIN! I ordered an item after Christmas, it arrived just fine, but the item was too large. I followed the return directions on their page and sent the package back using my own choice of delivery service. I went with USPS. For whatever reason, I kept my USPS receipt with the tracking information. My receipt shows that it was delivered to the front desk, reception area or mail room at 9:24 a.m. on January 12, 2026 in Christiansburg, VA. I did an online chat (many times) offered on their webpage and was told that they could see that the package had arrived at above location but that they were very busy with holiday returns and to keep checking my bank account to make sure refund was there. After about 3 weeks of waiting, I contacted them AGAIN and I am now told that the item never reached the warehouse to process a return. It sounds to me like someone at the reception desk helped themselves to my $100 item. They did tell me that they will grant me a one time exception and give me store credit, but I am so frustrated based on the fact that I was told that they could see the item had reached the location that was listed on the return address. BEWARE IF YOU NEED TO RETURN AN ITEM - YOU MAY NEVER GET YOUR REFUND!

You can order online but I wouldn’t do it unless you are absolutely sure about the size and everything because if you have to return something they will make you rebuy what you want then have you UPS back your return then even though they get the return the next day they will make you wait 2-3 weeks for your money back. It’s ridiculous and there are too many other options.

Ordered a Mammut jacket from them but unfortunately they sent me last years model versus this years which they advertised. The customer service rep was fantastic but unfortunately his supervisor wasn't so much. After some dialogue and an offer of a possible reduction in cost and further investigation w/why they sent me last years jacket, I received a return label. Nothing else said about a cost reduction, etc. I will no longer order from them as I am dissatisfied with/their attitude and lack of any further communication. Stop advertising something you do not have and baiting to then receive old stock. Poor business practices will not help you w/your bottom line as people read reviews, especially the bad ones.

Backcountry will ship your items via Ontrtac delivery service. Well known or stealing and losing packages. Well mine was sent back to vendor withiut my knowledge. Same issue with 2 other deliveries in same month. DO NOT ORDER FROM BACK COUNTRY UNTIL THEY CHANGE THIER SHIPPER

Horrible Customer Service: Beware if you are shopping from outside the contiguous United States. I ordered a bike pad for my truck, which was on sale ($45), and paid $30 in shipping to Alaska. Steep and Cheap/Backcountry sent me the wrong pad. They offered to make it right if I shipped it back to them at my cost and paid an additional $30 to have the correct pad shipped to me. The customer service was not friendly and told me I was financially responsible for dealing with their mistake. I guess when you live in the state of true backcountry, Alaska, you, as a customer, are not valued or treated with courtesy, as you are outside their target customer base. In this age, when it's okay not to take ownership of one's mistakes and actions, Backcountry follows this as a corporate philosophy.

There customer service horrible!! Now because of their fault my grandson won't be getting his shi pants nor can he use his gift card for something else cause it takes them five days to put back on card! It started out bad wit an invalid gift card to find out it was valid go thru the ordering process with one of there people tells me all good to find out order canceled because not in stock then this with having to wait for monies to be put back on card! Bad bussiness!! I should be compensated for their mistake!! Its xmas and you messed it up!!

I don't do feedback very often, however for the service, advise and help from Patrick Gibbs, more than happy to do so. He helps me with all my order, very responsive both email and phone call, provided his honest feedback. In addition, he keeps mentioning to me to be very picky in my orders and if it doesn't feel right just let me know - feel free to call or email. Like his attitude means a lot a customer. He even said he will provide me status update of your order... MANY THANKS to Patrick Gibbs

Their customer service was awful. They use gladly so it's a chat conversation where you are not getting feedback in real time at all. They offer discounts but some items are ineligible but they only way you can find out if they are is to go through the hassle of checking on each item by putting it in your cart.

I would like a refund on my Summit+ membership. I got the membership to get a discount on the Flylow Bib, but my size and color was not in stock, so I don't need the membership.

Ordered hiking shoes for a trip because they said it would arrive days before I left. The day I was supposed to receive the product I looked it up and saw it would arrive the next week, after I had left. Infuriating. Out over $100 and totally unprepared for my trip

I value having a dedicated Gearhead available to help me out... and Luke T is amazing!! I've had a few special needs across recent orders and Luke addressed everything super fast. He's just a call or email away. Love working with Backcountry and really love Luke's above and beyond customer service.

I could not be more satisfied with all of Luke’s insightful advice, and help in putting together a ski and binding package for my daughter. He absolutely went above and beyond and did everything he possibly could to help me out. I could not be any happier with backcountry.com and customer service I received from Luke. I wish the star rating went to 100. He would get 100 stars!
