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

They honestly suck, i tried to order a sleeping bag and they messed up and it sold to someone else. i settled for a different option and the order say pending for 9 days no one reached out about it. i reached out when i didnt have it yet and they corrected it with new payment method since paypal doesnt work for some reason. Honestly just lacking in so many ways!!!!

I hate them. They sent the wrong item and then would only refund me for the item NOT the shipping. I never got the correct item..

Bot verify prevents creating account with unnecessary, time wasting attempts to satisfy. I spent 20 min unsuccessfully. Never trust these guys! Poor customer service. Makes me ❤️ REI

I ordered hiking shoes and they were too big, so I ordered another pair in a smaller size. When I shipped back the other shoes, I was given store credit only because they claim the shoes were used. I never wore the shoes and they declined a refund. I will never shop here again as I paid for the shipping return omw brand new pair of shoes that they say were used. It’s a scam. The whole company is a scam if this is how they do business. Will not shop here again.

I returned a coat and ordered another size same coat according to directions. I was given store credit for the first coat. Instead, I would like a refund on my credit card. The representative kept referring to my account and saying that it can’t be edited. I should be able to edit my account. My credit card number was saved without consent. This is a horrible way to do business.

The returns go through an factory inspection and its a joke. I was told the jacket I bought was washed because testing smelled fabric softener. The jacket was new, unworn with original tags and in original packaging. I was told I can only get store credit as refund and I only found out about it because I never received my refund back in my bank account.

Be very cautious ordering off of their website. They auto add a shipping liability fee that seems nominal but it is a cash cow for them. You do not need to pay extra to insure your items are not damaged in shipping and arrive in one piece. Companies do this without adding additional fees. This should be happening inclusive of the retail price. Backcountry is nickle and diming consumers!

I spoke with Norma from Back Country regarding missing items from my order, and the experience was extremely disappointing. Norma was unable to resolve any of the issues, nor would she accept or trust the findings of the third-party shipping insurance company, which clearly stated that two of my items were never shipped from Back Country’s warehouse. When I asked why Back Country would partner with a third-party company they apparently do not trust, or whether the shipping insurance offered by Back Country was legitimate and intended to protect consumers, Norma could not provide a clear answer. Our conversation lasted over an hour, yet no resolution—or even a plan for one—was offered. In addition, there was a significant language barrier throughout our interaction. Norma’s strong accent made it difficult to fully understand her, and her inability or unwillingness to respond directly to my questions suggests that communication was a challenge on both sides. The implication that both I and the third-party insurance company were being untruthful was particularly unacceptable and unprofessional. Mistakes can happen in warehouse operations, but how they are handled defines a company’s integrity. Unfortunately, this experience has completely eroded my trust in Back Country. This was my first and will be my last time shopping with your company. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Back Country to others. I will be informing members of our adventure group to consider more reputable apparel and gear companies—ones that respect their customers’ time, honesty, and hard-earned money

They deliver $200 Patagonia jackets via DOORDASH and there is NO way to get a hold of the DoorDash driver to give instructions. 100000% unprofessional and unacceptable!!!!!! For them to not use a professional delivery service. Never again will I order from this awful company. When my package is stolen they better give me every cent back.

Won't honor their return policy. Claimed new equipment was used. I bought a pair shoes tried them on in the house and they didn't fit now they are claiming they are used. They wouldn't even provided pictures of the wear marks they claim are present. I checked store credit b/c I planned on buying a different pair. Will not be using this company again for any of my outdoor gear needs.

I ordered a Columbia Fleece from Backcountry, through Amazon. I received a plastic pipe. I was told by Amazon that Backcountry would replace the fleece. They will not, I have purchased many items directly from Backcountry in the past. Never Again.

Horrible customer service. I ordered an Arete Sling 8L Hydration Pack, which was supposed to come with a water bottle. The water bottle was missing when it was delivered. Customer service wanted me to return it, then they’d send me a new one with the bottle, but they said that since they didn’t have the color I had ordered (black), they’d have to send me a different color, and charge me $15-$20 more since that color was more expensive. I suggested they just send me the water bottle (saving themselves postage), and they said no. I suggested I send the bag back, they take the bottle from a different color bag and send me back the black bag with the bottle (since that’s the color bag I wanted), they said no, I’d have to pay more and get a different colored bag.

I was under the impression that backcountry is a professional company with better response to customers. But it turned out to be untrue. I placed an order online and these idiots havent shipped anything for a week and they are clueless when they will ship. An unprofessional way of dealing with the customers

Ordered chaco sandles, after repeated contacts by me telling them fedex has no record of the tracking number they provided. Now they dont even respond to the email from FedEx stating no such number found.
