They have the worst customer service. Not a legit company. I bought a Patagonia coat from them because it was less expensive than buying direct from Patagonia but it was a big mistake. Spend a few extra bucks and buy from reputable people!

Ordered item on sale,about a week later they called and canceled my order. They over sold the item. I asked for a discount on a comparable item. They would only come down to 20 more than competitors price. Lost my business.

What a bulshitt company!!! This company is the worst online company I have ever delt with. Shipping takes forever. Customer service lies consistently and says they have authorized refunds that never get refunded after multiple calls. They CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!”

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.

The customer service was great 👍 The problem is the order that I placed was totally different than what I ordered. It was corrected and I got a confirmation email and still the item never shipped after a week. Better off buying on Amazon if you can 👍

This company is fraudulent. Buyer beware! I ordered from Backcountry a few times in the past with no issues. Decent prices and fast enough shipping so I had saw no issue with using them again. I ordered a pair of $100 Prana pants and within a day or two they sent an email stating they were shipped. The package arrived at my house and there was nothing inside but shipping filler. The person packing my order had apparently forgot to actually pack my order. I inspected the package and found no sign of tampering. Contacting customer service was the most insulting experience I have ever had. They basically accused me of lying and said there was NOTHING they could do about this. Never once even considering that their employee could have made a shipping mistake. Just the blaming and washing their hands of any responsibility. This is by far the biggest shopping fraud I have ever experienced and WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever witnessed. I am filing a police report and have contacted my credit card for a charge back, and reporting to the better business bureau. All this over a $100 pair of pants! Ridiculous! I'm spreading the word so no one else gets ripped off! Buyer beware!!!

Do not order from Backcountry. I ordered four jackets to try on for the upcoming ski season. My package was never delivered and I've been disputing the $1,434 charge with Backcountry for 4 weeks now. I've spoken to 5 different representatives. They said it is above the threshold of paying me back, so now I'm in the middle of disputing it with my credit card. Backcountry is not worth the hassle, you are better off ordering from a different company. Their customer service is terrible.

Normally you will have an easy experience with this company. I've ordered several cycling items over a period of years. I travel a lot and ship to many different locations. This time, I had to use PO box if they ship usps, or street address if they ship ups or FedEx. This totally confused them. Over 4 years several vendors have been able to successfully ship using this method. Three phone calls and nine days after placing my order, they figure out they are out of stock of this item I had ordered and was supposedly sitting in the shipping department. On the 2nd call, young guy didn't really want to be bothered much with customer issues. Calls 1 and 3, they tried to help. I'll be ordering from other places from now on. They never notified me about their not being able to ship. Order just sat and every few days I'd call and explain again what to do. Ordered a different $200 shoe from Mike's Bikes instead.

After years of buying products here, they flubbed a return, kept my money, and did nothing to remedy the situation. The money or the product... they kept both. I've stopped buying from them after 8+ years as a customer.

I bought ski pants from this company on Jan 13, 2023. Item was returned back on Wednesday, February 15 at 5:02 P.M. with return label they provided. 1ZA9Y0719095670838. After 3 weeks of waiting they did not refund my money. When I called the company, different agents started making up lies. One lady told me they didn't receive it and it went to different address and they have to do investigation. One minutes later supervisor Anthony complete investigation and stated they received something else. Another minute later he said the package was returned from another recipient. What a nonsense! Backcountry customer service refusing to issue refund for the item I returned weeks ago. I would like to get resolution ASAP. This is not acceptable!

Do not order from this company unless you enjoy pain and suffering. I could write a book about how this company screwed me but short version- they sent my coat to the wrong address (their error) and then had it sent back to Backcountry. I am jumping through hoops to get my money/refund that they have had for weeks. I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue to no avail. The worst on line shopping experience ever!!

Do not do business with this company. It’s one of the worse online shopping experiences that I have ever had! I ordered a coat weeks ago and they delivered it to the wrong address (mistake on their end) and I had to hound them to get my refund. It’s a long story but just rest assured it was a total pain in the but and took me a lot of time to deal with it. I highly do not recommend this company. Horrible customer service!

My last order was a nightmare. Ordered 2 pairs of bike shorts that were to small. Returned original and they sent me the same size back. Eventually returned all the shorts. Had 3 emails saying they received the returns and my refund was coming soon. It took over 2 months and 5 calls to get a partial refund. The last call was 1 hour and 33 minutes. They tried to say the shorts were returned used and dirty. One package was never opened and the other was tried on for less than 30 seconds. This will be my last order from Back Country.

Backcountry.com has gone downhill and their customer service sucks. They sent me the wrong item and I had to contact their customer service twice. The first time, the rep went MIA and the chat timed out. The second time, the rep was so slow to respond that there were multiple times during our chat that I thought it would time out again. Instead of just processing the exchange and sending me the product I had ordered, they ended up billing me twice and charging me tax twice on a sale that they messed up.

After reading the mixed reviews on BackCountry. com I wasn’t sure , but attracted by their competitive prices and their two days free shipping delivery I decided to place an order. Immediately after placing my order and despite the fact that I had received a notification from my credit card letting me know that there was a transaction the website said that there was an error placing my order. I was asked if I wanted to use a different form of payment. I attempted to chat with a representative but I was unsuccessful, therefore I decided to do the safest thing which was notifying BackCountry. com that if I do not receive my merchandise in two business days I will dispute the transaction. This website is even worst than I thought!
