Easy to navigate!

I was just browsing when I came upon the products I bought. I was looking for a lightweight windbreaker that was also water resistant. The prices were so reasonable for the quality of the product. I was hooked! I even bought one for myself!
Overall, very pleased with my experience. The products are great for us here in the Pacific Northwest. Lightweight water resistant hoody jackets, ideal for most of the year here.

Will not order from again.

Had to return (which was NOT free) all but 1 item which I exchanged (and hopefully no problems with that - have not received yet). This is just not a user friendly company online. Items did not look at all as they appeared
in website. I very, very seldom (this may be my second one) rate products or businesses online so.... I have unsubscribed to their emails and will only order from free returns shops from now on.

Possibly new favorites

Ordered a pair of RVCA grey jeans for my birthday. Hadn't heard of this brand before, but they are excellent quality and fit perfectly. I ordered several items this day and Altrec's came fast and first.

Altrec Payment Issue

I order two pairs of sunglasses and paid for them online. Yet, I got an email from another company that was not named Altrec claiming that my payment did not go through and ask for me to contact them. When I did contact them, they said that the email are sent to every person buying product from Altrec and that they are not valid. From this experience, I was all faith, confidence and trust in Altrec, and I will never purchase products from them again.

Great

Ordered a waterproof backpack for $50 below local retail stores. Received product in under 3 days with free shipping. Product was perfect

Lousy return service at altrec

I ordered two pairs of shorts from altrec. Both were too big. I had to send them back and pay for return shipping. I might have exchanged (re-ordered) them, but one was out of stock in my size, and the other did not meet the minimum for free shipping, so I would have had order something else to make up the difference.
Paying for return shipping on items that don't fit is really a big hole in altrec's customer service. Especially with clothing, we really don't know, until we try something on, if it will fit. I am not likely to order clothing from altrec again for this reason-- I will choose a company with free, or at least prepaid (reduced rate) return shipping.

Items shown not available

Very disappointing that a sale item I researched and found and ordered and paid for was not actually available. I understand this happens from time to time but it took over a day for an email to appear that said the order could not be completed. No explanation, no goodwill, just not available. I had purchased the ski pants for a gift. I hate giving negative reviews but you asked.

Not satisfied

First of all the item you sent was not the item advertised. Secondly the item took too long to come, and I never received any tracking info as I was told I would. Also it said the USB was compatible with android thats (false) this was not a good experience for me.

Ripped off - $100 C.O.D. for 'extra' TAXES not mentioned ANYWHERE.

Beware if buying ex-US. Bought a sleeping bag and pillow for about US$350. Free shipping in the US but no problem when asked for a $43 shipping charge to Canada. It was fully disclosed and happy to pay. So why then does UPS deliver the products and requires $105 Canadian to hand over the goods????? It is not rocket science to calculate if other taxes or charges apply to Alberta, let alone not advising customers of a near 30% additional hidden cost that made it a lot less competitive that the local Outdoor store here. Very poor.

Brett,

Thank you for the order.

We do state on our website that the customer is responsible for all duties and taxes in the help desk area covering customer questions. Sorry you may have missed it.

Shipping to Canada & other International destinations
Canadian orders are subject to duties and taxes, which are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid upon receipt of shipment. Contact your customs office for more information on duties, taxes and restricted products. Standard Ground orders to Canada take an estimated 7-30 days.

Shipments to other International destinations are also subject to Duties, Taxes, Broker Fees, and Customs Fees in your country. These EXTRA fees are YOUR responsibility and must be paid upon receipt of the shipment. The rules for these fees vary by country, and your local government determines the duty and customs charges. Customs procedures may delay shipments. If you do not pay the associated fees, or fail to collect your order from customs, we will NOT refund the purchase amount and may charge your credit card for the costs associated with collecting the product back.

Please keep in mind as well that while we do try to ship as many products as we can internationally, certain vendors (i.e. The North Face) do not allow us to ship their products outside of the U.S.. If this is the case, it will say, "Available within the U.S. only." on the product page, in the shopping cart, and during checkout.

thanks again for the order.

Defective merchandise

I called customer service about defective apparel purchased from the store. I have not yet received a response or return label, even though I submitted pictures of the problem. There was no-follow up after the matter.
