Poor Refund Service

Purchased a down vest in Red, when received the color did not match the website. Returned it.
They charged me for the return freight. Took over 2 weeks after they received it to get my refund. Called customer service to expedite, the agent talked absolute nonsense .

Repeatedly sent me the wrong item

The prices here are competitive, but I had a pretty negative experience shopping here this holiday that was bad enough I won’t be shopping here again. I ordered a Filson bag for my husband for Christmas, and they sent the wrong color (he wanted a specific color). So I reached out to them and told them what happened and then re-ordered the bag again. But then they sent the wrong bag/color a second time. So I ended up with 2 rather expensive bags, neither of which were what I actually ordered. So they facilitated a return of the second bag (which I have to now find time to drive out to FedEx to return) so I could get my money back on one of them. I kept the first bag because I was afraid to try ordering with them again, only to get the wrong color a third time. I gave up - it became too expensive and time consuming to deal with this repeatedly, and now I have to make time to make returns for mistakes they made at their warehouse. I reached out to them and told them about my experience and gave them the opportunity to make it right, and they never got back to me. My advice - if you shop with them, give yourself plenty of time to make returns if they mess up your order and don’t expect the customer experience to be very good, even if you’re spending quite a bit of money with them.

We sincerely apologize for the repeated errors with your Filson bag orders and the time and stress this caused during the holidays. Receiving the wrong color twice and then having to manage returns for our mistakes is unacceptable, and the lack of follow-up you describe is especially concerning. Please reach out to us at 1-800-409-4502 or service@backcountry.com so we can review your orders in detail and see what we can do to make this right.

THEY ARE A FRAUD

I order Patagonia Retro Pile Jacket - Kids they create the shipping label but never shipped. They are a fraud.

Reply from Backcountry.com

We’re very sorry for the trouble with your kids’ jacket order and how it appears that the shipment never moved after the label was created. Sometimes labels are generated before a carrier scan occurs, but you should never be left without clear updates or a resolution. Please contact us at 1-800-409-4502 or service@backcountry.com so we can investigate the tracking, either reship or refund as appropriate, and restore your confidence in us.

Marla B was so helpful!

Marla B was so helpful!! There was a 20% advertised full price discount advertised but the item I had in my cart was not eligible. She helped me by applying a smaller but generous discount and processed the payment for me. It makes such a huge difference to get the help I needed live and quickly and for her to offer me a way to purchase. Thank you!

Incredible after-sale support!!

Reynaldo S made my purchase experience 1000/100. I had some changes and returns that I needed to do after my black friday purchases and he was an absolute gem. I've honestly never met another customer support staff that's so patient, goes the extra mile AND also understand my needs immediately without my having to explain multiple times.

I'm so glad I got connected to him for after-sale support through their chat. LOVE BACKCOUNTRY!!! You guys had the best sale and best items for my camping needs. (I'm sad your LA store is closingggg!)

Horrible

Horrible. Company uses door dash for delivery. I have numerous cameras on the driveway and front door. Driver stated item was dropped off, never was actually delivered. Customer service will blame you and want you to fill a police report and other hoops for an item never delivered. Please do yourself a fovor and choose a real company.
