Backcountry Used to Be a Great Outfit This formerly top-notch gear company made it's reputation not only merchandise selection but also on great customer service with friendly, knowledgeable reps and fast, easy returns. Today, it's probably one of the worst in terms customer service out there. Returns are slowly processed if at all and you have to DEMAND the credit be issued even after they've received your return gear. Wait times on calls and chat are ridiculous. Excuses for delays vary depending on who you finally reach. There is clearly something going wrong and it may be ownership (private equity) or new management. STAY AWAY.

No Return Terrible customer service. The return policy says, "Unused gear can be returned at any time with proof of purchase." I didn't use my shoes even once; the tag was still in there. However, they tried to find any reason to reject my return.

Terrible user expererince Terrible user expererince. Received wrong size, reordered correct size which took about 35min over the phone. Was waiting over 1 week, item never arrived - they knew already that the product was missing -hoping I'll forget. Apparently no replacement articles in stock anymore but lets not call the customer. (damn it, I noticed the item didn't arrive)

Poor Experience Backcountry’s delivery provider of choice tossed my package into a neighbor’s backyard where dogs pulled it apart. Parts are missing, everything is covered in dirt, and they were only able to “offer” me $10 off my next order. I came back once after they tried to make amends for suing smaller “backcountry” businesses into oblivion, but I’m done with them now.

Do not EVER order from Backcountry Do not EVER 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. Terrible customer service.
