Easy exchange, but price was not matched.

I received a a faulty pair of sunglasses, and the exchange process was relatively easy and the service rep was good. However I was told explicitly that they would honor the sale price, and they did not. I bought them on sale for $91 and now the replacement charge showed up as $99. Now I'm not going to bother with hassling them again over $8, however this will be the last time I do business with them, because that's greedy and in poor taste.

I am glad the exchange process itself was straightforward, but I am sorry the sale price was not honored as promised. That should not have happened and we understand why it leaves a bad impression regardless of the dollar amount. Please call us at 1-801-204-4655 and we will make sure that difference is taken care of.

Good luck getting what you ordered

Their system updated my address after purchase with incorrect details, this is the second order this has happened with. Product is supposed to be shipping back to them but I have not received any update 10 days later. I contacted customer service and they basically flat out lie to you to get you to go away. Meanwhile they have already charged me, so just sitting on the funds i've sent them without delivering product. To also add, using door dash as their shipping partner is insane and probably explains most of the issues.

Edit adressing their reply: Cool story bud, i've contacted Back Country customer service multiple times at this point, they just tell me there is nothing they can do until they receive the order (which i never received ) returned.

I am truly sorry this has happened twice now. An address update you did not make, no movement on your return, and a customer service interaction that left you feeling dismissed is not acceptable and we completely understand your frustration. Please call us at 1-801-204-4655 so we can get to the bottom of this, confirm your return status, and make sure your funds are handled correctly.

This company has no motivation to manage their troublesome shipping process. I had a package that was clearly stuck or lost with their shipper (FedEx). I asked a Backcountry Customer Service agent and a supervisor via chat to contact FedEx to get the package moving. Both flat-out refused to intervene. They lost my business forever.

I am sorry we let you down. When a package is clearly stuck, our team should be doing everything possible to intervene on your behalf rather than leaving you without answers. That is not the standard we hold ourselves to. Please call us at 1-801-204-4655 so we can look into what happened and see if there is still anything we can do.

Horrible customer service!! Never order again.

We ordered a couple of items for my son. The package they sent us was for an adult male and had a pair of shorts in it vs the 3 kid items we ordered. This was clearly an error on the companies part but they refused to ship us our original items, that we had already paid for, until they received the adult shorts back and it was a fight to get them to send us a prepaid label!!! When it was their fault!! Just due to the horrible customer service I will never order from Backcountry again or refer anyone to them. Too many other great companies to be dealing with this crappy company!

We would like the chance to make this right, so please call us at 1-801-204-4655 if there is anything still unresolved.

Don’t expect good customer service

Don’t expect good customer service. Had an item show delivered, image clearly is not my door. They told me to check neighbors and if I couldn’t find it to contact the in 4 business days. Very poor service.

Hilarious how the company responds and tells you to call the same number I already did that I got the response from about waiting. How about the company contacts the customer or better yet processes the refund. These responses make people think you resolve the problem.

I am sorry about how this was handled. Being asked to wait four business days after a delivery photo that clearly does not match your home is not the response you deserved. Please call us at 1-801-204-4655 so we can look into this now and get it resolved.
