Shady company that accepts orders for products they don't have, takes your payment info then cancels the order. Steer clear of these scammers.

I am very sorry your order was cancelled after you placed it, and I completely understand how frustrating and confusing that experience must have felt. That is not the standard we hold ourselves to and we would like the chance to look into what happened. Please contact us at 1 801 204 4655 so we can review your order and make sure you are taken care of.
❌👎❌👎 what kind of company has a phone…
❌👎❌👎This company is a scam company and a complete JOKE. With their response’s they tell you to call a fake phone number that doesn’t exist, and work (801-204-4655) doesn’t work a total fraud company that doesn’t respond to nothing called their number numerous times and all it does is hang up on you. DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DO NOT DO NO BUSINESS WITH THIS FRAUD SCAMMER COMPANY A TOTAL SCAM COMPANY THAT RESPONDS TOO NOTHING what kind of company has a phone number that does not even work all it does is disconnect a company that doesn’t want to talk to their customers want to help their customers doesn’t want to do anything for their customers. Their emails are the exact same way no response whatsoever only response you get is do you wanna buy something else? I don’t think I wanna buy something else from this corrupted company that doesn’t respond to nothing and the only thing they care about is selling product no Customer Support whatsoever. Definitely definitely look for a legitimate company to do business with which is not this company. It’s funny. I looked up their reviews on the Better Business Bureau. They have a F rating. I can see why can’t even do basic stuff. I ordered a jacket then somebody told me that those jackets run huge in size so I try to see if I could talk to somebody and exchange it for a smaller size jacket which is totally impossible because you cannot get in contact with anybody at this company. all they do is ignore their customers 24 seven there is no way possible to contact them.

Don't buy their insurance
Paid for their worry free insurance which promises no hassle, returnless refund if theres an issue with an order. Wrong item received and they did not honor it... only offered to refund the insurance charge. Don't buy it!

I am very sorry that we sent the wrong item and that our Worry Free coverage was not honored the way it was promised to you. That is not acceptable, and your experience is exactly the opposite of what that program is designed to provide. Please call us at 1 801 204 4655 so we can review your order and make sure you receive the resolution you were promised.

Horrible Customer Service
Absolutely ridiculous - I purchased a pair of Norda running shoes in time for a race and instead was shipped two H&M blazers due to a mistake by the warehouse. When I called customer service, they said I had to send them images and return the blazers and they needed to verify the return before they could even ship out a new pair. Obviously, I’m not going to have them in time.

I am truly sorry for the warehouse error and for the frustration of missing your race deadline because of a mistake that was entirely on our end. You should never have to jump through hoops when we are the ones who shipped the wrong item, and I sincerely apologize that our process made a stressful situation even worse. I am happy to share that your replacement pair has been sent and tracking shows as delivered, so we hope they are in your hands. If for any reason there is still an issue, please do not hesitate to call us at 1 801 204 4655 and we will take care of you right away.
I received my order and realized the…
I received my order and realized the size was completely wrong for me. When I reached out to return or exchange it, I was told it was “final sale” and there were no exceptions.
It’s disappointing that a company selling clothing online won’t allow returns for sizing issues. Customers can’t try items on before buying, so at the very least exchanges should be allowed.
The policy feels unfair and inflexible. I won’t be shopping here again.

I am very sorry for the frustration around your sizing issue and I completely understand how disappointing it feels to be unable to return or exchange an item when you cannot try it on beforehand. While final sale items do carry restrictions, your feedback about how that policy applies to sizing is important and worth sharing with our team. I am happy to let you know that we are reaching out to you directly with a solution, so please keep an eye out for our message. If you need anything in the meantime, do not hesitate to call us at 1 801 204 4655.

Backcountry fails to honor the manufacture warranty.
I bought Atomic Strive 14 bindings from Backcountry and on the 1st day skiing on my new Bent 110's I noticed the toe piece sliders extended outside on each ski and staying in that position, I sent pictures and descriptions to BC's warranty dept and after almost 30 days nothing, no response. Never buy hard goods from BC.

I am so sorry that your first day on the mountain was overshadowed by a binding issue, and even more so that our warranty team has not yet followed up after nearly 30 days. That is not the level of service you deserve, and I sincerely apologize for the delay. I did want to let you know that I have personally reached out to our warranty team and they will be contacting you today to get this moving. If you do not hear from them or need anything in the meantime, please do not hesitate to call us at 1 801 204 4655 so we can make sure this gets resolved
