Order placed on November 28, still not delivered

I placed my order on November 28, and after more than two weeks, it still hasn’t arrived. I’ve contacted customer support twice for updates. Now I’ve received an email stating my order is canceled, and I must wait for a refund. This retailer will not be my first choice moving forward.

Awful delivery experience - avoid this retailer

I placed my order on November 28, and after waiting over two weeks, it still hasn't been delivered. I've had to reach out to customer support twice for updates. Now I've received an email indicating that my order is canceled, and I need to wait for a refund. I will definitely not shop with this retailer again.

Disappointment from a long-time customer

As a long-time customer for over 20 years, it’s disheartening to see the decline in customer service. I ordered two toques for my teenage boys, but they were so small they barely fit a baby, despite being advertised as 'one size fits all.' When I asked for a return label, the online chat was unexpectedly rude and unhelpful. Thankfully, a phone call to customer service connected me with a helpful associate, but this stark contrast only added to my disappointment. It’s unfortunate to witness such a decline in standards.

Lackluster design, but commendable support

I purchased a poorly designed hiking pole for my mother, which was disassembled for travel. A component fell off, making it impossible to reassemble. At the returns location, a staff member dedicated a solid 20 minutes to find a solution, which was appreciated. However, the company's choice to create such low-quality items is disappointing, especially given its previously strong philosophy. Kudos to the great service, but a thumbs down for the subpar materials.

Avoid buying from this seller if you're in the U.S.

I recently bought a $200 backpack for my son, only for him to receive a $90 bill from the courier after delivery. He wasn't even the purchaser; I was, yet he was billed for duty fees. The company fails to disclose this information during purchase. Expect to be charged significantly more. Steer clear of this seller!

Unsatisfactory experience - avoid this service

I had a poor experience with this service. I ordered an expensive coat, but they sent the wrong size and charged me for the return. After a week of no response about the correct item, they eventually claimed they refunded me, but I see no sign of it in my bank account. Their customer service is lacking, and they even suggested I could repurchase the item. It's hard to trust them to send the correct item if I decide to reorder.

Frustrating service experience

This company is frustrating to deal with. Their claims of easy returns are completely misleading. It was a nightmare just to get a pair of shoes. They also misled customers about using alternate carriers during a strike. The customer service was rude and unhelpful. I recommend avoiding this seller.

Excellent bike purchasing experience

We had been considering buying bikes for a while and found the perfect ones during a visit to the store for something else. A staff member was incredibly helpful, ensuring the bikes were set up correctly, fitting all the extras we purchased, and making sure we had the right helmets. His expertise made for a wonderful bike buying experience.

Buyer beware - inadequate online service

I had to reach out multiple times regarding an online order. Initially, they couldn't locate the product, then it was sent to my address but didn’t arrive due to a strike. After several contacts, I was told my refund was processed, but it wasn't. Customer service was rude and unhelpful, leading to a frustrating experience. I won’t be back, and I advise others to shop in-store only.

Avoid international purchases

I do not recommend ordering internationally. My order was returned to the store without explanation, resulting in a loss of $70. Additionally, customer service response times were slow.
