Great experience overall, fantastic customer service!

by shaneme7, June 8, 2008
Great customer service. I emailed them after I found lower prices at other online stores and they contacted me via email immediately. I was given a direct number and even though I had to leave a message, they called me back within minutes. I spoke with an associate named Nolan and gave him the other sites and price information, and he happily matched every one. I would definitely recommend ordering through Altrec!

Saw a The North Face Denali Hoodie that I've been looking for and found it on Altrec.Com, which they had on sale. So I called customer service to ask more questions about it because of the descriptions giving for the jacket, and Altrec.Com's customer   Read full review...

Outstanding Customer Service!!!!!

by etopper, July 13, 2007
I recently purchased a Sirius 3 tent, as was surprised when attempting to use it for the first time that it did not fit the measurement specifications advertised (manufacturer specs). The length of 84" was actually 76", and being 76" tall (6'4"), meant that I was touching the front and rear of the tent when lying down (not great for wet conditions!).

I explained the tent had been used once, and that I no longer have the original packaging, but Altrec agreed to take the tent back for a refund. The buying experience with altrec.com was very nice, but the customer service and willingness to compensate went above and beyond. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to Drew and the altrec.com team!

Your first stop shop for outdoor gear!

by rocket365, March 27, 2007
I have been completely satisfied with my 3 experiences with Altrec. The selection is extensive and the sale prices are the best around. Free shipping is available for orders over $45, and it is a very quick UPS ground service. They even offer a price match service up to 14 days after the invoice date. The website is easy to navigate, and checkout is quick and easy.

poor customer service re:price match

by tejon2, March 23, 2007
Very unsatisfactory experience, tried to price match, they said they would need to verify product was same season, model, colour and I completely understand that, however they got back to me and said they had spoken to competitor and item was not the same. I called competitor a few minutes later only to have them confirm through their buyers that the item was exactly the same, brought this to their attention and all they could say is "we rely on information other dealer supplies", I am not sure how reliable their "price match" is when an ordinary shopper can obtain more information about a product than their own customer service rep. Hmmmm.... Campmore had way better price, and found several other sites that had better prices too!

Great Outdoor Store!

by sksmyth, March 18, 2005
Great first time shopping experience with Altrec.
They not only had the best selection of the type of shoes that I wanted, they had the best price on them. They shipped them for free and then threw in a bonus item and magazine subscription! Then, a couple of weeks later, they asked me to review the item for their site and gave me another 10%off to use on a future order.
I would definitely shop here again soon!

Cheap Prices, Impressive Packing/Shipping

by garushan, February 28, 2005
I ordered a North Face backpack, and it shipped the next day. I received it on time 2 days later with no problems. The backpack came in a giant box, with lots of padding. I was surprised that Altrec didn't stuff my backpack into a tiny box to save space and $$ as I had paid for the cheapest shipping. These guys really know how to impress, and their prices are some of the best too! I opened the box and found out that they even included a free fleece headband - and in navy blue, not yellow or something that would make you believe it was overstock and couldn't be sold. The next time I want to search for a backpack or jacket, I'm heading over to Altrec.

Great prices, fast service and good supply of in stock items.

I use Altrec regularly. They always ship extremely quickly.

Another super plus I've discovered is they pay the postage for returns!

Handles return of equipment well

by rodkcos, July 27, 2004
I bought some outdoor gear at altrec.com.
I was not 100% satisfied (the gear was fine, but I had
different expectations on what the gear could do),
and altrec.com quickly took care of my return.

Said in stock but wasn't.

by scarlet33, April 28, 2004
I'm not happy with my order. I ordered a product that was listed in stock and 24 hours later I get a phone call message saying that the product is NOT in stock and my order was cancelled. I wasn't even given the option of backordering. They said to reorder in 2-4 weeks. No thanks, I'll go somewhere else.

Excellent

by brodyt3, February 4, 2004
I have ordered several times from Altrec and received prompt delivery. The customer service is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. One item I ordered went on sale the next week so I wrote an email asking for the sale price. My account was credited, although Altrec failed to contact me. However, their willingness to give me the discounted price was great. I will continue to order from them in the future.

Excellent online company to purchase gear from.

by cbrcobra, January 6, 2004
Great price fast and inexpensive shipping. And great gear to boot. Price of the item I got was nearly $100 cheaper than the nearest competitor. I will definitely shop at Altrec again.

Easy Web site, order shipped promptly, for just-in-time Ground delivery.

by sasr0628, December 24, 2003
I ordered 4 pairs of snow-shoes a week before Christmas, and took a chance that the free ground shipping would reach me by Dec 24th. The next day, I realized how foolish it would be to rely on ground shipping from West coast to East coast this late so I called Altrec customer service to upgrade to 2 day shipping. The good news was that my complete order had shipped within 12 to 24 hours of being placed, the bad news was that it was too late to upgrade to faster shipping (I was warned not to expect the order in time for Christmas). The best news was that the complete order still arrived by noon on the 24th! Perfect timing, we're very happy with our buying experience!
