Fast and efficient shipping, Great customer service!

I placed an order for an item that was on backorder, and they did a great job of letting me know the estimated ship date and following up when it did ship. The sale price was great, and customer support was super quick and helpful when I sent a question by email.

Better price for Women's Patagonia…

Better price for Women's Patagonia jacket than other websites. Item was back ordered at the time I placed the order. Received excellent communication with updates regarding the status of my order. Arrived much sooner than I expected. Very pleased with their customer service.
