Half of order went to back-order

Half of order went to back-order, but didn't get an email telling me. Finally had to call and research where the order was.

Need to improve communication when items are on backorder. Time of ordering, right after. etc...

Good customer service

My item was backordered which I saw when ordering. Once I purchased I received an email from the company just letting me know it was on backorder in case I hadn't noticed prior. I appreciated this as it is a rare gesture. Item still arrived within a week so I was impressed either way.

Product was correct

Product was correct. One item in stock and the other had to be ordered in. Took over a month to receive, which was longer than their estimate. Had to inquire once and from that point on they sent timely updates.
Past orders have been on time. Would use again.

The customer service was good but it…

The customer service was good but it took my order about 6 weeks to get to me when it was only supposed to take up to 10 days! Somehow my order wasn't on the shipments? Im not really sure how that happens. But the contact was quick to answer my questions so that was really nice!

excellent service!

I received an email letting me know items are backordered. And I got them in priority mail once they have them.

Product was perfect

Product was perfect, and it arrived incredibly quickly. In fact, I was waiting for a notice that it shipped, and it arrived on my doorstep within 2 days. So you might consider tightening up your 'shipping confirmation' process. Other than that, I'm recommending your site to a friend, who should be buying what I bought in the next week.

Great company and products

Great company and products. I ordered the Marmot Minimalist jacket, it was back ordered do to the sale they were having. But I received an email right after my purchase letting me know when it would be re-stocked. I received the jacket faster than I was expecting. Very fast shipping and great communication.

Will be purchasing from this sit again.
Thank you.
