Awful company to deal with. Claims of easy returns is utterly a lie. What a debacle just to get a pair of shoes. They also lied about using alternate carriers during Canada Post's impending strik... See more

Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service: misinformed me several times and very rude and curt.

I love shopping at MEC
I love shopping at MEC. It's got everything I need for heading out in the backcountry. Granted, some things are a little pricey but that's what you pay for quality. I would sooner support them than Amazon. I always stop at MEC when I'm in a big city that has one.

Mec stole $5 from me
Mec stole $5 from me. I was told I was buying a membership to a co-op, though recent events have proven that to be false. When I submitted the proper paperwork to have my share refunded I was denied. Do not support this shady company. Take your business to smaller, independent stores.
