Don't waste your time. They couldn't even get me a simple order. Use Moosejaw or one the many other options for outdoor gear.

I have had trouble receiving two deliveries in a row due to their use of what must be the least reliable shipper in the country, Lasership. This shipper has a perfect record of losing or at least delaying delivery of my packages

I received two camping stools from this company. One had a cracked plastic foot on one leg. I requested a replacement plastic part over a dozen times and they have not responded to me in any case at any time. I would never buy anything from them again and will be disputing my Credit Card charge tomorrow.

I ordered a pair of ski boots and bindings on a Sunday night and paid for 3-5 day shipping so I could have them mounted for a weekend trip to Mt. Adams. The whole week their tracking system said that S&C had created a label but OnTrac hadn't received the package yet. On day 6, I called OnTrac to verify... they haven't seen the package. I called S&C and they tried to blame it on On Trac. I finally got the gearhead to admit that they lost my order. I threatened to cancel the order and they agreed to re-ship it overnight. That was Tuesday and today is Thursday. UPS' tracking system says that S&C has created a label but that UPS hasn't received the package yet. S&C's tracking system says that it has shipped and will arrive today. THEN, I got another email from someone who told me that the order is a split shipment and that one item is coming from Utah and one is coming from Virginia. WTF? I can't get a straight answer out of anyone and they certainly aren't opposed to lying to you. Now I can't even get them to respond.

After reading the terrible reviews I was hesitant, but decided to take a chance since the hard to find boots I wanted were 50%. They arrived within two days and were exactly what I ordered. Very satisfied!

I bought an expensive jacket that arrived with a nonfunctional zipper. The vendor is charging me return shipping for their garbage.

There have been changes and yes times items I was slightly confused about. This is an auction site, with gear from previous years. Yes I've had snags in socks, or ordered too small or big. That's on me for not getting a measurement. Steep n cheep has been with me all over the world and I got to sat I know I can always find a deal. I keep my expectations real and the products are legitimate so I find this company and it's other affiliates affordable and convenient.

Try putting something in your cart on Steep & Cheap and let it sit there for a few weeks to watch the prices fluctuate depending on the particular sale. I did this with two items while I debated whether to splurge or not and I was shocked how the prices went up when the company offered a sale (say $40 off a $200 purchase) and back down again when the sale expired. If you read this review and others here, I think the theme will become clear. This is a company with shady practices. For some, the deal might be worth it; for me, I'd rather support a company that has the same kind of values I try to uphold in the backcountry.

This is how they treat you when they send you the wrong product. In fact, they pictured a product they didn't even have in stock to begin with. I'll be returning the shoes ASAP. Seriously, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Dogfunk.com was WAY better than backcountry.com (which owns steep and cheap and they bought out dogfunk). Steep because they're full of themselves and cheap because they're slimy.

I am shopping from Backcountry from last more than 5 years. They were really good with top customer service. I spend thousands of dollars on outdoor gear each year. Recently their customer service went really downhill and really rude. They are more focused on sponsoring youtubers and giving them free gears than giving a good customer service. I am switching to Mossejaw and Campsaver and they are way better. Moosejaw's outlet website will charge you for a freaking shipping. Stay away from Backcountry!
