Valhalla Pure Outfitters Bewertungen 

I went to the Vancouver location today where I asked for help with a bag; while there were only 2 customers in the store - I was passed off as everyone was seemingly "too busy". The person I was passed off to, while I already had the backpack I was looking for, I asked them to help adjust it for me to see what it would feel like on my body. He looked at the backpack and said "this is a Small" who told you that this would be your size? (I'm a size 4 / 6 in clothing and told him an employee who actually helped me fit the size up and recommended I come to this store for the small) I took HUGE offence to this based on the way he eyed me up and down; and then proceeded to say "it's fresh out of plastic" unclipped one of the buckles and just handed it to me. I could have done that myself - I was looking for adjustment help for waist and height based on the fact that I'm tall.
I grabbed the backpack and said - don't worry about it - I'll just buy it and have it adjusted at your north van store or MEC.
I was also told by the NV store they price matched - but found out Valhalla Pure Outfitters are each individually owned and don't all price match (NOTE VANCOUVER STORED DOES NOT)
Completely wasted over 2 hours driving here - to be body shamed by an employee who did not know how to adjust multi-day backpacks.

Am posting this everywhere I know as I was completely disgusted with the customer service.

Toujours du très bon service de livraison et marchandise ! 3 commandes, toujours heureuse.

I had purchased a mountaineering bag from VPO. Unfortunately it failed at the ski carry on my first trip. Danielle, from VPO, worked with me to file a warranty claim through the manufacturer.

The customer service from Danielle was amazing. I don't think I've had that level of curtesy and support in a long time. I've switched to VPO outright at this point. They seem like good honest people and Danielle deserves special recognition. I hope whoever is higher up sees this post.

Thank you again Danielle for helping me navigate a frustrating experience with a product. Long live VPO and good by that former coop. At least for me.

I will recommend VPO to everyone.

This business is the best. I was looking for a few pairs of merino socks for my 90 year old dad. Their price was the best online, the delivery was really fast and communication perfect... and my 90 year old dad has his first pairs of premium socks. I cannot thank you enough VPO. Highly recommended!

- Charged 5% restocking ($42!)
- Required a shipping box (boots weren't sent in a shipping box)
- Had to pay return shipping ($32)
- Took them 10 days and two emails after receiving the boots to issue the refund
- Basically cost $75 (edit: $32 - see below) to try on a pair of boots

EDIT

Bumped up to 2 stars because they refunded the restocking fee after reading this review

My package was not delivered . Weird events show up on the Purolator tracking . Safety concern, cannot deliver , Return to sender . I find out Valhalla put the wrong address on the package . How that is possible , I don't know. Stuff happens though . They tell me there will be no refund until they receive the goods back. I waited weeks for the BC to Ontario trip then weeks for the return back to BC . I tell them they took $ 500 from me, didn't supply the goods and I have to wait because of a nonsensical ridiculous policy they have ? I told the clerk there is no scenario where I don't get a refund , so why not refund me right now ??? Own up to YOUR MISTAKES and refund me immediately as a decent company should. No, not going to happen. The return package is in LaLa land now and it could take weeks to get a refund. Never again Valhalla . You need to learn these policies have repercussions. I buy a lot of goods and none will ever go your way again. This is how retail goes bankrupt. Uncaring corporate culture catches up with you eventually . Clerks who don't even question nonsensical policies and follow them blindly likely for fear of their jobs. Good luck.

Item was shipped out next day and arrived 1 day early so that part of the purchase was very good. . I Would have given a 5 star rating except the hiking shoes were clearly worn by someone for an extended period of time….not excessive use ….but the soles were scuffed up so I suspect they were either a display shoe or that someone gave them a light try out and then returned them. The box definitely was not new and looked pretty old. In spite of this I kept the shoes because they were on sale ,they fit well and I really liked the dual lacing system. Having said this I think the company should be disclosing if they are selling shoes that are not in brand new condition regardless if they are on sale . A little disappointed for sure but hopefully they can improve on this because the company offers some good products.

Excellent customer service.

They were trying to charge me more after the fact, after I put my order in. Real rip off, don't deal with those guys.

This company does not accept free shipping returns. You must pay your own shipping back. They will never update you about your return and will even put it back into their own system but neglect and take your time processing your return. Never again will i buy or recommend this company. So many other options out there folks. Free shipping and all. Shop at MEC or SAIL instead. Free shipping returns !!!

Horrible customer service. Generic replies.

While the products VPO offers are certainly good, the shipping and return policy is out of bounds. You pay for shipping, and you pay for returns. Even when I needed to order the same product twice during the Canada Post strike, and they encouraged me to do so in order to receive my order with certainty before Christmas, they wouldn't waive the return shipping charge. All they wanted to offer was to send me a waybill and deduct the shipping charges from my refund. Sorry guys, there are other providers out there that are way more accommodating. Will consider others when ordering next. VPO has had their chance and failed.

Bought Snow Peak products on 2 occasions. Both shipped accurately, one during the Christmas rush and one shortly after. Both arrived in what I considered a very reasonable amount of time with their basic shipping option. Large selection of top quality gear. Thank you

DO NOT PURCHASE! Well over 30 days since my order was shipped. Alerted seller twice nothing received and they ignore every word of my emails and give back a response to say its everyone's fault but there's. Beyond unprofessional.

You have to pay for returns. I had to pay 40 dollars plus to return a backpack. Don’t order from this company.

Awesome crew. Had a hull failure on a borea kayak. The manufacturer called kayak dustrubution in quebec refused to warrantee but VPO new denver went to bat for me

Avoid. Sold something not in stock. Waited forever. Now they say the shipment was declined not even in my city. DO NOT BUY from this unethical seller.

I ordered the wrong size of pants because vpo had them listed in European sizes not Canadian or US sizes. This is a Canadian site. There was no distinction or notation. It cost me $20 to return, no free returns. I was trying to support a Canadian business, should have gone straight to the manufacturer's site they listed the correct sizes and have free returns

Very lengthy delivery time.
Product was OLD stock, different from same product now.
Cannot return because I removed tags before realizing old stock. Customer service indicates I should know it is old stock because it was on sale. How? I asked them... She told me SKU was different from newer stock... Try Altitude Sports from Montreal. Quick shipping and good customer service.

I suspected, from the price of the items I bought, that something was strange. I was right. The people at VPO charged a very fair price for three items that were exactly as described, that were sent to me promptly and included a friendly handwritten note at no extra charge! Now that's strange. But I love it. Thank you VPO!
