Wow!! Have never experience such a thing with such a major brand. I have tried for 2 weeks to cancel an online order that was placed for store pickup and I literally cannot even reach their customer service department! On hold for ages and they say “leave your number for a customer service rep to call you back.” Did that 2 times no one ever called. Thought I’d try their chat box online, after waiting forever it said “leave an email as wait times are longer than usual.” So I sent an email and no response for 2 weeks. This is absolutely insane. I need the credit back on my card and cannot reach any form of customer service, this is not okay. I thought I’d try their head office but can’t even reach a human to speak with.

I've been purchasing outdoors gear from MEC for close to two decades. In the past I've had plenty of good experiences. Not any more though, apparently.

I ordered a pair of boots online. Got a confirmation message in my email box that said they would ship soon. Waited more than a week and the boots weren't shipped. So I called the customer service number. I was stuck on hold for about 20 minutes and couldn't get through, so figured that I'd try their online chat service. Again, waited more than 20 minutes in their online chat and no customer rep showed up to chat with. Finally I tried emailing customer support. Wrote a detailed email including the order number, my member number, and exactly what the problem was. I got a response email saying that email requests usually take no more than a day. Waited three more days - no response.

Made another phone call, this time I just stayed on the line until a customer rep would talk to me (took more than half an hour on hold). She told me that the boots had been shipped to the wrong warehouse and that she would fix it. But she couldn't tell me when I would get the boots shipped to me, or why they hadn't been sent to me. And I have no way of knowing if my order is on it's way. It has now been two days since that phone call and I still have no boots or shipping notice.

I guess I'll have to contact them again and try to cancel the order.

Much like most reviews here, online experience is horrendous. If MEC management needs help fixing their e-commerce experience, they can reach out to me and I would be happy to consult and fix their customer experience.

For a giant retailer, they sure have no clue on how to do ecom. You're getting orders cancelled left and right, at the same time tarnishing your brand.

Waiting over a week for an order with no updates, customer service can't tell you anything at all. Just invest money and you'll get money in return.

Ordered an item online, followed up at my local store as I was not receiving any updates. They reported they were having computer issues. They called customer service and I was told my item would be priority shipped to my store. Followed up one week later with customer service to be told the item I ordered was out of stock and they are cancelling my order. Such a frustrating ordeal!!!!!!

I ordered an item to be picked up instore, but never got to. Usually the store would refund after no pickups, but MEC never did. I tried to contact them, and they never replied to my request.

Virtually impossible to contact at any time during the day or get help with products from people on the floor. Used to be a great company now i avoid them at all costs. I used to put up with the crap as they have a decent variety but now i'd rather buy online from elsewhere and avoiding them all together.

They cancelled my order saying out of stock 2 weeks after ordering. It supposed to be a birthday gift. No way to contact them at all online.
Now after 8 days of cancellation. My credit card debit is still pending making it out of balance to buy other things.
Do not buy from this site!

I'm very disappointed with the customer service at mce .ordered a bike on line on 21.09. Then calling them after apr.10 days to find out what's going on with delivery. I was told they don't have my bike order,not even a trace !
Sent them my confirmation email for this bike order still no answer after 2days !!.This is scandal! Very discouraged and disappointed with your company.I will not recommend you to anyone.

I ordered two camping chairs, one of which never showed up. After many emails, phone calls and months of waiting, it was determined that the chair is lost and out of stock indefinitely. I needed a matching set, so now I have to return the one chair to the post office. It has been such a hassle. I will get a refund on them - but the customer service from the co-op days went from great, to awful. It's a complete tragedy that the board sold out all the co-op members and didn't explore any other options to remedy fiscal insolvency. The new company is clearly milking the brand for all it's worth, and all those community assets, good will, and effort is completely lost. Boy does it show.

Title: Disheartening Experience at MEC Barrie Store - Hoping for Resolution

I've been a loyal customer of Mountain Equipment Co-op for a quarter of a century, having shopped at various locations across the country. However, my recent encounter at the Barrie Store has left me quite disappointed and frustrated. I'm writing this review in the hope that my concerns will be addressed and that MEC will continue to be the reliable brand I've trusted for so long.

During a recent camping trip, the tent poles of the tent my wife and I purchased from the Barrie Store unexpectedly broke on their very first use. Given our history with MEC, we were hopeful for a quick and satisfactory resolution. Unfortunately, the response we received from the store's staff was far from the exceptional customer service I've come to expect. They declined to replace the broken poles and instead offered a repair option at our own expense.

Despite our disappointment, we agreed to the repair and left the tent poles at the store. To our dismay, the repair process dragged on for an excessive three months. When we finally received word that the poles were fixed, we made a long drive to the store only to find that the poles were still broken. This experience has not only inconvenienced us but has also shaken our faith in the quality of service provided by MEC.

As a dedicated customer who has supported MEC for over two decades, I believe it's important to share feedback when expectations are not met. In light of this situation, I'm suggesting the following resolutions:

1. Replacement of the broken tent poles without any additional charges, given the evident lack of durability on their first use.
2. A thorough review of the repair process and communication protocols at the Barrie Store to prevent future lengthy delays and inaccuracies.
3. A reevaluation of the customer service standards in place at the Barrie Store to ensure they align with the high reputation MEC has maintained.

I sincerely hope that MEC takes my feedback seriously and takes appropriate actions to rectify this situation. I want to continue relying on MEC for my outdoor gear needs as I've done for many years.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your response and look forward to a timely resolution.

No good. Arrogant, rude, unfriendly. Ain't worth my money. I am not shopping there no more.

I called the bike shop to inquire if they could swap out my fat tire ebike tires. I was informed they could and the cost was $20 per tire. I loaded up my bike and took it into the shop to be informed they couldn't work on the bike as it was not a "mainstream bike". My bike is a Rad Rover 5 and has been worked on by other shops. Deeply disappointed in the poor communication and lack of service. My business will go elsewhere.

Forty years of good service and easy returns. MEC has great selection of products both in store and online. I've never had a problem returning an item wheather it be a defect or my own sizing misstake.

So many different products here and some great deals if you snoop around a bit. Customer service is always top notch. I am happy with all my experiences shopping here and feel confident that they will assist me if I have a problem.One minus - some products are quite expensive.

Customer service and customer satisfaction is a key factor in business success. You have no sense of how to treat your customers. Poor behaviour, poor management, poor Human Resources management this how we can describe your business and it’s customer service system

your behaviour with Amir Qasemzadeh is not acceptable

I am pretty sure this company does not care about the reviews but still need to write to inform the people who have a plan to buy anything from this company. Do not expect costumer service at all. They gathered all the rude and impolite people in the world to serve you!! There is no refund, no return, and in case you ask for it you will be kicked out of the store and remain with several injuries.

The worst customer service and failure to respect customer rights…
