Campsaver Reviews

Their inventory and shipping times are fanciful dreams. I've ordered from CampSaver many times hoping it'd be different, believing the excuses they give me, and I've finally decided to just give up and know that, well, they're just that: excuses for a poorly run business with a horrible logistics operation that hides behind small text, disclaimers, and plays fast and loose with facts & math.

The crux of it is this: if you say you can ship something on time, in a given time frame, and especially if I pay extra for a given level of service, I expect that kind of service. Not in an unreasonable way, I know things aren't perfect (esp in a pandemic/post-pandemic world where labor and other items are still recovering), but every time I order from CampSaver, they never ship on time, and it takes so long I have to call to cancel (and you can't cancel it online despite them saying you can... if you can, I've never been given the option), and when it happens consistently (every time) the excuses about "longer than normal warehouse times" or "product availability wasn't properly updating on our website, sorry, just a one time bug" or similar become really patronizing and just aren't believable, they're either lying or so poorly run these issues are systemic, constant, and they should just not make any commitments. Neither reason is good at all!

Sure, they cancel the order and I get my refund eventually (thus not only one star, that's reserved for outright scams...), but this isn't much better. It feels like they take your order HOPING they have inventory (even if they say they have it, I have waited up to 10 business days for it to ship before I just gave up) and if they have it and their warehouse can get it together to put it in a box and send it, they ship it, I guess, but otherwise, they just hold on to your money until you ask for it back.

Their prices aren't much better than Backcountry, REI, Moosejaw, etc, but their warehousing & logistics operations are absolutely a disaster.

Camp saver completely dropped the ball with my last purchase.

I ordered several items, 1 that was on backorder. An email said the backordered item wouldn't be available until the next month. Fine, I can deal with that. Two weeks go by and there's no word about the items that weren't on backorder. I wrote to customer service and they kept telling me the one item was on backorder but didn't mention the others. This went on until the backordered item was finally available almost A MONTH after I ordered and everything was shipped.

I contacted them again to see why everything else wasn't shipped while waiting for the backordered item. Their excuse: To keep shipping free, we try to do it all together. Yet, the backordered item was shipped an entirely different method than the rest of the stuff. That means they could have shipped everything else MUCH earlier and then the last item when it arrived. I bought everything for a camping trip and thanks to how long they took shipping everything, I wasn't able to take it along.

They let me order shoes that aren’t in stock without telling ahead.
Thank god I needed the shoes to arrive in a specific time. that made me check with their mail service about the arrival of the shipment, then realised they even dont have the shoes and they are waiting for them to get back in stock so they would ship them to me - in three months from my date of order.

It’s written 8-10 business days the day I order.

I ordered a smoker, and 14 days later, the order was "still processing."

I contacted customer sercive twice and received 2 different stories about why the smoker was delayed. I was promised a shipping confirmation next day, and I never got it

I placed an order on a Saturday for an item I really, really needed for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. This was after Amazon messed it up. Their "risk management" department came back with a handful of intrusive and ridiculous questions about the item's purpose, end user, and final destination. Okay, I thought, I'll play your stupid game because I have no choice. My clock is ticking. It then sat there for FIVE DAYS while I practically begged them to release it. Nope. I wound up canceling, and now I don't have this thing I counted on having. They don't care even a little. Heed the horrible reviews and don't shop here.

Ordered Blackstone Grill on 9-8-21 for & $79.99. We have received no grill or correspondence. Everyone who is unhappy with them should contact the Chamber of Commerce in their city and the Better Business Bureau as I am going to do. If people don't complain they will continue to rip them off.

One of the top 3 worst shopping experiences ever, not worth even one star. Placed order and paid when there were a couple dozens of items in stock, 4 days later I hear back saying my order was cancelled because the product is not available.

Campsaver.com customer service is outstanding! Vickie was very helpful, friendly, professional, and efficient. She stood behind the campsaver.com price match guarantee and cheerfully issued me a refund for the difference between the sale price and the original price of the boots that I purchased. I will definitely order from this site again.
