Big Agnes has a worthless warranty that the company does not honor…read more After my Copper Spur HV UL1 tent rainfly zipper failed after just a half-dozen uses -- causing me to abandon a backpacking trip -- the company would not fix the zipper or replace the rainfly, in opposition to its stated warranty policy. Simply put, Big Agnes does not stand behind its products or honor its warranty. And once I started looking into it online, a lot of people have the same terrible experience with this company. First off, the customer service is very slow, no more than one message returned a day even if you respond instantly to a received message. There's no reason for such laziness. Eventually I submitted photos and Big Agnes said it would be a $20 fix. I had to pay to ship the item; no free label was offered. Once my damaged rainfly was received, Big Agnes claimed coil damage on the zipper and refused to fix or replace the item. Ultimately, Big Agnes would not honor this part of its warranty policy: "If a replacement product is not available credit will be given for the original purchase price when returned with a receipt." Instead, Big Agnes offered a lesser $225 credit (less than the price I paid, and I have the receipt) for me to use to buy full-priced gear in its online store. The current price of a new Copper Spur 1-person tent is $450. So I'd have to spend another $225 after using my rainfly (damaged) and tent, stakes, and footprint (undamaged) as trade-in credit. Why would I spend money on gear from a company that, if it fails again, will not be supported? I've found other people on Big Agnes' Facebook reviews page, Reddit, and elsewhere complaining about similar poor treatment. Here's the bait-and-switch scam: Big Agnes can claim whatever it wants about how gear failed in order to get out of honoring its warranty. Big Agnes' customer service blamed me for the zipper failure and suggested I try a heavier-duty product instead. No, I've used ultralight gear before without issue, including another UL tent that's lasted me since 2012. Your zipper failed, Big Agnes -- that's on you, not me. I've rarely had gear failures on similar high-priced outdoors gear, but when it has happened, other companies have made things right -- by honoring their warranty policies. It's one of the main reasons why we are willing to spend top dollar on gear: In the event it fails, typically out in the field, a typically easy warranty claim can be made later. Why not just replace it and keep a customer happy? By refusing to honor your warranty, Big Agnes not only lost a customer but created a hater. I hope this review convinces any prospective buyers of Big Agnes equipment to avoid this brand. Use an outfitter or retailer that stands behind its products and warranty policies. Big Agnes ain't it. The accompanying photos show many other people's similar poor experience with this company.

Reserved it online, but the price was higher when we got there, I asked about the rate I had reserved it at (and had digital receipt). The checkin guy was friendly and said the system wasn't updating, and it'll be right when we check out. It wasn't, it was about $100 higher, when I asked the cashier he got really defensive, another guy tried to step in and help, but he wouldn't have it. In the end they honored the price, but his final words to me, in a sarcastic tone, "Are you happy now?" Will never go back. Also, if you have any issues with your fitting and need to exchange it's a hassle, getting off the mountain and driving there. I'd stick with Christy Sports, Steamboat Sports or Fleischer.
