Backcountry uses DoorDash for "last-mile" delivery in the city, but their security standards are nonexistent. In my case, the driver dropped my package in an unsecure, open area and failed to ring the doorbell or knock. Despite the fact that I worked from home on the day specifically to ensure I was present for deliveries, the package was stolen by a porch pirate before I even saw the notification. When I contacted customer service, they were completely dismissive. They refused to offer a reorder or investigate the delivery failure, essentially stating that their responsibility ends the moment the package touches the ground--regardless of where or how it was left. If you live in an urban area where package theft is a concern, do not trust this company with your money online. Their "completed delivery" policy offers zero protection against negligent couriers. Unless you can buy it in-store and walk out with it, I recommend taking your business to a retailer with more accountable shipping practices.

My daughter's…read moreoutdoor preschool spends a good deal of time in the elements, and since we're going into the winter months it was time to pick up some stuff that would keep her warm in the frigid weather and snow. Our bank account took a hit today for sure. But the items you find here are going to last, so that's the silver lining. My first stop today in my cold weather shopping spree was a children's consignment store in the suburbs, and happened to find a Patagonia snow bib there in near perfect condition so that made me feel much better about the investment. Here at the Patagonia store, I bought a snow jacket, some fleece pants and a base layer pant, and a hat. We wandered into the Worn Wear section and they had a small section of children's items there, too, where I picked up another pair of fleece and a pair of snow pants. Their children's section was a bit smaller than I anticipated. They had coats, snow bibs, some pants, and so on, but they only had a single size of each at most. But I was able to get what I needed with the exception of a neck warmer, and I will admit to being a bit surprised they didn't carry that sort of item. They had a small play area! I wasn't expecting that at all but it definitely helped with a finicky two year old who woke from a car nap when we got to this store. It's not much--a small table with some blocks and a shape sorter--but it was enough for her to have fun and keep her occupied while I was deciding what I wanted which is worth a looooooooT. Parking was astonishingly easy for an early Saturday afternoon. We found a spot immediately and there were others around too. It is toward the outer edge of the Fulton Market district, but I still was expecting to have to drive around for a while or abandon the excursion altogether. Pay to park using the ParkChicago app.

It can be overwhelming with the choices and they helped us narrow it down to our exact needs.

Now I want to cover the real value. I am a 60-year-old beginner who recently took a two day motorcycle rider safety class in preparation for the road test. I'm not afraid to acknowledge that I am an over thinker, which sometimes results in a bit of anxiety. Marty and Carlos found a way to meet me where I was in terms of capability and mindset. Yes, they were great instructors. Yes, I passed the test. That is not what made my experience great. Marty and Carlos made it great by meeting me at a human level with caring and kindness until I was ready to go take the test. As always seems to be the case, the people make the difference. I highly recommend utilizing their service and working with these guys. You won't be disappointed.

If you ignore my advice and use them for service, take a video with SOUND of the entire outside of your ride with the engine running so you have proof of condition! They charge a diagnostic fee NOT applicable to your final bill and want half the money up front. Prior to service, my Vino was so quiet, I had to take my helmet off to hear it running. When I brought it in for service, a customer asked what I was riding because "it was so quiet, I didn't hear it." He and Chris (desk guy) were joking they like loud bikes like Harleys. I said mine is quiet, like a Caddy and I like it that way. Brought Vino in 6/20/2023 for a sticky throttle. City Scooter said Vino needed new tires, and tacked on a $60 upcharge. Vino was "ready" July 6. Hubby picked up July 7. I started it, engine was beyond loud, like a chainsaw, NOT the quiet ride I dropped off. It had greasy fingerprints and liquid streaks all over. I found 4 large bolts and a washer under the seat. The steering column was out of alignment with the front fork. I brought it back July 13th to have the noise and alignment fixed, and handed over the 4 loose bolts. Desk guy's response? "Our bad." So after staff discussed how loud all scooters sound, I basically was called a liar for saying my Vino runs much louder than before "service." I say anyone who forgets to put parts back on a scooter can't be trusted to tell the truth. I was given nothing but excuses: the air filter might be bad (well, you guys put a new one in, so why not swap it out? Are your parts bad? Did you somehow miss another important step, like when Marty forgot to re-install 4 important bolts?); the engine noise was masked by the dirty air filter (too ridiculous to refute); "it might be the crankshaft" (why put NEW tires on my scooter and perform maintenance if that is what you thought?!!); "all bikes run that loud, we've heard worse" (wow, just... wow); "I'm not saying you're lying but" (another wow). I'd brought it back three times before they mentioned "crankshaft." 8/5 I call to speak to Jeff Wunderlich. "He's not available. I'll have him call you back." Jeff calls when I'm not home; has a heated convo with my hubby, who recorded him. Jeff kept insisting they didn't "touch the engine." You don't need to touch the engine to ruin it, you only need to drain the oil...but Jeff doesn't mention they did THAT, of course! An oil change is part of maintenance yet I didn't see an oil change on my bill. And the reason for that is someone drained the oil, then took my Vino for a ride, ruining my scooter's crankshaft bearings. Oki then tried every tactic possible to not let me guess what actually happened. Like the air box would make the Vino run loud. My scooter was so filthy because engine oil sprayed all over it. City Scooters/OKI charged me $1458. I asked for a refund of labor charges. I know Jeff Wunderlich, I used to board his dog Sparticus and he wouldn't admit his dope-smoking employees made a mistake nor refund me one cent. City Scooter said they didn't run the engine before servicing, so how could they tell if it was louder? (Who doesn't start up a bike first before starting to work on it?) What I got from Marty's "work" on my ride: a Vino paperweight. I took it to a real motorcycle repair shop; EPM said the only way the crankshaft bearings could go bad were if the scooter was run without enough oil in it. They said riding any longer would cause engine failure and my Vino was no longer safe to ride. City Scooter deserves ZERO stars for killing my beloved 18-year-old Vino.
