Our Promise

At Mountain Sports, we want you to love your new items. If something isn't right, we make it easy (and free!) to return or exchange your purchase within the guidelines below.

Return Eligibility and Timeframe

• Returns and exchanges are free for 30 days from the day you receive your order, with the exception of oversized items (see below).

• You can choose a refund to your original payment method, an exchange, or store credit.

• Items must be unused and in original condition, including all tags, packaging, and accessories.

• Please do not use the shoe box or product packaging as the shipping box. Please place it inside a separate shipping carton.

Items That Cannot Be Refunded (Unless Defective)

For everyone's safety and due to industry standards, the following items are not refundable unless they arrive defective:

• Climbing gear (harnesses, carabiners, ropes, etc.)

• Food items

• Water filters

• Cut cord/rope

• Special order items

If you believe one of these items is defective, contact us so we can review your situation and make it right.

Oversized Items — $40 Flat Return Shipping Fee

Some bulky products (large tents, certain hard goods, oversized equipment, and similar) ship via oversized carriers and are flagged as Oversized Item on the product page before you complete your order. The flat $40 return shipping fee that applies to these items is disclosed at the time of ordering, so you'll know upfront if your item qualifies.

If you later choose to return the item, the $40 return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund or store credit when your return is processed. The returns portal will surface this fee for you again when you start the return, so there are no surprises.

If your oversized item arrived damaged, defective, or as a result of our error, the $40 fee is waived and return shipping is on us. If you're unsure whether your item qualifies as oversized, or you have questions before placing an order or starting a return, please reach out — we'd rather talk it through with you first so you aren’t caught off guard!

How to Start a Return or Exchange

The fastest way to start a return or exchange is right in our returns portal. Enter your order number and zip code, choose the item(s) you'd like to return or exchange, tell us why, and we'll generate a prepaid shipping label for you on the spot.

• If your return is due to our error or a defective item, shipping is always on us — no exceptions, including no oversized-item fees.
