In-Store Pickup
Can I pickup my order in-store?
Yes! We offer FREE IN-STORE PICKUP on any item*!
*Choose from one of our local brick-and-mortar shops for Free Order Pickup! Please click on "Pick up" as the "Delivery method" at Checkout, then a list of locations that have the item(s) in stock will become visible below. All of the items in the cart must be in stock at a single location in order for a Pick up location to be available. If you run into an error selecting "Pick up" at Checkout, it is likely because one or more item(s) in your cart are unavailable at a single location.

Please try breaking up your Cart into individual Pick up orders or reach out to us at customercare@highcountryoutfitters.com for assistance.
Returns
What is your return policy?
You have up to 30 days from your order date to submit a return request in our Return Portal, except for our holiday return period outlined below. Items must be in new condition with manufacturer’s tags and packaging. Shoes must be returned in their original box. Shipping labels should not be placed on the shoe box (yes, it’s happened!). Damaged shoe boxes will incur a 25% deduction of the refund total as a restocking fee.
What can't I return?
- Clearance items (50% off or greater) are not eligible for refunds but are eligible for exchange or store credit.
- Due to safety and hygienic concerns, we do not accept returns of the following: Climbing Gear, Undergarments (socks and underwear), Water Filters, Theraguns
Can I get free return shipping?
We do offer options for free return shipping! If you choose to exchange your purchase for another size or color or take your refund in the form of store credit, we will cover the cost of return shipping. Otherwise, $9.95 is deducted from the refund total for returns that are refunded to the original form of payment.
When does High Country Outfitters not supply a return shipping label?
In the majority of cases, we do provide a shipping label for your return. The only exceptions are in-store purchases and returns totaling over $300. Online retailers have recently become targets of a coordinated return scam that relies on manipulating return labels to cause a delivery error. Those scammers can then claim their return shipment got lost, despite never actually shipping the return items and demanding a refund. To circumvent this, we’ve had to establish a threshold for providing return labels. In these cases, we will refund the entire refund total rather than deducting a shipping fee.
Can I return something I bought in-store via shipping?
You sure can! However, for in-store purchases we do not provide a shipping label. You can ship with a carrier of your choosing to the below address. Please be sure to include proof of purchase and contact information. We will refund the purchase total to the original form of payment.

Uh oh! Somebody doesn’t know you as well as they thought. No worries, though! Gifts can be returned for store credit so you can shop for yourself. We do not provide shipping labels for gift returns. You may ship with a carrier of your choice to the below address. Include a note requesting a gift return with the following information:

What is the holiday return period?
We offer an extended return period for the holidays! Purchases made in-store or online on or after November 1st are eligible for return or exchange up to 30 days after the purchase date or through January 5th, whichever is later.
Exchanges
What is the exchange process?
It is super easy! After confirming inventory on our website for the requested exchange item, simply go to our Return Portal to request an exchange. Let us know the size and color you are hoping to swap for. We will review the request, get the requested item set aside, and approve the request. A return label will be generated and sent to your inbox. Once the return item is delivered, we’ll process the exchange and get your requested item shipped to you. We cover all shipping costs for this process!
Can I exchange for a different product?
We can only approve return requests for a different size or color of the same product. However, to get a different item, you can request a store credit return to get free return shipping and place an order using the code we send to you.
Can I return an exchange for a refund?
Yes, however, our Return Portal doesn’t think you can and will mark your order as already returned. You’ll have to reach out to us customercare@highcountryoutfitters.com to request a return label. A $9.95 return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund.
Refunds
How long will it take to receive my refund?
After initiating the refund, the amount of time to process depends on your bank. You can usually expect a refund to come through within 3 business days.
Does High Country Outfitters offer adjustments for price changes?
We do! A price adjustment may be requested within 14 business days of your original order date. We will refund the price difference if the same season, style, color and size of your purchased item is in stock.
Can I get a refund for a delivery that has gone missing?
If you discover tracking is showing your shipment as delivered, but you can’t find it, please check with your neighbors first. If the shipment is still missing please alert us immediately at customercare@highcountryoutfitters.com. We will initiate a claim investigation with the carrier. If they determine there was a delivery error on their end, we will ship a replacement. If the item is out of stock, we will issue a refund.
Summit Club
How does the Summit Club work?
If you joined our Summit Club in the past (before August 1, 2024), you are already a Member. If not, you can enroll at all High Country Outfitters stores, or online here. It is free to join.
Summit Club in stores: Once you are enrolled, simply provide the email address associated with your account at checkout at any of our locations to earn points on eligible purchases and redeem rewards.
Summit Club online: Simply login to your rewards account on highcountryoutfitters.com to earn points on eligible purchases and view/redeem rewards.
How can I earn points?
Earn 1 point for every $1 you spend [online or in-store]. Each time you spend, you will receive an email with your updated points balance. There are also plenty of other ways to earn loyalty points under the Earn tab of your loyalty profile, including following us on Instagram and referring friends. Use your points to redeem rewards, or save them up to unlock even more exciting rewards.
*Excluding gift cards, services, shipping, taxes, and fees.
When will my rewards show up in my profile?
~15 minutes following a purchase, your rewards will be reflected in your profile. Each time you shop online, you will receive an email with your updated points balance. From here, you can click through to your loyalty profile, where you can redeem rewards.
How do I use my rewards?
When you have enough points to unlock a reward, you'll be able to redeem it for a unique reward coupon. You can use your reward coupon during checkout. Just copy and paste your unique code into the Discount bar and click 'Apply'. Note, you can only use one coupon code per order. Or, if you would like to use your reward in-store, just let us know at checkout.
What can I use my Summit Club rewards on?
ALL merchandise, including sale, clearance and special orders. Exclusions are gift cards, services, shipping, taxes, and fees.
Will my points expire?
If you haven't earned or spent your rewards within 12 months of being earned, they will expire. Points/rewards expiry is set on a rolling basis. If you haven’t earned or spent them within the set timeframe, your loyalty points balance will automatically reset to zero. You will be notified via email before your points are about to expire.
How can I move up tiers?
Spend $250+ in one year to get to Basecamp, spend $500+ in one year to get to Expedition, spend $1,000+ in one year to get to Summit. If you qualify for a certain tier, you’ll enjoy that status for the entire year from when you enrolled in the Summit Club. See our rewards table above for the benefits these tiers deliver.
What happens if I make a return after having used a reward in my purchase?
When a customer returns the item that they've purchased using a reward, we will automatically take back the points they earned from that purchase. They will get a refund for the amount they paid in the transaction. If a return is processed on a sale with a coupon applied, the coupon & points cost is forfeited by the customer.
For example:
- A customer makes a purchase in the amount of $70 and they use their 500 points to redeem a $20 off coupon, they will pay $50 total and earn 50 points.
- Then they change their mind and do a full return on that transaction, making their total -$50. They will automatically lose 50 points.
*Exclusions may apply. For further details on our loyalty program, see our Terms & Conditions.
