Nothin' says lovin' like the gift of gear. Isn't that how the saying goes? In any case, the recipient of one of our slick electronic “Gear” Certificates will love the convenience of receiving a gift via email that they can immediately redeem online. With thousands of the best outdoor products, Backcountry.com has something for everyone. You can order multiple gear certificates for the same amount at once, and can send each to a different person if you'd like. After you click ‘Add To Shopping Cart,' you'll need to enter the name of the intended recipient. If you want the gift certificate to go immediately to the intended recipient, enter their email address. If you would prefer to forward the gift certificate to them on a later date, enter YOUR email address so you can forward the certificate when you like. To order certificates for *different* amounts or names, you must order each separately—after you've added the first certificate to your cart and completed the recipient information, click ‘Continue Shopping,' and make your way to the gift certificate page once again. To do this conveniently, enter "Gift Certificate" in our Search box. *Gift Certificates expires 2 years from the date of purchase. **GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE SENT VIA EMAIL; RECIPIENTS WILL NOT RECEIVE A HARD COPY.
Everybody love backcountry.com, so a gift cert is a great idea—BUT make sure you realize that they don't send them out immediately. So if you're doing last minute shopping, you should realize that the person you're ordering for won't receive their e-gift for about 24 hours.
Site's great and so is a certificate to shop--as I think everyone so far has said. The caveat however, is that the cert does not come right away. I realize that backcountry.com gets tons of orders and couldn't possibly instantaneously get them all done. My point being though, this process could use more automation, as no physical goods are changing hands. My reasoning is that people are using this as a quick fix idea for others or themselves. Making people wait is the opposite of why a person got the cert.
Come on.....what can you really say in a review about a gift certificate!?! Okay, every time I've gotten them they've shown up to the recipient within 1-2 hours of purchase, if you get them before the afternoon mountain time, otherwise sometimes they can take overnight. And they work at the coolest gear store on the planet:)
