Very disappointing
1★ – Very frustrating experience with online order & customer service I had a really disappointing experience with Bass Pro Shops Canada (basspro.ca) trying to purchase a Mercury 9.9 outboard that was listed on sale. The website clearly showed the motor as available and allowed me to go through the full checkout process, including entering all my information and selecting ship-to-store. After that, everything fell apart. I was told conflicting information from multiple sources, and no one seemed to take ownership of the issue. The store told me to contact customer support. Customer support told me to speak with the Abbotsford store manager. I was also told I would receive a callback from the store—which never happened. I just kept getting the runaround with no resolution. In the end, they would not honour the sale price, even though the listing error was clearly on their website. That’s extremely frustrating as a customer who acted in good faith. Because of all the delays and confusion, it also ended up impacting a fishing trip my son and I had planned. If I had known this would happen, I could have gone to another store from the beginning and avoided the whole situation. To make matters worse, communication just stopped altogether—my emails eventually went unanswered, and the item was removed from the website shortly after. From my perspective, that only added to the frustration and lack of transparency. On top of that, email responses felt generic and impersonal, like they were generated by AI, which didn’t help address the actual issue or provide any real support. Overall, this experience left me feeling like they don’t stand behind their advertised pricing or value their customers’ time. I expected better from a major outdoor retailer. Very disappointed.
