Have You ordered from Sierra Trading Post?

They have a great deal on leather Ameribags - 50% off. I don't want to get stuck with a "second" that falls apart in six months. It's possible that this closeout is on colors that they're discontinuing, but it's hard to know. I'd rather pay full price than deal with the hassle. Any experience out there with them?

BTW - if you've never tried these handbags, they're fantastic. I took one to NYC. You can load that sucker up & it seems very light. There is a hook on the inside & I bought the mini-ameribag & hooked it inside. I put my money & I.D. in there. That way, when I opened the purse, it was securely fastened inside. Now, if I'm dashing into the grocery store, I can unhook the little purse & have my money, credit cards, etc. right there. Jeez, I sound like a commercial. :rolleyes:

My experience with them is quite good. If they are seconds, they usually say seconds (for example, they usually have smartwool socks that are marked as seconds). If they don't say they are seconds, they are usually just old stock. For example, the shebeest jerseys, etc. are usually marked 2006 or 2007, but are perfect otherwise. They are also great about returns if you are not satisfied.

I've always been pleased with Sierra Trading Post's products and service.

+1 on positive experience with STP. I've never had a problem. And their return process is a breeze if something doesn't fit or you change your mind.

I've always had very good customer service from them-even when I waited a long time to return something.

I've been buying various things from them for years and have never had a problem.

And if you buy enough, you get to be a preferred customer (or something) and they send you coupons all the time. Don't ask me how I know this.

I've ordered from STP quite a few times and always had a good experience. They have some great deals (if you like wool, check them out for Icebreaker tees at very reasonable prices--they have them fairly often).

as with any American company, shipping to Canada's horrendous, but otherwise the products are good. I've picked up some great Icebreaker stuff.

One thing to possibly keep in mind is that when you return stuff, they deduct the shipping off your credit instead of you paying for the return at the post office. And it's a flat rate of $6 or $7, so when I returned a pair of gloves worth about $10, I ended up with like a $2 refund.

Lucky you i have never gotten a shipping refund on a return, is that a Canadian thing or did you just put up a fuss?

That's only if you use their prepaid mailing label... I think it's $6 or something like that if you use that label to send things back and they do write that in tiny print on the label... However, you can send back as much as you want for that $6, I used to combine several orders of returns to them.

I haven't ordered from them in an awful long time.

But they do take returns without any problem, no matter how long it's been - and they do always have coupons.

If you go to fatwallet.com, and do a search for something like official sierra trading post coupon thread, people post all the coupons. retailmenot.com may have them posted as well.

fatwallet.com gives cashback if you click through them to buy on sierra, and probably bing live (microsoft live) cashback does as well.

I've ordered lost of stuff from Sierra, have never had to return a thing.

+1 on good experiences with STP! :)

Even bought the running top I'm wearing in my avi there.

+1, I once got Ortlieb front panniers, $30 for the pair. Ortlieb was changing their style.

Love them.

It's one of my favorite places to order from. Great prices and quick shipping.
