Shipping & Delivery

Q: What are my shipping options?
A: We offer two expedition-grade shipping methods:
  1. Standard Alpine Express (DHL/FedEx) – $12.95 flat rate, 10-15 day delivery with real-time tracking (recommended for time-sensitive climbs)
  2. Basecamp Free Shipping (EMS) – Free for orders over $50, 15-25 day delivery with tracking
All orders receive the same careful packing by our team of climbers in Atlanta.
Q: Why are some Asian and remote regions excluded from delivery?
A: Like any good expedition, we must acknowledge logistical limitations. Some areas present:
  • Customs restrictions on technical outdoor gear
  • Unreliable carrier infrastructure
  • Extended transit times that compromise our quality guarantee
We continuously explore new routes to serve more adventurers worldwide.
Expedition Planning Tip: For critical gear needs, order at least 3 weeks before departure using Standard Alpine Express to account for potential delays.

Payments

Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept all major expedition funding sources:
  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • JCB
  • PayPal
All transactions are secured with alpine-grade encryption.

Our support team can help diagnose specific issues at [email protected].

Returns & Exchanges

Q: What’s your return policy?
A: We offer a 15-day “No-Questions-Asked” return window from delivery date:
