Frustrated
My experience with My Backyard Zone was incredibly frustrating and felt misleading from start to finish.
The company advertises very attractive prices in Google Shopping results, which is what initially drew me in while searching for a lightweight backpacking tent for an upcoming trip. However, once you get to checkout, a variety of extra fees suddenly appear and significantly increase the final price. While the total may still end up slightly cheaper than competitors, the pricing strategy feels intentionally deceptive and designed to lure customers in with artificially low advertised prices.
The bigger issue, though, is fulfillment and customer service.
After placing my order, the item was never shipped. Communication was poor, updates were vague or nonexistent, and the entire process felt like a storefront more interested in generating traffic and collecting orders than actually delivering products in a reliable timeframe. When someone orders gear for a specific trip or deadline, that matters. Outdoor equipment is not something people casually wait around for with no communication.
After digging deeper, I found multiple other customer complaints describing similar experiences involving delayed shipping, canceled orders, unresponsive support, and checkout surprises. ([PissedConsumer][1]) That made this feel less like an isolated mistake and more like a pattern.
There are too many reputable outdoor retailers to gamble on a company operating like this. I would strongly recommend buying from established retailers with transparent pricing, reliable fulfillment, and actual customer support instead of risking your time and money here.
