Coast Mountain Sports (10 AVE), Calgary a *REVISIT*

Normally we didn’t do revisits in reviews but maybe we should start doing Revisit reviews to see what happened in the past. Remember our previous Coast Mountain Sports Review?

Last time I mainly wrote about the shoe department but this time we go to something different.

I was looking for a bear Bell and saw them at MEC (across the street from Coast) for 2.75 and thought that was a great price for them. But I had a gift card for Coast Mountain sports so i decided to try my luck there. At Coast the same Bear Bell was 3.99 so of course i didn’t want to pay that much for it I asked a girl and said they price match at checkout. So I looked a bit more around in the store and then went to pay.

There I told the girl about the price difference with MEC and that the other person told me they would price match it. At that point the girl walked away with my bell and returned a bit later without it and said we needed to wait……..

And that was all she said nothing more happened for minutes and minutes and then finally she went back to the back and came back with my bell and gave me the discounted price.

The whole experience was a bit strange there was not conversation at all between those wait and payment don’t know much about customer service but to me this didn’t feel like service at all it more felt like you want this bell then you need to wait till I say you can have it.

It is that Coast Mountain Sports is across from MEC so when you can’t find something at MEC this is the easiest place to go but other wise i would not bother bringing them a visit.
