What visitors say
La Vie Sportive is a big multi-sport store in Québec City, listed for canoes and kayaks, bikes and e-bikes, camping gear, running, skiing and marine supplies. One in-store shopper describes a beautiful shop with a large selection and staff who are knowledgeable and helpful without hovering.
The recent written reviews, however, are almost all about online orders, and some refer to ordering from La Cordée. Customers describe return shipping on wrong sizes that cost about half the item price, a pending card charge that wasn't released, ski boots that arrived missing their insoles and slow or unresponsive customer service.
Going by the reviews, the store works best for people who can shop in person and get advice on fit and gear. The overall rating is solidly positive, with most visitors rating it four or five stars.
If you do order online, read the return and shipping policy first and keep records of your emails and calls in case something goes wrong.
