  My widowed mom loves REI. I appreciate the seasonal deals from here. Take care.

  Customer Support Non-Existent: On 3/19/2026 I called their corporate help desk and hung up after 12 minutes. The telephone support system lacks modern enhancements like sharing expected wait times and letting the customer know what place you are in the queue. They also don't give you the option for a call back without losing your place in line. Both enhancements should be standard operating procedure for any mature help desk. Just another reason why REI is failing to make money and survive long term as a company.

  Ordered an item as a gift here, arrived a week later than the estimated date on the order confirmation so it arrived late, I received the wrong item in a mispackaged box. I’m still waiting for a refund which I was told can take up to 3-4 weeks. They like to advertise I year return policy, but if they send you the wrong item you’re stuck hoping they refund you in time if you need to make a dispute with your bank, also 3-4 weeks is a long time to have a charge on your account when I had to buy another gift elsewhere for my partner. Will update if they end up making it right Edit: they sent me an email that says their decision is final and I’m stuck with a $255 charge for an item I didn’t receive! Scam company!

  We placed this shoes at our local REI. It was shipped from this location. And this is how it arrived, its definitely a used shoe. No card stock in the foot wheel and shoes were not even line the right way. Not tied its like they didn't even check it before shipping it. How disappointing.

  I went into an REI store to make a purchase and explained to the sales associate that we already had a membership and were not interested in purchasing another one. Unfortunately, one of the items I wanted was out of stock, and the associate repeatedly pushed the idea of purchasing a $30 membership in exchange for a $30 credit. Despite initially declining, I eventually agreed and purchased an additional membership to support REI. Today, when checking the status of my order, I discovered that my items were cancelled, meaning they will not arrive on time. I contacted customer service and explained that I never wanted the membership to begin with and that I would now be purchasing my items directly from the manufacturer. I requested a refund for the membership. Stacey, the representative handling refunds, assured me that I would receive a full refund within two weeks and apologized for the inconvenience. She offered overnight shipping, which I declined, as at this point I no longer felt comfortable supporting REI. Shortly after ending the call, I received an email stating my refund had been processed. However, the refund shows a $30 “general adjustment” minus $10, meaning only $20 was refunded. Now, in the middle of the holiday season, I’m once again trying to get in touch with customer service to resolve an issue that should have been handled correctly the first time. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing.
