Poor customer service by Roman who is a store assistant manager. We thought we purchased two firearms we wanted however, after purchase, it was realized that the firearms were not the exact ones we wanted. Not going to get into full details but as their return policy is not posted anywhere in person or on the receipt, Roman is stating all firearms purchases are final as he also refused to advise me what time the store manager would arrive to the store the next day. He was extremely rude and is the complete opposite of their sales person code of conduct. Go to another place of business where people are treated with better dignity, and moreso, veterans and first responders.

stood waiting to get an accessory from behind the cabinets. The guys just kept skipping over me and going to other people. Literally just needed someone to hand me something and they just acted like I was invisible..

Zero stars. I bought the wrong size shotgun shells after getting ZERO help from employees that have ZETO interest in customer service. Store policy refuses returns despite asking for help during sale. Now stuck with shells that do not work. Thanks for nothing, Sportsman's Warehouse. And corporate wonders why their stocks are dropping. Sad customer service. Will never spend another dime there
