    Super nice employees, many who are knowledgeable, easy to find parking, and large selection of items as well as many new items not sold anywhere else. Only con, wish they hand more patagonia and arcteryx items on hand.

    Terrible Customer Service — Do Not Shop at REI If I can, I will give us zero star! I tried to return a brand-new, unused item (tags and barcode still attached). Because I paid cash and lost the receipt, REI refused everything — no return, no exchange, no store credit. This isn’t customer service; it’s punishing honest customers while hiding behind policy. Strongly do not recommend buying anything from REI. If something goes wrong, you will get zero help.

    Mike in the repair department at the Tustin REI was a huge help today. The store was packed for Christmas Eve and he was clearly holding things together, but still stepped in to help us with a snowboard boot fitting when no one else could. He knew his stuff, was easy to talk to, and helped us find a solid pair without rushing us. Really appreciated his help during such a crazy day.
