    I had a great experience at REI location today. I was having a hard time finding something and I ended up getting help from one of the cashiers. Her name is Bella, I deeply appreciate how energetic she was to help find my item and get me the best deals. I felt extremely taken care of will be back soon!

    Pam is amazing!! I went in to buy some gloves, and a simple transaction with Pam made my whole day. Through simple conversation after a personal issue came up, Pam was exceptionally understanding and compassionate. Thank you, Pam!

    Placed an order for new e-bike tires since they weren't in stock. The very helpful staff were able to find a set that would fit my rare wheel size.

    This is my go-to place for when I need to buy ice axe or trekking poles, or proper endurance running shoes, or hiking boots. The staff is very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. One of them encouraged me to buy Oboz Sawtooth boots even though they were a bit pricy, but that turned out to be a great decision. Best hiking boots I've had - very durable. The fitting rooms are nice and clean - I do sometimes see difference in price on stuff such as hiking pants between the store and online, in which case the store proves great for sizing and fit-check, then I can order on the REI website.

    Wendell Nelson at the Tustin store was outstanding and exemplified superb customer service! I am new to backpacking and needed a tent. He came to offer assistance, and took the time not only to help me find the right tent for me, but to come back and actually help me set it up to practice and to show me how easy it was to do so. I really valued and appreciated his personalized service. I shared with him that I was just at the Huntington Beach (HB) REI, hanged around for almost an hour hoping to get help with the tents and I was never acknowledged. I walked out. A manager like Wendell is what will keep customers coming back. Angel was great too and very personable; she came to offer her assistance, I didn't even need to ask. HB should learn from the customer service level rendered at the Tustin location! Thank you Wendell and Angel!! I really appreciated the service and know I will have an amazing, well prepared backpacking trip!
