    Disappointed in the lack of customer service. Roamed the store and finally someone asked if I was doing alright after 30 minutes. I’ve received better service at several other REIs.

    I’ve been an REI member for 20 years and their return policy, customer service and selection have been declining. Recently I bought light hiking boots (one of the few vegan boot options). I used the boots for less than 2 months of desert tortoise surveys (just hiking through moderate terrain) and the boots were pretty trashed. They simply didn’t hold up and I even switched them out halfway through. The REI staff made returning the boots a hassle. One employee even hinted that I used them for more than hiking mentioning “ranching or construction work” again, I’m a vegan conservation biologist. Eventually the boots were returned but it shouldn’t be so hard to get a refund on a disappointing product.

    Excellent shop. They saved me when I lost a rear linkage bolt.

    The employee “Bill” was the most knowledgeable and friendly employee I have ever met at a outdoor store! Spectacular!
