    Had a wonderful experience picking up a Thule rooftop box I ordered online for pickup at this Carle Place location. I rushed here after work to arrive prior to 8pm closing at 7:57. Jeff and Mark were not only super accommodating but they stayed with me till 8:07 to unbox my purchase so it fit in my van. I would have tipped them if I had cash on me, so hope management can give these guys all the praise. Thank you!

    REI, located in Garden City across from planet fitness, is an awesome outdoors retailer. They have quality clothing at high end prices. The representatives are always helpful and pleasant. I came to purchase a phone charger but I didn't bring my REI CC to redeem my points for a reduced purchase or free even. I am fond of this store due to the selection of costs on display. If they don't have it in store, you can purchase online and have it shipped at a later date. I chose to come back another day.

    First, their curbside pickup is closed when I visited during a regular hour. Second, the salesperson wasted too much time before she realized she was working on a wrong order.

    Went in to look around for a few things my 3 year old daughter started to ride in the aisle a bicycle that she liked just to test it out when a random employee came from out of nowhere telling her to get off can’t ride the nice that we had to schedule an appointment and she could ride it outside, mind she’s going super slow her first time trying a bike with the training wheels. I just looked at him like seriously and just dropped everything and left, disappointed
