    Came in looking for a specific item. They didn’t have it in my size, but the staff were great and helped me get it ordered for delivery in no time. Great folks, good selection.

    They gave us back the wrong ski and requested us to bring it back. We requested a discount on our service due to us living an hour away and it being such a massive inconvenience to us. They declined and were very rude to us even though it was their fault. Unacceptable customer service. Do better.

    I asked whether online gift cards could be converted to a physical gift card. The cashier responded in a rude and dismissive manner. I was polite and fully okay with a ‘no,’ but the interaction felt unnecessary and uncomfortable.

    I came in here looking for a pair of comfortable boots for the dawning winter and had a legitimately great shopping experience. The people working here were super friendly, the store is well organized and they have everything you need if you’re the outdoorsy type. I wish the REIs where I live were this good, but to be fair it’s probably an issue of demographics. The greater Cincinnati area has a lot of beautiful nature and people who regularly explore it, where as my area it’s mostly City folks who like to Cosplay as Outdoorsy and when they actually go hiking end up getting lost. Lol
