Well now, let me tell you about Dick's Sporting Goods because this place ain't just a store, it's a…read morefull-blown sporting goods revival tent. You walk into Clackamas Town Center and there it is... shining like a beacon for folks who like their gear fresh, their brands loud, and their hobbies expensive. Shoes? Lord have mercy. They've got enough to outfit a small army of marathon runners, golfers, and folks who just wanna look athletic while ordering takeout. You want Nike? They got it. You want those hard-to-find Crocs in that oddly specific color you saw online at 2 a.m.? Boom right there on the shelf like they've been waiting on you personally. Now here's the thing about ordering online you click, you wait, you pray it fits. Here? You just walk in, try it on, and walk out feelin' like you made a good life decision for once. No three-week shipping, no "sorry, sold out," no heartbreak. Just instant gratification, the way the good Lord and credit cards intended. And don't even get me started on the gear. Golf clubs lined up like they're ready to testify, YETI bottles for every hydration personality type, kayaks, bikes, floaties if it gets you outside or at least makes you look like you go outside, they've got it. This ain't bargain-bin stuff either. This is the high-end, "I probably don't need it but I'm buying it anyway" kind of place. Now here's where it gets funny the Oregon Ducks section. I swear to you, they've got better Ducks gear here than some actual Ducks stores. I'm not saying that's right... I'm just saying it's true. Brought my daughter in here once, got her some fresh Nikes, and she strutted back to her small town like she just signed an endorsement deal. That's the kind of confidence this place sells and it ain't even on clearance. So yeah, if you're anywhere near this mall and you like name brands, sports, or just enjoy walking around a store thinking, "Yeah... I could be that person," then step on into Dick's. It's classy, it's stacked, and it's just about the closest thing to a sports lover's heaven you're gonna find without breaking a sweat.

Received an invoice and an email from Oregon City Sporting Goods confirming my order. May 6th, I send an email to kurtb@ocsports.us as listed on the email in case I had any questions. I requested an update. No reply. May 9th, I call the business asking for an update on my order, and whoever it was I talked to didn't ask for an order number or anything. They just said that they just got a bunch of the orders in, and I would be receiving an email update within a couple days. Nothing. Today, May 27th, I once again called asking for an update. Told whoever I spoke to that the order was placed through Tualatin JBO. They told me all those orders were already delivered. Told them I placed this order on April 19th, and I could give them the order number if it would help. Their exact reply was, "Well the order number isn't gonna do me any good." They got a little flustered, then asked for my name and number and would get back to me later in the day. I called about 3pm. It's almost 930pm and no call back. Update 5/28 - Received word from someone from Tualatin JBO. The orders were received a week ago and will be distributed amongst the teams/families. Still would have appreciated SOME type of communication from OCSG.

Go into REI and look at a product, then pull it up online at another retailer and you will find the REI is competitive on most items. It's not REI that expensive it's that good gear is expensive. You can't go into the WalMart camping section and compare a bunch of Coleman stuff to real gear. Their worlds apart.

Since I swim daily, I'm always seeking replacement goggles or fins - and typically find better options on Amazon, which was the case this day. The layout of this store was a maze with no clear departments or signage. I actually got frustrated and left after realizing I would not find swim gear here, and didn't have the patience to navigate the aisles.

The refund wasn't in cash, but in store credit, which I can at least use in the store. It's much better than the one on 82nd Street, where the staff immediately said it didn't meet the refund policy, as if they hadn't been trained at all. They didn't understand anything, not even the difference between air guns and real ammunition guns, and just said I couldn't return it! Their quality needs to be improved!

I even consulted them on what scope to buy and hardware. Finally got my rifle and all my mounting supplies together to come in and get the scope on my new gun. I was told they were too busy today to do it and asked when would be a good time to bring it in. The girl at the front counter called back and then informed me after the measure 114 scare is over. I told her that's not what they said last week when I picked my rifle up and that they were doing a scope mount at that time. she just apologized and here I am with a rifle with no fixed sites and no scope mounted on it either. Although I have bought many times from this place in the past the service just continues to decline. I'll take my business and money somewhere else in the future.
