I stumbled on this gem during my summer holiday. They have a tight lil setup, lots and lots of…read morestuff in there (i.e. jackets, bags, pins, hats, you name it) piled up all around which is ok if you're comfortable in closed quarters. There is literally a narrow line to weave thru in the event there are say more than 7 people, aside from the staff browsing throughout the shop. A lot of the good picks can be hard to buy depending on the season (i.e. there was a dope fishing boonie that was neat and the perfect size for me however it was floor model only and likely previously fitted by many individuals). This is my first time to a physical MIL surplus store as I typically shop online for them and had no knowledge before my visit that this particular one was in operation for well over 50 yrs, kudos. One thing though is that if you plan on returning or exchanging anything you should discuss all the details PRIOR to purchase. For myself, def learned this the hard way as there was some gear I bought, accessories and tees (pd in cash) but changed my mind on some of them after a couple of days. Then I checked online and their store policy is 5 days with original receipt. So I returned with my goods, namely a T-shirt and was told it is NON-REFUNDABLE due to it being "underwear" and the fact it "touches your body". I was thinking "ok..." and my face def showed it, as this was the first time in my life that I heard of a business that bent their return policy. Maybe it was because of the fact that I paid cash for my gear, not sure and the owner did not want to refund me, but I got past it. But as a heads up, if you do think you may have any sort of wrinkle with a return it prob is better to put it on your charge card so you can work it out with the issuer/card company for any disputes. Overall 2/5.

Dr.jay on jamaica Avenue is a decent store .I have been in this particular store a few times over…read morethe years .it doesn't have any thing to much different then any other sneaker store.but it has a different variety of sneakers and boots ,name brand like timberland and nike ,Adidas . The store has 2 levels upstairs and the main floor ,they also have a variety of clothes, Jean's jugging suites, t shirts all different name brand ,and all different nba team hats.you can say this spot is a little crowded. Folks looking for the best deals.with so many other sneaker stores on Jamaica Avenue, you have a lot of people window shopping, to see what's the best prices are ,the staff seems pretty cool and the store seems pretty clean . I have to be honest with you there aren't really any good, good sales on sneakers there from what I seen, but you never know what you may find .but like many other athletic sport stores dr jays has still been able to stay some what relevant. And has been on jamaica Avenue for a few decades .

I trust them to always come through with the goods. The shipping is super fast and when I need to return an item which I have done before, the returns are always easy going and hassle free.
