Such a great store with wonderful life size outdoorsy decor. They also do a superb decorating job…read morein the Christmas spirit. Store is organized by outdoor activities--fishing, hunting, camping, etc I especially love the foods section that includes chili kits, rubs, jerky and sauces. A downside is often the absence of shelf pricing. I've left many things behind due to this. Lots of wonderful clothing, especially for cold weather--thermals, fleeces, fllannels. Has outdoor appliances like dehydrators, grills, tools. Even has a toys section. Saw some great sales today $15 fleece jackets, 25% off lots of clothing, etc. Certainly worth a gander for everyone.

This is a review for their archery department…read more I decided recently that I wanted to get back into archery (which for me means traditional target shooting with a recurve bow). After receiving terrible service at a local shop in Gainesville, my boyfriend (who was buying this for me as a birthday present) and I came here. Upon walking into that section they really only have compound bows for bowhunting on display and some very expensive all wood recurves hanging behind the counter. There were plenty of people behind the counter though, and one man asked if we needed any help. We told him what we were looking for and that I was a novice archer who had last shot about 6 years ago. He promptly pulled a box out from underneath the counter, told us the price and asked if it was in our range. We said yes and he began putting it together for us. After he had put it together and showed me how it was done, he had me draw it. I said it was fine and more than I shot in High School, which is what I'm looking for since my archery teacher was always pushing me to try a stronger resistance. He then showed me a product called a "whisker biscuit" (I know, sounds lewd right?), which is basically a special attachment to help with nocking the arrow. It holds the arrow in place, meaning it won't fall out mid-release...which I agree is a good idea to have for a novice...especially since this has happened to me! So he attached that on for us. I asked him about a sight and he led us over to where they sell them and selected one to recommend at my re quest of a reasonably priced one. He picked one out and I looked at it, and really liked it! Fiber optic sight with several different pins to mark different distances so there is no need for adjustment once you set them. After attaching everything we had picked out he asked if we need it taken back apart and we did so he obliged. He let us know there was a sale on some arrows and we picked them up as well; he cut them to the proper size and then we were ready to check out! I know it kind of sounds like he was trying to upsell me on a lot of things, but he did listen to our concerns about price and we knew exactly what we were buying. When recommending a product he told us exactly what it was and why it was a good idea, but never said it was a necessity. At any time we could have requested something cheaper or different and I'm sure he would have obliged us with no problem. Great experience, excellent service. Will definitely come back if I need anything. I'm just sad they're in Orlando and not Gainesville :(

I really like bass pro, never went to a store that had at least 50% of what they have…read more Started buying fishing rods there and as I was starting fishing a few years ago didn't know which rod buy, so I bought one rod but wasn't sure if that one would be good, I did an insurance that if I didn't like I could return the rod and grab another one (just losing the value that I paid for insurance) was really good because I got one that was so heavy. A few years layer I got my glock 43x Mos over there and they were really nice, explained everything to me. Once in a while I go there to buy ammo and at Christmas time they do have Santa Claus for the kids, so you just need to pay for the pictures (if you want) nothing else. Really cool place!

The service was horrible!! Extremely Disappointing First Experience…read more What an incredibly disappointing experience purchasing my first firearm at Bass Pro Shops. Honestly, if this is how they treat first-time customers, I would think twice before purchasing a firearm from this store. Before making the trip, I called the Orlando location and specifically asked whether having my concealed carry license would allow me to complete the purchase and leave with my firearm that same day. I was told yes, no problem. Based on that information, I drove an hour out of my way to the store. When I arrived, I was then told that I could NOT leave with the firearm because the state-level firearm background check portal/store's background check system closes at 9:00 PM. This was extremely frustrating because I had already taken the time to call ahead and specifically ask about this. Rather than walk away from the purchase, I decided to have the firearm shipped to my local Bass Pro Shops. I asked the salesperson when it would arrive, and I was told Saturday, Sunday at the latest, or Monday. I had a trip planned and was leaving Monday, so this information was important to me. Then I checked the FedEx tracking information and saw that the delivery was scheduled for Tuesday. I contacted FedEx, and they told me the shipper scheduled the delivery for Tuesday. At this point, I am beyond disappointed. This entire situation could have been avoided with simple, accurate communication. I called ahead, asked specific questions, drove an hour out of my way, and still ended up with incorrect information and a delivery date that did not match what I was told. For something as important as purchasing a firearm, customers should be able to expect clear communication, accurate information, and competent customer service. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at the Orlando Bass Pro Shops. This was my first firearm purchase, and instead of being a positive experience, it has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Based on my experience, I would not recommend purchasing a firearm from this location. If you are considering buying one here, I strongly recommend confirming every detail yourself before making the trip because what you are told over the phone may not be what happens when you arrive. I will not be shopping at the Orlando location again. Stay tuned for Part 2: the debacle of picking up my firearm at the Dania location.

Great selection and prices, the entire shop was 50 percent off, although i could use more lolread more

I was really disappointed after visiting this North Face location. The store was neat and orderly,…read moreeven on a Saturday in November. The clothing sold there seems to be of a good quality, but is seriously overpriced, especially for an outlet. One men's rain jacket was about $600 - that was the "sale" price!! And it was a thin jacket, not a heavy duty winter coat. I have no problem paying for high quality clothing, but this store has items priced several times higher that they should be - especially at an outlet when they are supposed to be having early Black Friday sales. I'll be checking online for better deals around Black Friday and see how it compares with their outlet prices. At this store you are definitely paying for the name when several other companies sell the same products at a fraction of the price.

The staff could not have been more knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. They helped us find exactly what we needed without making us feel pressured to buy things we didn't need. We happened to shop during a sale and Florida's sales tax holiday, and we walked out completely outfitted for our trip for under $500. There's something special about shopping at a locally owned outdoor store that has been in business since 1971. The selection was excellent, but the knowledgeable personal service was what really stood out. We will absolutely shop here again. Highly recommend!

I will definitely order all my future outdoor needs from this business! Well done!

We were assisted by David, who was really great with his recommendations. They no longer have all the inventory out in the store so you basically select the shoe or shoes that you're interested in and go to the kiosk, which is on the extreme left side of the shoe area. This store also has a wide variety of everything sporting goods, beach and camping gear, and beach a sporting apparel (and at decent prices). Oh, and by the way, the AC was a tremendous relief to the FL heat wave thanks to DSG's!!!

Baseball season is here so we stopped in to look for some batting gloves. Selection is fair,…read morehowever, pricing was $10 more for the same brand pair we just bought at the competitor down the street. There were no customer service people in that particular section, but we found it pretty quick since it was in the front of the store. We ended up with a purchase from the gym equipment section and found check out to be pretty quick. The cashier was friendly and asked if I had phone number registered for rewards which I did. He asked if I wanted my receipt which I appreciated since not all places do that. Location of the store is not the best as it is tucked back in the Milennia plaza where there is a lot of traffic. But its a good place to shop if you know exactly what you need and don't mind paying higher prices.

She was also an amazing listener asking for feedback, and she was very patient in finding the perfect shoe for us. Diana also actually took time to measure my wife's foot in the old style way taking nothing for granted. My wife checked out several different brands and finally landed on the Brooks adrenaline GTS . Diana's definitely a stand out in the REI and good customer service world and we are definitely going to her and REI on our next pair. A++ Experience

This is a review of the bike shop. Holy cow where to start with this place-I moved from Oregon to…read moreFlorida. In Oregon, I always used REI for my e-bike service. In Florida now and I got a new e-bike. I just wanted street tires and tannus armor installed. I called REI Orlando three weeks ago to check on service and they said no problem, they could do that. I called again yesterday and I was told the same thing. They could do the service and to just bring it in and the shop opens at 9am. I brought the bike in at 9:15 and was told the bike shop was open but the guy that does the service didn't come in until 11. What? How is the bike shop open with no service?? I filled out the paperwork and was quoted 45 dollars for the tire swap. I left the bike and was told the shop guy would call at 11 regarding the work. I got a call at 11:05 and was quoted 270 dollars! I was also told "we don't work on e-bikes that we don't sell in the store but I will do it just this time." According to REI's corporate site this is not true. I was stuck at this point so I agreed on the price. I was told one hour and I would get an email saying to come get it. 2.5 hours later I finally called. The person on the phone went back to check on the bike and then came back on and said "what bike is it?" I said the e-bike getting the tires changed. He said, "oh the motorcycle!?" I said, no, it is an e-bike with pedals and no registration. He said. Ok the MOTORCYCLE is ready. I went into the shop and the bike shop guy seemed upset. He said, 'don't bring it back. I won't work on it again." Okay, sorry for spending money at your store. He then said "this is a moped and his bike stand could barely lift it." Oh please. I couldn't believe how rude they were after they agreed to the work and I just spent all that money. So sad I loved REI bike services in Oregon. Guess I'll find a better shop here in Florida.

But now, it makes total sense that it would be found in shop dedicated to surfing and other similar sports like skateboarding. This store reminded me a lot of Pac Sun but with the actual boards for sale as well--including wet suits! The clothing was cute and very ocean-esque. Boardshorts (about $30), bikinis, bathing suit cover-ups, sunglasses, flip flops, etc. were all present and well displayed. Most items bared the Rip Curl brand name but some were other well known lines like Rainbow sandals. Divided in half, one side of the store was dedicated to men and the other women with a few areas that both sexes would enjoy such as the wall of backpacks. And for $19.50, girls could purchase a sexy purple t-shirt that says, "Rip Curl Orlando," to mark your journey here. It's a nice store if you are a beach bum. And if you're not as dedicated to the waves, you can still enjoy the ambiance--Ben Harper on the stereo, and the idea that summer goes on forever.

Had some deals, but we were not at all impressed with the staff today at the front counter. While we waited in line, 3 employees were arguing with each other in full view of the customers, something about some coupon on an iPhone I could tell one girl was getting really upset. The whole time there was a small line of customers waiting to check out. Whatever - eventually the one girl walks away, clearly flustered. We proceed to check out. The girl wearing the cowboy hat asks us very fast "cash or card" like hurry the hell up. "Card" we reply. She then just angrily points at the counter for us to place our items to buy. She rings us up like a robot, clearly pissed at something. Then she takes the same iPhone from the argument earlier and shoves it in my wife's face. "Email!" she says. My wife asks why do you need my email? "You won't get a receipt without it" That's fine, we are 3K miles from home, we like what we bought and we certainly aren't returning it. Also we can read the 50 signs spread out throughout the store "ALL SALES FINAL - NO RETURNS" and we are totally fine with that, no problem. Wife says, no thanks I don't want to put my email in you guys probably already have it anyways", her: "you won't get 10% off, 15% off, you get no receipt!" Really? Since when? That attitude and pure disdain displayed to us clearly shows she hates her job. I get it, people have rough days, but after witnessing how she treated her fellow employee in front of customers and the rudeness displayed to us, I felt the need to write this review. Not an asset or good ambassador for our beloved hometown Nike. Do better, Just do it. Terrible customer service.
