Over the years, I have only placed orders through the REI website (w/ my Lifetime Membership), but…read morethe past couple of months, I have had more miss than hits with my orders and felt like I had been spending way too much of my gift card money on return costs than keeping the actual products. I know there is a REI in Arcadia but I rarely visit that area these days. A Friend recommended this location over the Arcadia one, as it is bigger and it was perfect because it happened to be on my route one day. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and was able to return my online order quickly. The cashier was very kind and the return was quick. I never used the product, the sizing was just way off, even though I had followed the product's website video guide. When I visited, it just so happened to be Member Days so I took a look around. This location certainly has "everything." It feels rare to have a fully stocked store these days. Since I did not need anything at the moment, I plan on stopping by again in a few months when I have an idea of what to use my gift cards on. There were employees throughout the store and they often greeted me and asked if I needed help. Great customer service! There was also restrooms for customers to use. There was plenty of parking in shopping center and overall, had a great first experience.

One star review…read more What happened to REI? I had a very bad experience at REI Tustin on El Camino Real. EVA and manager AARON falsely accused me of returning the wrong item, even though the item matched my REI account, app, original tags, barcode, and product details. They made this accusation in front of my family and other customers, which was very embarrassing. I asked them a simple question: "What exactly is different?" They refused to answer. That tells me they had no real answer. They accused me first, then avoided explaining their own accusation. While EVA was still processing the return, AARON told me to leave and threatened security for no valid reason. After all that, they still processed the return. So the item was correct all along. This was a false accusation, poor judgment, zero accountability, and terrible management. REI leadership should review this incident seriously.

And usually to me and my puppy every time we come to the store, AND the parking lot is huge! Never have an issue. I appreciate how large this space is and everything is neatly organized and you know where to find all the items for various activities, sports and weather! Tons of brands and selections. I especially appreciate the sports basementeees discounts especially on yoga clothes or other athleisure wear. I also really like that if for some reason something isn't working out with the item I purchase, I know I can bring it back in (within reason and appropriate timeframe!). The value of items here are top notch and I'm always happy to support this retailer. So glad to have one in Orange County! Definitely a great place to look for high quality, durable and affordable clothing and accessories - perfect for any adventure!

If your teenager rides like mine, you'll eventually have two choices: take them to the ER...or take…read moretheir mountain bike to the "ER" at Sports Basement! We've been here so many times that I finally had to leave a review--especially for Jesus (pronounced just like the name in the Bible). This place is HUGE! They have everything--bikes, sports apparel, camping gear, rentals, and more. Plenty of parking, conveniently located right off the 405, they price match, and the membership is actually worth asking about. I'm usually not a membership person, but we come here so often that it pays for itself. Jesus is amazing. We brought in my son's Co-op DRT 3.3 for what we thought would be "just brakes." It turned into new brake pads, a chain, spoke alignment, shock adjustment...you know, the full bike spa treatment. (Part of it was his---well...thanks to my son's curiosity and love of "tinkering.) Even though we picked up the bike right at closing time, Jesus never rushed us. He patiently explained every repair, answered all of our questions, and even taught my 14-year-old how to better maintain his bike. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and enjoys encouraging young riders. Fast turnaround, fair prices, great service, and no long waits like we've experienced elsewhere. We're customers for life. Thanks, Jesus and the Sports Basement team, for keeping both my son--and his bike--on the trails!

The store is 2 stories and they sell everything from home goods, cards, gifts, clothes for the whole family and much more! As a creative person who studied fashion merchandising, their displays were everything to me. It reminded me a little of Anthropology, with more of a boho/hippy vibe. The whole store is extremely visually appealing and has a "hangout vibe". It is the perfect store for this area. It totally goes with the theme. The staff are super friendly and helpful too! Can't wait to go back!

I ultimately came back and exchanged my pants and got them shipped to me almost immediately since they didn't have them in store. I saved a lot of money so it was worth coming into the store! Check this place out!

The retail area is…read morequite a bit bigger and they have a large systems board with an adjustable angle so I assume you can try out the shoes before you buy them. They also have bins of old demo shoes and seconds for $45 per pair, so that is a great bargain if you can find what you need. They also have a small selection of diverse gear including cams and draws, so there is another option to pick up toys to fill in your rack.

While he was trying on…read morean $80 pair of slides, the associate approached him and asked whether the socks my husband was wearing belonged to the store. His tone and facial expression clearly implied that he thought we had taken merchandise without asking. The socks were my husband's own socks, and the entire interaction felt rude, condescending, and completely inappropriate. They don't even sell the same brand socks at the store. Rather than providing customer service, the associate made him feel accused and uncomfortable while shopping. Customer service training should include basic professionalism and respect. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression.

My shorts and joggers don't feel good against my skin during those times. Even with sale pricing, I don't think the clothes purchased here are a good value.

In terms of what I have written about the materials used in some of their apparel, there are a good amount of Redditors who corroborate my opinion. I'll admit that when the weather is cooler and not humid, their clothes look good. Right now, my choices for clothing are from different brands.
