    Ben A.

    My 14 year old son recently asked me to take him to an Army surplus store, and I had to admit to him that the two I knew about had closed along time ago. When I was a kid, my grandfather, who retired from the Navy used to take us down to the Navy store in Long Beach, but I had also not been there in 20 years, and I don't think I could get in anyway, even if it's still there. Good old yelp to the rescue, I found M & I Surplus, read a couple of reviews, and headed out to the truck with my kid. We arrive to a building that was larger than I had expected it to be, painted taxi cab yellow from stem to stern. Just inside the door, I could tell that this was a combination of military surplus, along with some survival and camping gear. With the Covid fear waning, they seem to be blowing out some big things like 55 gallon water barrels, and some other items for survival. A full section of wool socks, and hats, a display of leather belts, MREs, jackets, hi-vis and camo gear, rope, camp stoves... there is a lot of stuff in here! Particularly Cool was a little offshoot on the north side of the store, that had some vintage military gear, and other items. Near the back of the store, there were several military uniforms, hanging on the racks, I learned later that some of these ostensibly were donated by individuals, who served previously, retired, or brought here by their next of kin. This is a very well organized shop, with just about everything you would probably ever want to find at a military surplus store. For my part, I have been back twice for some cold-weather gear, and a couple of items for our trailer - found what I needed both times. Definitely worth checking out. Oh, my kid found a cool canteen, and a couple of other items that he did not need but I suppose he wanted. Spend it on the ones you love, right?

    They've got some great emergency items, camping things and more! The prices are better than sporting goods stores. We will be back

    Much cooler than I expected it to be. They have great camping gear. It almost makes up for the lack of a local REI.

    I gave it 4 stars for the mount of stuff they carry. It would have been 5 stars but some of the prices was high. I will be going back soon.

    I placed an order with GTFOverland on 12/19/2025 for light bars. I received an order confirmation,…read morebut after that there were no updates, shipping notifications, or communication of any kind. On 01/04/2026, I attempted to contact the company through their website and received no response. After waiting several more days, I followed up via email and still heard nothing. At that point, it had been 21 days since placing the order with zero updates, and I had no way of knowing if or when my order would ship. Due to the lack of communication, I filed a chargeback through my bank. Only after the chargeback was filed did I finally receive a response. While the explanation involved shipping delays, the response that followed was unprofessional and hostile, blaming me for disputing the charge rather than acknowledging the lack of communication that led to it. The tone of that email was completely inappropriate for customer service. I understand delays happen, especially with small businesses, but leaving customers in the dark and then responding rudely when they protect themselves financially is unacceptable. Clear updates and professional communication would have prevented this situation entirely. Based on the lack of communication and the rude response I received, I would not recommend doing business with GTFOverland.

From the start he was super approachable easy to talk to and very non judgmental which I really appreciated especially since I personally know nothing about airsoft guns. Brian took the time to walk us through the models my boyfriend was interested in and even checked which other stores had certain ones in stock when his own store did not. There was zero pressure to buy something that was not the right fit. He explained how different pistols and revolvers work including loading unloading and general handling in a way that was clear and not overwhelming. I never felt talked down to or brushed off even though I was very clearly not the knowledgeable one in the room. Overall Brian was just genuinely helpful and patient and made what could have been an intimidating experience feel easy and comfortable.

I had absolutely no clue as to what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to see the inside of this massive space that was maximized to the T with racks and walls stocked with merchandise. Extra wide shoes - np! Size 14, 13 & women's shoes - yes!! Nice selection. Golf shirts in brilliant colors and styles and up to a 2X - hole in one! Shorts for all in every style and color - Si! Plenty of comfortable seats and try on stations all over the floor- nice!!! No stress take your time shopping with everything spread out- indeed!! All these at fantastic prices!! ( receipt photo). My hats off to cashier Tracie who was so patient and kind. She opened a Dick's account for me and was absolutely thorough, professional and efficient. The folks in front of me had 2 carts full of shoes; I am guessing at least 36 pairs that they picked up. The great thing - there were 2 employees on the floor bringing out more shoes from the back and sticking. Loved it! It is always a beautiful thing to get 2 pairs of new kicks and a nice golf shirt for $55. Christmas cometh early for Ray Ray!!
