Given the popularity of hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, and other outdoor activities is…read moreMichigan, you'd think there'd be more stores catering to these activities in South Oakland county, but the number has shrunk over the years. There's a Cabelas over by Selfridge, and a Bass Pro Sports up in Auburn Hills, but this is the only big outdoors store within 30miles of me. (I don't count Dunhams, which caters mainly to team sport activities.) Sportsman's Warehouse is the only big box store in the area that caters to traditional outdoor activities, and while it's no Cabelas, it's not bad. The archery selection is fair if you're a fan of compound bows or crossbows, but the last time I looked that had on,y two recurves or longbows. There's a lot of fishing gear for fans of spinning and bait casting, but not a lot of quality fly fishing gear. Selection in most departments is a lot narrower than you'll find at Cabelas, and not all sizes are in stock. Several times I've gone there looking for shoes and boots but couldn't find any 12s in what I was looking for. I went looking for a range bag a while ago and found just a handful of bags. The firearms selection is decent if you're looking for a 9mm auto or an AR clone, but you won't see a wide range of .22 rifles or pistols. The reloading equipment section is very thin, with only a handful of powders, cases, and bullets. Ammunition selection is wide in areas like 9mm and .223, but thinner in other areas. The .22RF selection is a seemingly random selection that changes, probably depending on what available. Still, I do visit regularly, and sometimes find good deals. I picked up a Frog Togs rain jacket that was on sale not long ago, and sometimes you'll see something interesting in the used firearms section. If you don't have a regular sporting goods store nearby, and you do t want to make a long trek to Cabelas, it's a hand place for many supplies.

Service? None to Terrible!! Purchased an item online and it was not the color it stated when I…read moredrove to the store to pick it up. Canceled it. Went to the gun dept and was totally ignored. Finally the sales associate asked if I wanted to see something, I told him the gun I wanted to see he then walked away he then walked away and asked another customer what he wanted. Young man at the service desk looked like he was new and very nice. I have never been treated like this in any store. He felt like he was doing me a favor even asking me if I wanted to look at anything. SAVE YOUR SELF SOME TIME AND SHOP AT BASS PRO CABELA'S OR DUNHAMS. Just a side note, I worked at Bass Pro Cabela's for seven years in the FIREARMS DEPT. !! GREAT STORES GREAT PEOPLE!!

My daughter has a membership with Rei, so we visit every now and again. I use a mobility scooter…read more While they do have automatic doors, the button on the inside door is so far back in the alcove, that I hit it and could not get turned around before the door closed. There were many areas that I was not able to get to. The socks, which is what I came for, are on a wall at the back of the clearance area. The floor was so covered in merchandise and the displays were so close together, that I could not get near them. The clothing aisles were all diagonal and impossible to navigate. Lastly, and most upsetting to me, my daughter and I were checking out at the same time and her cashier was really pleasant, greeted her warmly and kept up a stream of converation, but the one that waited on me was rude and barely spoke. I can't say for sure that this was due to my disability, but what else am I to think? Evidently Rei doesn't care for disabled people. Or maybe they think that people with disabilities do not need active merchandise, so they don't have to cater to them. Either way it was sad to be treated negatively just because I have to use a scooter to get around.

On occasion we come here to shop. I like to sip water all day long. I take an insulated cup to…read morework, I use one at home, I even like them on road trips in the car, so I was looking for another good cup to add to my mix. I heard Yeti was a great brand to keep the water cold for a very long time. I have been looking for a color I liked and found a nice red one here called Harvest Red. I do not think Yeti is discounted very often, so I probably just paid they typical price, but I liked their assortment. Their customer service was really good. Many people talked to me to make sure I found what I needed and they were all very friendly and personable. They do ask you to join their club. I do not buy enough for it to be worth my while but it seems like a decent deal if you do buy here often since it is one fairly small payment for life and allows you to accumulate points or get a discount. They have a small but nice shoe selection, and I like the clothing selection as well. If you are interested in a smaller, less overwhelming sporting goods shop, this is a nice one.

Moosejaw sells clothing and footwear as well as gear for hiking, camping, climbing, biking, and…read moresnow sports. Brands of products include The North Face, Columbia, Under Armour, Carhartt, Adidas, Billabong, Marmot, Burton, their own Moosejaw brand, and many dozens of others. I shop at Moosejaw a couple of times per year, mostly to purchase clothing. My most recent purchase was a pair of winter gloves for my husband. I felt happy that Moosejaw carried the size XXL, unlike many competing stores. The price for the gloves was reasonable. I paid $5 for shipping, but free shipping is available for orders that are over $49. In addition, Moosejaw's rewards program gives 10% back to customers for use toward future purchases. Moosejaw shipped the gloves the next day, and the package was delivered to my home the following day--fast!

I set up my Moose account (MJM) and placed the order ($181.78) Order #157058015. My Visa card (Capital-One) honored the purchase No Problem. However, MJM blocked the order "Status: Authorization Code" and refuses to process it until they get a six digit code from my Cap-1. After speaking with Cap-1 three times, they're still baffled about what MJM is asking them to provide. How crazy is it that my name, address, phone#, card#, and ID we're all verified, and Cap-1authorized the charge, but the retail company to which I want to give my money is refusing to take it. This issue is ongoing as I write. If something improves, I'll remove this post, but if not then it stays up and my MJM shopping days will end.

The item feels cheaper quality of past northface items. Been a loyal customer with Northface ski pants, ski jackets, bike jackets, hiking shorts etc. Never been treated so poorly at a high end outdoor retailer before. I understand a No Return Policy at a low end retailer. Northface always stood for quality items & superior customer service. Northface must have been bought out by a Corporation that is bleeding the brand dry. My item was never worn, & had the original tag on. I tried to get a store credit, because I was going to buy a new North face ski jacket this winter. No resolution -just 60% of the receipt & I had to use the money same day. For pete's sake it is summer & they had no winter ski jackets in stock. The customer in front of me was having the same issue with no returns.

My mother loves every sweater I have ever bought for her from here. I was warmly greeted by three or four of the staff members as soon as I walked in the door. I always am greeted every time I walk in here it seems. It feels like the Cheers of the clothing/retail shops. I feel like this place tends to be for the more rugged and out-doorsy folks, which I am not. But I always manage to find a great sweater or two in merino wool, cashmere or a mix of fabrics. I spent some time browsing around in the men's section. I ended up finding a one piece jacket/shirt hybrid. Orvis brand. One of the staff members had the same shirt and he said it was great shirt and he loved it. He said it's super versatile and warm and has a lot of added features that my stepdad would like. I was sold. Was about $170. The entire staff is an A team of helpful, patient and informative peeps. Each will go above and beyond to make your experience great here. I didn't realize I was in the store after hours. There were still four staff members that had stayed on to help me out until the end. They didn't rush me out or make me feel bad about keeping them at all. I did thank them for staying a little extra. They said they had stuff to finish up still, so staying was no biggie. I took a little extra time to try on their barbour jackets, as these require a bit more time in selecting the perfect color, style and fit for a jacket. The wax jackets are around $420. It was great since I was able to do 1-stop shop for my parents tonight. Found two cashmere sweaters for my mother and two sweater/jackets for my stepfather. Their Christmas gifts are done. I was able to find two cashmere sweaters, one cable knitted for myself, a black barbour waxed jacket and a inner vest lining for it. A successful trip and put a good dent in wallet too. I was told the Barbour jackets are great and durable and lovable for many years to come. I so love the smell of their frasier fir candles here. I buy some every year from here.
