I have been shopping with this company for over 14 years. Primarily online but I have been in a…read morefew of their stores. I have seen them grow to be a huge chain. I remember when it was just a small store in Columbia. I have been shopping online with them since their prices have always been excellent, particular when they have a sale. I've gotten AR-15s, stripped lowers, barrels, ammunition, magazines from them. I walked into this "Greenville" store and was nothing short of impressed. I was like a kid in a candy store. They have single boxes of ammunition and bulk ammunition with great prices. Their selection of firearms are wide open. Revolvers of various lengths, calibers and brands, I was just salivating (I have 31 revolvers, myself, already). Their hunting rifles, semiautomatic AR pistols, and semiautomatic rifles were in full stock. You're only limited by money. I can't purchase anything in house regarding pistols or handguns since I'm from out of state so I'd have to get it shipped to an FFL. They have a nicely organized, clean and expansive store. I grabbed 28 boxes of 5.7x28mm ammunition since they were much cheaper than I can get online, particularly with shipping. All of the staff I met were courteous and helpful, and I didn't get the negative vibe I have seen in reviews preceding mine. Maybe because I'm a physician I know how to interact with a majority of people I come across. I don't know but everyone I met was nothing short of friendly. Parking lot is huge, clean and safe. I'd definitely come back again if I'm in town. Prices, availability and variety are unparalleled in my decades of being a firearms enthusiast, instructor, expert and shopper.

Poor customer service on replacement parts that were defective/poor quality…read more Barrel nut gave out on a simple reassembled after port door installation. Palmetto State has not shipped me a barrel nut for a upper reciever handguard. Customer service tries to "sound nice" but are not helpful at all. Very disappointed. A simple barrel nut replacement is all I requested and need. I even offered to purchase a barrel nut (they do not sell them) but this has been a nightmare. I believe they're absolutely interested in profit from customers on ver budget AR's, yet they're not interested in customers that need replacement parts on their cheap budget AR's--This includes their Sabre line!

I came here with my boyfriend to shoot for the very first time. I have lots and lots of trauma with…read morehandguns and it took a lot to work through some of that PTSD. We walked in and were immediately greeted like a friend by an associate named Mack. My experience there was top notch!! I never once felt shamed or discouraged from being there, even when I cried. Staff were all very friendly and made sure to encourage me, every step of the way. We were given a booth far away from everyone else, as a courtesy and I was warned about how loud it may get before we ever stepped foot inside. Once Mack noticed I had been crying, I was offered a water and encouraged not to give up. I ended up firing a gun 4 times that day and felt very proud of my accomplishments. We paid an outstanding price for the amount of time we were there and over all would recommend this place to anyone. best. date. ever.

Can we please get rid of the people trying to sell you stuff IN THE STORE??? It's like, you're in…read morethere shopping, (probably going to drop some coin) and some overly cheerful person takes you off guard by saying hello. Then proceeds to ask you to come over to them (wha??). Like, no. I overheard this conversation at least 3x as I was shopping and could tell by the volume that this salesperson was getting close and I did NOT want to interact with this person. So I hauled ass out of the section I was shopping and left shortly thereafter. It's like double dipping-you already have customers in the door willingly, obviously there to buy or look for something, DONT put people on the floor to try get more from them (and by more, I don't just mean financially. If you are introverted, like myself, having a conversation with a stranger can be stress inducing. And shopping should not be that way. Target and Walmart , I'm looking at y'all too!! Otherwise I enjoyed my visit.

Horrible management. Will be giving Dicks my business from here on out. Tim (one of the managers)…read morehas the worst customer service I have ever seen. I asked for management and he came up to me immediately with an attitude and frown and was completely unapproachable and annoyed I requested to talk to him. My son's brand new Nikes gave him blisters at school and did not fit him so we immediately brought them back with a receipt. There was the slightest and I mean slightest show of wear at the bottom of the shoe (one so small I would not have noticed if I bought them myself) and Tim refused to let us exchange them for a bigger size with no sympathy for our loss of money. I work in the customer service industry myself and am appalled at how I was treated. I highly suggest shopping at Dicks instead and not giving this store your business.

What a major disappointment!!! I've been purchasing COURT SHOES at Academy for more than 10 years…read more I walked into the store to find TWO, that's 2 pairs of court shoes. They have hundreds of soccer shoes baseball shoes, even wrestling shoes. No court shoes. I asked an mooted what's going on. He said "we've been asking for court shoes for tennis players, pickleball players, squash players, racquetball players and corporate just seems to ignore our requests. Well, they have increased their weight lifting and exercise area, women's clothing, so I guess that's their new direction. Unfortunately, it won't be mine!
