came in here on a saturday evening to get some camping supplies. I usually go to cabelas but we were over at the big albertsons so we popped in to see if they had anything we might need. every person we encountered the entire time was so friendly. even though they were clearly under staffed they were all very kind. the man at the knife counter was very knowledgeable and friendly. the prices were good too- and they had a coupon for $20 off every single order of $100 or more. I did not know about this- the checker just applied it for us and told us about it. she did not have to do that! it was really cool and a good surprise. I think this place is a good competitor for cabelas and if you haven't been in you should go check them out. read more

Ordered three low-dollar items online for in-store pickup today. Drove to the retail store 2 hours after ordering. Nobody manning the pickup desk, so I got in the pay-line. When it was my turn, I told them my last name and indicated order-pickup. I was told the items hadn't been pulled yet. Counter person said it can sometimes take 5-6 hours, or even a few days, to get online order items pulled and ready. I asked if I could just go get the items myself from the shelves, come back, match them up against my email-received receipt, and take them with me? Nope. Can't do that. Said I would have to go home, cancel the order online, and drive back to the store. I wasn't going to do that. Asked them if they could just cancel the order here at the checkout counter? Nope, can't do that. Said they could give me the 1-800 number to call to cancel the order, which I called, from the parking-lot. Operator said she would submit the cancellation, but that it could take 2-3 business days to process. All of this was utterly obtuse and inconvenient. When getting home, I found that the website doesn't allow cancellation of an order online anyway. The final insult? When I returned home I received an email that my order was ready for pickup. So much wrong with this. Never again, Sportsman's. Long time customer who now will not spend another dime with you. The logistics were inefficient enough, but it was the we-don't-care attitude that was acute. read more

Worst sportsman's in the valley!!! 2 guys trying to figure out how to transfer a gun and 2 other bs behind the counter while I waited. After 10 min I gave up and decided to take my gun buying to another store!!!! Worst customer service behind the gun counter period!!!!! read more

Showed up on a Friday night at 8:30 in the evening to buy my draw tag. An associate was behind the counter but told me that, "she didn't know how to operate the IDFG station." Doesn't really seem right to have an associate running up front sales that doesn't know the full job on a Friday night. Major L Sportsmans. Glad I spent the time to drive over. Going to Scheels in the future. read more

Black friday sale. I go online and see the item I want in stock on sale at the meridian store. I show up in person. They haven't sold any of the product and dont know what im talking about. They say i have to order it online. But online says the product is available at the store in stock. Seems like a tactic to get people in the store. Disappointing that i wasted my time and efforts. read more

Came in today for pre Black Friday sale. Guy behind the gun counter was pretty flustered with 10 or so people waiting for help so, I left. Hope they get better prepared for actual Black Friday. Looked like zero preparation or process. Maybe try a ticketing system to make it less stressful for your employees and customers. I have had great service here before and I will go back but...I'll try to buy online next time and pick up. read more

I ordered a handgun through their website! I received an email saying that it was ready to pick up! I drive to the store & they don't have it! They said they would call me when it gets there! about 3 days later, haven't heard from them, so I decide to call them, they did in fact have it, turns out they got it 2 days before I called! Then, I spent almost an hour just for the background check! The guy that was helping me leaves while my background is still searching and helps another customer! I WILL NEVER SO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! read more

Worst sporting goods selection in the Treasure Valley and even WORSE customer service. Honestly don't even know how this place is still in business. I give em about another year now with Scheel's which is hands-down better in every regard. Even the SW in Nampa is 1000x better than this location. read more

They usually have good stock and reasonable prices but the employees are Walmart level incompetent and unhelpful.

I was unsuccessful finding what I needed at Cabela's (an anniversary gift for my husband) and decided to try Sportsman's Warehouse for the same item. Sportsman's had what I needed, but not the right size. Luckily, I asked for help, and Chase appeared. CHASE was AWESOME (Meridian store)! Chase helped me navigate through the different Sitka jackets and even called another store for the size I was inquiring about. While he was busy on the phone, I continued to look through the hunting jackets. Chase sent another associate over to me to help with any questions I might've had while he was stuck on the phone. Afterwards, I questioned Chase about a different jacket (still a Sitka), he patiently answered all my questions, and even queried my husband over the phone, to find out exactly what he needed. I can't say enough about how well represented Sportsman's Warehouse is by this young man! After this very positive experience with Sportsman's, I will definitely begin my shopping there from now on, and likewise, I will be happy to refer any friends. Bonus***their Sitka was on sale! read more

No ammo in stock when I went, except a few boxes of 45-70, 3 25 packs of .357, and 2 boxes of 9mm. All of the shelves are empty. They also allow only 2 boxes TOTAL to be purchased. On top of that, the long haired sales associate at the gun counter had ATTITUDE dripping off of his body posture and facial expression. I got the feeling he hated me....? WTH happened to this place? I shopped here last year and people were nice and they had ammo in stock. No this is a shell of a store, and the workers are just plain mean. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Excellent service. Bought a handgun and they were super helpful in guiding me to the best decision. Everyone is wearing a face mask so it's pretty COVID friendly, as well. read more

Representatives at the gun counter are very personable and knowledgeable. Great selection of firearms.

Michael in the fishing department loves and knows his SHIT!! So happy he helped me. I'm going to tell everyone to ask for him.

Mike and Ronnie were very helpful!! We came in asking a lot of questions about Kokanee and they were able to set us up with the perfect set up! Really appreciate their candid, honest, and knowledgeable advice! We will definitely come here again! read more

Sportsman's Warehouse - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

We visited at the recommendation of a friend who bought a Green Mountain pellet grill here. A friendly salesman named Kevin immediately approached us and asked how he could help, answered my questions about the grill, and pointed out that it was on sale at a price comparable to Internet outlets with a 30 day return policy. Kevin loaded up the grill on a cart along with some bags of pellets that were also on sale, took us to checkout where he waited while a friendly cashier rung us out and got me signed up for their rewards program, then wheeled the cart out to my rig where he loaded the grill and pellets for us. Fast, friendly and knowledgeable service, great prices, a liberal return policy and someone to get it all loaded up for you -- what more can you ask for? read more

Funny how they can remove your review. Went to the Nampa location to buy Ammo and was told I could only buy two boxes of Ammo I get it some places are limited but only two boxes for a place like sportsman's, at least Cabelas it a five box limit. Not only that the man behind the gun counter was just rude. I would give a zero if I could. Can't believe these bigger stores that I have shopped with for years are turning in Nazi police regulating Ammo. What's next Sportmans you going to require a hold on Ammo and a background check? Very disappointed. read more

I have been a loyal REI and very occasionally a Cabala's customer. Impulse shopped at this store in this location. Masks are newly optional. The store was packed, and it was the Friday before Father's Day. (and 100 degrees out). Seems like a recipe for "not fabulous." We worked with Chase looking for woman's light hiking shoe. He was informed, had a great sense of humor, never made us feel rushed. He handled his part with casual professionalism (surprising for his youthful age). I'd give 5 stars because of Chase, however, one cashier open and 11 people in line seemed weak. All things considered, I will return again in the future. Well done Chase! read more

Gun department just rude, don't want to help customers at all. Taking my business to Cabela's. Would have probably spent upwards of $1,000. Too bad. read more

Called in today asking if they had life jackets. Held for a while. Then got transferred. Asked a lady if they had life jackets, then got transferred again. Asked a new lady if they had life jackets and she said "yeah we have all sorts! What are you looking for?" I explained I had a ten year old boy and then a 15 year old boy who wore an adult large. "Oh yeah, we've got you covered. Come on down." I show up less than 15 minutes later and they have one life jacket on the rack that is too big for either of my boys. I asked someone if they had more. The guy said "no that's all we have we've been out for a while. We should get some in soon though". Not going back. read more

Buyer beware. Don't buy your backpacking food here. We recently purchased our backpacking food here and over-bought by 3 packages. When I brought in my receipt to return the items they said they won't return food. It's non-perishable freeze dried food, that's been in my temperature controlled house and they won't take back. It's 2022. If easy returns are not the bedrock of brick and mortar stores they will disappear. Best of luck Sportsman's. I'm not coming back. read more

I will keep this review short and sweet. I'm giving 2 stars because I like their selection. But, this review is regarding my latest and last visit here due to the prick who was condisending to me when I had a simple question. As someone who works in a customer service role I was astonished by this individuals tone and comment. read more

Pack yer pistols, bitches.... we're in Idaho. Where fishing and hunting isn't just something to do in the mall. It's all about the great outdoors and this store has all of your needs. When you first walk in, you will be sucked into all of the photos of recent 'kills' and 'catches'. They even have a board on all of the conditions in the popular spots. I know, my lingo isn't the greatest. This store is huge.... they carry EVERYTHING and the the staff is super helpful and friendly. read more

I feel like a kid in a candy store whenever I go to Sportsman's. Tons of good fishing gear and the prices are fairly decent. I take in my reels to have bulk line put on. As long as you buy the line from them they put it on your reel for free. Makes it very convenient. Customer service is good and the staff is helpful.. willing to answer questions and offer tips. A+ in my book. read more

Bought a ZPAPM70 AK Hogue and CheyTac Freedom Forged CT15F online to be delivered to the Sportsman's on Fairview in Boise Idaho. Went into the store to pick up one of the rifles that came in on 4/18/22, went in circles with a poorly trained employee at the gun counter, asked for a manager and a man named Bishop was very quick and polite to help me in a very knowledgeable manner. I went back today 4/21/22 to pick up the second rifle that was already bought and paid for from a week before. Again I had an issue with an unprofessional short red bearded man at the gun counter so I asked for Bishop and was told he was not working today so I went to the front of the store and asked for the store manager. A lady named Dani claimed to be the store manager after listening to the issue I was having said she would handle it. I told her how Bishop had helped me a few days earlier and if he had quit and she said no, I asked if he was fired to which she didn't reply. Prior to Dani and I finalizing the transaction of the second rifle I had already bought and paid for, she stated she was not going to sell the rifle to me, where does she get off, she couldn't handle a little criticism of the store's customer service. I said I would be calling her corporate office to which she replied she had already called them. Are you seeing the picture, this lady had a hair deep up some place, she is for sure not leadership and managerial material. I get it, a lot of businesses are having a hard time finding, hiring and keeping good help but I know for a fact this is an ongoing issue at this Sportsman's Warehouse for over a year now as I witnessed the same poor service a year ago when I bought a shotgun at this same store. As for calling Sportsman's Warehouse's corporate office, good luck, all I got was, "Leave your name and number and we will get back to you.". I drove a few blocks away and found the same gun for $18 less at a store with real knowledge of guns and they were polite and had great customer service. Ya I will never buy again from Sportsman's nor will my friends and family members and I suggest you all find a better store to spend your hard earned money at. Zastava Arms ZPAPM70 AK Hogue 7.62x39mm 16.3in Black Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle - 30+1 Rounds Quantity: 1 Item #:  1676205 Refund reason: Abandoned $999.99 *ABANDONED MY ASS - POOR PLACE TO PURCHASE GUNS read more

This sporting goods store has just about everything that you can think of that you would need. I just went in to check it out since I'm new to the area and was pleasantly surprised. My husband said 'Now you won't have a hard time finding things to buy for me!' Since we now that he wants just about everything in the store I don't suspect that it will be difficult for holiday purchases! I'm going back to get a smoker for myself as soon as I have saved my allowance, LOL! read more

Awesome customer services! Don't know why people keep leaving bad reviews. I love it that they are protecting all their employees and other guest with great COVID-19 guidelines. Always great service from Ever in Firearm and Kaden in Camping! Great price with ethics and integrity! Common sensed people with great services! Just don't ask stupid questions or demand services as if You were a King. read more

I will not be shopping here again I am disabled and can not wear a mask I was confronted by two employees (Alex/JR or JD, I don't remember) who approached me not politely and said you need to wear a mask or leave I explained my multiple disabilities as to why I can not wear a mask and pointed out I was abiding by 6ft distancing and that the store was practically empty when they came to tell me standing well within MY 6ft safety zone they don't care that I'm disabled it's company policy and I can put a mask on or leave). It was a horrible experience and I'm only posting my experience In hopes know one else has to deal with being treated so badly!! Needless to say I left with an anxiety attack and apparently because I'm disabled NOT ALLOWED to shop here per corporate! read more

Consistently poor customer service and arrogant staff in the two stores I've been in in Boise and Albany, Oregon. Will not enter these stores again. read more

Horrible customer service and system that doesn't work. Ordered ammo online for pickup the following day. Took my money right away then never completed the order. Tried to contact them was told store can't help at all must call online support. NEVER answer the phone and tell you to leave a number and they will get back in 24 to 72 hours. NEVER call back. NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN!!!!!!!! read more

I attempted to return a box of Daisy CO2 cartridges this evening that I had purchased there just a few hours earlier. When I got home and opened the box I discovered them to be the wrong style. They had no threads to attach them to my device. When I bought them an associate told me "these here are what you need" so I bought them. I was unable to return immediately but did so as soon as I could. I was told I could not exchange or return them because they don't know if I used them them brought them back. Basically accusing me of being a thief. Also you can indeed tell if they have been used or not. To use one, one must puncture the metal cap covering the outlet. This is a fairly thick metal, not tin foil as the contents are under a lot of pressure and it would be very easy to tell if it was punctured or doctored to look like it hadn't been. I've been a long time customer and have spent a couple grand in the last year on knives, gun parts, ammunition and gear. I've purchased several firearms from them in the past, I shudder to think how much I've spent in that store since it opened, hell, I got Ted Nugents autograph on a copy of Kill it and Grill it there 14-15 years ago but will no longer give them my business. I'll go out of my way to a store that treats customers with respect. All over a $10.59 purchase. Poor business if you ask me, thank you Mr. Hunting manager. On the bright side the young lady that cashiered me was also working the return/license desk when I came back to return them and she was very nice, polite and a pleasure to deal with. read more

Bought a gun here. I shot that gun. It worked. Came back a few times and bought bullets to go into the gun I bought from here. The bullets worked. That's all I need. read more

Prices could be more competitive. Service is always great though and they have a decent stock. Right now at the firearms counter, they have a few boxes of 22lr but not priced low. What do you expect though, 22lr is almost impossible to find lately read more

Went here the other day to look at purchasing a new knife. They have a HUGE selection of knives so I would be there all day looking and comparing different knives or searching online for the reviews. But, I didnt... the gentlmen behind the counter was very knowledgable and helpful with my search and was very patient while I had my thought processes. Lol overall it was a great experience and I am glad that they have some real experts behind the counters to assist you, even if you have no idea what your looking for. Grade A sevice! read more

Went fishing with my husband and kids. We went to Sportsman's Warehouse to get our fishing supplies. They had everything we needed. Worms, hooks, weights and fishing poles also great customer service! read more

Amazing customer service! Went here to buy my first handgun and the guy at the gun counter was amazingly helpful. Paid equal attention to each customer and did not seem frustrated or anything by the non stop questions and customers coming up to the counter. He spent at least an hour showing me different guns and even told me not to rush buy to take my time. So I didn't even buy a gun that day. A few days later I had come to a decision and a new guy was behind the counter but he was just as helpful and the prices were cheaper than other stores I had looked at. It was truly a great shopping experience. read more

Bought 3 rod holders for my boat at SW at an affordable price and I didn't have to wait for them to be shipped! They beat cabela's price (only 1 rod holder on the shelf) by several dollars each. Definitely recommend unless you like waiting for your stuff to arrive via UPS. read more

Awesome customer service. Saved me lots of money! I went and purchased all my hunting gear for the year and a few AR15 accessories and the employees were very knowledgeable! read more

Randy & Tom in the archery dept. are great people! I would recommend them any day! They take the time to understand your needs and make recommendations based upon that. They both have helped me with my new bow many times and made numerous recommendations. Great people & great store! read more

Sportsman Warehouse is great place to buy any kind of sporting and camping gear. Great selection of New Guns and shooting supplies and hunting and fishing gear. Customer service is a big draw and they know what they are talking about. They also have outdoor clothing and boots and shoes. read more
