It's time I put in writing how my wife and I feel about Kyle who works in the automotive…read moredepartment. What a valuable employee. Our last encounter with Kyle was regarding a battery that gave out on us as we tried to head out to Fargo. I jumped my car and got it running and was going to get it taken care of in Fargo. I called Kyle to get necessary information about my battery he said, "Why don't you drive over here first rather than getting it taken care of in Fargo, you might save having trouble on the way?" How often do you encounter folks that put the customer first as Kyle did. Of course when got to the Alexandria store Kyle was waiting and we were on our way soon thereafter. I think it is important for society to put a voice to outstanding service as provided by Kyle. Jim Walters, EdD

I drove all the way from Saint Paul because of the great sale here. The staff was very friendly and…read morehelpful. An employee helped me with a few considerations for my new rifle. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. 5 stars on price, 5 stars on customer service. Also had a much better selection of knives compared to most gun stores. A lot of places will mark-up really cheap knives but the prices here seemed to be what they should be.

Sad to say, Jakes Bikes dissapointed us greatly.We really shopped and researched EBIKES.As they…read moreare $$$$$ We are elderly and our concern was having great support and service.After we bought the ebike the decline began The service took a nose dive after the 2ond summer owning it The bike had very low mileage and somehow the chain fell off. Jake came out and in seconds it was fixed.The next day when my husband was goint to go ride,It would not even start. 1 WEEK later we recieved a bill for the ''CHAIN being put on track" IT WAS ALMOST $200.00!!!!! I was insulted,as he NEVER said that would be the cost.I was stunned when I emailed him and asked why so much He got defencive and stated he told us that is what he charges...I know that we are very cautious when we spend in a luxury.As my jusband is very economicly conservative,he would not do that without a discussion. I was very respectful and he became indignant,and said, that he was charging the fee anyways.It was so much to do a seconds work.He said the bikes are $$$$$$$ so is everything else so much because I sell $$$$$bikes.He did not care that after he left it did not even start! Really, don't you think it was common sence to just allow it to start.I spoke about my years of owning a retail store, and I was so successful becaise not only was I talented.I was never rude or dismissive to a client if they needed anything.When we sell anything thats only a small part,of having 1 sale or getting many!REFERALS ARE A RETAILERS STRONGEST TOOL IN NARKETING He ended up simply acting as if we were being needy and demanding.Stand behind the items you sell.Never argue and act justified in exploiting a vulnerable adult! I call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face. Too bad, I was going to also going to buy a bike,but now? NO. I AM NOT.That act and inflated ego just cost Jake future biz,and services.Penny wise, dollar foolish!

I get to Alex every 3 months for work and live 3 hours away. She emailed them earlier in the week with no response and then called.

On the positive side they have everything you need for fishing from fishing line hooks sinkers to…read moremuskie gear, rods and reels from low end to high quality, and all the ice fishing gear you would need during that season and pretty good live bait. Don't expect much for employee assistance although there are one or two guys that will step forward IF they are working. The others sit on their little stools at the counter and chat with each other, on rare occasion they will even acknowledge you. They could definitely be more welcoming Fleet Farm is less expensive but of course they don't have a great selection of live bait

STAY AWAY FROM HERE…read more The reason I titled my review this is because this place is worthless. Out of the 3 managers that work there 2 of them are the best. Unfortunately the older gentlemen that is manager is just so lazy and always looks like he's depressed and mad at the world. I heard that he makes people uncomfortable, especially those that work with him. One of the gentleman that works there told me that the older gentlemen manager ran into bathroom and about 10 minutes later he ran to use the toilet and opened the stall door to use it and the older gentlemen manager was using bathroom and didn't lock door and it all made him uncomfortable need better management. Selections are ok but this place never has shoes in my size WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE NOT EVEN A DEAD RAT

When I called back 2 days later, I spoke with another employee who informed me that they were no longer shipping skis and saving them for sales in their retail store. I live a few hours outside of St. Cloud. I found this entire interaction to be pretty off-putting and don't appreciate the mixed information and "gate-keeping" of winter sports equipment. I feel like I was treated pretty poorly by these folks. Maybe if I was born in a different zip code I could buy some skis this season, eh? Seems fair.

My first (and last) order with Speedy Worm was pretty ridiculous...and definitely NOT speedy…read more I ordered 250 worms (and the bait puck) on Wednesday, May 30th (see photo). On Monday, June 4th they told me they were "back ordered" (see photo). It took them 5 days to bother to tell me that they were out of product??? HORRIBLE customer service, definitely asleep at the wheel over at Speedy Worm headquarters. When I contacted them the next day to tell them to cancel, they changed their mind and told me they found some worms and they could ship the following morning. So they shipped the poor little worms, and I finally got my product on Thursday -- a grand total of 8 days from beginning to end. Needless to say, I could have driven to my local Petco a couple hundred times in the amount of time it took this whole fiasco to play out. The ONLY good thing is the worms came alive...but it took 8 days. I could have walked to Alexandria and it would have been faster. I'm not mad that you were out of worms, Speedy Worm. I'm mad that it took you 5 days to tell me. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I started worm composting around the beginning of the year. My main goals - to have nutritious…read moreworm castings for my fruits/vegetables & to have fishing bait whenever I feel the urge to wet a line. This was my first time purchasing worms online & was unsure of what to expect - will the worms die during shipping?, will the worms be uber-small? etc. I ordered 250 European nightcrawlers during the weekend. Euro's are bigger (around twice the size) than the more common composting worm, the Red Wiggler, which makes them more ideal for bait. Red Wigglers do have the advantage of living longer & reproducing faster. I was notified the shipment was mailed Monday afternoon w/ tracking number and I received them today, Wednesday. I am well pleased. All the worms were lively & large. I recommend Speedy Worm for people interested in starting their own worm composting bin. It's very simple to start & requires little attention.
