The place is medium sized, but cramped with loads of things on the floor and on the wall. If you go in for the first time, it is super overwhelming. There are things everywhere and in no particular place. Customer service leaves you alone. Saying this, pretty much all the people who come into the store buys something. Why? Customer service knows their stuff and doesn't push you to buy what you don't need or upscale you to buy mor expensive. The stuff they have is really well made and you cannot find a better deal anywhere else. Love this place for tennis shoes and racket. They also have pickleball paddles and balls etc.

I came in on a college budget hoping to pick up a used soccer ball or tennis racket to help emerge from winter hibernation and be outdoors, but the selection and prices made it so I got both! Consigners set the initial prices and get 50% back, so it's luck of the draw as to whether you'll get a good deal. Got a Dunlop racket ($33) that works like a charm, and the used tennis balls ($0.50/ea) are really worth it if you don't mind a Sharpie'd "T" on it. The soccer ball, I made the mistake of buying a lower-end Tektonik ($17) one. BIG mistake. After one use, it began cracking apart massively -- likely an issue of the ball being stale and/or overinflated. Although this is mostly the fault of a bad consigner, I was disappointed that I couldn't get anything back for it after I called and warned them about the other two they had on their shelf. Part of me is kicking myself that I didn't go for the nicer, likely better-maintained $22 Puma ball on the rack -- ended up dishing out another $25 for a new one at SoccerWest anyways. But I'm wondering whether I should sell my new ball to them when I myself have to head out of town, or whether I should go through the effort of selling it on Craigslist/Marketplace to give someone (and probably myself) peace of mind. TLDR: Know what items to buy used, and which are buyer-beware. Quality control can only go so far.

When ringing everything up he was even able to work up a bit of a discount for us - and gave my son a free ball.

We did the entire 'snowboard alley' of W 4th and this place had by far the best deals. Not only were the prices better to begin with, they also carried more classic styles and colours in jackets and pants that suited my friend's fashion tastes. The staff were really helpful picking out a snowboard that was a great price, European-made and would last him for years. The graphics were pretty sweet, too. The board was freshly waxed and they set it up with the bindings in-store. In addition to already low prices and some sale items, the staff cut my friend a deal since he was buying a bunch of gear. It was the cherry on top! This shop also has non-snow-related sporting gear on the second floor.

Of the many board shops in this area I walked into this one first. I was coming from out of town…read moreand looking for a whole new setup including a snowboard, bindings, boots and bag. When I walked in I felt out of place as most beginner snowboarders probably would feel. It just looked like a small, cramped board shop to me but compared to the other places, I'd take that over the stuffy, boutique type of shops the others seemed to be. Jess at West Coast was very helpful asking me questions to better hone in on what type of equipment would best suit me. She was super informative and didn't pressure me to commit to purchasing anything. In fact, she even told me to go to the other shops in the area to compare equipment and pricing. Pretty ballsy but it made me feel at ease right away. I went to all the other shops and no one made me feel comfortable about being there. Very few questions and assistance. Instead it almost felt like they were uptight because I may not have looked like a typical snowboarder. Needless to say I went back to West Coast and bought the lot, about $1500 worth of equipment. Then I put it to use going up to Whistler the next four days and loved every second of it. The board (Bataleon Goliath) performed great and my feet felt perfect throughout every run. Lastly, I would've given them 5 stars but the person helping my girlfriend with her ski boots was unknowledgeable and not a very big help to her. If you do go to this place go see Jess. There was another Aussie guy behind the counter that was giving his input and helping me out as well but I didn't catch his name. Mahalo, K

A good place for off-season, unadvertised, discontinued equipment / bike, etc. But he service staff are questionable. Immature dudes chatting in the back, while the sales person writes up my service order. Aren't they supposed to be working? Here's the bigger-butt. When I came by to pick, it was not ready when promised. On top of that a mechanic signed-off on it as being completed. It was not touched! I made a stink about it, being way before the peak season,the manager did the right thing - gave me an extra discount off the already discount. And there's more... I dropped by 3 months later for the "free adjustments" (for 1 year). No service person there. Took the bike to the W Broadway location who did the job the same day I brought it there, done by profession mechanics. It's location, location, location?

I was…read moreseeking a couple of swimsuits, but did not know whether they had the brand in style and size in stock - a look-see was in order. The result -- 'yes', to the brand and style, but 'no', to my size. So returned home and went online. I had peaked at SportChek's online store earlier, and knew they carried the brand, and style of suit I wanted, but now it was time to get serious, and see if they had my size in stock. Success, they had the brand and style in my size, with a few colour options available, and at a good value price. I ended up ordering three suits. Heh, when you're like me and truly dislike shopping for clothes -- it's so difficult for me to find 'what' I want, 'when' I want it, and 'in' my size -- so catching what you can while the option presents itself, is a personal shopping motto of mine!! Shopping at their online store went quickly and smoothly. And their follow up's to my order, were timely, and informative. There was no charge for delivery, as I had purchased over the minimum required amount. My order shipped via Canada Post (from Calgary) -- SportChek notified me of this Monday, I received the parcel in my mail box here Wednesday. I was very pleased with the results of my online ordering with SportChek. Now 'when' and 'where' to try out the new suits?!!
