The selection is incredibly well curated, with the perfect mix of vintage, western wear, and unique accessories. Over the years, my husband has picked up some of his all-time favorite beanies here, and I've found everything from vintage Levi's to a fabulous furry purple jacket that still gets compliments. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owner is truly one of my favorite people. You can tell how much care and personality goes into the shop. If you're in Oceanside and love vintage, don't miss Ransack. It's a gem and one of our favorite stops every time we're in town.

Cool atmosphere at first. The customer service ruined it all…read more My friends and I came in to look around and see what the store had to offer in terms of clothes and antiques. While we were browsing, the lady at the front kept hovering over us as if we were trying to steal something. It was obvious enough that we actually started laughing about it. Combined with how incredibly expensive everything was, we decided not to buy anything. We did use the photo booth a couple of times, which has about a 3 and 1/2 minute processing time. While waiting for our photos to print and looking through them together, we sat on the couch. There was no one else in the store, and we weren't being loud, rude, or causing any problems. Despite that, we were rudely told the couch was only for customers trying on clothes. Didn't know the couch was a dressing room. It felt unnecessary considering we were simply waiting for the photos we had just paid for and were about to leave. The store has a cool concept, but the customer service made it feel unwelcoming. Greet every customer with kindness. Not everyone who walks into your store is out to get you.

You never know what you are going to find, and the prices are consistently incredible. Todd, the owner, is genuinely one of the nicest, most down to earth people you will meet. He truly wants to help everyone and it trickles down to his team. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The employees are amazing as well. It feels like a family atmosphere, not just a store. Everyone is friendly, remembers your name, and goes out of their way to help. They have even offered to carry items out to my car, which you just do not see very often anymore. This place is a gem. Great deals, great people, and an all around great experience every time. Highly recommend. Twenty billion stars out of 5.

My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is just that the price points are a little higher then some other places I frequent, and they have a mix of thrift and new merch, but it's hard to tell which is which.
