Buckeye Sports Center - Shame on you!!!…read more Saturday of last week I went to Buckeye Sports Center to pickup my skis that were being tuned and to pickup another set of older skis that I attempted to sell at their annual ski swap. My older skis did not sell and I needed to pick them up. I was late picking up my skis as a result of my Father's illness, death and funeral. Buckeye Sports Center informed me that because I was late picking up my skis from the ski swap that I was not entitled to the return of my skis or the 200 dollars that I was attempting to sell them for (for which I was to receive store credit). Please note that Buckeye Sports still had plenty of other skis in back remaining to be picked up, they just for a very odd reason did not have my skis. I gave my return ticket to the store clerk and he stated that their records indicated that someone had already picked up my skis. My response was, "well clearly you gave my skis to the wrong person." The clerk responded, "how do we know that" - implying that I was lying to him. Please note that I have been a customer of Buckeye Sports for several decades and as recently had 4 pairs of skis tuned by them. I asked the clerk to review the situation with the owner of Buckeye Sports who was in back and he did. The owner did not have the respect, nor the character, to speak directly with me and instructed the clerk to tell me that there was nothing ownership was willing to do. Thereby callously disregarding why I was late picking up the skis and completely ignoring the fact that the reason why the skis were not there was because his employees made a mistake and gave my skis to another customer who had similar skis. Mistakes happen, but there is no excuse for Buckeye Sports' poor treatment of me as their customer and unwillingness to correct the mistake that was made by their staff member. Needless to say, I will never shop at Buckeye Sports. Their actions yesterday demonstrate bad business practices and even worse business ethics.

They did an excellent job educating me about my new boat as this is my first boat after purchasing a Hobie Pro Angler from them years ago. They put a lot of time, attention, and detail into prepping my boat so it would be water ready. They worked with me to get all the features on the boat that met my needs. VIP Treatment with the boat pickup as they were flexible with scheduling, had a congratulations sign, everyone walking on the boat took their shoes off, they consistently offered drinks/restroom, their service guys came out to answer technical questions, and they highlighted critically important parts of the manual so I may quickly revisit for review as a lot of information was covered during pick up. They don't just want to sell you, but they want to make sure you are set up for success, you are safe, and you have an all around great experience on the water and with Buckeye. Customer oriented all around. Would recommend anyone give Buckeye the first stop before looking elsewhere.

Reciprocals beware! The GM has implemented a new made-up rule at these 5 locations within the…read morefranchise making it impossible for anyone to be able to use a reciprocal reservation at there locations. If you plan on coming here, make sure you tell anyone associated to Freedom that you have been in Ohio for two weeks. Upon arriving at the marina from out of state, I was told by the dock master that the GM put a new rule in effect that reciprocals are required to quarantine for two weeks prior to using a Freedom boat. They stated that the rule was due to the governor making it mandatory to quarantine upon entering Ohio. This is not true. Upon reviewing this policy on the governors website, we found out this was an advisory to quarantine if out of state visitors feel sick, this is not a mandatory quarantine in Ohio. Upon making contact with Chris, the GM, and explaining the inaccuracies with the information he is providing members, Chris decided to change his policy from being a state ordinance to his own policy and would not allow us to use boats at this franchise without quarantining for two weeks. He said it was to limit any possible exposure to his dock hand. Mind you I spent an hour with his dock hands, in person, none of which were wearing masks, having to deal with this problem for no reason. Management must not be too concerned if they don't even have a policy requiring their dock employees to wear something as basic as a mask. Had they just let us utilize the boat, being that we followed all of the COVID procedures outlined in the reservation system when we booked the boat, then we would have spent all of 2 minutes with the dock master and been on our way off the dock in our boat. My home franchise is Tampa, I plan on sending a note our management requesting they enact the same rules for Ohio-based residents being that there is an abundance of Ohio reciprocals using boats at our locations. These people do not use common sense. All of the reciprocals I have been to over the past few months know how to operate, they have all enacted contactless reservations. You show up, the dock master preps the boats and calls you when its ready to disembark, he vacates the boat while you and your family board, he comes back and assists in taking off from the dock. Also beware, if they feel it is too choppy out at 8am when they open, they will close the marina for the day, whether the weather is supposed to clear or not. At 8am, there was a small craft advisory in effect and 2-4' waves. When we planned on coming to the marina at 11am, the weather was gorgeous and there was minimal chop on the water. Really the ideal weather for boating on Lake Erie. They refused to allow members on the water because they decided it was too choppy at the start of the day. Never heard of this policy. At every other location I have visited, if it is choppy early on, the dock masters put a message out that there will be a weather delay and if it subsides they will resume operations. Not here. All or nothing. If you have any plans to come to Ohio and go boating, your best off paying for a rental out of pocket like we had to do. I have never been treated so poorly by management at any other location. Thanks for ruining our trip.
