Wayne who has worked at REI ( different stores) for 17 years helped me find the right shoes. His recommendations were so different than AI but I found a shoe that has the arch support and stability . It was an awesome shopping experience. As much as we love technology, there's nothing better than an in person experience with a salesperson who knows what's out there. BTW, Wayne also told me which brands I could use my 20 % off coupon for members during the Memorial day sale.

I love this REI location, it's my favorite compared to the Manhattan Beach store. The customer…read moreservice here truly makes a difference. Wayne was incredibly helpful; I came in feeling lost while trying to choose new running shoes, especially as a beginner training for a marathon. Even though the shoes selection part was short staffed, he still took the time to walk me through the differences between options and helped me feel confident in my choice. Honestly, if I had asked for help the first time, this probably wouldn't have been my second purchase. The department itself is spacious and wellorganized, with a great selection for a variety of outdoor activities.

THANK YOU SO MUCH and BIG SHOUTOUT TO JEN IN THE RUNNING SHOE DEPARTMENT SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING…read moreGIVE HER A RAISE AND EXTRA VACATION DAYS! I recently went to snails pace, but Jen WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was just exploring different options and she was able to give my gf and I some pointers. Without any equipment or fancy machines she grabbed our shoes and was able to take a look at how we walked. She said I was normal, but my girlfriend's feet were supinated looking at the bottom of the shoe. WE WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED. I tried 5 different pairs but she was able to give tips on running a marathon as well! My pair of Saucony Guide 18 were only $98 with the discount we get. I got some Feeture socks as well and it was very comfy on my run. Thank you so much!

We absolutely love Sports Basement--this location has quickly become our go-to. The store is super…read moreclean, well organized, and has a great selection for everything from camping to everyday outdoor gear. We actually prefer this one over the Long Beach location. The only downside (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that no one mentioned the Basementeer membership discount to us during our first visit--even while we were checking out. We ended up discovering it ourselves later and signed up online, and it's such a great deal that we definitely would've used it on that first purchase. Overall though, still a fantastic store with a lot to offer--we'll definitely keep coming back!

Went to buy an advertised grill and was hoping to see it on display before buying. Since there…read morewasn't one on display I asked if we could open the box. The person helping looked uncomfortable, so I asked what their return policy was and he said "90 days even if the box is open." So if I buy it and open in the parking lot and don't like it I could return it no question asked which makes no sense. He agreed so he said let me check with my manager first. After a long wait he said the manager said buy it and go out in the parking lot. Great customer service......unbelievable.

I was able to try on what I needed and they do offer military and first responder discounts with a valid ID so that is awesome. I ultimately came back and exchanged my pants and got them shipped to me almost immediately since they didn't have them in store. I saved a lot of money so it was worth coming into the store!

The wait at the gun counter is long, because the location is fairly busy. Buying guns take a decent amount of time in California. They aren't going to magically go faster just because you are in a hurry. Have realistic expectations, have your forms of IDs in order, and you'll be good to go to buy your gun. Additionally, the archery and fishing departments have very knowledgeable staff and are a huge wealth of information.

He has purchased a firearm from Turners and never had this issue at any other location.

However, my most recent visit has been frustrating. I dropped off a handgun at the end of November for three services and was quoted 6-8 weeks max. I had planned to attend a training in late February, so based on that timeline I expected to have my handgun back by the end of January. We are now approaching 15 weeks, and my firearm is still not ready. Can't even reschedule my class as the staff has been unable to give me a date each time I've called. I didn't want to leave a negative review because my previous experiences here have been great, but this delay is honestly unreasonable. If I would have known the turn around time I would have skipped on services. A friend of mine dropped off his handgun at a different shop for the same services and had it back within a month. I am paying full price for 2 of the 3 services so I might as well have just taken it to the other shop.. I would still consider purchasing items from this store, but unfortunately I will most likely not be returning here for gunsmithing services.
