    This was our second time visiting Monkey Sports, and both experiences have been great! The first time, we traded in and bought a new bat. The cashier was super personable and talked to us like real people - not just another "next in line." It was such a refreshing experience. Yesterday, we went back to get our daughter's glove (Wilson A2000) broken in. We had originally taken it to Dick's (since Irvine is a bit of a drive for us), but her glove was still so stiff she could barely keep the ball in it. We decided to give Monkey Sports a try - and wow, what a difference! Her glove now feels just like her old, well-loved one. The gentleman who helped us was knowledgeable, kind, and clearly knew his stuff. I didn't catch his name (tall, young-looking, glasses), but he was awesome. We dropped off her glove and when we picked it up, tried it on and was not 100% sure about it, so he took the glove and worked on it some more (we didn't ask him to do this...he could tell my daughter wasn't completely confident in how it closed and offered - which further shows that they really do care about customer satisfaction). He worked on her glove until she was happy with how it felt and worked. I'm so bummed I didn't get his name....but we know that in the future, we're going to find him behind that glove counter the next time she needs a glove worked on! Lesson learned: for the amount we invest in our gear, it's worth going somewhere that truly knows what they're doing. Thank you so much, Monkey Sports - you've got loyal customers now!

    I have had to visit this store far too many times over the past three weeks thanks to my very…read moreactive six year old. The store itself is massive and carries an enormous selection of items. It is generally clean, bright, and well organized, with plenty of sections to wander through and browse. That said, nothing here is really cheap. There are a lot of interesting and useful products, but the prices are high enough that I constantly find myself hunting for clearance items. It would be very easy to blow through a one thousand dollar gift card in a single visit. Thankfully, the local 20 percent off coupons help make purchases feel more reasonable. The staff appears to be made up mostly of high school and college age employees, and that shows in the customer service. It is not bad, just very young and a bit unpolished. Most employees seem concentrated in the shoe section or working the front registers, with limited presence elsewhere on the floor. The running shoe selection for adults is a definite plus, with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, it is not a terrible experience, but it is not a great one either. I will continue to shop here because it is one of the few places that reliably carries sporting goods, but it is more of a necessity than a destination.

I hope management improves staff engagement so future customers feel valued.

    Over the years, I have only placed orders through the REI website (w/ my Lifetime Membership), but…read morethe past couple of months, I have had more miss than hits with my orders and felt like I had been spending way too much of my gift card money on return costs than keeping the actual products. I know there is a REI in Arcadia but I rarely visit that area these days. A Friend recommended this location over the Arcadia one, as it is bigger and it was perfect because it happened to be on my route one day. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and was able to return my online order quickly. The cashier was very kind and the return was quick. I never used the product, the sizing was just way off, even though I had followed the product's website video guide. When I visited, it just so happened to be Member Days so I took a look around. This location certainly has "everything." It feels rare to have a fully stocked store these days. Since I did not need anything at the moment, I plan on stopping by again in a few months when I have an idea of what to use my gift cards on. There were employees throughout the store and they often greeted me and asked if I needed help. Great customer service! There was also restrooms for customers to use. There was plenty of parking in shopping center and overall, had a great first experience.

EVA and manager AARON falsely accused me of returning the wrong item, even though the item matched my REI account, app, original tags, barcode, and product details. They made this accusation in front of my family and other customers, which was very embarrassing. I asked them a simple question: "What exactly is different?" They refused to answer. That tells me they had no real answer. They accused me first, then avoided explaining their own accusation. While EVA was still processing the return, AARON told me to leave and threatened security for no valid reason. After all that, they still processed the return. So the item was correct all along. This was a false accusation, poor judgment, zero accountability, and terrible management. REI leadership should review this incident seriously.

I went by to pick up a cable cord, found it by myself, total waste of time. Dropped by to pick up a lamp and television because I just moved to a new apartment, and the cashier was beyond stupid. Waited in line behind some customer who just bumped into me, like actually bumped against my shopping cart and didn't apologize or anything. Waited in line for 30 minutes and I'm not joking, the cashier is slow and rude. So she also told me that I was next in line to the cashier next to her, only problem, she only announced it secretly to the cashier and didn't tell the customer. I had to speak up and tell the customer behind her that I was next in line. I don't work here, the original cashier should have established that I was next in line, it's not some secret. So I yelled at her that she needed to tell the customer and the cashier instead of just telling me I had to wait for the other cashier. I was about to leave the store, this idiot just took the next customer and the other cashier took her next customer while I had to wait standing there telling the cashier that I was next in line. These morons play it off like it's normal behavior, so I took a picture of the cashier who originally screwed up, and she suddenly spoke English and got upset with me. She clearly wasn't going to get my phone, but she tried to. Either way, the cashier sucks, she takes forever to do a simple job designed for teenagers. Also, nobody assists you here, nobody cares about their jobs here. When you buy a lamp you have to go to another area to find the light bulbs for it. Plus the parking lot sucks, people hit your car with their doors. If you complain they don't review the cameras, they don't want to be liable for it. This place is garbage. Shop somewhere else.
