I sent an email asking about return info and policy, the redirected me to a page on their website which I followed. HOWEVER, my package with the proper size equipment was shipped but it never arrived. I have emailed them 3 times now asking for clarification as to what can be done to mitigate my loss of $300.00+... it has been 2 weeks and Catherine from Op Tactical has not responded to my emails. Embarrassing for a company I used to use from time to time. Would avoid and go with USPatriot Tactical instead. Better pricing as well.

I received an email to fill out all the employment paperwork and I completed all forms within a few days. I was suppose to start the second week of July. When I called for my schedule, they said Ms. Wainright would call me back. I have not heard back from anyone. Is that how you should treat potential employees? I'm sorry to share drama like this, but people should know how they operate at the Raleigh West Marine Store!

Been trying to call for 40 minutes...phone rings 3 tines then you get a busy signal…read more So I went online to chat with a customer service rep to ask if the store is open (even though the website says they are). His reply was that there were no retail people in that could help and if I wanted to drive to the store and there is a note on the door, to let them know. It's a 45 minutes drive, so I won't do a store check for them. What company doesn't know if there store is open? All time worst response ever.

The store has tons of great outdoor gear, Patagonia items, Arcade belts, rugged wear and a great shoe wall in the back. We loved the stickers - some very unique designs! Next time, when we have more time, we'll definitely purchase some items. Great local place right on Hargett, terrific location. We paid to park nearby, $1.25 for an hour. We'll definitely return to shop here!

It was such a great experience, I went back and bought a new trailer. Thank you again for the great service , and if you are looking for anything to do with kayaking I suggest you stop here.

The salesman miraculously appears and waits on a man who came in after me. Well, maybe he didn't see me. He finally gets to me and brings me several shoes to try and then totally disappears. I needed another size. Finally, another salesman comes by and gets me another size. Then he too doesn't come back to help me. I guess they are just shoe fetchers from the back room. I was hoping to buy shoes today and wouldn't have minded the $$$ prices for good shoes. Too bad for Dick's.

By 9 am, I had a text telling me my order was ready. Woo hoo! Drove down to the store and had my pupper with me, as always! Pulled into curbside spot, very well signed by the way, and not only did the employee come out FAST but he saw my giant Lab hanging out the window and he brought him a dog biscuit! Very easy shopping experience and so fast and efficient. Other retailers offer curbside however the wait can be rather long (Sam's, I'm looking at you), but this was so quick. Highly recommend as far as shopping online and parking curbside.

Pistols looked to be priced okay, ammo was medium and there were plenty of bargains for camping gear if you looked carefully.

I was looking for another (heavier) kettlebell as well as some kettlebell workout DVDs. Anytime I need anything related to sports that I don't necessarily want to order from Amazon, I'll go to PIAS first. This is a great alternative to Dick's Sporting Goods, which is more expensive. PIAS doesn't have the clothing and most other apparel that DSG has, but you can't beat the equipment prices in here. At the other location, my sister got football pads for my nephew for half of what she would have paid elsewhere. You can get equipment for baseball, basketball, football, rollerblading, weightlifting, tennis, golf, and other items like treadmills too. Here, I got a 15-lb kettlebell (no DVDs though) and will be back for a pair of new Rollerblades. The guy who runs the place knows an area kettlebell trainer and looked up his number for me on my way out. He also offered to help me with a beginner lesson for rollerblading if I want. He is super-nice and very helpful to customers, as I noted while strolling through the store. Definitely stop here FIRST before you go anywhere else for your sports needs!
