    Olight Mini Marauder from OpticsPlanet.com

    I ordered a flashlight on Aug 31, 2024, for $125.99. Opticsplanet.com said that it would ship in 13-22 days. After not receiving it and following up monthly until March 2025, I finally took a CSR's recommendation to switch to a different color of the same flashlight. It shipped on April 21, 2025. Because the color was changed, they billed me $175.99. I think that this is partially on me, because I didn't clarify that they were going to honor the original price. I spoke to a CSR today and they refunded me $10 (which is better than nothing, but $40 less than I would have liked). So, if you want to wait the better part of a year for something to ship, and being charged more than you had agreed to, order from optics planet.com. Personally, I will avoid them.

    My New Holosun Sight has Shipped
    Dave O.

    I found Optics Planet through a highly skilled firearm's expert, although this is a distributor and not a manufacturer they completely understand quality optics and a host of other products and their customer service is exceptional starting with the accurate description of their products and the way communicate throughout the entire process including after the sale. I was looking for a quality "green dot" sight I know most want the "red dot" sights and although the later seems to be the most popular I easily justified my preference based on my application. I chose the Holosun Elite Micro 1x20mm, 2MOA Dot / 65 MOA Circle Green Dot Sight although there are many options on the market the frequency of and price was definitely a part of my decision tree. This giant retailer has a lot of inventory which mean fast shipping and it's free as are returns if you miss. I am extremely happy with my purchase and have my eye on a number of other products after exploring their online store. Just in case you're wondering why I chose green vs red: Due to the wavelength of the color green, green dot sights can get far brighter with less effort than their red counterparts. As humans, our eyes will also notice green easier than red, making it seem even more luminous than it is. The light waves from a green dot sight will not flood your eye's cones like those from a red dot, and as such will distort significantly less than a red dot sight. If you worry about the strain on your eyes, a green dot sight might be the right option for your gun too. Green Dot Sight are a little more expensive but for the price I felt was justified, I'll actually get more visibility than if I spent the same price or more for a red dot sight, so in my opinion the value-added benefits made this an easy choice...

    Beware of Optics Planet! I bought pistol slide advertised as "display with minor scratches" it showed up and is a USED return. And they won't take it back, since it was a closeout item. They don't tell you you're buying a USED RETURN! Not cool selling "fired" firearms parts out of safety concerns! Had it stated returned item I would have never purchased it.

    Worst bunch of liars! They say they have shipped your product, but in reality, they don't have it in stock. Stay Away!

    This is one of the smaller Dick's (pun not intended duh) as it is atypically housed in a 1 story…read morestrip mall building.  The store is still deceptively huge and I learned it's still sizable at about 60,000 ft2 (a dimension which I can't really relate to anyway).  They still seemed to have everything you might expect though the wife thought maybe their clothing inventory wasn't as extensive as at a bigger store.  The staffers were helpful.  This store is out of the way for us but we came up here as one of the kiddos is a participant in the Northbrook Girls Softball Association and they offered a limited time 20% off promotion applicable only to this store. They had a good supply of youth size cleats, one of the items on our shopping list, and the girls also took the opportunity to do a mini shopping spree on some of their clothing and swim wear.  Thumbs up on the store and thank you!

    Great team, great shoes AND Bug League Chew…read more Our daughter needed some soccer shoes and we just got her a pair. The kiosk with its "scan the barcode and we'll bring you the shoes" is nice! The gentleman who found the shoes was polite and helpful and got us the shoe-in-the box that matched the one on the shelf. They fit our daughter just right and will alleviate the blisters she incurred from her other pair. There was a pricing inconsistency that Manager Megan NICELY resolved. Thank you, Megan! While fixing the price we found Big League Chew... blue raspberry AND grape. A great afternoon. Thank you, Dick's Sporting Goods - Skokie!

    It's been a little while since I walked into a sporting goods store. And for that purpose, I was…read moreappreciative that DICK's Sporting Goods still exists as a brick-and-mortar business for such. This place is huge and they have a massive inventory of all things sports related. It's nice that you can still walk into a place and touch and feel the merchandise you might be interested in. On this visit, it was to look for a youth softball mitt that I will be gifting to one of the grand-darlings. The last time I was in a DICK's, it was to buy a White Sox cap and it was a couple years back when they were doing a wee bit better than they are this year! The pricing here does generally seem a bit elevated but that comes with the brick-and mortar business and the privilege of inspecting what you're buying. Who remembers Sportsmart, or Sports Authority, or further back Herman's? They're all gone now, and I think DICK's is it these days for sporting goods. I'm glad they are still at it for us.

Returns with the receipt or the app are very quick. There's usually always someone available on the floor that is willing to assist. Sometimes you can find a good deal in store and lately there have been better deals on shoes (Hokas, Nikes) then I've seen in other stores. I wanted to give a special shout out to the 'heavy lifting' crew that helped me with moving a ping pong table. They attempted to place it in my van every which way in the freezing cold, which was unfortunately too small. I came back the following day and a couple of the guys did remember me quickly brought out the table, and they were very friendly and extremely helpful.
