The price was about $14 more than I could have purchased on amazon, but worth having a local shop to support and go to god support. They also had the specialized power seat that I wanted and at a comparable price for specialized products. It's a small shop but overall good selection of items and decent selection of bikes. I get back home quite a bit and great to see locals that cycle

I went to PH on a random Thursday afternoon and Kelsey (sp) was fantastic. She was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. She helped me narrow down what features/specs were important to me and then let me shoot some to make my final decision. Once I decided she spent more time making sure my set up was just right and gave me some coaching on my new nose button that was really beneficial. Her help didn't end there, before I left she invited me back to shoot with the crew to fine tune anything if needed! I'm telling you guys and gals, this woman knows her stuff!

Their website does at least say buyer pays return shipping, but they charge you for both ways. I called to ask about this but was told they "can't" do anything about it. Then I even get an email from the Columbia Missouri (Tigers) store asking me to rate my transaction. So here it is: very unpleasant experience. It was a complete waste of time and $18 in shipping for nothing. Buy your Tigers gear elsewhere. Anywhere other than Rally House, because they obviously could care less about you, the customer.

I have been an Alpine Shop customer for years. They have a good selection for a smaller store, and…read morethe staff really know their stuff. Because they are a smaller shop, you get more hands-on customer service. They also offer classes and lectures for different outdoor activities (kayaking, hiking, etc.). It is a great place to go if you are a novice or a more experienced outdoorsman. My most recent experience at the Columbia Alpine Shop illustrates just why I like this place so much. My husband and I went in to get new hiking boots. We are getting into overnight backpacking, and need hiking boots that can stand up to long, multi-day hikes. A staff member (named Adam) approached us within a minute or so to see if we needed help. He then spent over and hour helping us try on and test various boots. Being an experienced backpacker, Adam had some personal recommendations on boots and was able to highlight in detail the pros and cons of each boot we tried. We had done some research going in, but Adam helped us make a much more educated choice. We were able to test the boots on a hill imitator Alpine Shop had in the boot section, and they even let us put on a pair of thicker socks (without buying them) to test fit. This is a friendly, laid-back shopping experience, and while inventory might not be as large as big chain stores, the service and expertise you get at Alpine Shop makes it my top choice for outdoor gear shopping in Columbia.
