Got email saying order was cancelled due to insufficient inventory, YET they still have them available in Alaska. BREAKING NEWS: UPS and others ship World Wide.

I get that it was a clearance sale product, but if you advertise it, allow customer to purchase it, pay for it, you expect it to be shipped!!!

I came in and was asked if I needed help find anything. Hopefully I didn't come off as mean as I darted straight off to vacuum bags and told the employee that no, I am all set. Checkout was equally as quick and lucky for me there was zero line. They asked if I'm military, first responder etc (they have a discount) and also asked if I'm just visiting. I replied that no, I live here. It was the nice friendly Alaska chat that I love. Good prices. Easy to find what I needed. Next time I'll have to come back and pickup new clothes for my daughter since it looks like their children's clothing section is much bigger than I've seen it before.

We stopped in because we were both on the hunt for work boots and Carhartt's. Upon entry, an awesome table with fishing paraphernalia, which was great to see since I've been tying flies to get prepped for the season. No fly tying supplies, but plenty of quality gear in the store! The staff was super nice and quick to offer assistance! We were browsing but the moment we were in the footwear section, there was someone there to assist with sizes. Excellent selection of workwear for women, plenty of Carhartt's and Dovetail clothes with sizes from 0-24 that I was able to see. A helpful gentleman mentioned that if my size wasn't on the rack, they'd be happy to check a small supply in the back and also their downtown store. That's was great to know, since I forgot about the downtown location. They have a couple of dressing rooms for trying on items prior to purchase. Although we didn't find boots for my husband, I did pick up some Dovetail work pants and overalls that are not only functional, but attractive too. Everyday clothes men's, women & children...blue collar work clothing, high vis, sportsman wear, boots & shoes and a nice selection of fishing gear to boot! They offer a rewards program, birthday coupons and veteran's discount to boot! Big Ray's is definitely worth a stop!

When we lived in Florida, boating and fishing was a thing. So we always used to go to their stores. Lines, bumpers, anchors and chains, boating needs, always a great selection. I found 65 Lb Braid. Yeah that'll work on the wall rug we imported from Turkey. I don't think the rug will bite back! LOL!

The guys working there were all so kind and helpful as we looked through everything, asked a few questions and my son also tried on a few different boots. While we were there a gal came in looking for winter gear for someone else and while she didn't really know what she was looking for, he mentioned 'our gear is more for sitting still and staying warm' and I thought that was pretty spot on. As avid hunters know, there tends to be a lot of sitting there while looking for game. I interjected to help a girl out and sent her to check out Big Rays after chatting about what she needed. Anywho, this place is great for exactly that... High end quality gear to keep you both warm and dry when the weather is absolute crap or the fall season is turning.

Today, two weeks later I went to return the size 11 boots that don't fit., that have never been worn outside, and was told that I've been banned from returns. I didn't receive any emails about this, I searched my email and my spam and deleted folders, nor did I receive any snail mail. I've been a member since 2008 and have spent over $40,000 at REI over the years, I guess that doesn't count for anything. For outdoor gear, I recommend shopping local and going to AMH. (Alaska, mountaineering and hiking.) Update: now every time I buy something from REI a manager has to come up and tell me about what a bad consumer I am before I'm allowed to buy something from them.
