DO NOT SHOP HERE!! I bought two bathing suits and a pair of…read moreShorts on a Sunday. Did not end up wearing any of them. Brought them back the next Friday ( 5 days later) with original tags still on and a receipt. Was not able to return them at all! Was told by the owner I could not even get store credit past 3 days! He pointed to the tiny print on the receipt and said " It says no returns on swimwear". Which I understand if I had even taken the tags off? I actually asked him if that was even legal? What kind of store doesn't allow you to return items with tags on and a receipt? These were NOT sale items, it was over a hundred dollars worth of merchandise. I would NEVER shop there again! What a racket. Just making money off tourists, what poor customer service!!

I purchased a beach umbrella and unfortunately the screw came out the very first day. I went back…read moreand the manager Kyle graciously provided a new pole. The next day the umbrella actually snapped at the location near the screw. I went back to the store and Kyle was there again. I explained what happened, and once again he Graciously provided a new umbrella. We opened it all up to ensure it was working. Great customer service and I would return in a heartbeat- but hopefully not to exchange an umbrella!!! Thank you for showing great service!

I found what I needed and something that I thought I would have to buy from the impersonal Electronic big A vendor, nope, they had it. The staff was genuinely friendly.

This Olympia Sports store has a great selection of shoes as well as sports attire. Everytime we…read morecome into this location they are having phenomenal sales. What I appreciate about this store is that they also always have a great selection of Portuguese soccer gear, especially now that FIFA is on the way. The staff here is always very polite and willing to help you find the right item you are looking for. Another plus about this store is that they always have a section of clearance shoes which tends to have a good selection of items.

I received a reply to my second email using their contact form, assuring me that it would ship out…read moreat the end of the week. Later I did receive an email saying my items have shipped, which was reassuring, although there was no tracking or shipping information, just a sentence asserting that it had in fact shipped. Happily, my order arrived a couple of business days later. We are very pleased with the product, which counts for a lot. I appreciate the product, which is hard to find, but this business could do a lot better in terms of communications with customers. Overall, I could recommend this seller but only if you can afford to wait more than a month to receive your items.

I strongly advise to avoid this company…read more Shipping time is beyond ridiculous, and the work performed isn't really that difficult as there are so many other operations which do the same work, I would rate the work they did about a 87 out of 100. 100 isn't that difficult, nor is alignment, and for all the fuss I would expect better, that was the first order, after the second order which simply disappeared I wont do business with them again. They avoid the phone, do not respond to voicemails even after an order has been placed, and refuse to respond to email, even after an order has been placed. Also, they ask bizzare questions. An example would be....My team name is the Tigers, use font 1A4 for the numbering and 2bot6a for the lettering, and use blue5 on red2. Then the reply will be, I cant do that because the font that LSU uses is different and they use purple and yellow. Who cares about LSU, and I wasn't looking for a replica jersey. That is just one example, there have been others.

The workers were really nice.

Taking my board in the shop and spending 30 min and not charging me. Could not have more gracious. In the store his daughters are quick at the registers. Don't worry if you see a line his clerks will move you thru. His grandson in boards etc is an impressive young man who was also patient w me. Top notch store and people. Don't go elsewhere.

we're summer renters staying in Wellfleet for two weeks and the owner of our place lends us two 20…read moreyear old Trek bicycles that we've used for the past five or six years here. Since each bike had a flat on the rear wheel,we brought them to a different bike shop first before Idle Times and they told us we needed tubes and also tires, and that with labor and parts it would be $160 or more, plus that place wasn't ready to do the job Because it needed toget the tires from its other store. When we got to Idle Times, we explained to Laird that we wanted the bikes fixed, but not "perfectly" since we don't own them. He totally understood and replaced the tubes, patched the tires, put in a spoke, replaced a cable or two, adjusted the front fork bearings and did several other things including a lot of adjustments and now the bikes work better than ever. It cost us about $120 all in (we even got it tax-free because it was tax-free week). Laird is totally knowledgeable and a great mechanic And the job was done right and done expeditiously. We could not be more pleased.

Rented a couple bikes and a kids bike trailer for the week. The tires on the trailer were…read moreunfortunately incredibly worn, to the point that the threading of the tire was visible. While noticeable, it wasn't an issue until we had a flat with both my kids inside many miles from where we started. Had to bike to Idle Times and exchange the wheel for a new one, which they were kind enough to immediately help with. However, when we returned the bikes, I mentioned this to a staff member. They stated that they were just trying to stretch the life of the trailer tires as far as possible and seemed angry when I suggested this wasn't a good idea for a trailer meant for carrying kids. The owner was even less apologetic. Over email, he insinuated that this was my fault and that the trailer must have been dragged behind a car (logistically near impossible, if you take a second to think about it..) even after the staff member had admitted fault. When pressed, he continued to double down, telling me to "take my meds" and called me "mentally ill", perhaps insults that would have been acceptable in 1990. In his final reply, he informed me that he would be going to the police if he received any more messages from me (there were only about 4 messages back and forth) to get a no trespass order. Safe to say, such an order will not be necessary, would never rent from Idle times again or step foot in their shops! Very disappointed by this experience, surely there are many better options on the cape.

Inside, you would fin anything you will find at any other ACE Hardware store, patio furniture, paint supplies, grills, screws, hammers, filters, etc. The guys I deal with while shopping were nice and knowledgeable.

When we got to our hotel in Ptown, I realized I left my phone charger on my dresser back home. I…read moreset myself to charge my phone in hubs' car 'every night'- but that thought wasn't gonna fly. Especially when I use a lot of battery life for online shopping, reading The Times, Pinterest, previewing YouTube strength training videos and of course Yelp. I could've charged my phone if my hotel room had a wireless charging station- but they don't. I could've asked for a loaner charger at my hotel (if they even had one)- but I didn't. We could've gone to the nearest CVS a short drive way- but did not. This Land's End Marine Supply (part of the True Value family) on Commercial St, however, came to the rescue the following morning we got in town. As in their 'Marine Supply' name, there are lots of fishing poles and other maritime items for sale. But if you're in dire need for anything else, this hardware store in Ptown, will save you in the quickness with the best prices and helpful service!
