When I ran across this site on the internet and saw their prices, I immediatly thought it had to be…read morea scam. I did some research and found out that it was a real site with real savings. I ordered a Quantum spinning reel just like the one that I purchased at Bass Pro Shop for $71.00 inc tax. The same exact reel from Sportsman's Wholesale was $37.00 inc shipping saving me $34.00. I ordered it on a Saturday and it arrived the following Friday morning just as it was stated in the purchase agreement. Ordering could not have been easier and the whole process was simplified enough for even me ( 70 yr old ), old school type who grew up buying everything from a store of one type or another. Do yourself a huge favor and give this place a chance, you will not be sorry !!!

I'm so happy I found this place. Don't get me wrong there are other shops in "fisherman's paradise"…read morebut none like this. I can't stay away and usually find myself there at least once a week. Whether for bait or more gear. They have any and everything for your fishing needs and cheaper than anywhere else. I've already purchased Fin Nor reels from them for two spinning rods and two surf poles. And did I mention they have them BOGO!?! Yes that's right they are buy one get one and cheaper than other local stores and online.

I had purchased swim trunks for my son at the duck location. While trying them on, a grommet fell…read moreout, exposing the fabric to tears. I had already removed the tags. I called the nags head location to ask if they would take them back. The manager, Jake, explained that he would have to see them. That is just fine, so I brought them to him with all the tags and the receipt then when we grab another pair to exchange them with, the Grommet on the new pair was cracked. Jake handled it like a pro and gave us the benefit of the doubt and let us return the shorts so, I ended up spending $200 more, because he was so gracious to us. Jake was a professional and I appreciate it. He does a good job. He should be commended.

Had a little Mary Poppins moment and stopped at the perfect place. The right hand side of the store…read morehas a plethora of kites for those big and small, experts and nubes. I found the perfect size that can fit right in a pocket or on a belt if you're looking to rock it Fanny pack style but I think I saw ones with wings spans taller than the average man. The Outer Banks is an awesome deal spot to indulge your inner kid or your own kid and I would highly recommend this store for the products and the personable personnel. The gentleman working the counter not only had great taste in music but he included a very informative guide to kite flying for those of us whose skills are on par with paper airplanes. I immediately gave it to my husband when I got home so he can nerd out with the kids and the kites! P.S. They have all sorts of other cool things...especially the stickers!

I was wh my Sister Mary Elizabeth and her teenage Daughter Kelly…read more It was Kelly's first time on the island and Mary's second visit and maybe 15 years since Mary was last on the island. Kelly wanted to but a tee shirt and maybe some jewelry and Mary was looking for island vibe stickers for her cooler and so ways I. It was very slow, there was one other couple in the store on this Friday afternoon. There were two staff people attend the store. I asked one of the gentleman about their products and he was able to answer my quesitons. I made my selection and as I was checking out, I noticed they took the touchless Apple Pay option. I have an Apple Card which I rarely use and decided I would give it a go. I've used it maybe two previous times with mixed results. I pulled up the card on my phone and asked if they took Apple Pay and they guy said, we take it no problem. I scanned the point of sell unit and I heard a beep and thought the transaction was going through. That was not the case, it didn't go through. The other guy who I think was the Manager/Owner came over. He said 'oh yeah' we do touchless transactions. I asked if there was a certain technique with Apple Pay. His response, was "well, that's an Apple issue, you will need to call Apple to figure that out" I was stunned, I've never been talked to like that in any customer service oriented situation. I will leave it at that but I will not be returning to Kitty Hawk Kites on Ocracoke . There are way too many other options where the Vendors appreciate your business and your patronage.

In the first 5 minutes of entering the store I saw and heard her scold her employees - in the middle of the store and loud enough for everyone to hear. Not more than 5 more minutes and got to hear a minutes long rant to another employee about another manager of a store wanting to steal her staff, blahblahblah. Keep it behind closed doors! I had my heart set on something they sold but turned right back around and decided to spend my money in a place that gave even the smallest amount of care towards their customers and their employees. Ugh.
