The employees are rude I was buying a bait caster and wanted to get 30 pound braid on it. But the…read moreguy who apparently works in the fishing department and acts like the paying customer is stupid and doesn't know what their talking about And would not put 30 pound braid on because it might "break the rod" even though the rating on it is for MONO not braid and for braid you double the max mono rating making 30 pound braid useable but the employee would not do that. Also it even shows 30 pound braid as the braid line capacity on the side of the baitcasting reel. Otherwise the selection of gear is ok. The value is average. But overall even if the employees were helpful it's an ok store

I came into this surplus store hoping they were good to vets. I bought 2 simple patches a medic and…read moreanother patch. I paid the guy said he didn't give the patch to me, I searched my stuff even went through all the inventory in my med bag. The patch wasn't there, this guy is a cheat takes advantage of vets. I went to the local VA and told them all about this place. If I cant trust this place you cant, I have over 350 reviews on yelp. I lived on Fort Ord in Monterey, I lived on Camp Pendleton I lived near Moffett, I lived in Nevada my family worked on Nellis Air Force base. I have been everywhere.. My Grandfather was even working at The Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. This is the first time I was ripped off at a Surplus store. Never go to this place, I wont forget this experience or how the guy told me I lied over a $3 patch.

Baseball Players and Parents!!!!! If you need anything baseball related go see Nate at the St. Pete…read moreDick's on Tyrone. He is very knowledgeable and willing to help. My son wanted a new bat after the holidays and so we went to Dick's. As soon as we walked in and began to look at the bats on display Nate greeted us and made us feel welcomed. He listened to my son who is only 10 and treated him with the same respect as he did me. After understanding what he wanted Nate shared with us it would have to be ordered. He did everything right there with us. He ordered the bat and discussed all the warranty options and how to handle if we had any issues. I was very impressed. My son was so happy when it arrived only a couple days later. Nate was professional and knowledgeable about so much more too. We have since been to the store a couple of times since and were welcomed and greeted just the same. Thank you Nate and DSG for supporting our athletes and families in a unique way!

We love West Coast Kayaks! The staff is always so friendly and helpful and remembers us each time…read morethat we come in. We did not get our boards from West Coast but if we ever buy new boards in the future we definitely will. We bought our boards before we discovered them. They helped us find the right car rack for our paddle boards and even installed it for us for free! They are friendly and helpful and the staff truly cares about helping you find the right product for you- they don't try to push a sale on you. I am confident that they are always honest with us and I trust their judgement when they say that we need or do not need something for our boards or rack system. We also love the night paddles that they offer downtown St. Pete.

Absolutely Outstanding Service!…read more I had an exceptional experience thanks to Dave and Frank. Their knowledge of firearms, accessories, and everything related to the products in the store was truly impressive. More importantly, they were incredibly patient, kind, and approachable throughout the entire experience. As someone who doesn't have extensive knowledge about firearms, I really appreciated that neither Dave or Frank ever made me feel belittled, pressured, or uncomfortable for asking questions. They took the time to explain the differences between various makes and models, including the genuine pros and cons of each, and helped me find the best options within my budget. What stood out most was that I never felt like they were trying to sell me the most expensive or recognizable brand simply because it carried a higher price tag. They were honest about what was worth the money and what wasn't, and their recommendations felt completely based on my needs rather than making a bigger sale. They provided the kind of customer service that makes you want to come back and recommend the store to everyone you know. Their patience, honesty, professionalism, and knowledge are truly exceptional. If you're looking for people who will treat you with respect, take the time to educate you, and help you make informed decisions without pressure, Dave and Frank are absolutely the people to ask for!
