I recently went on a backpacking/canoeing trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (see reviews here on epinions.com). I had always wanted to go backpacking, and this was my first adventure in doing so. As you could imagine, there were a lot of...
REI.com online is alot like the offline store: lots of great merchandise, organized well, and surrounded by helpful advice on what to choose. I read their buying guide and ordered a snowboard from them and it was a great experience. It came really well...

I have never had a bad experience at REI or with any of their equipment. Tents are easy to put up, and built to last. I have a backpack that I got in 1987 and the zipper failed. I sent it back and they replaced the zipper! I was so impressed they...

While REI's prices may be a little steep on some items, for the most part, they're fantastic. Their selection, as well, cannot be rivaled. When buying tents or other gear, you can get the whole package (tent, ground cloth, gear loft, etc) without...

REI is my favorite store. We live in a rural area and there is no REI store available for 150 miles. My shipment comes immediately, returns are easy and quickly posted to my account, quality is excellent, choices are fantastic. My husband and I have been members for multiple years and REI is so easy to navigate. I believe we have been a member since the early 70's. Great Job REI. A very satified customer who will always return. I shop for family and grandkids. Would like to have occasional free shipping. Read more
The ship to store option was great since I work downtown. I shopped at home, then after receiving the email that my merchadise was ready for pick-up, printed out the forms and picked up my stuff without a problem. Thanks Read more

I am frustrated at having to pay both shipping and sales tax on a product when the nearest store is several hours away, though in the same state.
The products are excellent, and I appreciate being able to get what I need with a minimum of fuss. Read more

i was referred to REI by a link at the site of the manufacturer of the product i was looking for -- Sigg. The overall shopping experience went very well with REI regarding the product i was looking for, the Sigg water bottle especially with how quickly i received the bottle. The only possible negative was that i was not able to purchase all of the Sigg products i wanted but that was likely due to limited supply available from the manufacturer. I didnt elect to use the ship-to-store service only because there is no REI outlet that is that close enough to me to warrant it. Read more

I picked up my order on a used gear sale day. The salespeople gladly pulled the order from the back while I was standing in line to pay. I was also pleasantly surprised to get a "long line discount" for other items I purchased at the sale. Read more
