Prices would be ok if postage and handling were reasonable. Sized are often way off. This company made sense when there was lots of NATO products for sale.

Made my first order with them last week. Paid for overnight shipping and it's been sitting with a shipping label in the warehouse for a week. Won't cancel it because "it shipped" which is a lie because it's still sitting right in front of the warehouse guy where it's been for 6 days.
Now I know why they spam everyone to death, "word of mouth" and reputation won't sell with these guys. They have to make money on only new customers with the old bait and switch like me unfortunately.

I ordered a Bubba Fish Scale for Christmas that was on sale. I received the scale and the screen is peeling off. I contacted them and I may as well have been talking to a wall. I was told they wont exchange it and i could only get a refund. I kindly explained it would cost me an additional $35 if I were to reorder and I would prefer an exchange but she didnt care and had a attitude about it like I was the problem. Customer service is non existent at the sportsman guide and I would suggest shopping somewhere else.

I bought two Boss Buck deer feeders. I have had them a very short time. The deer ate from them fine but if they ever go empty the squirrel's will jump in the feeder and chew holes in the feeding tubes. Then you throw the feeder away. Hundred's of dollar's gone No refund or any help from the company.

They sent me a child's size jacket instead of a man's XL as ordered and payed 102.19 for.
Then, they make me pay for return shipping, etc.
They keep at least $22.20, if they even refund the rest at all.

Poor customer service.
November 9, 2023

I found this company yesterday to make an order of ammo, I will send the confirmation about my order and the pricing was $500 higher than it was supposed to be. The company fix that and gave me the price that was stated on their website. That afternoon I made a login and I signed up as a member. When I went to look at my order there was two of them both with their own cancellation button. So I cancel one of the orders and this morning I noticed both were canceled so after 45 minutes of talking to Representatives and being hung up on twice they told me that I cannot get my order because it is back ordered and all the back orders are filled. They need to work on their customer service and their site. I just canceled my subscription and asked for a refund of my membership money. I will shop somewheres out from now on.

Poor quality
November 1, 2023

10 years ago I bought a large capacity back pack for a bug out bag. I recently took it out to inspect it and ALL of the nylon straps have disintegrated, the pack is now useless. Who would have thought this could happen?, cheap Chinese garbage!

Radial IQ ozone chamber
September 18, 2023

Be careful ordering from sportsman guide, orded a ozone gear chamber-400 dollars, they sent me something completely different from what was in the picture, even sent them pictures, there customer service is worse than McDonald's service, I want ever buy from them again. Don't trust what you order from them, and they might argue and try to call you a liar. 00 stars.

I placed my first (and last!) order with SG last month. Three big issues with this order/company. 1) It took almost 2 weeks for my order to arrive, even though their website says 3-7 days. 2) One item ordered was described as "U.S. Military issue, made in USA", "Country of Origin: USA", "Condition: New, never issued". When I received my order this item had a tag on it "Made in Korea" and the buckles all had rust on them. 3) I returned this item that cost $19.99 plus tax and was refunded only $1.39 because they said I used a $20 coupon. This was on an order of $140, so why wasn't the coupon prorated across the entire order, not just the returned item. Their customer service response was totally unacceptable. Don't waste your money ordering from this company.

I've spent most of the morning trying to get help on a problem using their chat option. It's a waste of time. I've called their 800 number and the lady seemed to care unlike chat people. I'll be spending my money elsewhere. There are plenty of other options

Awesome experience!
February 17, 2023

I just made my first purchase with Sportsman's Guid and will definitely do more often. The had the gear I needed great quality and it arrived early. They also offer great prices that are hard to beat. I do not understand all of the negativity about this company, I am going to tell others to shop there for sure.

Guide Gear lifetime warranty is a JOKE!
January 17, 2023

If you buy any of that guide gear crap beware! They say lifetime warranty on it but after 2 years and it goes to crap like my boots did they will not refund you unless you have saved that original invoice. The e-mail invoice with the order number will not work with these cheating a#s h*L@s!
I will pass the word of your great customer service everywhere I can!
Here is a copy of my e-mail with Rachel that fine gal in Customer Service!...

Beware of Falsely Documented return policy
December 30, 2022

So I purchased some Merrell shoes as a gift for my father and once I received I had him try them. They ran too wide for his feet, so I elected to return them. Their site boasts free and easy shipping and returns for items over $49 (purchase came to $94). When inquiring about why i only received $75 back a snarky representative remarked that because I returned the shoes I was charged a whopping $17.94 for shipping! Why advertise free returns and you not honor your own policy. NEVER AGAIN!
