REI follows suit....caves

[icetrauma]

Never shopped there and never will. Let them go down the same rabbit hole as all the others.

I regularly shop REI. The staff is very knowledgeable. Unlike Academy and D###S they sell quality equipment and they stand behind it. I just had something delivered today. There are not many options here in town that have the selection and expertise like REI.

I've heard the same thing about knowledgeable employees at the SA REI from a buddy who shops there often.

I went to the one in Plano one time. Surfer dude stoner kept on bothering me (he worked there) as I was looking for something specific and didn't need help. Haven't been back. I assume it's still open.

Who cares. Don't buy anything from them.

Kinda a good move " but I don't like black guns as I see them as a poor man status symbol"
Most people that have them are ' big hat guys "

My method works much better than a boycott. I can ride my bike over there after work. Try on the gear I'm interested in and waste as much of they're time and resources I want by buying the product's online. No tax is just another bonus. It even makes it better to see someone come in interested in buying something walk away cause I have the staff busy catering to me and stuff strewn all over the place.

LoL
Funniest thing I've read in a week.

I bought a scope rail for my slug gun but the screws it came with are too big and the ones that were originally on the gun won't work because the heads aren't beveled correctly

Not from REI.

All I use REI for is the bargain cave online and their garage sales in the store. Their warranty is awesome
As dumb as that is it's a hippie store and doesn't surprise me

Not from REI.

LoL heck no
Some $5 chinaman do dad off Amazon/EBay

I've been inside REI in California and it was too granola-y for me.
I liked Big 5

On the east coast I never shopped in d!cks because it reminded me of Modells
I just never shop in those places
Bass Pro, Cabelas and Academy gets my business
Or in the northeast I'd go INSIDE city sports and buy from them.

The link is broke. What did REI do?

Btw, what do you get out of cancelling a lifetime membership you already paid for?

So that REI has trackable data to show how much this stance has cost them.
When thousands of people suddenly cancel their membership after you have made a strong announcement....its a good chance you will never see that person at the cash register again.

They usually get my business on camping knick knacks.....I can get them elsewhere now.

See if this works.

Companies under Vista Outdoors include Giro, Bell, Camelbak, Camp Chef and Blackburn. Vista also owns Savage Arms, which manufactures guns, including modern sporting rifles.

“We believe that it is the job of companies that manufacture and sell guns and ammunition to work towards common sense solutions that prevent the type of violence that happened in Florida last month. In the last few days, we’ve seen such action from companies like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart and we applaud their leadership,” REI said in statement.

“This morning we learned that Vista does not plan to make a public statement that outlines a clear plan of action. As a result, we have decided to place a hold on future orders of products that Vista sells through REI while we assess how Vista proceeds. Companies are showing they can contribute if they are willing to lead. We encourage Vista to do just that.”

REI members also have been calling for a boycott of Vista Outdoor brands.

When Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op, MEC, dropped Vista Outdoors, Camelbak released a statement, pressing that the purchase of its products doesn’t support shooting sports.

“That is not the case,” the company wrote. “Our brand falls within the Outdoor Products segment of our company, which operates separately from Vista Outdoor’s Shooting Sports segment. Since 1989, CamelBak has been committed to forever changing the way people hydrate and perform. Our passion and love for the outdoors is unchanged. We are deeply committed to the individuals and communities we serve and we proudly partner with organizations to promote the enjoyment of the outdoors.”
