I have a payment subscription set up through PayPal to pay for my membership. Coincidentally that lets their store complete purchases without confirmation. A set of ear protection were on sale but you could only see the member price at checkout. So I put them in, went to check out and was it was a terrible deal, I then removed the item and ordered a bunch of different products instead. I get an email the next day that 2 orders shipped, they charged me nearly $200 for the ear protection and some weird truck step I wasn't even looking at. When I looked at my paypal, I saw it was billed through the automatic payment configuration. I contacted customer service and they told me I'd have to eat the $7 return fee to send them back if I wanted my money back. The items arrived and now the site says both items are non-returnable. I'm filing a chargeback because this is just insane.

Bought a pair of Keen steel toe work boots. Wore them for 6 months. An eyelet broke (made of plastic) Called customer service. Only have a 90 day return policy. I said wouldn't think $170.00 pair of boots would last longer than 6 months? He said it's just an eyelet. So I would not recommend buying boots from here.

Rude customer service reps. Ordering I felt rushed! Ordered the last four of an item only to receive 2 because the inventory was off. No estimated delivery time, Sent a $5.00 coupon to use on my NEXT PURCHASE! Limited time to use! Called to get a card credit and again, very rude service! Would not credit the card, but would send another coupon! I said I wasn't sure if I would be shopping before the expiration. That's all they would do! I WILL NOT BE SHOPPING AGAIN HERE!

I ordered 2- 16' docks for ovr $4000. The metal framework for the docks came but no nuts/bolts fasteners or even instructions. Sportsman Guide refusd to get involved and told me to contact the manufacturer. I challenged the payment with my credit card company who reversed the payment pending my getting all the parts- I received some nuts and bolts but not all the parts but still released the payment challenge. Sportsman Guide tried to go to collection and has not fulfilled othr orders nor honored my request to cancel and rfund my membership. Beware!

I never received the item for which I was charged. I asked to be reimbursed, customer service refused, Stating the order is in transit with no delivery date. It has been a week since I ordered and still do not have a delivery date. I will not do business with this company

Ordered AR15 completed purchase and Sportsmans Guide posted that they only ship to Rural King in my area. 5 days later I checked on the order to find it had been cancelled. No longer a phone number to speak with C/S only text. Rep lied and said Sportsmans Guide notified me and that they are not set up with Rural King as an FFL shipper as they advertised and the rep offered no alternatives. Company has had lots of problems since being sold to BHG and no longer reliable.

Had problems with them over a year ago on used military surplus boots. They were unusable in the condition received, and suggested I travel a hundred miles to send them back via a depot. Arbitration was useless and they insisted on telephone conversations, which they manipulated to the point of contortion. They left messages and the cust. serv. rep, purposely talked so fast the messages were unintelligible. Yesterday I got one of their isotope laden catalogs in the mail. They are specialists of contortion and sub atomic manipulations, extracting minerals by teleportation via cyber crime activity. What a racket. Unless you are highly experienced with the contortions of cyber manipulations, run, do not walk as far away from association with them as you can get.

Same as most, ordered, they had me go through the hoops for a 1-1/2 years. FALSE advertising and greed at it's finest. I ordered ammo on 7/1/20 for $254.99. After 1-1/2 years of back order notices (a minimum of 9), and responding to keep the order, they outright cancelled my order, which is now advertising at $423.66. customer service at it's worst

They withdrew money from my bank account without permission using the account number given for purchases.It allegedly was for renewing my buyers guide membership.When I called about it their answer was paraphrasing"tough shi*.We did it for your own good"Bank fraud at its finest.

Bought their two tier tool box set. Had it for barley a month before parts started breaking and the cheap particle board started to warp. A literal piece of the lock mechanism fell out just from using the key. Drawer channels were cheaply carved and rough, making opening and closing the drawers a real fight at times. The brackets for the cover door hinges are cheap and break easily. Mind you, all of this has happened with little to no use, or movement of the tool chest. I would never recommend this product, or company, to anyone. I cannot express how absolutely disgusted I am with what I paid versus what I got.

Unethical Company!!! Do not trust this company with your outdoor needs. They agreed to sell me ammo on their site for $309 and then proceeded to delay my order for 1 1/2 years due to the price of ammo going up. Finally after delaying my oder each month they outright cancelled my order. They even admitted in my BBB complaint that the price of ammo has increased and they are not willing to sell me that specific ammo or a similar ammo at the price they agreed upon. Shady company that is doing shady business. Beware!

The same ammo story as everyone else. Had a backorder from May 2020 canceled after following all the insane steps along the way, only to be offered the proverbial middle finger and a 25$ gift card. This has definitely been the scumiest experience I have ever had as a customer. They know what the did is wrong, they just don't care. Hopefully there are grounds for a class action lawsuit.

They’ve canceled my order twice and their customer service is non existent. I’ve done everything on my end that I was suppose to do and then my money has been refunded with no communication at all. Worst experience I have ever had with a company. Will NOT be doing business with this company again.

Don't expect this company to actually ship what you order, honor their order, or really anything else an honorable company would be expected to do. I will NEVER patronize them again.

I volunteer for a veterans and first Responders nonprofit that gets them in the outdoors. I asked if they could help us out for some equipment to help small stuff they said no we don’t do that we won’t help out veterans or first responders. They lost my business

Disappointed after years of loyalty! How can you cancel Ammo orders on the books for two years and offer me a $25 gift certificate? How many times did I have to answer email saying 'yes' I still want the ammo, and willing to wait? How many other products have I purchased from your company? How much $$$$ have you made?! Not a member or fan of Sportsman's guide after this.

Horrible customer service, they never responded to several contact attempts. I gave up and purchased elsewhere. Ordered and received a coat that was the wrong size. They do not allow exchanges so when I went to just reorder they wanted $20 more money for the same order on their own mistake.

I cancelled my account with Sportsman's guide and disputed the $49.99 charge to my credit card company. Over 3 months has gone by and Sportsman's Guide has not cancelled my account and refunded the charge.

Double charged me for my 3rd out of 4 payments for their "4 pay" and then they have continued to accuse me of not paying the 4th payment. They charged me double for my 3rd payment so my entire order was paid off. Proceeded to then breach my own security by divulging in personal information to an individual that is not authorized to use my account. Stay away for your own security and potential headache due to being accused of not making a final payment when it was made during a double charge. Horrible company.
