Review from Kerry W.
Portland, OR
1/22/2012
REI is my favorite company, period, and I love all REI stores. Their stuff is pretty pricy, but of good quality, and the service is top notch. Returning/exchanging a pair of hiking boots after a few hikes because you don't like them? No problem and no questions asked. It's such a wonderful system built on trust: REI trusts that customers will not abuse the system, and customers trust that if things go wrong, they will get their money back or try something else. Such a refreshing business practice! I was amazed when I heard about this for the first time (I mentioned to a sales clerk offhandedly that my boots didn't fit well even after a whole summer of hiking and he told me to bring them in and exchange them for a different pair!).
This store is smaller than the one in the Pearl, but still pretty well stocked. Typical REI store (and that's a good thing). I usually hate shopping, but can happily spend hours in the store. -

I love this store.. I could spend an afternoon just shopping. The staff is by far some of the best staff you could ask for. They dont judge people, they are very knowlegable and if they dont know the answer...get this... they actually ask someone who works at the store that does know the answer...
They have a huge selection of outdoor products from camping to hiking... from shoes to tents... I purchased my Eagle Creek packing cubes from them while I was on my trip... I liked them so much that I bought another 3 pieces.
I was traveling in Utah and wanted to purchase a new tent that was on sale. The store in Utah was out of stock but this store had my tent. I paid for it while in Utah and picked up my new tent when I got to Portland. I had the store ship my old tent back home for a mear $10.00 cant beet that.Listed in: Things to do

REI is adjacent to but still separate from the Bridgeport Village shopping complex. Being separate means that REI actually has it's own street access and parking lot. This is a very welcome feature in congested and "hard to find a place to park" Bridgeport Village.
Wowsies! REI is one very beautiful and well laid out store. Bicycles, kayaks, outdoor gear, clothing, a guy repairing bicycles, and a customer service counter. If you need help then you seek out the folks wearing the vests. The employees here are very helpful and knowledgeable about their product lines.
Speaking of the product lines, REI carries it's own name brand items as well as brands like The North Face and Marmot. Prices here are competitive with any other retail store carrying outdoor clothing and equipment.
REI employees push their membership program which if you buy a lot of this type of merchandise is actually a very good deal. Whether your buying a new mountain bike, a rain jacket, or a packet of dehydrated chicken a la king, REI can meet your outdoor needs. In outdoor loving Oregon REI should go a long way. -

Road my bike here to pick up some pro gear and quick draws for rock climbing. While I was browsing one of the guys at the bike shop counter asked if the FSR outside was mine. I said yes it was. He asked if I'd bring it in. So I did. He adjusted my breaks, wheel spokes, derailers and a few other things for FREE while I was walking the rest of the store. How awesome is that?
You don't get customer service like REI provides any more. When my pack fell apart after one backpacking trip in the jungle of Hawaii. They replaced it for free. When the soles on my rock shoes wore out within 2 months, they replaced them too.
REI is a legit company, this specific store has always gone above and beyond for me so they will always get my return business. -

I waited to become a member of REI for way too long. After hiking Mt. St. Helens last year I needed a "real" set of hiking boots. My major concern was buying a set of boots that were mine from there on out; if they hurt, tough cookie. Not REI, they will take back my boots after a month of hiking, six months, what ever!
In addition to great product representation they have a load of classes, great staff, and more choices than a Roman feast!
They were so good at spoiling my girlfriend as well. I bought her some boots for Xmas and they treated her like the treasure she is! Thanks REI!1 Previous Review: Show all »

So I was back in town for a mini-vacation. First thing I do is rent a road bike and take the MAX to the zoo, then start climbing Skyline just like the old days.
I am getting pretty north on Skyline, about 7 miles from the bike store and my rear tire starts hissing loudly.
The bike store did not include their standard patch kit. I pull over and start calling them, but they aren't willing to do anything. Pretty much my only option is to call and wait for a taxi, which could take a while. Then I'm out $30, plus my day is shot.
What happens? This guy Jonathan passes going north with a friend, turns around and comes to see if I need help. He inspects the tire. He has all the tools and has the tire off in no time flat. Next thing you know he is sealing up the tube with some glue and a patch.
However, after some pumping, the tire is still leaking and not holding any air. It's okay though because Jonathan has a brand new spare tube and he's giving it to me. He installs it, pumps it up by hand, finishes with CO2 and then leaves.
I can hardly believe my luck. I mean even in Portland it is a somewhat unlikely turn of events.
So, Jonathan works in bike sales at REI Tualatin, so I thought I would give them a heads up. It was highly appreciated.
And, having owned a few mobile-tactical bags and backpacks, I have to say REI's Novarra Buzz bag is unsurpassed in form and function. I have used them on bike and motorcycle for about 6 years and they are the best.
Anyway, cheers. -

I have a REI dividend burning a hole in my pocket. And wish I could give this place a five star rating, but it just hasn't been doing it for me lately.
Grew up close to Berkeley, so I've been going to their stores my entire life. I have vivid memories of walking the aisles at that store when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Remember that feeling when the clothes racks were so much bigger than you?
I've had my own membership for over 20 years and even use their credit card. But after getting some really great gear for years, my last seven or eight trips I've left the Tualatin store empty handed. Not just empty handed -- I had a dividend in hand that I didn't feel inspired to spend. Sad, but true.
So, what's up? Do I actually have all the outdoor gear I need? That is entirely possible.
When I moved to Tualatin I had some out-of-state relatives ready to visit the next day. You mean no taxes and you have a REI store in your town!!! We all need some crazy relatives, no?
Well they can come and shop all they want. I might even fork over my dividend. :-)Listed in: Retail Therapy

They treat their members right! I got $200 hiking boots for $5 at their return sale, plus a couple of sweet pairs of sandals. Wonderful.

Review from Jocelyn E.

Shopping in Oregon is great because there's no sales tax. To save on ski equipment, we decided to do some Christmas Eve shopping while visiting family. This REI location was the closest to Beaverton, and it was conveniently "attached" to Bridgeport Village, where we were picking up other last minute gifts (It is directly across the street, sharing a parking lot with Whole Foods.).
We showed up shortly after 1 in the afternoon, desperately needing help from a ski specialist. The only guy, it appeared, working in the immediate area, was helping a couple find a jacket. I'm all about good customer service, but it shouldn't take the 30+ minutes that it did to walk in a 10 x 10 area to help a man find a heavy, waterproof jacket. Getting incredibly annoyed, I started wandering around the store near the snow sports maintenance area, searching for help. Apparently, I picked the right area to be: an associate walked by. I pointed at him: What do you know about skis? It turns out he knows everything about skis. It took him less than 10 minutes to go over the basics of skis, recommend a few good pairs of skis, and compare the skis.
Then to our dismay, we found out that the turnaround time for mounting the skis was 24 hours: we only had 2.5 hours since we had to return to Seattle that next day (and REI was not open on Christmas). The associate spoke to the very accommodating ski techs, and we were able to promise our skis by closing (4:00) that same afternoon. We wandered around Bridgeport Village for a little longer, returned back to REI, and we were out before 4 with the freshly tuned and mounted skis.
Thanks to get staff at REI for being so accommodating and making our Christmas so wonderful!Listed in: Portland

Oh REI, how I love you. But you lose a star, because your sales lady in the shoe department was too busy fawning over a hot guy to be able to sell me boots.
I normally never leave REI pissed off and empty handed. It was a one time thing I am sure. I have no doubt I will be back in a week or two. -

I love this REI store. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they have a great selection of gear, the store is large enough that it doesn't feel crowded but not too large. Sadly, I can bike to the Pearl store but I really don't like that store at all, so if I need an REI, it's Tigard.
I joined REI in Berkeley in 1974, and that was the base line REI experience for me. Huge wow factor. Tigard and Bellingham are nice stores. Just saying. -

I've been to this store twice now, and I think it's a solid 4 stars, especially compared to other REI locations I have been to elsewhere.
I went in on a weekday around lunchtime to try on some shoes. After standing around in the shoe area for 5-10 mins, the ONE woman working this department was able to tear herself away from a very demanding, chatty customer to ask me what I wanted to try on. A bit later an additional woman joined her on the floor, but until then it was a bit tricky to actually try on anything.
The shoe selection was also not as large as I've seen in other REIs.
I ended up buying a pair, and got them for $25 off using my member dividend from last year. Score!
On a previous visit, I was looking for new tubes for the bike I bought at another REI a few months back. I was also looking for a collapsible, waterproof rack bag/crate of some kind for hauling groceries and the like. The bike-dept guys were very helpful, even willing to tell me what other stores (not REI ones!) I might be able to find what I was looking for. They also let me exchange some other (wrong size) tubes I'd bought at another REI previously, even though I had already tossed the box it came in. That was true REI member-service. -

I stopped in recently to check out the knife selection. I noticed they now carry a spring assisted Gerber and at a reasonable price. They have a decent selection of Gerbers including a few multi-tools. Not a bad place to pickup a good all purpose knife.

Dropped a bundle on Northface stuff, but I scored on some gloves. Great selection of gear, smart sales folk. Seems like it would be a nice place to work. I returned a fleece liner in November that I'd had forever (but never worn). If you have a membership, it's no questions asked. very cool.

REI ... the staff is super nice, friendly and clean (lol). They are helpful and I don't feel pressured to purchase. I'm starting to sound like I LOVE every store in Oregon. Honestly, I have had great experiences. Perhaps, service in SF and Chicago is lacking in comparison.
