We will always have specially priced merchandise available through our website. Closeouts and discontinued merchandise is sold to us by manufacturers at reduced prices, and we always pass these savings on to our customers. This merchandise may change on a regular basis, but you can always be sure that we will have an extensive selection of inexpensively priced items. We take care in providing our customers with the best possible prices available.

No. We only sell new and unused merchandise on the internet. At times, we have purchased refurbished goods to sell in our retail stores, but we will not sell these goods online. We want our customers to have full confidence in us and our merchandise, and refurbished goods should be seen in-person before a buying decision is made.

Everything that we sell to our online customers is direct from our own stock of merchandise. Although some manufacturers will ship directly to consumers, we feel that this creates too many possible problems. We would be depending on someone else to take care of our customer, and we do not want to give up this responsibility. It will be quicker, more efficient, and more reliable to stock the merchandise and ship it ourselves.

Yes. We want you to contact our sales personnel for any special purchases which you may want to make. We are always adding new items to our website, but we will probably never have our entire inventory online due to the sheer volume that we have in our sporting goods stores and our merchandise changes so frequently due to its seasonality. Thus, if there is something in particular that you have in mind but do not see on our website, please contact us. We will do whatever we can to help fulfill your needs.

Returns and exchanges are accepted at any time. The merchandise must be in new condition and in the original packaging with all of its paperwork. The shipping and handling charges will be refunded only if the item is defective or shipped as a result of our error. You will receive the refund upon our receipt and inspection of the merchandise.

If you would like to make a return you can follow the link and complete the form on our returns assistant page. If you require additional assistance please contact our Customer Care Center at 800-800-5083 and we will be happy to assist.
