I have known about the REI company for about as long as I can remember - my father, once an avid hiker and backpacker, received their catalog and would pour over it all the time. I knew that he trusted the company and had ordered from them many times....

I never use the ship-to-store option much as I'd love to because it just takes WAY TOO LONG!!! The delays are ridiculous. I almost feel REI is trying to discourage use of that option while pretending it exists.
As for my items, one of them was on back-order, and I was not told how long it would take, so I got it from somewhere else. Read more
