NEX Main Exchange

Fair selection of goods (obviously a Macy’s sublet going on in here), a uniform shop and the store is clean and well-​lit. The food court has a Panda Express. I went there on a weekday and found it quiet, not crowded and easy to shop — just the way I like it. The staff is friendly and helpful. Checkout was pretty quick too. The biggest plus is shopping with no taxes, but you should know your prices. Retail pricing is competitive with the outside and at times better outside (i.e., outlets, etc.) than at the NEX.

When visiting the Ventura area, I always make a trip to the NEX for military discounted and TAX FREE designer goods such as Apple products and Lucky Brand Clothing. It’s a great place to buy quality gifts for someone else or to treat yo’ self!

Usually have a pleasant shopping experience at the Nex until I hear the workers who are Filipino arguing and talking loud. They have just about anything all in one store at reasonable prices. They also price match, which is a plus. I love La and Debra, they always put a smile on my face when I see them. One recommendation, I know we are mere blocks from the ocean but the place can get a lil stuffy, please turn on the air conditioner.

They need to have more pandora charms in stock !!! everytime I go they dont have alot in stock

I really don’t like this nex, it never has anything I’m looking for. The ladies that work there are friendly.

Just got better! They now close one hour later it used to be 7pm now it is 8pm. Uniform shop inside NEX among other stores. Dry cleaning can be made through customer service and they also sell stamps. They have decent selections as far as variety of brand name items. I shop often at the Seabee shop. Can Do!

Located on the Port Hueneme CBC Base, this is a nice sized Navy Exchange. Probably medium size as far as NEX’s go. The do have a wide selection of everything you’d expect. The store is very clean and the staff helpful.
Men, women, children’s clothing and shoes, kitchenware, household goods, electronics, books, movies, sporting goods, travel, garden, toys, food, spirits, medicine and vitamins, yep, they cover it all.
If you have base access and Exchange privileges, stop by on your travels up or down the coast. Or maybe you’ve just been doing some Camarillo Outlet shopping down the road; this is a good stop before heading home.
Don’t forget to fill up on gas (located to the right when facing the store entrance). It’s typically cheaper than off-​base.

Staffs at the uniform shop don’t know how to smile.

Great selection, women’s perfumes as well as cosmetics, handbags & so much more is so cheap! Loving the low prices on alcohol ;)

Great stop for us along our coastal road trip. It’s always nice to stop at the local bases to fill up on gas and do some shopping in a safe environment.
We came in on Memorial Day and there were no crowds, no long lines and we had the store to ourselves.
They have everything you need if you’re planning any water sports or beach time. A great selection of local wines to choose from too. All the usual wares you would find in a NEX shoes, clothing, bikes, outdoor grills, housewares, etc. It’s not a big store but you’ll get what you need.
Kids were happy to find some Skylanders-(which by the way suddenly stop working but to fix them just:
leave the Skylander on the Portal of Power,
then hit the Alt-​Tab button,
disconnect the portal of power, then reconnect it again,
then un-​minimize game,
hit Alt-​Tab again and it should reload the character! It worked for me!) hubby got some neon running shoes and I bought a nice blouse, everyone was happy. Plus no taxes!
There was some construction in the food court area so nothing was open.
Friendly service. I look forward to coming back the next time we are in the hood.

Great spot no taxes

We purchased over $ 2k in electronics for Xmas on Dec 8. On Jan 28, we started having trouble with a DVD, 7 days after the 45 day exchange policy expired. We were told to return item to manufacture. Returning to manufacture is such a hassle, we threw it away. Never buy electronics from NEX unless you live locally. We live out of the area & any savings in sales tax is negated by travel time & gas. We’ve found that prices at the NEX are not that much of a savings over buying locally or the internet. We have made our last trip to Pt Hueneme purchase items. Maybe it’s time to do away with exchanges in large metro areas.

Great location that is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful but the check out lines are a bit long.

One of the best exchanges I’ve been to. Great selection of goods and they get stock often.

Nice staff, clean store but lines are always long. I like the store in general just don’t shop for clothes here.
Prices are high for clothes (not all of us are officers families). Some of us need $ 15 — $ 20 jeans not $ 55 and up!!! Clothes for women reming me of old ladies… (Can they find clothes that fit the E1 to E9 budget!!!)
I can go out in town and get two or three pair of Levi jeans for the price of one pair of Levi jeans at the NEX.

Very nice exchange! Huge selections. The kid was in heaven googling at all the goodies in the electronics dept. Looked very clean. Everybody there was nice to us.
