Dick’s Sporting Goods

This is the only Dick’s by me that sells ammo, the Yonkers location doesn’t, so I have to take the trek up to White Plains when I need to purchase some. I like that they validate some portion of the parking price, but not all, which is a bummer.

Came here with my mother on Dec. 18^th at 3:30pm to buy my father’s Christmas present. We went to the Golf section because my father wanted a shirt from there. There was a sweater my mother was looking at but they didn’t have the size. So she went to ask the guy working in the section. She was asking if they had others sizes and before she could finish talking he just said «No, what is out there is it». Instead of getting his butt from behind the counter and showing her other suggestions. Bad customer service Dick’s.

Honestly I can’t believe this place gets more negative reviews. Dick’s seems to be the exception to most big box sporting goods store. Though staffed less than most sporting goods retailers, it’s never hard to find any help in any department. The employees also seem to be very knowledgable about the subject matter of their department as well as the processes of the store (an important difference). So far every time I’ve gone they always knew where everything was and when they didn’t have it in stock offered to look at where else they might have it. The hunting department people especially seem to have their head on straight, and I was surprised at their in depth knowledge of the subject. They do seem to not stock as much as the other Dick’s locations like the Long Island stores.
If I had to pick something to gripe about it would have to be the parking, but they certainly have no control over that. There’s a whole foods below them with a $ 5 purchase parking validation so it’s not a big deal and makes this Dicks a great stop when doing groceries.

Went to buy a firearm from this location several months ago. I was unable to purchase because the address that I had just moved to did not match my Driver’s license. I just went into a Dick’s today at another location (Rockland County) to find out that I have been put on a blacklist and can not purchase any firearms from any Dick’s locations. The jerk at the gun counter decided that I was unfit to purchase a firearm and suspected of a straw purchase. What a joke! The ATF seems to disagree, so I will be supporting my LGS from now on rather than Dick’s.
Furthermore, Dick’s has it’s own registration system. Every gun you buy at Dick’s is recorded down to the model and stored in their database for who know’s how long. They fail to disclose this information to you when you purchase a gun there. This is shady business practice and does nothing but cause headaches. Sadly, they have good prices, but if you value your privacy you should buy from a private seller or your local gun store.
