Worst purchase experience ever!!!! It’s been a month since I’ve made a purchase and I haven’t received my order!!! I’ve contacted them 4 times an I didn’t get an answer!!!! I’ve never experienced a case like this in my life!!!! Emails to a company’s order department and no reply!!!! I disputed it through PayPal!!!!

Just bought a knife today here, great selection. Staff were very friendly. One of them dealt with me for around 40 minutes while I was looking through and trying all the knives. They also had a great selection of flashlights, although I didnt buy one as I already have a ton. Overall, I strongly recommend this place.

Initially had some issues regarding an order.Had made some inquiries without receiving a reply and I was starting to worry.I then received a reply from Mr. Gazaway apologizing for the lack of communication and explaining that he was working on resolving the issue.It took a little bit to get things straightened out but I cannot express the gratitude for all the hard work that this gentleman did in assisting me with the order to keeping me updated.

Really cool store with a huge selection of flashlights. Was able to get to find a med kit and surefire batteries recently. Staff was super friendly. You could empty your bank account here, however.

The Best store for guys in ATL area! Every thing you could want for flashlights, knives, and everything you dont know you need. Élise is the guy to talk to if your not sure of what you want...he will lead you to products I didnt know were availible. You can spend $20 or sky is the limit. Christmas is coming soon. Moms and girlfriends, better halves, hit this store for a gift that will shine☀️💯🎁

Going Gear is always our first thought when we need something new for a camping trip, hiking gear, sunglasses, etc. Today, my son and I visited to replace some sunglasses that were lost in a body surfing incident over fall break. While we always have a great experience here with the friendly staff, today was a particularly good experience. I would highly recommend stopping in here.

I am amazed at the quality of customer service these guys provide. Every staff was helpful and welcoming. They don’t pressure you into buying anything.They answered any questions I had (and I had a lot of them so much that it could annoy a person) and their attitude did not change. Simply put, I am a customer for life. Thank you Mason and all the other staff at Going Gear for your patience and your customer service. You guys are the best

I bought a light online at the end of September, got it in October, had problems with it for a couple weeks and sent it back early November. Its now nearly the end of December and I havent been able to get them to email or call me despite OVER A DOZEN attempts to contact them in various ways. They now have my defective light AND my money.Marshall would not be proud. If you live out of state, buyer beware. STILL attempting to get reimbursed.

I love their YouTube videos and the shipping of one of my three items was very quick. Product was great.The problem came in with the last two items I ordered the same day as the first. The order was placed 12/3/19. I put in an email to ask the status of the last two items and they massaged back. There were a couple messages back and forth (with out my original question being answered) and their final message was on 12/5. I’ve emailed them several times since that date with silence on their end. I called their store multiple times over several days without an answer.Their customer service is terrible so I will likely not order from them again. I’m still waiting on my last two items, and I have no idea what’s going on with them.

I recently ordered a backpack from GG that was impossible to find. The Osprey Manta AG 36L was replaced by a smaller 34L in 2019 and I could not find the larger pack anywhere. Turns out GG had it. I ordered a med/large and they initially sent me the small/med size. So I called and they immediately sent me a return label and mailed the correct size to me. Great customer service and (from the website) it seems they have some great products too. If I ever find myself in Smyrna, GA I will definitely stop in.

Generally great overall experience the employees were courteous nice and easy to get along with while answering all of my questions and even elaborating on some unforeseen choices because Im new to this Hobby. I could see myself spending massive amounts of money on things that I could convince myself that I need this place all the while being extremely happy about the choice that I would make because they are really good at what they do in the survival / hiking / EDC / prepping community. again great business just trying to get the 200 characters for the extra five points now

Wow. Its been a few months since Ive purchased anything from Going Gear and I have to say I forgot how great they are. I placed an online order three days ago and got free shipping. The item arrived this afternoon! Ive never had such great shipping that didnt cost me a dime. Keep being great Going Gear!

I ordered a Spyderco Chapparal with the Raffir Noble scales through Going Gear’s online store. I told the guy working there that I wanted to pick up in store because the scales on that knife are different for every piece, so I wanted to see one in person before buying it. Without telling me, he ordered 2 so I could have my pick between the 2. Awesome customer service. I’ll definitely be buying every knife I can from Going Gear from now on.

Everyone in the store is wonderfully kind, and extremely knowledgeable. At checkout, I was given two morale patches, and two Rite in the Rain notebooks. The olight S15 I purchased there is a fantastic product, and functions well. Additionally, they have a 10% military discount, which helped me considerably. The selection is ample and well priced as well. Give Going Gear your business!

Review №54

Drove 5.5 hours to check out their stock. Like a mini REI full of goodies. Most, if not all of their website items are actually in stock at the store. The best part is you can touch everything to test it out before buying. They have a flashlight WALL full of every flashlight they carry online. Survival gear, knives for every budget, storage gear, etc. etc. Normally wouldnt be going to Atlanta on purpose, but this place was worth the drive.

I found out about this place online and was drawn to them because the we offering a little bit better price on a tk-75 flashlight that I had my eye on. Well I went for it because well who doesnt like to same money. When I mad my purchase and about 2 days later got a call saying they dont have that one new so I was offered a use floor model at a discount. So I said yes. Well I got the light and was soon to realize that it was the incorrect one. Well I was told that they would have to order it or I could get a refund so I opp. to wait for the new one. Well frustrating to say that they where unable to fill my order. Through out the 2 months and 1/2 of me having to call and call to see whats going on I am left with nothing. There comunication is the worst I have had till this date. Will never do any kind of business with them again. I would give zero stars if that was an option.

Found out about Going Gear from watching Sootch on YouTube. It was about a 3 hour drive for us. What a great place! They had a whole wall of quality flashlights that you could try. Another wall of quality backpacks, bags and pouches from manufacturers like Maxpedition and 5.11 Tactical. Lots of outdoor and survival equipment and a large selection of knives. Daniel, who helped us, was friendly and very knowledgeable. It couldnt have been a better experience. Unless we would have got to meet Sootch! Lol! It was well worth the drive and we will return.

Terrible customer service. Been in there once a week for past 2 months. Today all the employees left me in the front of the store for 20 minutes. I went to the back and politely said excuse me to get someones attention and one guy made an uuuuhhhh noise. I turned around and walked out. Never going back. I was planning on making a $300+ knife purchase today.
