I have used Orvis products for years I have used Orvis products for years - but no more. The quality has fallen far below acceptable. A pair of waders that leak this year and then I tried the Hydros Cold Water Intermediate and the loop at the end of the line separated on my second day out. Very poor quality. Additionally, the shipping is awful. $9.95 for a small box - a fly line. One order took 11 days and the next good 12 days. Orvis has lost it.

Take care of your customers past or… Take care of your customers past or present! I’ve tried REPEATEDLY, to get off their mailing list! I bought in 2019 through a job and left that job AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING OFF THEIR MAILING LIST EVER SINCE! I just asked them a few days ago again - after receiving a “thank you for your order” when I had not ordered - to remove me from the account it was attached to. I was assured they would! And just a few days later: “Thank you for your order!” AGAIN! Please disconnect my email to this account LIKE YOU HAVE PROMISED TO DO MORE THAN TWICE! Maybe they don’t care about my inconvenience because I didn’t give them any business - but you never know who you’re messing with. I NEVER WILL NOW shop Orvis! I will continue to avoid your merchandise; like I have done since you started ignoring my requests for my email to be removed from this Account OVER 4 YEARS AGO! … $ have the POWER NOT to go to you. I know, harder to feel, but I also have influence into choosing alternatives; which are out there and who exceed your products on many levels; AND which I have been BUYING INSTEAD OF YOUR PRODUCTS. It’s that simple. As a professional costume buyer for over 25 YEARS, my advice is Don’t ignore your customers! Annoyed ones won’t come back! And some of us spend A LOT - elsewhere!

Failed zipper on pants leg I bought a pair of pants for a safari in Tanzania, the kind with a zipper around each leg so you can make them shorts? Just a few wears in, the left leg zipper failed and became unstuck. Required constant manipulation to keep the lower half zipped to the upper half. Plastic zippers!( REI uses metal zippers) These pants cost over &100 and of course once you are out on safari there is no where to return or replace. Boo! (PS photo safari no animals injured or inconvenienced.)

Unreasonable return charges Ordered a belt and the Orvis was smaller than various other brand 40" belts I have. I reordered a 42" which was fine, but my refund deducted my original shipping cost and charged return shipping charges. A nearly $20 deduction in my refund total I received today. Given other retailer free shipping and free return policies I won't be ordering from Orvis again.

Go woke, go broke Go woke, go broke. I own thousands upon thousands in Orvis merchandise. Along came COVID. Whilst in my home, under lockdown, I began to unravel the truths that have been hidden from me for my lifetime. I took a deep dive into the rabbit hole and when I came out I discovered that we are truly living in a matrix of lies, propaganda, deceivers and subversion. Enter Orvis, a company that is onboard with a globalist agenda that includes a nullification of the social contract. Orvis is not my friend because I am on team humanity. The veil has been lifted "for those that have eyes to see"
