I used to be a big Orvis customer. No longer. For years I was a big Orvis customer. I have a closet full of Orvis jackets, shirts, pants. Their prices were higher but the quality was there, I thought. But lately Orvis has deteriorated. I ordered a pair of jeans six weeks ago. They still have not arrived. I ordered some sweatpants a month ago. Still waiting. No ability to track the shipment, and no one to talk to. I am finished with Orvis. I guess they went "woke" instead of focusing on customer service.

Even when the website is working it is… Even when the website is working it is not helpful. Many items that they have in the store are not listed on the website.

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.)

I bought an Orvis Helo rod last year… I bought an Orvis Helo rod last year and the tip broke in the first 10 minutes of fishing. Now they advertise the new rod is 4x stronger. How about standing behind your product. Obviously a known issue the last rod sucked and I was stuck buying a replacement piece before I caught my first fish. I would go sage anytime now going forward.

In my opinion.. In my opinion... the absolute worst and most overrated company on the planet in regard to their fishing products. Orvis is truly clinging to their old identity when they were the only player in town. This is the go to for clueless old men who had no other options, wanted to show off for their old friends and online shopping wasn't available. If you need anything fishing related, buy Simms, G Loomis, Scott, and Hardy.
