Buyer beware!! HIGHLY UNETHICAL BUSINESS. Andy & Bax does NOT honor their return policy. After this review, I'm filing a BB claim against them. I purchased 9 items plus patches for potential gear to use as costumes for an event. I was not the decision maker so I needed examples to bring back to the office. We did not need 5 of the items and I went back to return them, perfectly unused. On the receipt it clearly states items may be returned within 30 days for a complete refund. I had $150 of brand new merchandise. The manager... read more

Great Outdoor / Hardware Store – This store has a great selection and great prices on non high end but mostly perfectly workable gear. Store employees can be hard to get a hold of when busy but are always helpful and informative when accessed. Furthermore, they totally lack the, "Too cool for school or at least you", attitude commonly found in the more shee shee stores in the Portland area. Not every price is the lowest in town. When spending what to you is serious coin; do your research.They are also very cool about returns... read more

Still posers after all these years – Every once in a while, since about 1980, we go back to see if they've changed. They haven't. Don't even bother with this place - go out to Boring or Aloha if you want surplus. First, the cash register still just lists prices - twice we purchased a number of items; found a couple days later we didn't get all the items in the bags though we paid for them. Both times we took our receipt in & they acted like we were trying to rip them off - they got our money & we didn't get our items. They w... read more

Glorified sporting goods store – If you're into genuine military surplus at low prices, try Sgt. Gators at 12255 SE 282nd Ave. in Boring, OR. Andy & Bax has mostly civilian knock-offs of military issue gear at high prices. A lot of their stuff doesn't even pretend to be military; they're just plain old sporting goods. If you're clueless and want to "look cool," this is your nirvana.

Spend an hour or two browsing! – This has been one of my favorite stores for over 15 years! You will hear/read many different descriptions of what the store offers. None of them will even come close to telling the whole truth. I'll skip the obvious and let you in on some of the secrets... Maps, they have a better selection of both useful and decorative maps than anywhere but an actuall map store. Knives & Ninja weapons, plus other self defense and costume enhancements. A whole Pirate section with flags, stickers, eye patches... read more

Kinda spooky – I feel like I'm in the Deliverance movie when I go into A&B, so I search and leave ASAP. It has a weird vibe in there, like they're hiding prisoners in closets, and I might be next. They do however have good prices.

FAST and COOL – I have been using Andy & Bax for almost 20 years. They have NEVER let me down. If they don't have it they will direct me to a place where I can, but that only happened once. The guys there are helpful when you need them, the store is a little on the dark side, but for the $$ they have I'll take the dark. I can't even tell you how much they have saved me over the years in $$$. GOOD JOB A&B!

Warm and Dry for pennies on the Dollar! – I have found some of my favorite outdoor clothes and equipment here. You can find things here that are not plastered with labels and advertisment, it is focused on the function. Visit once and make it a regular stop!
