The Foxhole,

15022 Union Ave SW, Lakewood, WA 98498, United States

"One of my greatest hobbies is collecting bizarre, military surplus and repurposing it for my own needs through modifications and spray paint. Today I walked into the Foxhole as I usually do, and went straight for the miscellaneous bins. I was looking for small accessory pouches for myself. I used a larger pouch to hold all of the items that I found. When I brought them to the counter, the woman who I assume is the owner of the store, scoffed and accuse me of trying to steal from her. She made a comment that it looked as though the tags had been removed from items and that I was attempting to either switch tags or hide an items actual value. She also made a comment that I was trying to hide merchandise in the larger bag I used to hold my items when she failed her remove all the items herself. I have never had an issue with his practice before and it has previously been very helpful for me to keep things organized and my hands free. I have quite a small collection of bags because of this practice, and it supports businesses I love while growing my collection. I have shopped at this store every two months for the past 8 years since I joined the military. For her to make this assumption about me when we have only had conversations at check out, was humiliating for me and in bad taste for her. I waited approximately half an hour for her to develop prices for some of the items that I found. When I found comparable prices on the shelves, she made up arguments and excuses that items were vintage or brand new or “it shouldn’t be priced like that because the previous employee doesn’t work here anymore”. The item was clearly tagged. At this point, I believe that I had spent too much time, money and effort in the past to justify continuing to use this store as my local military surplus. More than half the stuff in the store is new Chinese stuff anyway that doesn’t last to the rigors of military life. To all those in the area, I would recommend that you stay away do not turn in your gear for pennies on the dollar and do not allow shady business practices like this to continue. I would recommend using eBay for items that you know you need because at least eBay offers a full return convenient shipping, immediate payment with credit, and prices on everything listed. Good riddance to Foxhole."

"The lady here is a big big issue. I believe she have some mental health issues. Or she is a **************************************. She totally doesn't know how to talk to human. I think she is from the jungle around here"

"I wish I had read the comments before I went here, this place is a rip off. I bought an item got home and my husband said he has that kind literally i return back to the store a few hours to return it and I was told no return or exchange. When I was purchasing no one brief my before I swipe my card no return or exchange, it is also no where on the 2 receipts they gave me. I even ask can I sell it back to them she said no. I didn’t try to return in a few day later I literally return it a few hours later didn’t use it. This is ridiculous!!! Now I am stuck with this item that I bought used and lost $22. They are all humans and they must remember they need customers to keep the business going. I will let everyone know stay away from foxhole."

"I dont understand the negative reviews. This place was great. The lady and gentleman who were working today were very friendly and very helpful. I spent about an hour there and they checked in with me numerous times to ensure I am finding what I am looking for. The prices were fair and it is labeled all over the interior that NO REFUNDS only EXCHANGES, so this should not be a surprise to people. The business makes it very clear. I will go back again for more purchases in the future. Thank you."

"It was an amazing store the employees were very nice and helpful and they had every thing you need to live"
