If you are looking for fast service with a big smile, then OE may not be the place to go.

I have gotten both some good and lousy deals at OE - their dry trout flies, for example, are cheap and lousy quality - I would not buy flies from them again. I would, however, buy another pair of waders there.

I once bought a fly rod at OE and it broke second time I used it. To their credit, they took it back and gave me a credit towards a higher quality rod without questions.

You want really lousy service? Try shopping in France. OE will start looking pretty good.
