REI hosts a number of nation-wide garage sales every year. REI corporate HQ organizes all the major stores (and most of the minor ones) to host a sale on a specific day or weekend, usually a Saturday/Sunday. These nation-wide events happen 4-6 times per year.

Also Know, can you return REI garage sale items? All sales are final on REI Store Garage Sale purchases. (This does not include REI Outlet items which are covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.) If your item has a manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship, you can return it at any time. See our limited warranty.

In this way, do you have to register for REI garage sale?

Look for the REI store closest to you, check its events listing and plan to spend at least between two to three hours at the sale. Also, these sales are open to members only. While you can buy a membership at the cash register the day of, some sales require a membership card to look through the discounted items.

What is REI garage?

REI Garage offers only “new, unused end-of-season closeout and previous year” items. The news comes after an 18-month planning period in which the retail giant solicited feedback from members and online users of its REI Outlet platform. REI is promoting the launch with an extra 20 percent off through August 19th.
