Academy Sports Reviews

Academy.com is a sporting goods store that offers a wide variety of products including sporting goods, hunting, fishing, and camping equipment. They have a Price Match Guarantee where they promise to beat any competitor's price by 5% for identical, in-stock items. This policy applies to both in-store and online purchases. The competitor's advertised price must be current and valid at the time of purchase. If you find a lower price on an identical, in-stock merchandise item advertised in print by any local retailer or by select online retailers, you can show them the valid ad and they will beat it by 5%. They also match Academy.com pricing for in-store purchases and in-store pricing for Academy.com and Academy mobile application purchases. You must present a verifiable copy of the advertised price, either by presenting the entire printed ad or a digital version on a mobile device if in store, or if purchasing on Academy.com or an Academy mobile app, you may present by email or mail. If the item is not in stock, the price match guarantee does not apply.
