Lackland Air Force Base Exchange

This base is huge, they have a theater on site and although it’s older movies it’s still pretty eat to have that on base. The airplane memorial was the best so far!!! So many planes and all the history behind it is just amazing. We are now at the exchange and I’m impressed. The people are so friendly in here and although it’s not a huge exchange it has everything that is needed.

I’m not happy with AAFES service at all anymore. There was a time I would come here for higher priced items such as jewelry, purses and electronics but not anymore.
Last month I bought an iPad and the very next day I saw that I could have paid $ 70 less for the same iPad at Amazon. Tax free and no shipping costs. I called the BX and they said they do not price match and I would have to bring the iPad back if I wanted to get one at a lower price.
I brought the iPad back. $ 70 is a significant savings. After waiting 20 minutes for someone to finally help me and after I’m in the process of returning it, a sales person from electronics then tells me I shouldn’t have had to bring this iPad back. Indeed, they could have price matched because now they will have to sell this iPad as an opened item, at a discount. At the very same discounted price they refused to give me.
A few days ago hubby ordered online a very nice watch for me and then saw 2 days later the watch had gone on sale. He called and asked if the price could be matched at the new significantly reduced sale price. The watch he ordered hasn’t even been shipped to our house yet. Nope. They won’t price match. Hubby now has to pay $ 60 to send the watch back and order the same exact watch again to get the sales price.
This is just backwards. Terrible customer service. I’ll look elsewhere for higher priced items in the future. Not here.

Despite the nearly 3.5 hour drive to get here it’s worth it. I always love visiting the base exchange for great deals and having a feeling of honor to shop here.
Lots of wonderful items tax free. Buy your designer bags and make-​up here and save!

As good as a BX gets! But the number that Unilocal has is the Shopette, not the BX! That number is 674‑6465! Keep in mind that almost everything the BX sells is cheaper down town where stores compete!
An example is the weekly New Release of Blu Ray movies! For some reason the BX has charged up to #37.99 for a New Release where as Walmart, Target or Best Buy will have the same Blu Ray Digital HD set for $ 19.95!!!
I have called the BX out ion this an this week Maleficent Was $ 24.95 at the BX where it was $ 19.95 at Best Buy and Walmart! A good shopper can beat the BX and Commissary due to them being non profits???

They really need a YOUNGER buyer for the ladies section. The selection and styles are so so old fashion. Yuck! Yuck! Whenever I stop by their may be one or two browsing the racks… waste of time!

Ooff. Total troopie BX. Not designed for the average permanent party person.
This place is oddly divided into two areas. The «main» is clothes + PowerZone. The «Extra» is toys, household goods and furniture. And there ain’t a lot in the PXtra. you can tell it’s mostly focused on the needs of TDY folks here for longer courses — basic pots and pans, bedding, etc.
The food court is HUGE but will be packed with troopies and family members on just about every weekend.
I hate to be down on this place as they are targeting the demographic at Lackland, but if you’re here for more than a course it’s not really worth the trip.

What’s not to like: cheaper than retail and no taxes. If they have what you need, get it!

This BX has a large food court and my niece was desperate for fast food after graduating from basic training and having to eat in a dining hall for 2 months.
It also had a Gamestop. You’d think she and her friend had been locked up for a year the way they acted in that store!
There is also a Burger King right outside (If I’m thinking of the right one), an Italian place inside (think food-​court italian), a theatre with a couple of screens, and a gift shop.
So if you are stuck on base because your new airman only has a base pass, then you might come here. It’s better than waiting 2 hours at the nearby Godfather’s pizza.

I visited the Base Exchange as my cousin only had base liberty. They have a good size food court (Arby’s, Charlie’s, Subway, Manchu Wok) They also have various stores for the recent graduates to get many supplies that they will need.

One of the biggest CONUS BX’s. Has a massive food court, and they were building an Arby’s while I was there. Just be aware that Friday is basic military training graduation and base pass, so it swells up pretty fast with new Airman and their families.

This place is where I go to buy my slightly discounted APPLE products. :P I also went an bought a huge DLP TV, washer and dryer here. They have really good warranties for this big items for the house hold and whenever I had an issue they were professional, courteous and timely.
Another great place I like hitting up is the Threading Booth by the Barber Shop/​Salon. $ 10 for eyebrows not bad considering they charge $ 12 at the local malls. Anywhere you can save a few bucks and not get taxed it alright by me. :D

I came here with high expectations and I can understand why people give high remarks for this exchange but for me it just didn’t do it. Yes, it’s big. Well bigger than the one at Ft Sam and Randolph. But for me this place was average size, crowded with clothing racks with almost no room for elbows, they didn’t carry Victoria Secret clothing/​PINK, small selection in high end brands for cosmetics, small selection for watches/​jewelry, furniture department was a joke, one section for checkout. Ugh I could keep going. Well they had toilet seat covers. Lol. Not many places do. I’m sorry I must sound like a B but I’m used to the San Diego Navy Exchange and all the exchanges here put together don’t even come close. The little miny mall was cute but I wouldnt drive 25 minutes just because it’s bigger when I live 1 mile from the dinky Exchange at Randolph.

Best shops and food on the base. My younger brother graduated from bootcamp and this place was a must see. I couldn’t get out of there without having my brother use his ID to help me purchase some under armor Air Force shorts, and hoodie and some magnets.

I love this BX! There is a BXtra and a huge main BX with everything you can imagine. If you’re female, their cosmetic and fragrance section is very competitive and offers prices that a place like Sephora cannot come close to beating. There are many other extras around including other small shops and a large food court. There is also a full service Starbucks that is sure to please.

What a great military exchange! Besides the main BX and BX plus, there are a pluthura of other shops such as GameStop, Claire Boutique, and a hair and nail salon. They also have vendors that continue to change.
The food court has Baskin Robbins, Subway, Charlies and more.
And you can’t beat the prices. So if you are active, retired, etc… check it out.

Best Deals around if your Military !!!
