Klig’s Kites

UPDATE: Today (1÷6÷15), I received a refund from Klig’s Kites for my shipping charges of $ 9.00 plus $ 2.00 of my purchase price (total refund $ 11.00) — not the 50% refund I had asked for but something at least. I haven’t received a response nor an apology from the company, so my review stands as is, and I will never patronize them again. However, I did want to point out that they did at least refund the shipping fee.

Great Customer Service!
Long story short,… I ordered a butterfly kite for my girl friend, months ago, and just received it, and couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase.
Short story long,… The day after I ordered the kite, Klig immediately alerted me that it was on back order from the manufacture, and offered me the option of ordering another kite, giving me my money back, or waiting a couple months for the one I wanted. I told them I wanted to wait for it, because I only wanted that one specific kite. Two months later, they contact me, and give me the straight news, the manufacture hadn’t come through (to no fault of Klig), and they offered to give me my money back, or let me wait longer. Now, it bears repeating that Klig contacted ME, before I had to contact them. That almost never happens these days in customer service. Also, they continued to keep me updated with the status of my order, and offered me several options on how I wanted to proceed. That never happens. Anyway, I told them I was willing to wait, and then Klig told me that the manufacture was going to send me another butterfly kite free for my inconvenience, which I received. Got it. Bonus. Then one day, months later, I got the email,… «The kite is in, and it’s on it’s way to you». Sure enough, it was on my door step the next day, today. Going to fly it this weekend. Can’t wait. Thanks, Klig!!!

Great kite selection. If you are a serious kite person they have upscale kites, if you are moderate, novice, whatever you are they have a kite and price that will fit your needs. There is a guy who stands outside with the buck teeth, butt prop, squirt camera, dog on a leg, whoopi cushion, etc gags all over and he is a fun experience as is. The place is very small (like most of the shops) and the staff inside is hit or miss when it comes to help. It really is a great shop for kites and gadgets, flags, and everything else you can think of. It will make you laugh like a little kid. I would recommend going.

Nice clean shop… and I expected no less… I knew when I saw it, it would have the perfect lil’ 10 – 15 $ gadget to keep my 3 y/​o son busy as we had been on vacation at the time. They didnt let me down. (I promised him a toy if he was good at BWatB and Klig’s nailed it)

So whimsical, I love bringing my kids here to look at all of the unique kites and other baubles.

This place should be called Klig’s Junk Store instead of Klig’s Kite shop. This place has more flags and junk in it than they have kites. The staff here was not helpful at all and were not knowledgeable of the kites that they sold. I was looking for a beginner kite for my son to fly on the beach. Walking throughout the store they had a total of 25 kites with the majority in the price range of $ 90 or more.

I’ve been to a lot of places in my lifetime but when it comes to Kite stores they are few and far between, to find a really good one takes some exploring and a lot of travel. That being said this is the best kite shop I’ve been to in the past 35 years, it has been around since I was a little kid and I can fondly remember stopping by on every visit to Myrtle Beach. I would always get my Father to stop by the shop to get a new kite on every visit. I would always ooh and ah at the really nice expensive elaborate kites they have but my Dad would only let me get the cheaper ones.
Don’t let that fool you though, their cheaper kites are top of the line in most toy shops. They have such a wide range for every budget too. As an adult I am able to purchase the mid range quality now and that being said I’m still no kite flying expert. Not to worry though because the customer service here is fantastic and they are more than ready to answer any questions you might have or give you a tutorial about using your kite correctly, they can show you techniques and even help you assemble your kite.

If you’re looking to spend a lot of time on the beach then definitely stop by here and grab a kite for yourself or children, it’s so much fun and something the whole family can enjoy and participate in.

I don’t think I’m a kite person, but this is actually a pretty cool store — they have massive kites that are several hundred dollars (these are hung up from the ceiling) and smaller kites for your average person — so that you don’t waste a bunch of money when it gets screwed up at the beach.
They have expensive kite equipment, rather than just a string and they also have all kinds of other fun stuff like rubber band guns (huge selection actually) and they even have those goofy silly bands for the members of the family who aren’t old enough for the dangerous things.
There are of course mementos, such as flags and mats and whatnot that don’t do anything (like flying or shooting). But they aren’t nearly as much fun.

If you are a kite fanatic like me or just like the idea of flying a cool kite, then you want to stop by this kite store down in the Mrytle Beach area.
They have some of the coolest collection of kites, flags and windsocks.
I found some kite designs here that I only seen in books and designs that I never though I would ever see in person.
(or visit
)
I picked up a poster-​style kite of Darth Maul and a delta Panda-​in-​a-​tree kite and headed for the beach.
So stop by and get going with a kite!
