“Be careful when you buy online in this store they offer some supplies, articles or furniture at very good price and when you already bought it, they send you a message telling you that your order was cancelled”

“DO NOT BUY BIG TICKET ITEMS FROM ACE! I bought a generator online and ended up wanting to return it unopened. Customer service said to bring it into a store. Brought it in and the store said they can’t take it and that it needs to go back to the manufacturer. I contacted Champion who was great. Shipped it to them no charge. They received it and told ACE to release the refund. That was 2 weeks ago. ACE just gives me the run around every time I call. They “escalate” it and give me a new case number every time I call. They said I have to wait 24-72 hours. So I have been calling every 72 hours. When I asked to speak to a manager they said one will call me back. Still haven’t heard anything about a refund. So now I’m out $700 and have no generator. Terrible system.”

“I have a broken wrist and wanted to incorporate the same equipment as my OT has during my therapy sessions. I went to Rick’s Ace hardware on the Hill in St Louis, MO and John made me exactly want I needed by cutting and drilling a dowel rod. It was phenomenal service. He was so caring! Every employee at that store should get a gold star… John should get 2 gold stars!! Thank you Ace hardware. I am getting better very quickly ! Carolyn Odom”

“Went in to buy a lawn mower and they had no one who knew anything about the product. Told them what I wanted and it needed to be have rear wheel drive. They ordered me a Toro lawn mower and when I went to get it I took it home put the oil in it and gas, started it and then I realized it had no rear wheel drive, was just a push mower. Took it back and they said it was my fault it was a push mower and they wouldn’t take it back because I had ran it and it was against the law for them to take it back. The person who ordered it had quit and the manager was a complete jerk. Told me to leave because it was my fault that it was wrong. He didn’t even try to resolve or compromise the problem , just told me to get lost. I and my family and friends will never ever do business with Ace again!!! They suck.”

“Missed TWO consecutive delivery dates because they are so unorganized and unprofessional. I will no longer be shopping here. Which by the emptiness of the Linden and Bellingham stores, it seems I'm not the only one making that decision......”

“I frequent a couple of Ace Hardware stores in my area. This comment is about the wonderful customer service experience I encountered today at MacKay’s Ace Hardware store in Westford. On April 25th I purchased Step 1 of Scott’s 4 step fertilizer for $99. Then today, my wife suggested that I go back and purchase the other three steps because the four steps were on sale for $229.99. I explained my situation to two very helpful staff members and was quite surprised and pleased when my previous purchase of a Step 1 bag was treated as a return. I received a credit for the earlier purchase and then proceeded to purchase the complete 4 step program, a purchase I do not routinely make at the sale price of $229.00. THANK YOU TO THE TWO SALES REPS WHO TOOK MY ORDER TODAY AND SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY IN THE PROCESS!”

“ACE Hardware, Blacksburg VA I've consistently had a disappointing experience at this store, especially when trying to use coupons. Each time, the staff seems reluctant and dismissive—even before attempting to scan the coupon, they often say it likely won’t work. It feels like they go out of their way to avoid honoring them. The attitude shift is noticeable, and it almost feels like using a coupon puts me at odds with the employees. They become unhelpful, and I’ve even had situations where they wouldn’t assist with carrying heavier items—something they would normally do. I’m not sure if this is a family-owned store or not, but either way, the customer service has been consistently unwelcoming. I never leave feeling good about my visit, and that’s unfortunate. The atmosphere is inhospitable, and it really deters me from returning.”

“I visited an Ace Hardwear store and was so disappointed at the prices. I haven't been there a while. Ace once was the all American hardware where we could find almost anything. Now Ace is higher than the big box stores. That was my last trip there. The staff are not friendly has no personality. I didn't purchaseanything. I rather go someplace else and at least get a smile if nothing else. But they never have to worry about me visiting again and I know one person don't matter, but I hope in end everyone stop shopping there.”

“I was looking for the perfect color paint and employee named Caycee at Ace on Hulen in ft worth helped me beyond what anyone else would do. Now I'm so happy and can't wait to start my project today. Caycee number 1 ace employee in my eyes. I definitely will be back.”

“The Cost of Overlooking Real Workers – Ace Burlington, WI During my time as a cashier, I was more than just someone who rang up transactions—I built relationships with customers, made them feel valued, and went beyond my job description daily. Whether it was helping a struggling customer, looking out for the remodel crew, or creating a welcoming atmosphere that brought people back, I made an impact. And yet, management chose to dismiss that value. I was denied basic breaks due to staffing shortages while others received preferential treatment. I witnessed a culture that encouraged complacency and protected incompetence while disregarding those who actually did the work. When I advocated for myself, I was met with condescension rather than appreciation. Now, with two locations severely understaffed, I’m curious—who will step up? Who will bring the heart and dedication that I, and others like me, brought every single day? I am a Military Veteran, honored with an Army Achievement Medal, a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and a NATO Medal. I am a graduate of Alverno College, multilingual, and have years of customer service and teaching experience. I am also someone who genuinely cares about people and the community. But despite all that, Ace Burlington would rather overlook real value to focus on people who do not contribute where it matters most—inside the stores, connecting with the communities that keep Ace alive. Ace prides itself on being "The Helpful Place," but when management fails to respect and retain its best employees, what kind of help is actually being provided? I hope corporate starts paying closer attention before more dedicated, hardworking employees walk out the door—taking the true magic of the store with them. Sincerely, Milanka Sulejic”

“Young man that helped get the right 1/2 inch DeWalt steel cutting carbide bit was great. This is Ace Corporate. Please have better lighting in your aisles. You can't read the item labels. Need to bring my flash light next time. Might sell more products if you fix your lighting.”
