“Placed order billed and shipped within 48 hours Package arrived short one item Called customer support with request for replacement Now 8 days have passed with no product Not even a confirmation that item has shipped Avoid the hassle go to the store and buy if they don’t have it find it somewhere else Terrible customer service”

“I purchased a Craftsman Corded Electric String Trimmer on 10/28. When I left the store I asked what the return policy was. I was told 60 days by one employee and 90 days by another. I just called the store (Rocky’s in Port St Lucie, FL) and was told that I could return the item, but only for a store credit, not a refund. They told me that since I took the item out of the box and connected it to an electrical source just to try it out to see how I liked it and if it worked properly it is not new anymore and cannot be sold. Frankly, that is a bunch of hogwash. I did not use it to trim or weed whack my property. I only turned it on to check it to make sure it was working properly. That’s it, and now I am told I cannot get a refund if I bring it back and I will only receive a store credit. You know, if I bought this thing at Home Depot or Lowe’s I would not be getting horsed around with this and I would get a refund, no big deal. If this is how Ace Hardware operates, I will no longer buy anything from Ace Hardware and I will be sure to inform those I know of Ace Hardware’s return policy. I am very disappointed in Ace Hardware.”

“I bought a Dewalt weed wackier and string for it. They did not have dealt string so they gave me an “Ace brand” string. Once I run out of the Dewalt string, the Ace string did not fit. They refused to exchange or give me a credit for their own brand product. On top of it, the clerk had a nasty attitude as if it belonged to another store or its not their brand.”

“I had a real need to find the right size of "O" Ring for a water filter system. I checked with Ace Hardware to see if they could help and the young fellow checked ever so carefully to make sure to fit the size that I needed. I was impressed with the efficiency and more than happy that the "O" Ring did the job!”

“Went into the store at Fairview Ave Boise around 4pm today. As I walked in an employee approached me in a manner that left me feeling unappreciated, even suspected. Told him I was there to pass the time while my wife shopped elsewhere. He didn’t seem happy about that. Bought a few things, went to where the staff were congregating, (store was practically empty) and he brusquely led me to the checkout. Won’t be back for quite a while.”

“I was hesitant to go into Ace Hardware in Oceanside because I needed help with something and last year I encountered an employee who was very condescending and dismissive. Well, to my surprise I encountered two employees in Hardware that couldn’t do enough for me. Pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful. They were a pleasure to deal with and solved my problem. Two Star employees. Certainly my heroes of the day! Ace should be proud!”

“I just got done driving 3 towns over to buy a Dewalt DWS715 Saw that your website said was instore. Nope! This happens nearly every time I use your website. I have complained to store management but nothing has changed. The big bow websites are 100% accurate in my experience while yours is almost $100 % wrong. Fix it or lose me as a customer.”

“I was told that the cashier's name is Karen. She was very rude, and she had a nerve to stare me down as I walked out of the Great Lakes Ace store at 6248 Allisonville Rd, Indianapolis, IN. Their customer service at one time was great. WOW! What happened?]”

“Ace hardware does not give any discounts for military service or seniors. Took my 95 year old father there who served in the navy during the Korean War. It's a darn shame Ace hardware and thier high profits does not recognize these citizens. Please support businesses that support their community's”

“My home office needed to be painted because the old color was too glossy to act as a background for Zoom meetings. The woman who helped me was very kind and fun, but she did not explain sheens of paint well at all. She immediately told me to get eggshell, saying it would be different and better. Well, the room is painted, and it is certainly not better. It is same. I called the store to ask what could be done, but they simply told me to spend another $80 on a gallon of paint and paint over it. I was frustrated and said I purchased it at the specific suggestion of a staff member. They did not care. The staff apparently needs to listen so they know what a customer is asking for--and then to advise customers accordingly so the people doesn't suffer an expensive loss. There was no concern or help given to correct the staff member's mistake.”

“I went to buy a blade for my electric lawn mower which was available at the Greentree store in Pittsburgh, their web page stated they had 5 left for my specific model. Once in the store, no one of the employees said hello nor "how may I help you". I decided to walk around to find the blade. When I could not find it, I decided to ask the cashier who did not greet me, did not talk to me and instead, he pointed to the isle where the blades were. Yet, I could not find them. I went back to the cashier, and at this point a person called Sharon, asked me what I needed. I said I needed a blade. She started walking to the same isle I was directed before by the previous cashier, she did not say follow me, or I can show you where they are, anything. Once we arrived to the blades, I told her what was the model of the blade, she sighed in a very rude way. I asked to leave, that I didn't need somebody unwilling to help. She stated they were very busy and had a lot of things to do. That is not my problem, the customer deserves respect and attention.”
