I have tried to give Ace hardware a chance time and time again. But Dec 13th 2024 will be my last visit. I have gone there looking for items in the past,either the price is a joke or they simple don't have the item. Today I went to return a small item,and pick up something else. And was informed I couldn't return it without a receit or an member number even though I had the card I bought it with.returning hardware items is a common thing and should made as easy as possible. I informed the clerk they could keep the item I was going to buy and left with my return. Again this will be my last visit.
This place is a complete joke. I ordered a grill online. Select Saturday delivery and they call me and say the grill they have for me is broken and they need to credit me and then charge me for a different grill and that they don't deliver on Saturdays. I asked for morning delivery and they say okay and then in the morning they don't show up and I call and they try to tell me they won't be there till the afternoon. Then I asked to speak to someone else and they hung up on me five times. Now I have over $1,000 of charges on my credit card with no grill and no credits. Thanks, Ace hardware?!
This morning I found that I have a Craftsmen 1/4 socket wrench that is seized and will no longer hold a socket securely. I went to the Craftsman website which directed me to Ace Hardware for a warranty replacement. I went to my local Ace Hardware in Xenia Ohio and asked if they do warranty replacements. They confirmed that they do, and took me to the tool section. The associate found they do not have it in stock and stared at me until I left. There was no offer to order the replacement or even checking inventory at other stores that were close by. I went to the nearest competitor, and they replaced it in minutes with minimal effort and kind words. Ace in Xenia has been steadily declining and I only return there when i feel that what i need should be extremely simple. After 3 attempts at different services such as key duplication that failed, flashlight purchase that was bad out of the box, items confirmed to be in stock (2 associates could not find) and now a rude brush off on the warranty issue, I have learned my lesson to drive on passed the ACE hardware stores.
Landon, the Kansas delivery driver, is overly flirtatious & sexual. Do not trust him! Had sex with several women in his Ace delivery truck & didn't think anyone saw & just didn't care if they did. Regularly showed up so different women could ride with him.
I took an Ego chainsaw to them for repairs under warranty and they screwed it up. It took several weeks to get it back and when I went to use it there were 5-6 screwed left inside just loose. I got a very rude manager that basically told me to blank off.Ego showed no concern and said that happens lol. This was a store in Lee's Summit,Mo. Since then I would be hesitant about buying anything from there
Trump has been convicted of lying and falsifying documents to conceal his porn star affair and election fraud in 2016. 61 court cases said he did not win the 2020 election so he tried to overthrow the election by various schemes including attacking the capital. However, the Ace Hardware in Rockport has decided to sell this traitors merchandise! I guess they were out of Nazi and Putin's products. I hope all real Americans will boycott this store.
I purchased a Oregon chain saw chain. The price online for pickup and on the shelf in the store was $22.69. When i got to the register it was $26.99. When i asked the clerk she said she could not give me the advertised price. Bait-n-switch scam. I won't purchase anything from Ace again. They deleted this review from their site. (go figure).

"After ordering a mixed package of products at first it seemed all ok and prompt shipment was confirmed. Then a sad saga took place full of lies and misleading information. I received a confirmation that the package has been delivered to my address on certain day. It was double confirmed. BUT: the day in question was even a Sunday where at least in Switzerland no postal or carrier service is operating. The best proof of a full scale lie. I never received the shipment nor a refund. After several intervention they wanted offer 10% discount for a parcel never made. Today I am convinced that the shipment was never made and this money making on scamming customers can be regarded as professional. Amazon should remove this company from their list it damages the trust in them as well severely.
Faith at the Spokane Valley store is amazing. I called all over town looking for quart of Drylok. She had one left. When I got to the store, she took care of tinting to the color I needed. Very pleasant and good conversation. She mentioned she had worked for the owners for over five years and planned on staying a long time because they take great care of the associates. Tough to find that kind of service these days. Keep her around, she's a good one.
Never under any circumstances purchase anything from this corporation's website. I bought a Toro Mower a week ago (order #*********) and, according to the information on their website, it was supposed to arrive at the local store on Friday. When I called the local store, they said they had no information and the truck with equipment sent from the warehouse was expected on Saturday. On Saturday, my order was not in the truck, and the local store said they knew nothing and couldn't help me. I called website customer service and was surprised to learn that they hadn't even attempted to ship my order and didn't know why this was happening. After my request to connect me with a supervisor, I waited 15 minutes only to find out that there are no supervisors on Saturdays. I have never in my life encountered a more inadequate and unreliable interface than this company's. The site doesn't load, there are endless errors, and it took 30-40 minutes just to place any order. Customer support has no idea about orders and can't even provide current information, let alone address more serious issues. The existing model of relationships with independent stores is obviously unsustainable, and I wouldn't be surprised if they go bankrupt. At the very least, the huge number of people complaining about their work even here will be spared from problems with a corporation that doesn't value its customers.
Answer: I purchased a quite expensive electric yard tool from ACE, got it home and it would not even assemble properly. That was a problem with the manufacturer, which is Black & Decker, not the hardware store. I try to avoid Black & Decker because of similar problems with their products in the past; the reason I bought this tools was because my wife wanted to use it and has not had any problems with Black & Decker products so I got it home thinking to make my wife happy with the tool. The tool is a string trimmer and it was not possible to install the guard at the bottom of the shaft. Perhaps a hammer would have helped but I don't like having to hammer a brand new tool together to make it work. Ace promptly refunded my money on that one. Another time I purchased an Ego yard tool and got it home and decided it was not what I need so I took it back and my money was right away refunded.
Answer: I am just a customer. I have never bought any gift cards and so have no idea why Ace is not responding properly.
Answer: There may be, I buy things from various sources depending on where I am and so on. In bigger cities there are most likely more competitors than here in this relatively small city. Nonetheless, here, ACE is excellent as far as I am concerned.
