Brown Bearing Co-Spokane - I am still shocked over the business practices of this company. After searching for a replacement part for a piece of equipment, I found what I needed here. This should be a good review but what he salesman told me turned this into a bad experience. He would not sell me what I needed even though he held it in his hand with a price tag showing. Incredulous, I asked why. The store requires a minimum purchase of $25.00. I could not buy the $3 item I desperately needed. I was held hostage. I'm in a store that sells merchandise, I need the merchandise but unless I buy something I don't want or need, I can't get it. So, now I have a flashlight along with my $3 part. I will do everything in power to NEVER go back. I was blackmailed, plain and simple. This is an unacceptable business practice and counter productive to growing a loyal customer base.

I've been in this business a dozen times or more. ALWAYS very helpful and never had a minimum purchase requirement. Honestly, if they ever said I needed to buy a certain amount I could easily find stuff that I could absolutely use to exceed any minimum purchase. read more

Went into the store to get a couple of much needed bearings. Clerk ask how many I needed I told him 2. He said that there was a $100 minimum purchase requirement. Could not believe what I was hearing. read more
