I usually love Ollie's, but unfortunately, this one trip kind of missed the mark. The store was an…read moreabsolute wreck and looked like a bomb went off inside it. On one aisle, there were so many items shoved onto the shelves that you couldn't even tell what they were, and it would have been hopeless to try and sort through them to find one that you liked. In another area of the store, there were just ripped boxes placed on top of a shelf, and again, you couldn't even tell what the merchandise was, and it looked very disorganized. In the rug and carpet section, it was perhaps the most disorganized that I've ever seen a store be, and there was even a carpet sticking out into the aisle, making it impossible to pass through. I know that you don't really go to Ollie's for an organized and aesthetically pleasing shopping experience, but this one trip was a little too excessive. Luckily, this was the first time that this has happened to me at this Ollie's, so I'm hoping that it was just a one-time thing, and I'll still be back in the future.

Better stuff than a known competitor. Will be back!

A suitable option for your gardening needs. A smaller store is nestled in the Devine Street…read morebusiness district on Woodrow Street in a quaint building that serves a dual function as a post office for people with mail slots who have their mail delivered there. The store offers a plethora of organic plants and gardening tools and resources. The work of local artisans is among the featured products sold in the store. A second primary location on Franklin Street in the Cottontown community provides a more substantial inventory and hosts community gardening workshops and events. Open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., these stores also offer an array of premier, robust live Christmas trees during the bustling holiday season. If you haven't been to these stores, they are worth a visit in support of the numerous, diverse local businesses in the vibrant gardening community in the Midlands and surrounding areas.

We attempted to purchase and have a GE Profile dishwasher installed through the Home Depot Harbison…read morelocation in Columbia, South Carolina, and the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We ordered the dishwasher, paid for delivery, professional installation, and the required installation kit. Prior to delivery, we completed all preparation exactly as outlined on Home Depot's website. This was a replacement of an existing dishwasher, not a new install. The plumbing and electrical were already in place, and there are existing 2-inch holes through the cabinet to route the water and drain lines, which is standard. After unboxing the dishwasher and bringing it into our home, the installers told my wife they could not hook it up because the lines run through another cabinet. This makes no sense given that the old dishwasher was installed the same way. Anyone with basic installation experience knows you simply tape the old lines to the new ones and pull them through. My wife even asked if they could complete everything except pulling the lines through to the sink cabinet. They said yes and then left without completing the install. I then called Home Depot customer service and, after being transferred three times, finally reached a supervisor. Unfortunately, it felt like talking to someone reading from a script with no interest in resolving the issue. Since it was clear this was going nowhere, I told them to come pick up the dishwasher. I will purchase from a company that can actually perform the installation they sell. I am capable of installing it myself, but I don't have the time, and Home Depot only allows 48 hours for returns. This entire experience was a waste of time and money. Very disappointed, and I will not be purchasing appliances or services from Home Depot again. Around $900 for Dishwasher $200 for installation now someone else will get that sale.

This was an alright Home Depot, as the store was very clean, the one associate I interacted with…read morewas nice and helpful, and I got in and out pretty quickly. However, I personally think that Home Depot, in general, lags behind Lowe's in a number of key areas, mainly customer service and especially the garden center. Now, I am admittedly not a contractor or experienced in construction, but I think Lowe's does a better job at mastering the overall customer experience.

My first ever experience in needing to buy furniture, since I needed to replace my previous couch…read moreand decided to see if there were any good deals going on for the New Year. Was greated at the door by a sales associate and was not pushy on trying to sell us anything (as I knew I only was going to get a couch). She had told us to let her know when I was ready to make a purchase and she would ring up my sale. What I liked was that the couch I eventually bought was cheaper than the sale price of where I was looking at prior to coming to Rooms To Go. The only downfall is that they do not keep inventory at the store and your purchase needs to be delivered to your home (unless they are discontinuing a particular item and if the last piece they have is the floor display - you can take home yourself). Their warehouse is in Atlanta, so picking u is not an option (it is, but for me - since I was only getting a couch and the price pre-tax / pre-delivery was under $500 - the delivery charge was $55 - $60). Not sure if the delivery charge is based in purchase price and it amount of items you are getting and / or assembly. Also, Saturday's are a busy delivery day. I made my purchase on Janyary 1st, and since I work during the day, I wouldn't be around for weekday delivery and the first available Saturday delivery was January 16th. They give you a delivery window, usually a day or two before delivery - which could be a four hour window.

There…read morewas just one Lady at the register, so I went back in the Mulch, Sand and Border area to load my stuff thinking someone would meet me there or come at some time. Well the Cart wouldn't push once loaded so I went and got the Weed Killer and explained to the Clerk the issue. She called for Outside Assistance for about ten minutes. Having to go to the Credit Union before it closed, I went back outside and got another Cart, reloaded it with my Mulch and pushed it out to my Truck to load for the third time. I'm a lot older than just about everybody that works there, and a Veteran. The clerk was nice, but i should not have to exert myself like that. Shame on you Lowes******
