I had to pay $17 and some change in and the rest on my card and the card wasn't working so I kindly asked to remove one of the two bags of soil. He was huffing and puffing the entire time and I was being polite the whole time as well. As soon as I got my receipt, I moved out of the way very quickly. Then he said sorry for the wait to the man behind me and then the man said yeah it probably should be easier- basically it's passive aggressive commentary about me so they were both gaining up on me and being extremely rude for no reason, it's really pathetic how ignorant people can be when they have no idea what kind of health condition a person might be dealing with. I could be dying with cancer, and I do have a traumatic brain injury and am starving and barely surviving single mom. If I had a bunch of items to ring up, then it would've taken much longer. It didn't even take that long, so they were just being extremely rude for no reason I'm going to call and get the gentleman's name so I can make a complaint because it's very unacceptable and wrong.

My car fob was thrown and ended up in pieces. Since I bring my fobs to Ace for batteries, I thought I would bring in the fob to see if it could be put back together. Tomas spent a good 25 mins and got that fob back to perfect shape. I was totally expecting to pay to have it fixed, but no. No charge. The Ace local stores are the best! Thanks, Adrian and Tomas

Prices are generally higher than average for hardware stores, and while service is friendly, they are severely short staffed.

Beware of Ace hardware... They don't back there products. My…read morehusband purchased a weed wacker on 8/28 unfortunately the string would fall out after he started it. We even took it to have one of the guys put in the string thinking we were doing something wrong. After taking it back home, as soon as he starts it, the strings come out. He then went to return the failed weed wacker and they would not refund us because they said there was gas in it. Really?? How else were we to test it? With no gas? Outrageous!! We are done with Ace hardware. Back to home Depot we go ...at least they back their products they sell!!

There is also an adequate staff to help customers locate the items they are seeking - welcome when you're trying to find an obscure part. I needed a box in order to ship my medium Big Green Egg and saw that they stock the Big Green Eggs. I asked if they could contact me when they receive a new medium BGE, to let me come in to pick up the custom heavy duty box that the BGE is shipped in. I gave them my phone number. Sure enough, Jim from the store called a few weeks later and had saved the shipping box from a medium BGE for me. I promptly drove over and picked it up. Wow, they had kept my phone number and followed through with a phone call! Thank you and kudos!! You won't find this level of service from a big box store. They have earned our business for hardware and other needs - will be heading back for a lid for our Lodge skillet.
