Very disappointing experience. On Saturday I ordered a Neptune Refraction/Stone Camo jacket (XL)…read moreand was told it was in stock and would ship Monday. When I called to confirm shipment, I was told the item was suddenly "recalled" and could not be fulfilled. If the item wasn't actually available, that should have been communicated upfront. I'd recommend getting written confirmation and tracking before assuming an order is shipping.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I checked into this place. I don't own a boat, but one of my friends…read moredoes. So, I shouldn't be making this review, but I'd say based on what I expect. It seems like a very secure place. There's a coded key gate that prevents people from just going in and vandalizing your boat. However, I've heard rumors about people who may have the code or who own boats vandalizing other people's boats. But that's just a rumor. The parking spaces seem reasonable because not everyone who owns a boat uses them. It's not really spacious for guests, but other than that, it seems like it's in a very peaceful location. It's also down the road from a couple of marinas where you can grab some pretty good food and beverages. So, I would say that it's suitable for what it's worth. If I owned a boat, I could see myself paying for a space here.

This review is a little different! I am a delivery driver…read moreand today I had an order from AAA fire. It had 2 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of sparkling cider. Came in and followed delivery instructions I requested and ID this "Gentlemen " Came out very bossy and ask about the delivery, I said is alcohol, Order placed by AAA I just need to scan your ID and he went crazy, ask me about who placed the order, You need to give me a receipt, by Federal law you're required. I am like Sir the person who placed the order will get a digital receipt. I just need to scan Your ID an order to hand you the bag That's all and he literally put he's ID right on my eyes and he goes here,here's my ID. I said dont be rude You're way to old to be acting this way I am just making a Delivery. I tell him if you don't want me to scan your ID I am just going to take this back that's when he calm down a little and actually let me do my job. In the mean time he had other 4 guys behind him like they were getting ready to jump me or something. This Guy is lucky tha hes at work and I am at work because the way he got right up on my face and try to intimidate me. Wouldn't hand going very well in a different circumstances. Anyway. YOU yes YOU, learn how to treat other people with respect and be a little polite when you ask questions. Dont demand things, I honestly feel bad for you and the people that comes to your business because I am sure You're rude with them too. Oh I also contacted the person who placed the order and let her know happened. He was super nice!

He solved my problem, going *way* above and beyond what he needed to do. I had managed to get my regulator stuck on the tank and he even removed it for me. Through all of this, he was never condescending (unlike a couple of other gas supply places I've been to), and nothing but helpful. I can't imagine going anywhere else now.

When I drove into the very small parking lot, I didn't see the open spot by the store wall. Three workers were in the driveway and they motioned for me to pull up into the slot. Then, when I opened the back door to my SUV, a smiling worker came over and asked if I wanted help carrying the crate with 6 extinguishers inside (very heavy). The woman who was at the desk checked them over and sorted them into 3 just needing a refill and 3 needing a closer inspection. She was friendly and efficient. I'll go back this week to pick them up.

First off, I have to admit a conflict of interest here. The family that owns Ballard Hardware are…read morefriends of ours. Two things you need to know: A) Ballard Hardware is not Home Depot or an Ace Hardware. Its a serious Hardware/supply store for folks in construction trade or the fishing industry. They have tons of specialty pipes, valves and pumps used to maintain fishing boats. If you need stainless pipe/valves, this is your place. That being said, if you are looking for power tools or fasteners or paint, don't be shy! Just go in an ask for help. They have way more stuff in the warehouse in back than you see on the sales floor. They sell quality stuff at great prices. And that brings us to prices... B) A lot of stuff on the sales floor does not have prices. Its because most of the folks who are walking in are buying on accounts. Don't let it dissuade you. Grab a sales rep and ask them to price it out for you. I needed batteries for my cordless drill, and they were way less than anyone else in town. Ballard Hardware is a great hardware store, but its a HARDware store, not a place that sells stuff to hang photos or *ahem* curtain rod brackets.

I was impressed with the quality of the work and the communication. They laid out a very reasonable work plan, and pointed out a couple of issues that they suggested I handle (more cheaply) myself (even supplying manufacturer part numbers). They hit their budget estimates, were very clear when communicating about a couple of problems that were discovered during the work, and were patient and willing to have me continually asking about the work, to learn more about my boat and about the maintenance work that was being done. I left the yard with all of the work done that I had wanted done, with a great bottom, and with the running gear spinning like a top. This is not the cheapest yard around (I did cringe when I saw the final bill!), but the quality of work, and personal attention, were top notch. I'm very happy to be caught up on my deferred maintenance and to be confident in my systems, and that peace of mind is worth it. Oh, and I'm now about a knot faster than before I went in. Highly recommended. I'll be back.
