I'm an avoid-the-big-boxes/shop-local guy. I've lived in Palo Cedro for almost 25 years, and I've spent an ungodly amount of money in this store. I've been in three times this week alone. It occurs to me earlier this week that my garage is looking darker than the inside of a basalt lava tube cave. The garage is lighted by four 48-inch duel-tube fluorescent fixtures, and they're past due for new tubes. So I buy eight tubes at True Value and install them. I get all the tubes replaced, and of the fixtures doesn't work at all. I confirm that it's got juice, so I need to replace that fixture. In another fixture, one tube lights up when I throw the switch, but the other flickers for a second and goes dark. I switch the new tubes to make sure it's not one bad side of the fixture. Nope. One good tube and one dud tube. Here's where True Value fucked up. I walk in this morning with the bad tube, intending to exchange it and to buy a new 48-inch fixture. I tell the guy at the front counter that I got a bad tube and need to exchange it. He looks at it from 10 feet away and says: "That's a really old lamp that's just used up." I'm like, "I bought it yesterday and used it for about one second." (Seriously, this penis with limbs is accusing me of trying to return an old burnt-out tube.) He asks, "You bought it as a single?" (They don't sell singles, so I guess he's looking for a "gotcha!" victory, or some bullshit.) "No," I say. "The other tube is fine and is still in the fixture, lighting my garage." "Well, I can't exchange one tube. You need to bring the other back, too." Why? So you can restock them? They come in pairs, shrink-wrapped in cardboard and plastic at the factory. Fuck you, asshole. I drove straight to Home Depot and bought the bulb and the new fixture, and probably saved about $25. I'm not promising that I'll never shop at PC True Value again, but if I do, it won't be because of my "shop local" ethos. Asshole True Value dude lit that up and pissed it out. read more

It seem this location prefers only republican customers. I guess Home Depot and Lowe's it is. After seeing this sign outside the hardware store I had to respond. And who's crying? TRUMP! And all of his enablers. The election hasn't even been called and yet the crying has been going on for two days now from camp Trump. You may still get your way toddlers. It isn't enough that he's divided our country and made a joke of our democracy, but he's dragging the rest of us down by pitting us against one another. Can't even feel welcome at the neighborhood hardware store. In true Trumpian verbiage-SAD! read more

Palo Cedro True Value - Hardware Stores Near Me - Palo Cedro, California

No one is wearing a mask. I saw their Trump "Make Liberals Cry Again" flag flying there the other day. I guess they only want conservative shoppers there. They may be surprised by how many people won't be going there again - myself included. I don't see the reason to divide the way this store has done. I liked doing business here since it was close to home and because of that didn't mind paying the higher prices. Off to Home Depot or Lowe's I guess. read more

The amount of time and money this store has saved me is considerable. It's close to my projects and is priced well. It is very clean and organized inside with staff that has always been helpful and friendly. The couple of returns I've had were handled with no problem. I'm very happy to have this resource right here in PC. read more

Holly S, you are ridiculous. Checking Accuweather, March 12 2018 was 69F. Get out of here with your Bay Area professionally offended garbage. That being said, the Palo Cedro True Value is my number one hardware store that I always go to first, even though I don't even live in Palo Cedro. Staff are friendly, selection is great, and it's a locally owned business that I will always give my business to before the big box nightmares. I visit this location often and look forward to every trip. read more

Today I was outside of true value and I went in to express my concern to one of the workers about dogs sitting outside of the store in a car on a hot day. I was rudely told that it was not a hot enough day for the dog's welfare to be a concern. I was blown off and ignored. I will never shop here again. read more
