On 4/8, I purchased a craftsman drill from this Ace Hardware. At checkout, Cassie the cashier told…read moreme if it is opened they cannot return it unless it's defective but even then they recommend going through craftsman to return it. I go home, open the drill to put the battery on the charger and the charger will not work. We tried four different outlets and it will not work at all. So I call craftsman because Cassie told me it would be a hassle to come back for a defective product, and craftsman tells me they will not and cannot do anything if it is within 30 days of purchase. It is up to the store to return the item. So I called Ace, I spoke with a guy and told him what happened. He said to come in today while the store manager is there before 5 or tomorrow when he is there. I came in today (4/9) and told Cassie what happened. She called up Mike, the shift manager. I told him what happened. He said that he cannot return it to the store. No one can. That I have to go through craftsman. I told him I called yesterday and was told the store manager would be here. He said he doesn't know who I spoke with and that he wasn't gonna be there today and he's the only one who could MAYBE do something, that I now I have to waste my time and come back tomorrow. He offered to keep the drill and take my info and have the manager reach out tomorrow, but he could not and would not take it out of the box and look at what I was talking about. He said that it was store policy that they cannot return it. I asked where that was, where it was posted. He used his foot to point out a sign that said they don't accept returns or exchanges. Yet I was told by the cashier for a defective item, that I could return it, and that that policy was not posted anywhere about defective items. I once again, called craftsman after leaving the store and they have informed me there is nothing they can do within the 30 day window and that the store HAS TO accept the return, exchange, etc. So now I have to wait until the manager Keaton comes in to see how screwed I am going to be or wait 5-8 WEEKS for craftsman to give me a refund.. I am appalled. Oh and to top it'll off, according to the manufacturer date it has been sitting on their shelf for 4 years.

Tom Terrific here with another honest business review…read more I buy tools at this place and the other HF in Palm Harbor. Life can be made easy or diificult by others when you are severely hearing impaired as I am. I'm always grateful to those who are helpful and understanding. Bless them. At times I can understand a word or three and I fill in the blanks mentally to see if i can get the drift of what they are saying. Certain people's frequencies are also a factor. I hear men more than women. Monday @ 11am. This HF had one a helpful and a rude. One who took me to the tool I needed and the other who was rude. A big thank you to the short woman with dark hair who found what I was looking for. The female cashier's nametag said Sam. I placed my purchase in front of her and she started to speak to me of what I do not know. I explained to her I was hearing impaired and could not read lips. Sam gave me a disgusted look. She kept talking. I said, "May I purchase this product, please?" I believe I heard her say a sentence that ended in "...like to say no." More frowns and disgust. You'd think by her looks and attitude i had just crawled out of a dumpster that was behind a fish market. To the owner or manager, I would keep an eye on Sam. As a man who had four successful businesses when I could hear, i know it only takes one bad employee to sink the ship.

We've consistently enjoyed outstanding service at the Lowe's on Little Road in New Port Richey. One…read moreemployee we've especially enjoyed fantastic Customer Service from is Danielee. She is friendly, attentive, informed and helpful! In a time when Outstanding Customer Service feels like an exception to the rule, Danielle takes us back to a time when working with the public entailed comprehensive Customer Service training. While speaking with Danielle, I noticed a sign on the Customer Service counter that requests from Customers that they please refrain from abusive speech and behavior being directed to the Lowe's staff (paraphrased). I mentioned to Danielle that it's sad that this sign is even needed. Even with this opportunity to complain, Danielle maintained a positive and helpful attitude and smile. She exemplifies outstanding Customer Service, and I suspect it's her normal disposition. I hope she is recognized and rewarded for the important contribution she makes to the Lowe's team and brand!

Called warranty department and they sent a link to schedule appointment, I received a confirmation for an 8am-12pm appointment. At 8am received a message that they cannot make it until between 12pm-5pm. They showed up between 2pm - 2:30pm and said its the main frame board and it will take them 5-7 days to get the part. So Lowes at Ridge and Little is refusing to replace it even though its still under warranty and the warranty department does not care about a family 4 going without a Frig for 5-7 days. Lowes truly do NOT care about their Customers!!!!!!!!!!

The moment I walk in the guy behind the counter starts telling me how they don't have the part I…read morewant. I go to explain that I need an adapter and he starts spouting a bunch of plumber jargon at me and how they don't have what I'm looking for. I show him a picture of what I'm looking for and he doesn't look at it and tells me they don't have any 14 inch faucets because I'm holding a 14 inch faucet. I explain that I am bringing this in to find a piece that adapts to it and that this faucet is just fine and I'm not looking to replace it in 14 or 12 inches. So he did not understand my problem at all and was telling me how they couldn't solve it. I go to show him pictures again of what I want and he doesn't understand he just starts talking about how they don't have it. I have to explain to him that the picture is showing five different common parts, not one and he then proceeds to recommend some other place tells me all about how they have a selection of parts but that they won't sell them to me unless I'm a licensed plumber. Very unhelpful. Terrible customer service. He had no idea what I was looking for. And upon further Investigation into the pieces that I need he did in fact have the parts that I wanted after sending me out. Was I dressed nicely for this place? Because I'm not wearing overalls doesn't mean I don't know how to turn a wrench.
