I have to wonder if my recent experience was just a bad hire or something else?…read more I called to check if an item was in stock and verify pricing - the woman who answered the phone was fairly abrupt (rude), "I'm with another customer right now." Anyhow she put me on hold, then got back to me, "Yeah, we have what you're looking for." 2 minutes later, I arrived and made my purchase. No pleasantries, no "thank you" upon completion of the transaction. I'm not sure if they're still capturing phone numbers and tracking sales, but that didn't happen either. I self-loaded my two 40 lb. sacks of water softener salt. Too bad I threw out my $5 coupon they mailed me - today would have been a good day to use it - I earned it. Disappointed...3 stars is probably generous.

So what's the point? Why pay convenience store prices for things that you can get for way cheaper online or at the giant orange box store? Over $7 to cut a damn key?! And I brought the key blank!!! Come on. You're not even trying to be fair. I wanted to support a local small business but this place is truly not worth the sky high prices for these things. This store isn't worth it unless you're truly desperate to have what you need. Otherwise steer clear their prices are a joke.

I get a dirty look, and he mumbles some curse words under his breath. WTF. I'm never coming back here again. I'd rather go to Southbay hardware on Artesia, where they are friendly and they have no issues with you returning an item. This guy is a complete jerk and should not be anywhere near anything that has to do with customer service.

I wouldn't rate them below three stars, feels unconscionable, so that's where this lands for me…read more The main factor is pricing. Items here run noticeably higher compared to larger, non-mom-and-pop hardware stores, which makes it harder to shop here regularly. Keys were $7 each, and I accidentally grabbed a key ring I thought was $6, but it had been placed on the wrong hook and rang up as $13. A few areas of the store could use better organization and upkeep. Items were hung in the wrong place or can't easily tell pricing. I came in just to make keys and ended up spending $30. That said, the store staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated.

I'm a believer of patronizing the "mom and pop" stores in these times of big box stores and the convenience of the internet but charging more than 2x for threaded plastic pipe for sprinklers is a little much. 1/2" x 10" pipe @ HH: $3.19 1/2" x 12" pipe @ BB: $1.52 I understand that they're going to be a little bit pricier and I enjoy their knowledge when I have questions but I can't.

Yelp review -- 0 star Title: Open on a holiday, but terrible…read morecustomer service and a threatening confrontation I stopped into South Bay Industrial Hardware today (Nov 11, 2025) because they were open on the holiday and I needed a can of Fix-A-Flat. The owner, John, completed the sale but the can I bought had a leak at the top of the hose -- something I've used before and never had an issue with. I explained that the tube looked tightly packed and might have been damaged in packaging, and asked to exchange it. Instead of listening, John stared at the can suspiciously and acted as if I was being dishonest. He reluctantly let me exchange it but warned that if the replacement didn't work I wouldn't receive a refund. He grew rude and condescending during the interaction, which was upsetting. After I left the register I said, while still in the store, "Thanks for not trusting me." He laughed. I regret that I used a bad word once I was outside. What followed was alarming: he came running out of the store and tried to grab the exchanged can out of my hands. He threatened to call the police and -- while I was recording from about nine feet away -- said into the phone, "she's right next to my face." At one point he would not state what he thought my ethnicity was, which felt explicitly hostile and discriminatory. I have video of the incident and plan to preserve it and report what happened. I'm sharing this to warn others about the poor, confrontational customer service and the intimidating behavior I experienced. I will not recommend this business based on how I was treated today.
