Ace Hardware Reviews

We purchased a rv water pressure regulator from the Davis Ace Hardware in Springerville Arizona. We installed it, it did not work as intended. The water flow was very slow. We fussed with it for a while, with no change. It would not work as needed. My wife took it back for a refund a week later when she was heading into town. With the open package, and receipt in hand, she politely asked for a refund. She was exposed to having to go through several level of scrutiny, by different employees, at one point having to wait five to tens minutes while they chose to test it. An older gentleman came back and told her that it works. My wife said, it didn't work for us, and he said, "It works here."

Ace Hardware in Susupe in Saipan. I already open claim to Attorney General. I will report to BBB, Consumer Affairs and all. I bought hose 08/24 then asked for refund 08/25 with same condition because the item is not washer hose but they denied because the product is soaker hose, not refundable. There is no damage at all, can not deny for no reason. I called Lois ** Ace Hardware cor MP to complain. Lois called Supervisor Angie and Angie lie to Lois that I bought 2 days ago and there is water in the hose. This business hurting innocent people by wrongdoing, lie, unreasonable policy. Why nonody explained to me before I purchase this is not refundable item. Why 2 employees eager to find items and recommended to me when I ask longer hose for washing machine? Why this Supervisor Angie lie to Company in front of customer. I recorded the lies.

We have been going to this store for over 10 years now, not to mention we have spent thousands in this store over time. Most of the time we have a decent experience. HOWEVER....today we were treated like garbage by an employee named Carl, an older, know it all man with a terrible attitude and he talked down to my wife like she was stupid or something.

As of July 27, 2023, this program is less of a benefit. The new rewards coupon is Get $5.00 off of $30.00 spent regular price items. This just change from Get $5.00 when spending $20.00. And a while back it was to get $7.00 off. Does not work with sales items. This program has less and less value, not worth participating. We all know we have been stuck with higher prices due to someone's inflation economics. But cost have come down, but retailers are not pass their lower cost to the consumer.

Think twice before buying any item online and privately owned stores since they claim they are “not affiliated” with each other and each store has the right to deny you a refund with a valid receipt regardless of company policy. I purchased an Ego battery that would charge but not hold longer than 30 min. while in use. 3 days later I tried to return it only to be refused a refund/exchange. This item does not qualify as gas equipment as the owner stated, I hope the $180 is worth him losing local business. I was also told by the manager, to “take the battery and get out of his store” when asking for them to show me the store policy and his last name. Unfortunately, shopping local to support a business was a mistake. I also emailed corporate and never received a response and called customer service with no resolution. No seems to know their policy and makes it up as you talk to them!

On 5/22/23 I purchased a GE Universal remote to control my Vizio TV it would not set up or work the TV, today I went to return the remote for credit and was told I could not return it because I had opened the package. I told the clerk if I did not open it, I would never know if it would work or not. I was rather shocked to see that an Ace Hardware store would not credit me for the remote that I purchased that would not do what I bought it to do.

I've tried over a dozen times to place an order with Ace Hardware, yet due to their unbelievably high shipping costs, I never have and NEVER will! I'm the procurement manager for our corporation, make ALL purchasing decisions and choose our suppliers, in which case Ace will never get our high-end business vs. all other suppliers of our industrial needs that offer FREE SHIPPING or extremely low, reasonable shipping. Example - had 3 cans of lacquer thinner in their cart, then when I went to check out the price DOUBLED due to their thievingly, over the top, high shipping. Bought it way cheaper from another reputable supplier, for the EXACT SAME THINNER, with FREE SHIPPING. Their HUGE loss!

I thought they sold Sherwin Williams, they do not. It was Sunday & I did not know if any other places were open. The paint rep told me they could make any of SW colors, upon telling him what I wanted he told me they could not make that one. The $72 can I received was rusted as if it had been outside for 10 years. 3 days later I had everything ready to paint, when I opened the can I realized it was not completely closed (thankfully it didn’t spill in my car). The paint was a huge clump that could not be stirred. When I spent part of my day off work going back to the store to get a new can. Did the mgr or the same paint rep even say they were sorry for the inconvenience, no. I was offered a replacement but they were out of the upgraded bathroom paint I originally bought so I had to downgrade, again without as much as a verbal apology. Then I had to use 3 coats to get decent coverage with the low quality paint.

The company worked with me to help me purchase new mouse traps. It initially was very difficult, but they called me and coordinated with me to get the mouse traps.

Cannot believe how lazy and inconsiderate the male cashier was today at the Colbert Ace Hardware. It was 15 minutes till closing when I arrived and attempted to find a plumbing item on my own before asking for help when I couldn't locate it. I went up to the register and asked the gentleman, an older hippie/biker type with bandana headband, if someone could help me... he immediately said no, he was stuck at the register. I asked if there was someone else who was able to assist me... I was completely dumbfounded, “You mean there is no one in this store who can help me find what I’m looking for? I’m the only customer in the store.” He said "No, Ms. ** and me are the only two here.”
