CORONA, CA -- 3.5 weeks ago I purchased a Toro Trimmer from the ACE Hardware store in Corona -- I have been doing business with this store for over 20 years. The trimmer began to break and fall apart after 3 weeks of light use. Today I took it back. The receipt said -- "Original receipt is required for refund or exchange within 30 days". I took it back with the original receipt and was told I could not get my money back because I did not bring it back in the original box. Now how many people keep the box after they open the product and use it? They refused to give me my money back.

I talked to a store clerk by the name of ** -- he was very abusive and unprofessional. He told me to come back and see the owner which I will tomorrow. If they refuse to give me my money back, I will be forced to file a civil suit against the store. Beware -- this ACE store practices consumer FRAUD -- please avoid the ACE store in Corona on 6th Street and Lincoln.

Worst Customer Service in a Hardware Store I've Ever Seen

VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON -- I bought a pipe fitting from Ace Hardware in Salmon Creek, WA to hook up my outside line (for the hose). When my husband saw the fitting, he noticed that the turn knob kept turning and wouldn't tighten. However, not being plumbers, we thought it must be OK, it's brand new. Anyway, it did turn out to be a problem, because after we put it on the water WOULDN'T turn off and was gushing everywhere. Thinking that there was something else wrong with our plumbing, we had to call a plumber and $140 later, it turns out that the pipe was defective.

Thinking I was totally justified returning something that was defective, imagine my surprise when the owner would only keep repeating to me that the pipe had been "tampered" with and he couldn't take it back. Not only that, but he was rude as well. I only wanted by money back, which was $30 for having something on their shelf that could cause such an expensive problem...they should pay for the plumber too! I'll never go back, the owner of this particular Ace Hardware is a cheat.

Poor Quality Of Service And Does Not Recognize Their Own Product

ALOHA, OREGON -- My husband purchased 2 items from Ace Hardware in Aloha, Oregon over the past several weeks. I took the items back to ACE for a return as we never used them. The items have the ACE name printed right on the packaging. When I entered the store and handed the items to the checker and told her I wanted to return them, she told me that she could not refund my money because she didn't find the items in her computer, EVEN THOUGH THE ACE NAME WAS PRINTED ON THE PACKAGING.

She called a store manager who told me that since the item could not be found in their computer they could not refund my money. He also said that I could not prove I bought the items from his store. In other words, I was a liar. BEWARE CONSUMERS! REGARDLESS OF WHAT ACE SAYS REGARDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY DON'T HONOR WHAT THEY PROFESS.

This is the second sprayer I buy in 4 yrs and the metal wand that extends has always had pin holes in it. The problem is Ace does not make a wand to buy, you have to buy a whole new set up which costs $45 and it is not fair that you can't make an applicable wand to purchase.

Overpriced or Overcharged

PALM COAST, FLORIDA -- I purchased a six-foot piece of 1/2" rebar at the local Ace Hardware. The price was $10.99 plus tax. I thought that this price was way too much but I had to have it then. I went to Home Depot and Lowe's and the price for a 10-foot piece of rebar was $4.82. To me Ace's price was highway robbery.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- I recently ordered. When they came in, I noticed they needed drapery pins. So I called Ace Hardware to see if they carried them. I was surprised that the young man I talked to actually knew what they were, so my faith in the younger generation has improved.

ACE Hardware Good Customer Service & Products
By -

MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS -- I have numerous home improvement projects and have frequented Ace, Home Depot, Lowe's and local hardware stores. Ace always has a superior selection of tools and products. Their staff is always courteous, offers assistance, and is knowledgeable of their products. I have even special ordered products which were promptly delivered and I was notified of their delivery to the store. Recommend this store over other "home improvement centers". The stores in our area do not carry large items such as lumber, but I would prefer to visit the lumber yard for these items anyway.
