So I'm looking for a part for a step van and no one can help me. Reliable Chevy sent me to…read moreFriendly Chevy. They sent me to Friendly Chevy Fleet Service. They sent me to Austin Hardware. I get to Austin Hardware: I walk in the office area and they send me to the warehouse area. As I walk in the door, I see signs that say, "No walk-ups." "If you don't have an order, please dial 8100 and talk to a salesperson and tell them you are at the Dallas warehouse." Of course, I called the number and got a "fast busy" and finally a guy came and said he was going to get a salesperson to help me. So Tom comes out and says, "can I help you?" I tell him, "I have a step van with a tilt hood and I need the buckle that holds down the hood." *Tom's looking at me as if he's not understanding me at all.* "It's a Chevy P30 with a tilt hood?" *Still looking at me as if I'm talking a foreign language.* me: "Okay, so it's a 1996...." Tom: "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you need?" I finally figure out that this place sells just the hardware. They don't know what the hardware goes on, so of course he doesn't know what buckle goes on which car, he just knows the buckles. Me: "I have a van that has a broken buckle, it's rubber and it looks kinda like these" *pointing to a picture on the wall. Tom: "hmm.. let me bring out the catalog and you can look at those." *off he goes* He comes back and starts flipping through.. Me: "Oh, I have a picture of the buckle..." *fumbling with my iphone* Tom: "Oh, that's a (such and such) series. Let me see if we have one." *off he goes again* comes back again "the nearest one is in Elkhart, Indiana. We can have it shipped down here but it will be a couple days. Me: "Can I have it shipped to me directly?" Tom: "Sure, I just need your address and a form of payment." *off he goes once more and comes back with a receipt and we're all done. The whole experience was difficult but mainly because I didn't know what to expect but luckily, I had a picture of the part I needed and Tom knew exactly what that part was. Thanks Austin Hardware!

My purchasing agent has been trying to contact Tom all day to get a simple answer about locks he…read moreordered. He was told they'd be here no later than 4/19. It's 4/23 and not only are the locks not here, but Tom has lost his ability to answer a phone, return a call, and the hardest task of all, reply to an email. Because Tom couldn't handle the difficult task of answering, we didn't have time to re-schedule our installers. Now all of our lockers are going to site to be installed without locks and we'll have to re-schedule our installers to make another trip to the jobsite to install the locks if they ever get here. If you like being lied to, ignored, and having costs added to your project, by all means shop here.

They took the time to explain what I needed, showed me exactly which materials to get, and even gave me some great tips on how to install it. I left feeling confident instead of clueless.

I purchased the EGO Power+ 800 Series battery-powered lawn mower on June 4th. After setting it up…read moreand using it to mow my lawn, I found that it did not perform as expected. It required two passes to achieve the same cut quality as my old gas-powered mower. Additionally, the self-propelled feature felt clunky and was difficult to maneuver, making the mowing experience more cumbersome than convenient. I was hoping to make the switch away from gas and oil for conveince and environmental reasons, but unfortunately, this unit doesn't meet my needs. I've decided to return to using my old reliable gas mower for now. Now for Ace, I tried to return the mower after using it for 30-minutes and cleaning it up. I was told because I used it, they would not take it back. Off to Ace corporate to see if they can help!
