There are always several knowledgeable employees there. You cannot say that for the big hardware stores now. I was there. They had no idea what I needed. Here, Action Harware, knows or works with others to find it, help you help yourself or they even will replace a screen in a window screen if you can get it to them. Sure, costs a little more but, there are always questions. Those who know, know! read more

The great thing about this hardware store is if you walk in and ask for a whatchamacallit for your broken thingamabob, they'll figure out what you need. Nice people too! read more

Moved to the area about 4 years ago and bought many things - anywhere from paint, to downspout extenders, rope, river rock, you name it. I love this store. I agree with one review in that their prices are a little higher than the Depot or Lowe's, but it's worth the convenience and the "small town" feel that you get shopping here. The younger "kids" who work there aren't as engaging, but they're usually working the register. read more

Reviewing for my boss who doesn't have a yelp: I went into Action Hardware a few different times and picked up the wrong item. When Bob asked me about what I needed, he took time out of his day to help me find the right item each time. He explained to me how each item worked and always made sure I got everything I needed. He is kind and very, very helpful. I cannot recommend him enough! Go Bob!! read more

I love there tool section especially the channel tools. Very convenient. For some reason it's not let me mark 5 Stars thank you ] read more

I don't think I've ever purchased something from there that has actually worked or hasn't broken in the first week of ownership.

I live steps away from Action Hardware, and as a relatively new homeowner, we're over there about once per month. They have the stuff you need for small to medium-sized jobs, and when you're an idiot and forgot to buy a shovel when the snowstorm is headed your way, they've got 'em when Home Depot and Lowe's don't. I'm taking off a star because the younger folks who work there don't seem like they want to be there, and you can get through a whole 15-minute shopping event plus check-out without so much as a grunt coming your way. But if you snag one of the older guys, the service rocks socks. Holy crap, I sound old. (Damn whippersnappers... off my lawn!) read more

I'll make it short and sweet :) Really convenient - close to home and I don't have to navigate big box hell parking lot. Great service - I was greeted immediately upon entering the store, when I asked for my item I was shown where it was NOT directed. Pleasant experience - staff was friendly. Not sure what I would have paid for a radiator key at Home Depot. I don't really care if I would have saved .01 or 1.00 - I'll always rather pay more for pleasant experience and to support a real person's business. Thanks Action! read more

Everyone in this store is both knowledgeable and helpful! In addition, it's well stocked and I have always found what I wanted or needed. Best in the area! read more

I have been going to this store for 39 years, I have lived in Delaware for 39 years and this is one place that has been a constant reminder of how stores should be. They have a very nice staff that can help you with most common house hold problems. Need a piece of glass or your screen fixed no problem. I wish more people in northern Delaware went to this store they deserve our business, forget those big block stores, come to a store where the help really cares. Oh and the big guy with the beard loves to talk about Batman and Superheros. Thanks for the great job you do. read more

About as good a hardware store you could ask for in a little shopping plaza. They have a wide variety of items ranging from lawn/hardware etc to household and even pet stuff. May be a bit overpriced compared to say Lowes BUT its quick and convenient and sometimes you can get good prices on off brand stuff. read more

Constantly grabbing little things that help me accomplish taks at home. Keep forgetting the one thing we have needed for the girls bathroom though. Opps haha. I totally recommend people stopping here first instead of hitting up lowes or home depot. read more

For a modest-sized hardware store, they stock quite a wide array of products. But their best feature is the staff. I'm usually greeted when I enter, and it's always easy to find someone who's not only friendly but also knows a tremendous amount about hardware in general and about the store's inventory in particular. Home Depot and Lowe's have their functions in life, but for basic hardware needs, give me a place like Action Hardware every time. read more

I so appreciate having this hardware store five minutes away! These small businesses get crowded out by the Home Depots, etc. The people that work there are very experienced and generous with their time when I'm in there looking for a solution for some problem around the house, plumbing or whatever it may be. I've had then re-do screens, cut Plexiglas, advise me on garden issues...they have a good selection of anything I'm likely to need around the house. We need these stores! There are so few of them left! read more

They have a agreement with JC Penny's that you can buy online at JCP's site and have products shipped free to store for pick up. Convenient if you're in the Wilmington area. read more

This is a great local hardware store. Always friendly and ready to assist you. I love going here.

Too overpriced. It was worth the drive up the street to a big chain store to save a few dollars. Customer service level needs improvement. Not worth recommending or going back. read more

The staff at this store has gone way out of their way for me more than once. One day I went in and bought heavy gauge wire, which they cut into 30 marshmallow sticks for me for a class trip...at no charge! I go there for everything now. read more

This store is great! Everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly. If they don't have what I'm looking for, they always find something that I need. They have everything! Wide variety. This is my go to hardware store! read more

I use Action Hardware all the time. So much easier to use them instead of Home Depot or Lowes. There are always guys available to help you find items quickly.. read more

I love this store! I always try here before lowes or Home Depot. The staff has always been helpful, never condescending. And I love the stuff I can find here. A great neighborhood shop. read more

ACTION HARDWARE IS OPEN, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPEN - IN SPITE OF WHAT YELP SAYS. A very convenient and well-stocked hardware store that has been around for a long time, with excellent, helpful sales staff. Of course, they can't compete with the big chain stores on prices, but where they excel is in personal customer service and the convenience of not having to deal with the crowds, etc., of the chain stores. read more

Great store- I have been going there for decades. The have a great selection- whoever picks the merchandise knows what works- for example they have household cleaners that are hard to find elsewhere- the stuff that actually works! Always my first choice over the big box stores. read more
