I recently got a 13w fixture bulb there that two other stores did not carry. (Those were a few miles closer to me.) They also support the local art and charity scene.

I just had a horrific experience at Foster Farrar in Northampton, specifically the lock shop. A…read morecouple years ago they programmed a new key fob to my Sienna so I thought it would be safe to have them order a new key fob for my Prius- the key battery kept dying even after repeated battery replacement. When ordering the new key they did not ask for the VIN even though when I called Toyota dealership they said they needed the number to give me an accurate quote. They quoted me $400 and I paid a $200 deposit. When the key came in, I sent my 18 year old to get the new key programmed to the car. After over 20 minutes of trying, they declared it was the wrong key, and that they needed to order a new one. When my daughter turned on the car, she got a new error message that she had never seen before "Check Hybrid System, Stop the Vehicle in a Safe Place". Panicked, she called me and also went into the store to show then the message. They did not help and I told her to go to Northampton Tire where they instructed her not to drive the car far and to bring it back on Monday. After an hour of labor and running diagnostics, they were able to clear the message and ensure that there was nothing wrong with the car battery. That cost us $160. I called foster farrar and explained that their errors caused us to get a code that made us afraid to drive the car and had to take it to Northampton tire. They said that there was absolutely no connection between them trying to install the incorrect key for 30 minutes and us getting the error message immediately after turning on the car. Furthermore, they said to me that it was not the wrong key, but rather just a "different key" (at which point I said "is this real life?!"). They also lied and said that my daughter said that she saw that message all the time which is completely untrue. She walked in and told them she gotten a key not detected error message before when the key battery was dead, but that she had never seen this new code before. Had they not tinkered with the car using the wrong key fob we never would have had to take the car to Northampton tire to run the diagnostics and remove the code. The person I spoke to at foster farrar was incredibly rude. He said he would never give me the $160 because it was in no way his fault. After much back and forth he said he would talk to the worker who worked on the key and call me back the next day. When he called back the next day he continued to cut me off, refusing to let me speak. He said he would reimburse my deposit because he refused to work on the car, and then he hung up on me as I protested mid-sentence. I am truly disgusted by this level of unprofessionalism displayed by foster farrar employees. I cannot fathom walking back into that store to get my deposit. As a small business owner myself, I would never dream of treating someone the way I was treated, especially after making such a grave error. Please, save yourself time money and heart ache go get your new key fobs at a car dealership that knows what they are doing and aren't abusive to their customers.

Lowes has also shown a commitment to their local communities, their needs, and values them, and this store in Hadley is no different--I might even consider it a flagship store. Names of countless, experienced people have helped me, and I am sad to say I can only recall a few of them to tell you on my first review of a Lowes. The Lowes staff is always moving around the store, and so have a traveled understanding of many sections. It's a large store. I've met staff of varying ages, histories, and experiences at Lowes. I've gotten new blinds cut, hdmi extenders, keys, and more. I'm sure I could write more since I have a collection of names of folk who have helped me. Somewhere. The only caveat I have for you is that they have a chat bot call system, and you usually need to try different options until you can speak to a human being. It's worth it since I've gotten a lot of help from everybody throughout the store. More names in a future review I hope.

Unfortunately I bought an item for same day delivery and it was not delivered. They informed me…read morethat it was delivered but to the wrong place. They said they cant issue a refund or switch my order to a in store pick up. I spent time opening a case to get a refund and was told i would get an update in 24 hours.

Now its been 3 days - no refund, no order, no case update, no problem solving. Just inconvenience after inconvenience and time wasted. Now I have to go to the store and purchase the item with no resolution. -5/10 experience.

Northampton Plumbing Supply is a hidden gem tucked away in the industrial park. I used to think it…read morewas just for contractors, but I just learned that they welcome homeowners too. I had a bathroom faucet with a leak. I first went to a big box home improvement store with off-brand parts that made the problem worse. The big box store also pushed me to buy parts I didn't need. So then I went to NPS. I told the employee behind the counter the brand of faucet I had and the problem and he did some research. He went back to their supplies and found something I never would have picked up on my own. Evidently Delta Faucets changed their design for the gasket/ball assembly. They had the exact Delta brand part I needed and it cost less than the big box supplies (that didn't work). I'm very glad I went here. He was also nice with my 3-year old who tagged along! Absolutely going here again.

We called on Monday morning at 7 AM when they opened to tell them to cancel the order. Not only was our order not loaded onto the truck when we called, but they then decided to charge us a 25% restocking fee because they called it a custom order. This was not a custom order. It was an in stock order. We were told it was in stock so how does that make it custom? I will never do business with this company again. I wouldn't have given this company one star except that's the only way I could post a review. Koopman's is only out to steal your money!

Liz totally "got" our design and style perfectly. Not only is the farm table EXACTLY what we wanted (7'ft long...seats ten ppl easily), it was literally half the price of West Elm tables. AND she made it for us with reclaimed wood a local grain mill. Major bonus. They are local business that really cares about the community.
