I returned several times, but it remained lost; finally, after carefully describing it to a bright young man, he went up to the attic and FOUND my lamp! They'd put someone else's name on it; had it not been for MY perseverance and HIS listening skills, I still would not now have that beautiful 19th century floor lamp in my living room!

They have creaky wooden floors and a pressed tin cieling, as a real hardware store should. Prices aren't very much lower or higher than the 'big box' stores but the staff knows what they're doing, so i'm happy to pay a few bucks extra. They have fixed chain saw which i though were beyond repair, and special ordered parts i couldn't even find on the internet. What's not to like?

So grateful to have such a great local hardware store. Well-stocked and friendly helpful employees.read more

The skinny older guy with glasses and beard was totally unhelpful. First I waited at the paint counter and he walked by 3 times and didn't say a thing to me. I finally stopped him and said I need help choosing a stain. Every time I asked a question he said "I guess, if you want to". The I ask about waiting to stain between coats. He said, "read the back of the can" and walked away. I ended up with another customer helping me pick which stain and roller to use. He did mix the stain but started having a conversation with someone else. I waited awhile after the shaking machine stopped before interrupting his conversation. This is why so many people will go to big box locations. I won't be going back.

But these days ... they aren't keeping up with the accuracy of the prices listed on the shelves. I take a few steps away after my purchases are rung up, wondering, did I remember this wrong? $2-$3 discrepancy, per item, between the shelf price, and what's rung up at the register. Worse, they don't own that *it's* *their* *job* to keep the shelf labels accurate. Yes, they refund to shelf label price, but fire back "It's the computer.", "It's Ace." This is becoming a "shop elsewhere" issue, for me.

A true throw back, but despite how small they are they really pack it in at this store. They have almost as many things as you can find in other bigger stores with 1/4 the store size.

We put our name on the waitlist, and got a call within a week of his estimated delivery. They were able to assemble and deliver it the same day, and it now sits in our garage pending the next plowable snow. Truly exceptional service, and we will be letting our neighbors know!

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon in need of some pull strings for lights, a tarp, and some sort of hammock-hanging mechanism. Tyler was very helpful and knew exactly where to go for each item on our list. Unfortunately, Aubuchon does not have any hammock hanging kits specifically, but Tyler told us a few different ways we could hang it to the trees, showing us rope, S-hooks, etc. We picked out our items and then stood in line to pay behind a customer who was being helped by Kayla, a cashier. After that customer left, Kayla walked away from the register we were in line at and went to a different register and asked the man standing in line behind us if she could help him. I'm sorry? After helping that customer, it was finally our "turn." She offered no apology nor explanation as to why we were skipped. She just rang up our items and we left. Please help Kayla (and all employees) understand the purpose and importance of customer service. Tyler seems to have it down.
