Disclaimer: I had formerly left a great review for this place because of the helpfulness of the…read morestaff, namely Aidan and Greg, but feel obliged to update it in light of what turned out to happen as a result of the advice I was given here. Went in to buy a knife, specifically for whittling. Showed an example of the old knife I was using, have been using for around 20 years, but wanted to pass it on to my nephew and get myself a new one. Was advised that a small kershaw would be a good choice, and I paid a tidy sum (a bit over $100, after tax) for the pleasure. The very next day, the tip broke off. I went back in and it was suggested to me that the tip/profile of the knife was too narrow to be durable for whittling, especially when performing concave cuts into the wood. This was, unfortunately, something I had overlooked, having assigned in my mend a tremendous credibility to the staff who had helped me around my original purchase. I was then told that knife sales were final, and that warranty or repairs would have to go directly through the manufacturer, a process that is unhelpfully unrealistic for me because I do not have a stable mailing address and, frankly, would rather just spend my time whittling with my old knife. I just told them to keep it. Suffice it to say that I'm tremendously disappointed to have made my gregariousness and trust in expert testimony to cloud my judgment and allow myself be swindled into buying a $100 folder less fit for the task than my ~$19 gerber from the Clinton administration. Below is the old review, preserved for posterity. Excuse the fantastical grammar; I was feeling rather passionate about my positive experience when I drafted it originally. I will say that Aidan in the lumber section is still steadfast and reliable in his advice and skill in cutting fresh pine for me to whittle with. Buy wood here, but be skeptical of buying anything pricey; ESPECIALLY from a brand you've never worked with in the past. OLD REVIEW: At this very store exists a man named Greg. He's got a beard that could go toe to toe with Father Christmas himself, and a knowledge of knives that puts to shame any "master" you may find in the world of men. They would all kneel to Greg. His name might actually be Craig, actually; I could have misheard him. I'm not sure. But he's from Alaska, and you can see in his eyes wisdom that could've only been gained through a lifetime of rugged survival in such a wild, unforgiving land. He taught me how to sharpen my knife, gave me a good recommendation for a knife worth caring for in the first place, told me how to test the sharpness, and did so with an enthusiasm and passion matched only by his extensive knowledge and clear clarity of soul. So I tell you, traveler: should you ever need to slice an onion, carve a wooden block, or just have a cool knife you can show off to your nephews so they will think you are cool, make your pilgrimage to this place. Find Greg (maybe Craig. But pretty sure it's Greg?) and you will be put right on the path of enlightenment!

Thank goodness for YouTube and the Plumbing Suppliers store. I brought in the interior part of my spout and they helped me get it open so I could replace two O rings, one was completely worn out.

There were a number of professional plumbers getting supplies in the store, but I appreciate how they took their time to help me and not make me feel silly for not knowing exactly what to do. After I got home I was able to make the repair in about 5 mins and the dripping has stopped.

The first made me feel I was imposing on them with my amateur questions and I very much got the "move along" vibe. A little bummed I moved on and stopped in at Santa Rita Steel - whole different ball of wax. They have a friendly and helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere. They actually took me out to the yard and showed me different material options and even some sample fence sections in the back - helping me change my plan a bit and get the correct amount of material ordered up. The first fence project was a hit with both the neighbors and our tenants and I'm now on my 3rd fence - death to rotting wooden fences! I'll always use Santa Rita Steel for my material.

To my surprise, no one sold these GE plates in the whole state of AZ. In fact, I was told by several people including electricians that I would need to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade my box because it was from the early 80's. I am in no position to spend that kind of money. My inspector simply require I have a deadplate covering my breakers. So I got busy calling around to several metal and steel business to request a plate be made. Due to COVID 19 many places didn't have the bandwidth to get this done in a 24/48hr turnaround time or they didn't/won't due this type of work. I was desperate because my deadline was fast approaching. To my surprise, I was guided to contact Santa Rita Steel. I spoke with Poncho and well, the rest is history. Not only were they able to get my plate drafted and made within 48hours, they did with a superb price point. I will definitely recommend calling them to handle your needs, big or small. I have confidence that they can get it done! Thanks again to the SRS team! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!

Hit or miss. I live in Drexel Heights, so I have a 32 mile round trip…read more Sometimes the cartridges work fine. Other times, I either have to make multiple trips, or return a defective item. This week I got an HP 206x Magenta cartridge for my laser printer. As I was removing the tape the tiny plastic piece holding the chip fell oft. I couldn't figure out how to put the chip back onto the cartridge, necessitating now a 2nd trip to return the cartridge. It is a 90 minute round trip. So I will have 3 hours time invested in a product that doesn't work. On the positive side, they will either refund my money if it's less than 30 days, or replace the item. I will opt to return. It would be less time, albeit more expensive, to go to Office Max and get the cartridge there, instead of not being able to print for several days. I should have saved my old cartridge. At least I would have been able to print black and white. The staff however, gets an "A" for customer service.

Another win for shopping local!…read more My ink-jet Canon printer (purchased in a dreary big-box store in 2020) started spitting out partial lines of text throughout many of my documents, and I soon was dreading entering another chain store to buy a new printer altogether. So I called Young Grami at Cartridge World for his suggestions, as I've bought ink cartridges from them for years. He suggested I bring examples of the mis-printed pages over for them to diagnose in person - in person! - and my boyfriend brought over my printer as well, since they also offer serious printer-cleaning services, in case that was needed. In the end, Young took a closer look at the printer while I chatted with owner Kathy Sawyer about the store's new, more convenient location in Midway Office Park (4500 E. Speedway #75) - and in just minutes, he had fixed whatever was ailin' the machine. Tucson has some marvelous local businesses, and Cartridge World is one of them. Thank you!

After researching online, and speaking with experts at various garden centers and landscapers, the conclusion: Tank's Green Stuff.

She gave us the cost estimate for the soil and delivery fee with a date and time it would be delivered. We ordered two(2) cubic yards of Tank's Green Stuff - Pro Planting Mix to fill our raised beds. The cost estimate was exactly as described, the delivery was on time. Tim, the driver who delivered the soil, added a bonus to the entire experience. When he pulled up to our house in his big, delivery truck -- our neighbor and her children (two-to-15 years old) came outside to watch.
