Little stuff, a couple of screws for a bed, some doorknob set screws and some brackets for my storm door. Put simply, he didn't have what I needed (fine) and told me what he had (also fine). When I asked questions about the specs on the screws he had vs what I needed, he was just nasty and unhelpful. I was simply trying to understand the difference between the metric screws I had and the "quarter 20s" he had! He acted like I was a pain in the neck and he didn't have time to bother with my little stuff that would have generated only $10 of revenue (store was virtually empty). I want to use local businesses, not the big home store retailers. I have plenty of reasons to go to a local hardware store, say 2 times a month. But this store will NEVER get my business, large or small. At least the dolts at Lowe's and The Home Depot are willing to answer simple questions with patience rather than pique. No wonder small hardware stores are disappearing! This one could not disappear soon enough.

I purchased a new GE Profile oven and a GE French Door Refrigerator through Bouchard Pierce in…read moreEssex Vermont. From purchase through Julia Cozza to the delivery, was an exceptional experience. Julia handled my multitude of questions with concern and clarity. The delivery was spot on time, gave me a call 15 minutes out. I live in a very old house with narrow doorways and steep steps. Jack and Ray delivered these appliances after many measurements, without any complaints as to the difficulty. Took off my doors with great care and hauled these heavy appliances up my narrow back steps weaving around a railing where there was not 1/4 inch to spare. They took care and time with all aspects, from Jack showing me tips of how to use the induction range to Ray making sure I was careful about putting frozen food into the freezer before it was at the temperature required. I truly valued their help and most important to me, was their attitude of concern towards me, the homeowner and the respect it reflected towards Bouchard Pierce. I will never shop anywhere else, ever.

We recently decided to purchase a Bertazzoni induction range from Bouchard-Pierce rather than a…read moreless expensive online retailer to support local business. While the sales staff and installation teams were both friendly and knowledgeable, we have now had the worst customer service experience I've had in decades. Fair warning! In less than 5 weeks, a knob broke on the range making the burner inoperable. It's now been over 7 weeks since we reported it and we are yet to get it fixed. In the interim, another knob has broken. We are out $6k and the customer service team could honestly care less. Their communication has been basically nonexistent and the two times we've had to call to follow up, the sales rep was incredibly rude, interrupting me constantly and passing the buck on down the line to anyone she could think of- throwing her sales team under the bus, blaming Bertazzoni, and basically telling us that neither she nor Bouchard-Pierce were remotely responsible. I run a global customer success and services team and if any of my colleagues treated a customer the way we've been treated, they'd be terminated immediately. While I understand that there are constraints in any system, I know what decent customer service looks like and this is NOT IT. I hate that I can't recommend these folks because I am a very loyal local business supporter but this has been a truly terrible experience.

I live 3 miles from the store so I figured getting something delivered from here would be easier than trying to arrange something with a business farther away. The delivery policy, although possibly well-designed for Lowe's, blows. I have to wait two weeks for delivery despite getting a call from the store a few days after purchase informing me that my items arrived. To deliver my items 3 miles away, Lowe's can only give me a day they intend to do so. On that day, someone will call me and give me a 3-hour window of time when they will come. Since I work, I can't set aside a day to sit around and wait for a call only to sit around and wait for some guys to show up. Again, I am 3 miles away. If you can't do better than that with your delivery schedule then I see no reason to make large purchases from Lowe's. P.S. I discovered that I need a power cord for the dryer that I purchased (by the way, I am still waiting for the complicated delivery formula to make it my turn) and went to Lowe's to buy it. I figured I should get it at the store where I purchased the dryer. It's lame that the appliance does not come with its own source of power but one can hardly blame Lowe's for that. I stood in the appliance section for 20 minutes waiting for help. I then circulated the other departments and could not find a soul to help me. This was at 4:00 and the store was fairly empty. At 4:40 when I left empty-handed, nobody had surfaced to help me.

They were two to $3000 apiece and they've not lasted anymore than a year when I go to have the other refrigerator removed by the people who are delivering this refrigerator the delivery people refused to take it away. I was told that if I called got junk, they would reimburse it , it's been since July. And I'm not allowed to talk to the management staff here now simply because I reported them to the attorney generals office for fraud since I have had to be here so many times I'm still not been paid back for this, I have been in the store now. They have not done it STILL. The fact that they won't even hold up their end of the agreement. (we were told at every step we would be paid back for one 800 got junk now they're saying we think we should be paid back and they're saying that they didn't say we would be paid) this is exploitative. I can't go elsewhere because when they're appliances fail, they send you a gift card to Lowe's. I spoke to the corporate office many times each time not only was I told we would be paid back in an overnight check. I also would receive 40 and $50 gift certificates for my inconvenience. My inconvenience has yet to end. It's now October 5th this incident was in July. I have been there so many times this is insane and I am hell hostage by them. I can't go somewhere else because they sell me a useless appliance and then they give me a gift card to pay me back so I'm stuck.
