Sadly my recent experience trying to return something I bought just two days prior with a receipt…read morewas such an unpleasant one that I will not be returning. The manager insinuated that I was lying about what an employee had told me about the return policy, and made a point to tell me that he would accept my return "this one time, but never again." This was a matter of two items amounting to $20. This is a way to lose customers.

They sent me an email said it'll be ready in 35 minutes. just to watch my grandchild's game. I went there in an hour and Eddie working at the front told me that they had none in stock even before I showed him the order. I told him we'll just cancel it. He stated that they don't usually do that and he called his manager on the speakerphone and his manager stated tell her we'll ship it. I told him I don't want it shipped. I have a game this afternoon. That's why I ordered the same day. The manager sent an African-American gentleman up who explained to me that Eddie was new. I told him what does that have to do with anything? Just cancel the order I've made an hour ago. He said that there are procedures that need to go through, but it will be canceled. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVE AN EMAIL THAT IT'LL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY AFTER I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL. IT WENT IN THE STORY. The next day I called on Sunday at 12:32 MELISSA, WHO THEY TOLD ME WAS A REGIONAL MANAGER. I asked to speak with her. They put me on hold for 12 minutes and 56 seconds. And every time I call back both times they put me back on hold for five minutes. NEVER SHOP HERE IF THE REGIONAL MANAGER HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DOESN'T CARE WHY DO YOU THINK THE STORE EMPLOYEES ARE INCOMPETENT? MONEY wasn't a factor CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS INADEQUATE AND NONEXISTENT IN THIS STORE

This review has been way overdue. I just finished a plumbing project for my mom, and I thought that…read morethis was the best time to visit Yelp. My family has been been doing business Ace/Pini hardware ever since it was on Grant Avenue, Novato . The customer service has never changed since I was in my teens and now in my 60s. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful on DIY projects. When entering, I'm always, ALWAYS greeted by an associate and asked if there's something he/she can help me do, explain and or find. It's my humble opinion that this is one of the best Customer service examples in the industry. Thank you, Pini Hardware!!!

Unfortunately, this visit was frustrating. I placed an online order that was estimated to be ready in 15 minutes. I intentionally waited an hour before coming in, but I still had to wait while my order was put together. It honestly would have been faster to walk the aisles myself, grab the item, and pay at the register. What disappointed me even more was the customer service at the front counter. The staff I interacted with came across as dismissive and unfriendly, which made the experience feel less welcoming than I expected. I genuinely want to keep supporting Cole Hardware because local businesses matter. I just hope they can improve the online pickup process and provide a friendlier customer experience. Those two changes would make a big difference and would keep me choosing them over the convenience of Amazon.
