This place sucks! The staff is often not at the registers and have to be searched for. Prices are high and the small hispanique guy is openly hostile. I will never go there again after buying a cherry hard limonade, had it leak on the way out the door, got all over my car upholstery. When I asked to exchange it ​for one that did not leak, they got angry and said "only if you pay me"! I have never been treated this rudely at a store before. Please steer clear of Big Market! read more

They exhibit great disrespect for their customers; not just once, but often. They will not allow ANY returns, even if you picked up the wrong size hose clamp (they sell hardware also). If you do need hardware, you'll have to drive to Blythe. The wife owner will start yelling if you insist on replacing/exchanging a purchased piece of hardware or other items purchased by mistake. STAY AWAY FROM THAT STORE! read more

Poor customer service and returns. Owner loudly refused a return of recently purchased and unopened air filters.

The man helping the customers find and use products was very helpful. He showed me how to do a few things o I quoted about. Thanks. I don't catch his name. The other employee said he's the "Little Mexican Guy". Is also like to say how helpful she was as well. read more

Awful ownership. Too many terrible things to share here. Suffice to say we've had our credit card compromised twice at this store. If you absolutely have to go pay cash. There are no refunds on anything. Better options elsewhere. read more

The old Chinese woman working at the Big Market/Hardware store on Main St in Quartzsite was very rude to me as I walked in the front door. Little did I know she was running after someone she thought was shoplifting. As I opened the front door and took one step in, this old Chinese woman came from out of nowhere and ran into the front of me. When I didn't move, she stared at me, and I said, "excuse me, I'm trying to enter the store." She had the other door to go through, but picked the door I had opened. She goes around me and I entered the store. At the checkout, I have one item, she takes it away from me and says to me in broken English, "I no sell to you, you leave." I asked what did I do, was this because of the incident at the front door? She crossed her arms across the front of herself and turned her back to me. I left the store and I'm writing this review on this business. This market has a lot of bad reviews on Facebook page, Quartzite Chatter. Buyer beware. read more

The store itself was super awesome but the woman (cash register 2, very mentally slow blonde woman) literally refused us service by ignoring us and turning away when we tried to purchase. Felt really bad for the green haired person on cash register 1, who was clearly carrying the team and kicking ass. One star due to this mentally challenged woman on register 2. read more

We needed two one gallon gas containers for our UTV, and were happy to find them at the Big Market, though pricey. When we went to fill them with gas, we found out that one of the containers didn't have a spout, which caused it to leak. We called to let them know, to see if they could hold a spout for us since we were far away at the moment and could pick up in the morning. The gentleman we spoke to was very nice, and remembered us, but when he asked his boss, the owner, he told him to put the only other container they had back on the shelf, and that if it got sold, before we came, they couldn't do anything! I couldn't believe his reaction, no apologies nor trying to make things right... I would never give him my business again... read more

Super nice guy working the register - I think he was the owner. We were driving back to LA from PHX and he offers a ton of liquor options, snacks and hardware supplies. Great place to stop during a road trip and it's important to support the local ma and pa shops!! read more

The Big Market has changed in a big way this year. If you haven't been in the store in a while you might not even recognize it. The store added shelving and they are stocked and operating as a full on hardware store. This is a very welcome necessity to help fill the void of the hardware store that closed last year in town. If you find yourself needing any type of hardware you should give them a try first before heading out of town. The added employees are also knowledgeable in helping you find what you need. They still sell liquor and alcohol at reasonable prices but have cut back on some of the food items. They have a pretty good selection of beer in the cooler and a large selection of hard liquor if you want something else. You should give them a try. You might be surprised by the change. I was! read more

See all

Should be called THE BIG MARKUP! Unbelievably outrageously high prices! $5.00 for a bottle of rubbing alcohol, $50.00 for sheet of 1/2 inch plywood! I will never give this ripoff shit hole another cent even if it means driving to Blyth! read more

Stopped here for some firewood, for our camping trip. The store had a lot basic needs and then some. Very convenient. read more

I purchased a can of Flex Seal at the BIG MARKET for $18.99. Trying to use it the next day found it to be one solid piece of rubber. I just wanted to exchange for a new one. The owner said no. If you buy anything from this store, be very very careful. I'm a Quartzsite resident and will drive 20 miles to Blythe Ca. before I step a foot in this store again. What a terrible business person. This was not the first time trying to return something here. read more

I bought 2 items at this Big Market, Liquid Nails adhesive and a toilet seat. I tried to return the toilet seat, because I realized I needed 7.5" hole distance to attach to my RV toilet seat. I cut the wrapper at one end and slid the product out of the package. After realizing this was the wrong size, I rewrapped the toilet seat and took it back to the store within 30 minutes. There was no damage to the product and all parts were included. I also had my receipt. There were no signs posted that all sales were final. I approached the Asian checker at the checkout to inquire about a refund, where he immediately raised his voice asking when I bought the item. I explained about 30 minutes ago. He then raised his voice again saying the package was opened, and "take it and leave"!! I've worked in a customer service occupation for 44 years. This person was the ultimate worse customer service encounter I have ever had to deal with. Needless to say, that I won't be back! read more

First I wouldn't call this a market. To me market implies isles of food. Not here. A ton of booze and I think most every beer I've ever seen. Almost no food. What little they did have was WAY over priced. read more

I didn't ask for my money back just a exchange for a defective item, that could have killed my mechanic and I because it was freon. That lady would not do it plus left the rest of the defective cans back there that were pointed out to her.. You lost a long time customer over 19.99 over priced can . Ill never go there again. read more

I was traveling and stumbled upon this market. They have so many alcohol options ranging from beer to hard liquor! I've never seen such a wide selection of of alcohol in my life. There's a fridge on the right side of the market for anyone craving for a cold drink on a hot day. They have ICE there too which is a major plus! Left side of the market is the hardware section. I don't know what people are complaining about as the owners and workers there are amazing! They were extremely helpful. The young, tall gentleman who I think is the owner is super handsome too! Too bad I don't live in AZ or I would've taken him home with me. read more

Your moonshine is horrible, poured it out. Try getting something good like Sugarland Moonshine. Best hands down, awards, and on discovery channel. Your sales with boom, especially with people who travel and know. Sugarland is in Gatlinburg, TN read more

Employees were nice enough but quite honestly if we want anything other than really old munchies, gun supplies, or caulk I'd go elsewhere. I really have a hard time to with a store or town for that matter where clearly I asked the owner for help and he referred to his employee as his "slave" aloud in the store. Given the owners age I let it slide, but considering there was a Quartzite Police Officer in the store and customers with no masks and nothing said about owners comments or no masks by a Police Officer, this is a "good ol Boys" town and outsiders are tolerated at best. I kept my mouth shut and moved on. Weird correlation between ignorance and covid numbers in AZ??????? read more

The store is dirty and often smells. If buying food, make sure to check the date as many items are expired. We bought parmesan cheese without checking the date and it was rancid. Went back to the store to check the others and the exp. dates had been scratched off. Class act. read more

$2 fee to use a debit card. Checker went out of his way to watch me enter my pin. Not shopping there again.
