    I stopped by around 5PM on a Saturday afternoon and was the only customer in the store. I needed…read moresome wire ring terminals for an electrical project I was working on. There were two employees in the store including one that I walked past while he was doing something at the front door. No "Hello" or "Can we help you find something." I wandered down the central aisle looking both ways at every side aisle until I found what I wanted. I took it to the counter and both guys were counting money. Again, no "hello" or "did you find what you were looking for." I don't think they actually said anything to me the whole time. Small hardware stores need excellent customer service to compete with big box stores and the internet. This one experience was disappointing.

    Throughout my life I have loved going to independent hardware stores. I enjoy the atmosphere; I…read moreenjoy browsing the aisles, and invariably I find things I didn't originally come for and am inspired to complete or start new projects. And, the employees are typically very friendly, very helpful, and very patient. Well, there is an exception to every rule and I found it at Phillips Hardware. I'd just moved to Delmar and had previously only gone to Lowes frequently as it is more convenient to my house. But, I went to Phillips wanting (and hoping for) good customer service and the ability to ask questions. I didn't get it. I needed some chain cut and some eye hooks for a ceiling rack I was hanging in my kitchen. The woman at the front counter was quite pleasant and called someone to help me -- perhaps the owner. A sullen uncommunicative man appeared and directed me to follow him. He seemed severely irritated to have to serve me and I was as polite as possible, treating him as if he was the customer. After cutting the chain, refusing to make eye contact he thrust the pieces at me. I asked where I might find eye hooks and, acting inconvenienced, he pointed to where they were; when I saw a small selection I asked if there might be others elsewhere and he snapped that that what was there was all that there were to be had. Clearly he doesn't like either serving customers or being asked questions. I immediately decided then I would refrain from further purchases at Phillips and after cashing out drove around Delmar to Glenmont to go to Lowes. There I actually did find very helpful sales personnel, and walked out with many purchases. What a severe disappointment Phillips proved to be; I actually prefer supporting independent businesses and will pay more for items in order to do so. I won't, however, put up with rudeness and bad customer service, which is why I will never return to Phillips. Btw, I found a wide array of eye hooks in Lowes, and they were among my purchases. I should have simply started there.

    Over a year later under new ownership and I am still coming back. Their prices might have seemed…read morehigher than the old Ace prices, but everywhere you look in this world things cost more and their prices are in line with the big box stores. Sometimes even lower. That really doesn't matter though, because the helpful service I receive here more than makes up for a few extra pennies. The staff are super friendly and have helped me with lots of projects along the way. I needed a weird part that wasn't available anywhere else and they found it for me in their storeroom and gifted it to me. I needed a certain type of paint on a holiday-eve and they spent the extra time going through their stash to find a suitable product. When the entire northeast region is out of salt and they have a shipment coming in, they were willing to make arrangements so that some was waiting for me when I showed up that evening. And when I need advice (and honestly, it seems to be always) they are a lot more reliable and useful than trying to randomly search Youtube. It is the smaller hardware stores that provide what most do it yourselfers (read: amateurs) really need: attention. Because of that, I will keep coming back to here.

    This is no longer Shaker Hardware! There is apparently new ownership, and the name is changed to…read moreChance's Hardware. I normally would not be in a hurry to write about a hardware store that is not near my house. How often would I likely be to visit it again? But this store caught my attention when I saw an ad for them on TV. They claimed that they have items not found in other stores. They also emphasized that they offer friendly and readily available service. Today, in search of a particular style cabinet knob, after nothing met my wife's satisfaction in Lowe's, Home Depot, and several other stores, we tried Chance's on our way through Latham. The first thing we noticed was a friendly greeting from an employee helping another customer in the parking lot. Walking through the store we saw everything very well organized and nicely displayed in a clean environment. Once we found what we were in search of, we met that same welcoming employee (owner?) from the parking lot on our way to the register. He was truly friendly and made the shopping experience a pleasure. The item we purchased could have been ordered for less from Lowe's, but it was not available today and we've never received such a sincere welcome in any big-box store. There is definitely truth in advertising from Chance's Hardware store.

    I have been coming here off and on ever since I moved to Albany in 2004. After living in Menands…read morefor a couple of years, I moved to Clifton Park and forgot about this place until I moved back last summer. Some things haven't changed... their staff is still extremely friendly and knowledgeable, their prices are about the same as the big box stores, their selection is much less than big box stores (but usually that just means they carry only quality name-brand items and don't have cheaper junk stuff), and the hours are more in line with a mom and pop store. I needed some items and decided that I would try and get here on the way home from work before they closed at 6PM. I made it in time, they helped me select exactly what I needed, and I left happy. If you need 20+ items for a big construction project, lots of lumber, or various types of custom colored paint this might not be the right store. But, if you know you are up against a project you aren't familiar with and want to talk it over with someone before buying the right stuff this is a great place to come.

    Don't waste your time going here if your looking for Lawn Mower repair via an authorized dealer…read more Bob is a miserable person who clearly doesn't like women. He made it clear he doesn't want to do the repair work that he's supposed to do when it's under warranty. The next day after dropping off the mower he called and stated there was no oil in the engine and I probably seized the engine. That is not true the mower was brand new and used only last year. The mower was stored in the basement and the gas emptied out. When I took out this year it wouldn't start. So how did the engine seize. STEER CLEAR OF THIS SEXIST MISERABLE PERSON.
