I went in just to make copies of keys, because they're honestly the best place in town for that. The gentleman who helped me was really helpful, personable, and easy to talk to. Quick, easy, and done right. Of course, I never leave with just keys. This Ace always gets me. The pies are amazing, the candy stash is dangerous, and the gardening gloves deserve a shoutout. The value and selection are worth it. They have the best glove variety, especially if you have smaller hands, which is not easy to find. I always grab the cinnamon bears, and somehow they instantly stick to my hips the minute I walk out the door. Worth it every time. I also love their rewards program. The discounts add up, and it's always a nice little surprise at checkout. And yes, I love their wall of shame. It cracks me up every time. If you steal from them, you might end up on the wall. Simple solution: don't steal. It's not okay, and I respect a local business that looks out for itself and its employees. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, the store is packed with useful and fun finds, and it still feels like a true neighborhood hardware store. Young's Lodi Ace is one of my favorite places to shop, and I'll keep coming back.

Complaint against Ace Hardware in Lodi, not honoring DeWalt's "30 day return policy…read more I purchased the DeWalt Yard Kit, which included a weed eater, blower, and hedge trimmer on Sunday, March 22, at 3:22 pm. Nick help us and he pointed to the De Walt items that were included in the kit. We said OK. Nick handed us the Hedge trimmer from the glass case without a box, instructions, and walked us to the register to order the other two items since they were not in the store and needed to be ordered. He then told us we could take the hedge trimmer and they would call us Tuesday 3/24. My friend picked them up Tuesday and after using the equipment to check out how they worked, he called me and said that we were going to return them because they would not cut nor did it have sufficient power, and he told me that De Walt items were not the ones shown to us when purchased. Wednesday morning about 7:30 am I tried to return the DeWalt yard kit. I walked in with the equipment, box, and receipt. The gal, which, I did not get her name, stated that she'd have to call the manager Tanner, to inform him that I was seeking a refund. Tanner, whom that morning was working in the Lockeford Ace Hardware store. She let him know that it was not packed up in the original box and she stated to him that it looked used. I told her we had pick it up on Tuesday and we tested the equipment. She then told me that Tanner specifically said that she could not accept the items for return because they had to be back in the original packaging. I said OK and left to repack the items into the box, all but the hedge trimmer which they gave to us without a box. She also stated that the return was going to need the manager's approval. Then she offered me dates when the manager would be back in Lodi, I said no, I will go to the Lockeford Ace store with the understanding that he was there working for the day. I left to repack the items back into the original box. When finished packing up the equipment I drove out to the Lockeford Ace store and spoke to Rindy. She left saying she would get the manager Tanner. She came back saying he was on vacation, and that he had already received a call from the Lodi Store. I said yes, and we packaged it up as he stated and drove here to speak to him. Rindy said he was now on vacation and he'd be back Monday at the Lodi store. I stated he was supposed to be here working that is why I am here with the packaged-up yard kit. She looked at my receipt and said that oh the hedge trimmer came out of the glass case with no box then it is all on the Lodi Store to take back for return. My Friend called to see how the return went. I explained to him that they did not return it for refund. They would not accept it because it was not in the original box. My Friend told me to send him a picture of the receipt, that he'd try to get the refund. My friend addressed Nick point blank, why did you not tell us that this was not a refundable item, Nick replied with "you did not ask me". They still would not refund me back my money telling me now. "it is not in resellable condition". Do not spend your hard-earned money at Ace hardware in Lodi! They do not guarantee their merchandise, not even with your receipt!

Found something in their sales flier I couldn't live without for a good price. Just received my CC statement and I was charged the regular price, not the sales price. I called the store and was told I should have said something while there! Really? I should not have been over charged! Asked to speak to the manager, after quite some time I get a female that states she is the manager and what is the problem, with an attitude. I tell her what happened and told the same thing. Nothing I can do about it, you should have said something while here! WOW! The fast friendly service while there quickly disappeared with the phone call. Very sad they put someone like this in charge. Have been the the grocery store next door many times, owned by the same people, everyone there is super friendly and helpful.

Walking through the store actually made me feel motivated to start new projects at home. The plant section was my favorite part, and the surprise kitty therapy out in the garden area totally made my day. It's such a relaxing place to just look around and get ideas. I was also helped right away by a gentleman named Jared, who was friendly and helpful without being pushy. Great customer service makes such a difference. I definitely went in for a few things and walked out spending way more than planned, definitely worth it's value and in a good way. I left feeling inspired and ready to get things done at home. I'll be back.

However the employee who was helping me went above and beyond! It took some time and calling multiple people, but eventually she was able to help me after speaking to a supervisor on the phone who had gone home for the day. They figured out they needed to use a different computer for the exchange and they put it on a giftcard so I could repurchase the item I wanted to exchange it for. It was the same item but in a different color. I did not know that the Lowe's return and exchange policy was so complicated! Make sure to read up on their policy if you're making a purchase you are unsure about. This was my first experience doing so, and despite the wait, I really appreciated how the employee was so committed to helping me that she went above and beyond to get it figured out. I had a great experience! While waiting, the employees were also very fun and nice to talk to, which made my experience very pleasant. I liked their dynamic a lot. Lowe's seems to have a great team of employees and seems like a fun place to work at! I would absolutely go back to this location and recommend it to others.
