You will probably need help from the clerks in finding it, as the aisles are overstocked. In that sense, it feels like an old-skool hardware store, much different than shopping at a home depot. However, be warned, these guys don't care what you're building and their recommendations are half-hearted. . . . they just want to go back to their prior conversations and bullsh*tting: A rush to get you out of here, so old-timers looking to make smalltalk may be disappointed in way of the "experience" of buying things.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself.. mankind. Basically, it's…read moremade up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind. Stocked to the brim with supplies and open early, AAH is run by some knowledgeable guys and conveniently located right off the LIE on Motor Parkway next to Moore's deli (couldn't agree more w/ Elitia here). What it really comes down to with a 4-star review is that I couldn't imagine something a neophyte like I would need for a DIY project around the house NOT being available here, and at a reasonable price.

He set me up with everything I needed to take care of the plumbing issue we were having, with Dan's help my husband was able to fix the problem within ten minutes, I can't say enough about Ace Hardware in Smithtown, but I can surely say Dan is the Man for all your hardware needs.

I used to think this place was the best and if you wander around the store the sheer diversity of…read moreproducts is outstanding. BUT, twice now I have spoken to the guy behind the "Customer Help" desk and have been extremely disappointed in his attitude, willingness to help, arrogance and appearance that his hated his job and didn't want to be there. His face even turned RED as I was asking my question. What is it that differentiates this place from Lowes/Home Depot? It's SERVICE!!!! If there is NO difference why should I go there especially if they have a bad attitude! The miserable guy should stay away from the public. I left the store that day saying well that's the last time I'll come here!

Prices are beyond outrageous, the staff has absolutely zero knowledge of their products (which are very poor quality these days - and the store does not stand by their products), and no proper understanding of service, not to mention a lazy, very unpleasant attitude, and no regard for longtime loyal customers who now are former customers. Take your business to Home Depot or literally anywhere else, if your money and your self respect matter at all to you. I certainly won't be back, after all these years.

I was anxious about getting the grill and called the store 3 different times to check on the order. I indicated that it should be fully assembled and delivered to the freight ferry (there are no cars/vehicles where I live for the summer). I called on Friday to check and it was there but in the warehouse. I called shin on Monday to check on it again to make sure it was being assembled and was told it would be finished and delivered to freight ferry yet Monday or Tuesday. I called on Tuesday late in day because I hadn't gotten notice from the freight office that it was being delivered. I was told it was all ready to go Today, Wednesday I got notification from the freight office that I was receiving a box. I called the store to find out what was going on and they told me that I didn't ask to have it assembled! I did on the order form and in each of the phone calls I made. While the persons I have talked to have always been polite, a grill in a box is NOT WHAT I ORDERED. And, why I gad to wait three days before I was shipped the box is still a mystery!! They offered no remedy to fix the issue. It was just My Problem! I will be doing no further business with Costello's Ave Hardware EVER! And you should consider looking for another place to take your business too!
