Went to return a Sthil attachment to S&S Ace Hardware in Buford. The part was not what we needed…read morebut the salesman continued to procrastinate by trying to sell us other components but we just wanted to get a refund. We ordered the part on-line from a store in Pensacola FL and hoped any Ace/Sthil dealer would refund our purchase. After listening to his continuing sales pitch we again asked for a refund on the unused item in the original box and our receipt. He finally said "I'll have to ask my manager". He came back stating they would not take the item and it was "obsolete". We purchased the item 32 days ago! We called the store in Pensacola and were told there would be no issue in refunding the purchase. This is the true statement of "No customer service, service. This store in Buford has changed based on our years of shopping this location and this salesman was very Kurt.! Just plain rude!!

However, upon being connected to customer service, I was simply asked to "hold on." Then as I sit there waiting for MORE THAN HALF A HOUR, something came up that required my attention for less than 3 minutes. Which, unfortunately is when the people finally answered. So instead of giving me a few minutes after hearing me say "give me like 30 seconds", they just immediately hung up on me. Way to go, Lowes.

I I knew right there. He was going to be a problem... and from that moment on he attitude towards me was totally condescending and so unprofessional!!

I dropped my Ridgid model mobile air tri-stack, 5 gallon, compressor off at Northern Tool at 4125…read moreBuford Drive in Buford, GA on April 9th for repair. (Original cost to purchase was around $500). I have the existing tool check card (number 0102) as well as the Parts, Service, & Repair form which I signed on April 9, 2024. I have the cash register receipt showing that I purchased a tarp and paid $60 for labor in advance of the repair. The customer copy of the receipt is SKU number 155400110024008732 for a total charge of $81.19. I followed up numerous times with the location asking if/when the repair process would be completed. The response was always that the repair was not done and they would contact me when the repair was completed so I could pick up the compressor. I always had to go to the location to inquire about the status, three times. I never-ever received a follow up call from anyone at Northern Tool. Often I left a message, with a promise that they would return my call, and I never got a response. My frustration finally got to me and I drove to Buford to ask in person about my repair. To my shock and surprise the Manager (I believe the name is Jeff) told me that I had picked the item up on April 1st!! I didn't even drop it off for repair until April 9th! I ask for them to show me the signed release and payment for the repair form which they said they were unable to produce. The Northern Tool contact (Holly) I have to thank for never calling me and understanding why would I come back to get my compresser if I had picked it up....SAD! I would not recommend Northern Tool to anyone.

They are handling the covid situation as best they can and they have a great selection. May they be successful and always in the black.

I went to this store, in order to buy a piece of Mahogany that I need for a project…read more While I was there, the store was overwhelming staffed and patroned by older men who I found to be rude. The lumber section of the store is in a back corner, and isn't a very large area. While I was selecting my piece of wood, several men would just walk walk in front and around me, without saying excuse me nor being verbal at all. It was like I wasn't even there, to them. So as to not get touched or knocked over, I had to move away from the lumber twice, even though I wasn't finished making my selection, just so I wouldn't be "in the way." When I went to check out, I was standing in line, and the cashier, Don, called the gentleman who was behind me up to the register to check out. That gentleman let the cashier know that I was ahead of him and it was my turn to check out. I had actually been standing in line for a while before the customer behind me even got in line. Don then called me up- he offered no apology. As he checked me out, Don didn't ask if I had found everything ok. Didn't ask if I needed anything else. Generally unfriendly. I just generally noticed a certain theme in this store, and I don't like the vibe. Maybe some diversity, in gender and/or race, would help offset that vibe. I'm not sure, and don't really care because me nor my dollars will be returning.
