I went in for a fishing license and sat behind someone at the window for almost 15 minuets. I…read morepatiently waited for them to finish about "people who have died and what they bought at the store that day". Once I was finally recognized, she informed me it'd be $48 for a fishing license, which I only had $43. She suggested I buy something from the store and get $5 cash back, then I'd be able to buy the fishing license. I thought, that's a great idea, I'll go buy something small and this will all get taken care of. I found something small to buy and would give me some cash back. I go to pay for it, tell the cashier that I need cash back, then he runs my card as credit. I say "actually I need that run as debit, I need cash back remember?" he replies, "oh, well, your card isnt setup as debit" I say, " you mean the one I have in my hand that says DEBIT on the front?" his answer: "Yes. That card isnt set up to be run as debit" I ask "so what can be done now?" to which he says back, "have a great day, oh and you can get the fishing licenses online" I'd rather be kicked in the head by a mule than go back to that store. I'd rather drive my rusty ol' pick up truck into a Crisco factory at full speed and die in a grease fire, than go back to Harrows Home Center. If it were up to me, if I were given an option, I'd drive my boat into the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, drill a hold in the hull and sink to the bottom while cursing the ground that Harrows built on. They say time is a great healer, I say I cannot look forward enough to the day that Harrows is closed.

A letter I sent to corporate and Elvin Bruce at kilmarnock store. Cannot attach picture to this…read morereview I would like to share an experience I had today involving the Ace Hardware store in Warsaw, Virginia, and management at the Kilmarnock, VA location. Earlier today, I purchased a gallon of Benjamin Moore paint from the Warsaw store. When I arrived home and began to get out of my Jeep, I lifted the paint by the handle and the handle unexpectedly failed. The can fell onto the driver's side floorboard and burst open. Paint spilled across my carpet and kick panel, and while rushing to clean it up, I unknowingly transferred paint onto the seat and door panel as well. I immediately grabbed water and a shop vac and spent several hours cleaning the interior of my vehicle. While cleaning the mess, I called the Warsaw store to explain what had happened. I was told I would receive a call back, but after waiting, I decided to drive to the store and speak with the manager in person. When I arrived, I spoke with the manager on duty. I was extremely surprised to be told that the store manager at the Kilmarnock location, Elvin Bruce, had stated they would not replace the gallon of paint because the store is not responsible once merchandise leaves the premises. I asked for his phone number so I could speak with him directly while I was there, but I was told the only way to reach him was by email. I did not accept that response and asked to speak with another manager. I then spoke with Debra at the Kilmarnock store, explained the situation, and she immediately said they would replace the gallon of paint, which they ultimately did. She Authorized the Warsaw Store to give me another gallon Here is the issue: I did not ask for reimbursement for the mess in my vehicle. I did not ask for compensation for my time spent cleaning it up. I simply asked for the gallon of paint to be replaced due to a handle failure transporting it from Jeep to My house. The paint never left my vehicle, and this incident had nothing to do with how the paint was mixed or the lid secured. The handle failed -- that is what caused the problem. For a store manager to refuse responsibility and hide behind email rather than speak directly with a customer is, in my opinion, a very poor way of conducting business. When the Warsaw store opened a few years ago, our community was excited to have a local hardware store, as we are a considerable distance from larger retailers. I have supported this store since it opened. However, based on this experience -- specifically the response from management -- I will no longer be shopping there and will be sharing my experience with others in the neighborhood. This is sad because I liked that store, the people were always good to us, even today Warsaw wanted to help but was told NOT to by Elvin Bruce from the Kilmarnock Store. I cannot continue to shop at that store knowing that when something happens someone from another store an hour away makes the decision then hides behind his computer I will attempt to attach photos documenting the damage. This situation could have been handled professionally from the start. Instead, it became an unnecessary example of poor management and customer service. After reading your reply back to me I must say this, first of all you make it sound as though out of courtesy you gave me a gallon back! That's not how it was. The store was very adamant based on Elvin Bruces decision to NOT REFUND the gallon until I demanded to speak to someone before leaving the Warsaw Store. How can you evaluate things hiding behind a computer? A real manager/Owner would have spoken to the individual on the phone as they were at one of the stores. What you are telling myself and others that read this is..... when you purchase from any of HornAce stores you are saying buyer beware!!! purchase an electrical device and it doesn't work.... purchase a bolt and the threads are cut wrong......purchase something that you have to assemble and its missing pieces....etc. " Once you leave the premises it's the buyers problem". No thank you. Home Depot, Lowes, heck even McDonalds would treat their customers better then ACE did . I have no reason to call you to speak about this problem, yea you make it look like you like you're helping out but you failed, you dropped the ball and you just need to say. We are sorry we messed up and should have done a better job of taking care of our customers. BOTTOM LINE. Read the reply to me on their store page kilmarnock Va Sincerely, Glenn Beasley
