Lack of training in a key essential area of a hardware store. Waited an hour for paint that wasnt close to what i requested. And still had to pay for full.

On the…read moreother, I brought in my 100 year-old floor lamp for rewiring and they "lost it" for about a year. I returned several times, but it remained lost; finally, after carefully describing it to a bright young man, he went up to the attic and FOUND my lamp! They'd put someone else's name on it; had it not been for MY perseverance and HIS listening skills, I still would not now have that beautiful 19th century floor lamp in my living room!

This has been my go-to hardware store for about a quarter of a century. They have a knowledgeable…read morestaff, and they carry every widget known ro man. They have creaky wooden floors and a pressed tin cieling, as a real hardware store should. Prices aren't very much lower or higher than the 'big box' stores but the staff knows what they're doing, so i'm happy to pay a few bucks extra. They have fixed chain saw which i though were beyond repair, and special ordered parts i couldn't even find on the internet. What's not to like?

Average Home Depot. I ordered to pick up but discovered that I needed to access Wi-Fi to get the…read moreemail. The issue in this location is there's absolutely no service. So at least do a screenshot if you're doing a pick up order ahead of time. Good rates and of course tax-free New Hampshire.

Very well stocked home improvement store, I found it well organized and laid out. Each Home Depot…read morehas roughly similar layout but it's the "roughly similar" that can throw a customer for a loop. Having said that, it suffers from the perennial Home Depot staff indifferent customer attitude. I had a question on kitchen garbage disposers. There were eight employees near the appliance section, staff chatting away and totally ignoring customers. Seriously.... On the other hand, the cashiers were absolutely helpful Good visit but Home Depot needs to emphasize customer service training. Sadly, that seems to be corporate-wide.

I go to HF about once per week and "invest" in their inside track program each year. I was…read moreinterested in buying a cultivator. It was on sale, and listed as being "in stock" (not only one or two left) one hour before I arrived. It takes me about 45 minutes to get there. When I arrived, they were out of stock - - having only the display model. Manager was kind of crappy about it -- saying that "Corporate" controls inventory reporting, that I should call first to see if the item is in stock. Short message is that I missed out on the sale, didn't get the product I wanted or any price protection, and the employees were snotty about it. Bought what I needed at Tractor Supply and HF will miss out on a good customer for awhile.

I was very excited when Harbor Freight opened in Keene. I visited often and was always pleased…read moreuntil my last visit about a week ago. I stopped in looking for something specific and while I was wandering the store I was met by several shoppers not wearing masks in the store. It is clearly posted on the door to the store. The employee was at the cash register and as these people passed him nothing was said. I left the store without purchasing anything and am not sure I will return anytime soon. There is a State mandate to wear a mask in public, wish people would be respectful of others.

I normally purchase all of my lumber and paint from Hamshaw lumber, and have for over 25 years. I…read morewent in today to purchase an empty paint can, to transfer some paint into a clean container. They had 1 paint can on the shelf, but no lid. The price marked on the shelf was $5.99. i picked up a cheap plastic lid hoping she would at least give me a discount or find me a lid so i did not have to buy one, that was supposed to come with the pail. Nope, the empty paint can rang up at 6.99 and she rang up the cover at 2.59 for a total of $9.58 for an empty paint can. I told her to keep it and i would go to Home Depot to get it. IHome Depot price was 6.99 and it came with a cover. I think Hamshaws need to empower their employees, the ability to work with the customer, if there is an issue, like i experienced. I am sure (maybe not)Hamshaws would rather have me leave as a happy customer and not a disgruntled one

I've been to a lot of hardware stores and my local Ace stores are nowhere near what this Ace…read more/Hamshaws store is: by far, 1) size: this store is a decent square footage. I prefer to go to smaller stores than the big box superstores when I can to support local smaller business and to get things more quickly- this size has plenty to offer but it's faster than walking through a mega store to get a few screws or a new tool. 2) selection: hands down, this store has far more in stock than all other Aces and local smaller stores when it comes to power tools/ power tool option models from Dewalt, Makita, craftsman, black and decker and Bosch- among others. Decent selection of most things you could ever need for your projects and household stuff. Any time I've ordered online the order is there and ready. Recommended.

No prices on sample upholstery books, an order has to be written up to get this information and often shocking when you do. Insane.

showed up to exchange my 20cf argon tank for a larger size- i have an account with them for 3 years…read morenow. it's the ONLY account I've ever had with any gas supplier- they are the inly gas supplier in the area. i bought my tig welder 3 years ago, and at the same time i got a 20cf bottle of argon that THEY gave me (along with oxy / ace and co2 / arg mix for mig)... the guy around back gives me a hard time about how it isn't their tank- the tank apparently belongs to praxair. i tell him it's the tank THEY gave me years ago along with the other tanks. he says no- i repeat, yes. airgas is the ONLY gas supply chain I've ever used! there's no praxair even in the state or within a 60 mile radius! This guy is still going to argue with me that it's not their tank!!! then he says it's illegal for him to even take it because the sticker on it is scratched up. i explained to him It's in the exact same condition it is when I got it; The tank went from the backseat of my truck, then home and strapped to my welding cart in my garage, and sat there for years untouched. Unbelievable! The only reason why I'm giving them two stars instead of 1 is because the other front end guy (bald) came out and took care of business, and did it in a friendly manner. Either they messed up and gave me someone else's returned bottle years ago or this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I've only ever had one account with Airgas, and only bought gas from Airgas. If I have someone else's bottle, it's because they gave it to me. Simple as that!
