    Karl's Hardware - PACKOUT TOOL BOXES

    Karl's Hardware

    I was on standby to begin an underground electrical project because I didn't yet have the…read moreassortment of components needed. For an hour or so I had searched online sites for several of those components to no avail. I called Karl's Hardware without great hope (thinking, "How would a smaller, local store compete with the bigs regarding product availability."), and boy was I wrong. They had nearly everything per my "wish list" and beyond that offered better variety (e.g., in lengths of electrical wiring) than the big stores. Even still, while I was indeed amazed with the inventory, that wasn't the best part. It was Aubern that took my initial call and met me in person as I arrived. She very proactively found almost everything with a problem-solving-can-do spirit. She located items quickly, coordinated with other staff to confirm specs, found alternatives for the rare item or two that wasn't in stock, and helped me find my most cost-effective bundle of parts when all was said & done. Karl's is a truly excellent hardware store with great staff and selection!

    I want to like these guys, however... I reserved a small…read moretractor two weeks in advance. When the day came for them to deliver they informed me my rental wasn't available. They offered to upgrade me to a larger unit that was missing some functionality. I agreed. I had to call for pickup early to avoid additional service charges when a tire came off the rim. It was apparently under inflated. There were indications that the setup was rushed when they couldn't deliver the tractor I reserved, turns out that the box scraper was apparently installed improperly and didn't work well. I paid for a whole week but only had it for 5 days due to no fault of my own.

    The Arvin Store - Gardening supplies

    The Arvin Store

    The Arvin Store is like an old fashioned small town variety or general store. It sells a little…read morebit of everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. There is a large section containing items a hardware store would sell like tools, gadgets, nuts and bolts, spray paint, you name it they probably have it crowded onto a shelf or hung on every available inch of wall space. Or maybe you need to do some plumbing repairs? There's a whole aisle of plumbing supplies, too. Now, this place is not fancy, but it's functional. I don't know how the owner does it, but he manages to cram more stuff into this store than one would think possible. This is a good thing in that he carries the same amount of product that a store three or four times the size would normally sell. Just don't be expecting fancy product or marketing displays. Looking for gardening supplies (hoses, fertilizer)? He's got you covered. Brooms, mops, rakes, shovels, good quality full size tools? Yep, there's a whole aisle of those, too. Pet food and supplies? You bet. Are you trying to set up a stereo, television, DVD player, or home entertainment center? There's a whole section of electronic connectors, doodads, coaxial cables, everything you need to finish the project (or talk your more tech-friendly kids into doing it). Do you need some toys to entertain your kids? A bicycle helmet to keep them safe and secure? Maybe you've run out of vacuum cleaner bags, your bike tire has a flat, and you just don't want to drive all the way into Bakersfield to find a replacement? This shop has got you covered. How about personal grooming products like soap, toothbrushes, shampoo, or conditioner? Do you need cleaning products for your house? Maybe kitchen gadgets of all kinds? Can we interest you in shoelaces in every color of the rainbow? Are you getting the idea yet that this place carries it all? And if you're hungry, they've got a little soda fountain, a cooler full of drinks, hot coffee, and a variety of snack foods. Here's the best part. They open every day at 4:00 am. Did you hear that? 4:00 am!!! Arvin is a small community outside Bakersfield surrounded by farms and filled with the people who work there. Farm workers start work very early, as would you if you were facing the prospect of working outside in the Bakersfield midday heat, and Abdul, the owner, goes out of his way to be open early in the morning to service these people. He knows the people who live in Arvin, what they need, and when they need it. My parents have lived in the Arvin area for over 20 years. They visit this little shop often. I came here with my mom, and when she introduced me to the owner, a very sweet man, as her daughter he told me that I have wonderful parents. I assured him that I was quite aware of that fact. Mom says that if there is anything he doesn't carry, that you can tell him and he will order it for you. Now THAT'S what I call SERVICE!

    Arvin store is great. They have lots of inventory and great customer service. If they don't have…read moresomething, they will order and stock it so that you can get it next time.
