Amazon store! Went here looking for only one item, but found it a really pleasant experience!…read more The atmosphere of the store was very pleasant, with a large layout and clean store. Very neat looking and easy access to all products. Additionally, they had complimentary coffee when you walked in, which was a nice treat. The staff was very friendly, and greeted me as soon as I walked in as well as directed me to my needs (any traps). Checkout was pleasant too. The selection of goods was large and had what I needed and more. Will be coming back for any hardware needs I have

I went to Rings End on a stormy morning looking for batteries for my car fobs. Maureen, the sales…read moreclerk retrieved them quickly. I asked if someone was available to replace the batteries as I had trouble opening the fobs. Without hesitation Maureen agreed to do that. It is not so easy and it took time.

My mother has been a loyal customer of Stewart's Ace Hardware in Clinton for over 7 years. She…read morerecently purchased a $900 Weber natural gas grill (Spirit S-425), believing it was fully stainless steel like her previous Genesis model. There was no floor model to inspect, and she trusted the store's description and history. When the grill arrived, it had only stainless trim, no wheels, and was clearly not the heavy-duty model she expected. She declined delivery politely and even offered to pay the price difference or use gift cards to upgrade to the better model. They refused. Instead of working with her, they issued a refund--and then left her a voicemail telling her never to shop there again. Their own voicemail admitted it was a "snafu" and they "don't normally sell natural gas grills," but punished her for not accepting a downgrade. This wasn't about being difficult. It was about being fair. After over 7 years of loyalty, this was their response. If this is how they treat long-time customers, I encourage others to think twice before shopping here.

I shop here often but no longer. I called the store and requested a gallon of mixed paint that I…read morewould pick up within the hour. The store can mix at their convenience and I avoid the long lines waiting for them to mix. I offered my credit card over the phone in advance. They said no that I had to come in, order and wait in line. Poor customer service! I do this often and other stores accommodate. This time I called Essex Hardware instead and they had no problem mixing ahead of pickup and said they didn't even need my CC in advance.

Over a piddly key they cut for me that wouldn't work they refused to give me a refund even though it was their mistake. Although I've done a good deal of business with them over the years they showed me they have no regard nor respect for their customers. Manager was extremely rude and disrespectful to me from the moment I walked in the door. Better off going to Lowe's, Home Depot or another online delivery service which eventually will force them to shutter up shop for good.
