The customer service here is the best and even though it's part of a chain, it has that local feel because of the workers! I recently had an item that I didn't have the receipt anymore for and they were able to look it up and print out a new one so I could make the return, and they did so with such a happy demeanor. Definitely recommend this location. It's easy to navigate and find what you need!

Has been my go to store for 30 years, but during 3-4 visits over the past several months I have…read morebeen disappointed with the level of service and the hardware knowledge of the employees. I'm guessing it's due to the sad state of the labor market and wages. Today I needed some 15, 20, and 30 amp buss fuses. Since they move stuff around constantly, I asked the two cashiers in the front of the store where I could find electrical buss fuses. They didn't know what a buss fuse was, so I asked where their electrical supply section was. The directed me to the section where I was met by an employee. She asked what I was looking for and I told her buss fuses for an old pre-breaker fuse box. She didn't know what a buss fuse was. I explained what they were and what they looked like and she kept pulling joint fittings for electrical conduit pipe out of bins and asking me if they were what I was looking for. She finally told me if they weren't on the shelves of the isle we were looking for them, they didn't carry them. I told her I was going to look in other parts of the store and she left. I walked around the other side of the isle to a lighting section and found a large selection of all kinds of buss fuses. All employees in the store were kind and friendly. That was not the problem. The problem was none of them seemed to have any knowledge of inventory in the store, much less where specific items were located. To the store management: You are a speciality hardware store. You have items that can't be purchased at the big box home improvement stores. Please employ persons who have a knowledge of such items, or train the employees you hire who don't have knowledge.

Manards is a very interesting place among hardware stores. It's seems to have a unique atmosphere…read morethat sets it apart from Lowes and Home Depot. It has to be the only hardware store with mechanical turnstiles. The Bass Pro Shop next door has them too.... and I have no idea why. Aside from the atmosphere, the other thing that makes it interesting is, it's the only place I know of where you can buy drywall, macaroni and cheese, and a spa all in the same building. Seriously.... I can see selling chips, candy, other "snack" foods and various kinds of drinks, but that would be it for me. Some of the checkout lanes for large items are a little odd. They will confuse most people if they never seen them before. The casher actually stands on the same side of the lane as the customer. This makes it easier for them to deal the drywall/lumber and other big stuff. And for all my IT people out there reading this, I noticed that their cash drawers/computers are running Unix or some kind of a Unix emulator. I use Unix where I work and it can sometimes be pain on the IT side if you're not fluent with the command line.

Placed custom order for front door with sidelight. Month later a delivery guy in a box truck is…read moregoing to attempt to move this huge box crate that happens to be broken, to a 2 foot depth lowering platorm. No dolly...anyone could see it was going to end in disaster, he agreed. So he said he would reschedule with help. Home depot called me, said they would uncrate and redeliver. Next day, same guy comes with 2 other guys. One guy sat in cab of truck, offering no help. Teo guys carried door off truck and my trim which was wrapped separately. Trim is scratched up, hickory brown color scratched off and also hole punched in it. Door itself, hickory brown color scratched off about foot from bottom right of door. I called Home depit, had pictures to send them...they agreed about replacing the trim but in regard to my $3000 door, they had to supposedly talk to vendor about any reimbursement. Then when I called back a week later, oh, waiting to hear back from manager. He said he sent his manager an email. I called back week later, oh, both are on vacation. Waited until back from vacation, no one called me. So I called again to speak w dept manager, John, he said he would talk to his manager and call me this past Saturday...no phone call. I even told him I felt like I was getting the run around...oh no, he wouldn't do that....hmmm. I didn't want to order a new door, it would take a couple months to get it. They are hoping the trim will cover it but still, 3 weeks later, going on4 wks, no new trim received....no follow up phones calls. This is the worst customer care I have ever dealt with and never thought Home Depot would be like this. Extremely disappointed, disgusted. $3000 for a door is a lit. Not to mention a week prior U had received another door, $1000, for our out garage entrance, foot threshold deep scratches. Hickory color that they attempted to cover up with a different brown colored paint, not matching....so bad. Bottom line, I suggedt not buying external doors from Home Depot in Columbia, MO
