I don't recommend that you waste your time.

Downtown Lumber does it all! I'm not so handy when it comes to home repair, renovations or DIY. So,…read moreI'm constantly looking for the plumber or electrician who isn't going to rip you off and isn't going to take 3 trips on your dime to fix minor things. I found Downtown lumber as a dealer of some top of the line bathroom fixtures. With all the condo's going in downtown, this is your place for one-stop shopping! Tino was able to organize all the materials we needed, giving us prices and making sure we thought of everything. John is the guy who makes sure the plumber comes in after the electrician has set up his work. The process took a lot longer than expected- something any reno is likely to run into. Some of the delays were our fault, occasionally we felt they could have come a bit sooner. We would highly recommend them to anyone for small or big jobs.

While discussing with my partner how many keys we needed. a very rude skinny man with a baseball cap on basically told me to shut up as "he" could only talk with one person at a time. I had to bite my tongue as I wanted to call him out on his rudeness. He took the keys and seemed to be having a hard time creating duplicates for us. Finally he gave us our keys, we paid and left. On getting home, four of the six keys were not cut properly and did not work in their locks. I called the store and guess who answered? Yep, this rude individual who now started interrupting me; Not letting me speak. "Just bring them back. I don't need to hear what your saying. I might not be here anyway". Needless to say I will not be returning to this store ever again.

Three days ago I visited the Home Hardware website and found the item I needed (a type of vacuum…read morefilter), but the website doesn't allow online purchasing and doesn't show me which location carries any of the items listed. I opted to visit the nearest location to me, and when I arrived a man took me to the area where they carried different types of filters. When I mentioned I needed the specific filter I'd found on their site, he simply said "You can't expect us to carry everything our website lists!" Fair enough, I thought, but how do I get the item then? I wanted to support this little local Canadian company over the big American guys, so I asked how I'd find the item; could we see if they carried it elsewhere? "No" he said, "We don't carry it. I don't know what to tell you." I left the store. I was frustrated certainly. This system seemed terribly flawed, and with each Home Hardware branch being independently owned, there seems no central governing body to ensure this type of glib service doesn't occur. Today I went back to that same store. I didn't want to give up hope on my locally owned Home Hardware store. After all, as far as I knew it was only the one bad seed! :) When I arrived at the store, the gentleman assisting me was initially somewhat helpful. He took me through the types of paint I was looking for and helped me pick out the right one. As he was mixing the colour I selected I told him about my visit 3 days earlier. He seemed totally uninterested. He said nothing at all initially. I told him I wanted to support the store but that the central online system seemed flawed. He replied, "Nothing I say will make a difference" and grabbed my things, walking past me to the front counter. He was brisk; wanted to simply get rid of me I suppose. I asked his name, and he told me "Marty." He then said he was the owner. I nearly fell over. I asked, "Shouldn't you take more of a vested interest in this?" Perhaps I caught him on the wrong day, because he actually began yelling: "What the F do you want me to do lady? What the F are you expecting?" I nearly fell over. As he continued to scream, I stepped backwards toward the exit. I began walking away from the store, a bit shaken. Moments later Marty was chasing me down the street! Amidst neighboring retailers and shoppers, he was screaming "F-U Bitch!" again and again. He continued to chase me until I threatened to call for help, and only then did he return to his store, angry that I didn't purchase the can of paint despite his temper tantrum. (Marty should've waited until after my purchase to lose his marbles.) The really sad addition to this story is that the young gent behind the counter didn't even seem shocked. As the owner screamed, the young man simply processed the small can of paint as if nothing was happening around him. I called head office, but as I suspected, since the locations are privately owned there is no one to govern the behavior or set a standard for how each retailer operates. Marty can do whatever he wants, and I apparently have to accept being yelled at and chased down the block.

Here was what I was thinking: I wanted a Weber. Within a few minutes, they walked me through the different Weber grills, explained the advantages of the different types, and we decided that I didn't need the most expensive one. In fact, I could save a few hundred dollars by buying a much cheaper version. And, so I did. I asked how much it would cost to ship it, and how much it would cost to have it assembled. They told me that they did it all for free. Checking a few competitor prices to see if they just folded those costs into the price of the BBQ I was astonished to discover that, no, they did not! This was a free assembly and delivery. That right there is a two hundred dollar value, at the best of times! So now, a few weeks later, I'm BBQing chickens like a king, looking forward to tasty treats all summer long, and I know exactly where I'll go when I need anything else in the future!

Recently, I was in Canadian Tired and was appalled by the lack of customer service and aggressive behaviour of staff over leaving my bags at the door. So "no thank you" to corporate hardware services, hello local retailers! This was a tiny place packed with all sorts of items. The staff was interested in helping me find a solution to my problem I was seeking to repair. I watched as they had a rapport with other local businesses and took careful time to discuss how to handle a 'rodent problem' with a neighbour. You only build that kind of trust and rapport by treating people kindly and with care. Discussing the various options including poison was an overheard conversation, but it was telling to me. Customer service is the bread and butter of the retail industry and a good measure of the trustfulness that one can have with a business owner who is attentive and caring. I'm definitely coming back with my business to this store, even though the corporate hardware option is closer.
