    Missing returned item.

    This review is for the middle aged brown hair lady who is like talking to a brick wall. If she doesn't like that you want to say anything more than hello, she knows what not to do, so you won't get your return. Just be careful not to deal with her and to ask for someone else; and worst case, document with video your returns. She may refuse your packing slip, so the hard workers in the back don't get you the return. I'll update this review when I go back to get her name. Customer service over the phone is great, and I do appreciate their patience and attitudes. I'm sure there's plenty of other nice representatives at this location, I've just been unfortunate to have to deal with this lady multiple occasions.

    I walked in and gulped. I did not do my research, also known as, read any reviews.This was not a brick and mortar store. I should've done my shopping online when I had the chance. The problem was I did not know what my part was called. I brought it in to multiple hardware stores and none seemed to have it. This 'knob-screw-thingy-majig' was annoying me, but it was something I needed to put my project together. I came here on the recommendation of Roy B. I walked up to the cashier, Rosa, thinking she could just find it for me in their massive warehouse. She directed me to the area of placing orders with a massive book full of possibly Greek and Aramaic numbers. I told her I honestly did not know what i was looking for. She then even proceeded to tell me that their competition Grainger accepts tools all the time (or girls like me) and I could just go there and "dump my items on the counter". The look on my face must've been sheer distraught. It was pouring rain outside, and it was close to 4 PM. I would not have any luck at all today. Rosa changed her mind before my thoughts turned into anger and frustration. She then accompanied me to read their massive buyer's bible, and checked my item's screw measurements. She could not find the item herself, so she called upon the manager, Tammy, who then took her time in looking up something that would fit the bill. They did not have my exact knob-screw-thing-majig, but she found me something that would fit my needs. Tammy proceeded to give me the item number, so I could then call and order myself. I felt like a real grown-up, or err.. like a real man. Twenty minutes later, my name was called, and Rosa checked the items in the package. I also learned of their great return policy. I almost gave this store a one star. I'm glad for employees like Tammy and Rosa to help a girl out!

Before bringing it in, I asked the cashier if it was okay since I was only going to be inside for a few minutes to purchase a few items. The cashier said it was fine. A few minutes later, the store manager, who I believe is named Evan, came through the store yelling, "Whose e-bike is that?" in front of other customers. Instead of speaking to me professionally, she immediately became confrontational. I calmly explained that I only needed a few minutes to finish my purchase, but she responded by insulting me and using profanity. I'm an adult, a paying customer, and a regular shopper at this location. There was no reason for the situation to be handled with shouting and disrespect. If there was a store policy, it could have been explained politely instead of creating a scene. I reported the incident to corporate, but because this location is independently franchised, they were unable to resolve the issue. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this store while this manager is in charge. Customers deserve professionalism and respect, not public embarrassment over a situation that could have been handled with a simple conversation. Ty

I was replacing two shed and specifically told the Area Sales Specialist, Alex Mesa from the Whittier Store what I expected in measurement and sizing. It needed to be approximately 14 feet long to replace the length of the two sheds. After measurememts and rechecked, I discovered that the shed was not the size and measurement I had requested. The shed also was supposed to have two shelves and vent and that was not done. I contact the General Manager twice regarding the issues. Hindsight, I believe it was more important to get the sale and built it then to give me what I wanted at the price that he was selling. My biggest problem with this is the General Manager, Mike Goodman knew there were problems with the sale, as the shed was "Not as I ordered!" The only resolution he offered was a shed that size will cost you over $3000. He made no attempts to mediate or negotiate the situation. In summary, I'm disappointed, feel it was a breach, failure of our sales agreement, and unacceptable structure issues. I'm demanding an immediate transaction reversal and itemized refund. In additional, a check for the full advance payment of $500. My advice to you, always read what you're paying or signing for and not trust that what you request will be followed. Kay W.
