    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!

    Over 480,000 products? I believe it!!! McMaster-Carr is probably my favorite tool place to pick up. It's the toys r us of tool stores. You look at their catalog, which by the way has all of the products they carry, and even some special order ones. But don't worry if you need something special orderered it seems they always get it within a few days. For the most part, they have it all. We seem to always need some weird shaped or sized brackets, some strange size sockets, or odd casters. They have them all. Customer service is always top notch, and if you forget something, just walk in to will call and their is a phone and catalogs there to order whatever you need. They are always friendly, helpful, and if you can describe it, they can tell you what page to find it on. The people working at the Will Call desk are always funny, and courteous, even on a cold and rainy day when you know they don't want to be there. I love coming here not only for the product and service, I love the fact they have parking for big trucks. Just remember: the entrance is on Bell Ranch, right before the main entrance to the building, but if you miss it, they have signs everywhere sending you back to Bell Ranch. Sorry orange guys and sorry Lowe's, McMaster-Carr will always be #1 in my book...

    The waiting area if you don't order ahead of time. Usually it takes about 30 min after ordering for everything to be ready.

    Yep, read all the negative reviews before I posted mine and there spot on. Went there twice on 2…read moredifferent days and first time whoever works in the morning was just rude. No emotion didn't say hello. Barely want to even help me but whatever I ordered apart online so I was just picking it up. Went back the next day, online it says the close at 6:30 I got there at 6:03. As soon as I walk in a man and a lady are just standing there talking and laughing and they instantly look at me and say "oh we're closed" even though the door is wide open and then they're just sitting there kicking the shit. I just stand there with a blank face cuz I'm like...really.. it's damn near 30min till close time and yall are literally doing nothing. Lady says.. "well do you know what you need?" Cuz she knew I was like wtf.. so that was her attempt to help me, but I was returning something.. I knew it was gana be an issue so I just turn around and walked out.. they literally walked right behind me and closed the door n locked it. Stood there n watch me go to my car. You think they would help me when there's still 30 minutes to the store closes and there's nobody in there. It's not like they're busy. I'm the only customer in there. Pathetic il never step foot in there again.

I'll be sure to take my companies business elsewhere

    Beware of the store Manager here is why ! I visited…read moreMerritt's Ace Hardware on Hacienda Blvd with my e-bike because there is no secure bicycle parking outside. 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

    Sometimes it's nice to skip the big box stores and support a true neighborhood hardware store…read more I stopped in to grab a few items and, as always, found myself spending extra time checking out their incredible BBQ selection. If you're into grilling or smoking, this place is a hidden gem. They have an impressive assortment of BBQ rubs, sauces, accessories, and a great selection of Traeger pellets. It's easy to get lost browsing all the options. Of course, it's still a fully stocked hardware store, so you'll find everything you'd expect for your home improvement and repair projects too. What really keeps me coming back is the atmosphere. It reminds me of the neighborhood hardware stores I grew up with. The staff genuinely welcomes you when you walk in, they're knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, and offer advice you can actually trust. On top of that, their prices are very competitive. Shopping here just feels more personal, and it feels good supporting a local business that truly values its customers. Great people, great prices, and great vibes. Highly recommended!
