When I opened up this website today, all I saw were three one-star ratings. I cannot agree with…read morethem based on my overall good experiences at MAKI's in Gardner. I have used them for everything from purchasing a 12' ladder to hardware, fasteners, and lumber as well as miscellaneous tools and sawblades and drill bits. The team at Maki's has always been helpful to me and my wife and I recommend them and their policies. Returns have been easy as well. Overall, I will continue to use Maki for my hoime building and repair needs.

I always buy local and avoid the big box stores as much as possible. However, after many visits…read moreto Maki home center in Gardner, I'll drive to Home Depot or Lowes. Your customer service at the counter is horrible! That woman couldn't get a worse attitude! Not everyone that comes in your store is a professional contractor. So,questions shouldn't be met with an Answer with a horrible attitude. I'll take my money elsewhere. I would like to add that the employee at the gate was great and I completely appreciated his assistance. That's why you got one star at all.

Yelp Challenge 2015. 153/365…read more I was disappointed when ordering online there are zero security measures in place to ensure the card holder is the actual person ordering. I have never heard of this place before until it showed up on my bank statement. Someone decided to place an order here 2000 miles away from me using my credit card, an fake email addy and no phone number buying something I would never buy, then shipped it a 1000 miles away to somebody else, who does not even exist. When I noticed the charge it had already been shipped and delivered, left at the door of the imaginary person. Imagine that. Now the order has gone upstairs to their fruad department, but it is to late since they already received the package. It is not like they are going to send UPS back there to retrieve the package. Although, if I lived there, I would make a visit to their house myself. With some catfishing I found their 411 on my own, since Aubuchon did not have it. I have their real phone number and real names if Aubuchon would like their money back to cover the stuff they purchased with my card. But to the person who did this, careful Karma is coming for you. #647

I was just about to purchase one of your thermometers... until I noticed you add $$ for a handling…read moresurcharge because I live in Alaska. Really? Do you have to handle something more or longer when it comes to Alaska? Do you not use USPS Priority mail, "if it fits it ships"? Item Subtotal: $9.99 Standard Shipping to 99712: $6.95 Change Shipping Zip Code Delivery Surcharge to 99712: $5.21 b/c outside of continental USA Tax: $0.00 Estimated Order Subtotal*: $22.15 That would mean I'd pay $9.99 for the product and $12.16 for the shipping. Ummm - that's NUTS! Not only will I never purchase anything from you - I will gladly pass along this info and recommendation for other Alaskans to NOT shop here. Too bad too... you're just about the only place I found that caried the thermometer I wanted. Sincerely, Rosie Fairbanks, ALASKA --- STILL part of the UNITED STATES & STILL using green money.
