They're affordable, have all kinds of niche items to meet my weirdo needs and the staff are always helpful with finding the goods and also for advising on how to get the job done. I will always shop local first..small business lifts up our communities. read more

Super well stocked hardware store, even by non-big-box hardware store standards. Staff is accessible, helpful, and friendly. Realize there are two rooms to this store, the back room seems to be a lot bigger. So if you don't spot what's on your list in the room you enter from the street, go through the double doors & check the further back room. Or just ask one of the rather abundant staff, who will likely lead you to the appropriate section. read more

Olympia Supply - Cordage section. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Olympia, Washington

See all

Closed early when the posted hours are 6pm doors were locked with the open sign on at 5:50. Ran down to grab something before they closed and went to Home Depot instead. Very frustrating and not the first time! read more

In and out with time to spare on the parking meter. Received prompt service Came in read more

This store has an "old-timey" feeling that's a very appealing alternative to Home Depot and the like. My only complaint is with the demeanor of certain front of store employees who seem like they'd rather be anywhere else-- no smiles, no greeting, no "how can I help you?" I'd love to have a go-to hardware store that doesn't come in a big box so I'll still shop at Olympia Supply. When I do, it would be nice to feel like someone's glad I walked through the door. read more

Dropped my previous rating. Here it is, March 1 and there is little lawn fertilizer available??? One of the guys told me "we haven't set it up yet?" Huh? They also had little other garden supplies. Running the downtown olympia vagrant gauntlet then finding a short supplied store is a downer. read more

New ownership has drastically changed the atmosphere in what used to be a welcoming, helpful local business. At 4:15pm I called to make sure we could get a fishing license, was told we had until 5pm to come in and get it (they close at 6). Made it by 4:35pm and when we asked who to see, we were rudely informed the one person who issues them wasn't there. When we explained we spoke with someone 15 minutes prior who confirmed we had until 5pm, we were snapped at and and sent to a side room with mumbles over her walky talky to summon someone she insisted wasn't there. We then tried to talk to the other worker who answered the phone-he had no concept of time. She appeared high on something, and unable to carry a conversation, let alone conduct business. I'm stunned by their rudeness and absolute inability to conduct business or have any semblance of professionalism. read more

Came here to get a few tools for my maintenance guy bf. I had no idea where to start. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly and an associate came right over to help. Very friendly and helpful. Skip the big box stores and come here. read more

They had the exact specific Gorilla tape that I needed for a quick and strong tape job. Really satisfied with how quick I was in and out of there. read more

Our family has been popping in at Olympia Hardware from time to time for as long as we can remember. Albeit a bit pricey on some things, yet quite reasonable on others. Good quality sourced products combined with their vast knowledge and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy their customers needs, especially in a pinch, make it worth while. Importantly,the fact that their store is so clean bright and organized is what really appeals to me as it is easy to find items in a timely fashion. To me, this shows that they take pride in their work and it reflects in their daily business operations. I enjoy the old fashion vibe they emit. read more

Every time I walk in here someone immediately asks what I need and takes me directly to what I need. So different from Home Depot where I have to track someone down who often doesn't know what's going on. Seems like it's mostly the same people who have been there forever and they are always helpful and able to give good advice or at least pint me in the right direction about my project needs. read more

There is nothing that makes me feel more like a lesbian than a hardware store. They should hand out little rainbow flag patches along with all the tools to complete your next backyard project. i mean, i'm pretty gay every day of the week, but there's something super deep lez about buying a roll of chicken wire and a shiny new shovel on a saturday morning. really, though, the guys who staff this place are awesome. they sort of shrug off my idiotic questions, gesturing toward the right aisle. prices are fair, the selection is solid, the convenience of the location can't be beat. i always find everything i need here and a little something extra, like fancy gardening gloves or high tide tables. additionally, the olympia supply company may have saved our lives during the great christmas blizzard of december 08, and my gratitude for the supplies we needed runs deep. read more

Gotta love the downtown Olympia Supply. So much better than the big box stores. The hours are strictly old-school, but so is the feel of this place. Anything you need they have, can get, or will help you figure out how to make due with what they do have. Huge inventory of fasteners and fittings in the back room. Very helpful staff, although the checkout lady is not so nice sometimes, but that's ok. Truly working man's store. Plus its been around since 1906!! Go Oly:) read more

Olympia Supply - Hardware Stores Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This store has what I need for my projects and is so more enjoyable than the big box stores. It reminds of the hardware store in Oregon near where I grew up (which is long gone like most hardware stores like this). I generally ask help for finding items, as the front and back rooms have a ton of stuff. The back room has ever screw, fastener, and fitting you might need. For my regular/irregularly purchases - it is quick and convenient stop. For me, this is what a hardware store should be - An added benefit - it is been in the community for over 100 years and is locally owned. read more

I love Olympia Supply! They are such great people, maybe a little too eager to help, but that's usually if I come bouncing in with a backpack, unfortunately lots of people with backpacks walk in there wanting to shoplift. Most of the time I have a vague idea of what I need, and by the time I walk out I have detailed list of parts, and everything I need to complete my project. Where would Olympia be without Olympia Supply? Oh, I'd say spectacularly more boring. read more

I've been coming here off and on since I was a kid. Let me say, as a woman shopper, that they treat me as a smart capable person. Even though I'm not especially savvy about tools. I've been looking for an electric mower and was wanting the Earthwise 14" electric mower. They ordered one in for me on Friday and it came in the following Wednesday. I arrived at the same time as their delivery truck. They unloaded it and packed it right out for me. I used the mower this morning before the usual crap rain showed up. The grass was 4-5". The mower mulched its way thru, almost bogged down and came out like a champ. It's light enough that my tennis elbow on my right arm could handle it and my broken middle finger on my left hand didn't hurt much. I'm very happy with my purchase. If there is something you want and they don't have it in stock, but can order it.. Get it here. They are courteous, they don't bullshit or haggle you up to the higher priced merchandise. They listened to me, and as usual, I'm happy. See ya in there sometime my fellow Olympians. And don't get too moldy. read more

We walked in clearly not knowing what we wanted, after standing around for a bit a staff person said to us in an aggressive tone, "what do you need?" (imagine it with the stress on the you, as in what the bleep are you doing in here) Honestly, I responded with a giggle because it was just so ridiculous, and said jokingly "what do I need? what do you need?" The staff person clearly got mad and started ranting. My partner had to tell him to chill out. They didn't have what we needed, and we left. I would have chalked it up to a bad day, but when we got home and told my partner's dad, he said that he always feels like they are too busy being macho and look down on their customers, like they are too good to bother with you so he never goes there anymore even though it is so much closer to the house. read more

These guys are very very helpful and if they don't know they don't BS you they try to find out. It will be s sad day if this place ever closes down. read more

Used to be my go-to store for irrigation supplies Now they tell me they stopped carrying drip irrigation. All the pipe and equipment I bought here is incompatible with home depot so I guess I'm screwed. read more

After visiting Ace and Home Depot only because they are close to my house I finally went to where I should have gone in the first place. Oly Hardware. I called first and the staff actually went to the product and by my description identified my likely part. I drove into town and, sure enough, they had what I needed! Thanks Oly Hardware. You saved the day! Again! read more

This store has everything. especially the hard to find high quality parts the (chinese supplied) big box stores don't have. Many times I've needed to replace a plumbing part or something that's 30 years old and low and behold Olympia supply has it on the shelf. love it! read more

I will not shop here again! I purchased a couple things that did t work out for me. So I went to return these items with receipt in hand and everything still in its package unopened. The gentleman at the register said we have a 30 day return policy so I need to speak with my manager about this return. He comes back to tell me he can't take the return as there is a 30 day return policy. I said there is nothing on the receipt that indicates this, how would I know your policy? He points up to the ceiling and says see that sign. I was flabbergasted. I've never seen that sign. I grabbed my returns thanked him and walked out the door. Warning if you have a return bet back within 30 days or you get to keep the items! read more

Olympia Supply is always the best! Helpful, good variety, excellent quality local business!!

I went here twice to shop and the second time was worse than the first. I over heard a employee bring very very rude to a younger man. I turned and left never to return. I'm now Home Depot bound where the employees know there stuff and are super kind read more

I had a tricky problem with my new dishwasher hookup, and the manager helped me quickly, and went absolutely all out to resolve the problem. He was both creative and persistent, and I ended up spending very little instead of having to call a plumber, which was my fallback plan. Also, it was fun, which is not what I expect from plumbing issues, being a rank amateur. I was wowed. read more

Its a good store - they probably have what you need and if not, they will find it for you and order it in. Staff members go out of their way to help customers. I wish they had a better return process, it's nice to be able to track your purchases with a membership number, etc. But I just save my receipt, no biggie! read more

This is the closest thing around to the old fashioned hardware store that my dad always took me to as a kid. They have a better selection of actual hardware than the big box stores do. read more

If you're anywhere near downtown, it's nuts to think about going anywhere else for hardware. The selection and service is top of the line. That back room just kills me. I can wander around there for days. There's no way you won't find what you need - along with a half dozen things you'll realize you need when you see it. A great local biz. read more

I come here for my do it yourself supplies for my turtle enslosure, they have everything I need except the eggcrate (which most small stores do not carry). I really like that they cut the PVC pipe for you and don't make a big deal out of it like the bigger chain stores do. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. read more

I'm an older woman who has been going to Olympia Supply for 30 years in the process of many home repairs. I am treated with respect and the employees have always been helpful in answering questions. read more

If your project feels like a big game of where's Waldo for all those parts, this is the place to go!

Nice people, well stocked and they are a little pricy but have it all and are very ambiant. A plus is they are smaller than big box so its easy to get in and out. They are also right downtown! read more

I have never been disappointed. I feel like the staff are helpful and attentive. Oly Supply carries so many products from bird feeders to paint to fuses. read more

Olympia Hardware has at least one of everything. I have been in a few times for rubber boots, gloves and tools. I also like looking at the random stuff I probably won't buy like the Pipe wrench as big as my arm. But only recently did I discover that I had never been in the back of the store, and by back I mean rest of the store. ITS HUGE. They have stock metal for welding and every nut or bolt or bit of hardware ever back there. Its a great old local hardware shop I love em. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Way better than the box stores. Yes, it's more expensive but I don't have to drive to Lacey.

We love this hardware store and we live right near the Capital building so it is conveniently located. Today, we went into OSC to return 3 bottles of caulking and an electrical cord that all had the packages intact and they would NOT return these items, or even give us store credit, because it had been longer than 1 month since we purchased them. We buy things from here all the time and I am very disappointed that they don't have a better return policy. read more

Wow, If you need anything stainless, this place has it!! We needed to repair some things on our boat this spring during a trip down to Olympia, and we googled hardware stores nearest us and found Olympia Supply Company! People were helpful, and more importantly, they had the stainless check valve we needed for our bilge!! Pretty cool! Great mini-museum of old photographs and tools on the walls there too. I would recommend this place for everything you need. Boaters and home owners! read more

This is a store for pros, for the most part. If you know your business, you will usually find Olympia Supply to be a great resource. I would shop here almost exclusively if they weren't so outrageously expensive. read more

It seems like everyone reviewing this store falls into either one or five star categories, but I'm firmly in the five star column. We've been using Oly Supply more lately, ever since we set a company policy to avoid using the large chain stores for various supplies. Certainly for our company, any difference in price is more than offset by the time saved in finding help, getting what we need, and getting back to the jobsite. I know I speak for everyone in my company, and my wife as well, when I enthusiastically endorse Olympia Supply. read more

This is one of my favorite hardware store to go to for small hard to find items. I've always been a big fan of old school hardware stores - which this most definitely is. They got what you need for the most part. Mostly, the staff have been helpful. Overall, I rate them as a great business. read more
