Absolutely Terrible! I special ordered a 7ft length of black painted 1 5/8" tubing for my metal…read morechain link gate. This tubing is supposed to support the large steel wheel which is attached to my 23' long driveway gate. The total amount for the metal tube was $26.14. I found that the company which makes the tubing decided that it's ok to use a thin wall tube for this weight bearing application causing a very sloppy and loose fit. Not acceptable unless you are a company that does not care about the products you sell. I attempted to return the tubing at Payless Building Supply in Chico, CA. They declined to return it or even give me store credit because the cashier said it was special ordered. I have spent well over $5000 at this store for materials in the last few years. Never again will I buy anything from Payless Building Supply in Chico, Ca. They do not stand behind their products. Absolutely Terrible!

My recommendation is they dump the whole system and get some employees that actually care about the business, customer service and answering calls. I can't very well tell what the selection is because nobody will pick up the damn phone. As far as value, I can't really make a comment on the cost because again, nobody answered the phones.

I have had multiple frustrating experiences at the Lowe's in Chico. The customer service has…read moreconsistently been poor, and it often feels like employees either do not know where items are located or are not interested in helping customers find what they need. When you are trying to get in and out for a project, that makes the whole shopping experience harder than it needs to be. Another major issue has been inaccurate stock information. There have been several times where the website or store system showed that an item was in stock, only for me to arrive and find out that it was not actually available. This wastes customers' time, especially for people who are shopping for materials for work or scheduled projects. Overall, the service is slow, the store feels poorly organized from a customer standpoint, and getting basic help can be difficult. I understand that retail can be busy, but customers should still be able to rely on accurate inventory and employees who can help locate products. This store needs serious improvement in customer service, inventory accuracy, and overall efficiency.
