I have been there at least 100 times. They are locally American owned and that is important especially in today's world. Goody's hardware is a great value and member of the local community. Remember it's the locally owned businesses that sponsor local events and local youth sports teams 95+% of the time. No, they are not nor have I ever had them be the sponsor of any team I or my kids have been on, just to be clear for the naysayers.

Manager was extremely rude and disrespectful to me from the moment I walked in the door. Better off going to Lowe's, Home Depot or another online delivery service which eventually will force them to shutter up shop for good.

I contacted Springhill Hardware and spoke with Frank and asked if they sold Weber grills and if…read morethey would be able to deliver it assembled. I live in Virginia and my mom lives in Hamden and my brother and I wanted to get her a new grill because her grill was falling apart and not working properly. My brother had cooked on the grill this summer and it took forever to cook the chicken. I call the hardware store and worked with Frank, who was awesome and understood my request for the grill to be assembled and delivered. Frank delivered the grill to my mother as part of an early Xmas gift and she was very excited to finally have a new grill. I would highly recommend Springhill Hardware over the big box hardware stores. It was a great feeling to support a local resident and business that has been there since I was growing up in Hamden in the 70s.

My mother has been a loyal customer of Stewart's Ace Hardware in Clinton for over 7 years. She…read morerecently purchased a $900 Weber natural gas grill (Spirit S-425), believing it was fully stainless steel like her previous Genesis model. There was no floor model to inspect, and she trusted the store's description and history. When the grill arrived, it had only stainless trim, no wheels, and was clearly not the heavy-duty model she expected. She declined delivery politely and even offered to pay the price difference or use gift cards to upgrade to the better model. They refused. Instead of working with her, they issued a refund--and then left her a voicemail telling her never to shop there again. Their own voicemail admitted it was a "snafu" and they "don't normally sell natural gas grills," but punished her for not accepting a downgrade. This wasn't about being difficult. It was about being fair. After over 7 years of loyalty, this was their response. If this is how they treat long-time customers, I encourage others to think twice before shopping here.

The store can mix at their convenience and I avoid the long lines waiting for them to mix. I offered my credit card over the phone in advance. They said no that I had to come in, order and wait in line. Poor customer service! I do this often and other stores accommodate. This time I called Essex Hardware instead and they had no problem mixing ahead of pickup and said they didn't even need my CC in advance.

My contractor bought them from BBS several years ago. After an initial diagnostic visit two months ago (for which I was charged $250), it has been radio silence ever since.

It's a terrible customer experience; really terrible. As of now I am out $250, still need repairs, and am getting absolutely no proactive communication from BBS. If I could have gone elsewhere for service, I would have.

The few folks I did see at the other place neither greeted me nor even so much as smiled at me. Then I went to this Lowe's and the employees were super friendly and helpful. Though that was in the past. The most recent time I went to this Lowe's, there were hardly any employees working. One looked right at me and didn't say a word or even smile. I went to check out and there was literally no one working the checkout lines. I must say I did notice a sign while walking in that said they were hiring and suggested filling out an application inside...so I suppose they were short staffed. I ended up going to the service/returns desk and the employee (who had not acknowledged me or smiled at me minutes earlier) was then very friendly and helpful, offering no protest when I told her I was there (at the returns desk) to purchase an item. Not only have I had better luck at this Lowe's virtually every other time I've been here in the past, but their prices are cheaper than the other guys! I suppose that, at the very least, will keep me coming back. Hopefully next time they will be more adequately staffed.
