The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and prices are fair for the quality. Unfortunately, they didn't have everything I needed this time, and I wish they carried more bulk packages in the hardware section--smaller hardware stores often have the 2-packs I was looking for. Still, it's a great place to shop locally and support a long-standing Eureka business.

Helpful Staff, Great Garden Section & Well-Stocked Store…read more Shafer's Ace Hardware is a reliable go-to in Eureka for tools, hardware, and household items. The store is well-organized, and I was able to find what I needed quickly. The staff is friendly and ready to help, offering good advice on products and how to use them. There's a nice garden section out back with a good selection of plants and supplies. You can find some good deals when items are on sale, but most everyday prices tend to be higher than the competition. Still, the convenience, knowledgeable service, and variety make it worth stopping in, especially when you need something right away.

So let me first say this was by far my favorite hardware store in EUREKA. Now last week I bought a…read moreroll of black gorilla tape . I put it in my truck drove down to Lakeport for a week of work like I do every other week. When I got to the job, I opened up the gorilla tape started to peel it off the roll and it was coming apart wrong. It was leaving a woven silver un sticky layer almost 15 to 20 feet was like this so I put it away and use the last bit of what I had from a previous role. I took it back into Schaeffer to talk to them to see what we could do. I asked if it was in my history from my ace rewards number and things got very awkward. I was told they couldn't return it because they didn't have the SKU for it so I went and picked up a new roll from their shelf and asked just so they didn't think I was lying to look up my purchase. It was my very last purchase from Schaeffer to which I do spend some money there. But obviously not enough for them to care. Anyhow, the young girls couldn't do anything and I understand. I really wish I would've gotten his name, but I was a little angry and trying to keep cool but it's the short guy with the dark hair and the dark mustache who tried lecturing me and telling me I was wrong that the tape was fine and that he would in no way return it because he could not resell it and why should he eat it? from his instructions, he told me I should've stopped using it immediately kept the original packaging on it and brought it in with my receipt. I did not expect a $14 roll of gorilla tape to be defective. This has never happened before and I did what any normal person who's on the job down in the heat trying to get through his day so after I realized this guy is not gonna budge and I'm gonna have to eat the $14 worth of defective tape. The last thing I told him was you know this is my favorite store. And his response to me was try Pearson's and I told him I will actually I'll probably just shop at Home Depot while I'm down in Mendocino County.
