My pre-lit Christmas tree died last year. The lights in the mid section went out and having to…read morestrand extra lights, was a pain. So I started shopping for a new tree. I hit all the big box stores and even checked the web and could not find one I liked at a price I wanted to pay. I was at a point, where I was giving up and deciding not to have a Christmas tree. To my surprise, I found the perfect tree at a mom and pop hardware store. I came to St Peters, to pick-up some lawn bags and left with lawn bags and a new Christmas tree at a sale price that was cheaper then any of the other places I shopped. Lesson learned, shop local for the best service and value.

Ace = disappointment…read more I searched Thin wall brass tubing and Google returned Ace Hardware in Bethalto Illinois. It appeared that it showed that they had this tubing in assorted sized in individually wrapped pieces and said ready for pickup in store today. I jumped in the car and drove the 13 miles only to be greeted with a blank stare from the girl that I asked. She said "no, they don't have anything like that". I told her I looked it up on line and was told it was available. She said, I'm sorry, but we don't have it. Well, there goes an hour from my day that I'll never see again. Ace has a habit of overselling and promoting items that they do not have at stores, within a reasonable drive. i would like them to at least check their inventory against what they are advertising and at least, try and make it an accurate guess. Lowes is my store, forget Ace, they promise but fail on delivery.

So, went to Ace Hardware website and looked to see if they do automobile key cutting. The site said…read moreyes and that Bethalto could help me out. Called the store and told them I had bought a key fob online for $16. Told me that they can't use my fob and would only cut a key if I bought their $100 key fob. Went to the store and it's the same exact company that sold me a fob for $16. Nice 500% markup guys.

Shouldn't have the doors open if you don't want customers.

Now we are on the list to be called when it was returned and we told them our number and we had no calls. We showed up to get it and they let it go out before they even gave us notice. No call happen for us to know it was returned. They had our number write down on a piece of paper when I walked up to the counter. They said they called us but we lived in Kentucky. That is my son who lived in Bunker Hill and moved 5 years ago or so. Even though we gave them our name and my husband told him that was not him when he looked up the name in the computer. It's was not even the right address. Needless to say they run a hot mess business. They dude who called Daniel (he said I'm calling the owner when he walked away) which is who my husband talk to the first time and had it reserved with. I would not recommend this company at all. They cant conduct business correctly. If I could give 0 stars I would.

The store is directly located across the street from their competitors, so when one doesn't have what you want, you can easily drive across the street and hopefully find what you need. I get lost in this store, so it takes me awhile to find what I am looking for, but I eventually find it. The friendly associates in orange vest, are always ready to assist. They ask me what I am looking for and I tell them, I always look lost. The store is clean and well organized for a Big Box. If you're an early riser, they open at 6AM.
