Hillsboro Ace Hardware - Cheap material don't buy here

Hillsboro Ace Hardware

Best and most personable service. I love the positive attitude in the store and got great service…read moreat the key station. Clerk was getting ready to go on break and immediately another clerk stepped in. I was looking for another product and he walked me over to the area instead of pointing to the aisle. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The family loves having a hardware store around that doesn't force them to drive down to the Home…read moreDepot/Lowe's megaplex on TVH, but as has been mentioned here before, location is kind of all this Ace has going for it. We've been shopping here for various items since it opened, and you're clearly paying for convenience. Bags of weed-and-feed, soil, and ready-mix concrete are all readily available, but are easily more expensive than you'll find at big-box stores. But that convenience is often worth the price, especially if you aren't buying a lot of the product. A look around the floor, however, makes me wonder if management isn't making up for bad seasonal decisions on its everyday items. Every winter, the place stocks sleds, snow shovels, and ice melt as if we're in Minnesota. It's Hillsboro, Oregon: Beyond the elevations, you're lucky to get maybe a day's worth of snow or ice here a year. Then there are the holidays: The store just brings in a bunch of pre-cut trees, piles them in a fenced area that typically houses grills and lawn furniture, and makes no attempt to tell customers that they are there for purchase. By January 11, they still had 13 trees bound up and on the lot. There was no signage on the store indicating they were selling trees and no indication inside that somewhere behind an entire floor of December grills and smokers, there's a tree lot. "Stocking stuffers" linger up front for months. Novelty tchotchkes line shelves to checkout unsold and collect dust until next season. And the items you ARE looking for? All somewhat locked away behind half-shut glass enclosures for tools and hardware. The word is that this place got absolutely pounded by organized shoplifters when it first opened and it's made none of the adaptations that surrounding stores have since the pandemic (changing layout, obstructing easy exits) to fix the problem. Instead, each customer is just asked at loud volume if they need help finding something. The staff asking that question is a mixed bag at best. Some are regulars who know their way around both the store and the equipment and can make tasks like mixing paint seem relatively straightforward. Others seem more preoccupied with striking up folksy conversation, harassing folks in the aisles, and--on the rare occasion they're actually needed--doing as much as they can to prolong the process as possible. During a recent Sunday visit, mixing a small can of paint somehow required three different employees and absorbed an amount of time long enough to allow a nearby megachurch to let out and have half of the congregation use the place as both a coffee circle and day care. Amid their conversations with those parishioners and their it-takes-a-village approach to congregational parenting, the staff couldn't be bothered to release one small can of paint from the shaker. By the time we received it, the can arrived with multiple queries about the color-indicating dot on top, stirring sticks, and openers. I've come to genuinely dislike the experience of visiting this store and can see why it's in the same shopping center as two bars and a liquor store. The degree with which both its inventory and staff can try a customer's patience both outweighs the convenience of its location and can drive even local teetotalers to a quick sip of cocktail-grade anesthetic.

After three days of searching for someone to help me with my lamp. I called Home Depot…read moreelectric/lamp dept...Larry said,"if you bring your lamp in I'll see what I can do" turns out he's worked for Home Depot 18yrs... he's a retired Vet/electrician he was my Champion today. He took my lamp apart & fixed it. He was wonderful. This man deserves a raise he was amazing!! Please reward him in some way! Home Depots getting my families business going fwd...LARRY'S A ROCKSTAR!

I seem to be having a very bad run with local businesses lately. Not that Home Depot is in any way…read morea "local business" even though this branch is literally walking distance from my home. I had a 33 year old Amana refrigerator that was continuing to chug along but was clearly showing it's age. With the future uncertain I didn't want to risk having a refrigerator conking out on me right when I need it most. So I've been shopping around for a while to find a suitable, reliable, ideally USA-made replacement. First went to a small local retailer. That turned out to be a fiasco. Review on that experience has already been posted. Then I went to Lowes and placed an order that they promptly "lost". Review on that has also been posted. So that brings us to Home Depot. At this point I just wanted to get an order placed, at a competitive price and get the thing delivered. Refrigerators, like cars, are a commodity item. Retailers are all over the place selling the very same item. So the value proposition is who has the best price and the best customer service. Home Depot won on price. Their customer service was a massive fail. The purchasing experience was very painful. I'll spare you the details except to say that trying to give someone your money should NEVER be painful. The delivery was HORRIBLE. Home Depot outsources their deliveries to an outfit that pretty much defies description. They basically dumped the thing in place, plugged it in ans mumbled "thanks" as they raced to get to their next delivery. I spent the next two hours removing tape and packing materials, cleaning the unit, leveling it and so on. MASSIVE FAIL! The fridge itself seems to be fine based on 24 hours of ownership. I still have a very simple question that I can't seem to get answered by Frigidaire or Home Depot.....both of them having customer service that is, to be kind, "disinterested". Both are still quite happy to continue the high pressure "extended warranty" scam pitch. But service after the sale? FuhGeddaBowDIt... I guess the only positive to this story is that at my advanced age, the chances are good that this will be the last refrigerator I ever purchase.... if there is a God in Heaven. I rarely go inside a Home Depot so it's not like this bad experience will in any way further taint my already poor opinion of that box store. Hoping to resume to my previous long run of excellent customer experiences at highly Yelp rated local businesses! SOON!

This is NOT a good place to buy anything that your life depends on... like lifts, jack stands, ramps and so on. Also not a good place to buy if you are looking for professional grade, precision items. I've been wrenching since I was a wiener so I know the value of tools that can be dual-purposed as pry-bars and sledge hammers. I have a fair number of crappy tools that have served me well for the purposes that I needed them to. I also have a fair number of tools that came from Snap-on, Craftsman and suppliers like those. A cheapo socket set? A set of drift pins? Yep, this is the place. A precision torque wrench that will get a lot of use? Maybe not so much. The employees at these places are usually low quality just like the merchandise. I don't mean this as a slam. You're going there to save money right? Not to have a great customer experience, get great advice and walk out with high quality tools at prices that are in the stratosphere. If the cashier even looks at you and acknowledges your presence you should feel lucky. Most of the time the employees are so totally indifferent to you that they will actually turn around and walk the other way if you look like you are going to ask them a question. I've been to this particular store many (MANY) times and this is one reliable constant here. They typically have on one cashier on duty and a line of many customers. And that one cashier has only one speed.... s-l-o-w! I'm going to guess that HF doesn't pay very well so attracting good employees probably isn't on the corporate radar. Not every project requires top-of-the-line tools to accomplish. I do a lot of repairs that only require a tool that works, not necessarily a tool that would work well in daily use. So in that regard, HF fulfills it's purpose and most of us don't have the disposable funds to be buying the best possible tool if it's only going to be used rarely. HF is popular with professional mechanics so perfectly serviceable equipment can be had here at low prices. You just need to know how to spot quality vs junk. Hence the 4 stars for fulfilling a needed service. If I was to grade the staff, it would be a solid one star and that would be generous.
