I'm not sure what happened during the other reviewer's experience, but I've returned several items to Cronk's that I purchased at other Ace locations. Before we moved to our place in Newaygo full-time, we had it as a vacation home, so I would buy something at Gemmen's Ace in Hudsonville that I hoped would work. If it didn't, I'd return it to Cronk's. There doesn't seem to be much of a small-town upcharge, and I like to support a local business rather than drive to a box store on Alpine. It's a good value for the time I save.

Just okay, I guess. I usually went to Haveman Hardware. The technical help was usually not good at…read moreAce, but it was always good at Havemen. Now that Havemen is out of business, and our Walmart is getting better all the time, and with a new Meijer coming to town, I guess I don't need Ace, unless I cannot find what I need somewhere else. The problem is not with the cashiers or other staff; they are always nice. The problem is when I need technical help. I often get some kind of sublte attitude, as though I am interrupting their little social group in the back. And, when I do find help, the person usually lacks technical and product knowledge. Maybe it's me, and I have simply been unlucky to get the trainees or disgruntled employees almost every time FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS since I moved to town. The "Ace, the Helpful Place" motto does not seem to fit this particular store.

Amazing service. Needed a trailer adapter for the electrical. The first salesman looked up what was…read moreneeded checked supply and they were out. He offered a few places we could go to get one. The owner came in and was just as friendly and helpful and they even gave the other store a call to make sure they would hold it for us. They didn't get our business but still were fantastically helpful and friendly. I will make an effort to revisit and use their service. This store has been around for a long time and it's evident that it's because they go above and beyond for their customers. Way to go!

Was told by the employee I could bring it back with the receipt and receive a full return. 24 hours later I brought it back with the recipe and was told no refund because of a close out. I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place had I known that. The item was only $10.49, not a lot of money, it's the principal, no apology, have a good morning, very unprofessional. Last time for me. Beware, I gave the item back to the clerk, now they can sell it to some else.

I got the runaround by the lady owner. She said we don't sell these. I went back to the rack where I bought them from and showed her that she did. She told me to come back on Monday. This was Friday. When I got there on Monday morning, she said we're not going to honor it. Do you have a receipt. You don't need a receipt it's like snap on and craftsman. Besides, who keeps a receipt from years ago, for a set of Allen head sockets. I grew up in Howard city, and I remember when Manson's was downtown and they were a great place to go before they moved into the old Olsen knife building where they are now. I would drive 100 miles to buy something somewhere else to avoid going to this place I would never ever buy another thing from them. Avoid them at all cost.
