Today, with all the rain, I needed boots. Of course it was the end of the season and a lot were purchased. I have to tell you that the person, the lady, that helped me was a gift from heaven. My size and narrow foot made it impossible for me to fit in the ankle height. But she sure did try, did it in such a nice way, and her patience is incredible. None of them fit but she knew the products well. Liked having a woman helping me. An Ace Hardware Emerald Isle Nice Matters visit today. Thank you angel in the middle of a rain storm.

I love Ace Hardware, I always find what I need without getting 10,000 steps in searching a giant warehouse store that has stuff spread out in the strangest ways. Ace is logical and efficient. They are willing to assemble things you buy if they don't come put together. And they have a great BBQ and grilling area, better than any warehouse or club store. Instead of putting ut dozens of the same grills to look complete they only put out display models so they can also show you all the accessories, spices, and teach you which one is right fro your style of grilling or smoking.

Lowes is perfect for plants and maybe tools. However, Never use them for installation of anything…read more They use a 3rd party for installation and tell you if there is a problem with the installation, they have a team to help you. Their so-called team is nothing but a answering service for the installation company. I purchased a stove, refrigerator and range hood which I had installed. While they were installing the range hood they damaged my brand new stove. They asked to repair it which I replied with a hard NO. I not paying for a damaged stove. 3 weeks later Lowes installation team is still waiting to hear from the company who installed it. If Lowes really cared about their customers and stood behind their installation process, they would have replaced my stove right away.

I needed help with the machine and I had to wait until the girl in the credit card register area came over to help the cash register area. This is stupid. Normally I am pleased with this company but today not so much. The register also did not take my id card for my discount. Glad I checked when she told me how much cash. I said, where's the discount. She had to check the price and redo the whole transaction and then it took. One five dollar item took me from ten to fifteen minutes to check out. Wait, double check, redo, wait for right button to be hit for cash, wait for change..... NO, bring back employees that work a register. At least have ONE in the store. Now, five stars for the girl that helped me. She was apologetic and helpful with a smile.

In the future, I'm going here first because they can make it work for you. They come with my highest recommendation!
