While preparing for my cruise leaving out of Seward Alaska I was told by one of the locals that Bay…read moreTraders was like the Walmart of Seward and when I had a chance to enter the store I soon found out why. Basically there are no hardware stores, clothing stores (unless you a looking for a souvenir t-shirt) or sporting goods stores in Seward Alaska. This store had everything and was enjoyable to visit. It even had a second floor. My wife ended up purchasing some rubber boots for the ice, which we later found out were like the National boots of Alaska, and I purchased a knit cap with the Bay Traders logo. This is definitely a store for both the local folk and the tourists. Great customer service.

I love wandering through Hardware stores and this one near to Seward Small Boat Harbor is big (2…read morebig floors) and the kind that you might expect in this locale. If you're looking for fishing equipment, locally made knives (Big Beard Blades), mud boots, paint, and other community-specific hardware, this is your place and with extensive hours. In my role as a short time tourist, this place is better than a local gift shop. Gayle and I stopped in a few times, mostly for incidentals while trying to avoid home improvement items for back home. But wait, there's more! Seward Ship's Ace Hardware and Marine is just a short walk past the train station.

I really like this Ace Hardware…read more It's a little out of the way so it doesn't get the foot traffic that TruValue gets, but the employees here are super-helpful. They cut keys for me when no one else in town had the right blanks to get the job done. That sold me on them, initially. Now it's my first choice when I need some hardware. Well done, boys. Well done.

This place feels like I went into the tool section at Lowe's or Home Depot…read more It's not that they don't have other merchandise, it's just that they really seem to have a great selection of power tools. It's not a huge store so it's easy to maneuver around and it wasn't very busy so it was a quick in and out. The inventory seems to be pretty decent. They were out of food safe 5-gallon buckets on the shelf, but they had extras in storage and they got me one of those. The staff was helpful, but not friendly. They had no interest in small talk (or really any talk at all). I was asked if I had a rewards program or something else. I said I didn't. And that was the end of that conversation. They didn't ask if I wanted to sign up or get more information. There are a couple other stores in town. I'll probably try them out before hitting up this place again. Just to see what they're like.

AIH in Eagle River moves back up to three stars for us, as of yesterday, although at the point, I…read moredon't see them ever going any higher. From our previous poor visit, the guy who helped us never made sure our information was updated in the computer, so we had to jump through hoops again. This time, we were told it was updated while we were there (mind you, the last guy said he couldn't). I have to say, they show zero interest in their customers and what they're doing, looking for, projects or otherwise. Just crotchety guys with crap for customer service skills. I'd think guys that like tools would enjoy working in a hardware store but it seems as though that's not the case. My husband is an incredibly cordial guy, likes to give accolades and chit-chat but for the most part, they just won't have it there. I find myself saying 'let's go, they don't care.' Kind of a bummer, especially for a local company... but then again, it boils down to where else are you going to go? Our options are limited in this great state and they just don't seem like they need to try. Guess that's why Amazon is thriving...
