Ace Hardware Saddle Rock

Store is generally decent but recently I had a paint pole break that was clearly labeled "Ace: Satisfaction Guaranteed" so I took it in, they refused to do anything without a receipt. Might be a corporate thing but who keeps a receipt for every household item they purchase? Why have an Ace Rewards account if I have to keep a paper receipt? Label was still on the pole anyway that said ACE on it. Contacted corporate, they told me to pound sand, didn't even offer a coupon toward a replacement. Warranty doesn't mean much if a company won't stand behind it. Response to owner: It's really simple, here's what it says on the label that's still on the tool: "The Ace Promise: If this Ace product when used for its intended purpose, fails to give you complete satisfaction, return the item to the store for replacement of same or similar item". No caveats, no requirements, no limitations. If it's going to be printed right on it, you back it up. Having stuff not break is why you buy the more expensive metal ones instead of the flimsy plastic ones. The Ace warranty used to say "Ace Brand hand tools are guaranteed for life. Our full lifetime warranty states that if any Ace Brand hand tool, used for its intended purpose, fails to fulfill your expectations, return it to any Ace store location for a free replacement of the same or similar item. This warranty provides you with the ultimate quality assurance." Easy to find on the internet. If that's changed in the meantime it should still apply to tools bought with that. Maybe I grew up in a time with the Craftsman warranty when things used to be simple and companies didn't make you jump through hoops, but on the other hand you had the opportunity to create customer loyalty and didn't. Didn't have to be a replacement, could have been some other gesture. Replacement tips for poles are cheap on amazon, you should carry those. Would have been easy to offer a free $2 replacement part and salvage an otherwise perfectly good tool. I didn't expect a whole lot when I went in, but thought I should ask since it was printed right on it. I think the way it was handled actually bothered the other customers in line more than me, as several people approached me in the parking lot after and were annoyed by the interaction. You may have lost a few customers at the time unfortunately.

This is the first Ace hardware that wouldn't accept a return from another store. I have used ace for years in multiple states with no issues. Very disappointed in this store. Will never buy anything from this store. Response to owner. I don't know where you are getting that most Ace hardware's don't accept returns from other stores. You are the first store I have ever gone to that would not accept a return from another store. I have worked all over multiple states doing side jobs. Been to 20 plus Ace hardware's and yours is the first store that refused a return from another store. The only exception is if they don't stock that item. Which is understandable. To not accept returns from other stores at all is just bad business. Probably why I was the only person in the store. Have fun running your business into the ground.

I just brought in a single 21" × 37" window screen, to be re-screened only. No new frame or clips needed, just replacing the fiberglass screen. I am in complete shock they are charging $57 for this, especially since another ACE location, also in Aurora, charged slightly over $100 TOTAL for 6 screen repairs just a month ago?!! Price gouging????

Good customer service and a good amount of stock for a smaller store. Generally what they don't have they can order. Nice, knowledgeable associates, clean and orderly store.

Great place to go when working on a DIY project. There's always salespeople available who can advise you on the best approach to successfully complete your project. They usually have the obscure item you need to complete your project. Thanks Ace

Though a bit short-staffed, they took time to reach down my item and used all my coupons. Winner!

I'm happy that this Ace has opened hear me, thus us the best place to buy hardware specifically.

Not sure where you found your cashier but he really needs to learn the job and probably get a refresher on basic math.

Thanks to a very nice lady I was able to match my siding paint, she gave me good advice, too bad she was a customer, and not the guy matching paint.

Great store and very friendly employees! If you are looking for specific nuts, bolts, washers for your project this is the place to go. Forget Home Depot or Lowes where selection is spotty. Also come here for excellent costs on filling your propane tank. Get it filled fully unlike the exchange places that give you partially filled.
