Website said an item was in stock that we needed. Went in. First person said "Oh, that's the corporate website" implying the numbers are never right and made no attempt to help us. Next tried three people behind the register. One told us if it shows in stock, they have it. Go look in aisles xyz. Which we already did, but we looked again. No item. Went back to him. He then went to go get some device to show whether there's stock or not. Showed there was stock. But there wasn't.Anyway...after 20 minutes of back and forth and searching, we left and found what we needed....at a competing store.We have been at this Ace only 2-3 times over the past 10 years, mainly because their prices are significantly more than HD and Menards. The one time in recent memory we wanted something there and were willing to pay was a complete failure.No reason to ever go back.

Just go to Home Depot or Menards, they'll lie to you on the phone and say they have things in stock without ever getting eyes on it. Wasted many trips just to have to go to a big box store. Save your time & gas money in this economy, this place isn't worth it!

Called to see if they had something in stock. Showed up 3 minutes later. They did not. Told the manager to advise her people to just go check instead of just saying yes. Because it's frustrating as a customer. She told me she wasn't a "dog trainer". If you're not there to train your employees, what the hell are you managing?

I recently had the experience of calling this Ace Hardware to check whether they carried a specific size nut.The first call was answered by an associate who, when I asked, said he wouldn't be able to help because he didn't know anything about nuts and my call was cut off.Tried calling back again, and every extension tried was busy and I kept getting put back into the opening announcement.Called back a 3rd time and was connected with James who told me that he couldn't check for the size nut I needed and I should come in and check myself. I explained that would entail a 25 minute drive from my home there and back.I am older consumer which plenty of customer service exposure and I have to say this is the worse I have ever encountered. Come and check the stock for myself!! Crazy. Needless to say, will never use this store.

Nice selection and friendly staff, plus some additional items you might or might not expect but add to a great mix of inventory available. Keep up the great work! ?

Very rude customer service from the sales rep. He certainly was not the "helpful hardware man." I won't be shopping there again.

I've been a life-long Ace patron and was excited to find an Ace close to my new home in Buffalo Grove. That excitement didn't last long after patronizing this Ace. I understand that good employees are hard to come by, but I've seldom experienced customer service worse than this location has to offer. Because of the proximity to my house, begrudgingly I have been here probably 10 times and I dread my visits. Last night, the employee checking me out tried to overcharge me by about $20. When I caught it, they tried to argue with me until another employee stepped in and found the error. As soon as my transaction was approved, the employee pulled out his phone, no 'would you like a bag' or 'have a nice day'.The paint counter gentleman is just as unfriendly.I recommend shopping elsewhere and I will too as soon as I get my bearings straight from my recent cross-country move.

I came in the other day and needed help finding certain things for a DIY project I'm doing with my daughter. A young man named Greg helped me find all of the supplies I needed, he was so helpful, patient and nice. A few weeks ago my wife and I were in and we got flowers the lady who's always outside tending to the flowers was so nice and helpful as well she had so much knowledge. It was truly a pleasure coming in and getting everything we needed both times.

I have been coming to this location for 40+ years as it changed hands through diff owners and brand (True Value & Ace Hdw). The most recent transition transformed it into into a shell... no, an EMPTY HUSK of what it once was. Their shelves are inconsistently stocked, and the employees on the floor lack knowledge about the products they carry. There used to be an employee, Tom, who lasted through the various iterations of the store, and was the go-to guy to get an accurate answer to a product question or product suggestion to solve a repair. He retired. I make it a point to support local, small businesses. But lack of service, products and knowledge make it real hard for me to give them my money.

The shopping experience was perfect. It’s like whatever I needed was ordered. I talked to this tall guy named Curtis and he helped me all around the store
