Novick Paint and Hardware — Local services in Jersey City

I came to buy poinsettas here for Christmas. I asked the guy at the register for the price. He came over and said the price was on the plant and pointed me to the sticker... it was 4.99. I told the guy I would come back because I did'nt want to carry them around as I ran errands. I came back 2 hours later and they had put different stickers on the plant covering the price. When I pointed it out to the guy (I'm assuming the manager) he acted like he did'nt know what I was talking about and asked me how many poinsettas I planned on buying so he could give me a "good price". I was trying to peel the 2nd sticker off in front of him because I knew I was'nt wrong. He ended up pricing them at 3 for $20 when originally it would have been $15. I just bought them because my daughter is visiting and she loves these plants there was no other shop that poinsettas close by. They really played me over $5. Ridiculous. That's why some people don't want to shop with local businesses because of shady businesses practices like the one I experienced. I would've rather gone to Home depot or Lowes at least the price is clear and no one is trying play...

This is a good little neighborhood hardware shop that'll meet your emergency and basic needs. The staff is always ready to help and attentive. I've had some good interactions with them and they've come up with some creative and effective solutions to problems I've gone in with. I've managed to find whatever I need most of the times I have visited and this is the 1st place on my list to check when I have to fix something. You'll find your basic plumbing repair needs, paint, tools, keys, and fasteners like screws and nails always stocked and ready. Do yourself a favor and check this store if you're in the neighborhood and need to fix something. It'll help the community and you'll save yourself a trip to any of the big box stores that are farther away. You will NOT find things like lumber or very specialized tools here. I don't know where to go in Jersey City for that stuff but this is a nice...

An older gentleman working the front desk was so rude to me about returning an UNUSED luggage scale minutes after I purchased it because my partner called me and told me he pick one up already. So I went to return the over priced luggage scale and the man publicly shamed me about hurting small businesses with returns. And loudly, so everyone could hear, told me he would give it to me from his own pocket cuz I was pathetic. When he actually just went to the stores extra cash drawer behind him. Which is in plain view. After I left I called to ask for the owner or a manager he told me there was no one there and blew me off. I would seriously reconsider going here ever. The place smells like rancid milk and EVERYTHING is overpriced!!!!! Plus the people who work there clearly have no concept of professionalism or customer service. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! YOU WILL...
