Fischer’s Hardware — Local services in La Porte

I've always tried to support them with my business. Especially since their staff is very helpful and moderately knowledgable, but I can't give more than 2 stars after today. It's pretty understood that with a small local shop, you will pay a little extra over the big box stores, and I don't usually have a problem with that. Searched their online store for a product before I made the drive and saw that they carried it. When I got there I noticed they had it marked up from their own website. Online price, $31.49....in store price, $41.99....big box store price, $24.99. I asked if they would honor their own online price and I was told "No." I was fully willing to pay the extra $6.50 over the box store price, but come on! A $17 dollar mark up on a $25 box store product is hard to swallow, but a $10.50 mark up from your own online price that you won't honor is unacceptable! As a side note, this product was not "on sale" at online, or in either store. Those are just the regular posted prices. Disappointing since they are the last local hardware store. Sorry, I can't support that kind of local business...

My husband and I recently moved to Shoreacres & we needed a few things, our friendly neighbors recommended Fischers. The staff was friendly enough, HOWEVER, I'd purchased 2 cans of Do It Best foaming hornet& wasp killer. Both cans of spray sputtered for about 10 sec of use & didnt faze the Hornets roughly 9ft away, the can states it kills on contact & reaches 20ft. I took the cans back to the store to exchange them, given we tried both cans for about 10 seconds each. I was told they couldn't be exchanged because they were used. I stated no can should be remotely empty with only 10 sec of use. I was given the eye roll by the manager. I did purchase a can of Bengal foaming hornet & wasp spray and it actually performed as promised. I will not be returning to Fischer's for anything. We will take the drive to home depot in Kemah area instead. I'd rather make the drive there than to be treated the way I treated today by the manager at Fischer's. I would've been satisfied with am even exchange of 2 working cans of the same product that...
