I purchased a Weber grill and I asked for free assembly and delivery because Lowes offered this. I was told they will see what can be done, and they would get back to me. I paid for the grill and left. Approximately a week later I received a phone call asking if I could take delivery. I said yes, but no one showed up. Several days later I stopped in the store to get a status update. I was told by the employee that he has to make a phone call.

Read moreBeware. This store sells items in packaging that, while designed to appease VP's of loss prevention, effectively make Ace Hardware the thieves, as in your money. I have had these guys steal my money twice by having packaging requiring it's destruction to get at an item to test its suitability. Once I chose the wrong product, the next (and last) time I bought something based on their recommendation and both times Ace refused to stand behind their products and accept a return. I can understand my mistake, but not theirs. In order to steal over fifty bucks from me, Ace has chosen to forego ALL my future purchases. Caveat Emptor....
