Berkeley Ace Hardware

Ace Hardware. You kinda know what you're gonna see there unless you've never been to the back room where there are all kinds of models, trains, and hobby-like stuff. Fun to just peruse. Still my go-to years after the move from University to Milvia.

Great Hobby Selection. Your East Bay stop for Ho, N, and O scale model trains.

Almost always has what I need, and the same prices as HD, but with people that know their products and can actually help you! Purchased Titebond wood glue, blue painter's tape and LED florescent tube replacement - great variety, selection.

The worst shopping experience in America. I bought 2 heat lamp bulbs in one package for my new heat lamp. One of the bulb isn’t working. So I brought it back to the store and ask if I can get a replacement. Initially the people were helpful and trying to find another one in the store to replace the broken bulb. Then the manager came and accuse me of bringing an old bulb to try to get a new one. They said they’ll not take it back at all even I just bought them 2 days ago. I told him I never used it but only put it on to test it. He said my story was confusing him (he just joined the conservation half way and didn’t hear clearly how I picked up the product). Then he called me a liar. He asked me to proof if the bulbs I bought from them are the one I’m trying to return. He basically said if I can’t proof that was the product they sold me, he’s not going to take it back. The bulbs are only $15.99. If I were the owner of the store to try to gain a customer satisfaction, I’ll either explain nicely or simply replace them. But calling a customer liar for selling a broken light bulb and refuse to take them back!? This is epic! This is only 2 days after I purchased the bulbs. I swear I will never set foot in this store nor tell anyone I know to purchase from them. I’ve been living in Berkeley for long time and been in this store for many times. The manager is absurd and rude! Don’t buy from them!
