    Do not purchase the extended protection plans, they are a total scam. They cover nothing. I specifically asked when purchasing the two chairs about damage caused by dogs and was assured that the chairs would be replaced. When I tried to file a claim, I was told that damage by dogs is not covered, only stains. If the chair is stained by the animal, they will send you a cleaning product. The chairs are squeaking terribly when they rock. That is also not covered. In fact, nothing is covered. I was purposefully lied to in order to get me to purchase the two plans for $300. Never again. Lowes and Home Depot here I come!

    I was excited to see a new hardware store competing with Home Depot and Lowe's when it arrived in our area. I have now done business with this location and am disgusted by the true lack of service I receive when doing business with this location. Example: Online order for 6 x 12 x 8 pressure-treated lumber. The lumber was terrible quality, and because I wasn't taking that item, your staff thought it was appropriate to tell me to take my car already loaded with lumber to customer service on the other side of the store to correct the order. Really? No, that is the staff's job to do.

    Example: I purchased an exterior 1/2 light door with window that opens that should have a screen in it. Picked up on 6/6/21, installed on 6/15/21. Discovered after the installation by my contractor that the screen is missing. So, how does Menards staff handle this? They tell me to run after the manufacturer to get the screen that should have been with the door to begin with. No, that is the staff's job. Not the customer who spent over $360 for that door. This company's service is infinitely worse than Home Depot. They should be ashamed of this store.

    I placed an order on for a gift card for my father's birthday. I contacted customer service within 7 minutes of placing this order, because I missed a number off on the address and Menards changed the city without my knowledge. I asked them if they could correct the address.. I contacted 30 minutes later stating they would attempt to cancel, but could not change the address. I contacted them back 2 hours later and no response. A hour later, I contacted the main office, only to be told they will look into it. I signed back into my account and it showed shipped. 10 hours later, I have contacted the company 3 times, no response, no actions. I am out $50. However they are out a loyal customer. Lowe's will now have all my business.

    Menards offers an 11% rebate on its ONLINE site that in the fine print turns out only able to be used IN-STORE. How stupid! So I'm supposed to drive from Texas to Missouri to use an 11% discount. So what they are doing is using a rebate as a tool to gain sales knowing that the vast majority of their nationwide customers will never be able to use their rebate. Blatantly dishonest. I reached out to Menards to ask if they would honor the rebate for a new order of $200 but they declined to do the right thing. So they will not be getting my business.

    This is by far the worst company I've ever purchased anything from and I've purchased from China and third world countries. Story goes as follows: I bought some items from them, I received a tracking number and a few days later my items showed up. I figured okay, I can buy more items from them so I did. Received my tracking number xyz for my new purchased and it came a few days later but it was missing 2 rollers. No big deal right? Wrong. I sent them an email on 04/11 because of course they don't have a phone number you can call (should've been my first sign). I received a reply on the 15th that they were going to resend me the whole track system again and that tracking number will soon follow. I immediately replied and told them that there was no need to send the whole order, just send me the missing rollers.

    On the 20th I received my tracking number but guess what? It was again xyz (second sign) but I didn't noticed that trick until 05/05 so I again emailed them to let them know that I hadn't received my missing pieces and that they have me the same tracking number once again. On the 6th they replied with the "correct shipping information" but again it was xyz (third sign) but I once again trusted that it was a new number... wrong... 05/20 I emailed them once I realized that I still don't have my missing pieces and that they again gave tracking number xyz. This time I wasn't as nice but they were quick to reply so I was happy about the quick reply only to find out that the tracking number was once again... you guessed it, xyz.

    I brought an item to return for a credit check that I bought and paid for and they took the item and said it was a high theft item and since I didn't have a receipt they were going to keep it unless I could come up with the receipt. This is nothing short of criminal theft by taking an item that I bought in the store out of my hands. I was able to prove I bought it and received my credit slip with much to do. I am reporting this to the Attorney General Consumer Fraud and starting a class action lawsuit. Don't do business with this unscrupulous, unethical company!

    I'm reviewing Menard's online ordering. We ordered a part about a month ago and the website indicated the part was in stock and would be shipped soon. After a few days we received an email stating the part was backordered and we'd receive shipping information as soon as the part shipped. Several weeks later, with no indication the part was being shipped we purchased a replacement at another store. The email arrived a day later saying the part was being shipped. Now, when trying to return the part. We’ve been notified by Customer Service "Please note that a 25% restocking fee and a return shipping charge of 11.53 are applied to returns." No other online retailer would even think about changing 25% to return merchandise. This is the first I've dealt with Menards and will be the last. Menards seems to be the Frontier Airlines of home improvement stores.

    I found that to be extremely insulting to be accused of stealing when I went there to buy something with my hard earned money. I do not appreciate being asked a question like that when I am not a thief, never have been and never will be! Most likely the next time I buy lumber will be at Home Depot or some other big box where I'm not accused of stealing For absolutely no reason other than simply going there and paying for something. This is not a good business practice and certainly not the best way to treat your paying customers Menards.

We had to go back inside and get refunded only to be told the refund would take 3-5 business days to be put back on our credit card!! All around awful experience. Not all people have that kind of money sitting around and not one employee was concerned with the issue.

    I called Menards in Mt. Pleasant MI to double check. At first I was given incorrect information, the guy answering the phone just made up an answer. I asked if there was a charge for curbside pick up if a person was disabled and couldn't wear a mask. First he said that they no longer have curbside pick up, you have to go around back to the lumber yard, then he said, "yes, there is a small fee". So that's when I asked him to check with his manager. THERE IS A $1.40 PER ITEM FEE to pick up merchandise if you are disabled and cannot wear a mask! The orders plainly state that you have to wear a mask unless you are medically unable to. Also, when you check out, if your mask moves ever so slightly, the cashiers stop what they are doing and ask you to adjust it, they refuse to continue unless it's perfect!

    I purchased a Backyards Creation fire table last year that has a top that has now disintegrated. The rock style top has began flaking off rendering the product unusable. If children and pets were to ingest this flaking material it may cause choking. After reaching out to the store I was told that there was a one-year warranty. As this was the floor model with only a price tag on the top, I was not made aware of this. The manager even recommended "painting" it. This is not my first fire table like this. Our other one with a similar style from another vendor has been perfect for years. While I am horrified at their service, I am more concerned about the safety issues this can cause. My hope is that bringing attention to this will cause Menards and their vendors to change the product to become safer. It only takes one incident to become a tragic accident.

    We ordered and paid $11,000-$12,000 upfront to order all plywood Medallion cabinets through Menards on Nov. 26. The invoice gives an expected delivery date of Jan. 6. While we understand COVID makes operating a business challenging these days, in no way were we prepared to wait an extra two months. Our scheduled delivery is March 8. Things happen, we get that. But what didn't happen was neither Menards nor Medallion did anything to see how we were doing or to warn us the order was running significantly late. Worst is the Menards salesperson who in response to our question about where's our cabinets in late February threw up his hands in defense, basically saying once they take our money (payment was made to Menards) they have nothing to do with the order and we the customer must word directly with the manufacturer. So disappointing. The manager apologized yet the issue is the same.

    Menards sells cabinets but does not provide continued customer service. One cabinet arrived by surprise a few days ago. After days of waiting, we finally received a call Feb. 26 to schedule the March 8 delivery. I was pushed into making some important decisions on the cabinet purchase which meant redoing the order later in the day. I think the quality will be good based on the display and that we paid extra for all plywood, yet I can't recommend people go there. Small cabinet stores will provide better followup on orders, and when it comes to kitchens and baths, it's so important to communicate so people aren't inconvenienced longer than necessary. I feel there was no concern nor sympathy that our order is arriving TWO MONTHS LATE.

While we considered this a long wait, we were willing to do so because we were planning to be gone from the home for a good portion of that time anyway. After returning to the residence and checking in with Menards a month and a half later on the as yet undelivered merchandise, we were told it would be another two months before they could deliver because they were waiting on component parts from China to actually manufacture the dishwasher.

    I received a Kawasaki power washer for father's day, back in 2019. Used it once in 2019 and it worked well. Then in 2020, went to use it again, and the metal pipe in the wand had cracked. Took me almost two months to find a replacement wand, even Menards didn't sell the correct size. I had to be put in contact with a rep from All Trade Tools, the supplier for Menards, for the correct size products, which cost me an additional $40. He admitted to me that for a couple dollars more, Menards could have had these power washers made with better piping, that wouldn't crack in the winter months, but some account nixed the added cost. When I got the new wand from All Trade, and put it on, then a pipe in the motor unit broke, spewing water everywhere. I felt bad for my kids.

Rather rudely, I might add. I asked to see the manager and was told by her that SHE was the manager. On my way out, I asked another employee who the manager was, and was directed to a completely different person who confirmed that the female was NOT actually the manager, that HE was. Once again I explained my issue to him and was told to leave, again, rather rudely. I even tried to show my documentation for my disability, but was told that it's private property and I had to leave.

    This is actually my second time having a problem at that store. A few years ago I was injured by a piece of steel in their yard. It took over an hour before anyone found any kind of first aid kit, and then it was only a band aid. I ended up wrapping my sock around my leg to stop the bleeding and drove myself to the hospital.

    My name is Luke W, and today I visited the Menards location at 1301 Sand Lake Road, Onalaska, WI 54650. I served my country in the United States Marine Corps from 2003 to 2007. I have been in treatment within the Veterans Affairs system for various psychological health conditions. I have significant issues with restricting airflow or obstructing my ability to breathe. My health is something I do not feel I should have to share because of my rights to privacy. But because of how I was treated at Menards today, I am compelled to explain my conditions.

When I explained I had various health conditions, the employee responded that Menards had no exceptions to their mask policy, and I had to wear a mask. I continued to refuse and explained my conditions yet again. I was told I didn't have any health conditions, which, as you are probably aware, is discriminatory and offensive to anyone who suffers every day with mental and physical difficulties brought about from service to this nation. This disgusting treatment by the Menards staff was my tipping point and the reason for this letter.

I am offended and appalled by Menards' practices and plan to tell anyone who listens to how I was treated. I will never again spend money at Menards.

    Menards does not enforce employees wearing masks correctly. I was just at the Menards at 2700 LAKE COOK RD, LONG GROVE 60047 and I noticed a good percentage of their employees were only wearing their masks over their mouths. This is the same as not wearing a mask at all. So, you need to take extra precaution and stay clear of these people or do not go to this Menards. When people only wear masks over their mouths, they are breathing through their nose. This is how people breathe normally. One of these people was operating one of the registers where people check out. We happened to be in this line and did not notice this until we got up to this person. I immediately asked the person to put the mask over their nose. They would not comply with this request.

    I asked several times. Then I finally told them I would go speak to the manager of the store. I did this and pointed out the person that was not wearing their mask correctly. The manager seemed oblivious. I then told him that a good percentage of their employees were not complying with wearing their masks correctly. It was like talking to a wall. I did let him know that I would be putting this incident online. Again he seemed oblivious. My advice to people is, if you want to stay safe then you should avoid this Menards.

    Just witnessed the store kick out a disabled veteran with one lung for not wearing a mask. He tried to show them his disability papers but they treated him like horribly. I tried to take up for him and was told to leave too. I told the manager That man lost his lung fighting for our freedom and she clearly said she didn’t care what he did. This store is definitely anti veterans and anti American.

    Wow, what an experience I've had shopping online at Menards. This is my 1st time going through their website and getting goods delivered to my residence, via UPS. That there should have been my first red flag. UPS says that it delivered my package on Tuesday, July 21st at 3:04PM. Well guess what, I was at home sitting & anticipating the delivery of said package all day. No one, with the exception of the mailman, had rang my bell, or knocked on my front door. I also hadn't received a notification informing me that the delivery had been made, as I usually have with all other previous online deliveries.

    I've made several attempts now to contact Menards through their online email & have not heard back. I've submitted a missing package claim on the UPS website as advised by their upper management team. I've reached on Menards Facebook Messenger page, still ignored. There's no 800# that a customer can reach them on. I've run out of ideas in how I can someone to look into this matter. I will never ship Menards again. I don't need the headache. Guess it's back to Amazon I go.

    Relatively new to our area, this place is amazing. Great deals, selection and rebates! Excellent source for hard-to-find woods, like maple & ash. If they were closer, we wouldn't shop anywhere else! Their tool and paint areas are especially noteworthy. They are also requiring masks, which I believe to be appropriate (other home improvement stores do not).

    Naperville Menards at 715 Fort Hill Drive Naperville, IL. I went into the garden center for two ferns and three flower arrangements and I was denied my sale because my mask was beneath my mouth. I was maintaining 6 feet from everyone, talked to no one and avoided people like the plague because I can’t breathe with the mask on especially in the heat. I understand there is policy, however it is not a law to wear a mask and I was nowhere near anyone or endangering anyone’s life.

    The girl at the outdoor register had already rung my order up and all I had to do is hand over the money and she had another employee ask management if they refuse sales to anyone not wearing a mask. She rung me up and then said, "Sorry, no sale." The other employee made it a point to be really loud on the phone so I could hear him, too. I don’t appreciate that intimidation.

    To date, we have spent almost $15,000.00 this year on our contractor card alone and to be treated like this over a non law when I was not near one person is uncalled for. Perhaps it’s because I’m Mexican?? We have spent almost $50,000 on behalf of our business in the last 3 years at Menards and I feel that this was a non issue when my items were rung up and almost paid for.

    I am leaving a review online for Google, Yelp, my Facebook page and any other review outlets to let everyone know that after I called and spoke to the manager Brian ** and not getting a satisfactory resolution, that they might want to consider Home Depot or Lowe’s like we have been considering. Thank the Illinois governor for that! We already spent almost $4,000 at Home Depot this year so far. Singling out one customer over a temporary policy is beyond ridiculous and I am not the only one who won’t be shopping at Menards after this.

    I up until today went to Menards in Belleville MI 1 a week and today was the worst I've ever been cheated and lied about at any store ever, today is 6-14-20, we arrived at menards about 5:35 pm walking in to the garden center we (my self and fiancé) wanted a bird bath for the yard, after we loaded up the bird bath I Rachel ** seen some lawn stones/decorations, seen the army one (I am a army veteran) and wanted it, figured meant to be since I was actually interested on the U.S. Army's birthday.

    It was on top shelf so my boyfriend moved it but I just decided to go get help or even ask if they had more because of a chip at bottom so I went and found an employee Kaylee who was just restocking the shelves (please check camera on her activity because this come in to play later in experience) so I ask her about the stones. Show her the picture I took because the one I wanted was oval shaped compared to the others and wanted to confirm why.

    We were talking and walking. We get to the end cap and she sees the sign/price listed as $12.99 but she doesn't say that it was wrong immediately until she whips out her little price check scanner tool and tells me it's $29.99 and immediately removes the price tag sign as she is doing she blames it out the people who put the display up didn't remove, so I ask, "Since it's miss marked do I get it for that price stated?" "I don't make them calls," (but did not offer to say, "Hold on, let me check with the manager and see what we can work out"..There was a chip). No. After she states she don't make those calls she walks away, goes back to same area she was working and she left me just standing there unresolved issues, so I tell fiancé I will be right back.

    Guess I have to check with manager, I walk to customer service check out and explain the situation and showed the picture. They stated it would have been different if I just loaded and paid for it then I would have got it for $12.99 because was mistaken and then she states, "I will call the manager." Ask the car were was Brittany. She stated she was helping at returns, so coincidently Brittany walks up moments after and I go through my issue then she rebuts stating that Kaylee was working on display and got called off to sweep up a mess per Kaylee.

    (I'm assuming Kaylee called but couldn't call a manager to ask a question for me but could call in give her story before I had even arrive up front to find manager). I said, "No actually Kaylee was not. When I found her she was stocking/straightening items," here is the amazing part, the manager Brittany stated right to my face, "I actually looked at the cameras and she was sweeping," which unless camera viewing is hand held there was no physical way Brittany could have reviewed the cameras because all this transpired in 3-5min. But Brittany stated she would not honor the price, in last six weeks have spent $1000 bucks in the belleville mi store.

    Please research our purchases and the cameras so you can find that I wasn't lying and that you have employees apparently not doing what they're supposed to and the killer thing is that the encap was fully stocked so there would have been no reason for an employee to return, they just failed to pay attention to detail and not remove the bad price tag..

    2. I was not able to order the needed amount of each item but it was just one per order.
    3. At the end of the ordering process, there was a "processing fee" and the amount of it was increasing rapidly as the order goes without me adding the extra items just going through the order cart.
    4. there were no options to pick up the ordered items from the store but curb service.
    5. the shipping fees were absolutely ridiculous (.

    Therefore, I have to start the whole process somewhere else from scratch.

    So as a customer of Menards for many years and buying many things from Menards I have never had an issue like this before. I have been treated with courtesy and felt that if there was an inconvenience it was able to be resolved with great customer service. Today was not one of those days. Ultimately my wife bought a brand new (in a box never been touched) tiller from the store in Baxter today (4/19/20). She brought it home and I went to go put it together for her.

    The first thing I noticed was how destroyed the box was. It didn't look like it had been open, but there were tears/holes and tape holding the box together. The first thing I did was take it back to the store and since it was the last one and so beaten up I asked if we could knock a couple of bucks off it just because it looked like it had been dropped and taped back together. I was put in touch with Stacy the store manager. I stated can I get a couple of bucks off of this, if so I can manage anything that might be broken. I never opened the box and Stacy stated that we could swap it for the floor model. So I asked if the price could be lower on that at all as it is a floor model and not brand new, out of the box, never been touched.

    I was given the answer that it was not possible and all she could do was swap out for the floor model. (Maybe I am out of line, but when you buy something brand new, if it comes in a box it is brand new in a box, not taken out unless it has been agreed upon to do so.) I even asked if I could get the extended warranty that menards offers as my wife did not buy that and Stacy stated that she couldn't. So she opened the box, (now I am stuck with an open box item, not brand new) and told me that there was nothing broken on it an that it was fine.

    She again stated that all she could do was swap for the floor model or I could keep this one. So I shook my head in disgust and went home with the one in the box hoping that there wasn't any damage. My wife and I put it together and took a video and pictures of us unboxing it. When we unboxed it we noticed that there was a dent in the exhaust shield along with a big scratch, there as a big scratch on the brush bar in front of the motor, scratches on the underside of the dirt shield, and a big crack in the paint on the handle bar (at the weld point). We documented those things and put it together after which we noticed that the right handle bar was bent (explains the crack in the paint at the weld point.).

    So I called back and talked with Stacy, I asked when they would be getting any new ones in, she stated there was none on order, but again I could have the floor model one. I again asked if there was any mark down for a floor model, 10% or anything? She stated that she could not and that they didn't mark down floor models for power equipment. I stated that I have gotten floor models from menards before and was able to get a markdown on it as it is not Brand New untouched in a sealed box from the factory. She stated that only her GM could I asked if I could speak with him and she connected me with him. His name is Jason, I got the same answer and was asked to bring it in to have it checked out. (We are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and less being around the better, I informed him that this was important.)

    He stated he could get some pictures of it to. So I took some pictures of it and sent it to him. After some issues with emails and pictures he finally got them and we talked. He stated that he talked to Stacy about what it looked like when she opened the box. Jason stated that Stacy told him the exhaust shield could have had a dent in it, but she didn't see if the handle bar was broken. (From the way it was packaged it would be hard this) Well she had told me that there was no damage to it the first time I brought the unopened/damaged box back to her.

    Now she says the exhaust shield was busted. Jason then continued to say about the handle bar being bent that because of what Stacy had said he didn't know if it was that or if I had damaged it during unpacking. (I have a video of us unpacking and picture of the damaged box, the corner of the box that was damaged the most is where the handle bar was and the exhaust and where all the damage was.)

    I asked if he was really going to play that card? So we continued our conversation and he didn't raise his voice, but did not seem to be to concerned about it and again reiterated that I could come have the brand new one that was on the floor in the store. I again reiterated that his idea of brand new and my idea of brand new were not meshing up because brand new to me is untouched out of the box (preferably an undamaged one). So I reluctantly agreed to drive and swap out for the floor model. To which I am about to go do. Very disappointed in Menards this day!!

    I visited the Hollister, MO store on 4-5-20 and I was very unhappy with the customer service. As I run a local business I spend a lot of time in my local hardware/supply stores and I feel the treatment I got yesterday was not only uncalled for but was quite ridiculous for a company with the reputation of Menards. I spent several hours in the store gathering supplies, had carpet cut to fit and rope cut plus a few hundred dollars worth of merchandise. When I went to check out I inquired about a price match on an ice chest, I had found it online for 10 dollars less than it was on their shelf. The cashier (David) called over a manager (Steve).

    Steve introduced himself as the acting GM, looked at the ice chest on my phone and told me he wouldnt match online pricing. I explained that I understood, even though that's not what the sign said, but asked him if he would match it this time since I already had everything else and didn't want to stop by another store that night. He told me it was 10 minutes till they close and he wasn't going to be matching online pricing. I asked him for a customer service number and he told me that he didn't have that and I would have to look it up online.

    I found it to be really bad business that I couldn't even get contact info for customer service so I told him I didn't want any of it if that was how he wanted to handle this. He told me that was fine, pulled my buggy (that had a few hundred dollars of precut merchandise) around the other side of the register. Then he pulled out the cold drinks from the top of the buggy and put them back into the cooler in front of the register.

    Not only was he rude, refused to price match and refused to give me a customer service number but then - in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic - took cold drinks that I had touched - the cashier had touched - and he had touched and put them back into a cooler for the next customer. He didnt even wipe them down. I was appalled. I have made a lot of purchases in Menards, typically I prefer to spend my money there over Lowe's or Home Depot because of the customer service. After this encounter I see Menards in a whole new light. I was dismayed that a company would have an acting GM that treats customers in this manner.

The response I received from Rebates International was they were on sale and not eligible. How can they advertise this and not honor it is beyond me. In addition over $700 of the HI stuff I bought in November wasn't on sale, still no rebate. If you want to challenge any claim you can go to arbitration against them but that will cost you ~$200. Sad they treat people this way. I will be filing another complaint with the BBB along with pics of me mailing in my rebates from February.

    Menards in Olathe, KS. On 3/28/20 My wife and I went to purchase a 54 inch wide laundry room cabinet, window film and a lighting fixture totaling over $220.00, for the most part everyone was friendly and professional up to the point after checkout when the courtesy attendant Noah wheeled the pre-assembled cabinet out to my truck to help load, once loaded he then proceeded to tell me that I could not park in the back of the parking lot and berated for 15 minutes. I called and spoke with MOD Lisa who informed me that she would take care of it.

    The next day I ran out of window film and Menards was the only store in town that carried it, I reluctantly went back to the store and soon after I walked into the store Noah saw me and started to follow me around at a distance giving me dirty looks which I ignored. I got home and opened the packaging to find out it was packaged wrong at the factory with a different type of film. Again I went back to Menards quickly walking thru the store hoping to avoid Noah which I was almost successful until check out, there was Noah waiting to confront me again about the other day.

    At this point I sternly asked to see the MOD immediately, This time I spoke with a Manager named Jenny. She again assured me that it would be taken care of, not one of them apologized for their employee's UN-professionalism and to make things worse the customer service hotline is a number to tell you to mail or fax your concern or complaints in. It's clear these employees are allowed to harass customers and there is no accountability. I will more than likely not be back to menards again in fear of what Noah will escalate things to next. Menards, I'm so disappointed. I really used to enjoy shopping at your store, but I can not support a company that allows their employees to treat their customers in this manner.

    Me and my wife went shopping around to choose some cabinets that will hopefully last the rest of our lives. We settled on cabinets at Menards versus Lowe's and an Amish shop. So the Menards employee in the cabinet department took our order for The Rustic Hickory looking display they had and assured us that what we were getting would look like the display. This was my wife Christmas present. Her birthday is February 1st so before Christmas we ordered the cabinets. We were told it would take 2 to 4 weeks for them to get in. I was informed that they had arrived so on her birthday I had my adult children come over and we went and pick the cabinets up and took them to our house and proceeded to remove the old kitchen cabinets. Once our kitchen had been stripped down and the old cabinets basically broke up for disposal.

    We took the new cabinets in the house and began to unbox them. They were not rustic Hickory. Did not look a bit like the display. When I called Menards and ask them what was going on they said that those cabinets were made out of Young Hickory. So they would not have the The Rustic look as we were told and showed by the display cabinet we bought them off of. Our cabinets were approximately $2,600. I was told if I wanted The Rustic look it would be an additional $2,000 and we would have a 25% restocking fee for those cabinets that I was returning unless I bought the new cabinets at Menards. So we went ahead and paid the extra $2,000 for the new cabinets and saved our 25% restocking fee for their mistake.

    When the new cabinets arrived finally after I had to haul the old cabinets back to the store they did me a favor and gave me free delivery for my trouble. Problem is their employee sent the new cabinets to a different Tim ** who lived in a different town. So then they called me cause nobody would answer the door at that address in the different town. They had my phone number not my address. I don't understand. Later was told that the employee looked in the phone book to find a Tim ** and sent the cabinets there. By the time they got back to the store it was too late to deliver them that day which we had waited now an additional month with no kitchen in our house. Then I was was told that I would have to pay for the delivery for the second time.

    When they did deliver the cabinets they were two cabinets short and they said they would have to reorder the cabinets. As I was putting the new cabinets in I realize they had mistakenly ordered three 24 inch cabinets and one 22 inch cabinet when it should have been 3 22 inch cabinets and one 24 inch cabinet. I was then told they'd have to reorder those. After I brought the other cabinets back they reordered the cabinets and then after 3 weeks called me and said they were in. I arrived at the store to find that only one of them had come in. The other two had been shipped to a completely different state Indiana rather than Illinois. Then they said they'd have to get those ship to the store in Forsyth Illinois or I could drive to Indiana and pick the two cabinets up. Again we waited for another three weeks.

    When they finally came to the store Forsyth Illinois I went to pick the cabinets up and when I went back to order my countertop the manager of the cabinet department was there. And this was my second conversation with him. The first he basically said that he felt it was my fault that the wrong cabinets had been ordered in the first place not his employee who told me that they would. He even wrote on my sheet they were rustic Hickory look cabinets. This second exchange did not end very well as far as I'm concerned. The man is lucky he still has his teeth when I told him that all through this ordeal he had not once said that they were sorry. I had not been able to get ahold of the corporate complaint or anything because of the way Menards has their system set up it is to avoid any disgruntled complaints from customers.

    When I made the comment that he had not once mentioned that they were sorry he looked at me and said, "Well how's this for you. I'm sorry you feel that way." Again he's lucky I didn't react in the way I felt but I can't threaten anyone or else this won't be published. I have found through all my research trying to get some satisfaction for all the mistakes made and all the time spent without having a kitchen that the owner of Menards has been sued over and over again. He has no concern about either his customers or his employees. It's no wonder they're the cheapest place to go because they have the worst service and worst quality there is.

    I'll never go back to Menards anywhere again. I know that most people will until something like this happens to them because it's obvious that the owner of Menards it is not a corporation. It has a single owner and he has no intention of ever satisfying a disgruntled customer. He could care less about any of his customers.

    Waited more than 8 weeks to receive my rebate. Only to find out after making numerous non toll free calls to be told that they never received it and probably got lost in the mail, Can't be serious. How many other customers did they use this excuse with. Wanted me to mail copies to an address. WHY don't they issue the 11% discount when the customer pays for their items? WHAT A JOKE. They figure that half the people will not bother with the mail in forms or else forget about it entirely. WILL NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN.

    Usually everything is fine at Menards. However, their pickup stinks. Tried to buy a light on Sunday, but shelf was empty. Clerk said no more in back. Went home and found it online and ordered it, You Pull-Pick Up at Store. For this privilege, we were charged $1.40. They mysteriously had this light the next day, and confirmation e-mail said to pick it up from its normal location in store. Went there yesterday, walked to the department, but there were none on the shelf, so time wasted there. Clerk in department checked on it and said it was in the back at Pickup. So in addition to wasting time going to the department, I had walk all the way to the back, on the other side of the store, to get the light. And for this privilege, I paid an extra $1.40. Menards, take note: Walmart does not charge for Deliver to Store, and pick up is conveniently located in the front of the store. Not happy!

    I have purchased Old Mill 5 pocket lined jeans from Menards store in the past and was very happy with their fit and quality. The jeans I received from Menards during the last online purchase of the same mfg and style number are not anywhere near the same product. There is no manufacturer name, tag, or signature pocket stitching on them even though they were advertised as the same maker and style number. The material is not the same, the fit is not the same, and the signature stitching and name tag is absent on the product anywhere. I expressed my concerns to the customer service representative and was told that I received what I ordered and they charged me $24 to return them. The product was falsely advertised, and the product received was not the same as previously purchased.

    I reviewed the return policy prior to purchase and it says nothing about paying return shipping, just that items may be returned within 90 days of purchase with receipt...and no mention of responsibility for return shipping. Very misleading!!! Had I known this I would not have risked the online purchase...I am being charged over $24 to find out that this product is not as advertised, not what I expected when I placed the order, and not even made by the same company as advertised. I received items that were not manufactured by the company as described, and not the same as previously satisfactorily purchased from Menards. How very misleading is the return policy and advertising on this product.

    If the item has the same mfg and style number, then as a consumer you would expect to receive the same items...not the case here. I understand it may be a difference in mfg design, but that is not the consumer's fault and the consumer should not be held liable for receiving a different product than they are accustomed to from previous satisfactory purchases of the same mfg and style number from the same retailer.

    This is like receiving a pair of Nike shoes ordered online without the name Nike on them, or even the company logo Swoosh, and telling me that it is made by the same company and is just a mfg difference. No it is not a Nike product without the Nike name or the Swoosh. Even the cheap clothing purchased at Walmart has a Mfg name on them!! Just like all Levis have a Levis tag and the signature pocket stitching on them...just like Wrangler has the Wrangler name on them and the signature "W" pocket stitching on them. But these jeans had no manufacturer name or the signature "M" pocket stitching like all other Old Mill jeans that I have previously purchased do...therefore I can only assume they are not made by Old Mill, but are falsely sold under the Old Mill name.

    There is not a clothing product sold in any store that does not have a single Mfg tag, name, or signature of some sort on them. Telling me these are Old Mill jeans is an outright lie and complete Bologna!!! Do not purchase from Menards and expect a quality product made by a name brand mfg or to be able to return their junk products without exorbitant return fees!! Their Customer Service department is a misnomer and is laughable because they do not service the customer or even pretend to care about a bad shopping experience.

    Beware of Menards.com Policies. I used to live near a Menards and thought the store was pretty good and the prices were decent. I have moved far away from any Menards store and so I decided to use Menards.com and have the product delivered. What a disaster!! I ordered about $500.00 of their brand Patriot low voltage lighting. First they charge a handling fee of about 5% for the privilege of buying from them. They charged 3% more on sales tax than my state sales tax.

    When I got the order it was packed haphazardly and many things were broken. You can't call them, so I emailed and waited. Finally got a response to send pics. I did, then waited. Finally they sent new lights (3 weeks). Now a few months later one of the lights went out (5 year warranty). They will not replace it unless I bring it into the store. I said that I live 400 miles away!! They said, "Order a new one and send the old one back." What?? Spend more money?? Then they said. "Fill out some form and mail it in." I did and it's been almost a month and no response. I tried calling the phone # for Patriot and found out that it was only for parts. I continue to email with no response. Now, either I leave that one light out and my landscaping lights look ridiculous or I have to replace all of it. They don't make anything easy when you try to use their website and need the product shipped. I won't do it again.

    I place a $4700 flooring order online and $500 of that was for the delivery. The flooring was deviled to a warehouse about 40 min from my home. The delivery company then called to find out if I could unload the truck. I stated that no I was not able to do that (I am a 120 pound female) and that it was not an option. They said they would have to get Menards to approve the right equipment to be able to get it off the truck and into the garage. Great. Well then a week went by with no correspondence. I called the delivery company and they said they reached out to Menards with no response as of now. So I called and after a few hours was able to speak with someone who I was able to correspond with both companies via email and get the approval, approved. Great.

    Nope not so much. The delivery wasn't able to go out until Monday (after we took the previous weekend off to put the floor in) and when the driver arrived in a full size semi (my driveway is paved, skinny and about a quarter mile long) he explained that he could not drive down the driveway and rather than sending a derivable lift they just send a truck with a lift. He said it would have to be rescheduled. They called me later in the day and asked if tomorrow would work. I said yes and thought it was good to go. Nope, not at all. Menards then said it would be another $365 if I wanted it delivered and I said no way. They are now trying to keep my $500 and cancel the order so we shall see what my credit card company thinks of this but I will never purchase anything from this company again and do not recommend anyone else to either.

    I recently placed two on-line orders to be picked up in-store. In order to get the items and quantity that I wanted I had to order from two different stores, neither of which were my local store. So naturally I chose the two that showed my desired inventory available that were the closest to where I lived but were still a good hour plus drive. When I arrived at the first store to pick up my order one of the items was incorrect. It was a hassle and a rather time consuming process to correct the issue and I was the one having to fix it. The employees were not very nice about it and it was the store's fault it was incorrect, not mine!

    Then off to the second store. This time I ordered 7 of the same item but when arrived to pick up my order they only had 3 of them. Said their inventory showed they had all 7 but it was incorrect and that this happens sometimes. But yet I was charged for all 7 items! And again a hassle to get corrected. Had I not paid attention and checked my account to know what was actually charged to my card ahead of time they would have let me walk out of the store and not have even have thought twice about it!

    Long story short, it cost me a fortune to fix all their mistakes. It took almost a year of fighting customer service to get my kitchen done. I was given NOTHING for the troubles they caused. Menards ordered my cupboards wrong three times, they over charged me on the returns, I purchased a fridge which was defective and froze all my groceries. The delivery company ruined my new floors when delivering the fridge and broke my door. My cupboards still don’t fit and they have refused to fix anything or offer discounts.

    I contacted John Menards who apologized and then passed me off to customer service supports who asked me to fill out a ton of paperwork. I went through all of this and they said they wouldn’t give me any compensation because “they don’t compensate for inconvenience, delays, or incidentals.” It cost me a fortune to fix all of their mistakes. I am a widow, single mom, teacher, and good citizen. They took full advantage of my kindness as I dealt with all of it. I got robbed.

    We chose to go with Menards for cabinets we were purchasing to finish our basement. This was due to the price and delivery time. We were quoted 3-4 weeks after purchase for delivery. We purchased our cabinets on Nov 23rd (Saturday), and were told we would received a phone call in a few days to verify our production and delivery window. Here we are over a week out and NO PHONE CALL. We checked the website and our estimated SHIP date is now January 11th! This is almost 8 weeks from our purchase date. Double the estimated 3-4 week window we were told in the store. We understand due to the holidays the shipping date would fluctuate a little but this should have been addressed to us before we purchased our cabinets.

    Now we have to put our contractor out almost 3 additional weeks due to the cabinets being delayed and therefore delaying our project completion even further. In addition, since we don't normally shop at Menards we were not advised the rebate they offered us was for IN STORE CREDIT until after we purchased the cabinets. We figured we could just use the money to purchase other items for our project however, that does not come in until 8 weeks AFTER you mail it in!! So now we have a huge in-store credit that we cannot use! Home Depot would have been slightly more money but we wish we would have just gone with them as they were honest with us about delivery time and we save the money on the cabinets upfront. We have learned our lesson and will not be recommending anyone to purchase cabinets from this store as the shipping is NOT 4 weeks!

After receiving email confirmation we realized that it wasn't a Blackstone but a Char-Broil. Nowhere on the sign did it say that. Talked to the store and they could not cancel the order. We were told to do that online. We went online and followed Menards' process to cancel. This all occurred within 15 minutes of ordering. We searched and searched for a number to call and cancel but could not find one.

    The next day I followed up with another email, same online process to cancel asking for a response. I got one saying, "Sorry we ship fast and it's special order so it can not be canceled." (In the meantime we had already purchased the one we originally wanted thinking the first was canceled). I was advised I can return it with a 25% restocking fee. We are beyond frustrated with Menards. We always want to support local business. This was actually cheaper (not by much) on 2 other sites.

I selected the one I wanted, went to my shopping cart and then paid for it. I then went to the store to pick it up. When I went to install the roof it was to big. I put it back in original packaging and took it back to the store where was refunded all but 20% which they kept because they said it was subject to a restocking fee because it was a special order.

    I didn't know it was considered a special order? So when I got home it just kinda bothered me that they kept $60+ of my money! So I went back to the website and retraced my search. No where does it say what I was ordering was a special order or subject to a 20% restocking fee. I returned to the store and asked to speak to a mgr.

They sent me a response that said they have contacted Menards and suggested I should be hearing from them and should consider accepting any settlement afford. Menards responded and pretty much said to bad zdx o sad! So ... I own a company and I could or would not charge an excessive fee without informing the consumer that what they are purchasing if returned would subject to a 20% restocking fee. I truly don't understand why Menards wouldn't reach out and try to make this wrong right! But I think it's bad business! Fyi I have screen shots of each screen to prove that nowhere does it say I was placing a special order. I thought I was ordering from the store.

    We enjoy shopping at Menards because there’s such a wide variety of items to choose from. The prices are good, and the sale prices are good, too. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The store is clean, and it’s in a great location.

    The Menards 11% off promotion is in the form of a rebate that has to be used in their stores, not cash. Therefore, everyone who makes a purchase qualifies for the rebate. The rebates cannot be done electronically, and the rebate forms are not kept at the check-outs. Instead, a customer needs to check out and then go to the customer service desk for the rebate form. I commented to the cashier, "Wouldn't it be easier for customers if the forms were just kept at the check-outs?" She responded that Corporate doesn't want them to do that. I can only assume that Corporate hopes the customer forgets about the rebate and doesn't apply for it. Then it is more money in Corporate's pocked.

    My second issue is that the rebate has to be physically sent through the U.S. Mail. It cannot be submitted electronically. Yet, if you make a return for one of the items, the computer system knows it. Then why are they inconveniencing customers with having to mail it in? They already have the automation in place. It is just another ploy in hopes that the customer does not send in the rebate. Also, it costs the customer 55 cents for a stamp for maybe a $2.00 rebate. Ethically, Menards is missing the mark. And is it really a rebate if it is on the form of a certificate that has to be used at their stores?

    My first and last visit to Menards. A huge portion of the vanities are special order. Everywhere you look it tells you 1 week delivery on special order items. I ordered a vanity that was special order on September 30th. Only AFTER I placed the order did it tell me the estimated delivery date would be 10-14. That's a long way from 1 week. I immediately emailed their customer service. I'm still waiting on a response from them. On October 1st it shows me the order was processed. On October 9th it shows en route to a distribution center. Today is 10-14 and the status still shows en route. I tried to call the shipper via the number shown on Menards' website and that is not a valid number. Then I called the store. After 3 minutes of a phone ringing someone finally answered. That person was unable to give me any information beyond what I could see on their website. It's still en route, supposedly, but no one seems to know why or when it will be delivered.

    This is just horrible customer service. I feel like going back to the store and trashing every single sign they have that says "1 week delivery on all special order items". I wish I had read the Google reviews prior to going there or I would have known it's all a shame and average delivery is 3 to 4 weeks. When you are using an item for a project, that is not an acceptable timeline! I'll not be back to Menards again once this item is finally received.

    Worst return policy I've ever experienced. I purchased a lawn mower form Menards on Saturday and after bringing it home to mow the lawn I soon realized that the lawn mower was idling high and low continuously and then shutting off abruptly. On Sunday I brought it back and they refused to return it because there was gas in the mower. They suggested I go to a repair center near me "at my expense" to see what was wrong. Then and only "if" the repair center deemed it a manufacturer's defect will they return it. I will never buy ANYTHING nor would I recommend anyone else buy from Menards ever again. BTW Home Depot has the BEST return policy. I have returned thing 30 days later without a problem.

    I purchased a product and never actually picked the product up, it was a larger item and wouldn't fit in a car, so I needed to find a means of transportation. I ended up not needing the item so attempted to get a refund. However, the return date had passed and I was only offered store credit, even though I had never picked up the item (an in-stock item, no special order). I can understand the store only allowing store credit to a customer when returning an item past the return date, however I don't understand this when you never took possession of the item. Also the store credit can only be used in store, there is no way to spend it online.

    Ordered a bathtub with drain on left side online to be picked up in store, and was charged a "processing fee" to do so. Had to enter store to show paperwork, only to then be directed to drive truck around back to pick up bathtub. When tub was un-boxed by contractor just before installation we discovered Menards gave us bathtub with drain on right side. Back to Menards we went with bathtub, which we had to bring inside store, to exchange. Frustrating... "We Pull- Pick Up at Store" is less than convenient and does not justify its "processing fee." Save yourself aggravation and fees, and just go to the store (where they'll have to pull large items for you anyway).

    Zero customer service except an email system (no phone calls). On 8/16/19 I ordered almost $2,000.00 worth of closet organizers for our new home. At the time the order was placed I made it clear in writing NO SEMI TRUCKS, small box truck only for delivery. I received an acknowledgment from Menard’s Customer Service via email that that would be no problem. My credit card was charged immediately. Weeks later no delivery. I sent numerous emails that went largely ignored. FINALLY a delivery date was set. On September 23, 2019 the truck arrived...A SEMI! The ABF Freight semi could not make it up our driveway and became lodged in our gates. A heavy duty tow truck was summoned.

    In the interim, I contacted my local Menards in Bloomington IN (30 minutes away). After speaking with the Manager it was arranged to have the truck driver once freed from our driveway to take our order the the Bloomington Menards store where it would in turn be delivered by a smaller truck. After blocking our only access to and from our home for hours a heavy duty tow truck arrived to extract the truck from our gates. (PHOTOS AVAILABLE) By then it was past 7pm and getting dark. The driver stated he would not deliver our order to the Bloomington Menards. He returned to the ABF Freight Co. But not before apologizing for getting stuck and stating that our order would be forwarded to the Bloomington Menards and that we should receive it in a couple of days.

    Days later no delivery. I emailed Menards, again, and was told “it was already delivered”. I replied “no” and proceeded to type an email yet again explaining the situation. The response...”Oh, yeah, I see that now. It shows here you refused delivery and want to pick it up instead”. At this point I’m typing another email informing Menards that NO, I did not pay hundreds of dollars for shipping and special packaging so I could pick up an 8 ft. long 800 LB. pallet of closet organizers in my Toyota Corolla!

    Moments later I received a phone call from the Menards in Greenwood, IN, which 3 Counties-1 hour drive away)..."We have your order here and want to know when you are going to pick it up?” I yet again explain the situation and asked why my order was sent to Greenwood when the Manager at Bloomington and I had arranged to have it delivered there (?). I was then told that my order was delivered to the Greenwood because it was more convenient for the trucking Co.-ABF Freight.

    It was then arranged for my order to be delivered Wednesday October 2, 2019. On Tuesday, October 1, 2019 I receive a phone call... “Hey, this is the area in Greenwood. I have you down for a delivery October 3rd and 4th. Which day is it?" It’s been 6 weeks since Menards received my $2,000.00 and I have not received my order, nor have I been contacted by any supervisor. Further no attempts been made to compensate me for this debacle.

    They pretty much stole my gutter covers that I tried to return, didn't have a receipt as was about 3 months ago and for a project, but figure I tried to return it as policy stated don't need a receipt, figured worst case they refuse it. I don't go to Menards store more than 3 time in the last 2 years, never done a return before at any of their store, or have a history of it. Yet get treated like a criminal, all due to the fact that I tried to return gutter covers I bought back 2 to 3 months ago and lost the receipt as was for a project and ended up getting new gutter completely which came with covers.

    I get the fact if they refuse to accept them back it well within their right to as stated in your policy. What I have a issue with is they stole over $700 not $600 as paid at the time $125 not $99 per box of my items. They have no right to hold, or take my items and not issue me a refund, or store credit. Keyword "Never done a return in that store period." This was my first time and to get treated like this is very unaccepted. I am not letting it go as now principal.

    I just had unused gutter cover sitting in garage that I empty out over the weekend as did a massive clean out and figure since their policy stated you can return without receipt just ID that I tried at least to see if I could get at least store credit for them and worst case they won't accept them back and would have been fine with that, as get no receipt means for possible refusal. I get that fully. It is the fact that they took the items and won't give them back even after I demanded them to is what have me upset and about to take legal recourse if I have to go that route, even if it cost me more than the gutter covers.

    I attempted to buy some steel roofing material for a shed online. After selecting all the items and viewing the total charges after tax of approx $500, I hit the submit payment button. I received a confirmation that Menards had billed me $806 when I very clearly approved $500! After reviewing the total it appears they added a returnable pallet to my order for $100 and they doubled the quantity of panels I wanted. Note: I was picking the items up in store and had no need to take possession of their $100 pallet. I called the store and spoke to 5 people, going around in circles and finally a manager. The store said they couldn’t do anything until the material delivered, then I could return it, in two weeks.

    The manager told me to call the online customer service on the contact me section of the website. I went to the website, couldn’t find a phone number, called the store again who told me indeed, they don’t HAVE a phone for customer service, only the email address. I emailed and asked to cancel the entire order, I was told I would get a refund to my bank account but the refund amount in the email was short by $1.74 of what I paid originally. I asked for a FULL refund of the total order, was assured I would get one... 4 days later I finally got refunded but... NOT for the total 806 that I paid, only for $804.

You name it, if it’s unethical, rude, or your basic rip off scheme, they engage in it. I’ve lived here since before this store was built and had more bad experiences than good ones. Their plants are always half dead during the growing season, their tools are overpriced and poor quality, and their food items are often outdated and just gross. They sell milk and dairy but do not keep their coolers at the correct temperature. So following safety guidelines is obviously not a priority for them.

    I have had the worst experience with the first and only online order I've made with Menards. I ordered 8 packages of 4 lights per package of recessed lights. I ordered on Sat., 8/17/19 and set it up to be delivered to my work place which was to be Wed., 8/21/19. I saw no movement in the FedEx system after the label was created. I asked about it thru emails thru Menard's website and received no response for 3 days. I eventually received a generic canned response 3 days after my initial email, 1 day AFTER the package was supposed to have been delivered. They told me the package was currently shipped and should be delivered by Sat. Aug. 24th.

    My place of business is closed on the weekend so that meant I didn't get it until Monday, Aug 26. Those emails should have at least apologized for the delay and explained why I didn't get my package when I should have first received it. Nothing was mentioned about any problem, just that the package was showing shipped.

    AFTER I gave up on anyone responding to my two email requests, I called my local store. Thru phone calls at my local store, they directed me to call the store that my package was supposed to have shipped from, in Wyoming, MI. I called them from the number my local store gave me. They checked and saw the package was still sitting there in their store and hadn't been picked up by FedEx, 4 days after the shipping label was created, 1 day after it was supposed to have been delivered. They told me they've been having issues with FedEx not picking up their packages. Even if they were, someone at Menards should have seen this package still sitting there AFTER it was to have been picked up and been on the phone with FedEx letting them know they hadn't picked up the package. Had it not been for my phone call, my package would still be sitting there today.

    I received the package today. I was greatly disappointing in the poor packing of the box I received. It was shipped in a poorly mangled paper towel box. The box was very beat up. All padding inside the box was just on the top; nothing on the bottom. The first of the 8 boxes I picked up from within the packing box, all 4 lights in that box dumped out on the bottom. The bottom of its box had been opened and not taped. Another thing, nowhere on the shipping label or packing slip did it have MY NAME, not anywhere. My place of employment did not know who the package was for. I PLACED THE ORDER, NOT my employer. My name SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE LABEL! My email confirmation shows MY name and in care of my employer’s name and address. I will never order online again from Menards. This was a horrible experience.

I have on several occasions seen three of them standing around their counter watching me search for a part for ten minutes, and never will one of them come over and ask if I need help. Then when I go ask them for help, they usually don't know what I'm looking for, or where it's located. If you are lucky enough to be there on 1st shift, and it's not a weekend, they will go find the only person that knows anything about that department, if he's not on vacation.

    The inventory & order tracking systems have made beginning and finishing my fence project nearly impossible. I have wasted a lot of time and money navigating the inefficiencies in the customer ordering process. First, the delivery charge of materials were about $80, and I immediately noticed that I would like to add additional materials. I called the Menards to see how to change the order. They suggested placing another order as in-store pickup in order to avoid another $80 delivery charge for a couple of items. They agreed to make a note that these orders were together and should be delivered at the same time. I made the mistake when the online ordering process changed my location to different store than the original order. I noticed the issue immediately and tried to remedy the situation. It took several phone calls/emails (~4hrs of my time) to first only receive half of my refund.

    Upon further follow up I was able to receive a full refund less a $3 "processing fee." Furthermore several pieces of the changed order were never delivered, but the online system suggesting that I had "picked them up at the store" (which never happened). It took several more phone calls/emails to be refunded money for items never received (~4hrs of my time). Next I needed to purchase and pick up the remaining fence pickets to complete my project. I went to a store near my house, and purchased the pickets using a gift card in the store, then drove to the lumber yard to pick them up. However, they were never found to physically exist. I was instructed to go back into the store to be given a refund. Since it was a gift card, I was given "in-store credit" only (~15 miles driven).

    The next day I found some pickets at a store about 25 miles away. I tried to purchase online to reserve the pickets, but the "in-store credit" that was originally a gift card could not be used for online orders, so I decided to drive out there to make the purchase in the store. When I arrived, I was told that they were most were just sold and 11 still existed. I went through a similar process as the day before (physical inventory did not match computer and received in store credit). I asked if they could either order more or find another store where they physically existed. Their system showed that the store I went to the day before had physical inventory. I shared that I was doubtful, and they said that the store would do a physical check and call me in 15 minutes. It was suggested that I begin driving over there because it was about a 40 minute drive. On the drive I was told that the inventory did not physically exist (surprise!).

    Apparently a couple other customers were having similar issues with this product that made their 1970's dated inventory system show incorrect information. I asked if they could simply order them for delivery since I was not able to use the "in store credit online." Then they shared that I needed to go back into the store to be able to place the order. They could not do it "over the phone." After being passed around (~10hrs & 50 miles drive), I still can't finish my project. I have no trust that the any store will help, and I will be wasting $10 packaging fee + $13 shipping fee just to avoid working with these inefficient outdated stores ever again. This brings the total waste dealing with Mendards to about ~18hrs + $25 + 65 miles driven). Sometimes it is better to just cut losses and find one of the many more suitable competitors. Please do yourself a favor and avoid (unless you physically see exactly what you would like to buy at the store I suppose).

    I was issued a store credit today for a return without receipt, it was for $151. I went to use it same day and was told I had to go online for some receipt lookup that got me nowhere. This is the second time I have been issued a store credit but was not able to use it. This company rips people off! I love the store and have been shopping here a lot but knowing how much they have ripped me off for at this point I won't be back. I need to know if there is some other way I can report this to a news station or something, I am at a loss and out of this money.

    I placed an order for two culvert pipes after walking the length of the store twice because no employee that I asked knew where anything was. Then after paying for my order ($576.00 worth ) when I went to pick it up the pipe was gone! The manager's remedy was to return it and come back later. I live two hours away, not an option. They had a who cares attitude. I will probably never shop this Lancaster Ohio store again!

    We have had multiple problems with the Menards here in Terre Haute, IN. The majority of the employees are young, rude, and lazy. Today I purchased an LVL that I went to the yard to pick up, cut, and load into my truck myself. I was charged a $9 handling fee for the forklift driver to pick it up and drive it 40 feet to my truck. One manager told me that the cashier might be able to remove the charge. When I asked her if she could, she got other employees involved (5 total) and called a security guard to her register. I never once raised my voice, cursed, or said anything mean or rude to anyone. I just refused to pay $9 for nothing.

    When all was said and done, another manager showed up who I had dealt with on another occasion who was extremely rude and wouldn't listen to what I was trying to say. All the while, a security guard was standing by like I was some kind of criminal or troublemaker and the other customers who were going through the line while I was waiting for an answer had to know that the guard was called there because of the situation. I am in the process of building a home and have taken all of my business to the local Lowe’s store because of the terrible quality of lumber and the terrible service at Menards. I recently purchased over $7,000 worth of lumber from Lowe’s which they delivered for $20. Menards just charged my almost half of that for a forklift driver to move one piece of lumber 40 feet. A piece of lumber that I had to load myself!

    We bought cabinets from Menards a month or 2 ago and it has been nothing but a complete disaster from the start. First off they told us our cabinets would be ready in a week and a week and a half passes and we had to call and ask where our cabinets were (keep in mind we currently have no kitchen), then our cabinets arrived and 4 cabinets were completely busted and ruined when they got delivered, next they screwed up an entire layout for a wall and when we came in to get it fixed they tried to charge us EVEN MORE money to fix it!

    Next, they told us something that would work for our cabinets and come to find out it’s not going to work at all and we are now stuck and STILL aren’t even close to having these cabinets done and the worst is they have yet to offer us any type of refund or anything!!! Now have to wait until corporate opens in the morning to hopefully get things straightened out! I will NEVER purchase a single thing from their stores again!!!! Beware and NEVER buy cabinets from them!!!

    I ordered a pressure washer on their online store for store pickup at Crystal Lake. My credit card was charged and was told to go to the store where it will be ready for pickup. However, it wasn’t ready and in fact sold out. Looking dumbfounded in the hardware department as to why the product I paid for was not there, the GM agreed to give me an equivalent spec’d product for the price I paid even though its price was higher. I thought this was an excellent example of customer first and future loyalty on my part for only a few bucks loss on that purchase by Menards. I never got to meet that General Manager as I had to escalate it through the hardware manager but his action gave me a lot of confidence to continue to purchase products from Menards. I am sure if ever there is a problem again, they will resolve it. As I was leaving, I told the hardware manager I would write a good review, so here it is.

    Menards customer service isn't... It is indifferent\unresponsive, inept, unskilled or untrained, innocently or intentionally. I've searched the web and read other reviews of Menards which are unfavorable and now I can support and add my views & experience. Frankly, my voice will be merely one from the chorus – BBB reviewed Menards and Menards earned an ‘F’ from BBB with this prevalent comment: The business responded to the dispute but failed to make a good faith effort to resolve it.

    I'd summarize their service or lack thereof as "institutional indifference" combined with a lack of familiarity with products and service. Staff of Menards hardware, Hardware Associate Buyer, Menard, Inc. as well as Menards “guest services” are unwilling or unable to write a reply to written requests, form a response or simply acknowledge a written contact in a business-like fashion; i.e., indifference and simply unresponsiveness, either intentionally or innocently.

    My dispute? Trying to get what I paid for. The product was shorted on contents, not all parts and pieces were included in my shelving unit. I started trying to get replacements 10 days ago but the supplier was and is the wrong supplier Menards referred me to and Menards has not answered me at all despite cc of 14 email exchanges with the supplier – the wrong supplier and two hard copy letters to Eau Claire corporate offices. “Save Big Money at Menards” is because they don’t spend it on service representatives or customer service. I'm a simple customer with a simple problem that Menards has botched so badly Menards picture should be next to the Urban Dictionary definition of FUBAR. hardware@menard-inc.com, guest@menard-inc.com

    I ordered a microwave online. My email said to go through the front door to pick it up. I had to ask someone where the order pickup desk was. It was in the back of the store. The guy threw my microwave in a cart. I pushed my cart to the front of the store. I had to go through a checkout line to leave. The checkout person went to ring it up. I told her I already paid for it and showed her my receipt. I had to tell her I would need help loading it in my car. I waited and no one came so I went to my car and struggled to get the 55-pound microwave in my car. I called the front desk manager and he didn't even care.

    I ordered a shower enclosure online from Menards. I could have ordered it at other stores. Menards was shipping the fastest so I choose them. I ordered on the 13th and delivery was for the 20th. My contractor was needing the pan for the the enclosure to start work the 21st. On the 21st I tried to cancel the order. It had not shipped and they gave me a new date for the 26th. Now Menards is charging a 25% restocking fee and shipping return fees. You can only email the online orders. No number to call and talk to a human. I kept emailing for a supervisor to no avail.

    I called my local store and they said they were sorry but online is separate from them. The shower was $1200. This is a huge amount for me to lose of my hard earned money. $400 plus shipping. I wish I had read these reviews before I purchased the shower. I will never do business with Menards again. My contractor already purchased different shower to get work done. This is truly maddening not to be able to speak with anyone at Menards. Emails seems to have the same replies no matter how many I have sent.

We have been waiting for a week now without any resolution, they just return automated emails with information that is not solving the issue. If you place a special order with Menards, better check that everything is exactly what you ordered, otherwise you're in for a nasty experience.

    I ordered 30 bundles of shingles online from the Sioux City, IA store. We have two properties; I entered our old house address as the shipping address and our current house address as the bill to address on 6/21/19. The site stated the shingles could be delivered the next day, 6/22/19; so I selected it. The shipping department from Menards called me about an hour later and said that the delivery truck would not be available on 6/22 because it would be in the shop; but they could put it on the truck today, 6/21. I told them that would be fine. About 3 hours later the driver called me and said he couldn't find my house. He stated he had my current house address and I told him that wasn't the correct address and he told me to text him the correct address, so I did.

    I didn't hear any more from him, so I called him back about an 1 1/2 later to see if found the house okay and he said he took it back to Menards and didn't even attempt to deliver it. He was very rude! I went to the store and spoke to the manager and she would not listen, just stated that was the only address they had. I advised her they needed to check their online ordering because something was wrong with it. All she kept saying is they've NEVER had any problems like this and that I would have to pay another shipping fee to get it delivered. I told her to forget it! It was the most frustrating experience ever!

    I bought two bottles of Buggins bug spray last week. The package was delivered last Thursday with only one bottle enclosed. I've been trying to get the second bottle sent to me since that day and it's been nothing but a fiasco. Nobody replied for 4 days. Then I was asked to send a picture of the one bottle I received. Now I'm waiting for them to decide whether or not they are going to make it right. If ordering multiple quantities, I urge you to choose a different vendor--one with a reputation for quality customer service. That way, if the their employees cannot count past 1, the company will make it right, not make it your headache. I will NEVER order from Menards.com again, even if it means paying a little more elsewhere.

I have spoken to 5 different stores and online no one knows about. Will never buy from them again. They had their chance and they blew it. When you buy stuff online, it's buy at your own risk because you are not going to get a response. No wonder they are small they cant do business right.

    This review is about their online service. On May 28th I ordered a stair nose molding from their website. I paid more in shipping than the item cost which is fine because I needed it for project I was to start in a week. A few hours later I get email package shipped via FedEx. Great should be here soon. After 3 days I check FedEx website which shows label was created but not shipped. I wait 4 more days. Check FedEx again. Still say label created but no travel. So I contact customer service via Menards website. I had to do this twice because no response first time.

    Second time a Dan ** responded and gave me a new tracking # and said my item shipped. Ok. A week passes and I check new tracking number. FedEx says same thing, label created will update when they receive item. At this point I order the molding from another vendor which arrived in 3 days. I finish my project with other vendor item and the Menards order NEVER arrived. It's now June 13 and FedEx website still shows only label created. So I email Dan ** and fill out their online form to cancel order form. Dan ** emails me back to let me know I can get a refund but less shipping fees... on an item that was never shipped! I will be calling my credit card. I'm done dealing with these fraudsters. Do NOT ORDER ONLINE, it's a CON!

    I ordered wastebaskets online just because they no longer sell them in the store. They held the package for days after the shipping label was created before sending out. Finally get a confirmation that it had been delivered but it was not there. After finally locating the package I was waiting on it was covered in small bugs and not even the item I ordered. Tried many of times to email and call but had to leave messages which never got returned and they would not get me to a live person when calling the switchboard until I threatened to dispute the charges.

    A lady comes on the line requiring me to send pictures proving it or she won't do anything for me. After days of trying to get a hold of someone I was not getting off the phone without it being resolved and I'm not going to carry an item that I didn't order around with me. I told her better yet she could send a return shipping label and have the product back but she still refused to do anything without a picture sent to her. What happened to customer service these days because Menards sure doesn't have any.
