I'm not a handy person and get easily overwhelmed in hardware stores, but every time I come in the folks who work here truly go the extra mile and are down to troubleshoot whatever problems you're facing. Today I went in for help unjamming a part stuck in my lightsaber, and instead of feeling completely silly, I got help drilling the piece out free of charge. Will definitely use this store for all my hardware needs in the future!

It's the best hardware store in the state. Maybe even in the entire pacific northwest

Hardware Sales's part rep Curtis was able to purchase an item for me from a local distributor that was wholesale only, all while 5 minutes before they closed which fixed my furnace and gave me heat for the night. Thank you Curtis!

Competency and overall quality of floor staff appears to still be high however the competency and disposition of management is extremely poor and appears to be in continual decline. Have shopped here for years to support what HS used to be but am now better off shopping at nearby corporate chains (Fastenal, Lowes, HD Fowler, etc) for better selection and prices along with the same or better management than Hardware Sales. Perhaps it is no surprise that Amy Siniscarco was able to embezzle over $1M funds at Hardware Sales under their watch if this is the new normal of management competency.

Mike Packard is the person to see at Hardware Sales if you need a knife sharpened. He did a terrific job of hand finishing a serrated bread knife that another sharpener had worked on with machine.

Another very pleased customer. I'm usually approached by staff who help me find what I need and offer sage wisdom a long the way. They always seem to have the odds and ends I need to complete a project and alternative ideas for me if they don't. It is such a solid, good experience.

The best hardware store I’ve ever seen. Staff are extremely knowledgeable. Often go there for advice as much as tools or materials.

Overrated and overpriced! Although they do have a great selection of varied items this store doe not deserve it's "customer friendly" reputation. The prices are deceptively higher than other retailers. The on site employees lack basic knowledge of hardware parts and could not even answer my question of what to use to attach two pieces of wood to each other. In Bellingham there is no competition for Hardware sales .They are very stingy with returns and I had to argue with the manager for a $10 credit. I will grant that it is easier to shop there tan the bib box store due to the stores small size.And they do carry various rare parts and equipment.

If I win the lottery, this is the first store I would go to. It’s also the only hardware store that I would ask advice from the staff and feel confident that they know what they are talking about.You could send your wife in here with a random flange or bolt and tell her to ask someone to help her to find the pieces you are looking for and they will.Seriously one of my favorite places to find new tools I probably don’t need or small things to finish the projects I’ve been working on for years.

I brought a screen in to be rescreened. I was told that my metal tabs would be fine to be reused and it should be very easy. When screen was competed cheap plastic tabs replaced the sturdy metal ones and the plastic pieces placed in the corners of screen no longer allowed it to fit in window. One tab broke off immediately and screen folded. Cheap job, poor quality repair. I will never use Hardware Sales again. 35 year relationship out the window. Disgusted.

My favorite store in Bellingham as I could wander the aisles but their consistent tendency to help always sends me in the direction and support I need to handle an old or new (to me) task with the supplies required at a decent price.

I expect better service than at Lowe's. But the staff who are men manage to be not knowledgeable and condescending at the same time. Sigh. So I asked a woman for help and she was even more condescending and more ignorant. This was a little while ago so I do not want to point fingers at anyone in particular. Just please get a clue: listen to what your customer wants, help her find it and we're good. Enough with the mansplaining. Also the store could be better laid out and signage would help.

You know if they sell it at hardware sales it is high quality.
