Don't buy from this company!
Tried to order one bag of poly foam backing from DK Hardware. The woman taking my order, texted me the invoice before I paid. The bag of foam cost $4.99 and weighs less than an ounce.
Luckily, I looked at the invoice that showed 4.99 for the polyfoam backing AND $165.00 for shipping!
Justin Bennet, customer relations, texted me in a message last week. " Can you tell me what happened" After explaining to him what happened, I never heard back from him.
I sent voicemails and texts to this guy.
Justin's position as customer relations is a scam as well.
My experience with him only shows he is interested in taking care of corporate and not the customer. You are a bad reflection of your company the way you handled this. Continue to hide
Behind your answering Machine Justin!
Great job Justin!
Bought a lock on the website is very miss leading how its coming up its only the part of the lock and not the lock itself only parts which was overpriced as well and they would not send me a return label so dissipated
These guys advertise one item and deliver something else, then won't provide return mailing and want a 20% restocking fee. They are impossible to deal with after they make the sale, even though their advertising is fraudulent. Stay away!
I ordered an item in September, which I knew had to be made and I knew there would be shipping delays….
Almost into new year and I still don't even have tracking info and my representative Paul B. Has completely ignored countless emails.
My customer is livid, I'm livid…. Don't do anything with this company if you depend on results.
Made an order for one item. Got an email saying "order would arrive soon". Five days later I went on vacation for a week, came back, no order, no email update. Kind of forgot about it for another week as I got busy at work. Checked the web site, item is "On Order". Got on live chat and some bot (I assume) just instantly replied to my question about where my order was by saying "Your order appears to be scheduled to ship out at the end of this week." Sure.
Coming back to edit: After three weeks, and literally one hour after this review, I got an email that my item was shipped, and from then on, no issues. Item arrived, was good quality. The item still shows on their site as "In Stock, ships in one day." Just like it said when I ordered it almost a month ago.
If you have any non-damage related sort of issue with your purchase, plan to take heavy losses.
Initial outlay $232… -$75 (restocking fee and return shipping)
Choosing to do business with DK Hardware resulted in a loss of 33% of the purchase.
Stick with the classy companies like Build with Ferguson.
Ordering was simple and my order arrived way before I had expected it to arrive. Haven't used the product yet but, expectations ate it will be good quality based on my experience with this company so far!
The red shower set was/is GORGEOUS! It was well packaged. The directions were explicit and exact.
In addition, my husband and I were impressed that the package included a wrench! This would be so very helpful to young home owners who might not have a tool inventory.
These window hooks match some that are already on our wooden cabin windows, so it was great to find them on DK Hardware. They took over 10 days to arrive. We did not get them in time, so putting them on the windows will have to wait until next year.
Thought my lockset might be taking a little long to arrive so i inquired with DK and they got back immediately and assured me that order was on its way. 2 days later it arrived in excellent condition.
We had ordered a smal amount of hinges. They were delivered in a timely fashion and the order was accurate. Pricing is of fair market value. Will add DK Hardware to our list of prefered internet suppliers.
My extremely affordable items were shipped to me very fast and reliably secure. I will buy from DK Hardware for all my future hardware needs because even Menards didn't have what I needed for the same price.
Product arrived today after being ordered over a month ago. That isn't the issue. There was no automatic communication - as in item was backordered, when it was expected to be shipped etc. When I reached out for information, customer service (Sunil) was helpful. Received an email Friday that it had been shipped and it arrived Monday. Original estimated date of delivery was March 2 and today is March 20. The item does appear to be what I ordered - thankful for that.
Unfortunately they were unable to ship a piece of aluminum framing in the length I ordered. DK staff contacted me promptly and made a single cut to my specifications and got it shipped out quickly. I received the order in plenty of time inspire of the complications.
I tried to place an order online, but the order would not go through. I tried multiple browsers and multiple devices and multiple locations. I called. The rep could not understand English. She seem to have absolutely no idea what was going on. She put me on hold, never came back, and disconnected. I order from Ace hardware for half the price. Run away from these people.
Couldn't find a Floor outlet cover that we needed anywhere. This website had it. I was sceptical of ordering from a site I have never heard of but had an AMAZING experience. The Price was good for what I was looking for, processing time was next day and shipping was fast. Over all Extremely happy.
I received good service and a good product but the order process was a bit of a hassle. Even though I was able to order on the website with my credit card, I was asked to fill out a credit card authorization form and provide copies of my credit card and identification. While I understand this is to protect the company from fraudulent purchases, it seems more risky to the purchaser. I was able to alter my payment method and pay via PayPal.
Placed an order in August 2021. Yes I know we have supply chain issues, so I was forgiving when my "ship in 5 days" item didn't arrive within the first couple of weeks. So I called…. And called…. And called…. Oh and emailed…. Emailed…. Many documented communications with NO ANSWER to why my $1500+ order hasn't shipped. So finally on Sept 30th I communicated via email and was assured it would ship out in early November.
Fair enough…. So I waited. And waited. And here we are November 10th and guess what, no tracking, no communication, I'm just sitting in the dark unknown. So I reach out, which I really shouldn't have to do, and I'm told it will now ship in JANUARY 2022?!?!? Why don't you provide ME and update if you know there is an issue?
Worst customer service ever. Let's see how quickly I get a refund from this subpar company with zero customer service.
I own part of this mix up, but so does DK. I was looking for a black mailbox key and found this on DKH's website: https://www.dkhardware.com/kaba-ilco-1646-xcp10-key-blank-for-usps-mailbox-pack-of-10-product-*******.html. It's a black key right!?! Brass colored keys showed up. I chatted with customer service rep who agreed it looked black. She directed me to drill down into product description and see it's brass colored. Ok, my bad. But the image was definitely black. The keys cost $9 and DKH charged me $9 to ship. In order to get a refund I have to pay to ship the keys back, let's say $3. All this trouble to ultimately take a net loss of around [
~ $12. DKH did not offer any consideration despite their own admission that the image did not reflect the actual product. Sure, it's not that much money, to me OR TO DKH, but there is principle. Do better DKH, get your website squared away, and own your part. I'm just disappointed in this experience.
I buy a lot of CR Laurence products and DK Hardware seems to be the only source for online purchasing. That said, I think it takes too long from order placement to shipment. DK Hardware should study companies like McMaster Carr and Amazon to figure out a way to get products to the consumer faster.
