I am considering placing an order from McFeelys Hardware. I want to hear any rants / raves / compliments / complaints ... whatever, that you may have and are willing to share. I should say I'm not interested in starting a name calling thread but rather an informative one for all interested parties.

If you have something that you feel I need to know and it is 'questionable' as to whether you should post it up here, please PM me with that info.

Thanks in advance.

edited to correct the spelling of their name. Duh on me.

I have purchased from McFeely's several times. They have good proiducts and good customer service. If they happen to be out of stock on an item, they send it later at no additional charge.

I have been ordering square-drive screws (I seldom use any other kind any more) and assorted other fasteners from them for at least ten years. I place an order a couple of times per year and it is usually for a couple hundred dollars or so worth of stuff. I like to keep a good stock of fasteners in the shop.

A good place for a decent range of specialty fasteners. Never a problem. I have never hand to send anything back or get engaged with CS after the sale. I don't recall "backorders" or any of that nonsense that is all too common elsewhere. Their stuff is good quality, prices are market-rate. I would rate them as excellent among mail order WW-oriented firms.

Wow Roger, thats a lot of fasteners! Thank you for your opinion, I think I'll go and "mash" that 'proceed to checkout' button. Some fasteners and some Festool stuff.

I've only had one experience with them. I needed a small order of specialty deck screws for some composite lumber, that I was using for a special project. Anyway, they were out of stock on the smaller quantity packaging and only had larger quantity containers.

The sales person said they would break open one of those boxes and send the amount I needed. Long story short, I never received the order and when I called to ask about the shipment the salesperson couldn't explain what happened. I canceled the order and found the screws at another company in the quantity I needed.

Brad,

Have been ordering from them for years. Top rate company. If you are looking for Festool, contact our own Bob Marino, then you will see what great customer service really is.

Bob,

Thanks. Oh, and I already did call "Uncle Bob" and spoke with him for quite a nice little chat. He IS top shelf, thats for sure. And he helped me very much and put me on a mission that landed me where I am now. Great guy.

McFeelys,

For screws, what a pleasure.
We use screws by the thousand
And Mcfeelys allows me to remain slow and forgetful.
I need something, it's here 3 days max.
"
'round here its a three day drive in a bad neigherborhood
to get specialty screws,so, tip a da hat to Mcfeelys for
Quality and service.

I've ordered from them 8 or 9 times. Always pleased with the product and services. I ordered a confirmat bit once. It broke after 5 or 6 screws. They sent me a new one at no charge, no questions asked. They have since changed the design of the bit.

I have placed several orders with them and always been pleased with their fast and accurate service. I consider them one of the "good guys" among vendors.

I, too, have ordered several hundred dollars worth of screws and other stuff from them. One of the better companies, in my opinion.

Just an update. Placed the order, received the order (very quickly), everythings fine (as in everything was shipped and packaged well) and price was as promised. McFeely's appears to be a very good place to shop. This won't be my last order, thats for sure.

I know Jim, the owner of McFeely's personally. He's an upstanding man from whom you can buy with confidence.
