Although Amazon is great, these guys are better. A well stocked store with knowledgeable employees, this store is always there in a pinch in the middle of a project. From the smallest screw to replacing torn window and door screens, Village Hardware remains your friendly neighborhood hardware store. And really how can one complain about the prices given the rents charged in East Hampton! Sure I could have purchased that $0.50 O-ring I needed to fix my power washer from Amazon for $5 for 225 pieces, but do I really need 225 of them, and to wait several days for it? Another example, I searched for hours to find a part on Amazon to fix a handheld shower head, but hmmm what key words to search for when you do not know exactly what the part is called. Last week, walked in here told them my problem and within a minute I had the part in hand to fix it. The part is called something so generic like "on-off shower valve" I would have never found it and realized it was the correct product online! Lastly I should mention, the gallon of furniture stain I ordered from Amazon, which took 2 weeks because the first shipment was damaged in transit, and then the replacement item finally arrived with the bottom of the can dented on one side by several inches, meaning the can could not sit upright while I was staining furniture, and I had to pour the entire can into another bucket. Some things are just not meant to be shipped!
