Deer Lake Home Hardware Shopping Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Exceptional Customer Service: You’ll encounter consistently friendly and helpful staff. Multiple shoppers highlighted the staff’s willingness to go above and beyond, including ordering items not in stock and holding them until pickup, contacting other locations to source products (even across a two-hour distance!), and offering assistance with locating items elsewhere.
- Competitive Pricing: I found some items to be cheaper than Canadian Tire in Corner Brook.
- Unique Selection: The store carries a range of products not available at Canadian Tire, making it a worthwhile alternative.
- Wide Product Variety: They stock items like ATV batteries (although calling ahead is advised), flooring, rust paint, fold-up chairs, and a comprehensive selection of off-road vehicle parts, apparel, and accessories.
- Reliable Ordering System: Their system for ordering unavailable items is efficient, typically taking one week for delivery.
- Rob Clarke Motorsports Integration: Deer Lake Home Hardware is associated with Rob Clarke Motorsports, offering snowmobile rentals and a large off-road selection.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Phone Service: Be aware that the phone system can be unreliable. One shopper experienced excessively long hold times and eventually gave up.
- Sunday Closures: The store is not open on Sundays, potentially inconvenient for out-of-town visitors.
- Lack of Plexiglass: As of the time of these reviews, there was no plexiglass at the cash registers, a potential concern for some shoppers regarding employee safety.
- Limited Availability: While the selection is extensive in some areas, they may not always have every item in stock. Calling ahead is recommended to check availability, especially for specific items.
