Everything here is extremely fair priced. Theyre have everything from fabric, nails, toilet replacement parts, paint, chains, shirts, you name it. I normally go here for fabric or hardware such as chains and metal rings to make jewelry. I always leave with a big bag and a small bill. Would definitely love to see this place thriving for years to come.

I purchased some interior wall paint from here (white) I got it home and stirred it up and started painting and it had a yellow tint to it so I took it back and the lady wouldnt low me to return it or exchange it . So the guy from the paint section came over and told me not to listen to her and asked me if I wanted my money back or store credit, I told him store credit was fine and he allowed me to exchange it . I was pleased with paint the second time, thanks guys

Love the bargains! Staff is on the rude side every visit. But, the bargains are worth having a snippy cashier. Fabric, paint, assorted tools, cheap solid color tshirts and sweatshirts

Love this place....it has changed since I started going there 20yrs ago but for the better..... they have the usual hardware selection but many times it is cheaper than the other hardware stores.....my favorite thing is the oddball parts that no body stocks.... you need a black iron tee 1/2x1/2x3/4? They do. Bolts by the pound? Aluminum diamond plate already cut into pieces? Fun to walk around and see what you didnt know you needed.....but I miss their barrel of mistake monogrammed ballcaps for $1

If you like to make things, or spend a lot of time fixing/maintaining things, this place is a gold mine. Every time I go in here I find merchandise that gives me inspiration for projects.The staff have always been pleasant also. They make sure to ask if you need help finding something.

Im not a big fan of the place. I have seen it since it was two separate buildings and over the years the prices have gone up while the quality has gone down. It seems that over half of the items down there I can find elsewhere for a lower price and superior quality.I do think that they have items that you will find no where else and those items are beyond compare in quality. Overall it isnt a bad store and most everyone is friendly and helpful.

Review №48

Not enough staff, not wearing masks, excuse me the employees were wearing masks, but a lot of customers werent and they were not enforcing what it says on their door that a mask is required. Its never going to change or get any better until people quit being bullheaded and just do something that could quite possibly save their life or the life of someone they Love.

If they dont have it, you probably dont need it.

I had an enjoyable time during my visit. The staff were Extremely helpful with making sure the items I purchased (2 stun guns and 2 dummy keys for my car) worked properly before purchase. The female staff worker showed me how to turn on and test fire the tazers, and the male staff worker let me go try and unlock my car with the dummy keys. I would recommend Surplus City to anyone.

Even though they didnt have what I needed, black fabric electric tape, the staff scoured the store looking for it. I appreciate that. Otherwise, they pretty much have just about everything including the kitchen sink.

If your into crafts and scrapbooking this is a good place to go. Lots of odds and ends in plumbing I found that the bigger box stores didnt have.

If you are into crafts or just have a few hours to peruse through odds and ends this is the place to be. Reasonable prices and a huge variety of items.
