They may have a customer service number but it would be closed now. As a whole they are m - f something like 7- 4 I would imagine. You may try contacting one of there stores but if you place an order with them your going to pay sales tax also. 

 

Or try again in the morning. 

They did not charge me sales tax.  But then again, I am in California where they do not have a brick&mortar store.

As is customary with online sites, generally only if the seller has a physical presence in the state that the buyer is from should that state's sales tax be collected if there is one.

And when you get to that number, they will direct you to either send snail mail or email and explain your problem in detail. You will have no contact with a human being.  I have tried to contact Menard's on different issues during this year and have had this happen each time.  Good luck, you will need it.

 

   If true, that's a shame. But I did make phone contact in the past year. The site wouldn't work for me either, I just ordered at a store in the long run 

  I don't do buisness without talking to people anymore. When I encounter lack of "people" I move on.  I just dont want too much that badly. I dont care for the excuse of "other companies do it" either. 

  I bet that the actual ordering can't be done by voice & phone for internet tax loopholes to apply, nut lack of phone contact and /or "hiding" it, is just cost cutting apathy concerning customer relations and unfortunately, imo it is becomming commonplace in buisiness.

That said, wait two days for slow updates and fixes and try again

He explained to me that because it was being sold in a store in WI. he had to charge tax. I wasn't dealing with a online site ( which you do when you order from the on line site )  I was dealing with an actual Menards store. 

A trick I use everywhere: Being polite, but firm, disappointedly ask for the store manager, ask for "a phone number for corporate", then relay the issue to the manager. Asking for headquarters phone number usually wakes up a lackluster manager with drifting thoughts. Done in person with a tie on, folks start jumping around saying " sir" a lot. 

Thanks to everybody that replied. The 1 800 number is for a capital one credit card, and I did send an email from the website. My wife ordered my Christmas presents from Menards and it was sent in two different boxes. The second box had issues and she tried to call and get it resolved. She was getting frustrated and I posted here. 

Cabinet Bob, I will try that email. 

Thanks again, 

Bob

Try: 

  1. Menards Customer Service, Phone: 1-800-871-2800 - think it is a M-F number.

This number conected to "Big Card customer service" (i think thats what was said); never heard of it.

"Big Card" is what they call their credit card.  I get tired of the cashier always asking "Will you be using your Menards big card today?".  Sometimes I just say no before they finish asking.
