Be aware. Seven Corners Hardware's website has no inventory control. They will confirm your order and then modify or cancel it without telling you.

I ordered a bunch of abrasives, about 20 items. Only one of them shipped. They never warned me, never gave me options, never communicated any of this. If you order from them, don't plan on getting what you ordered and be careful. In my case I saved $18 and had to pay $11 in shipping for the privilege.

 
Thats why in the the states I only order from guys like Bob, Tom and seam, Phil, Aldo or I go to my brick and mortar and order it through them
 
If they're liquidating then there's probably a handful of temps doing everything and they're not going to care about whether or not they're any good at a job they're guaranteed to lose in a month. Those clearance sales can be great in person but they don't really ever translate into a positive online experience.
 
If you wanted to know what was available, you should have called them rather than ordering online. I (and others) have posted here about their dwindling inventories and the fact that it's all manual and the website is NOT kept up to date.

I was there again last Thursday and picked up some oddball stuff - plastic sheeting, electrical items, etc. I *did* get a good deal on an 18' double-sided stepladder for in my shop, and some snap-up aluminum scaffolding that they had buried in a back room that no-one ever sees. If it had been out front it would have been gone long ago, I'm sure.

There are no corded power tools in stock - ZERO. There were a few air tools, but nothing I wanted. They also had a couple of Panasonic and Bosch Cordless display tools left, along with a charger or two and some accessories.

They had a half dozen Festool items as I recall - some foam pads for the RO125, a router collet (don't remember the size - sorry), a saw blade for the AT65, and some other small parts that I don't recognize nor remember. They had a few boxes of sandpaper - no Granat, but some Brillinat and Rubin in a couple of sizes.

They still had a few saw blades, some router bits, a few Stabilla bubble levels, quite a few fasteners - collated nails, staples, and the like. Some signage ( I remember seeing PowerMatic and Delta) but no Festool signs as those were all reclaimed by the mothership.

They had a fair assortment of Klein and Channellock hand tools still. They also had TONS of hardware - nuts, bolts, screws, hinges, straps, clasps, turnbuckles - you name it.

Hope some of that helps someone if you're still interested. But don't wait around if you want something - the store closes forever on Friday, May 24th.

That's so funny - I probably ordered about the same stuff you did right off their website.  It was on the weekend and I thought I'd better hurry and get my order in right away.  I did call the next Monday to confirm and that's when they told me most of the stuff was gone.  There was only one person left to update the website and that they were overwhelmed and far behind.  I also only got one box of abrasives, but I was happy that I got something!  The irony is that just before I found out about the closing I was trying to get a new catalog since I hadn't ordered anything from them in years.

There are third party contractors that handle the final sale of inventory  and fixtures for  a % of sales or just buy the lot and sell it as fast as possible. Since their bad name is not usually shown they do not card about custometr service or the goood name of the store they are currently located in. They are  trying not to  have the very smallest overhead expenses possible. No customer service and not returns or refunds.
 
Stopped by there again this afternoon. Not much left -

No tools - hand, power, or whatever.
No ladders.
A few oddball bits and scroll-saw blades

There is apparently a bidding war of sorts going on for the remaining signs. I am kind of hoping to get a piece of an old beam or something before the building comes down this fall.

I was offered what appears to be an original toilet. I passed.
