Strawflower Electronics

If you’re looking for confederate flags, ya know, to honor your southern roots, check this place out. I hear that the big box stores stopped selling them so I guess these guys figured, why not fill the need… ??
Small fabric as well as shiny stickers!
Their selection of other items, actual electronics and accessories, is lacking and overpriced. The 99¢ store next door has some of the same items for much less (obviously). Also, they mark up eBay items like 200%.
For these two reasons, I’ll never spend another penny there.

The owner of this store is rude, and tells misogynistic and racist «jokes». The rest of the staff in no better, except his son. The only reason I shop there is because I don’t want to go over the hill. No more. If I can’t get what I need at Ace or Rite Aid, I will drive the hill. I was in there today, and the owner told me a horrible «blonde» joke.

Expensive as heck, highway robbery, you gotta be kidding. @ least give me some tits to look @ while I get robbed blindly. Go to rite aid in the same shopping complex. This shit is ok, definately not the dollar these folks want ~ Don’t let em rip you off!!!

The customer service here is terrible and the employees are rude. The the products are for the most part out dated and when I went in to have my computer cleaned they somehow managed to drastically reduce the speed of it

Super expensive! I purchased a small clock IN A PINCH that was supposed to stick to a wall with double-​sided tape for 16.95, !16.95! for a cheap plastic clock made in China! I’ll go over the hill next time.

Fairly nice place, and really convenient if you live in the Bay Area. My only complaint is that they’re a little pricey.

Horrible customer service. I came in on Monday, to find out if they could repair my computer that had missing screws and the nice guy said that his tech guy was not here and I should come back tomorrow, and I was fine with that. So I came in on Tuesday and a different guy was there and had a very poor attitude. He accused me and said someone took my whole computer apart and he kept complaining. I told him that was not the case and he said then it must have been dropped. Instead of helping me he was accusing me of what happened to my computer. He told me that it would cost $ 45 to repair and the computer still might not work after it was repaired. I told him okay and then the tech guy came and they were just complaining how much work it would be to repair and how long it would take they said it was «an hour worth of work» and before they would say it would take 30 minutes, now it is going to take one hour, and then he said it might be ready tomorrow. Then after I signed the paper to get it repaired I said it is $ 45 right? Just to make sure it was $ 45 and he said it could be more money and they would call me if it is more money which was very frustrating because he said it was $ 45. When I called them after I left the store, he had a bad attitude, again. He also mentioned again that someone took it apart or dropped it. Then he raised his voice and was rude. He also said it might be ready tomorrow. I said I would take my computer back. When I took my computer back the rude guy would not look at me and the nice guy gave me back the computer and was very polite. I do not recommend taking something in for a repair. I will take my business elsewhere.

I have been doing business here for years, and they have what you can’t
get «over the hill», SERVICE!
These guys are honest, knowledgeable and fair.
Thanks for being there Ben.

Five stars means these guys are exemplary — at the top of their game in computer repair, amazing turn-​around time, ethics and fair (beyond fair) pricing. I look forward to doing business with them again, if I ever need to. I can’t rate them highly enough. You go, Strawflower Guys! You *know* what you’re doing! Thank you!

I have been a regular custoner of this business for thirty years, and have tolerated the rude attitude of the owner (the employees are usually friendly) because I wanted to support a small local business.
I can’t remember the last time I was greeted or thanked.
I’m done. I’ve had it. Yesterday the owner actually yelled at me because I didn’t know a particular detail about my computer.
I encounter enough rudeness in my life without having to actually pay for it.

While staying at the Ritz Carlton for a while, I idiotically decided to climb on of the tiny cliffs overlooking the water. Sadly, the waves decided to get a little frisky and blow me over. My sad phone died that day in my jeans so I was ready to go anywhere possible to replace it as soon as possible. Starflower Electronics had a very very very limited supply of T-​mobile phones. It was between this older phone and a supremely older phone. I was overpriced for the phone I got and wish they had a better selection.
They were very helpful, though, and that took the sting out of having to downgrade with this shite phone.

Strawfower Electronics is a wonderful ‘get it in Half Moon Bay’ resource. Over the years I have saved a lot of time and money finding nearly all of my electronic needs right here, without having to travel over the hill or pay for shipping. Ben, Eric and the rest of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. I can not recommend this store too highly.

Ben and the guys at Strawflower has always been very helpful with me every time I go in. They know there stuff. We are pretty isolated here on the coast and its nice to be able to shop local when we need anything dealing with electronics and cabling. Great job guys.

I’ve just installed my first CB radio in my truck (for off road communication NOAA weather and channel 9 only, honest!) being a complete newbie on this stuff I needed help to tune the antenna. Apparently you need a SWR meter to do this, not something you can pick up at Radio shack. The owner of the store took time to personally come out to my truck in the parking lot and walk me through the procedure to tune my set using the stores own SWR meter ($ 15 to rent). It turns out that I have a faulty ground on the set up. I offer to pay him and he turns down my money, «pay me later when you get it fixed» he says. Now that is customer service, these guys rock. I fact I was so impressed I went back the next day and spent $ 200 in the store on some other electronics I needed instead of going to Radio shack. Support your local coastal stores, they support you!

Four well-​deserved stars for an excellent repair job and advice on dealing with the aftermath of a power surge that fried our beloved Sony receiver of 10+ years. The owner and his staff are experts and dispense advice well, even to non-​specialists like us. They fixed our Tivoli Model One radio and did so at a fair price. There is a reason why local businesses are such important parts of a community like HMB. The range of new and used electronics is impressive. Truly a mecca for all things electronic.

1. Good stock of new items, electronics, supplies, even guitar picks and strings.
2. Their consignment area seems overpriced with oddball items no one would ever want like Used Computer Printers for $ 200+ and ancient TV’s and Stereo gear LOL! I avoid that area.
BUT
3. The owner is a real warm guy, so is his son, it’s family owned. And their both knowledgeable and chill.

These guys have everything and are a wealth of knowledge.

Pretty good selection for materials. I was in the area and was searching for a place that had an Ethernet cord and a AC/​DC car adapter splitter for my IPOD and my GPS. They had it in stock, it is in this strip mall area adjacent from the Payless Drug store. They had a pretty decent selection on computer parts and accessories as well, it’s a good option if your in the area, I combed the streets looking for an electronics shop when I was passing through Half Moon Bay and didn’t want to have to turn around and drive back to San Mateo. The employees here were friendly enough, a little bit on the light side staff wise, so be patient, they’ll get to you as soon and possible, and considering that there aren’t any other shops that cater to this area, their prices are pretty reasonable.
