I went to Lowes today to buy 10 wall outlet timers. Inventory said they had 70 in stock. Electric dept manager said they were in the back in pallets but he was short staffed to find them so he price matched the much nicer $12.99 ones for the 6.50 ones I wanted.
Try that happening online.
You lucked into a good deal. Nice. Right place at the right time.
You could have also been lucky enough to have found a similar deal on Cyber Monday with Amazon’s Lightning Specials.
“Try that happening online.”
That has happened with me online but on a smaller scale. Example: Giving to me 36 extra large eggs for 12 jumbo eggs but charging me for the 12 jumbo eggs. Similar things with milk and other dairy products.
I do not need any wall-outlet-timers. ;-)
However, I have found that Lowe’s products are of higher quality than Home Depot. The downside? Lowe’s donates to the dims. The upside: Home Depot donates to the Repubs.
Lowes has the worst inventory system of any big box retailer.
I like to purchase online and then go pick it up at the local store. I cannot count the number of times I have ordered something from Lowes and then been told that, even though their website says the local store has several in stock, they don’t have any and won’t for a week or more. I have never had that happen with Home Depot, Walmart, or Office Depot.
