[QUOTE="drl2, post: 7787751, member: 6983130"] I [I]want[/I] to avoid HD for that very reason, but it's hard to do! Lowe's and HD are pretty much the only places left to go if I need appliances, hardware, etc. and don't want to buy sight-unseen (or with shipping costs and delays) online. The HD and Lowe's in my town are just about next door to one another so it's easy to check both when I'm shopping for something... and HD is far better than Lowe's in actually having what I'm looking for in stock, often at better prices. I had to quickly replace a failing refrigerator a couple of years ago. Would have bought from Lowe's but they couldn't get it to me without a wait of nearly a month, while HD would get the same model to me for a few $ less in under a week, and going without refrigeration for most of July just wasn't an option. While I was in the process of ordering one of the employees bragged about how HD had recently signed some sort of exclusivity agreement with a number of shippers and/or manufacturers - essentially contractually locking Lowe's out of the market for people who need an appliance on short notice. Which made me want to buy from HD even less, but still... July. Ice cubes. In HD's defense, though, I will say that an old friend worked at Lowe's for years and switched to HD, and she claims that HD is a vast improvement from the employee's viewpoint. [/QUOTE]
