Lowes recently changed their Mail-Order Military Discount Policy.
Thy used to use IDme.com and MyLowes for Military to get not only a Military Discount in the store but on-line too, one up on HD, but they stopped it or at least that is what I was told. If you want the discount you can order the item you want, go to the store to pick it up and ask for the discount. It throws the Customer Service ares in a loop but they do get it done and you get a discount. You need to add 20 minutes OR MORE to the time required but it does happen.
HD does appear to have more of the "Need it Now" items, Lowes all you to go to their Web Site... or they tell you to go to the Local Hardware Store, that carries anything and everything you need, WHAT... I want it now to do my project.
I think most store are doing the same thing, slow moving items aren't stocked any more and the big thing that kills me, not just Lowes and I understand the marketing idea, if the volume of sales in your area for a given item, no matter what it is, isn't high enough they don't stock it; but sometimes you can't even order it... that doesn't go right in my head.
In HD's defense, they do appear to stock the everyday project items that Lowes doesn't.
