Just bought a 48v lithium battery and charger for a golf cart on sale. Customers tell me they like this one.

A similar thing happened to me before with sLowes. I'm looking for a charcoal canister for my Ford truck. I see aftermarket ones on scAmazon for just over 100$. Prices are all over the place with various sites. The OEM part is as high as $300+ So I do a DDG search and the Motorcrap part shows up on Home Cheapo website. GTFOH. Best price and not much more than the aftermarket Dorman product on scAmazon. Free shipping and my vets discount essentially erased the taxes and even put 3 dollars in my wallet.

If we want to expand to other online vendors; Parts Geek; got the wrong wheel bearings, and I double checked, ordered the right SKU, but they didn't send the SKU I ordered; I did get a refund, but they probably could have denied it cause it was more than 30 days later, and I didn't find out until the Durango was on blocks, and the wheel hub assembly removed. Also got some suspension parts for son's truck, and one of the ball joints was missing the grease zerk, and the hole for the zerk had no threads.

Vevor, I mostly like, BUT, you will see 17 almost identical sales, but at totally different prices. You really have to review pictures and every word to see what you are getting, and although it hasn't happened to me, you may not get the exact item you ordered; say a 7x14 metal lathe; there are like 13 of them posted, from $389 to $750.

BangGood, thing I have only ordered two small items, like spade wire connectors, cheap, and you're not looking for quality,

Temu, I have an order in now for some light weight, water proof camo, and we will see. Seemed like a good deal at $24 for pants and jacket. I have eye balled some of their stuff, such as a Digitial NV scope, for $299, that even has the same logo as a Sightmark Wraith. I think they are factory over runs? I do seem several Vortex scopes, including the Venom and Crossfires, and they aren't advertised as Vortex, but they have the logo, and are either copies, counterfeits, overruns, or rejects?

Walmart.com, the orders have been fine; BUT the website/app is trash. If you Google the item, you can find it on Walmart, but if you search it on Walmart directly, it won't be there.

That’s a lot of sunshine for one post.
I still don’t understand how Lowe’s fits in your story? You’re shopping Lowes for ford truck emissions parts? And ..?

No. I was buying something awhile back that Lowes doesn't carry but they had it online at a very good price. Tractor fluid.

I was searching on Duck Duck go for this part by number. A first or second page hit was HD. It's like many of these big retailers dip their toe into other stuff probably to compete with amazon.

A first at our house last week our Amazon order showed in an Amazon van driven by a driver wearing an Amazon uniform.

Someone posted on Nextdoor (local gossip newletter) that a white van was following the Amazon truck and scooping up the parcels off porches.

Amazon driver said he told the van guy to get lost but was ignored.

Maybe should throw this in the chainsaw thread but Amazon has the Husqvarna 450 Rancher with 20” bar on sale for $384 bucks right now. It’s about 100 bucks off the regular price. Seems like a great deal if you like their saws.

Search under daily deals.
