This is why I go to Ace over big box. I can walk in with 2 parts and say I need to connect these. They'll page the right person and a minute later they will be finding the right parts and get me set in a few minutes. This would take nearly an hour at Lowe's or Home Depot unless you lucked into the right employee. It would be a total time waste to try to do the same on Amazon. I don't care about paying 10% more for the convenience. Ace is also a retail co-op.
- SBG11 9y agoAce is fantastic. Every Ace comes with an ambiguously old guy who knows everything about whatever project you're doing and can advise you about the tools you'll need, potential pitfalls,etc. I always go to Ace first because of that guy. It's one trip to Ace vs the two+ trips to Lowe's when I'm doing something new. Amazon can sell the parts cheaper, but the knowhow they can't provide is invaluable.
