Nowadays Home Depot (and I believe Lowe's also) has in-store pickup, so you can often buy the item online and pick it up shortly thereafter.

- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoI made the mistake of ordering from HD online and received a different product than what I ordered. It turns out that they reuse SKUs for different models so the drones will pull the usually outdated old stock on the store's shelves.
- ethbro 6y agoThat's definitely a mistake on the store's part and should have been a quick return / swap for you. What generally happens is: (1) associate is dispatched to pick an online order, listed by SKU and bring it up front, (2) they arrive at the bay and start looking around for a match, (3) while they are supposed to verify down to the SKU level, sometimes they say "DeWalt 20V circular saw" = "DeWalt 20V circular saw", grab it, and move on, (4) repeat for the next order. That's assuming there's stock in the store. In the event it's Ship-to-Store, you add the additional touch of warehouse getting it right. Although in my experience that rarely goes wrong (because automatic verification, etc as things go out). I always do a SKU / item check if there's anything that might be a problem. In my personal experience, it happens ~1:50 orders (usually with easily confusable substitutions).
- mvcalder 6y agoMy neighbor works at HD. He also works at a local metal fabrication shop. I've visited him there and watched him turn a flat piece of metal into a multifaceted high precision part on a metal brake using only his hands, eyes, and the tool. He helps me with my metalwork challenges often. He has two great kids at College and a wife that nags him to no end but that he adores. Drone? Hardly.
