Transition between brick & mortar and e-commerce is making life hard for customers and the retailers. I went in based on online inventory, and found that it was completely wrong and the store was in fact out of stock of most everything I wanted. From experience, I knew that the Lowes store was going to be similar if not in worse shape. Any rate, I purchased what would work, although it was not as nice. For DIY, this is a bad trend as I and many others are going to look for other options including Cofer Brothers and Randall Brothers, as well as Restore and Lifecycle Building Center. I will go back for odds and ends, but big ticket items will be purchased elsewhere from now on.
