Something I recently ran across on Home Depot's website is you can order brands they don't stock...like Jet, and Grizzly power tools, big saws, and that type of stuff that Home Depot doesn't sell, they've teamed up with other companies to provide those tools through their online purchasing option.
I tried to get a price match at the loal HD 4 years ago, the lady manager refused saying that they cannot match Amazon's online price! So I ordered it from Amazon.
I always use the courtesy cut when I buy MDF because that stuff is heavy. The bad thing is sometimes they can't find someone who is authorized to use the saw.
I have often brought with me a circle saw when I go to the stores I've been to. Some times it's just easier to do it that way if they don't have equipment to easily do those cuts on full sheets
The only bad part about HD is they limit the yearly discount for Veterans, there is a cap for a year, however, if you go to the exchange online, they have a Home Depot store.
Great information Rich. I do a lot buying from either Home Depot or Home Hardware up here in Canada. Matter of fact, the table saw that I recently purchased was an on line only purchase from Home Depot. It was a King brand and was not sold in store. I saved on the free shipping to my house. Thanks again Rich.
The stocking thing is partially Incorrect. HD recieves freight pretty much daily except weekends and have overnight stock teams. So there's no stocking taking place Sat/Sun unless they already have it in the overhead.
If its a penny they can't sell it to you, it must go off the floor. If you go thru self check out and its not seem then your lucky. Don't know what they did in the past but that's how it is now.
Great information Sir, I've been learning about some of these points in the past but you do an amazing job condensing and clarifying a lot of the information. Ike R
