Typically what they do in this area is call the customer. If they get voicemail, they cancel the order and note that they contacted the customer but were not able to speak with them. This seems to be allowed.

If the customer answers the phone, they have to give permission to cancel the order. Next time you get a cancellation call, listen carefully to how they word it. They usually say something like "we don't have the item and we need to cancel the order". I usually respond with something like "I don't want my order cancelled, do you have something you can substitute or will you need to get it from another store?" They then put me on hold for a few minutes while they talk to the store manager, then tell me what the manager offered. Usually it is a substitution or that they will get it from another store, but a few times they have offered a Lowes gift card instead.



Hmm. Many times I've had the item cancelled but when I visit the same store, I've found the item on the shelf, or a hanging hook display.

I have had the same experience. Sometimes they can't seem to find the item, and sometimes I don't think they look all that hard. I have declined their offer to cancel and kept the order open while they keep looking for the item, they seem more willing to do this when the inventory count is high, indicating they are "missing" a box or more of the item. Usually they find them within a week or so, often in a different department or stuck in a corner somewhere.

This forum is getting so ridiculous. Post the deals, . Your personal experiences, and opinions just take up to much space. Every situation and question has been answered multiple times over. READ. There are certain individuals here that have high post counts. They didn't get there by posting deals. They only post opinions and comments. By the way, what the hell is "THIS"?

Shows at $599 in this area, checked other areas, same thing. Maybe a clearance item at your store only? Often they will get special order returns, one-off items that are only available at one store.

Wrong again Woodturner, here you go again spewing your infinite wisdom.
If your so smart, do a fact check. Before I post a deal, I check other stores in different states. Do you know how to do that. Try it!

Woodturner9 . question for you? This forum is titled "2017 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread" I have read every one of your postings ( 6 pages and I stopped)
I did not find a single deal posted by you. You apparently seem to be a Lowes/Sears and Kmart expert. All you do is exert your opinion or so called expertise. For someone so educated , and so informed, why haven't you posted any DEALS???

Just wanting to make a point here and now I'm done calling out people. I think everyone gets my point. Back to the deals.

Found several in my area for $149, but just don't care for that style. Of course the closest store has one in stock for regular price.

LoL. A quick search showed me 3 stores where they were $239. It boggles the mind why you spend so much time posting useless/incorrect information

Seems more to do with a clearance item that is not available at all stores or all states. Similar to some items on sale/clearance at one store but not at any others which leads to people asking about doing price matching or asking about buying it on clearance at one store, driving to another store and returning it there for full credit.

You will get a cancellation. Already tried Northbrook. Orland like you said is at 240.00., showing 2 in stock.



I actually picked it up in store. Didn't order online. Was up in the rafters. Tag showed $299. Employee there said it's a good deal for $299, little did he know that it was for $59. Every time I ordered something from northbrook for in store pickup I always got a cancelation.

Wow! you must have ran over there as soon as I posted it. Good for you!
I got a cancellation earlier in the week. Northbrook is an hour away. couldn't justify driving all the way there to check.

Sometimes it depends more on the eagerness of the employee. I know when I was in retail, we weren't supposed to spend too much time looking for a one-sie. There was just a good of a chance of it being found as there was of it not. It is harder to apply that thinking to a larger item, but I think we all have been surprised with home improvement stores inventory accuracy.

Fellas... I'm about to start closing accounts. If you don't have a deal - don't post in this forum.

Tempting to pick up those multi-packs of dewalt alox blades... But in reality I just use my angle grinder... I wouldn't want to get my circular saw all nasty from cutting metal or stone.

Thanks,
I ordered the 7" and 4.5". Got an email saying ready for pick up then I got a phone call saying they never had them. Sounds shady to me...

See if other lowes have the blades for the same price. Or if they are available for shipping you can have it shipped home for free, then go to that lowes and ask them to honor their original price.

I did that yesterday and it worked. I ordered 2 boxes of flooring for $29/box. The store called me and said they couldnt find the 2 boxes and they had none. So i ordered 2 boxes shipped to home for $68/box, then i went to customer service at that lowes with my original receipt and asked them to honor the $29/box, and they did with no fuss.

Lowe's recently changed their price match policy in May, and they now officially price match other lowe's, although clearance is excluded, but the price tag never said clearance:

Sometimes a competitor has a product purchased as a “Special Buy” that will be at a lower price than Lowe’s offers. We have a low price guarantee where we will price match our price or our competitors if a lower price is found within 30 days of purchase, but it does exclude “Special Buy” promotions.

Other exclusions include:
• Non-verifiable competitor prices
• Third-party marketplace sellers
• Competitor closeouts
• Discontinued, clearance, damaged products
• Refurbished and used products
• Tax-free events
• Lowe’s LMRP items (Lowe’s Minimum Retail Price or Unilateral Minimum Retail Price)
• Senior citizen discounts
• Rebates - Lowe’s will not match the rebate offer but at store management discretion Lowe's will match the final netted down price after rebate is applied)
• Coupons
• Competitor advertising/pricing errors
• Buy one, get one free offers - If a competitor offers a buy one/or multiple, get one free (ex., buy three bags of mulch, get one free), Lowe’s will match the per-unit price.
• Percent-off sales price offers - If a competitor offers a specific percent off an entire group, assortment, category, or the entire store, Lowe’s will match this offer at the customer’s request.
• Items previously purchased from Lowe’s (outside of the 30-day return period)

A bunch of levels were on clearance (Swanson and Stanley) at my local store today. Most were about 5-10% off normal prices right now, but there were a couple of items that were about 20% off. Not exactly run out and buy them up yet, but bears watching if you need a level.

Thanks for posting - picked up some of the Dewalt blades. Two employees found them in the cabinets above - as I was leaving, heard one tell the other to grab him several.

There are 7 johnson and irwin levels on clearance. Maybe if they go 90% off ill buy a few, but i dont need them. Last year i picked up several nice levels 90% off. I got a 36 inch one for like $5, a 7 foot long for $15.
