On line, Lowes has them listed at $29.99. Problem is, they don't have any, and when I asked I was told it would be "2-3 weeks, maybe more". I called j.s. west, they had them in stock at $22.99 and they even loaded them for me. I always think of lowes as lower prices, no customer service. At J.S. West, I got both - a much better price and HELP.

They pointed us straight to what we needed, and had smiles on their faces during checkout. They have separate men's and women's bathrooms. The ladies room was a single stall, clean, and had high end fixtures. The overall feel of the store was higher end than you would expect. Overall, they provided a good experience and I would definitely recommend stopping in if you need anything!

And yesterday to Jeff, a manager, who is quite knowledgable and really helped me figure out a project I have to do. Also Kyle in front, who's super on the ball and extremely helpful.

Because the store hates people and employees they have gotten rid of all of the checkers…read more The one person that is there to help you check out is a disabled lady who is hunched over a walker. She's very nice and very overworked and they obviously put her there to discourage anybody from asking for any help. It's pretty disgraceful that you would have a disabled person at the front of the store and require them to lift things just to discourage your customers from actually wanting to use a real checker When they first opened and put their competition out of business they said that they were going to hire more employees not less. When I asked to talk to a manager I realized I was actually number three in line to talk to a manager because he was hiding in the back and did not want to come out and deal with any customers. I will never shop at Lowe's again. They should be ashamed of themselves. They have destroyed both jobs and the customer experience.

Every time i've spoken with them, they have been the kindest. They took their time called and gave me update and seem like they genuinely care. Are little dogs were quite the mess after a very busy winter. Life happened and their coats could have been better managed, but it was not in the cards for us.With everything we had going on as a family. Typically, in previous experience elsewhere. I have felt very judged and as if I was a poor dog parent. That was not the case here. And it was a very much appreciated because I do a well enough job recognizing my own shortcomings and feeling guilty. Again, they make the best team we couldn't be happier.

From quality Danner Boots, to Pendleton blankets and towels (swoon), rain wear, cat food, dog food, home and outdoor supplies, gardening tools, overalls, slippers, and much more - Wilco has it. Though their clothing selection isn't cheap, I appreciated that it seemed to be well curated. In fact my husband came back for some work boots a week or so later. If you want lower priced work/outdoor wear etc - Tractor Supply and/or Big 5 might have some more deals, but if price isn't an issue - Wilco has some quality finds. Due to Wilco's higher prices - we refrained from making any pricey impulse buys, but we did end up buying some some fun cat toys and cat food. Trust.

I was recommended Van's as the source for the doors for my new custom home build in Copperopolis by…read moremy general contractor. I oriented myself to doors from YouTube as much as I could--a subject I knew nothing about--and thought through the design style I was looking for. When I went in for my appointment with Dave, sending the blueprints ahead of me, he was able to quickly walk me through the process of selecting my doors. For example, he knew from the blueprint that an exposed front door like mine really had to be fiberglass to hold up to the blazing heat and winter storms. The shaker style interior doors (MDF) were a no-brainer for me, but to choose the front door I had to take catalogues home. There was one stop back to finalize things months later before the order went in, and Dave pointed out that we had changed the front size, which would make the handle disproportionate. Changed it. I wasn't there for the installation process, the contractor coordinated it. It is Thanksgiving day, and I just wanted to thank Dave and his crew. All the doors make me happier than I could have imagined as a new home owner.
