I placed an on-line order 2 weeks ago (and paid for it) that was promised to be delivered at my local store between X&X day with an email notification. Well, yesterday was the last X day and no notification so a call was made today inquiring WHERE my order was  . Long story short, the product arrived at the First day of X, was held for 2 days and RETURNED for non-pick up  ?? I was NEVER notified of the arrival (I could have used the product last week) in any way-shape-or form  !! I've got a co-worker that went through the same BS with H/D last spring, he was ALOT more vocal with the store manager than my wife was tonight and said he will never order online from there again either. Must take a lot of $$ and b/s to sponsor a car ???

Sadly, Menards doesn't offer this quality of product, that's why I ordered from H/D !!

We have had the same problem from HD here in Midland TX, also. Unfortunately there are no Menard’s in this part of the country. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

I don't have that problem here. I've only used it a couple times, but both times I got the email. Once I was there and didn't think about my order. When I got home, I had an email that it was there. I figured they was just messing with me!! When I Googled what I wanted it ended up the HD was the best price or worth the convenience. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

i have never seen where HD had a better price for the same item.. and the selection of items is not adequate for me. When i was replumbing with PEX i could get EVERYTHING i wanted and more at MENARDS... HD didnt have 25% of the items.... either did Lowes. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I quit using the Big Box chains as much as feasible. Not been unhappy do not have to drive 30+ minutes one way, use gas, time on car time away from projects, it all adds up to where saving a few dollars to not buy local is NOT worth it. Same saws, or Blades, or hardware I can get at local yard is pennies to a few dollars more HERE than at any of the big box stores. Can order anything I would like, have catalogs and TELEPHONE me as arrives, No pay in advance and if not satisfied take it back send it back no issues. |

NO doubt about that
!! That's probably how the NASCAR team keeps going  !! This particular item is a quality item with a very good price , this is why I'm so upset about the "ordering" deal . Normally I avoid the HD at ALL costs !! |

I agree with Dave. I try to buy from the local hardwares, lumber yards and farm stores. Much better service, prices are very little more and the lumber is better quality. I can go to the local feed/fertilizer store, back up to the loading dock and tell the guy what I want, go in the office and pay for it. When I leave I don't even have to check the back of the truck to see if everything is loaded. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

It's a (sadly) Rigid brand Flip Top Work support. I've never worked with a more stable support stand in 30 years until I started working with a fellow trim carpenter last year.
Thanks for asking btw

You're a lucky guy. I can't believe that 1 store can't "transplant" an item to another store like our local Big C Lumber yard can
 . You're happy with it I hope , I've owned numerous contraptions in 35 years and this is the cat's meow IMO !! |
