Second one in less than a year.

Fall, 2006, bought a GE electric range. GE version of the CR "Best
Buy" HotPoint, called all over, all the chains, Sears, Mom & Pops /
co-ops & independents, looked through the www, the Lowes price could
not be beat.

Today, a Whirlpool refrigerator that my wife wants & picked out.
Called all over, all the chains, Sears, Mom & Pops / co-ops &
independents, looked through the www, again the Lowes price could not
be beat. $100 under the closest price, $200 under most, for the exact
same unit. And it's in stock.

They must have some serious buying power.

You have a point, always compare total price.

Example: I checked Lowes for a new Maytag electric range. Lowes was
$30.00 cheaper than my local Maytag dealer. But, add $40.00 for Lowes
delivery, PLUS, $32 for the pigtail, PLUS, Lowes would not haul-away the
old appliance.

My local Maytag dealer did not charge extra for the pigtail, did not
charge for delivery, installed for FREE, plus hauled away the old
appliance for FREE.

My savings for not shopping Lowes, was invaluable.

That's strange, I had the opposite experience. I just got back from
picking up the fridge, so there was no delivery involved.

With the range, delivery was $60.00, and there was a $60.00 delivery
rebate.

I used the pigtail off the old range, no charge there.

Lowes hauled off the old range, no charge. I even loaded it up with all
the spare parts I had accumulated.

It must depend on region?

I also am getting a gift card rebate that I didn't know about, it
printed out at the register. $50.00, or about a $46.50 discount when
you consider the sales tax.
