For home improvement projects or even building from the ground up, Lowe's Home Improvement is a good place to start. You can shop online or in person, but not all items are available online. Lowe's website will inform you on price and availability of items and help you find the nearest store.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Visit Lowe's website to find price and availability of the item you are interested in. You can also visit other websites to compare prices, but Lowe's is very competitive, and they have a large selection.

  2. Step 2

    Order the item securely online and have it shipped to your door if you want, or find out if it is in stock at your nearest store. Some items can't be shipped and must be picked up at the store.

  3. Step 3

    Have plenty of time if you go to the store. You'll want to browse Lowe's large selection.

  4. Step 4

    Pick up a sale flier at the front door if you haven't already seen one.

  5. Step 5

    Browse for the items you want.

  6. Step 6

    Ask for help if you need it. Most Lowe's employees are helpful and knowledgeable. Ensure you get help with large, heavy or bulky items and items that are on the top shelf.

  7. Step 7

    Be prepared to pay with a check, credit or debit card, or apply for Lowe's credit. Have photo identification with you.

Tips & Warnings
  • Have your lumber or metal goods cut to size at the store. They also offer an assembly service and can supply a contractor to do your project.
  • Lowe's offers free shipping on orders over 50 dollars when ordering online.
  • Lowe's has a one-year money back guarantee on plants and trees. Save proof of purchase and the dead plant.
  • Take a friend with you to help load heavy or bulky items. Lowe's employees are happy to help but are sometimes very busy. Loading your own purchases will save time.
