You decide to begin a remodeling project or a repair job and you are in need of many different parts but you aren't sure where you should go for parts the local hardware store or the Home Depot of Lowe's Hardware. The local hardware store may be more convenient but they are also going to be more expensive than Home Depot and Lowe's. In addition to price, there may also be more of a selection at the larger store. The reason why the local hardware stores are more expensive than these bigger stores is because they don't do the volume like the other stores do. The larger stores can lower their prices because they do a larger number of business and they buy in bulk from their manufacturers. So they can bring you lower prices. The smaller stores don't have the room to have every plumbing supply item you can think of. They can get it for you but they may not carry it due to the limited amount of space they have. Home Depot and Lowe's are pretty competitive so they may have the same inventory but they have the space and the over head to be able to bring you the full line of plumbing supplies like, ball valves, check valves, elbows, piping, nipples, connectors, adapters and port valves. The larger stores will also carry more manufactures than a smaller plumbing supply store. They have on hand sales associates you can help you plan your project and make sure you have all of the correct parts you need. Local stores really don't do that, so by going to a larger store such as Home Depot and Lowes and the sales associates helping, you get all the right parts as well and you can get cheaper prices and with some help you won't need to keep going back to parts and if you have the wrong parts it costs money in gas and maybe to exchange. The larger stores save you money by having lower costs, a bigger selection of parts so they do not need to be ordered and cost you shipping. Millions of people have turned from the local plumbing supply to the larger stores because it is quick and easy and there is help available if you get stuck on a job. Shopping wisely might prevent emergency plumbing in the near future caused by the supplied you have purchased.
