Why Go Special Order?
Maybe you're building your dream treehouse and need a truly epic rope swing (safety first, people!). Perhaps you're renovating your kitchen and have very specific ideas about the perfect shade of chartreuse for your backsplash. Or, maybe (and this is a real thing that someone has definitely ordered), you need a giant disco ball to liven up your basement dance floor. Whatever your reason, special orders are your friend.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Here's the gist: Lowe's doesn't carry everything in the store (shocking, we know). But fear not, intrepid handyman (or handyperson)! With special orders, they can reach out to their vast network of suppliers and get you that one-of-a-kind item you've been yearning for.
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
How to Special Order Like a Boss
Convinced that a special order is the way to go? Here's how to navigate the process like a seasoned pro:
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
-
Hit the Store: Head to your local Lowe's and find an associate who looks like they know what they're doing (bonus points for a vest with lots of pockets). Explain what you're looking for and see if they can help you find it in the special order catalogs or resources.
-
Embrace the Catalog: These aren't your grandma's mail-order catalogs. We're talking about hefty tomes filled with everything from fancy faucets to custom countertops. Get ready to unleash your inner interior designer (or disco ball enthusiast).
-
Ask a Million Questions: Don't be shy! This is your special order, your moment to shine. Ask about lead times, return policies (especially important for that disco ball), and anything else that tickles your fancy.
-
Be Patient: Special orders aren't like grabbing a gallon of paint. These items may take a while to arrive, so plan accordingly. Don't show up at the store every day asking if your solid gold doorknobs have arrived (we get it, they're exciting, but trust the system).
