As we've been planning our bathroom renovation, Zac and I have been using the internet for inspiration, installation research, product information, shopping, etc. Yes, we've also been to Lowe's, Home Depot, the Tile Shop and other stores about a billion times already, but nothing has been as helpful as the web. Example: we found a really cool glass tile in at a dealer - the dealer wanted $34/square foot - we found it on a website for $11 with free shipping. We knew what kind of vanity we wanted, but couldn't find a store that carried anything remotely close. But after searching online, I found a website who carried one I liked (Sam's club, of all places!). The problem was that that certain vanity came with a granite top, which we didn't need, so I used the product name and searched in Google until I found a store who sold the vanity without a top and who would ship it to a local retailer for pick up. And after finding a coupon code online for free shipping and $20-off, I feel like we actually got a good deal.
So basically, the moral of the story is this: don't always trust what you see or what they tell you in stores. Do your research to make sure you're getting the best price possible. For those retailers who know what customer service is - kudos - we'll continue to shop with you. For those retailers who don't give us (the bearded rocker and his wife) the time of day - good riddance!
