Home Depot / Lowes Inventory Status

[countk]

Just 4 tons of GT left in Seabrook( spies, spies, I love my spies) and 22 tons of "something else" as of noon Friday 3/11.

Not for sale they didn't, they were the ones that were outside marked sold. See previous post!

Crude oil just dropped sharply today because of the disaster in Japan, they are the world's 3rd largest consumer of oil so the drop in demand will send oil back down. This was inevitable anyway, whenever big oil hikes their prices, demand goes down so ultimately the prices fall in the long run. Pellet prices might not be so bad next Fall, especially with new mills popping up every so often.

Oil fell yea but, be careful because there is still the major unrest in the Middle East and if it continues to spread oil will rise. Right now the price is up due to the conflict in Lybia , if another med/large producer goes into civil unrest Oil will spike hard. If Saudi Arabia cant control there people then its going to be a rough year for oil.

darn.. I just went back to Lowes in Southington, CT and they just upped their price to 5.78 as well. I walked out empty handed, hopefully price will drop again sometime soon.

still same price as of this writing........$4.18/bag or $209/ton.

My bad, I meant Lowes in Plainville.

was at lowes in Plainville today,no greenteam and 5.97.

You guys ride Xena? I noticed the HD on the truck.

Yeah I'm a girl, on a "girls bike" lol.

Sorry about straying from the topic guys...

Weather permitting I'll be hitting Lowes again
both Sat and Sunday morning I hope.
Pics to follow if mission is accomplished.

Good Luck with your next ton. I went to our Lowe's this week and we are getting JACKED!!

Up 50 Cents a bag to $4.68 !

Lowes in Greenland, NH went up to 236.00./ I didn't buy but I am thinking that this will be cheaper than next year/ 206 + 10% = 212. THis may be the new low. Thoughts?

 

[geek]

Finally pulled the trigger and bought 4 tons of Somersets in Lowes Southington, $209/ton minus 10%.
I think they have about 1 ton or so left.

 

[Harman Lover 007]

Well, out local lowes only has Maine's choice and North American.

I guess I am stuck with Maines choice. I don't know at this point if prices will rise or is this is the last delivery. At this point, I believe it's a crap shoot.


Thoughts? Anyone have info on the delivers and stocking of the stores going forward? I would love to wait for GT but I have 2 more ton to buy for next year to have my 6 I need.

Just came back from Lowe's Seabrook and scooped up the last 15 bags of GT. TODAY they raised their price to 4.68. When I asked what that was all about, they simply said that they have no control on prices. I let them know that Lowes in Saugus was still 4.18, but they didn't care. Oh well I at least had a 10% coupon.

They also said that was their last order for the season!

One more note, someone earlier on this thread said that had reserved 2 tons of GT to pick up Sat. Better bring a towel and hope none of the bags are ripped. They had 4 tons sitting in the rain marked paid!

GT wraps them well, they have some of the strongest bags in the business, and they were under the overhang, not in the rain. My brother picked them up after work today. If any of you are whining about this now don't say a bunch of us didn't tell you.....the party is over..for now.

 

[turbotech]

It will be interesting to see how fast they sell out now. Pellet houses are looking good now.

 

[dave64]

I was going to lowes tomorrow to get six pallets but now i will wait to see if they drop the price
Will lowes match woodpellets.com pricing ??

 

[dmaclaren]

I did see that Lowes locally got in Maines choice across a few stores at 22 ton a truck load. Wooodpellets.com is currently sold out of those and they were selling at $209 a ton, 3 ton min.

[tinkabranc]

Imagine the panic on the employees faces when they see the swarm of pellet pigs surrounding all the
Lowes stores lately. ;-)

Picked up 20 bags of Greene Team at Lowe's in Orange CT this morning. $4.18 per bag. Just needed a little more to hold me until the spring sales start.

Do you really think there will be "spring sales"? I don't see it with all the political unrest in the Arab World and high oil prices! Transportation of pellets will take a big hike. Believe me, I hope you're right. Where do you derive this optimism from?

 

[Lousyweather]

Yes, yes, I do think there will be spring sales......will the prices be markedly lower than today? Not alot. I know some manufacturers arent lowering their prices at all for spring, so those prices wont go down. Some are lowering their prices somewhat. Start looking for those sales about April-ish. I derive this optimism from being a pellet dealer.

Certainly you have access to better information than I do!

I was trying to get my last ton of green teams to be all set for next winter, but fell 30 bags short. If you're right perhaps I will buy another ton, if I see any decent prices in the spring.

Called lowes this morning to confirm 3 tons of Gt ... talking to the ma.ager he told me they had my gt tagged because that's what I asked forAND I called to let them know NOT to sell them like what was said in another thread... the manager laughed and told me he bought the last 5 bags for himself because the wife wants nothing but gts... I told him gt or Somersets with Somerset being a little bit better.. he went on to say his wife only wants gt.. so I asked if he got Somerset if he would let me know,
My 3 tons of gt came ....2 somersets and 1 gt!.....anyone wanna bet where the other 2 went? Lol
He told me this morning that my 3 gt were on the truck he made sure, so I am sure after me saying I wish I get could get ss he made the switch, made me and his wife happy!

 

[Xena]

Iceman did they hit you with a price increase for those?

From what some people are reporting it doesn't sound like
all the Lowes stores are charging 5.97 a bag at this time.

No
209-10%
Thinking about 1 more ton

 

[Xena]

Cool beans Iceman. Glad you scored as I know you
were searching.

Wonder if some stores just haven't
read the memo or if some just aren't going to increase.

 

[tammid65]

Was at Lowes in Southington, CT today ready to buy 3 tons of Somersets and the price seemed to have gone up to $4.98/bag overnight.
Not sure how different Lowes could be getting different pricing on these things. I walked away...I am hoping that was the right choice
and waiting for the summer sales to hit. Time will tell...

 

[justinc25]

All I can say is WOW. Sure glad I bought a ton last saturday, for $209.00 - 10%.
Had to settle for Maine's Choice, as it was their last ton, of ALL the Lowe's stores in a 50 mile radius.

I'm surprised, I bought 4 tons of somersets from Lowes Southington and got delivery this morning, talking to the guy he was surprised when i mentioned some Lowes had seem to increase the price as theirs was still the same as of late last night when i called.

Are you really sure they upped the price? I will call them tomorrow to verify, i bought mine at $188/ton after applying the discount.... ;-)

 

[tammid65]

There was a sign at $4.98/bag....unless they were mis-marked...I will give a call and see what is going on.
Thanks.
