Our dryer (which came with the house and was over 30 years old) died and so we went to get a new one. We went to Lowe's first and were told that it had to be special-ordered and would take 14 days to get to the store and then could be delivered (for a price.) So next we went to Home Depot where we had to first walk all around the store to find someone to help us and then we got a very stupid woman who said that they didn't make dryers in the size we wanted. I know for a fact they do as Lowe's could get one and we had one before. I let the lady know she was wrong and worthless and left.
Then we remembered hearing some ads on the radio to a local chain called Baron's. I looked on my phone and called them. They said they had what we wanted in-stock and so we drove over there. The guy (the same one I spoke to on the phone) was very helpful and friendly - not at all pushy like Lowe's and Home Depot tend to be. We picked the one we wanted and were told it would be delivered for free (with a $15 fee to haul-away the old dryer.)
So far I am very impressed with the service and products that Baron's has. Now I can only hope everything will go smoothly this Tuesday when it is delivered. If all goes well then I will believe in the saying "Buy Local." I have heard this saying all the time, but most local places tend to be bad and then you have to see the same people all the time. I really hope this time will be different.
