 from the store no matter how much you order. That
of course makes it difficult to then order the remaining items even if you
call them and demand a refund for the first delivery fee, because the
remaining items now don't meet the minimum. Then the delivery from the
warehouse is some weird arbitrary calculation involving a nominal+ amount that
then gets divided up across the items you're ordering (3.77 here, 2.83 there,
and so on) such that if you remove any item the delivery fees for the other
items all go up, and then there are some items that deliver for free if you
order more than $45 worth _from the warehouse_ which of course doesn't help
you if some items can only be purchased from the individual stores. And then
there are still things like cans of spraypaint that you can't get delivered at
all and you're only allowed to pick up in person.

I know that right now is an exceptional time, but this kind of shopping
experience is part of why people choose Amazon first.

HomeDepot's ecommerce is a joke. Not only the shopping experience is poor,
they treat logistics as if they were doing you a favor. And, on top of all
that, you get damaged items. I made 7 purchases and all 7, in different
periods of time, had to be returned or replaced.

Same for Lowe's. There's a reason people shop on Amazon. Other than BestBuy,
no other retailer "gets" ecommerce.

I beg to differ. Rock Auto is where it's at for auto parts. The website is
ugly as hammered shit, but it's fast, shows you the options grouped by rough
quality level (economy/you cheapskate, daily driver, performance, etc), shows
you what part to select so it _ships from the same warehouse_ as the parts
already in your cart and saves you shipping, and returns are painless
(disclaimer: I've only ever done returns for core exchanges). I have never had
a better online purchasing experience.

And the prices are a fraction of what you pay at a brick and mortar place.
Especially for e.g. wiper blades.

Companies that "get" e-commerce are out there, but a lot of them are quietly
and
from the store no matter how much you order. That 
 of course makes it unmanageable to then arrange the remaining items even if you 
 visit them and necessitate a refund for the first delivery fee, because the 
 remaining token now don't meet the minimum. Then the manner of speaking from the 
 warehouse is some weird arbitrary calculation involving a nominal+ sum that 
 then gets divided up across the items you're ordain (3.77 here, 2.83 there, 
 and so on) such that if you remove any item the delivery fee for the other 
 items all go up, and then there exist some items that deliver for free if you 
 order more than $ 45 deserving _ from the warehouse _ which of course doesn't serve 
 you if some items can only be purchased from the individual store. And then 
 there are still things like cans of spraypaint that you can't get delivered at 
 all and you're merely allowed to pick up in person.
