Purchase A/C from Lowes and get an incredible doubling in prices found from other A/C suppliers and installers.
An actual bid from Lowes. Over $10,000. Same equipment and installation work purchased from a local company. Same manufacturer of A/C (In this case Trane) was only half. $5000.. For same installation.
With any marginal point pricing analysis, a doubling of costs is not justified. Thus, Lowes either rips off unsuspecting customers or accepts losing business via it's usury approach to pricing for installation services associated with it's retail products.
Lowes' business model appears to be 'for each customer lost, we get 5 new unsuspecting ones" and that not only reflects a disdain for savvy consumers, but also shows up on the corporate bottom line.
