Whether you’re purchasing a new toolset as a gift or just looking to complete some home improvement projects before your annual holiday guests arrive, there’s a good chance that a trip to the local hardware store is in your near future. While locally owned shops tend to offer unbeatable care and service, they don’t always have room to stock specialty products. Fortunately, you can shop online to find the exact items you need while still receiving the specialized care that only a local store can provide. Here are a few benefits of embracing online shopping this holiday season. 

Why You Should Do Your Holiday Shopping Online

1. Wider Selection of Products

Local shops may not have the room to house every type of specialty product under one roof, but they can order products from large warehouses that carry just about everything you might need. Instead of heading to multiple shops to find what you need, order online and get all your items from one place.

2. No Additional Cost

If you can’t find what you need in the store, or if you don’t feel like braving the cold to do your holiday shopping, order your items online. Many local hardware stores offer free ship-to-store options, so you can order what you need online and pick it up at the shop for no additional charge. 

3. Care & Convenience

Big box home improvement stores may be able to physically hold more products than local hardware stores, but they’re not always convenient. You may have to travel farther and then spend hours wading through aisles. When you order online through your local store, you can quickly find the products you need and still have access to the friendly staff when you go to pick up your purchases.

Embrace convenience this holiday season by ordering online. If hardware tools are on your list, you can order products from TrueValue and pick them up at Ideal Supplies in Ludlow, KY. The local hardware store has been serving residents throughout the greater Cincinnati, OH, area for more than 50 years and takes special care to make sure every customer is satisfied with their purchase and experience. They carry landscape supplies, paint, lumber, and ready-mix concrete, along with additional products available online.
