No matter how big or small your project, DIY shopping from home can mean the difference between “Do it Yourself” and “Damage It Yourself”. If you’ve always gone to the DIY shops when looking for parts tools or materials, here are the advantages of shopping from home instead.
The Ease of Delivery
Those of us who have tried to fit a flat-packed wardrobe or kitchen unit into the boot of a car know that having it delivered instead is a godsend. If you have kids, you don’t have to take them with you – you can entertain them in the house until everything arrives. Also, deliveries mean that your item arrives unbroken or scratched thanks to the efforts of trying to transport it yourself. Plus it’s easier on your back!
Less Returns and Wrong Items
We’ve all bought the wrong sized brackets, incorrect light fixture or too-small nails and screws at some point in the shop. Unless you want to ponder over boxes and through reams of choices, you’re better off ordering online where measurements and pictures are clearly marked. What’s more, that shelf you’re trying to put up will be next to you – you can get up from the computer and measure it again rather than have to drive back from the DIY shop.
Less Cost
Finally, one of the biggest advantages is that online shopping cuts out the middle man and his cut. DIY items are usually available cheaper online – so your project is less likely to go over budget, since you can also see what you’re spending. That, and you save on petrol – so why not get clicking instead of driving?
