I bought this fertilizer to pick up at the Hereford store. The website verified it was in stock But turned out it was only available at the Belair location. It all worked out fine because I was able to buy a larger size of the same product at Hereford and apply a credit from the smaller size purchase. Still, it took quite a while to figure out.
