Preferred price? Home Depot sells them from as little as $50 all the way to $120

If there is a Lowe’s they do similar prices. $65 for a 6-7 foot as opposed to more than double for one off the street

Home Depot trees are trash and you are lucky to get anyone to help you up there.

I’ve been going there for years. Haven’t had that experience. Trees have been good too.

There are like 4 people cutting, wrapping, and tying to your car at all times there. What exactly do you need help with?

I don't need help with anything, I buy my trees from the smaller lots around JC/ Hoboken.
I speak from my own experiences with purchasing trees at Home Depot, which is hilarious that people are so passionate about ones opinion.
So story time:
I went to home depot in 2019, the weather was shit. I don't expect any employee to stand out their in the rain waiting for some one to buy a tree.
I go to customer service, I ask if I can have assistance in purchasing a tree. They politely said sure and said someone will be up there.
I go upstairs, wait about 10-15 minutes, not an obnoxious amount of time, but the weather was shit. I head downstairs after 20 mins and went to Customer Service again. They proceeded to tell me I can go grab the tree, wrap and rig it to my car.
Annoyed, I went upstairs, grabbed a saw and my gloves from the trunk , picked a "Mid at best" tree and proceeded to trim the bottom, wrap and rig it to my car.
Their trees are not exceptional in anyway and are priced fairly for what you are getting.
Should this singular experience sour my mood on buying trees from Home Depot, probably not. However, those smaller lots have some of the most bubbliest people.
