If they have it in stock locally, you will probably get it quicker than from Amazon.
That may be true for some items, but generally, Lowes and Home Depot cannot compete with Amazon on deliveries. Almost all Amazon deliveries are free, sometimes the same day. Lowes and Home Depot both charge a delivery fee for a delivery within less than 3 days.

I recently ordered some 3M Command strips from Amazon and got them the same day with free shipping. The Home Depot same day delivery fee was $8.99 for an $11 item.
