Deal Details
My local Lowes has the Kobalt Storage Rack parts on clearance. I am unsure if this is nationwide, or limited to my area (Russelville, AR), but it was too good to not share.
Normally. The 77"x24"x72" rack is $299 and the 84" is $339, but if you buy 2 of the uprights (A) @ $11.97ea, 4 of the Beam and Tie supports (B) @ $17.97ea, and 4 of the Wire Shelves (C) @ $9.97ea, you have all the parts for a full 77" rack for only 135.70.
Alternatively, you can purchase the 84" Beam and Tie supports and Wire Shelves for an 84" length unit for the same price. They had stickers for the 84" uprights at $13.97 each, but were sold out before I arrived.
If you're in my area, I purchased all 3 of the remaining uprights and the remaining 84" shelving pieces. There are still some 77" pieces, but not enough to make a rack unless you have the uprights already.

77-in W x 24-in D x 72-in H 4 -Tier Heavy Duty Black Metal Wire Utility Shelving Unit https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-K...1003094276
Such shelving is built up out of basically three parts:
- Ends
- Long bars to form shelves
- Some sort of covering (could be wire, could be particle board) for the shelves being "made"
You learn this when you buy that same 4 shelf Kobalt kit Lowes has for $299 for $199 at Costco ... or almost that price with 11pc rebate at Menards.
While Menards sells the "pieces parts" (allowing you to add, say an extra shelf, or to add a second set without one of the end pieces), Lowes doesn't on their website.

The Lowes (2) I went to didn't stock "pieces parts" for these kits. There are pieces for other kits, but not the Kobalt heavier duty ones (which are very similar -- subtle differences) between the 77x72x24s at Costco and Menards. So, it is indeed YMMV.
For the OP ... do you have any SKUs for parts you bought you could share with us?

So I went deal hunting late on a Sunday. I've been in the market for several storage racks for an ongoing project.

Not really sure how these help, but there you are.
I ended up buying three sets of these industrial heavy duty shelves. I was able to locate a couple of stores that had inventory. Had to make a couple of trips, as they barely fit into my car.
For reference, these are better than these Gorillas at Costco, which are currently on sale for $230 shipped when you buy 2. The Kobalt are rated at 3,500 lbs per shelf, while the Gorilla Shelves are 2,000 lbs.

Cans of automotive chemicals hate standing up on them, and if you get any leaks, anything below them gets soaked. I've got to have solid shelves, IMO.
