Ordered Engineered Wood flooring from Lowe's Dublin. BJM Construction did the inspection and estimates. They came for installation and after taking 2 days for 2nd floor flooring, was told at the end of 3rd day that staircase nose is wrong type and they can't do staircase. Whole staircase area is a mess as carpet is removed already. I am chasing them since yesterday to find out what are they doing to get right staircase nose and when can I expect it to be installed but no update from them yet. As I write this review I am on Lowe's phone line placed on hold for flooring department and no one is there to even pick up the phone.

I ordered cabinets from Lowe’s. They are extremely disappointing due to the poor quality. Some came out of the box broken. The glazing is on some cabinets, some is missing, many have smears. The paint wipes off one cabinet.

I purchased Samsung range that was advertised with a Backsplash rebate in Nov. 2020. I was to submit the info and wait 2-4 weeks for delivery of the rebate. After many, many emails and promises, insisting that I wait 8 additional weeks after each email I submitted, it now has been ten months (10) and I have still not received it. Their communication department is deplorable and with only one exception, no emphasis or importance is placed on customer service. The company should receive a fine for false advertising. After all, it was one of the reasons that I purchased the Samsung stove.

We have had three delivery appointments and they have failed to make any of them. Three days off work and no washer. Two were no call no show. One was just a call to cancel after 8:00 PM and they didn’t know when it was going to be delivered.

Bought a Refrigerator Sept 8. Supposed to deliver in 3 days. Never did and it now 9/25, pulled the same ** 4 more times. Management did not care. Did not get back to me. Wrote 4 emails to the CEO. Same thing. He never replied. Had some flunky respond but did nothing. I am now in the process of suing them.

Placed an order online for a drawer slide on Sept 10, 2021. The delivery date was set for Sept. 20,2021. Called Lowe's on Sept.22 (2 days after the promised date) to inquire about why I did not yet received my order. Not only that I did not get any good explanation but I was put on hold for 55 mins and referred to the vendor that they buy my order from. So I called the vendor which in "Custom Service Hardware" and talked to the customer service person. His name was Caleb. Also all he said was it was already shipped and promised to e-mail me an update before the day ends. I made him aware that it is 1:15pm California time since he mention they are eastern time.
Day went by, next day went by and another day went by, no update no product. Mid-day today Sept 24 the product delivered but no update. I am writing this review to make aware for people that plan to put an online order at Lowe's that their delivery methods were very poor. By the way, who delivered? Was FedEx. If you have no choice to order your items except Lowe's, ask Lowe's who is their delivery people or company.

Ordered a rug online, it delayed 3 times, then it came damaged, I called and was told I'd get a follow up call the next day, and then a call in 4 days for them to drop off a new rug and take the old one, but no one ever called me, and when I had to call back they claimed no knowledge of my first call, and refused to do anything about my situation. Customer Service Rep's Manager's name was Sean. We won't be ordering from them again.

The sales person came out and gave me a quote, the fence installer showed up and that is when things went awry. The guy that came out was the brother of the fence contractor, and when I saw him outside my home I went out and asked if he was there to install my fence, the attitude started, he answered at 7AM. Which with the condescending tone I thought the answer was inappropriate. After I moved my pickup, and car to give them access the boards, and gate to enter the back yard, which is why I asked him the initial question, he entered the back yard and informed the fence may be as high as 3-5" off the ground in areas, which was strange in my opinion. We discussed that for a while and he and two other men got to work. I asked him to set the posts at 6" center off the existing fence line of the neighbors, in places it is almost a foot off the line, as I discovered after the fence was installed.
There were 20 boards extra delivered, but instead of using those the brother of the contractor installed 17 badly stained boards, some with almost 45 degree angles on the bottom. When my wife asked about the stains she was told the rain would wash the chemical used in treating the boards off. This did not happen. When I attempted to contact the sales person, and installation coordinator, to this day 3 months later neither has responded.
After 3 weeks of calling and emailing them, I got a hold of another install coordinator, and a work order was created which according to contractor was never sent, after another call, the contractor showed in over a month after the install, and took photos, and then I saw the attitude ran in the family, he said if Lowes would pay him to replace the boards he would. He let me know that he would not stop what he was working on to do it though, and that he would do it if it rained where he had a job, but it wasn't raining here. Lowes called and said the boards would be replaced. I have called customer support, and the store repeatedly, and the ugly boards are still there for us to look at each and every day. DO NOT use Lowes Installation. The install was June 16, 2021, and as I write this today September 18, 2021 nothing has been done.

Hired Lowe's to replace a fence and paid them in full after agreeing to hire them. After more than 5 months, they never did the work and I had to ask for a refund for which they shorted us the permit fee. Hiring Lowe's did nothing but cost me over $250 with nothing to show for it. If you're looking to get a project completed, avoid Lowe's and hire someone else.

Their customer service may be worse than Comcast! I have been remodeling a house and have spent well over $30K with Lowe's so far on this project. Their delivery service is hands down the worst I've ever dealt with. To add insult to injury, whenever there is a problem with a delivery you will be spending no less than forty-five minutes on the phone and deal with two to three people that will undoubtedly drop the ball. You are supposed to get a heads up call thirty minutes before your delivery....that never happens. This last delivery (a stove) I received a text @ 12:26pm stating they were ten minutes from my house. The delivery was supposed to be between 1:00pm and 5:00pm. I told them that nobody would be at the house until 1:00pm. I asked them if they were going to drop it off after 1:00pm or if they were rescheduling. Their response was: "No sr I'm on the phone." (I didn't make a typo, this is exactly how it was sent to me.)
My response was: "That's not even a response to my question!" I tried to call them, no answer. I went to the house, they were gone. At this point I had no idea if they were rescheduling or what was going on due to their lack of proper communication. I have a busy schedule so I left. At 2:38pm the delivery guy calls and says he's at my house, no warning at all this time. I told him I was twenty minutes away, he told me I'd have to reschedule. The delivery company called and after I explained what happened I was put on hold which disconnected after about two minutes. I made two calls to the local Lowe's location and was met with nothing but confusion from their employees. I called the 1-800 number and spoke with them for twenty-eight minutes. I was told that they would contact the store and they had forty-eight hours to contact me or the problem would be escalated to the corporate office. This call was made at 5:46 on Wednesday.
Lowe's never called to straighten this out. Instead, they send me an e-mail at 2:24am Friday stating, "Great news, your item has been delivered." It's 5:45am on Tuesday morning, I have jumped through multiple hoops, spent about two hours on the phone, driven to my house being worked on, twice. Now Lowe's has completely dismissed the whole delivery fiasco, not holding any of their people accountable for what has happened, not taking any responsibility for what they have put me through. They have now started a lost item claim for the stove I paid $1,379.00 for. Someone will contact me within twenty-four hours of my call to them around 9:45 yesterday morning. I've got $100 that says I won't receive that call! Any takers? I've got about $30K more I'll be spending on this remodel. Lowe's won't be getting a dime of that!

I purchased Blinds and Storm doors to be installed. I received the blinds, had to go to the store to let them know because customer service didn’t have a clue what department I needed to talk to. Tried for over a week to get the installation scheduled because the company Redline or whatever wouldn’t schedule and kept saying they didn’t have info even though the Lowe’s installation department contacted them several times.
Finally got a schedule date that was 2 weeks out after already waiting a week. Lowe’s received my storm doors on 8/31/21, no install setup, I went to store on 9/2, the store contacted the installation department, was told they would contact me by the next day for install date…of course that didn’t happen. I contacted the installation dept 9/7/21. They contacted Summit installation and was told they didn’t know the items were received. Remember the store called them while I was there on 9/2. So I’m waiting today 9/7 to see when/if I’ll receive a call to schedule. I will never use Lowe’s to install anything, and I’ll never recommend anyone else to use them.

I purchased a kitchen bundle online. Order # ** ...I had requested a 6/12/21 delivery date. I didn't get an option for delivery for the stove so had to pick that up myself at the store. I have a very bad back and my wife is handicapped. On 6/6/21 they delivered a damaged refrigerator without the icemaker line that wasn't going to get delivered until 6/12/21. The refrigerator was damaged so they took it back. I called and was told that it would get redelivered on 6/12/21 although it states on my account that it had been delivered on the 6th and never corrected, so I waited. I was contacted by XPO Logistics that my delivery was on its way. When it got here it was only the microwave and icemaker line. Driver said refrigerator was on another truck. I called XPO delivery service of which I was hung up on twice before I got to talk to someone and was informed that the refrigerator was no longer in stock and would have to contact the store.
I contacted the Oldsmar store #2639 and was transferred to Assistant Manager Stacey **. She was awesome. She tracked down another refrigerator for me and it was delivered the next day on 6/13/21. (The delivery men from XPO Logistics barely spoke English and informed me that they would not hook up ice maker line because it was copper of which I was not informed until they showed up. I said I would hook it up and then they left without removing any of the tape on the inside or helping me push in to the hole. (They said something about install that I couldn't understand and left.) I asked about my dishwasher and was told that it was coming out of store #2360. Stacey gave the the name of Mark ** to talk to.
The dishwasher was supposed to be installed and online it said ready for installers to pick up. According to Mark it was never scheduled with them and they weren't opened on weekends of which I was not informed. The dishwasher was delivered today 6 14/21 (by my request to Mark) due to the fact that I had not heard from the install company, Crume Installations. They finally contacted me today and scheduled and said that it would not be installed until 7/2/21. Today is the 14th and I was under the impression that all would be done by the 12th. I will have to hire my own plumber to install the dishwasher. (I do expect to be reimbursed for the install)..
06/19/2021.. I just got my plumber to hook up dishwasher so that is finally done.. Now my refrigerator is making a noise that I know is not normal... The nightmare continues. I am extremely dissatisfied with Lowe's online ordering. The ball was dropped at every turn. I had to track down every piece of my order with no help from the online customer service. Stacey and Mark were the only professionals I dealt with. Everyone else was totally incompetent and unprofessional. I look forward to hearing back from Lowe's about my install refund and my 10% discount from bill for payment for my time doing lowe's online work for them.

I purchased a dishwasher from Lowe's, including an extended warranty. I've been trying since June to get it fixed. I have spent countless hours on the phone with Lowe's. They have promised three times that they are shipping the part needed for repair and scheduled a repairman, but the part never arrives, and I have to cancel the repair appointment. I adjust my schedule to accommodate these appointments so my time is wasted. Lowe's only response is to call warranty services AGAIN. The extended warranty I purchased was for repair or, if repair isn't possible, replace. The company they use for warranty work, A&E, deemed the dishwasher unrepairable since no part is available yet Lowe's continues giving me the run around.

Lowe’s in Bridgewater. Wanted to buy a security system. They had a tag that they said bring to the cashier. When I brought it to the cashier she left. Never came back. Finally she signal me to come over to her. She told me that she knew nothing about it and couldn’t help me. I asked if she could have somebody help me. She said no. I asked if I could talk to manager. Manager came over and told me that I’m not to ask her the question. I asked him if he could help me. He said no and I was totally wrong. I called Lowe’s complaint department explain my story to them. They showed me that somebody be calling me. This was four months ago. I still have not received a call from anybody. I feel as if I wasted my time call in a complaint department because nothing happened. I hope nobody else has a bad experience in the Bridgewater Lowe’s store. Good luck. Chuck

Lowe's delivers the roof materials on a Monday and roofer was to start on Tuesday. All materials was not delivered so the roof did not start. 3 weeks later he start and finished in 5 business days last then a week I got leaks. Call roofer. Could not get him. Called Lowe's and they put a work order in. He came out next day and put a mess of roofing cement by the chimney which stop that leak but this is a temporary repair. The other leaks he is telling me the design of the roof ain't letting the drip edge to lay flat. Still leaking and he is to be out in a couple of days and he is not sure how to fix it. Try to call the lowe's store and they pick up and hang up. Sales guy will not return calls or text.
I guess the roof will need to be repaired when the lowe's warranty is up in a year by a professional roofer. Ridge shingles are space out so there is a black transition line on them. No one at lowe's seems to care about the roof leaking. Ask if they could send out different installer to see if this was installed correctly and they refuse say I have to stick with the installer who did this work. I am trying to cancel the gutter job from lowe's and was told I got to drive an hour to the store because they do not answer their phones. Do not use Lowe's for installation. Hire a professional that does it for a living. The lowe's are not professionals. They are poor contractor who could not find work because they suck.

I had over 1000 ft.² of carpet installed by Lowe’s. The seams were not done correctly and I had a large seam appear across my entire master bedroom eight months after the installation. The installation was under warranty for a year. After six months of trying to get assistance and at least four visits to my house by different inspectors, Lowes now says there’s nothing they can do despite the fact that we have areas that are missing padding, padding is bunched up in doorways, and a large seam is visible in the master bedroom and all hall doorways, Would recommend strongly against using Lowe’s flooring installation.

Just can't believe you can't even buy reputable products anymore without a review. Been shopping at Lowe's for years. Bought their house paint, Valspar, to paint my bathroom. Did the proper steps. Washed the walls and door. Let it air dry for 24 hours. Very thick paint, so one coat was fine. Took longer to spread because it was thicker, but in the end, I was OK with that. Went to take the edging tape off, and although paint was dry...came off with the tape in many spots. Tried to just do a touchup, but you can see the difference in the stop and start of the paint. Called Lowe's to talk about it. The associate I got wasn't concerned about my grievance. Thanks. Save me the effort to not buy paint there again.

Great return policy on zero turn lawnmower. We had purchased a zero turn lawnmower from Lowe’s. It was delivered on time and the delivery driver was very courteous and professional. The lawnmower ran great but we found out our hill was too steep for that particular lawnmower. They said it could be returned within 30 days no questions asked. Two are pleasant surprise. We called the next day. Said it just did not work with our terrain. They said they be back to pick it up no questions asked and a full refund. There was no charge for them to pick it back up. They made it very simple and I appreciate them standing by the return policy.

I have had the worst experiences with Lowe's over the last several months. My family will never be shopping there again... Most recently I purchased a Samsung refrigerator in the middle of April. I was given a delivery date of July 12. On July 11, I called the store when we did not hear about a delivery time. The store still did not have my refrigerator and reassured me that it would be in the store on the 12th for delivery on the 13th. I heard the basically same story the next day and every day until July 17th. Expect for Wednesday the 14th when we got a delivery time and no one ever showed up.
I threw away groceries for my family of 5, which was not a cheap thing to just throw away. At one point I had someone in appliances tell me my refrigerator was missing and could no longer be tracked. I spoke with several managers with no clear answers until I went into the store. One even tried to pass the blame on to Samsung and had me call them. They also proceeded to tell me that if "If you order today it will be here in two weeks" after I waited three months already.
It turned out that the refrigerator was still not at the distribution center and would be another seven-plus days before it would even reach the store. The manager at the store let us choose a different floor model to have delivered to our home on Monday the 21st. The manager at the store failed to move the disposal of my old refrigerator over so it just sat in my yard. I was then reassured that the fridge would be at an appropriate temperature in about two hours, so I went FINALLY went to the grocery store for food for my three children, my husband, and myself only to find the next morning that it never did get cold and a week's worth of groceries were now spoiled.
My husband and I went to the store to try to fix this issue because Samsung said the refrigerator was fine. Turns out the floor model was broken and they delivered it anyway; there were floor models running in the store that got substantially colder than the one in our house. At this point, there are four of the same refrigerator coming into the store on Wednesday, and we will have one on Thursday. This did not happen. Retail Direct showed up at my home, didn't call, didn't knock on the correct door, and just left. My husband left work early for the second time for this delivery. Then it was scheduled for Friday - my husband goes into work late because we are their first stop of the day. Suddenly this time they cannot get the refrigerator up the side of our house - even though they moved the same fridge up on Monday.
My husband offers to remove the railing, and they decline saying that they have other customers, but continue to sit in front of my house talking with their boss and selling old appliances to the local scrapper. The next day, Saturday, July 21, we are scheduled for delivery between 1-5. They show up at 9:30am, don't knock, don't call, just leave because the railing isn't down yet. We are told we should still remove the railing and our delivery would be moved to the end of the day. This did not happen. Our delivery FINALLY came to us on Monday, July 26. Then, the delivery drivers only take the broken Lowe's refrigerator and not the one we paid to be disposed of. They still refuse to take the fridge. The first time was because there was a cooler in front of it! It is still in our yard! This is only our most recent issue.
Around the same time as ordering the refrigerator, we also remodeled our kitchen and purchased a new washer and dryer and struggled with delivery then too. It took an extra two weeks to get our kitchen cabinets, and at one point when I went to the store to get a missing piece, my order "wasn't there" and I had to fight with customer service at the store and make multiple trips to get an end cap that I already paid for. The washer arrived substantially later than it was supposed to, even though the dryer made it, and the store gave us a hard time about returning unneeded materials that were purchased the day before when we had a receipt.
Lastly, about a year ago, we order materials to redo our fence around our yard. Lowe's canceled the order without telling us on the day of delivery and tried to KEEP OUR MONEY!!! Our bank had to go after the store to get a more than one thousand dollar refund. I would not recommend Lowe's to a single person. WE have not seen a single dollar off for any issue we have had. Not even a refund on the fee for disposal of the refrigerator. The only compensation we received was an upgrade on our fridge, after a week's worth of miscommunication and headaches, and even that was a disaster. Worst. Customer. Service. Ever.

I had Lowe's deliver a new washer and dryer this morning. I have never had a worse experience from a delivery standpoint in my 80+ years of life. The driver from Lowe's in Clayton, NC (Richard **) was the most uncooperative, nasty, irritating, noncommunicating person I have ever dealt with. If Lowe's has this type of contractor working for them, they should not be in business. Everything I said to him, he argued about. I called the store manager to inform him of my concern and he seemed to have very little interest and never even said he was sorry for my irritation. I just wish I had read some of the delivery reviews (most all bad) before buying from them.

I had a recent visit to Lowe's in Sylva NC. I had purchased a washing machine with delivery for my home. I was told the washing machine would be at my home between 1300-1600. The washing machine did not arrive. I call Lowe's who stated it could be four more hours. No one came or ever called. I went to Lowe's where I was rudely told by an associate Mark it was the third party delivery and they had put the delivery off for two days. I replied to Mark that was not my problem. I needed the washing machine. He stated I can not help that we have already loaded the truck for the day. So basically, I was out of luck.
I asked to speak with the manager. Mark stated the manager was off this weekend. It was one of the worse experiences from an associate I've ever had. The associate Mark has been with Lowe's for many years. I'm at the point of thinking this is a culture that Lowe's allows their associates to be so rude and closed-minded to listening to their customers. Shame on Lowe's of Sylva NC and Mark. I will not be given this store one more dime of my hard worked money.

I order my two patios and pay for the contractor measurement and subject matter expertise back in March since I do not know how patio doors work. I got the missing leading information from the Lowe's Sale Associate, Mr. Michael **, by saying that the contract can do the framework and is only half an inch on either side of the door and can order the standard door. You shouldn't have any issues. Also, it is much cheaper than the custom door. Thus both my wife and I were excited and ordered the two standard doors. Finally, on June 30th, the door gets installed. However, there was a huge gap on the left side by ~3 inches and the right side by ~3 inches, and by the way, the vertical height is now ~4 inches short (picture attach). Thus, I stopped the installation process to clarify since that was part of the way that got explained to me.
After no contact for two weeks, I finally contact CPO multiple times and head to the store twice to speak to the Assistance Store Manager (Mr. Tony **). We went round and round for a month now, and finally, CPO came back said I only have two options to move forward. Since I signed the order base on the misinformation provided by the Sale Associate, I'm now held accountable with:
Option 1: To move forward with how bad the door is currently looking now and continue (Bill: $6,241.70).Option 2: Pay the Delta cost of a custom door for ~$5K per door to make it look better. Now I'm getting held at ransom with a new total bill of $16,241.70. To make the Door fit.

Purchased custom Pella windows in April 2021. Took advantage of a 0% interest special and 15% off entire purchase. Receive a call that my windows would ship on July 27, 2021 and installed some time after this just in time for the annual hurricane season so we were fine with this. We made our usual winter vacation plans which include 2 grand children weddings etc. Just received a call that we will not be receiving our windows until Oct 30th, maybe to say we're disappointed is an absolute understatement, Keep in mind Lowe's was paid in full by the CC company offering this 0% rate. Their customer service rep of course apologized but could not commit to the new date which is par for the course since they've been paid in full so basically I was told, "Too bad so sad for you!"
I will never again purchase anything from this company, however I doubt they could care since I'm only one lowly peon. I will see what the Florida Dept of Consumer Affairs says since I have on recourse if this install goes sideways.. BEWARE OF THIS OUTFIT.

Unbelievable. You have to see the outcome. This job is incomplete. I've talked to the manager of Lowe's, customer service also corporate office and have gotten no results. They had a company name Keller Flooring to install my tile and they never completed the job. The floor is absolutely unacceptable, gout levels are high and low crown molding was damaged while doing job. Talked to Keller manager name Alfredo. He came out and brought back same guys to remove and replace a couple pieces of tile. I was really shocked because I thought they were here to finish the job. We then spoke to Alfredo again and he gave me another date to come out but no one has showed up yet. Can somebody please help?

I need to warn others who may be thinking of hiring Lowe's Installation service. I was given a date of 6/8, then 6/28, and called today to be told, at first, it would be 8/28. I was then put on hold to be told now it is 9/3. In each step of delays, I had to be the one who called after each deadline had passed. Lowe's Installation did not even call to let me know there were delays. If you're thinking of saving a few hundred dollars vs. going with a local installer, please think again. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM DOOR install. I could have purchased the door inside a Lowe's store and had a local installer do the job for a few hundred more dollars. Now, I am stuck until 10/24 (by contract) to cancel the install if it is not done by then.

In order to avoid uselessly driving to Lowe's, I always check if the product I am looking for is in stock by going either to their website or by using their app. This has proven time and again to be a waste of time, the information is often wrong - not all the time, just enough to have you waste trip time and gasoline to continue hoping. Some of the employees are helpful but almost always end up saying that you cannot trust the inventory in the system - even their internal system. In addition, at times the product is actually in the store but at a different location - someone decided to move it without updating the system. Really frustrating.

My husband and I have both Home Depot and Lowe's cards. We have a rental home that had been completely destroyed and needed to replace windows, doors, cabinets, showers, tubs lighting, etc. It has been such a daunting task. Lowe's has only made it harder for us. First, when you order multiple items in one transaction, they will still come piecemeal. I understand that because many of the items are coming from other stores. The problem is, when you receive one item, the online tracking tells you all items were received and you are unable to track the rest of your order unless you call customer service, wait an hour + to speak to someone, and they, in turn, track down that order and give you a new tracking number. Then, you're forced to repeat the cycle all over again once another item arrives.
Next, we ordered a set of kitchen drawers and they were sent to a city an hour away to a Lowe's that was so far off the beaten path that we had to use Googe maps to find it. When we arrived, the drawer cabinet was on a cart, waiting for us. We checked out quickly and headed to our vehicle. When we arrived at our vehicle, however, we noticed that one side of the cabinet was damaged and took it back to the store. The person who helped us inside the store said that she had to put it in the computer and that it didn't speak to the other computer that sent my receipt so it would take a few hours for the return to show up. It has now been 2 days and I still have no indication that the price of this cabinet was removed from our purchases. Now, I will have to wait for more than an hour to reach someone in Customer service on Monday to try and get this fixed.
Last, but certainly not least, we had a curved glass shower door with the wall surround that was supposed to have arrived a week ago. The day it was supposed to have arrived, we tracking showed that there was an "Emergency Delay" and that it wouldn't arrive until the following Thursday. On Thursday, we received our tub instead. The shower was then scheduled to arrive today. Today, my husband received a call from Lowe's stating that the shower doors and wall were not at the Lowe's store when the truck arrived to pick them up and that it is, once again, rescheduled to arrive this Thursday. Our plumber has been waiting to install these items for a while, now. Our flooring cannot go in until we have the shower installed. I have no faith that the shower will arrive this Thursday, either.
Home Depot, on the other hand, has given us clear and concise tracking on every item we've purchased online. In fact, the items we just purchased online 2 days ago will probably arrive before the last vestiges of our Lowe's order of a month ago. The great part about having worked with Home Depot is, I know exactly where each piece is, I haven't had to return one item, I know exactly when they will arrive and I've had ZERO surprises from them.
Because there is a new Lowe's in my town, my husband and I have neglected our nearest Home Depot for a long time. That ends beginning today. I'm not shopping in Lowe's until I can no longer remember how awful this experience has been. And since I tend to remember everything for a very long time, there's a good chance I'll die before I shop there again.

My Trex deck was done in September - October of 2018. It was put in with no spacing, the board are curling and coming up. I paid $11600.00 to Lowe's who I believed was a reputable company. Was I wrong! They're not even willing to send professional to even look at the deck. It's been a nightmare for close to 3 years. When rains I have a pool on my deck. I've given up talking them they've offered me $2500 for what is a $9000 repair job. Do not use Lowe's there customer service is ridiculous. I'm taken them to court for not responding to the problem.

As LOWE'S has taken the money beforehand they started delaying my work. I am repeatedly following up and nothing moved till I landed in the store. As soon as I spoke to the person in the flooring department immediately it got sorted and I was booked for the next-day installation. On the day of the installation, the same thing continues. The person called me and told me that carpet has not been cut. It is a frustrating situation and would not recommend anybody to go to LOWE'S for carpet.

We replaced our original home windows with Pella Wood windows through Lowe's for $20,000. Worst decision ever. The service was awful from the start. They got the sizing wrong multiple times sending different people to measure from the people giving us the quote from the people taking our payment and promising different things, finally we got tired of trying to fix their errors and decided to live with the sizes they delivered. They did an awful install, our contractor had to fix their poor job and finish painting the windows which they were supposed to do by contract but then said they weren’t. And finally, we are now realizing they never even delivered the window screens. Just awful all around. Stay away from Lowe's windows install if you can help it. Home Depot will likely be better.

I have been purchasing appliances from my local VA Lowe's store for almost 20 yrs. Never a problem and excellent delivery and installation service. This week I purchased a dryer and was entitled to free delivery and installation which has always included hooking up to vent, door opening change, leveling, and power on to make sure it works. I ordered from the Rocky Mount store website, telephoned the appliance dept. with questions and stopped in at the appliance dept. in the store to make sure all this would be done. Employee even said he was making a note on the delivery ticket that we needed the vent changed from back to side which they also did with the last dryer we bought from them.
Delivery was on time but they just set the dryer inside the door and took the old dryer for which we paid $30 to remove and would not do any installation. They said they did not do that, just delivered. My order ticket says otherwise. So I now had a dryer I could not use. We are senior citizens and did our best to try and do what needed to be done but found out we needed a kit which NO ONE has in stock in person or on line. We were never told about this kit when we explained we needed to change the vent location. There seems to be a major back order on the kit at this time. The store manager was supposed to call me to discuss it and that was 2 days ago and nothing so far. Since then I have talked to 2 other people and found out they had similar experiences with the new delivery provider Lowe's has now. I will NEVER EVER buy an appliance from Lowes again.

Making things right after 9 days of waiting for our ceiling to be repaired. I want to advise you that on Monday afternoon Marco's sent out two men to repair the sheetrock damage/hole in our ceiling. The two guys did a really good job on the repair. They were not employees of Marco's but someone he contracted out to do the work. Marco's kept in contact with us about the repair and came out today to make sure we were satisfied. That meant a great deal. Thank you Marco's for making things right for my family. I will recommend and use Marco's AC & Heating Services again.
Original Review: June 10, 2021
On 06/04/21 I had a Lowe's Certified Installer (Marco's AC & Heating) come to my home and install an HVAC System (AC outside unit and new coil in the attic). During the attic installation one of the men fell through the ceiling. Not completely to the floor but he was hanging from the beams in the attic over our dining room where our 6 YO granddaughter was doing virtual learning with her classmates. Besides Sheetrock, insulation and being startled a he appeared to be OK. We then checked on the young man and he said he was OK. I immediately started taking photos and checking for other possible damage. I contacted Lowe’s. I explained the situation and they asked to send photos and wanted to know if I spoke with the owner of the company.
I explained I was going to contact him after speaking with them. I text the owner of Marco's AC & Heating and explained what happened and sent him photos. He said he would get someone out to repair the huge hole in our ceiling the tomorrow (Saturday) no later than Monday. I called and emailed Lowe's and told them what Marco's told me. On Saturday Marco's text and said the repair guy couldn’t make. He would try to come out on Monday. I said OK. On Monday Marco text and said the repair guy is still on another job and can’t make it out until Tuesday at the latest Wednesday. I said OK. I contacted Lowe's and explained that my ceiling was still not fixed and their certified installer keeps changing the date someone is coming to repair the ceiling.
The young lady asked if I would hold on the phone line while she called Marco's. I said sure. She called and Spoke with someone at Marco's who told her they would have someone at our house between 9:00 – 12:00 on Tuesday to repair the ceiling. I thanked her for the information and she said, "Call us back if it wasn’t done." Immediately after I ended the call with Lowe's Marco's text and said he would have someone come out on Wednesday to repair the ceiling. Which was a day later than what someone told the Lowe's call taker. I said OK.
I called Lowe's back and said Marco's lied. They told me Wednesday not tomorrow (Tuesday). She asked was I OK with that?? I asked if I had a choice. She said, "Let us know if no one shows to do the repair." I said OK. On Wednesday Marco's text and said the repair guy can’t make it. He will try to make it Thursday morning (today). Today he text and said the repair guy has to go out of town to pick up the paint to match our ceiling (he has never been to our home to see the exact color of the ceiling) and would not very able to pick it up until late Friday.
Marco's asked if the repair guy could come by on Saturday to fix the ceiling. I said no. No one will be home. He asked what day will I be available. I said, "Today and tomorrow" (Friday). He said, "What day next week." I said, "Monday." I called and emailed Lowe's and got crickets! No return call or email. This is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! We have been more than accommodating with our patience and time. However we still have a huge hole in the ceiling and no positive answer/idea when it will be repaired or if it will be repaired by Lowe's/Marco's AC Heating or we will have to pay out our own pocket to repair the ceiling.

Redmond, Oregon: I started with the Installation Sales Person who is in charge of All Installation Programs that Lowe's does, more than 20 from fences, hot water tanks, solar, countertops etc. My experience with James Hardie Siding was what she picked up from the Brochure and constantly reminded how beautiful it would look. And that you had Lowes Guarantee that it would be done right. Met at Home with Sales person and Contractor which I was told had done many Hardie Sidings for Lowes. Walk site Contractor indicated what could and could not be done. He returned later to measure. Next step was to decided color, type of Siding, Shingles or Lap Board and what would be done. Decided and Sales Person would figure price.
Returned Later. Had figures, agreed, wrote up Contract, wasn't precise enough in a couple areas, Not mentioning the Soffits, was assured but ask to add. Contract was rewritten and accepted. Was offered a 2 year interest free loan which I later very much regretted. The Siding chosen was Factory Painted, required a 5 week lead time. Material arrived. Original Contractor lost his Crews. Lowes tells me they have another Contractor with Hardie Experience who would be doing. They arrived, 5 men, the youngest who as the Gofer, was the Spokesperson-They spoke what you would call BROKEN ENGLISH. First day they measured the House and Inventory the Material, understand that to get more would take 5 weeks.
They said everything was there to get the Job Done. Issues started right away, no Porta Potty. The Sales Person was now the PROJECT MANAGER. She tells me that the Homeowner usually provided their Bathroom. She tells me she's checked with the Zone Installation Manager. Lowes ended up providing. There was disagreement on what was to be done. This wasn't helped with words needed to be interpreted. After emails to the PROJECT MANAGER I'm told Zone Manager would like to come out. He did bringing Store Manager, Project Manager and her Boss. The gist of that was we know we've had a rocky start but we're here to say we want to get this job done right.
Week later Zone Manager out again and am advised that the Soffits can't be put up as planned. The Hardie Board is too heavy to nail. Some discussion on why am I being told now. Original Contractor saw no issue, the Replacement Contractor hadn't seen an issue. Later showing a Hardie Rep a picture was told that it could have been installed. However it would still be fully enclosed. It wasn't. Also told that Corner Trim Boards had not been ordered, not enough time to get FACTORY PAINTED, okayed to get locally and paint. Following week Zone Manager out, now told they need to get a few lap boards that are short. Out the next week and discussed Trim Boards some had been pieced together, rather than 10" board 2 5" were joined, discussed other areas that hadn't been trim.
There had been ongoing discussion with the Gutters that had been removed with a significant amount of damage. At one point it was because they were old and beat up which ended when I mention they had been installed about 18 months prior. The work took about 5 weeks. On the second to last day I'm told they won't be reinstalling the Gutters and also neither the Electrical which was 11 lights and 6 outlet boxes. Many of the boxes had been broken. The Caulking which was color matched to Siding had a 15 year warranty on color. It did required install specs be followed. THEY WEREN'T therefore NO WARRANTY. The Caulking had been Tooled (smeared) so that it loses its color pigment and by the way TURNS WHITE, THE SIDING IS BROWN.
The way the Soffits were finished wasn't correct, they were not fully enclosed and the workmanship was Sloppy. The Trim Boards around the Windows were Hand Painted, no TAPING, the Vinyl Window Frames were SLOPPY PAINTED IN AN UNEVEN MANNER. You have Vinyl Windows so you don't have to Paint. Now they need to be Painted and will continue to be painted. Caulking was smeared onto the Vinyl. The Contract required disputes go to Arbitration and the specific Arbitration says no reimbursement for Legal Fees.
At the start I mention why I regretted the Interest Free Loan. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have made the final payment. Big Mistake. Also in the Contract they PROHIBIT CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. I was left with Small Claims Court, $10,000 limit in Oregon. This would not have covered my costs to fix. I filed, Lowes was allowed to have their Attorney Represent them. My evidence was discarded as "hearsay". All I WANT TO DO NOW IS EXPOSE HOW DECEITFUL LOWES CAN BE.

Kobalt ratchet wrenches carry a lifetime warranty. The packaging, signage & website displays a "no hassle" exchange policy for defective tools. As stated on their website, the warranty states, "just bring in your tool and it will be exchanged, no questions asked". So at 7:30AM on June 7th 2021 I brought in my 7/16ths ratchet wrench to the Chicago store on Narragansett avenue and the store manager denied the return. I no longer had the receipt but according to the Kobalt "no hassle" policy, I didn't need one. They asked for my name, phone number and ID, which I provided. Even though this goes against Kobalt's stated "no questions asked" policy. The store manager even printed out what is shown in the computer system. It shows the correct part number but also shows that a receipt is required. This is the exact opposite of what their own website displays for the tool.
Since this is a nationwide database, Lowe's is denying legitimate claims at the corporate level. Lowes is violating federal trade commission laws and could face fines for this type of behavior. I called the Lowes corporate number and filed an incident report with their agent on the phone. So now regional and district managers can see what is going on. No one from Lowes has contacted me. I'd like someone from corporate to explain to me how packaging, store signage and the website can say one thing and their computer system at the store registers can say the opposite. I'd also like them to process this "Big Hassle" return without having to file for class action lawsuit. I see online that many others are experiencing the same thing I am.

In Dec 2020, a few weeks apart, I purchased two identical 18 cu ft Top Freezer Frigidaire refrigerators from Lowe's; Model # FFTR1814TW. Within a few weeks fridge #1 had problems with the seal on the freezer door. Now the 2nd one is making loud noises. Re #1 fridge, Lowe's service dept failed in numerous attempts to resolve the issue and now they refuse to stand behind the problem. They referred us to the manufacturer. Even though the problem initially occurred within 30 days of the delivery, Lowe's nor Frigidaire will stand behind the product. Frigidaire cited they have no responsibility because the extended warranty was not purchased. THIS IS a racket!!!
If a store/manufacturer is not going to stand behind their products for at 90 days, customers should be informed accordingly! Re Fridge #2, given the fight in attempting to get # 1 fixed, we feel it is a lost cause to try to resolve it with Lowe's or Frigidaire and are filing a complaint with our IL AG's office. Personal recommendation: Do not buy any appliance from Lowe's, and do not buy Frigidaire.

You will have, once you receive the shocking explanation from the rep a 30 days period to pay in full. If you can't pay it, you will pay all the interest you thought you was avoiding for that whole year. Pandemic, or unemployed won't save you. Make your own judgment about Lowe's credit card.

When we received a call confirming delivery, we learned that this was not true and if purchasing a gas dryer, we are required to go in store to order a gas install. We went up to the store and the rep said they never recommend ordering online because this is a common issue. She cancelled our order and resubmitted it in store, but said that since it was Friday, she wouldn’t be able to contact the gas contractor until Monday but that she would have them expedite the install (the rest of the order was installed on Saturday). She told us to contact her by noon on Monday if we haven’t heard back from her. It’s now almost 5:00pm, we’ve called multiple times with no response.
We contacted the customer service and installation departments who told us the gas contractor would contact us during whatever their normal timeframe is, and they can’t help us any further. This has been a nightmare of an experience and we would not make a major purchase here again. We ordered online because we have almost no free time due to work, but were told incorrect information and were forced spend hours in the store anyway resolving this. However, it’s still not resolved and we can’t use our dryer.

My husband and I purchased custom vinyl impact windows & doors from Lowe's on 4/25/2020. Our first mistake was agreeing to pay in full up front (Lowe's required). The windows & doors were ordered from Eastern Architectural Systems. We were told it would take up to 4-6 weeks. On 6/11/20 we were notified the windows were at the store & install co would contact us with apt. We were notified of delivery for 6/22/20, waited all day with no delivery. After multiple attempts to reach someone at store level to find out the status, we were finally told by Asst Mgr. that our windows were ordered incorrectly and will need to be remeasured & reordered. After a lot of back & forth, we were told the doors were at least the right size & could be put in. We were notified of delivery of doors for 6/30/20, again a no show.
Finally received the delivery of doors on 7/8/20, but not without an issue. Apparently the delivery person gave our paperwork to another delivery party on their route with all our personal information on it. That customer contacted me to inform me of the mistake. On 7/9/20 they came out to install the sliding glass doors, only to discover Lowe's ordered one of the doors to open on the wrong side. A new door was ordered in the meantime. Keep in mind, these are all custom windows, doors & transoms. We also discovered the permit Lowe's ordered was incorrect as well. We went to the store to speak with the Mgr. in the Install Dept. to go over all the details again so there wouldn't be any more mistakes and have them submit changes for the permit.
In the meantime, we have made multiple attempts to speak to the Store Mgr. in person and through customer service. He avoided us like the plague. When we did briefly speak to him on the phone, he insisted he would contact us weekly regarding the process and we would be compensated at the end for all their mistakes. Never heard from him again, and later was told he left the company. The install co. returned multiple times for minor repairs and had to reorder the screen doors that didn't function properly. Multiple delays in the delivery of the windows and the replacement door.
We finally received the windows & they installed them on 10/2/20. More problems yet again. Two of the windows opened in the wrong direction and needed to be reordered for a 2nd time. While installing, we noticed the transom windows were being installed above the windows & we contracted for them to be installed below the full windows. Luckily we caught it before they got too far into the install. Poor communication by Lowe's and their staff & contractors. It took until 12/30/20 for the replacement windows & doors to be installed. After install, we discovered the trim pieces that hold the screens in place were missing on 2 of the window frames. We contacted Lowes again multiple times and still have not heard from anyone regarding the status. Two separate times we were told a new work order was placed & then told they were never ordered.
Today, I spoke with the install Dept. at Lowe's who put me on hold while inquiring on the status. Again, no order was made & I immediately asked to speak to the manager. He did not get on the phone, but relayed a message that they will order new screens for the windows. I'm not in need of new screens, I merely need the vinyl trim that hold the screen in place. This job still hasn't been closed with the building dept. after 13 months because of Lowe's multiple mistakes. I will never again recommend Lowe's. I hope we can get this resolved sometime soon so we can be done with them once and for all! They haven't heard the last of us yet.

I purchased a dishwasher from Lowe's and had it installed by one of their installers Simple Resolutions in Dallas, Texas. I had a dishwasher installed on 4/23 and discovered later that night that there was no insulation panel surrounding the dishwasher. I reached out to Lowe's and they said all they can do is have the installer come back out and look at it. When the installer got around to coming back out a week later on 5/3, he lied and said the dishwasher did not come with insulation. I called and spoke with the manufacturer Bosch and they confirmed that they do provide an insulation panel with all of their dishwashers. I called Lowe's again and they said they would reach out to the store that the dishwasher came from and get back with me.
A day or two later someone else from Lowe's called and said they were still waiting to hear from the store and someone from Lowe's would call me back in a day or two with an update (this was either on 5/4 or 5/5). And I still don't know what the store was even supposed to do about it since the insulation panel is provided by the manufacturer. After waiting the rest of the week I called Lowe's back on Saturday 5/8 and explained that I was waiting to hear back from them about a dishwasher installation that had been done incorrectly.
The person I spoke with said all she could do was put in a work order to have the installer come back out and see what needed to be done about it. I explained that the installer had already been back out for this issue and had made the claim that there was no insulation for the dishwasher provided by the manufacturer and that I had already confirmed with the manufacturer that there should be an insulation panel. She still insisted that the only thing she could do was put in a work order and then go from there. What was the point of having the same person come out for a third time and tell me the same lie again?
I finally insisted on speaking to a manager and spoke to a manager named Rose. Rose at first insisted she would have to place a work order to have the installer come back out. I argued that there is no sense in sending them out again since they had already been out for this and I had already confirmed with the manufacturer there should be insulation. I also said I did not want the same installer coming out that had messed up and lied about it in the first place. Why should Lowe's continue to work with Simple Resolutions if they don't know what they're doing and lie about something as simple as an insulation panel? She finally said that she would have to call the manufacturer herself to confirm that they do provide an insulation panel. She then said that the manufacturers are not open on weekends and she would reach out to them on Monday and I would hear back from her Tuesday 5/11.
I explained again that I had already been waiting a week for a follow up call from Lowes and I had low expectations that she would actually follow up with me. I also let her know I would not be calling Lowe's back again and they would not be getting any money from me until this is installed correctly. She assured me that I would hear back from her and now a week later 5/15 I still have not had anyone follow up with me. I've got a dishwasher I can't use and I'm not paying for until it's installed correctly. Lowe's can either fix it or come and collect their dishwasher as far as I'm concerned.

I am horrified of the people that Lowe's has contracted out their work to. Incompetence does not even begin to explain. We paid in full for a backsplash to be installed and with each passing day there is a new reason why the team cannot do it. An estimator came to the house for I am STILL not sure what reason because when the workers showed up to start the job they were insistent on not being able to complete it due to some of the sheetrock exposing brown paper. We were told the job required "Wonderboard" going up first. Fine. Why didn't the estimator tell us this so that we would be ready before the workers came? Don't know. Could be because he admitted to us that he's "not much of a tile guy." THAT'S COMFORTING!!! We could have avoided taking a day off from work for nothing to get done. We were these materials would cost an extra $250, along with an extra $200 in labor.
Turns out that these boards sell for less than $9 per sheet and we needed THREE of them. After ironing out this issue, because someone clearly failed 3rd grade math, we were told to put extender brackets on our outlets so that the covers line up with the wonderboard. My husband broke his back to get it done quickly so they would be ready for when the installers come. The morning of, about 15 minutes before the installers were rescheduled to come, we were told one guy called out sick and so no one would be coming!! Again, this would have been another day taken off from work for NO reason.
After advocating for ourselves, the project manager had to DO HIS JOB and reorganize his team so that someone could get our project started since we were told that the man who called out sick was out until Monday. The installer finished with the Wonderboard after working for roughly 90 minutes, at about 1pm, and left. Before he left he said he would be back the very next day (Friday) first thing in the morning. Did the project manager even check in or follow up with us? Of course not. We take off a third day only to be told that no one was even coming on Friday!! If you are going to contract out to these outside companies, then they have to know what the hell they are doing. If your are a project manager, then guess what, you have to manage your job. Never, ever again will we be using Lowe's for the rest of our Home Improvement projects.

Stay away!!!! If I could give zero start I would. It has been the worst experience I’ve ever gone through. We purchased flooring 3/21, countertop 3/24 and backsplash 4/28 and only thing installed has been the countertops on 5/8. Almost 2 months later!! Janette sold us the flooring and that was the ONLY, I repeat, the ONLY thing that has gone smooth. She knows what she’s doing. Cody helped us with countertops and has been a headache since the very beginning. He referred us to Lauren for the backsplash which wasn’t great either. They lack communication so much it will make you want to pull out your hair. Tom (the manager) has no knowledge in any of those departments yet we were referred to him every time we would ask for the store manager. Demo guys damaged the drywall. Which for one, we had no idea the backsplash would be demo’d.
We didn’t even have a quote yet!!! We had no idea what a backsplash would cost us yet our backsplash was removed. We had to harass them for a quote. Finally a month later we had measurements taken (after a previous no call no show from measurement guy) and then had to harass them for a quote which Lauren didn’t seem to happy about. When we made one of our first trips to Lowe's to address the issues which was the no call no show Cody said “well, you know you can email me” yet he doesn’t always reply to your emails. They stated they were going through a transition of companies so that they were doing several no calls no shows. When my gf went in to pay for the countertop the person who sold it to her didn’t ask about edging. We had no idea until the demo guy asked me about it. I told that to Cody and he said because of all our issues that he would change the edging to what we wanted at no cost.
Well, when countertops finally arrived for installation, guess what? Edging wasn’t changed to what we wanted. It gets worse.... The countertop was SHORT!!! It did not fit our countertop!!! So they had to take them back! The return from the installer was fast. Idk if it’s the installer acknowledging their mistake or because at that point I had enough and called corporate. When my gf went to pay for the difference in price for countertop after demo, the cashier “accidentally” hit the wrong button and refunded the order instead of making it to where she just pays for the difference. Still no word on when they will fix backsplash and we’ve had it demo’d since 4/9. When we went in last week of April Tom the manager said he would PERSONALLY call the new installer when they begin working for them which was May 1st to get it fixed and for an installation date and that he would PERSONALLY call me and it’s 5/13 and I have yet to receive a call from him.
I thought everything would be better now that Lowe's Installation Support is involved and helping me but it’s been a week since they have been trying to get an installer to come fix the drywall and installers don’t contact me and when they get them on the line with me the installer said they have no idea they are supposed to fix the drywall. They don’t see that in the work order. Sooo I’m currently waiting for backsplash to be fixed and installed so that I can have my kitchen back because I forgot to mention, I’ve been cooking outside or getting takeout since the demo on 4/9.
Each employee from Lowe's support tell me they will have someone call me the next day to make sure installers called me. I get no call from installer and no call from Lowe's support so I have been forced to call every day and I guess continue to call every day until they come fix and install my backsplash. And to think we still have flooring to be installed which was purchased 2 months ago. By the time all this is over and with ALL the issues I’ve had and continue to have, I think we will finish our remodeling in a year. These are just some of the issues I’ve had with Lowe's. Please, go elsewhere for your home remodeling. You will regret it if you don’t. Save yourself a headache and stress.

After the error was discovered, we were told that the gazebo would be delivered the next day. This also did not happen and I was told that instead of delivering it to me they "accidentally" sold the gazebo to someone else even though it was supposed to be marked sold!

First they took my $2,000 for a new washer and dryer. Then they failed to show on the confirmed delivery date and didn't even call to warn me. When I finally reached a human being on a Lowe's 800 number - after repeated unanswered calls to the store number and after the Lowe's website said it had no information - I was told, oops, my Lowe's store hadn't even received the merchandise I ordered two weeks before and it would be another two weeks before they could make delivery.
When the washer and dryer did arrive on the new date, I was told, oops, these were European machines that couldn't be installed in the US. The delivery guys said, yep, this is the kind of stuff they see Lowe's do all the time. And when I called the store to complain, Lowe's blamed ME for ordering European machines. This seemed odd since the Lowe's website, which was so happy to get my $2,000, said nothing about selling non-US-compliant merchandise from a US store for delivery to a US address to replace US-compliant machines made by the same European manufacturer. The guy didn't even apologize. Bottom line: Never buy a major appliance from Lowe's.

The install required that I purchase new connections, (water lines, electrical plugs, flexible dryer vent hose) which I did.

They put the old the old one on but broke the clamps from my old dryer so no clamps. They then tried to install the washer but the drain hose would not reach so the installer cut the clamp that was holding it to free up more hose. (I now believe he cut the hose when he cut the clamp.) They pushed the washer back into the cabinet and departed. Next day washed the first load and walked in the laundry room and found the floor totally wet.
Called Lowe's customer care and was told the store manager would call me the next morning, no call so I went to the store. The manager told me the installers were scheduled to be at my house that afternoon to fix the problem but they never showed up, nor did anyone from Lowe's call.

My husband and I bought a Samsung washer, dryer, and refrigerator back on Jan 9, 2020. This qualified us for rebate **, which was a rebate for 10% back on our appliance purchase. After submitting the initial rebate, I received a reply that we did not qualify because the appliances were not on the same order. This was because the washer and dryer were not in stock and were put on order and the refrigerator was there, so there were separate invoices, but everything was purchased together in one transaction. So, once everything was explained (though it seemed pretty self-explanatory), we were approved for the rebate and told it would take a couple of weeks to process. Then COVID happened and the works shut down. We patiently waited for the rebate, but received no updates, nothing.
In August, I figured enough time had passed and called the rebate center. I was told that our rebate was still being processed because the pandemic really set them back. I was told it would be another month or two. So we patiently waited. In November, I called again, I got the run around, and got no answers. I have called multiple times now, I cannot get a straight answer on where our rebate is. Our patience has run out. My husband and I have spend quite a lot over the years at Lowe’s, but I refuse to spend another penny at a store that is willing to treat their patrons like this.

My wife and I decided to have our floors redone including ripping out old hardwood and replacing with new Luxury Vinyl Plank and ripping out ceramic tile in our kitchen and replacing with new ceramic tile. The total job was about 2200 sq. ft. of materials. We found flooring that we liked at Lowe's Home Improvement at 8672 US Highway 17 Bypass South, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588 and contracted with them for the purchase and installation. Like most of us we thought a large, successful business like Lowe's would do things right. We spent nearly $14,568 for the job.
Cutting to the chase, Lowes contractors left such a mess in our home that we had a cleaning estimate from ServPro of $5,700 to clean up the mess left by the contractors. There is sawdust everywhere and I mean every nook and cranny including stuck to walls, on the popcorn ceilings, caked deep on window seals, furniture and on every inch of our home. The contractors were supposed to cover furniture, but did not. They were supposed to clean up but did not.
We were warned by several small business flooring companies competing for our business that we would have problems dealing with Lowe’s Home Improvement. We did not believe them as we thought they were just trying to get our business. Were we wrong! Please heed my advice; DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH LOWE'S HOME IMPROVEMENT. Their BBB score is 1.15 out of 5. I wish we would have researched before contracting with Lowe's.
Have you ever tried to speak with a live person at Lowe’s? We made over 25+ calls (we’ve lost count) trying to reach anyone at Lowe’s Home Improvement with little or no success. I challenge anyone to try calling this store and try to speak with a Manager. We were promised call-backs by many Lowe’s associates, including Managers, but of course never received them. We are still waiting on parts for our incomplete installation and cannot get an answer or resolution.
After hearing our story and seeing our pictures, one associate at Lowe’s documented our saga and promised that Lowe’s would reimburse us for the cleaning mess left by their contractors, “any amount”. They just wanted us to send the receipt to Savannah, a person who exists but one that we have never been able to reach, similar to all the other Lowe’s associates. Savannah does not return our telephone calls or emails. I told my wife to get the reimbursement promise in writing before we fork over $5700 for cleaning.
Eventually we spoke to **, who answered the phone on one of the many call attempts to **. He said that, according to South Carolina law and their contract, the contractors who messed up our house have to come back to clean it. So the guys who trashed our home are now responsible for coming back to clean it. Great haha! Lowes claims to have reached out to them and, of course, they will have to look at their schedule and get back to us with when they can come to clean up their mess. And we wait and wait… In the meantime, we sit and sleep and breathe in sawdust. Please be smart and choose someone else.

Disgusted is an understatement! Lowe's is NOT doing PELLA windows any favors by selling and installing their product. I have been working for over TWO YEARS to resolve a window installation and damage issue caused by Lowe's, sold by Store #1047 in Oaks PA. I just want my window re-installed properly, the damage to the surrounding area repaired and my money refunded for both the materials we paid for that were not used and the time I have spent holding a supposedly reputable company accountable for their work.
The windows were installed on 4 February 2019. We informed Lowe's of two issues with the windows in April 2019. From April 2019 to June 2020 we were given the run around, bounced from person to person, ignored, etc. It wasn’t until I got the direct numbers for the Sales Rep who sold us our windows and the Contractor who installed them and called them on a weekly basis that I finally got some traction. The same contractor finally came out in June 2020 and replaced one window sash and removed and reinstalled our kitchen window. At that time it was discovered that although we had paid to have Pella Tape and Pella Sealant used on all of our windows, it was NOT used on ANY window.
In August 2020 our kitchen window that had just been installed began leaking profusely. This time I called Lowe's Corporate Customer Service because I did not want the same contractor coming out or to spend another year getting it fixed. The woman I spoke to said that she recalled our case, that she was very sorry and that she would work to get the window repaired and then address financial compensation for the Pella Tape and Sealant that was not used. This time the same contractor came out and performed some sort of repair within 2 weeks. I contacted the Lowe's customer service rep to let her know the work was done, thank her for getting it taken care of so quickly and discuss the financial compensation. Surprise, surprise she no longer returned any of my emails or phone calls.
Even less of a surprise was when the window began leaking AGAIN in September 2020. This time even worse and the drywall around the window began cracking, peeling, etc. I sent pictures and videos of the damage and the leaks; I left many voicemails and sent many emails. I was given the run around again until 12 November 2020. I was told a Lowe's Claims Rep would be coming out to inspect the damage and then schedule a date for repair of the damage as well as fix the installation. After that none of my phone calls or emails were returned.
In January 2021, I sent an email saying that if I did not hear back I would be submitting a claim in small claims court. I then called the general line 2x that week and both times was told that their Supervisor would be calling me by Friday. I never received a phone call but Friday afternoon my husband received an email from a new representative and we had to start the info process all over again. They finally sent a Pella Rep out to inspect the installation but he said he could not speak to how it was installed because he was not there, but that there is definitely a gap where water is getting in.
It is April 2021 and we are STILL WAITING on them to repair the damage and they have yet to address compensation or fixing the materials that were not used. Do yourself a favor; go with literally anyone else to do work in your home.

Ordered carpet through Lowes Wichita KS in January of 2021. Three upstairs bedrooms, hallway, and stairs. So on the scheduled date of 2-25-21 Installer and one helper from Marc's show up at 8:00, are very pleasant, and gets to work right away. They get the old carpet and padding removed from the two small bedrooms and hallway. It came time to start cutting the new carpet and they noticed that there wasn't enough, and the two rolls were different dye lots. He talked to whoever on the phone and everybody concluded it won't work. He reassured me that we would be a priority moving forward and was very apologetic. So they somehow get the carpet back in the van, pack up the tools, and they're gone. We're left with padded floors, exposed tack strips, and a living room full of three bedrooms' contents (which I am sitting amongst at the time of this writing).
Second attempt is four weeks later on 3-28-21. Different crew, of three, show up at 8:00. They start bringing tools in and unloading the padding for the master bedroom and stairs (why the other guys didn't just leave it last time I don't know). All of a sudden, one of the guys asks me if I have the carpet. Of course I said no. So he walks out and they start talking to each other and the foreman (I assume) gets on the phone while the other guys are packing back up. When my wife notices them packing up the padding, she goes out and asks what's going on. They say they have to go get the carpet and they'll be back at 10:00. Wife asks why they're taking the padding. They just state again that they'll be back at 10:00. It was pretty clear they weren't coming back. And of course they didn't.
We wait til 10:00 and call Lowe's. Talk to the flooring supervisor Melissa and she says the carpet is there and it hasn't been picked up. Not really concerned or tried to make much of an effort to help. Just said it would probably be Monday before we heard from them again. We call Marc's direct and was surprised to get an answer as this was Saturday. I told the girl what happened and she said the install supervisor Josh would call me back. That was before noon on Saturday. Here it is bedtime on Monday and haven't heard anything. Wife talked to Morgan at Lowe's today and she pretty much told her it's our problem as they have nothing to do with Marc's scheduling. So ya we're stuck with the flaky installers we didn't ask for. Thanks Lowes!
Update 3-31-21: Tuesday (3-30)- called Lowe's and requested to talk to store manager. Got Danny and he seemed to be concerned and helpful. Said he would look into it and see what we need to do. Long story short, store management involvement amounted to Marc's calling us to schedule a third install attempt. Scheduled for 4-10, which would be another 11 days.
Then today, my wife gets a call from Randall at Lowe's corporate. He says the installers reported discriminatory remarks made by us. He wouldn't tell her what was allegedly said, when it was allegedly said, which worker it was allegedly said to, nothing. He just repeatedly said Lowes has a no tolerance policy. They refunded our money and that's that. Somebody says you're a racist I guess it just has to be true. At no point did my wife or I say anything even remotely leaning towards discriminatory or racist. Hard to believe that just wanting a few rooms of carpet replaced can turn into this. Very disappointed with the world right now!

Unfortunately, Lowe's does not care about their customers at all. They have rigid policies in place which apparently do not allow their poor front line leaders to make smart decisions to help retain and their keep customers satisfied. I can say this because I recently had an experience were I attempted to return 4 tension wire rolls I bought online with receipt back to the store, and not even get my money back but a store credit, but the store said "NO" because it had been 102 days, and their policy is 90 days. I wrote to their CEO Marvin Ellison to explain the situation, and ask them to reconsider their decision based on the facts the product was unused and the product type being returned (tension wire), and the fact I was not even asking for money back and just get a store credit.
I did get a call back from corporate office from the office of the CEO, but the answer was the same "no". This to me clearly show the issue of not caring/no empathy is not a reflection of the employees themselves, but the position of their executive leadership who apparently DOES NOT STRIVE TO RESOLVE CUSTOMER ISSUES AND RETAIN THEM as future customer. So the snake (employment team) follows its head (executive leadership). Because of this experience I personally will never give a cent of my hard earned money to Lowe's ever again, or at least until there is a change in corporate culture. I much rather give my money to anyone else, even if I have to drive or pay more for a similar product. And I hope others make the same decision and give their money to other companies that care about their customers.

So all along, I've paid regular charges plus a set amount for the appliance. However, ***in the last two months,*** the minimum payment is applied to regular charges, and the remainder of the payment is applied to the promotion. The customer service rep refused to reapply the payment and remove the interest charge, which is $1.35. A negligible amount, I know, but the ensuing argument makes me want to close the account and take my business elsewhere. Isn't keeping customers happy worth $1.35?

We were so excited to purchase our Gianni sink. When it came to the installation. That's when it went downhill. We received a v/m confirmation of the date and time for the installation. We took off work. However no one ever showed up. We spoke with the manager who was clueless about the whole ordeal. Again another week before our sink could be placed. The gentleman arrived about 3:30 and stayed until 8:30. They seem discombobulated and not sure how to finish up! They came back the next day to make sure the sink was sealed. However they placed the piece under the faucet when it was suppose to go under the sink. Again another week to complete the job!

Went into Lowe's to order a door. Got everything figured out, went up to pay and the system would not accept my order. Took over 45 minutes to figure it out and cost me an extra $100 but by then I was too frustrated to fight. Got the door and I'm happy with it. Went in a year later to order another door and the same thing happened. My order would not go through their system. Waited an hour for them to figure it out.

After the repair was completed we noticed that the glass cooktop was cracked.

After I raised a stink they sent out another repair company which confirmed the cracked cooktop and confirmed it was by no fault of ours. Lowe's agreed to cover the repair. GREAT!! Unfortunately that was 2 months ago. When I called to find out when the repair was going to happen I was then told that the glass top is on Back Order from China. We have been without 1/2 our cooktop for 2 and 1/2 months. Now We have an additional issue which could become a serious liability for Lowe's. The cooktop glass is creating glass dust and chips when we use the other half and these glass chips and dust can get in our food.

They sent a tech out and I was told it was a compressor. The tech fixed it and I thought all was well. I was very wrong. That same night the freezer and refrigerator part stopped working. I had to throw away four bags of rotting meat and veggies.
They sent a new tech out and something else was wrong that takes two days to fix. Neither companies wants to step up and take responsibility or stand buy their product by replacing the refrigerator. They are fighting me tooth and nail to at least give me $300 in food loss. Keep in mind 4 bags of meat cost way more than $300 (because I didn’t buy an extended warranty.)

I used the Lowe's Home Improvement website to purchase a Kobalt snowblower. Due to my circumstances, I need a lightweight snowblower. Lowe's Home Improvement did not have such a snowblower in any of their stores, however, they did have one on their website. The snowblower requires chargeable batteries for operation, also for sale on the website. I purchased the snowblower and batteries. Note that the picture for the batteries included a picture of the battery charger. When the items arrives, there was no battery charger. That was frustrating enough. To add to the frustration:
* When I went on to the website to purchase the charger and put Kobalt 40v charger into the search, a different charger popped up which does NOT work for the Kobalt batteries.
Basically, Lowe's sells the snowblower and batteries, however, does NOT have the charger needed to charge the batteries. That, in my opinion, is an epic FAIL on Lowe's part. If the charger is no longer available, then take the other items off of the website or have some sort of notification with a suggestion as to how to get the batteries.
The only reason I am giving two stars rather than one for this review is because of the staff in the store I went to. They were friendly and tried to be as helpful as they could before realizing that the Kobalt 40v battery charger is not available for purchase at Lowe's. If it weren't for them, this would be a one star review. I was able to finally get the charger through another company, but it really should have been available with the batteries I needed to purchase to operate the snowblower.

I have been fighting this for about a year and do not know what else to do so I am going to share a brief synopsis of my story. If anyone has any help or guidance please message me **. Lowe’s Home Improvement was contracted to install a new roof and three exterior doors on my home. The professional installation Lowe’s provided has resulted in me needing to pay even more money out of pocket for the home improvements I was attempting to make.
The roof leaked after installation. In a nutshell, Lowe’s asked for a bid from a contractor of my choosing. The contractor saw the roof was not installed correctly so the entire roof needs reinstalled. Lowe’s offered $2000 to pay for the part of the roof that was leaking at the time and now another portion is leaking. This amount will not cover the cost of replacing the entire roof thanks Lowe's Home Improvement.
The three exterior doors have also been installed incorrectly. Again they asked for an independent contractor to come to my home. The contractor saw the doors were the wrong size (too small) and improperly installed. This of course has ruined the new exterior doors I purchased and caused additional water damage. Lowe’s has offered $4000 to reimburse me the amount of labor that was paid in the original installation. Another joke. This amount will not cover ordering and installing new doors and removing the mold and water damage that has occurred. I am looking at costs well beyond $6000! Please help and share so everyone is aware of the great improvements Lowe’s can make to their home as well!

I was concerned about this as entry into our home is up a flight of stairs and we would certainly need to arrange for the old unit to be removed if they couldn't assist. He assured us they would be able to move the old unit. The delivery crew absolutely refused to move the old refrigerator upon delivery of the new one. The manager of the deliveries was called, Myra, who was on speaker and I heard her tell them not to move it, even though, I told them James had assured me they would help.
I called the Lowe's store while the delivery crew was still in my home only to be told by store manager Eddie ** there was nothing they could do as it is a third party delivery company even though they drive a Lowe's delivery truck. They could have very easily moved the old unit to our downstairs area on the SAME steps they brought the new unit up.

My girlfriend pays a $1,200 order on Sunday. She left instructions for the delivery to happen on Wednesday afternoon and for them to call my cell phone when they were on their way period. We heard nothing from the company all day Sunday, all day Monday, and pretty much all day Tuesday. Late Tuesday night she received an email from Lowe's stating that they had set up a delivery window from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.. Now this was already a little upsetting. Both her and I have very busy schedules, we're trying to move into a new home and this was the only window before the holidays where we could make sure we were there before we move in.
Seeing how it was too late when we received that email to call and speak to anybody about it we went to bed then this morning my girlfriend gets a call at 8:00 a.m. stating that the delivery driver is on his way and should be there in 30 minutes. So not only are we ignoring our request for an afternoon delivery but now they're ignoring their own time window that they gave us less than 12 hours ago. So I got on the phone with the delivery driver who metaphorically threw his hands up in the air and said there's nothing he can do about it, he handed me over to one of the employees at the Canton Michigan Lowe's store who lied and said that he was the director of deliveries and repeatedly kept telling me there was nothing he could do for me besides reschedule for a different day.
After repeatedly telling him that I couldn't reschedule for another day, that it was ridiculous that they didn't bother getting in contact with us until less than 12 hours before the attempted delivery, that it was ridiculous that they couldn't just put us on the end of the delivery schedule the employee then tried to avoid letting me speak to a manager. So I decided at this point to just drive the 40 minutes to the store and pick up the appliances myself. When I was about 5 minutes out from the store the real delivery manager called me and said that all he had to do was make one phone call and suddenly there was no problem giving me an afternoon delivery. I told him I was 5 minutes out and that I would be there to talk to them shortly.
When I got there I spoke to a man named Brandon who claimed he was the store manager. This is confusing because the gentleman earlier who falsely claimed to be the delivery manager said the manager's name was Mark. So at this point I have no idea who's who. But I went ahead and explained the situation to him and asked him why he felt it was okay for his company to ignore a customer's request, ignore communicating with them, ignore the time window that they gave the customer and then lie and say there's nothing else they can do about it well Brandon didn't have an answer for that so he gave me a run around reply which I called him out on.
Well this apparently made Brandon mad. So mad that he forgot he was at his job, forgot that he was the manager of the store, forgot that he was supposed to be setting an example for his employees and proceeded to puff up his chest, start yelling at the top of his lungs and move towards me like he was going to fight me. I never in my life have ever felt like my safety was in danger because a store manager didn't like what I was saying. The long and the short of it is Lowe's charged me $1,200 to ruin my day, force me to go way out of my way, waste gas, and have my life threatened simply because a store employee at 8:00 a.m. this morning lied and said there was nothing he could do about their mistake.

Bought a refrigerator online on 11/09, the 2 stores close me supposedly had it in stock (that what the website showed- more than 1 each) but from some reason my order is to be fulfilled by a store at a city a few miles away. Okay, no problem as the delivery was scheduled for 11/15. 11/12 I got a call from the store that they only have a damage unit so they were going to change the delivery date so they could get a new unit for me. I was actually happy that they saw it and didn’t simply sent a damage one.
New delivery is scheduled to 12/04. The day before I got the email confirming the delivery window. The day of the delivery I empty my fridge, disconnected and moved away from the kitchen so they would have a clean path to deliver and connected the new one and canceled appointments I had that day. When it was getting close to the end of the delivery window I checked the order status at the Lowe's website and it had changed the delivery date to 12/13. I called the delivery company to know with they were going to deliver or not and they informed me that at 7:09am Lowes had canceled my delivery (It was 2:30pm already). When I asked why no one called me about it, they said it was Lowes responsibility as they were the ones who canceled it.
So, I called the store and the person couldn’t answer so I left my phone number and waited. In the meantime I called customer service and they told me that the store had notified them 1 hour before that they canceled delivery because they didn’t received the fridge at the store. Not much they could do. I have to wait for the delivery on the 12/13.
The store called back and the person insisted with me multiple times that my delivery was never scheduled for 12/04. Sure, I had all the trouble to empty and move my existing fridge without checking multiple times the delivery date. After I read the email with the delivery window she admitted that they canceled because they received a damage unit (but they told corporate that they disse received???). I posted on their page on Facebook and the only thing they could help with was send a document to the store asking them to fulfill my order and let me know ahead of time without they couldn’t do it on the 12/13. The email with the new delivery date was received only on 12/06. Two days after the change.
So 12/12 the store calls me and say they received a damage unit (again) and they will not deliver the next day. I asked when they will have it and the person says she is from delivery, that a new unit takes 1 to 2 weeks to arrive. When I pressure about a delivery date she said the product is backordered. I asked if they were knowingly selling products they didn’t have in stock and she transferes me to Appliances. So, the appliance expert at Lowe’s Carson City is not very polite and says she knows about my case, but she is with a client and will call me later. She never called. My new delivery date is 12/18, but I’m pretty sure they will say the unit arrived damaged again.

My issue is not with the Fountain Lowe's employees. Everyone with whom I interacted was very helpful, friendly, and professional. The issue I have is with the installation company for my hot water heater and with "corporate Lowe's". I was charged an "unusual access fee" of $197 because the hot water heater needed to be installed in an outdoor closet area that is 2 feet above the ground. I spoke with Corey with the Lowe's installation department and he said he also felt the charge was too high. However, when he spoke with "corporate Lowe's" they said they thought the charge was justified.
It was my impression that the extra cost was for additional labor, however, only one employee of the plumbing company completed the install. So, not only was the unusual access fee exorbitant, but also there was nothing extra required for the install. I would ask that I be refunded the $197 since the plumbing company charged the extra fee without having any extra labor provided. This is the type of issue that will cause me to go to other companies such as Home Depot for similar services in the future. If Lowe's cannot maintain some cost control over their install companies and if corporate Lowe's stands behind extra fees for no extra service, it makes me question what other areas are Lowe's taking advantage of customers.

I had to do a split payment using a $100 Visa gift card and my actual credit card, so I could not make the order on the Lowe's website. I was originally scheduled to pick up my item at Lowe's # 0535 in Oklahoma City on 11/5/2020. A couple days later I received a notification that my order was delayed and there was no estimated delivery date at the time. I waited a week and had still not received an update, so I reached out to Lowe's customer service who was unable to provide any details on the order for me at the time and had a store employee follow up with me.
On 11/20/20 a Lowe's store employee called me and still had no update on my order, but stated they were receiving a shipment of the item the following day, and I could pick up the item then. Since I had already placed the order and given payment information, I was going to let Lowe's fill the order as the store should have filled the order when the items were received. On 11/24/20, I still had not received a notification that my order was processed, so I went up to the store to get the item and fulfill the order myself.
When I tried to have Lowe's complete my order by bringing the item to the Customer Service desk, they confirmed that the initial Lowe's corporate employee who took the order down never actually completed the order so they had to cancel it. However, they cancelled the order before confirming the payment methods and stated the $100 went back on the Visa gift card, which I had gotten rid of as the balance was used in full, a Lowe's employee told me the order went through, and I received email confirmation that the order was placed successfully. Because I still needed the item the order was originally placed for, I bought the item with the full costs going to me as I was unable to use the gift card balance that Lowe's originally took from me.
I spent hours on the phone with various Lowe's representatives trying to get the $100 reimbursed to me either through store credit or a Lowe's gift card. I have now been told that I must get in touch with Visa to try and have another card issued to me with the $100 since Lowe's issued the money back onto a Visa gift card. This issue was caused solely by Lowe's, starting with the customer service rep failing to complete my order and telling me the payments went through and the order was placed successfully. Additionally, the store failed to confirm how the order was paid for and should have confirmed where the refund should go for the $100 gift card that was used. Now because of these mistakes made by Lowe's, the store has taken $100 from me as well as providing extremely poor customer service from start to finish.

Bought some stuff online at Lowe’s: it was supposed to show up in 1-4 days. After a week I called only to find out that they didn’t offer refunds until it had been delayed for >10 days! They kept saying that the timeframe promised in their site is only an estimate (by that rationale they can say it will take a few days, but if it takes months, well, it was only an estimate). I have never encountered a worse company to buy something from online.

We've recently shopped at Lowe's for flooring. Small 2"by3" samples are provided. I asked if I could take home the large sample to get a decent idea of how the flooring would look in my house. The sales person said, "Oh no, because it might be gone when someone else wants to see it." True, but flooring stores do this all the time. I am not willing to make a decision for flooring for six rooms in my house with such a small sample to take home. I would have bought a carton of flooring to take home, but it has to be ordered.
Then I looked at ceramic tile. There were no samples at all for it. It also had to be ordered. So, in order to see what it would look like in my house, I had to order a box of the tile. I will have to pay a restocking fee if it doesn't work. There is certainly not much effort made made by Lowe's to make sure customers get a flooring they will be happy with. One may as well order online.

There's a long backstory here: But the short of it is my family had to make the difficult decision to sell our "forever" home, a home we all loved, and move in with my widowed mother. We took the equity we had in that house and "fixed up" my mama's house, at least as far as the money would go. One thing I knew I wanted to do was give my mama a new kitchen. The choice was clear as to where I would get my appliances. Lowe's is the only choice we have in our small community. (I know we could have ordered from some online site, but we wanted a closer relationship with our supplier.) So to Lowes we go. I sat with a Lowes "cabinet specialist" and we mapped out the area and made a plan for the cabinets. I ordered all our appliances on the same day. Cut to the chase...NEARLY EVERYTHING WE GOT FROM LOWES HAS BEEN TERRIBLE!!!
At first I made attempts to communicate my frustrations, but finally was told that the "Cabinet Man" was no longer in their employ and that he didn't know what he was doing anyway! (Thanks for that!) Sadly, now I just make a mental note of all the things that are defective. I'll try to include pictures, but I am not too savvy on the computer. Let me list them for you:
1. Immediately we noticed that the cabinets directly over the stove were turning yellow. The Lowes microwave has a vent that comes on automatically when we are cooking if there is any steam released. It is really loud, but we have accepted that. The "Cabinet Specialist" assured me the layout we chose would work. I did not know my off-white cabinets would be yellow within a very short time. Yes, it is grease build-up. No, I cannot get it clean. Please believe me, I have tried everything. I have scoured the internet for suggestions and have done them all. If I scrub any more it looks to me that I will damage them. The way I see it now, there is no fix for this. SO VERY SAD.
2. The cabinet under the sink (yep, that came from Lowes too) is in terrible shape. I thought I was getting wood cabinets. But if you look at that cabinet, the way it is warping under the sink, it looks to be something CHEAP.
3. The handle to the microwave just came off in my mother's hand one day as she opened the unit. I tried to superglue it back and it worked for a week or two. Now we just grab in from underneath. Not easy for my mother to do. Just another mental note of a defective part. Sad.
4. The top silver decorative "cap" of the dishwasher popped off. Tried the superglue trick again. Same outcome. Another mental note, still sad. Speaking of the dishwasher, it started leaking 2 weeks ago. Back to internet. Lowes.com for manual. Followed all the suggestions. Cleaned the filter. Now it works...but only on one setting...the other 2 still leak. Oh well, expected that. Mental note. Still so sad.
I really wish these things had not happened. I don't have the energy to go through all that needs to be corrected in this kitchen. I just think everyone should know that LOWES cabinets and appliances should not be your first choice if you can help it. Take my word for it. Sincerely, SAD LOWES CUSTOMER????

This is going to be a bit long, so sit back and enjoy the ride. We've been buying our appliances from Lowe's for years, with no issues whatsoever. This incident more than negated the positive experiences. The episode involved some of the most inept and incompetent individuals in the history of retail sales. We selected our new refrigerator and arranged for a Saturday delivery. The confirming call came as always, and all was on schedule. Our neighbors' children wanted our old fridge, so we put all our food in coolers and said goodbye to the old reliable box. But Saturday came and went, with no delivery or call.
We went to the store first thing Sunday and spoke with the manager on duty. He remarked that deliveries are handled by a contractor, and that Lowes had no control over its operations. Huh?? I didn't buy the refrigerator from them; I bought it from Lowes, and the responsibility lies with the merchant. He called the delivery people, and was informed that the item had been returned to the warehouse ... no reason given. Further back-and-forth between the three of us resulted in a promise to deliver the fridge Monday morning. Just to be on the safe side, I picked up some dry ice (for $52!) on the way home.
Monday morning passed with no word from anyone. I called, and was advised that the delivery system had crashed, and that trucks were just then being loaded. The ETA was 4:30. By this time, there was no hope in saving any of the food, so out it went. With no word by 6:00 p.m., I again called, and was told that trucks are running late, but that we'd be receiving the delivery that evening. At about 7:45, the driver called to inform me that he'd be there in about a half-hour. Finally! But wait ... there's more!
Nobody showed, even after the phone call. It is now Tuesday, and we doubled our efforts ... I went to the store and my wife called Corporate. I wanted to speak with the general manager, but there's apparently a layer of assistants who insulate her from customer contact. The result of all this was, (1) the refrigerator will "200%" be at our door the next day, and, (2) we will be compensated for our lost food and days of inconvenience. Terrific!! So we're now at Wednesday.
The automatic call came, with delivery scheduled for 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. About 6:00, we called to obtain a more precise ETA, and were informed that the contractor was advised by Lowes that the item was out of stock, and that we wouldn't be receiving anything. Pause for Thanksgiving break (thankfully). Friday morning, it was back to the store, again attempting to speak with upper management, but the same assistant we first dealt with came by. He knew our situation well, and communicated it upstairs, like the old Telephone Game. Bottom line: Lowes made good, with a combination of store credit (presumably to be used on our new fridge) and a discount on any unit we buy. The nightmare ends ... not quite.
We picked out our new refrigerator after looking and comparing models, and went to place the order, only to discover that it won't be available until January. At this point, we'd had it. We can use the credit, since we'll be doing some work at home ... no loss there. The discount turned out to be moot, as we'll be getting our new unit from Costco, where it's priced $200 below Lowes. I later had a conversation with an individual who knows the system. He remarked, "I know I should look surprised, but ...." I've since cancelled all orders on my Lowes card, and once the balance shows zero, it will go the way of our spoiled food.

This is only the second consumer complaint I can recall publishing in 20 years. I prefer to forgive and forget and acknowledge that most problems are correctable. In this case, I must recommend that no one ever use Lowe’s online purchasing service ever again. On 11/9 I ordered a chainsaw through Lowe’s online. I needed it for some downed trees in my yard and I paid for expedited shipping. The service guaranteed 1-5 day delivery. I waited, on the 6th day I called to ask when I could expect delivery. After waiting on hold for over 30 minutes with no music or chimes to let me even know I was still on hold, the completely ambivalent person came back on the line and said “Covid, we can give you 10% on your next purchase”.
OK, where do I begin? It did not solve my problem, they did not offer to rush my shipment, or even credit me the expedited shipping I paid for. I was offended, of course, and asked if she was kidding! I asked where my chainsaw was at, she said they forgot to ship it. It would be ANOTHER 1-5 days. Frustrated but flexible I said, fine. But I am going to call some people about this. So I waited. After ANOTHER 6 days, no delivery. I called again... guess what, the exact same thing happened. The lady on the phone was more polite but even she said all she could do was try to get it shipped in ANOTHER 1-5 days.
I demanded my money back and said I can run to the local hardware store and save us some time. That is when she said it would take 28 days to get my money back! So Lowe’s basically, never intended to ship my product, they took out an interest free loan for nearly $400 from me, and lost a customer (who is a licensed General Contractor, Electrician, and Plumber who flips houses) for life. Well Done.

They delivered a fridge but wasn’t told that they cannot connect perfectly good existing copper water pipe to it and must have a turnoff valve added in rear, although there is a valve under sink 10 ft away. Guys did not take old one away and said to call plumber. Would have cost over $600 to change out connection for ice maker. Called them again to come and just plug it in without an ice maker. Door had to be removed to kitchen for fridge to fit in. Second crew that came would not put in 4 screws needed for door to be reinstalled. Had them return to level fridge. Don’t expect anything but having them plug in an appliance. They will stand around and watch you try to replace the swinging kitchen door, holding an electric drill which they won’t give you or use.

In both cases the employees were helpful but overwhelmed with people seeking their help because finding an employee is very difficult. They make promises they can't keep and customers are irritated.

Spent thousands of dollars on flooring product because I was told it would arrive faster than the store I had purchased it from. It didn't arrive on time and I was told it would arrive "tomorrow". After several days in a row of being told it would arrive "tomorrow" and several days of installers putting off other work because my work was to start "tomorrow" I finally decided to contact Corporate. Corporate created an incident and told me to call back "tomorrow" so I did only to find out the incident was not submitted correctly and I should call back again "tomorrow".
Now that I've tortured myself to call back, I am told they will escalate this to a manager and to call back "tomorrow". I continued to contact the store directly, calling each hour of the day, but no answer from customer service. So I connected to the nursery only for her to tell me she doesn't know, can't transfer me and doesn't care, I should just call back tomorrow. At this point, I felt as though Lowe's has fraudulently removed thousands of dollars from my bank for a product they don't know when or if I will ever receive, and corporate can't help. Isn't this considered theft? The worst experience I've had with a remodel. Do not recommend.

Employees are unaccountable and play a blame game well. The 3rd party repair companies are also unprofessional and do not follow up. I would know - we have dealt with 3 companies. Lowe's has a minimum of repair visits required before they do a buy-back of the appliance and do everything possible to avoid it. I was told numerous times that they will contact me within 2 business days. No one did. I called back. They said the same thing, they will escalate and someone will contact me within 2 business days - to no avail. In a meantime they told me to rent a refrigerator. That is their answer.

We purchased online 4 Samsung appliances from Lowe's at the end of May 2020. Lowe's gave us a delivery date of 6/10/20. After not meeting that date and all the other new dates they provided along with not getting any information at the store, we finally spoke to someone who was willing to help. Between 6/10/20 to 9/5/20, we went to Lowe's every weekend. We went to 4 different Lowe's stores trying to get help. Finally, we were told that our order was held up because the range model was discontinued and needed to cancel the order and reorder.
After we ordering the appliances, the range, refrigerator and dishwasher were delivered all damaged. Now Lowe's is telling us that the range and refrigerator can be replaced but the dishwasher won't be available until early 2021. So they are offering a different model that does not match the other appliances. So now we stuck with replacing the range and refrigerator and returning the damaged dishwasher. Samsung and Sam's Club both have the dishwasher we want in stock but now it will cost us more, since we bought the appliances on sale from Lowe's. The moral is not to believe the Lowe's delivery date, don't let the delivery people leave until you check the items top to bottom, and understand that Lowe's doesn't care.

They stated that an email would be sent to the store, having them call me back.
The store called me back on 10/18 telling me that they would process the refund for the entire sale. They stated it would take 7-10 days for the credit. I finally received a credit on 10/20 for the purchased amount, less the extended warranty. I again online contacted customer service inquiring why my credit was less than the purchase price. I was told once more that the store would call me back in 24-48 hours. After receiving no call back, I called customer service once again and was transferred to the extended warranty department. They processed a credit which can take 10 days. This whole episode has shown me how poor Lowes customer service really is.

A horrible, horrible experience. We replaced our carpets and my husband and I carefully selected the carpet style and color we wanted from Lowe's at Northlake Mall in Charlotte, NC. After waiting about 3 weeks the installers came this Tuesday and when I came home after work I immediately realized it was not at all the carpets we chose when we were in the store. The wrong carpets were installed and when my husband went to our local Lowe's at the Northlake Mall where he was told the carpets we wanted were not available and will not be available for months. Lowes then decided to pick a carpet WITHOUT TELLING OR CONSULTING US and have it installed.
I'm angry, appalled, upset and so disappointed! The person we worked with at Lowes (I just know his name is Rudy), offered my husband a $500 discount which added to my anger! He then said we can pretend an accident happened (I have no idea what this meant) and when our choice of carpet becomes available they will come to install it. This is OUTRAGEOUS. We own a business and we will not even think of replacing what customers bought with something of our own choice! In what universe does this happen??? I am disgusted by Lowes and also the reaction of the person we worked with.
UPDATE: So LOWES decided that they are not going to do anything - I just talked to a manager who REFUSED to discuss the issue. Just after Lowes installed THE WRONG CARPET my husband went to the store and someone said they will give us a $500 refund. A person said the original carpet we CHOSE was out of stock and made in Canada so they installed what they had available.
Today a really SNOTTY and RUDE manager told me they are not moving forward and we are stuck. She actually said WE CHOSE this and they installed which is a bold faced lie. She also hanged up on me and refused to discuss the issue. I asked her what the case number or reference number was and she pretended not to understand or to give me the info. We paid for a carpet Lowes decided to install and NOT what we chose. I know they LIED that they installed what we wanted as I specifically told the associate I wanted a Berber and they installed a loose pile carpet. They also offered a compensation and told us the carpet we chose was not available.

Long story short: do not order for delivery. I placed a large order for lumber and other supplies on 9/28 and, initially, all items were set for delivery on 10/8. A little over six hours later, one item was rescheduled for 10/20. No biggie. Then, a full week later (on 10/5), three days before our scheduled delivery, the entire order was rescheduled to 10/20, delaying our project by nearly two weeks. But okay, we can make this work. Then on 10/6, my payment was declined, so I enter another card number. On 10/14, *that* payment was declined, so I entered a third card number. I watched the card account carefully and the hold from Lowe's never even showed up. On 10/16, Lowe's claimed that third payment method had declined as well and cancelled the entire order. They sent this news in an email to me at 6:23pm - Customer Service closes for the day at 6:30pm. So I called them the next day and explained the situation.
The Customer Service rep said that this is a known issue with how Lowe's processes their online orders (they don't charge until the day of delivery, so they keep renewing the card holds and many accounts will flag this as fraudulent activity...which doesn't TOTALLY jibe with the hold on the third card never even appearing, and being cancelled after only two days, but whatever). I ask him what my options are to **pay** for my order. He said the order had been cancelled, our delivery window (already 12 days later than initially promised) was gone and we'd have to reorder. To avoid payment issues, he advised placing the order in-person at Lowe's (which defeats the purpose of an online order just a bit, doesn't it??). Keep in mind this has been over two weeks of hassle just to GIVE. LOWE'S. MONEY. I said thank you, left the order as cancelled, went to our local lumber yard and had everything we needed at our house in two days. Lesson learned.

I went to Lowe's because they had contractor to do the installs. I knew that they used sub contractors to do the work. What I was not aware of is that they sub contract the labor to another corp. That sub- contracted it to the contractors who do the labor. They calculate the labor cost by doubling the cost of materials used. Example I had new patios doors install. The material cost around $950.00 so the final was around $1900.00. I did not know how the contractor were hired. I do now.
I hired Lowe's $ who hired another corp. $$ who hired the contractor $$$. I knew I was going through a middle man Lowe's (that I had to pay for). I was good with that. I did not know about another middle man (that Lowe's hired) that I would have to pay for. So I was charged $950.00 labor cost for two men to do 2 hours labor to install the patio doors. That's when I was informed about the second middle man that I was paying for. $500.00 for the two men for 2 hours work. That's better pay that my Doctors, my attorney. Hell it's better pay than anyone I have ever hired in my life. BUT WAIT it gets worse.

I called Lowe's on 9/15/20 to explain a situation I had with a washer & dryer set I ordered in December 2019. The dryer was defective, and I had been dealing with a warranty replacement for the dryer since June 2020. GE warranty department was replacing the dryer with a totally different dryer (the one I purchased from Lowe's in December 2019 had been discontinued; a grey dryer was available in September, white ones would be available later this year). Since the new dryer and my washer weren't going to match, GE offered a matching washer for $720. I wanted to see if Lowe's could provide a better discount on a matching washer.
On 9/15, Lowe's representative Melissa told me clearly that Lowe's could sell me the matching washer for $240.50. This was a number she said on her own, as I called just to see if it was possible. She said she just needed her supervisor to approve, which would not be a problem, and that I could order with her on the phone for full price and she would call me back the next day to adjust the price. I ordered the washer with her on the phone, and she told me to go ahead and place the order for the replacement dryer through GE. After ordering the washer with Melissa, I ordered the replacement dryer. Melissa called back on 9/18/20 and said she had her supervisor to approve the price adjustment and if I could hold on the line. After 20 minutes on hold, she hung up.
I called back on 9/19, asked to speak with Melissa, and was told that I couldn't. I called numerous times, and sent numerous emails, as I only placed the replacement dryer order through GE based on what Lowe's told me regarding the washer. Lowe's emailed me back saying that I never called on 9/15, shockingly enough -- then how did I order the washer on the phone if I never called? I called Lowe's again, spoke to supervisor Mike on the phone for an hour, who confirmed that all my phone calls were recorded and would be investigated. This was on 9/28.
On 10/5, Melissa's supervisor Matt called me to say yes, Melissa did say that she would adjust the price to $240.50, but that was a lie and Lowe's would not honor that price. After another hour on the phone, he said the best he could do was $760 (with tax) plus a $100 gift card. That was basically the same price that GE was offering me, and I would have NEVER ordered the washer for that price, I would have waited for a replacement dryer to be available through GE that was more similar to mine (GE said that the white dryer would be available later this year, the one available in September was in grey, which is why I wanted to find out if I could get the grey washer at a discounted price and not wait longer for a fully functioning dryer). However, at that point GE had already delivered the replacement dryer that previous week.
Lowe's flat out lied to me every step of the way, defrauded me into placing a purchase for $1200, ignored my calls and emails, told me I never called them, never called me or emailed me to say that the $240 price was a lie and would not be honored, and after hours on the phone, they finally admitted that the $240.50 price was promised but could not be honored. Just plain fraud. Unbelievable that a huge, reputable corporation did this.

I purchased a refrigerator four months ago. Upon purchasing the refrigerator along with a stove, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal I was made aware that the delivery of the items would be longer than usual due to COVID, six to eight weeks. I figured it will be fine being that I’m remodeling my kitchen and the time frame fits perfectly with my demo work. This was in July. Fast forward 8 weeks I get all my stuff except the refrigerator. I was told by a manager nevertheless that another store had it and it would be delivered the following week. This was after a sales associate informed me that the fridge would not be in till middle of October. Of course that’s when I asked to speak to a manager.
Well the next week came and went to fridge and the manager stated he never told me that he had ONE at another store.... Ok so now we are in October. I call to check on the status, I am informed that the fridge is there and would be delivered that Saturday. Saturday rolled around I call to get a ETA sales rep. States they had several call offs and do not have drivers to deliver (very professional) but, "Ok so when can it be delivered?" "Monday between 12-5." Ok.... Now I have to rearrange my schedule once again. Now it’s Monday 4pm soooo I call to get a ETA. This manager informs me that my fridge isn’t there!!!! And does not have a explanation as to why I was set up for delivery! And can’t give me a ETA on my fridge!!!!

So far this job is not going as envisioned. Product came after lengthy wait (no troubles there though) was delivered as promised...YEAH. Then the installation came or I should say never started! First day 4 guys show up and none look like they have ever done this. No tape measure, no tools and they started placing holes in the yard, more holes than I have posts I might add! Then after 90 minutes of digging they left. 25 holes in my backyard with no covers on it and an irate neighbor. They show up on Tuesday and start working. Come home to a fence that leans left and right - has panels that are 3 feet, 5 feet and almost 10 feet in length. Not one pole is level vertical...most are 3 inches off plumb in cement that is set. Call Lowe's distraught....This is not how a fence goes.
They had to use my husband's wheelbarrow (wheel fell off), his shovel and nothing cleaned. To be fair they asked and I said yes, but what else can I do! Husband takes the next day off work and they say they'll make it right. They have to dig everything out and start over and then after 4 hours they leave to get a tool and don't return! They leave a pile of stuff in my yard that looks like junk and again, on the phone with Lowe's. Working with our person I was told this is my house and my property and I have the right for them not to come back and get a new team....then crickets. The guys were all polite and nice, just inexperienced and no clue what they are doing! No tools, no level, nothing. Then Lowe's goes silent...for days!
Neighbors complaining, township called about open holes and "trash" in the yard and Lowe's....crickets. 3 days later I'm told that they have a crew ready to come so they are fulfilling their contract and it's the same crew I was told on Wednesday that I could say that I didn't want?!?! I asked where in the contract does it say incompetent crews allowed. My yard looks like a cemetery in the making and still nothing being taken care of! DO NOT USE LOWE'S for any installs!

Went to Lowe's in July of 2020 to set up a kitchen remodel. I was originally told that this process should take 2 weeks up to a month to complete. It has now been over 60 days and I still do not have a working kitchen. The coordinator barely did her job, which caused me to have intervene and do the coordinator's job. I've had to make all of the appointments, and do the follow up. Looks like Lowe's made a good chuck of money off of me for me to do their jobs. The contractors measured correctly but the store messed up the measurements. The replacement cabinets were suppose to be here in 10-15 days and now I am being told it will be longer. I do not have a working kitchen, and needless to say it cost a lot to feed a family of 7 on take out, and eating frozen food is horrible on your health. I will never use their services again. Paid way too much money to be left without a kitchen. I will never use their services again.

We bought a fridge from Lowe's in January and it was supposed to be delivered in February because our old one went up. We didn't have a fridge till we got a new one. We have 4 young children in our home so it's crucial to be able to feed them something other than fast food. Anyways the delivery date comes and goes, no fridge! The fridge didn't end up showing up till end of March/beginning of April. When it arrived the delivery workers said it would take 24-48 hours for the fridge to get to temperature. So I signed everything as there was no physical damage. 2 days later it was still sitting at 65 degrees on the coldest setting. I called lowes.com. They told me to call the store it was delivered from (Martinsburg WV). Blowing me off. I call the local store and the girl I talked to told me they won't replace it. I would have to call factory LG service for repairs. That was the beginning of a long, long process.
5 months later many repair appointments (Dave with factory services was super polite and told me it should be replaced but his boss would not allow it. He was the only good part of this ordeal) and parts replaced later as well as every manager (Jose **, Richard **, and Cody **) I talked to over the time promised they would see it was replaced and subsequently blew me off and never got back to me! During those 5 months I had no way to buy groceries for my kids till I went out and spent $500 on a used appliance because I couldn't afford another brand new fridge. I bought that fridge about 3 weeks ago. Back to the fridge I bought from lowes company, while the fridge sits around 40 degrees at its coldest setting under the fan in the back of the fridge, which is not good and I do not consider fixed, I am done trying to get them to fix it. This company obviously wont replace it and clearly can't fix it so I give up.
We have bought many items from lowes including a snowblower, lawnmower, weed eaters, washer and dryers, and microwave, and an oven, and were very loyal customers. We will not be anymore. I will take our business elsewhere since they do not stand by their products and it's been 6 months since I received a fridge that didn't work in the 1st place.

I bought a lawnmower that was junk along with a extended warranty. It took them 7 calls And 3 days later to see I did purchase the extended warranty. In the meantime my mower was broken for 3 days. They then called service for pickup and to inspect the mower another 4 days. I had to call the brand name of mower to get the inspection expedited. That was done in 2 days and sent to Lowe’s. When I called to see if the mower is defective or they are gonna fix it they told me it will be 5 business days for them to decide. So because a weekend falls in the middle of this it will sit at the shop for 7 days before having any work done.
This is the second time this mower broke and the pulley flew under deck and was found about 500 ft. away. The first time it was a spindle. Same thing came off and went under deck and got thrown about 500 ft. I’m lucky no one got hurt. That is extremely dangerous! I bought it in 4/19. It's a year and 4 1/2 months.

Horrible experience! I am doing home renovation and my primary materials source was Lowe’s, which converts to thousands of dollars spent there. Most recent experience put an end to it. I purchased sliding closet doors and paid for the delivery to my house (as I have no means for bringing it by myself) so, the door was defective, I called customer service and asked to bring me a replacement door (since I paid for the delivery in the first place). To my surprise I was refused the delivery, the only option they gave was to bring the doors myself and have it replaced in the store, which completely defeats the purpose of initial delivery. Their excuse was that it is probably manufacturer's defect so they are not in position to incur delivery expense, when I tried to explain that their position simply cost me delivery money for no proper goods received, they started repeating same phrase, that they are not able to do anything about it...

Two years ago I purchased an LG high end refrigerator. And per the salesman's recommendations I also purchased Lowe's extended warranty. The night before last the refrigerator died - no cooling or freezing. I called Lowe's repair service and they claimed they couldn't get here for a month and a half. When I pointed out that if they couldn't fix it in 7 days, they needed to give me a reimbursement. All of a sudden they found a repair date of 5 days down the road. Have you ever tried to live for almost a week out of an ice chest? I was bumped up to a "supervisor" who claimed she could do nothing for me. Moral of this story: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM LOWE'S!! DEFINITELY DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY!!
Had I not purchased the extended warranty I would have had a $300.00 deduction on the next refrigerator I have to buy. Had I not purchased the extended warranty I would have purchased a new refrigerator yesterday and I would be in great shape today. I even explained to them I was a transplant patient with no immune system and every time I go out to buy ice I am exposing myself to COVID which my body has no way of fighting.

Arrived at lunch hoping to pick up landscaping supplies within the hour and what a disappointment! Asked Amber in patio where I could find their usual stock of Scott's Lawn Soil and she proceeds to point to the side of the patio area replying "We have all kinds of soil over there". I explain I'm looking for specific brand/use soil and she rudely shoves her phone at me through the plexiglass asking me to type in what I'm looking for on her phone's Lowe's app. DURING A PANDEMIC WHERE WE ARE SEPARATED BY PLEXIGLASS AT THE CHECKOUT, SHE'S SHOVES HER PHONE AT ME!!?? I tell her I'm not going to touch her phone and asked that she page someone since she clearly has ZERO knowledge in her own work area. Shameless.
She pages someone not once, not twice but 3 times and no one shows up. I find the palette way up in the rafters and let Amber know but she just absently blinks at me like a deer in headlights on how to access the soil, still unable to raise anyone for assistance. I've never EVER had such poor service at what WAS once a generally decent Lowe's store so I decide someone should know about the experience. Not to give me any type of special treatment but to be aware of what's happening in their store to make improvements. Maybe even relocate Amber to lightbulbs or something less taxing for her to manage.
Next up, Tommy (MOD) shows up at Customer Service following my request to speak to the manager. What shows up before me is some random that looks like he just finished a pub-crawl.

I started to tell him what happened but his whole demeanor wreaked of "I have better things to do" so I wrapped it up with an expletive and told him I was taking my business across the street to the better home improvement store aka Home Depot and you know what, their patio staff knew EXACTLY what Lawn Soil was and within 10 minutes I was in and out with what I needed. They also mentioned they get people over there all the time with similar stories of that same Lowe's location.

I ordered and purchased materials and exterior installation services from Lowe's for a deck install on May 7, 2020. I have called numerous times to talk with someone about my deck installation. First I was told that all the materials for my deck were in stock only to find out that it was not in stock. I called numerous times to inquire about the materials and finally they informed me that the materials were in stock and they delivered them to my home and left them in my front yard when I specifically asked to place them close to my backyard.
As of this day, the materials are still sitting in my front yard and has been there for well over a month with cement and wood sitting in a pile and wood warping from the heat. No telling what has occurred with the cement and the vendor Lowes contracted out has yet to give me a date as to when the installation of my deck will occur. I have spent a significant amount of money for this deck which I wanted installed so that I could have a place for my elderly father to sit and relax. When I first asked whether the deck could be installed in a timely manner they said of course and it did not happen.
The contractor Lowes used has yet to give me a date of installed and I am truly disappointed and extremely dissatisfied with the whole process. It does not and should not take a professional company over 3 months to have a deck installed even in the best of times. I will not be purchasing any installation services of any kind ever from Lowes. They will take your money upfront but not deliver so my advice is not to use them at all.

Unless you are buying individual items and self cashing out I cannot recommend Lowe's. I made the mistake of purchasing cabinets from them because they had the finish I wanted, however, in the past I wrote them off before. I ordered $65,000.00 in cabinets. It sounded so alluring with the discounts, but it is all just a pure game. The designers are inadequate. They are responsible for too much and they are not versed in their layouts so there are extensive problems that arise when the installers come to put them in. This lends to a lot of extra cost to try to get your kitchen completed. I paid for a cabinet front on the refrigerator and ended up paying $450.00 because their installer would not put it on! I paid for glass door upper cabinets but the glass was not included! Key cabinets were not included in the design that when the cabinets are installed in real life, they are needed and an experienced cabinet designer would know.
I ordered the cabinets in November. They called me with the final price and when I went in to pay there was nobody who could take my check or knew about the order! I tried making it on my credit card and it would not go through. I made the payment with a check and it was not applied and the cabinets were not released for manufacturer. It is now August 8th and I still do not have all my cabinets installed and I will not have them for two more weeks.
If the selection or the pricing seem too good to be true, or if you think that maybe it won't happen to you, please reconsider. I may be waiting an entire year to have a finished kitchen and all I did was think, jeez, it cannot be that bad...IT IS! Diamond Cabinets are not worth the time and when you are finished with the cost you should have had custom cabinets installed.
It is truly a joke. I tried making complaints to their corporate on many occasions and they did not even get back to me. I had to throw a fit in their store to get my cabinets released. The stress was truly awful. They have ruined me for ever wanting to do another repair to my house. The CEO should be fired for establishing such a bad rapport with customers. I have $4,000.00 in coupons and I dread the use. I am going to order appliances but somehow I feel it would be better to throw them away. However, that means that Lowes will make $4,000.00 more and I cannot fathom that thought. I cannot even get away from them.

So when I got to my vehicle in the parking lot I cut the bag off to find a box that also been taped back together. The box looked like it got in a fight with a grizzly bear and the box lost. All the parts were just laying in the bottom of the box with some of the fasteners in a ziplock bag.
Now, I have no problem with getting items someone else has returned and have many times with no issues but as I checked the product out I found the key was stuck in the lock cylinder and there were broken pieces of plastic with the parts. I took the product back into the store to exchange for a new one. The lady at the customer service desk was very helpful. She took the return back and advised it was the only one they had in stock but sent someone to make sure there wasn't another one. There was not so she advised she would credit me back and I would have to place another order to get a replacement.
Keep in mind this is during the Covid19 pandemic so I'm about 45 minutes into this at this after standing in line 2 times at the pickup and return counter. I asked when I could expect the replacement so she checked with the vendor and advised they had 2 new ones already ordered in for the store and assured me I would get a new unopened product. I was satisfied with the answer and completely understand things like this happen so I placed the order online while still in the store and went on my way.
Fast forward 4 hours, I receive a email stating my product was ready to pickup. My wife was going to be in town that even so she went to pick it up this time. She arrived home with the box. The paperwork was taped across the top of the box and box was in good shape so I get ready to install the product. I took the paperwork off and right away notice the tape installed by the manufacturer was cut so I'm starting to get upset. I open the box find the packaging to look undisturbed so that was a good sign. I take out the inner box and open to check all the pieces.
I go through the parts to verify all good and find there is NO KEY. I looked everywhere in the packaging then I have my wife come and look to make sure I didn't just overlook the key taped to the side or something but nope, no key. So now I'm going to have to drive back to the store for the third time and return this product. I will not be placing another order with Lowe's. Looks like Homedepot or Menards will be getting my business.

I ordered 27 different items recently for delivery. All 27 different items were cancelled. Did I get an email? I sure did. It said that my local stores didn't have the items and they were being fulfilled by other stores in the vicinity. I thought "GREAT!" until the delivery date came and went. Then I checked my order status online and saw all were cancelled except for 3 of the items that say "delivery information unavailable". After waiting all this time and learning their inventory system and communication are this trash, I won't be ordering from or going to Lowe's again because I don't trust their business model. Lowe's executive team... you're losing customers. Get your house in order.

We ordered two sliding glass doors from Lowe's in June 2020 and had a delivery date of July 8, 2020. On the afternoon of July 6, we got the email that it would be delayed until July 21. We called to ask why and were given a discount on the order, but the next day we received an email informing us the delivery was pushed back until August 14. It honestly felt like a punishment for complaining. This morning (August 12) we got the email that the delivery has been pushed back until August 30. We are not sure the doors will get here in time for fall or even winter!
We are installing them ourselves and have to keep contacting our friends and family who planned on helping us to delay. We cancelled a camping trip for the delivery. Calling customer service is a 2 hour affair which discourages us from trying. We will not be ordering from Lowe's again. I wish we had just paid the extra $100 for the doors through Menards or Home Depot.

DON'T BUY KOBALT PRODUCTS AT LOWES. Just an FYI, I bought some yard tools and cordless tools made by Kobalt that "supposedly" came with a lifetime warranty. Two of my tools, their chargers and batteries quit working after less than a year. I took them back to Lowes expecting to get a free replacement (per Kobalt's warranty and customer service department) but was told by Lowes that they no longer accept Kobalt returns for full replacement and that I would need to contact Kobalt Customer Service. For three (3) months, I've called Kobalt's Customer Service and no one has ever picked up after being on hold for 20-30 minutes!!
Also, Kobalt is owned by Lowes so this entire situation is a joke. Lowes owns Kobalt but quit honoring the lifetime warranty and then Lowes directs you to call Kobalt customer service and no one ever picks up and there's no email address even to contact in some other manner. Beware everyone, Don't buy Kobalt products!! Quality is terrible!! Lowe's creates Kobalt then quits honoring the lifetime warranty and Kobalt customer service is essentially nonexistent and you can't get in touch with them.

I started the process of purchasing and ordering carpeting for a house that I am selling mid June. My woes started when it took days for someone to call me with regard to a person to come to my house to measure for the carpeting. The person came on June 24th. I was supposed to receive a call back later that week to give the price of the carpeting based on the measurements. I never received a call....this should have been an indicator and I should have gone to a local carpet store. I finally had to go to the store on July 2nd to get the quote. The price was sufficient and I paid for the carpeting.
It took over a week to receive a call to schedule the installation for Monday, July 27th. The installers were very nice, efficient and professional, no gripe at all with them. My complaints are with the Lowe's Installation Services. I specifically explained to the sales person that I wanted a runner down my steps and also showed and explained the same to the person who came to measure. When the installers arrived they had the carpet for the steps but it was unbound and I was told "Hollywood" style. I told the installer that this is not what I wanted. He stated that he would have to return the carpet to be bound and that I would receive a call either that day or the next to reschedule, away they went with the carpet for my steps that I paid for. I did not receive a call that day.
On Tuesday, July 28th I received an email stating that my installation was complete. I called the number on the email to report that my installation was NOT complete and explained the situation with the runner. The customer service rep. stated that I would receive a return call from the district manager of installation services after 2:00 pm on 7/28/2020. No call was received. I waited until Thursday, July 30th to call back. This time I spoke with a different rep. She stated that I needed to speak with the district manager of installation services. I further called the Lowe's Customer Service and spoke with a rep, he sent me back to Lowe's Installation Services and had me in a queue to receive a call back. I received a call from yet another rep. I explained my circumstance. She stated that she sent an email to the district manager again, and cc'ed the district manager for the stores. AGAIN no call from this person.
I called LIS again on Friday 7/31. I spoke with ANOTHER different rep. She was the only one who attempted to get to the bottom of my issue, she called the district manager's office, to be told that he was not in the office until Monday. She also found out that the carpet runner was being held up because of payment. While she had me on the phone, we called the store and spoke with the sales rep. I stated that I was not paying any more for the carpet that it was their mess up, not mine. This rep. went even further and tried to get one of the people under the district manager, one of which I had already talked to the day before, this person was supposed to call me back on 7/31, NO CALL. Monday, August 3rd....NO CALL from Kyle **. However I received a call from yet another rep. He was condescending and not at all pleasant to deal with.
I had had it at this point, frustrated and angry I was quite rude back to the rep. He stated that I would receive a call within 2 business days to schedule someone to come and "view my problem". NO CALL....Now it's Wednesday, August 5th....again, no call....I called LIS and spoke with a rep I had spoken to last Thursday again. She put me on hold and stated spoke with the district manager. I was told by this rep that the runner was picked up and that someone would call me TODAY to schedule the installation....NO CALL!! I had to reschedule other installations around this darn carpet runner.
It has put my project back at least 2 weeks. I am in the process of selling my house. If this debacle affects the sale I will be involving my attorney. This is very poor training, my situation was just pushed off from one person to the next. The district manager is a disgrace and should not hold the position of district manager. I will NEVER have anything installed by Lowe's. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Purchased a bathroom heated towel rack and promised it would arrive after 2 weeks on a Friday, it didn't with no notice. After being on the line to talk to someone, a pleasant fellow apologized and said it would be the following Friday. Okay, it's COVID no problem. Next Friday, no arrival and no call. Getting frustrated. Connect to a Lowe's chatline. The response, "Sorry but we are not responsible for delivery as it's another company." They check and it has been rescheduled for following Tuesday. They give me a tracking number for UPS.
I state that I find Lowe's completely responsible for getting the product to me as I purchased it from them. Guess not. UPS calls me Tuesday. It's not being delivered for the 3rd time - no apology. It will be tomorrow. I ask why UPS hasn't delivered this despite multiple promises. It's not their responsibility but rather Lowe's. No desire to explore the issue. So Lowe's and UPS are not responsible for the delivery of the package I purchased online. This is the latest in business and customer service? This cost me frustration, having to reschedule installation 3x, and about 2 hours on the phone and online.
Goodbye Lowe's and goodbye UPS! This is the first experience with Lowe's and after other experiences with UPS. UPS does not take responsibility for packages they deliver at all. It was explained that if their driver steals or destroys the package, it is my responsibility necessitating an additional insurance fee. I want a company that stands behind its products and services or I'm gone.
I'll be researching companies that actually feel a sense of responsibility when their customers purchase their products or services. The best I've seen so far - Amazon (too bad about poor reputation surrounding employment conditions) and Hudson's Bay. They believe they are responsible and act accordingly. Ps. Also, congratulations Lowe's/UPS. I am so frustrated and now after 50 years, you've won the award for being the first bad review I've ever written. Hopefully, other businesses are paying attention and seeing the market opportunity here for taking responsibility regardless of legislation.

I ordered a refrigerator online at Lowe's in Tuscaloosa. I was given a delivery date of Aug 4 between 8:00 AM & 8:00 PM in my order confirmation. I didn't get an email or phone call. When I called the store at 6:00 AM to get an eta, I was told to wait until 8:00 to speak to someone who knew what they were doing. After being connected (& disconnected) many times, I finally found out that my order was being shipped from Columbus, MS. After calling that store 4 times, I was finally connected to a manager. They will not be bringing my refrigerator today. It is 10:00 AM.
I took an unpaid day off today. I moved all of the contents of the old refrigerator & put them on ice. If I don't want them to spoil, I need to move them back & wait for another "maybe" shipping date. I will have to repeat this process on the new scheduled "maybe" delivery date. I cannot afford another unpaid day off. It took me 3 hours to find out where my order was. I guess I was expected to wait the entire 12 hr window to see what was going on. At Lowe's, NOBODY KNOWS!

Apparently no one keeps up with the inventory. When I called about the storage container I was told they were sold out so my order was canceled. I never received a cancellation order. Of course they blamed it on Covid 19 but computers can be programmed to reflect correct inventory. Believe me when I say this is the last online order I will place with Lowe's.

Every time, I end up regretting when I purchase anything with extended warranty from another few major companies who are Lowe's competitor and I tell myself that I will never do it again. Lowe's customer service is truly the best... they maybe not be perfect & I do get someone who is not willing to assist once a while... but overall, you cannot find a better customer service than Lowe's. Recently, my few years old fridge started having an issue in my OBX vacation home. Using the extended warranty, I called the 3rd party contractor provided by Lowe's. After a month or so, they missed the appointment saying that repairman was not feeling good (repairman called & told us he was on his way but never showed up)... We called the repair agency and was told that there is no more appointment for another 6 month (at Lowe's competitor, with a similar issue we were told that is nothing they can do & to keep contacting the manufacture).
We called Lowe's 800 customer service & opened a case and a week later a manager called and issued full credit and this was not the first time that Lowe's helped us.. There have been various occasions that Lowe's came thru and helped us. Compare this with Lowe's direct competitor and another location which gives you two weeks to return things and has the worst customer service ever.

First of all I would like to say that if something deserves a good review, I most definitely would give one. This entire experience, from estimate until finally finishing our install was horrible and added so much stress to an already stressful situation. There's way too much to go into details so I'll hit only the highlights. *$5,000 high on estimate because materials listed that shouldn't have been. *Said some of our materials didn't get delivered to store when it turns out they were there all along. *Had to track down the rest of the material ourselves (before we knew it was at the store) to stay on schedule for our install. *Had to pay for that material on top of the $7,000 we had already paid. * Had to wait 5 days to get reimbursed for that. *Wasn't informed of the problem until 4 days before install.
*FINALLY get the materials, project gets started after installers show up about 11. Second day worked a few hours, left came back to "finish" because they were now scheduled for another job. *We were supposed to have 3 days for our install, my husband used vacation time to be there. Worked helping clean up after installers, on hands and knees pulling staples, etc. On the third day, they didn't show up at all until I called and complained. Our job was only half done. They arrived at almost 4 in the evening. *Communication was horrible with Service Pro. I know I said I wouldn't list details but even all of this isn't a drop in the bucket to the rest of the problems we had with Lowe's and Service Pro. Our sales person at Lowe's was wonderful but That is the only positive experience we had.

Purchased a grill from Lowe’s to be assembled and delivered. They gave me a delivery date and I took a day off work. Late in the day I called and they said it would be delivered that day. It did not show. I called the next day and they set another delivery date. I took day number two off work. It did show up, but was damaged. The driver said that he would take it back and Lowe’s would upgrade the grill at no cost. They set up a delivery date and later that day I called and they assured me that it was on the truck and would be delivered. It did not show.
I called the next day and after the run around, they finally said that the grill was in the back, yet to be assembled. Ann at Lowe’s said that after the grill would be delivered that she would call me and compensate me for my troubles. They set another delivery date and I took a fourth day off work. They delivered it with slight damage (not an upgrade either) and said that they would compensate me. I waited a month and still no call. I lost four day’s wages due to their lies and incompetence. I have never filed a complaint or given negative reviews on any business. This was my absolute worst customer service experience ever. I can see taking one day off, but four is ridiculous. This company seems to think that lying to customers is acceptable business practices. This big box store should strive to do better than this.

I ordered a dishwasher that was rescheduled for delivery four times. That is not my complaint though - I understand COVID has made everything uncertain. Upon the 4th reschedule, I called customer service to let them know I would likely not be available on the date they rescheduled and to please call me when the item was actually in stock since I had already arranged three previous dates to be available from 8am-8pm.
I got no call - just an email (the day before) saying it would be delivered on the day I said I would not be available. I called twice on the morning of delivery and no one answered at delivery. I called again and spoke to the customer service rep who said he texted the delivery people to let them know I wouldn't be available until after 1pm. I even put a note on my front door saying "Please deliver after 1pm" (because I was in a Zoom meeting).
The delivery person banged on my front door at 9:30am and I had to mute my meeting and step away. I told the delivery person - who was not wearing a mask - that I couldn't deal with it right then and had tried my best to contact them for delivery later in the day. The delivery person was incredibly rude and said I was their last stop and they just needed to drop it on the front porch. I could not deal with it at the moment (as I had tried to let them know) - but the delivery person was not happy about having to reschedule so I said fine. I wanted them to leave it in the garage and not my front porch but could not deal with it at the time because I was on a meeting. The delivery person did not care, never asked me to sign anything and just left it on the porch.
Now I have to go buy a dolly in order to move the machine to the garage. I did everything I could to accommodate the four rescheduling changes, changed my plans the previous 3 times in order to be available from 8am to 8pm, contact Lowe's about the final delivery - and none of it mattered/helped. Plus the delivery person was just plain rude to me as if I was ruining his day by not allowing him to just dump the machine on my porch. Worst customer service experience ever.

It has been 2 months now, and I am still livid. I’ve had the worst customer experience of my lifetime with Lowe's. Want to hear a story? One morning my 29-year washer died. I went on an online search to find a replacement and settled on Lowe's for the availability, price and speed of delivery. I paid for the machine, parts, delivery and removal. The new machine arrived on time. I was grateful for that. Then everything went sideways. This was the start of the covid-19 “shutdown”. The drivers did not wear masks. The delivery man looked pissed that the old washer was still there and gruffly said that I did not pay for “removal”. I informed him I did, while he fumbled through his paperwork. He asked for a receipt. I had to go boot up my laptop and print out my receipt to prove to this man I paid. They took the old washer out. One man, without a mask, was in the laundry room getting the space ready.
I did not want to go in there due to social distancing; I was confident he would clean up the dust bunnies I could not reach. Once they setup my new washer, he gave me the instruction package and had me sign on his phone. I did … and then washed my hands. I looked over the machine, the new pipes and hoses, that all looked good. They left. It was after they left that noticed a sock and dust bunnies pushed over behind the washer where I can’t reach. I was pissed. They couldn’t take the time to go a small step above and pick up a sock?? I thought about complaining, then decided not to. It was minor in the scheme of things. But I took note that Lowe's has lousy customer service.
I sat down and read my new user instructions. I gathered up my first load of laundry and started my washing machine for the first time. Exciting! I listen to the new sounds that a washing machine makes. I stood in front of it reading about detergent options when I turned and hear/felt a “Slosh”. A pool of water was surrounding me. I immediately turned the washer and water off. What?? I ran and grabbed towels to soak up the water. Even though I turned off the water, it kept on leaking. I looked behind and saw the water spraying from the hose attachment. I pulled the machine out (with my bad back) and saw the problem. They just slipped the hose attachment onto the washing machine … minus the tightening bracket! I saw it sitting in a bag on my dryer. I moved my washing machine more to get to the back of it when I heard a muffled “pop” as the hose slipped off and the water in the tank poured out and re-flooded my laundry room.
Furious beyond words, I call Lowe's. Due to covid-19, I was told to expect longer than normal wait times. I waited 52 minutes. Then I was transferred. Finally, a human took down my account of what has happened, put me on hold, took a report, put me on hold, told me the drivers are still in the area and will be by to repair. It seemed easy enough to put the bracket on the hose, then slip it onto the washer spigot, but my bad back limited me. I had to wait for them. I had a water mess to clean up.
They never showed up or called. I had my next door neighbor come over and help me. Together, we got it fixed. I called Lowe's back, but literally could not handle the hold. My washer is now working fine. I remained stunned that Lowe's never contacted me. I remained furious and thought about writing this review.I got a voice mail one morning out of the blue 10 days later! Lowe's had a team that was coming out to my house later that day. WHAT?? I called the number back and told them to NOT send anyone to my home. Wow. Just so disappointed. Lousy customer service top to bottom. Lowe's will never get my business again.

I went there that day and spoke with a guy named David who could not figure out how to order them. He then told me that it was because they did not pass specs in Florida and I should go to Georgia to order them. I asked where he got that info and he told me they presumed that. I left frustrated and upon arriving home, called Lowes home office, customer service. I spoke with Alyssa and she looked up the doors and found that the only state they could not be sold in was California. She took my info and said she would put in a formal complaint, and she would get back with me in 24 hours.
Later the next day I got a call from someone at the local lowes store that informed me they could not get the doors advertised on their website. Home Depot had the same doors on their website but without a price. I told my contractor to go there and try to order them. He called the next day with a higher price but said Home Depot could get them. Mind you, Home Depot is a mile from Lowes. Anyway that all occurred over a week ago.

Customer service is EVERYTHING! I find that my local Lowe’s has all the products I need, hours of operations are fabulous and the cost of products is on point with competitors. However (and here is the “sticky” part) the customer service, at least at my local store is sorely lacking. Often there are no carts in the store so you have to get one from the lot and the last time I was there the 1 (one) open checkout was a “self checkout” with a single frazzled worker checking the customers through. I am not exaggerating when I say the line was to the back of the store. Meanwhile you could see workers (managers?) standing behind the customer service booth area.
All the customers were complaining but almost all felt bad saying something to the poor woman doing her best to get us out. Kudos to her! I used to love walking around Lowe’s as it always brings back memories of shopping there with my son at a time he was helping me with a home improvement project. Just the smell of the timber would bring back the pleasant memory. Nowadays I only go if I absolutely must and there are no other options.

Have had a good experience buying from them. Deliveries were always on time, very good treatment of use explaining how item worked. They carry the brands we use and like. Returns are always done with respect of our needs.

Most products you can get for less at other stores but if none of those stores are in your town you shop at Lowe's. The customer service has been exceptional and personnel have gone out of their way to assist and that means a lot to help cover the price difference.

Delivery of refrigerator scheduled for 7/12/20 for my 87 yr old mother. Delivery staff did not speak English. They did not wear any facial coverings as mandated in the state of Ohio. I've been extremely careful with my elderly mother so as to not expose her to potential COVID and then the delivery staff come into her home without appropriate protection!! Not only did they not have facial coverings they also touched countertops, walls, and other common surfaces of kitchen which then required deep cleaning. They set a filthy tool bag on top of the kitchen counter!! The delivery was difficult due to limited width of entry ways and they got the job done, but I'm appalled at Lowe's lack of training of its associates during this pandemic. It is unacceptable and I will patronize other stores moving forward. I do not recommend Lowe's home delivery.

Lowe's is the first home supplies store that I go to for items needed. I always find what I need and at an affordable price. Price and quality are considered and easy to compare in-store. Selections are awesome and stylish! I remodeled rental property and Lowe's provided all of my needs from cabinet hardware to paint and flooring, Cleaning supplies, doors, toilets, and supplies are all there in one shop. I love all of their plants and lawn care supplies. Their return policy ensures customer service excellence! Customer support and assistance are always friendly and helpful every time. I love the Lowe's accommodating Home Improvement experience!
