    I purchased a Whirlpool washer from Lowe’s Canada. It was faulty and did not work from the minute it was installed. I contacted whirlpool who were extremely unhelpful and was advised to call Lowe’s which I did. The manager at the appliance desk was awesome and resolved my problem instantly and to my great satisfaction. I have always shopped Lowe’s and will definitely recommend them to anybody wishing to buy an appliance.

    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.

    I bought a six-pack puck underneath mount lighting package. I misplaced single remote that comes with kit. I called goodearthlighting "ECOLIGHT" company that provides lights and asked to purchase a single remote. They informed me they do not sell to public. I called Lowe's and spoke to customer service rep in the lighting department. He checked around and said all they had was remotes for the ceiling fans. So I informed the rep what happened on phone call about not selling to public. He said he did not know what to do or say but they don't sell the remote and that's just too bad... Really. I said I bought $32.00 worth of lighting and cannot get a replacement remote. I'll trash you junk lighting and here is where to go if you want customer service and remotes if you need one. brilliantevolution

    I am writing this review because I am livid about how Lowe's is treating/ scamming my father. He is 76 years old and a proud veteran and shopped Lowe's because he thought they supported veterans. He bought and fully paid for siding and its installation in June. He had to constantly call and ask where they were. It was told to him it would be installed in July. They finally showed up 7 am one Wednesday morning. Did not knock just started ripping off existing siding. Scared my mom to death. Now one month later. My father's siding is dumped in his driveway. He has to park down the street. They worked one half day. Never came back. Left their mess and new siding Dumped In The Driveway!! It is shameful. They suck. I will warn everyone I can about this! Do not do business with them.

    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.

    More and more I'm finding parts I need in quantities that are less than what I came for. No, not looking for thousands of parts, just a few items. Today I went in for Beam Clamps in electrical. Needed four, found three. Asked if there were more and was told "we only have one". Well, I found three. One short. Went to hardware to get some 5/16" 18 x 3 1/2". Had to search many bins because most had only 1 or 2 bolts that size. Finally found some stainless steel (didn't want SS). But couldn't find any nuts, flat washers or split ring lock washers. Had to get odd parts, none of which were the same material.

    This has become a worsening problem with the Clinton UT store. Many times I go in to find something and come away short handed or empty handed. They have plenty of blue buckets but no lids. Why do customers buy lids and not buckets? Was told that's the way the supplier sends them. Really? They need a better supplier. Who orders a thousand buckets and 25 lids? It's gotten ridiculous. And this is just today. There have been other days I walked away short handed and frustrated. I'm finally annoyed enough to say something about it. I USED to shop the orange store but their customer service stunk to high heaven. Lowe's did me right and made me a life long customer. Now they're undoing all the good they've done in the past. What a shame! To complete my project I have to go to another store - or to that orange store. I'd rather not shop orange, but if I have no choice - - - .

    I placed an order for an item with Lowe's on 10/28/20 in which a Lowe's corporate customer service employee "completed" the order for me. 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.

I telephoned Lowes and was told someone would get a hold of me in 48 hours to schedule service. 48 hours passed and no call. Again, called Lowes and was told someone would be calling me within 2 days. I was told the repair company is very busy. Another week passed and never heard from anyone pertaining to my issue. Meanwhile, the garage door still has an issue. Poor follow-up and poor customer service. A lesson learned when using Lowe's contractual services.

    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. Very frustrating experience and will NEVER order from them again.

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. I do not blame the employees. Corporate and store management are terrible. The closest Home Depot is 24 miles away or I would be long gone from Lowes.

    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.

    I received subpar customer service. Employees with sales ID ** and ID ** has been unwilling and unable to help me. We have been without a refrigerator for over 2 weeks (this time around) and have an extended warranty. The refrigerator has been malfunctioning since we bought it. 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. Zero customer service.

    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. We will not be shopping at Lowe's.

    I purchased a refrigerator online from Lowes.com on 8/25/2020, which was delivered on 8/28/2020. Neither the refrigerator or freezer worked, never cooling at all. I contacted online customer service the next day to arrange having a replacement delivered. A replacement refrigerator was delivered on 9/1/20. I was unable to level the refrigerator due to the right-side leveling wheel being broken. I contacted Whirlpool customer service and arranged to have the refrigerator repaired. A technician was due to come out to my house on 9/4, but the repair company opted to order a part before the technician would be able to come out.

    Once the part was received, a technician came out to my house on 9/10. While examining the refrigerator he noticed that a part had fallen out of the parts bag, needing the part to be reordered. Once the part was received AGAIN, a technician visited my home for a second time on 9/24. This technician stated that the refrigerator was un-repairable and appeared to have been dropped at some point.

    I contacted Lowes online customer service requesting a different model. They had the store call me back, when I was told I needed to come in and purchase a new refrigerator. They advised that I would be credited for the old model once it was returned to the store. I visited the Norwalk, CT store and purchased a new refrigerator on 9/27. The new model was delivered on 9/1.

    Upon delivery the driver noticed that there was a dent and scratch to the front of the refrigerator. I refused delivery and they returned to the store stating I would get a call back that evening. Getting no return call, I contacted the store the next day to arrange another refrigerator to be delivered. This replacement was delivered on 10/3. The driver notified me that there was a dent in the side of the refrigerator. I had enough at this point and accepted the refrigerator, noting on the delivery ticket the damage to the refrigerator. I attempted to contact the store on three occasions that to try and get some credit for the damage to the refrigerator without being able to speak to a live person. I was placed on hold each time, only to wait on hold for 20-30 minutes without anyone coming back on the line.

    On 10/3 I again attempted to contact the store, unable to reach a live person no matter what option I chose. I then contacted the online customer service to find out when I would be receiving the credit for the refrigerator that was returned to the store. I was advised that the credit would take 7-14 days. Having not received any credit, I contacted online customer service once again on 10/17 to find out the status of my credit. 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 customer should not have to call this many times to get a solution to a problem. I would never recommend shopping at Lowes as the customer service is horrible.

    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.

    The middle man that I knew nothing about. That guy/corp. Was paid around $450.00. What makes so bad is that I ask the sales person AT Lowe's how the labor cost was so $HIGH$. They would tell me. Lowe's my name is Lee **. I will never again do any installs through you. I had a roof put on through you. You try to cheat me. I had a fence put up through you. Which is now just over a year later is pulling apart. I informed you Sub-sub-contractor at install that he was spacing the broads to far apart and this would happen. He didn't listen. Now I had the patio doors Install through you Lowe's. Three times I moved past bad faith work. Three times I was mislead. Almost cheated the first time and cheated the other two times..

    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.

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!!!!

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.

    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.

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.

    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...

    I purchased a one year Lowe's purchase plan on the LG refrigerator purchased 6/2020. The gasket on the freezer is bad...I spoke with LG on 9/1/20 & they were supposed to contact me to schedule a time to repair the refrigerator...I did not hear back from them so 9/16/20 I called LG representatives again having to wait 15 to 30 minutes at each step of their process after being placed on hold. LG said they're running behind due to covid & would again touch base with their service dept. to see about scheduling the service...meanwhile the leak is getting worse & refrigerator is running constantly. I informed the representative. I will NEVER purchase another warranty service plan again. It's so sad consumers are treated in such a manner.

    I made the mistake of ordering something online to pick up at my local San Diego Lowes. When I got the e-mail to come pick it up, it said I could even use curbside pickup. Trouble is, they don't answer the phone for curbside pickup. Others who were there trying it experienced the same thing. After going inside, they couldn't find my order. After 45 minutes I gave up and went home. I tried to call the store when I got home, but every time I got to the option of talking to a live person, it instead kicks me back to the main menu.The 800 number was no better.

    I did some home renovations a couple of years ago. Since, I bought lot of stuff, I always made sure they put my information in MyLowes account. My refrigerator broke a couple of days ago and I couldn't find my receipt, so I called Lowe's. Amazingly, they don't have none of my info in their system. They have just screw driver or small items I bought in MyLowes. And nobody helping me. Rude and unhelpful customer service. They are asking for the exact days of purchase and they say they can locate the order by exact day of purchase! I am not sure which idiot programmed their software. When there is S/N and Product ID, why your system should locate the item with purchase date. I think they do it on purpose, so the customers could not locate their warranty. LOWE'S IS TERRIBLE.

    Original Review: Had a deck installed in June from Milan, TN store. Opened new card to pay over time. They supplied inferior wood that started cracking and twisting. One board curled and literally snapped the screws in half. Seems to be untreated wood. Have been trying for months to have them rectify with no results.

    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. They do not care about their customers. They are just too big to care. If everyone would stop shopping there they would have to listen, wouldn't they?

After 2 hours of use it broke the mower deck belt. Lowe’s doesn’t warranty the mowers more do they stock a belt for the mowers they sell. It would take a week to get a belt thru Lowe’s.

    After WEEKS of being told the installation would happen in a certain window and not being contacted and failure to show up with my gas range - I had to spend upwards of 10 hours on hold with customer service just to know where TF my very expensive item I had purchased even was - and I am not made of money. No one bothered to call me with updates, rather I always had to hunt down the answers. Finally, I managed to coordinate the delivery and installation on my own - note this is a $200 service. When the oven arrived it was severely dented. Afraid to send it back and probably wait another month for it to be seen again, I accepted it and spent another 6 hours on hold with customer service who I ended up agreeing to a measly $100 gift card for my troubles.

    Don't waste your precious time at the Lowe's on IH-35 near Connelly High School (Store #1725). ONE star for my visit to their store yesterday - and only because I can't post the review unless I choose at least one star. 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. No semblance whatsoever that he represented Lowe's much less in a managerial capacity. I felt like I was talking to the local frat boy. Lord.

    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. Amber and Tommy, thanks for the great reminder that better service, product knowledge, and staff are just across the street. Will no longer be wasting my time at your place.

    I recently contracted with professional painters to paint my mother's condo. The original paint to cover was standard builder beige. The painters recommended Sherwin Williams paint so I went to Lowe's since they carry Sherwin Williams too. I chose a flat paint, ivory color in the Showcase- 1 coat guarantee paint. My estimate from painter was based on the number of coats. The paint could not cover the builder beige in 1 coat but took 3 coats!

    I was home/working during the entire paint job so I can verify and took pictures between coats. Called the number on the can per the store manager, who called their paint rep. I had to send each can 4 emails of photos- each can of paint separately, the walls, the various coats and of course the receipts. The cans were 34.18 per gallon. I had to purchase 16 gallons. Their response is the painters did not apply it properly. They should have painted in the N motion and not cut in but roll it to ceiling first....really? They say they will only compensate me out of good will to the tune of $149.00 dollars! NEVER buy Showcase paint at Lowe's if you really want to just use one coat...It won't cover and their guarantees are worthless!

    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.

    I ordered the BE365 Cam Keypad Camelot Aged Bronze Single-Cylinder Deadbolt. Came to Clarksville, IN location to pick item up. When I received the item it was wrapped and taped up tightly in a plastic bag. Since I had never placed a online order with Lowe's before I figured maybe that was a standard procedure but as I waited to pay for some other items I had picked up in the store, I notice no one else received items wrapped and taped like the one I received. 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 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.

    The ice maker hose that I ordered with the fridge was supposed to be delivered by Aug2. It still hasn't arrived. The hose was ordered from Tuscaloosa & will not be on the truck that will (maybe) deliver my refrigerator later this week. I need that hose to use my new refrigerator. They told me that I could pick one up in store.

    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! I would not recommend buying anything from Lowe's.

    I ordered a storage container from the Charlottesville store. The storage container was suppose to be delivered on Saturday Aug 1, 2020.

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. Home Depot's inventory is very accurate and I have never had an issue getting anything with Home Depot.

    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.

    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.

Prior to heading to store, I called mfg. of said doors and they said Lowes does not normally stock them so I must go to commercial sales and they can order them. 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.

    I was looking for a nice toolbox. I usual deal with Sears or Home Depot but Sears went out of business. Somebody told me Lowes has Craftsman tools So I went to lowe's and yes they had what I was looking for. I asked the Sales rep at the tools department about the warranty. He told me, "Don't you worry about it. It's craftsman. Yes bring it in if ever breaks. We change it." I was very happy.

    I build up a conversation with the cashier about the toolbox and she even said, "Don't you worry about The toolbox you got is craftsman. You get a new one if ever breaks." I walk out of there a happy customer. I ask the sales person and the cashier. Both of them ensure me and provide confident of what I was getting. Less than a year later I went back because my toolbox is breaking. What a different story. It's not warranty on my toolbox. At the end I'm losing $30 but they lose my business and I will like to formally apologize to Home Depot because I'm coming back.

    I am a landlord and I operate a rental unit at Washington DC. On 6/23/2020 my tenant reported that the fridge in the unit is broken. On the same day, I ordered a fridge from Lowes. I was told at the time of the purchase that the fridge would be delivered on 6/29/2020. I was told that it should take 6 days. Ok, this would solve problems. I move forward with the order. The only reason I made this purchase through Lowe's is, they can deliver the fridge on 6/29/2020. Then within a short period of time, another email arrives and claims the fridge will arrive on 7/2/2020. My tenant is furious, screaming at me, rightfully complaining that all his food is rotting. He can't eat anything at home. Because of COVID-19, he can't eat outside. He is living in unacceptable conditions.

    Then surprise surprise, Lowes is at work. Another email arrives, the fridge is scheduled for delivery on 7/7/2020. A day before delivery I receive an email from Spirit, the extremely incompetent company, for final confirmation and I confirm the delivery. It is 7/7/2020. The supposed delivery day. Lowes is supposed to deliver the fridge. NOBODY AROUND! NO CALLS. NO ONE BOTHERS TO LET ME KNOW WHY THIS DELIVERY DID NOT GO THROUGH.

    MY TENANT CALLS AT THE END OF THE DAY AND SCREAMS AT ME, I AM DONE WITH YOU. I CANNOT BLAME HIM. HE IS THREATENING ME WITH A LAWSUIT NOW!!!! Naturally, I call Spirit, the delivery firm Lowes works. They first claim it was not in the truck on 7/7/202. Someone at Spirit assures me that it will be taken care of ASAP. Spirit tells me that they will send an email to Lowes. I call Lowes at Washington DC. The store in Washington DC does not even take any phones.

    The next day, all day no news. As if I never purchased a fridge. I paid for all services and after getting my money, Lowes decided to disappear. They decided to forget about it. They got the money, but they don't bother with delivering the fridge. So I need to fix Lowes' issues, since Lowes does not care. Here we go again. Lowes customer service calls. Nothing. They say call Spirit. So I call Spirit again. They now started to claim, "Someone called with your number and canceled the order." The story changed. No one uses my phone except me. And I did not cancel any order. This is a total lie.

    I call Lowes again, I ask to talk with a supervisor. I am being told that I should file a claim in a written format. Then it should take 24 hours for the "Big Lowes' help...". This is not a good option when the tenant is in full-blown anger. I did everything right but apparently I am working with the wrong firm, that does not even care. I call Spirit. Now they know my number and they are willingly do not open it. Just to prove their unwillingness to take calls from my number, I get a new Google Voice number, and then I call Spirit again. When they see a different number they take the call. Now they are saying, "You canceled it." No one canceled any orders. I am asking for a person who knows what he/she is doing. No one cares. They say it's not possible.

    On 7/9/2020 I call Spirit, ask to talk with their manager. They say, '"The manager is gonna call you." But no calls. Then I call Lowes. I want to file a complaint. The first phone number they gave me looks like this: 1 374 327 73782. Something is wrong, this is not a US phone number. I ask the customer service person to check the number and tell me a real number. I get 1 347 7382. And then I call that number to file a complaint, that number does not even work. Lowes has a very sad and bad style.

    In the duration of this terrible experience, I had to call both Lowe's and Spirit a total of 20-25 times. No one wants to help. No one deserves this especially when you are the landlord and obligated to solve your tenant's issues asap. This whole thing destroyed my relationship with my tenant. The fridge is still not delivered at the time I am writing this review.

    Ordered new appliances from Lowe's Home Improvement in North Carolina (fridge, stove, dishwasher). Only the fridge was in stock and the other items back ordered. Made arrangements for delivery of the fridge. On the delivery date we got an automated call advising the item would be delivered between 3:00 and 7:00 PM. When that time passed, I called the store and was advised by personnel the fridge was "on the truck", and it would be delivered no later than 8:30 PM. I inquired about them calling the driver. That's when I learned Lowe's no longer does deliver,y but uses a third party vendor called U.S.T, and store personnel claimed they have no way of contacting them except by emailing the "home office" in another state. The fridge never arrived that day.

    Called the store at 6:10 AM the next day and learn the fridge is back at the store. U.S.T. left the store personnel a note that they called us, but we didn't answer. THIS IS FALSE, WE WERE NEVER CALLED EXCEPT FOR THE AUTOMATED MESSAGE. Made new arrangements, this time U.S.T. left a message at my house that they would be there around 5:00 PM or later. I'm at work (30 minutes away) so I make arrangements to leave before 5. At 1:30 PM my teenager daughter calls and says delivery men are there. I have to talk with them on the phone and "walk them through" where I want it, don't mess up the hardwood floors, etc. The delivery guy says he can hook up the water line for for the ice maker. I have my daughter give him the water line from the old fridge. The delivery guy says, "maybe you should hook it up", I tell him fine, just slide the fridge into place.

    I get home later, to find the fridge in place, however the delivery guys TOOK MY COPPER WATER LINE WITH THEM WHEN THEY LEFT! So now I have to drive to Lowe's and get another line. When talking with the manager on duty I'm told again that the store has no way of contacting delivery drivers, or confirming in any way that deliveries are being made. This is absolutely incomprehensible to me, especially when someone orders very expensive items.

    I purchased LG dryer DLE7200VE at Lowe's on Royal Pine in Colorado Springs. From the beginning, it has been a lemon. The sensor doesn't work and dry times are prolonged. I purchased a 3 year extended waranty. The LG technician came out twice and changed the technology components without improvement. He check the flow and found it to be good. He then told me that that there was nothing else that could be done and that I should have the vent cleaned. I have had the vent cleaned 5 times in the 2 years I have had it (at $140 each time), primarily due to an erroneus sensor reading.

    The screen was blocked only the first time. I had the vent cleaned 3 1/2 months ago and received a d80 error message. I have been unable to get through to the waranty service to schedule service for over two weeks, enduring wait times of up to an hour. The appliance manager attempted to call on my behalf but the waranty department wouldn't allow him to make an appointment for me. How many days and weeks do I have to waste my time on hold trying to get service? I asked to trade in this "lemon" and was told that the machine was "too old." I'm afraid that I will end up buying a new dryer because it will be cheaper than cleaning the vent (which is on the roof) every time I get the error message.

    For all who read this review, do NOT purchase an LG product, do NOT purchase any appliance, do NOT purchase an extended warranty from Lowe's. In fact, do not purchase anything from Lowe's. Not only was the product poor, but the response of Lowe's to the requests for service and the quality of the service is totally unacceptable.

    The quarantine has changed how we shop. Lowe's has risen to the occasion by having drive-up pick-up of orders & online shopping orders. The store was always clean, but now when you go in, you smell the clean as staff are busily cleaning carts, keypads, handrails. All surfaces. Clearly marked 6ft distances for the cash stands, sneeze guards for the cashiers, hands free check out. A cashier scans the products from the cart then you offer payment, you really only need to touch what you place in the cart.

    We have no mandatory masking in Columbus Ohio, but they politely & kindly insist all customers wear them. There has been a concerted effort to keep customers and staff safe, while still allowing me to browse the multitude of products if I need to find some home repair or decor item that I am not sure of.

Your confirmation notices, however, did NOT give an estimated delivery date and when 28 June came and went, I went to your web site to find out what happened. There it showed my order as having been delivered. I then called your customer support line and, after being on hold for nearly an hour, I was told that the item had been shipped through a third party and that it would be delivered after 17 July. I then tried to cancel the order but was told that since it had already shipped, I would have to return it to Lowe's for a refund after it was delivered, something that will be difficult since this is a large item and I do not have a truck to transport it. This is totally unacceptable service in my point of view.

    First of all, your web site was misleading on the delivery date. Secondly, I was NOT given an estimated delivery date on the confirmation notice. Thirdly the wait time to talk to customer service was excessive.

I requested a supervisor on one call, because the employee was so rude, She said, "There isn't one." and hung up on me. Believe me, I am respectful and calm during every call/email. Lowe's Customer Care Email replies with a message saying email is unavailable. I have emailed Mr. Marshall ** and requested the delivery be cancelled and sent back to Lowe's. I will not pay this bill. BTW...the item showed In Stock when I ordered it. I have spent close to $20k in the last 18 months at Lowe's.... Not another penny! Promise!

    I ordered windows online at Lowe's. When it was time to go pick them up I pulled into curbside pick up # 2. It said to call a number to let them know you're here. I called and the guy asked me if he could put me on hold. 10 minutes later a woman picked up and said "thank you for calling Lowe's. May I help you". I told her I had been on hold for an online pick up and she said "what's your name?" I told her that I had ordered windows. She said, "We will be right out." I then proceeded to wait quite a while watching everyone else get their pick up orders. Then this kid comes running up to my car with this little Box. "Can I see your ID," he says. I said, "I ordered windows." He said, "Oh OK," looking confused. "I'll be right out." He then comes out with the windows and I got out of my car and I said to him "please tell the powers that be that I do not appreciate waiting 45 minutes for curbside pick up." I am very frustrated about lowe's right now.

    We had purchased carpet from Lowe's Home Improvement. It was installed per them. The carpet came with a lifetime warranty on the installation. A couple of years after it had been been installed the carpeting started to fray in the corners especially around the doors. Then the carpeting start to wrinkle. Now the carpet lifts up off the foam padding.

    I have been working on this issue for some time. When I went to the store I was told by a salesperson in carpeting that I would have to talk a manager. I went to the service desk and they told me the manager was on a lunch break. Ok with I'll come with me. I'll come and try again. I have tried many times, called many, many phones numbers in hopes of getting a hold of someone. I was so frustrated by all my wasted time for a while I just gave up trying to contact someone.

    Now my carpeting looks like a wrinkly old raisin. I once again reached out to Lowe's Home Improvement. To be placed on hold for quite sometime only to be told to call this number. Then call that number to be told to call another number and if that number isn't the right one call this other number. Frustrated once again I have just given up.

    So now that it's been a while I decided to try again. I called Lowes Home Improvement and talked with a salesperson and once again I was told to contact the store manager. Guess what? Once again the manager was unavailable. I once again called and spoke with someone from Lowe's Home Improvement this time I asked the person on the phone to please look up my account. She told me she was unable to locate my account. She then proceeded to tell me I would have to go to the people that installed it. Guess what. The same people that installed it are no longer in business. Frustrated once again I guess I'll try in another 5 years. I am extremely disappointed with Lowe's Home Improvement.

    Lowe's carpet installation experience was horrible. They arrived without a Shop Vac. They sweep the dust once old rug was removed. That just put it in the air to fall on the floor again. I had to vacuum up trash between the baseboard and carpet tacks. They carpeted over the dust. I am allergic to dust. The uninstalled rug looked to have been speared and torn by a forklift. This is the damage the installer did:

    Master bedroom - Wall, Baseboard, Teal cabinet, Headboard, Dresser finish damaged.

    Door dragging across new carpet on one side.

    Seams raised into tiny mountains.

    Stairs - The installers scratched up one stair that was just refinished and there are dents in the top stair in a row from something being hammered on it.

    Carpet damaged by forklift with large holes poked in it in places. They cut around it. Because of this a large piece of leftover carpet was not usable.

    Dust Everywhere. I cleaned for 2 1/2 days and housekeeper cleaned for 5 hours to get house clean. I am 76 years old & allergic to dust. The installers did not have a shop vacuum with them just an upright to do the carpet. I had to vacuum as much as possible as the room was filthy after carpet was torn up. It was very hot because they have to turn the AC off to get the carpet to install properly and I was unable to get up all the dust. They swept which is insufficient to remove dust as most of it goes into the air and falls back. The installers acted put out that I was delaying their job. I was able to get the trash between the seam strips and the wall. Apparently they were carpeting over the trash and did carpet over the dust.

    Landing - Pattern goofed up. Need same carpet without pattern ordered to replace. Entryway - Chipped and gouged paint and baseboard. Living Room - Ceiling gouged at the foot of the stairs. Left carpet cuttings in the driveway cracks I have written the CEO with no response and the person assigned to help us hasn't resolved any of our issues. I held the phone for over half an hour without getting through to her. Yuck awful installation. Awful customer service. All issues completely unresolved at close to a month after installation.

    I went to the Chattanooga TN Gunbarrel Rd. Lowes #0425 and purchased a $2500.00 Samsung Fridge on 5-26-2020 with a promised delivery date of June 9 2020. June 9th came and went with no phone call or notification. After spending 35 minutes calling the store and no one answering I finally got through to the appliance dept. and was told delivery was changed to June 16th 2020 that the fridge was backordered from Samsung. June 16th came and went again with no phone call or notification. I went to the store this time and was told the Fridge still has not arrived from Samsung.

    I took matters into my own hands and got the Samsung Vendor phone number 1-844-415-1151 and gave them my PO#. They told me the fridge was delivered to the Lowe's Appliance Distribution Center #3367 in Smyrna TN on June 11th 2020. I finally got a call from the appliance manager who told me he also called the ADC and yes the fridge is there and will be on the Monday June 22nd appliance truck to the store. Well guess what, it wasn't and after spending 62 minutes on the phone trying to get through to someone, my wife went to the store and was told the same song and dance about how delivery was changed to July 1st with no explanation.

    I'm not the shut up and wait type of guy so once again I took the matter into my own hands. I got the phone number for the Special Order Sales dept. of the Lowe's ADC #3367 (1-615-751-5870) gave the friendly lady my PO# and was told "Yes the fridge is here however store 0425 was a dropped store and this along with several other appliances has to be shipped to the Atlanta ADC before being shipped to the stores". She also had no ETA as to when this will take place. So, there you have it. My Samsung fridge has been sitting in Smyrna TN (1 1/2 hours away from me) since June 11 and is going to be shipped to Atlanta for God knows how long before it gets shipped to my store and finally delivered to me. THIS PLACE IS A FREAKIN CIRCUS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER APPLIANCE FROM LOWE'S AGAIN!

    I had received email and phone confirmation that a gas grill I had purchased was ready for pick up but was in fact cancelled without my knowledge. On June 14 I had received email and phone confirmation that a gas grill I had purchased was ready for pick-up. I was told to park at the the curb-side, call the number listed and that an employee would bring out my order. Called the curb-side number for 20 minutes but no one answered. After calling for 20 minutes I decided to go inside the store and get my order myself since no one would even pick up the phone for the curb-side pick up.

    While waiting in line, I called customer service to see if they would respond back. The entire time I was in line, I heard the phone ring but no one answered the phone. Five employees were just standing there, loafing on company time. Of the six people at the customer service area, only one was actually doing any work. When it was finally my turn, I told the customer representative that I received email and phone confirmation that my gas grill was assembled and ready for pick-up. I told the gentleman that I told that I had 7 day to pick up my order.

    He looked up my order number and said that it was cancelled. I asked him how my order could be cancelled if I received email and phone confirmation that my gas grill was ready for pick-up. He said that he would have a employee look for it. The guy didn't even care and just said that I have customers to help. The whole time I am waiting at customer service, I observe several more workers just standing there and gossiping about other people. I guess Lowe's pays it employees to loaf while on the job.

    Horrible and unprofessional customer service employee. I had a cart full of merchandise to purchase along with the gas grill that I was planning to take home that day. I got fed up waiting for their lazy employees to look for my grill, thinking to myself how in the world can they not find something as big as a gas grill. I waited for more than 45 minutes to pick up my grill but guess they were to busy gossiping and complaining to actually to work.

    I realised that the employees don't care about customer service seeing as how they were gossiping and complaining the whole time. I left my cart that was filled with my other merchandise and walked out angry and in disbelief. How incompetent must store management be when something as big as a gas grill cannot be found in the store and when only one customer service employee is actually working while the rest gossip and complain. No wonder Lowe's is losing business and is having to close stores.

    I had planned to make several online purchases for myself and other family members at the Lowe's website but when I saw that nobody cared to resolve my problem, I choose to never again purchase anything from Lowe's again. I called the store later that day and asked to speak to the store manager to give them one more chance to keep me as a customer. While speaking with the store manager, she hung up on me mid-sentence. Very rude and disrespectful. I gave Lowe's many opportunities to redeem themselves but to no avail. Too bad because they lost more than $5000 in sales because of their unprofessionalism.

    Since store management and it's employees do not care for their customer, I will take my business and money and go over to Home Depot. By the way, all my Home Depot online store pick up purchases were ready for pick up the following day and my Home Depot online home delivery purchases were shipped out in just two days. Lowes should learn from Home Depot about customer service and professionalism. Home Depot has definitely earned my business. I told about my dismal experience to other family members. They said that they also would not shop at any Lowes anymore. If Lowes customer service does not change for the better, it will definitely go bankrupt. Thanks to Lowes incompetence, I will never shop at Lowes again.

So I pushed back delivery for 10 days, because I was told I had no choice, just to have what I originally needed & was told couldn't be done. I can literally never get a person on the phone when I call the store. I'm on hold right now with the customer service line to give my feedback.

    Very disappointed in Lowe’s online. I ordered a patio set a few weeks ago. As of right now I have two of the four pieces. On Saturday my status for one of the pieces was ready for delivery with a June 15 delivery date. Last night when checking on the status to see if there was a time it read canceled. After further investigation I was told there were no more to purchase. How can you advertise you have an item and tell the customer it’s ready for delivery and cancel it, very poor customer service and to boot no one called to tell me. So either it was sold to someone else or Lowe’s does a poor job of keeping track of inventory. Either one is unacceptable. Now I need to go through the trouble of returning the other items and finding a patio set that is available this time of year since I already threw away my old one. I also find it very cowardly that there is not a review section offered on any of their social media pages. Very dissatisfied customer.

The total purchase came to $5,000. The sales associate told us that due to the items being on special for Memorial Day Lowe’s could not give the Military discount of 10%. The associate was able to discount $6.80 off the purchase price. Memorial Day is supposed to honor those that served our country. We were dismayed to say the least. We are senior citizens and downsizing from a house to a co-op. Later we went to a furniture store and purchased considerable merchandise all on Memorial Day special. The Military discount was honored full 10% and my husband was thanked for his service. Shame on you Lowe’s.

    The store manager at the Kendall Store in South Florida is the absolute worst to deal with and completely disregards anything. Expect her to bully you and talk over you to get you to shut up and leave. Not to mention - I wrote Lowe's corporate over a week ago and NOT A PEEP.

    I ordered 5 patio cushions, I received 4 cushions. I was told various stories on the 5 calls. 1-FedEx was looking for cushion. 2-Had to wait 7 days from when I reported cushion was not received before FedEx would admit cushion was lost. 3-Cushion is lost; will give credit (yes I was charged), order another cushion, email credit and call with confirmation. Nothing was done. 4-Customer service rep hung up on me. Keep in mind I was put on hold 30-45 minutes for calls 1-3 and an hour for call 4. I called on local store in Kyle, TX because I refuse to wait on hold. They told me I had to get my money from FedEx. When I asked to speak to a manager they magically were able to give me a credit.

    After receiving my credit receipt by email, I ordered the cushion from Home Depot. I ordered on 5-11, received 4 cushions on 5-19 and here on 5-30 I got my credit. Lowe's has 1 customer service number, no possibility for competent employee. The only place to make a complaint is to the same phone number and you will be put on hold. I know there is a pandemic but there is also 20% unemployment. I was planning to spend $10,000+ on 2 bathroom remodels with Lowes before I postponed because of the pandemic, now I will go elsewhere. I will never set foot in Lowes again.

    I ordered a ceiling fan online... The shopping cart told me it would be delivered to my local store for pick up in 3 days. AFTER I PAID, a message popped up that said the delivery would be delayed. I have called the 800 customer service number on several occasions to find the status of my order. Each time I am put on hold for a minimum of 45 minutes, only to be disconnected. I finally called the local store to see if they could give me an update. They gave me a delivery date for store pick up. Based on that, I hired an electrician to install the fan. When I called today to ask about curbside pickup, I was told the fan was sitting in a warehouse, and they could give me no update on its delivery. They referred me back to the 45 minute wait customer care number! I can't even cancel the order, since I have to do that through the 800 number. How can they possibly exist with this system?

    Lowe's Destin Fl appears to have abandoned the idea of customer service. Ordered a fridge weeks ago, finally got an email several days ago saying it would be delivered today. I just called to confirm. Two hours later, after multiple calls, left holding on 3 occasions (15 minutes each time) before giving up, I got on chat line and was told it was "on the truck and on its way". One hour later someone from store called to say not only was it not on the store, it was in some warehouse and would be shipped in 10 days!! I asked for the manager and of course that did zero good. He apparently left the store and handed me off to some underling who told me that Memorial Day, COVID 19 etc etc etc and she didn't have time to continue the conversation if I was going to argue (complain further)....NEVER AGAIN WILL I DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!!

    I ordered a brand new washer and dryer set for $1,500 online on May 15, and it was scheduled to be delivered between 8 AM and 8 PM (a whole 12 hour window) yesterday, May 23. Nobody ever arrived. I did not receive a phone call, email, nothing. I call customer service at 4:30, I sat on hold for an hour before actually speaking with someone, and the lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. She tried to reach someone at Lowe's for me since I couldn't, and they told her my order was supposed to have arrived between 12 and 3. After speaking with her for about 20 minutes, the call dropped (sometime around 6), and I never received a call back.

    I was told by an online customer service agent that they cannot call back if a call drops and I have to just call them back.... so what is the point of them asking my phone number in case a call drops?!?! Please tell me.... After that, I tried calling my Lowe's store, no answer. Tried calling customer service, they were now closed because it took so long. Tried calling the delivery service, XPO, they closed too.

    It is now the next day, May 24, it is 1:30 PM, and I still have not received my order. This afternoon I tried calling again and I sat on hold with customer service for 1 hour and 7 minutes before someone answered, and the agent said she couldn't hear me. So what did she do? She kept repeating for me to call the customer service number again, and then hung up. I will literally never order from Lowe's ever again. This goes beyond COVID-19 throwing us all for a loop. This is just plain incompetence and terrible customer service.

    I went in to cancel a storm door installation at the North Kansas City, Missouri due to my finding out there were structural issues with my town home. The lead person Rihanna told the new hire return guy to only pay me for the door and not the labor. I exclaimed, "What in the hell is wrong with you" to Rihanna. She, an obese woman, said that Lowes don't pay out for labor only doos. So I said, "Get me a manager over here."

    I asked him to come speak to me. He did and I laid my hand gently on his shoulder and Marshall, the "manager" yelled at me saying "get your hand off of me and if you touch me again I am going to knock you on your **". I am almost 75 years old, Have had open heart surgery, My large colon removed in December, Have severe PTSD from Vietnam experiences, had numerous surgeries on my right leg thanks to serving in Vietnam, I am heavily medicated for the PTSD and this "manager" is probably half my age. I am going to have to see the VA Physiology doctor and the VA Psychiatrist Due to my not being able to let go of this incident.

    I later found out he the "manager" is a former marine, and I am 100% a United State Army Soldier. I have a extreme dislike for marines and former marines due to a Vietnam experience due to them indicating an area was devoid of enemy activity when in reality the LZ was loaded with the enemy. To my astonishment, Nobody that I was able to talk to from Lowes including Lowes HQ really don't care about the safety of their customers or how customers are treated.

    I have been a local customer of Lowe's for longer than I can remember. After all these years, I tried to return an item today and was refused. They stated that the product was past its 90 day return window. I must say I was totally shocked, I have never been refused before. This was an unopened faucet that they are currently selling and they would not take it back and stated it was out of their hands as the computer would not even let them give a store credit. Yes it has been 5 months that I have been setting on this return, but that has not been the number one thing on my mind since January.

    Being a person over 65, and the government keeping everyone on edge, I didn’t think it would be an issue to make the return when things got back to normal. Well... I’m stuck with a faucet. My advice is with Lowes you had better stick by their letter of the law, or as they suggested, sell it on Marketplace and get something back...wow. I would suggest that you purchase from Home Depot as I had the same situation with them and they did the return no problem.

    I made an order for a birthday present (planting pot and a couple other items) online, where it clearly states that curbside pickup is available at all stores. After two weeks, I received the email stating my order was in at the Delta-Park store. I called ahead, and was told that they did not do curbside pickup. I explained that my order depended on that service, and was told they would take it out to my car. After arriving, I called for more than 20 minutes before I could speak to someone and was told again they will not do curbside pickup. The customer service person was rude, and even stated that they could not perform curbside pickup due to state pandemic restrictions! The bottom line is I wasted more than an hour and I have no present for my wife. The moral is: shop at Amazon, don't frequent a local store.

    I ordered 3 items for curbside pick up. Before putting in the order, I checked to be sure everything I was going to order was in stock. After waiting for 2 days, for the email telling me to pick up my order, I called the store to find out what the problem is. The store employee told me they were 300 - 400 orders behind, in curbside pick up and it takes days to get the order ready. He found that since they had not pulled my order yet, they sold what stock they had, to someone else and are currently out of stock. He said that the products I wanted would be coming, in a little over a week. He said it is best to come into the store and buy directly.

    So this review is to tell you, from my personal experience, that Lowe's Curb Side service is non-existent. It is used as a "Feel good" PR statement and to fool the public into thinking they are being competitive. I have had no problems with Curb Side orders at Home Depot. I have been buying from both these stores, as a contractor, since their buildings were built. Lowe's is always a let down it seems. That is why I only buy from them when I have to. Anymore, I don't have to. They are not reliable enough to be viable.

    Bought a Franke faucet last year when building a new kitchen and am very disappointed with the product and the company. I sent the company a picture of the faucet as the handle was discolored. Was told by their warranty department (Candice, supervisor, and Cynthia) that they could not do anything because it looked like a chemical was used to clean it. All we ever used to clean it was soap and water. How do they determine this from a picture. All I need was a handle and they insisted they would do nothing. Asked to speak to Don Gamble, President and was told I had to send email. I could not talk to anyone else. If they would not replace a handle what would they do if I had bought their sink or other product they made?

    I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM ZERO REVIEW AS THEY DESERVE... I filed a complaint I had in April with BBB for a standby Generator against Lowe's installation. They're angry and holding it against me just because I told them the truth and had them come take back their Generac Generator standby so now that I started to experience another problem after the installation they're now trying to be mean and unwilling to do what's right. I have a new problem with my Electricity a few outlets shut off and lights in my dining room plus t.v., living room, porch deck lights, front door entrance and inside lights off near front door and the kitchen outlets.

    I called Lowe's first when it first happened to let them know and they sent out their contractor to take a look. He denied it, said it has nothing to do with them, said I have a bad kitchen outlets so I called out a electrician to see if he could find out the problems and he checked all my outlets in the kitchen and saw there was a problem with the Transfer Switch box attached to my Breaker box in the Garage then 2 days later my dining room, living room, back deck, front door outlets and lights had shortages and was off. I hired another electrician. He took them off one by one and test them and it was good so he said is possibly the transfer switch Installation that Lowe's did, maybe they punctured a hole in the electrical wires with a nail and the only way to find out is cutting a hole in the wall in my garage which he did and he showed me a huge nail running through the wires which is what has been triggering the outlets to been off.

    I need for Lowe's to Reimburse me for their contractors' damaged and cost and expenses. I have receipts and photos if needed. When they first install the Generator on April 3rd I started having problems with my kitchen outlets and other outlets. Customer service contractor Ms. Faith ** she then said she will send someone back out to check it, then they sent someone out on April 13th to make sure there was no mistake on their side, the contractor Alex said I must have a damage outlet in my kitchen which I explained to him that's not true, all my outlets was working fine until the installation took place.

    So I then contacted a electrician and he came out and fix that portion of the kitchen outlet on April 28th and he said it was a Generator problem and still then other outlets in the dining area and porch and living room and front door plus outside lights was off and I called another Electrician to come back out to see what is causing all this electrical problems so he did came and saw what the problem was and fix it the other problems he showed me the nail going through the wires from the transfer switch they installed that causes the shortages in my electricity because they drill a nail thru the wires.

    I want to be refunded and compensated from Lowe's due to the unprofessional contractors they hired that damage my outlets and cause shortages in my house by them who came and damage my electrical outlets causing a lot of stress and couldn't enjoy my birthday experiencing this instead of enjoying it, paying out of pocket expenses that I didn't have and emotional damage I had to go through to fix this and they been in denial not wanting to do what is right nor following thoroughly the proper procedure of the installation not to cause this. I still has to get another contractor to sand and plaster the wall and paint it in the garage. They're the Biggest liar and the Worst Customer Support I've ever dealt with. They're All For your MONEY not your SATISFACTION!!! I lost $1,335. Money spent plus DAMAGE FOOD. AND MY GARAGE IS NOT THE SAME.

    I purchased a patio door on sale along with installation in September of 2018. The installer never called so I cancelled the installation, but kept the door (Lowe's kept the door until I found an installer). My mother passed away unexpectedly in december and I told the store that I need to hold installation for a few months and they were fine withholding my door. Went back to try installation with Lowe's again in october 2019 and had to not only pay for another installation measurement, but also my pay again for my patio door.

    I spoke to the manager who said they no longer have record of my door purchase from september 2018, but they still have my door??? The manager said to get my date of purchase or receipt from september 2018 and I did through capital one credit card. The store manager refused to refund and gave my their 1800 number to contact their district manager. The 1800 number was to general customer service. I explained my issue and their representative said their manager will contact me, but the store manager, Craig, should have handled my situation. Never received a call from Lowe's manager and I called both the store and customer service multiple time through the remainder of 2019 through now.

    I spoke to an attorney friend and now have to go through suing Lowe's through the long al magistrate once the pandemic is cleared. Never, ever trust the word of corporate or local store managers. They are both useless. It's awful a large corporation puts a this stress on a working healthcare professional dealing with the pandemic and loss of a loved one... just shows they only care about the sell!!! I actually think they planned to stick and resale my door. I had my proof of purchase of the door twice!! The manager flat out lied and is covering up something in regards to the original sale.

    Updated on 08/14/2020: I originally posted back in May & thought with the installation of the missing screen of the deck patio door I’d be done. Not so. The screen kept hanging up when within about 2” of closing. I thought was just a dirty track. I’ve discovered the screen was actually “Catching” on the stationary glass door and that trim is coming off. I’m betting——this wasn’t the actual screen for the door and they had just anything available installed.

    Updated on 5/30/2020: Continuing saga of May 15, 2020. Lowe’s said their department “thought they had in stock”, a door I was told HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED. They located 1 & would have picked up ASAP. They scheduled installation for a week later and on that date, oops, no screen. Was told it be received on following Wednesday (5/27). I’ve called 4 times to speak to a manager & yet to get a call back. Just got a message they be delivering/installing screen door on 6/4/30. Lowe’s had use of MY $ not only for product but for installation for 2.5 months. Needless to say I’ll NEVER use or recommend the store (the contracted installers did a Great Job). They lied every chance I got to speak to them and then refuse to communicate with me.

    Original Review: I have contract & paid in full March 16, 2020 before Lowe’s would order, 2 living room windows and 2 sliding patio doors-1 with internal blinds. I was fine w/ paying ahead. I was fine RESCHEDULING the installation due to pandemic. Lowe’s CALLED me 5/1 to schedule for install. They confirmed 2 days prior to install date. Morning of, I’ve spent 2 hours moving furniture/furnishings inside & out for installers. As installers were picking up my items, Lowe’s discovers 1 patio door isn’t there. They called me @ 7:42 am. Say this door NOT available but they check other stores in State. I’m yelling so they will transfer my call to a manager but drop. I call back & speak w/ manager. He too says not available but they looking for & if I want they refund. No, I don’t want refund of monies they’ve had 2 months. I requested call back for status. It’s day later & received no call. Left me on hold for 20 minutes before offering call back and now, no call back.

    So they don’t verify receiving special orders, they don’t respect customers and yet hold money not only for ordering but also collect at the same time, for paying installers. If I opt for refund, are they going to refund the interest rate they charge on their credit cards? FYI they still advertise the “unavailable” door on their website-just $125 higher than my contract states & I paid for. If unavailable, quit advertising.

    Finally after sticking it out, Lowe's sent another contractor who did an excellent job. He basically took down the whole fence and put it up correctly. The new contractor was amazed at the poor workmanship of the fence. It was all staples and was snaking badly. He showed me that it would not have lasted a year. After he was finished the fence was solid and even. The fence looks great. My advice is if the contractor does not show up beforehand to inspect the yard before starting work, misses appointments or wants to leave early, ask for a new contractor. Also, you should be able to get ahold of your contractor anytime. Look up online how to build a fence and if the materials the contractor is using is subpar, complain about it. After all you are paying for it to last for many years.

    Original Review: May 14, 2020

    My fence delivery of materials were on time and with no problems. The contractor missed 2 appointments to come out. I have had other contractors from Lowe's that were really good. When they came out again they stayed until 3pm and left. 2 days later they came and was working on the fence and I noticed boards leaning and 3-5 inch gaps under the fence. The contractor gave me a hard time and fixed the boards. After they left I noticed the corner was not attached. Then I noticed boards popping off. The contractor used 18 gauge brads instead of nails. These are like staples.

    I called Lowe's (you have to call local store or you will get a huge maze of phone menus) and told them to send out an inspector. To my surprise they don't inspect installations. They are sending the contractor back out. I know where this is going. They contractor will replace a few boards and I will have to nail all the boards on the fence myself. I could have saved a couple of thousand dollars and put the fence up myself.

Waited until 8 pm, took the entire day off work for this. Called in and the automated system continued to hang up on me. Called the store directly and was put on hold. After a long wait time finally got ahold of a manager who said he knew nothing about my order and would have to call me back. Then when he did call back he said it was never sent out for delivery and he did not know why. He said he would have to send an email to another manager to see if he knew what happened. I told him I cannot take another day off work for this and he said he was sorry but he has no control over this. So now they have my money, I lost a day of work, a pissed off wife who has no stove, and absolutely no resolve for the problem and a manager that said all he can do is send an email to another manager.
