Fraudulent charges applied to my account for “security fee” as they called it for monitoring timely payments (my account is on auto pay). Good thing there is a Home Depot and Menards nearby... Goodbye Lowe’s!

I have big load Christmas orders 8 days ago while they were in stock. Today they just sent me email none in stock, clearly they destroyed my christmas and I'll have christmas without decoration. Most of workers are treating you like they work for free. Even online store show 7 available. They said sold out instead of find them.

Purchased a Christmas tree online with a delivery date of 12/12/2019. Today is 12/16/19 and I still have not received the tree. When called to cancel. Was told could not since tree was out for delivery. According to FedEx tracking has been out for delivery for 3 days. Asked to speak with a supervisor. Was told she was not in yet--this was at 9:30 am. Asked for supervisor call back. I am still waiting for a call. Do not buy anything from them. Customer service is a joke.

Communication was a mess which caused delays in scheduling the install. After starting the project the installers walked out. Actually drove to Lowe’s to tell them what happened and the manager assured us that they would take care of things, never followed through. Had to cancel the project due to no confidence and are left with the old carpet that was cut up by the installers that walked out. They claim they didn’t do it! Extremely poor service overall. Buyer beware!!!

#1 Security door: The end of September 2019 we go in the store to get a security door put in for our back door. Go Into Lowe's. Pick out the door and their policy is to have someone come measure the door (even tho my husband did the measurements..whatever). Well they charge $40 for that, and tell you to wait for a call to schedule a time to come out, what's annoying is we were told the guy would come in a few days. Nope took about 2 weeks, then After getting measurements, we had to "schedule" to get it installed. That took probably two more weeks of a ** of Reschedules and no shows. Door take about 15 mins to be installed, the guy leaves and the door doesn't even ** correctly because he cut the plastic on the bottom wrong.
#2 refrigerator delivery: My mom ordered a fridge on sale Beginning of November for my anniversary/Christmas. Delivery date said "estimated 12/9". Super excited, finally getting an updated fridge! So a month later around December 3rd my mom calls after receiving an email "delivery expected December 7th 8am-4pm. Which is cool cause we have their anniversary dinner at 5pm. December 6th we get a text message for delivery 4:30pm-8:30pm. Which is annoying because it's my parents anniversary dinner. So I decide to call and see if they can give me a courtesy call so I can leave my parents to make it there for them. They say that’s fine and they will call! It’s 8:15pm and it’s frustrating because I would like to relax and have a drink or two. So I call and the girl says “oh, the store should have called, they don’t have your fridge in stock” and the expected delivery isn’t until December 14th.
So I’m PISSED but understand ** happens. So I brush it off. So we get a text to confirm delivery for December 14th at 5pm-8pm. So AGAIN I call and ask for a 30 minute call before because my husband has to be up at 3am and last thing I need is them coming late ringing the doorbell making my dogs bark, waking up the baby and my husband coming down pissed off. So here we are December 14th at 9:10 writing this post and not a courtesy call of fridge being delivered and I'm pissed. Lowe's should just get rid of their installation/delivery because they have no clue how to manage it!!!!

Went to store #358 in Summerville SC to purchase a patio bench as a donation to a local church. I wanted the bench assembled so I could deliver it directly to the church but I was told that Lowe’s does not provide employee in-store assemblies anymore because of a policy change. I asked where was this information posted for the customer to see and was told that it wasn’t. Apparently customer are only notified once they purchase a product that it can’t be assembled by a Lowe’s employee. But rather a ticket is entered into the system for a third party contractor to come in an assemble then the customer gets notified to come back and pick up their product. I think this is a major change that affects customers and they shouldn’t be informed at the cash register. The nearest Lowe’s is 30 minutes away and this presents as an inconvenience to someone who wants to take an assembled product home the same day.
I contacted the corporate office and was told that policy changes are proprietary and the customers didn’t need to be informed.????. I’m a veteran and I have taken several business classes and I don’t remember this in any of them. As a veteran, Lowe’s has become a very big disappointment and I can no longer give them my money (could it be considered my proprietary). I’m pretty sure Home Depot, Walmart, Cosco, etc will welcome my money, concerns and veteran support!

We are so angry and disappointed with Lowe's! We had a stove delivered 2 days after purchase. They brought it in and took our old stove. They did not plug it in. We had an electrician come out the next day to install it just to be safe. He got it set up and there was not any electricity coming from the stove. I immediately called customer service and the guy was nice. He said that they would have to have one local store deliver it to another for them to deliver it to us.... What?! That makes no sense... We would have a new one in 2 days. And the store would call us the next day. They never called, so I called at 6 pm and customer service said that it wouldn't be delivered for 7 full days after they took our old stove.... What?!
I called the store and asked the manager to call us. When he did he said it would be 2 days earlier. So now 5 days instead of 7... We will see if it actually comes. We are so disappointed with the complete lack of respect and care that we received from Lowe's. We will never step foot or shop online with Lowe's again! We have always liked Home Depot better anyway! We have never had a problem with them.

I have been trying to get my washer repaired for two weeks now and get the same responses from Lowe's whenever I call for an update. We are awaiting authorization. It takes 24 hours even though it's been over a week. Then they open up a "parts inquiry" which I may or may not hear from someone within 5 days. Well guess what? I never heard from anyone. When I called to see what's going on they told me they would open up another "parts inquiry". Totally useless people selling a totally useless plan. They will gladly take your $$$$$ for it. Just don't expect them to step up when you need it. If I could rate it 0 stars I would.

My husband and I purchased appliances around Black Friday and set up a delivery for tomorrow (Saturday). He has been trying for the past few days to get in contact with the department to confirm a time frame for the delivery. He was finally able to speak to someone in appliances today who said that the delivery people were gone for the day.
We then spoke to a lady in customer service and she said a third party deals with the deliveries. My husband asked for the contact info for that third party and the lady had to transfer him to a manager. The phone rang for a few minutes with no one picking up. He called multiple times and requested to speak to a manager. The phone rang and rang each time. Finally, customer service stopped answering as well. We now have no time frame to work off of and will have to be at our house all day Saturday waiting for someone to show up. At this point in time we wish we would have paid more to purchase our appliances at Home Depot.

We purchased a stove at the Lowe's in Easley SC. Delivery was set up for December 6. When we didn't get a call the day before my husband called the 800 number. The woman called the store supposedly. We were told that we are on the manifest for delivery on the 6th. We would get a call from them at 8 am. Well that call never came. This morning my husband called the store and was told that it was moved to the 19th. They had to order it. We were told in the store when we bought it they had them in stock. Anyway no one bothered to call us to let us know. We canceled the order and will not be doing business with Lowe's again. All the reviews I read online about Lowe's turned out to be true. They were all very bad.

I ordered 4 different light bulb items on Nov 24, 2019 online through Lowes.ca website. Out of 4 items, only 1 arrived correctly. One of the items was delivered wrong (not the one that I had actually ordered). Two more were cancelled a few days later because they were out of stock!!! Although there was plenty of them available at the time that I had ordered. I talked to Lowe's customer service line for more than 2 hours in about 3 days and they promised to fix this and push it through other stores, but nothing happened. I even talked to a manager and I received a confirmation email from the customer services department! (Nov 27, 2019).
This was my first experience with Lowes and would be the last one. Terrible online order management and even more awful customer service. They opened a case to follow up with my complaint (Dec 2, 2019) and told me that I would receive a call within 48 hours (in an email); that never happened. I missed all the deals and offers on the Black Friday event and they didn't compensate it. Definitely a terrible retailer.

We ordered a dishwasher online on Black Friday. Our order was accepted and was being processed. On the following Wednesday, we received an emailing stating that they had cancelled our order. We called Lowe's to find out what happened and were told that they had run out of stock and offered to "let us buy" the same dishwater at nearly double the price. They also offered to let us buy a much lesser model at our original price.
I told the representative that what they were doing was illegal (bait and switch). I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold for several minutes. Then I was told that no supervisor was available and it would be at least 24 hours before they could contact us. I was put on hold again and after several minutes a supervisor suddenly became available. We got the same "runaround." The result: no dishwasher. I after the call, I reviewed comments about Lowe's online and found several similar experiences. I will not recommend purchasing anything from Lowe's.

I placed an order online for an in store pick up. When I was notified that the order was ready, I called in to confirm that the order was there and ready to go. Which that on its own was a nightmare. Nobody answered the phone over there. I had to call 5 times before anyone answered the phone. When I finally got through to someone, they told me everything was there and waiting. However, when I arrived at the store, nobody could find my order. I stood in the front of the store for 50 minutes while the people were looking. And they clearly weren't looking very hard. Because after 50 minutes of looking, I walked around the corner to where all the other pick up orders were sitting, and it took me about 30 seconds to find mine.
As if this wasn't bad enough, believe it or not, it actually gets worse. There was an item missing. And they flat out refused to give a refund or find the missing item. I was forced to pay the full price of the full order (which was already charged to my card prior to all this) and go home without a $153 item! What am I supposed to now. Because the rest of the order is useless without that missing $153 item, but I certainly don't want to ever deal with their incompetence ever again.

Order confirmed when I purchased a new fridge for delivery on their Black Friday sale. Paid for haul away of old fridge, purchased extended purchase plan. Order confirmation said delivery 12/2/2019, being fulfilled by Gainesville store. Then next day email saying ready for pick up in Buford GA store. After more than 45 minutes on phone with Buford, supposed to have it all worked out, to be delivered on 12/3/2019. Today get another email saying ready for pickup at Suwanee store. Called Buford back. Manager did not seem to know anything, just said, "Your fridge is in Suwanee," and to go pick it up - go figure!
After several minutes on phone with her, she said, "Will be calling Suwanee store to get this corrected." I am holding my breath that tomorrow does not come with yet another email saying pick up at some other store! What a nightmare this is becoming. I am totally regretting that I passed up similar fridge at Home Depot now. Dont know if I will ever get my fridge delivered as it was supposed to be all along. And cannot seem to make any progress because Lowes keeps handing order off to another store, may be a year or longer if they have to assign to every store in the state. Run from these folks for online orders. If you cannot get it in store, go somewhere else!

This comment is for Victor ** at the Olympia Store, Kitchen Project Specialist. Victor was welcoming, knowledgeable, and courteous. He approached us as we were trying to make a review of appliances. Victor helped us in layman's terms find the best appliances for what we needed, not what I thought I needed. He understood our needs very quickly and found discounts for us that I wasn't aware of. I would go out of our way to work with Victor again. I generally go to your competitor but thought I would give the store a shot, and you've made me a convert. Victor is a real asset to the store.

Me and my Husband wanted a chain link fence installed for the safety of the little grandkids. We went to Home Depot, the prices were very steep, so we went with Lowes. This process started in June, we needed to pay up front so the product could be ordered, we did. Our scheduled installation was July 17 2019. The installers came without notification, my husband saw them on our security cameras, he went home for lunch and met them, they cut our Patio blocks to install the walkway fence, (I did not approve) the workers comment to my husband was the gate was too long (the fence was too small so they cut into my patio blocks instead of putting the post in the dirt). Also the 2 drive gates were too small for our vehicles to fit through.
I came home to continue to watch them and found the fence being put in front of our main drain line in the back, I questioned the worker (he was not fluent in English). I advised the fence post needed to be further back before he finished, he stated he did not want to touch the tree line, and refused to move them. I called the office, they stated they would call me back, I had to call 3 days and threaten to call corporate. I finally got a call back from Chelsea. She stated they would reach out to me the next week, that did not happen. I called again spoke with Michael, he would put me off every time for about 4 days.
Finally Bryan Lowes Salesman) came to look at the finished work, found that both gates were too small and noticed the drain on the outside of the fence. Bryan contacted the contractor and advised them of the corrections they needed to do, and ordered the drive gates, when I spoke with Michael again 3 weeks later he stated he only knew of 1 drive gate not 2, I corrected him. He investigated and released I was correct, and ordered the 2nd.
WE are now into October, and they want to correct the positing of the fence line and change the 2 drive gates, well the workers did not have cement to pour for the new post, (they had to go and buy some) now the post after 1 week are not sturdy and the fence moves (very wobbly) and the drive gate in our driveway is so uneven that upon opening it drags on the concrete. Of course I called and complained to Michael, he stated he would get them back out to correct again. They came back a week later. Poured more cement, but did nothing about the gate dragging. I am now livid. Very disappointed with LOWES.

Bought a storm door with installation. Was Told that the door would be installed within 10 business days of arrival. The installer kept rescheduling our installation appointment, not even calling to tell us they weren’t going to make it during the scheduled installation appointment, and gave us attitude when we complained. Called Lowe’s to request another installer be assigned because the 10 days had come and gone. They (the installation customer service dept.) said if they did that it would take even longer and that we should give this installation company one more chance and that we could receive compensation for the issues.
The installation was finally done but no compensation. Instead they are wasting our time sending us in circles from customer service to actual store and back to customer service. It’s been multiple phone calls and 3 weeks since this all happened and no resolution. This company is irresponsible and horrible. Will never shop there again.

Waited 4 hours for delivery today but of course a no show. Called store and let phone ring 50 minutes. Happened yesterday also when tried to confirm my delivery. Finally went over to store. Took 1 hour to find someone who could tell me what happened. No one let me know of the change to my order and scheduled delivery. They could care less about customer service. Lowe's, the unhelpful mega store. Just a big black hole when it comes to customer service.

I bought a Samsung fridge in 2017 with Lowe's warranty, with my military discount (which they do not give anymore when item is on sale) for over $2400. I have had service 4 times on the icemaker (5th time this week). When I called last week for my 5th service call & the warranty dept told me they were going to do a buyout, gave me a claim number & said I'd get $2200 returned once all settled.
Sunday, I went on their website, purchased a different brand with my Lowe's cc, lo and behold, they delivered it the very next day Monday. Later that day I got a call saying the person misspoke & I do not qualify for a buyout, because 2 of the service calls were through factory warranty & 2 were through extended. The 5th one in their eyes is only the 3rd one. So now I have 2 fridges in my home, they would rather come get the new one, bring my Samsung up from my basement, have it repaired again. Not to mention I'm a disabled vet & it took me 3 hours to empty my fridge onto my deck, also I have to do it all over again. Lowe's does not care one bit about veterans or anyone else! I have shredded my Lowe's cc & if you are smart, you'll do the same thing!!!

I bought LED Christmas lights from Lowe's last December. Lights were used less than six weeks. Went to reinstall this year and multiple strands were not working. Called the 1800 number and it was a Lowe's store exclusive product. They told me they would need 7 days to reach out to the manufacturer. I explained that Christmas is only 6 weeks away and I needed a faster resolution. They suggested I return to the store. Went to the store and they told me there was nothing they would do regardless of the fact it was their product. Called the 1800 number back again and got hung up on after I asked to speak to a supervisor. So many service failures. It's hard to focus on just one.

Shopping for countertops, we started at Home Depot...because it was the first store we came to. However, I’d had a great experience at our Minnesota Lowe’s store buying countertops so, when I needed them in our Arizona home, I went directly to my local Carefree, AZ store. I worked with Iris to come up with a plan and I selected a Silestone product. I was thrilled with my choice and that it fit into my tight budget. After all, Lowe’s quoted prices included installation (except for cutting a sink opening). Like in my Minnesota experience, this was deciding factor for me.
An outside installer was scheduled to do official measurements at our home. They came. They left. A week later Iris called to say there would be an additional installation charge of over $1000! I was crestfallen. I was also angry that installation would be that much more when installation was included! The explanation was that additional structure was required to bear the weight of the Silestone. I cancelled my order. Iris was the BEST to work with but, though she could explain the policies and be somewhat flexible with the Lowe’s prices, she couldn’t convince the installer to waive all his add-ons.
Next, I considered the composite granite. We found one that was similar to the Silestone and in an affordable bracket. Again, I paid and moved forward with the order. A new installation company was sent to our home. After all measurements were taken, again we were notified of a substantial upcharge! This time, we were told that the upcharge was to cover the expense of added structure under the countertops due to a garden window. Iris did all she could to fight for us but the installer would not absorb the additional charges.
Though I was angry and very disappointed, I was tired of the entire futile and frustrating experience by this time and decided to just drop everything and live with my old, out-of-date Formica countertops. Iris and I selected a date when I could meet her at the store to process another refund. That morning, Iris met me up front at the customer care desk. Franz, Iris’s supervisor joined her to process the large refund. I waited on a bench off to the side. After several minutes, Franz and Iris came out and approached me. Franz apologized for my wait but explained that the decision had been made on behalf on Lowe's to provide the countertops and installation at the price I had already paid! I was so shocked that I cried! I was thankful that I chased down my husband to share the good news. My husband’s response was this: “I guess this makes it clear that Lowe’s is our go-to place for home improvement from now on.” So be it!
The follow up is that, about a month later, the guys arrived to install the new countertops. The installers were so fun, professional, efficient and fast. I love the finished product! Our friends have been so complimentary. I have a bright, light kitchen. It's just as I’d hoped. Fun fact: No added structure was required to support my countertops when the old were removed to reveal what was there.

Delivery was originally scheduled 8-3, then changed during the day to 9:30-1:00, then changed again from 2-6, then I got a call that the driver was running a half hour late. The driver showed up at 7:30 and the condo doesn't allow deliveries after 7:00. The deliver company would not reschedule the next day so I called the store and they said they would get me on the schedule for the next day around 2:00 since I wasn't available until 11:30. That night I got a voicemail from the delivery company and I was on the schedule from 8:30-12:30.

We purchased an exclusive color Silestone Quartz called Copper Mist from Lowe's in the end of Aug. They came out. Did template. With many appointments coming late the installers finally showed up on Sept 25th to install. We had to pay extra because of the weight and size of island piece but they still only had 2 people show up. My husband ended up having to help.
This began the nightmare where they have placed the countertops cockeyed cut gaps on the edges so big that you can see the floor and top of cabinet wood. My counters are gray cabinets cream color. They filled these gaps with opaque white caulking and also got it all over my cabinets and counters. The glue on counter and backsplash is all globby and all over counter. Their fix they could change out caulking to clear! They completely forgot a 5 ft piece of backsplash that they claimed we hadn't paid for.
The next day at Lowe's it was refigured and we had paid. So they brought it out and that too was 1/4 too short. This was suppose to be different installers but they sent the same 2 as the first day. And he would not address the crooked and cut wrong issues. We ended up making them leave. The Island is placed crooked, they placed the faucet and sprayer hose holes so far back from sink the faucet water splashes all over counter, The counter is over on 2 in of the apron front where it shouldn't be with cuts next to it that they left open and even with drill holes. They left 1/4 in gaps on both sides of the stove front only. They fit tight in back. One side of counter workspace is over an inch shorter and the overhang is only an inch and the top end is almost 2 inches over. Not one piece they installed is right and to top it off they tore my new 36 in hand hammered copper sink and damaged a custom cabinet.
We ordered a 3/8 bevel edge which was almost $2 an in and what we got is over 1/2 inch bevel and is half the thickness of counter. They sent second crew who told GA GRANITE that they felt redo was the best option. Weeks of being passed from person to person we would be told it would be redone to they were going to fix what we had. Unless you can regrow quartz that's not happening.
They sent a third crew out and we thought again they were going to retemplate but no. They claim nothing is bad enough. They said they were sending money for my sink. Hasn't happened and now they want to send their cabinet people out instead of the people we had build and install to fix the damages. To fix a cabinet that is not sold by them and was custom put together. So now we are 7 or 8 weeks out from install. They have stop communicating with us. Like we are just going away.
The holidays are coming up. We can't finish our kitchen walls or install tile or stove vent cause we are still waiting on countertops and damages to be fixed. I have hundreds of pics of this $8000 mess. Oh and I almost forgot. They cut the 22 x 36 sinkhole out in my house. The installer had a respirator on. I was in living room crying because my house filled with white crystal dust. We have open floor plan and even upstairs was covered, all the wood on walls the beams. Inside my cabinets the pantry.
We had sore throats and headaches and now a cough for weeks. Even my animals were sick. I would wet mop washed the wood down and there would be more fall out every day. Never will we hire Lowe's or GA Granite < Lowe's quartz supplier and installers for anything, I wish I could give lower than a one star. Hopefully this saves someone else from the horrors we are going through.

Don’t give them your money! I’ve never had such an unprofessional job done in my life. The people they sent out to install my carpet could hardly speak English. They were supposed to fix a damaged area of the floor and level part of my floor before installing any carpet which they refused to do. Then they put down the carpet pad in my living room and were going to just leave! I called Lowe's and the boss told them to finish the job. The installer told me he was in a hurry to get home for the weekend as he didn’t live around here. Mind you, they showed up several hours late to begin with. So after about an hour I left to go to the corner store for a few moments leaving my daughter in charge. I came right back but they took that opportunity to leave without finishing the job!
The living room rug wasn’t finished near one door and none of the threshold bars were put down in that room or in the other one upstairs. Also they left all of the doors off of the hinges. They left in a hurry. I have made numerous phone calls and sent so many emails that I have lost count. I have asked for a refund for the work not finished and items I paid for that I never received. It has been about two years now and all they do is ignore me. Their customer service at the local store and at the corporate office is a joke!
I will NEVER again do business with these unprofessionals. Worst job ever done in my home. I had to pay someone else to come out and finish their job.

Took Lowe's year special on interest making a monthly payment to pay off in a year to defer interest GREAT! We are seniors felt we should purchase the extended warranty, first time ever! Now dream fridge quit working. Find out no techs are available in our area to honor our extended warranty, so Samsung said we could have a store credit meaning I still owe $1800. Store credit means I will still owe my account balance. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE CLASS ACTIONS INVOLVED.

I am on the 4th exact repair. It's been almost a month since service tech said he would send out 4th tumbler “because the washer is a piece of junk” but that's not their fault.
I contacted Lowe's warranty and spoke to a rep named Dominic. He was a prick and informed me because I installed the tumbler myself I would void my warranty. I tried to stay calm but he was a prick so I asked for a supervisor. He refused so I hung up and called Lowe’s corporate and spoke with Karen. She an operations supervisor but again she only a little better than the prick Dominic. She said the only thing we can do was to set another appointment for GE to come out and see that it was broken then to have them install it a second visit. 2 days off of work for that and a total of 8 so far since I bought the dam thing. So don't waste your money on Lowe's extended warranty. Save some money and go to Home-depot. It's a better company to deal with in my opinion.

We are a home builder in the Ocala, Florida area. We purchase tens of thousands of dollars of products for our home builds. Tried a couple of times to order 4 kitchen appliances through Lowe's East Ocala appliance department when we went to store. Our knowledgeable guy Chris was not working those days. There was another young man working there, but didn't know about appliances and was babysitting that department. So, I decided I will order online on October 26th, 2019.

Called Lowe's delivery immediately, there was no explanation for non delivery of appliances. Told me I can have Saturday delivery, same thing, no show.
Called Saturday after no show, told Sunday delivery. I called Sunday A.M. and was told there was no delivery scheduled. After back and forth on the phone on Sunday morning was told I would be first thing on Monday morning, November 11th 2019.

So Lowe's has chosen to no longer provide deliveries, and have hired a 3rd Party delivery service, XPO Logistics, who have proven incapable of doing their job. At first XPO seemed great; delivery within 24 hrs of online ordering, but my community doesn’t allow Sunday deliveries, so I needed to reschedule for Wednesday Oct 30; I received confirmation email and text, but I didn’t receive 4 hr window. So I called on delivery day #1, Oct 30 at 8:30am, and I was told the order was cancelled overnight, with no explanation as to why. It was just cancelled, and I had to reschedule for Thursday Oct 31; fridge was delivered, installed, and damaged. Installers were blasé about it, said it happens all the time, told me to call Lowe's within 30 days and they’ll send new one in 24 hrs, but I was leaving town for a week.
On Friday Nov 1 I called Lowe's CS to report the damage, but I would be unable to accept delivery until Saturday Nov 9. I rescheduled and was told by XPO no problem, they will deliver my fridge on Saturday Nov 9, and received an email confirming it. Friday Nov 8 I received an automated call confirming delivery for Nov 9, but again, I did not receive a 4 hr window. On now the 2nd delivery day, Saturday Nov 9, 8:30am, I called XPO to confirm delivery and I was told it was removed from the schedule at 4am, AGAIN with no explanation as to WHY. No Supervisor or Manager were available as they were “in a closed door meeting”, and I was told to call Lowe's CS. Lowe's CS tried to do what they could, but this is out of Lowe's CS hands; XPO trucks were already out for delivery, and XPO said they could not deliver it, even though they confirmed they would. XPO was to call within 24 hrs (by 10am Sunday) to confirm; if not, call Lowe's CS again.
XPO did NOT call by 10am on Sunday Nov 10, so I called Lowe's CS at 10:05am and was on the phone for 2 hours; they were on hold themselves during this 2 hr call, waiting to speak with an XPO Supervisor. Lowe's CS was first told by XPO that my address is out of their delivery area, but they already delivered to me a damaged product (to say the whole city of Ocala is out of delivery range is beyond me, and there’s 2 Lowe's here, the closest 2 miles away – is nobody in Ocala allowed deliveries by XPO??). The first XPO employee also told Lowe's CS that they have the product and it’s ready to be delivered. When Lowe's CS finally spoke with the XPO Supervisor to confirm the 3rd delivery date, he said they don’t have the product, but they assured it will be delivered on Tuesday Nov 12. XPO also assured delivery on Oct 30 and Nov 9, so I’m not holding my breath for delivery on Nov 12.

We ordered a new fridge on-line which was to be delivered for free from the Aurora, CO store. We confirmed the delivery date by phone and were told we would be called the morning of delivery to confirm the time. The day of delivery went by without a call and without a fridge arriving. We called the main number, they called the store and were told we had "bad weather" in our area so the delivery had been cancelled. Roads were clear and passable and the sun was shining that day. Another delivery date was arranged and we again did not receive a call to inform us the fridge would not be arriving this week but next week.
The Aurora, CO store delivery manager, Rich, did not return calls as promised. No effort was made to let us know when the deliveries were not being made, so one of us was at home, away from work, for two days waiting on a fridge. Corporate told us on the phone they would "escalate this" but no effort was made to assure the delivery of the fridge. We finally cancelled the order, not feeling assured we would get the fridge next week. We bought from a small-town Ace Hardware store (should have done that in the first place), where we know the people by name and they have to look us in the eye when something goes wrong.

I am describing the store specifically off Maynard and Chapel Hill Rd (54) in Cary, NC. I have shopped at Lowe's for at least 15 years (all over the USA) and this particular store is the most unfriendly one of all. Employees are not very friendly, sometimes talk down to you as if you don't know what you're doing and always act stressed. Maybe they are - I don't know, but it's just not making me want to go back when there's this 'grumpy' atmosphere created by their own hirees. Also, why do we have someone work in the hardware department (specifically door locks) who does not know how to re-key? It just seems odd - never had this problem at any of the other Lowe's.

We purchased 12 windows and 2 doors from Lowe's and had them do the install. Every single thing that they installed leaks when it rains. We have been trying to get them to come back and fix the problem, but they wait 1-2 weeks to get back to us, then they "can't find the leaks" because we live in Texas and the water dries. They offered us 200 dollars to repair it ourselves (not a chance) and then continued to blow us off. We are still within our warranty and they have yet to do anything after numerous phone calls and attempts to elevate the situation.
I called again today (Friday) after heavy rains last night in which water has saturated 3 inches in from the windows and doors. I was told that the contractors would contact me within 48 hours, around Thursday (yes, that is right, 6 days from today). Apparently, that is 48 work hours, not actual hours.

I heard nothing, so I called the store and was told the order was canceled because they could not get them. So I googled the part number to buy somewhere else and here they are on the Lowe's website. So I called the 800 number for Lowe's and spoke to a young lady named Faith. Faith proceeded to tell me that since I ordered online, there was nothing she could do but place another online order for me at the new price of $38.98. I said no. She said maybe the store manager could do something for me. She transferred me to The store manager.
Store manager didn't have much of an explanation that made sense about the cancellation and still being on the website as being available. But graciously said he would discount 1 belt to 50% off and free shipping to home, if I placed the order today online. $19.49 is better than 38 but he would not order 2. I am still not satisfied a customer. My order was cancelled so Lowe's could charge more for the belt? Is that false advertising or is it a fraudulent come on price?

Obtained a 4x8 19/32 BC Pine ULX Ext plywood sheet and asked for it to be ripped into 4 equal strips about 1 ft. x 8 ft., or 11-7/8" inches wide, allowing for the saw blade thickness when cut. What I got was an inept and poorly trained (or don't give a **) store clerk that cut horizontally from the bottom of the sheet up while he pulled and then pushed the panel thru the saw on the supporting rollers. The panel bucked up and down multiple times dipping both up and down thru the sawing process. I'm surprised the saw blade did not explode.
The ending pieces are 4 unequal tapered and uneven pieces varying up to 2-1/2 inches in width both over and under. When I complained the Panel Operator said, "Sorry about that" and proceeded off into the lumber department. What an inept and poorly trained employee. Of course the alert at checkout used the stamped code on the panel so there was no correction there either. I would not recommend anyone to have Lowe's personnel in Temple Texas perform a panel cut, as you're just throwing your money away for unusable material.

They did have a package containing three hinges, but that blister pack also included an outdoor knob, an indoor handle and a latching hook, none of which I needed. And that package only came in white or black finish where I needed a brass finish. Nevertheless, I bought the white-finished package rather than buy two packages of two-pack hinges. They work well but we do not like the white finish.
As to the coil springs, they stocked two varieties in blister packs with little information as to the difference except that one was larger in diameter than the other. And you can guess, when I got back home I learned that I had bought the wrong one. I guess that's my own fault, but it would have been good to have a better description of the strength of the springs.

If you buy fencing from them be sure you understand the difference between staggering, racking, and straight styles. Or, you will end up, as I did with large gaps underneath the fence and with no way to correct this except to buy and install additional latticework.
Also, neither Lowe's nor the installer will haul dirt away, and there is a lot of it. You will need to find someone to shovel and haul it away, then find a place that will accept it, and pay $25-50 more. Finally, don't expect a lock even though you asked for one. The contract stated "hardware included." But all this meant was a "latch" which provides no security.

Whether buying or making a return, customers want to be helped in a professional and efficient manner. Customers’ opinions of customer service is largely based on their perception of how they are treated. Most of BC Retailers are posting their refund policy unless they offer a full cash refund, exchange, or store credit within seven days of the purchase date. I believe if I ask any front line staff from department store no one will give me wrong information. It is very wrong, and this kind of practice towards consumers must stop.
I've been a Lowe's customer for so many years. These comments are made about the good people. The people who work at this store are very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. I understand that manager may have to fix messes that someone else caused. And, it’s not fair, but that’s life. Please deal with it and be a professional and take responsibility. As a customer point of view, I think as a management you should admit your mistake and take responsibility for it. I think the manager is trying to get away with deflecting, or explaining what went wrong. I need some explanation.

Waiting patiently for the permit, a week later it still had not arrived. I called ACI on this. They informed me that they would email the permit to me. Three hours later the permit was emailed to me.
The next morning the city inspector arrived. He passed the mechanical inspection, but informed me that ACI was also suppose to apply for and provide me with an electrical permit. The inspector told me the electrical would fail anyway because the electrician legged off of an existing 220 outlet, thus leaving two 220 outlets wired to one 220 breaker. Apparently ACI did not file for this permit as well. I called ACI of this permit and the improper wiring. An ACI representative told me they would obtain the permit and talk to the electrician. ACI never responded to me on the electrical permit or whether they talked to the electrician. I learned a week later from the City of Spokane that the permit was finally obtained by ACI.
I called the ACI sales representative who placed the initial bid for the A/C work to ask him to correct the wiring issue. He said he would look into the wiring and get back to me. He called later that day and informed me that the electrician told him that he disconnected the existing 220 so the existing outlet had no power. I pulled the electrical panel to verify this and discovered that the existing outlet was indeed still wired to a breaker; thus, still two 220 circuits on one 220 breaker, of which I have taken photos for proof.
Of note, the installer left a large hole in an exterior wall where the A/C plumbing lines were piped in, leaving me to repair the wall. The exterior A/C unit was also installed underneath a sloping eave, leaving me to place a cover over it during winter to prevent damage from snow and ice falling onto the unit. Once I realized that ACI would no longer respond to my concerns, I called Lowe’s project specialist who accompanied ACI’s sales representative during the bidding process on the issues with ACI. More than a month has passed and Lowe’s specialists has yet called back.

Window project woes! My wife and I were finally in a position to start working on remodeling our house. We decided to start with the windows, as our existing one’s were in horrible shape, and since it is the least exciting part of a remodel we’d be motivated to pay it off quick so we could get to the fun stuff. We ordered Pella windows on May 18th from Lowe’s in Traverse City, MI. We had made the first couple payments and still hadn’t received any word on when they would be installed, so my wife called Lowe's. Turns out our windows had been at the store for several weeks, but the company that was supposed to install them quit working for Lowe's, and Lowe's didn’t think to reach out to let customers know that there was going to be a delay.
2 weeks later our windows were dropped off at the house, and a very nice gentleman from the Bay City area, which is a 2 ½ hour drive from our home, showed up to start the install. Unsurprisingly most of the windows were not the right size, the trim that was delivered was wrong, and nobody had thought to order supporting materials such as extension jambs, spray foam insulation, or caulk. Through some creative carpentry, and our willingness to lose view-able space in order to get the project moving, we were able to get most of the windows installed. There was one that was just too far off and had to be reordered.
Through the installation process, and our inspections, there were multiple screens that were bent, and one window sash that had a weird bubble in the vinyl from what I believe is a screw head that wasn’t fully tightened down before final assembly. It is now the 10th of October and after us having to reach out yet again last week, we are being told that it should be delivered today sometime between 1 and 5 pm. No mention of the other materials that are needed to complete the job. Speaking of completed job, we are also now being told that installation does not include painting of the trim or extension jambs!
I don’t understand how Lowe's can think this is even close to being acceptable! My father owned a construction company, and I grew up building/remodeling houses, and even did it professionally for a while. Putting in new windows, and not painting the trim is like selling a new car to someone and then telling them bumpers aren’t included. I never even thought to ask if it included painting the trim as the job wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t finished. As I mentioned earlier this was the first project in our home remodel, and unless something drastic happens it will be the last we do with Lowe's!

I have always had good experiences with my purchases from Lowe's, but it appears only when I purchase an item in store and not online. I purchased a a bathroom vanity from Lowes.com to have it shipped to the store (Boynton Beach, FL East) for pick-up. I ordered it about 2 weeks prior to my project start date. When it arrived, they called and told me it was delivered and they would store it for me until my contractor could pick it up. When my contractor picked it up, they told him that it was damaged. I called the store to get more details and find out when the new vanity would be arriving. Of course, I couldn't get anyone on the phone so I called Lowe's customer service who got in contact with the store. They said they had already placed a new order to replaced the damaged one so it should only be a few days to arrive. According to the store, they realized it was damaged and placed an order, but never let me know.
So arrival day comes and I haven't heard if the vanity has been delivered to the store. I called the store and find out that they never placed the order so now I have another week, which is now delaying my project even more. When I call back to get an ETA, I am now told that it will be shipped by the vendor to my house and the delivery date should be another week. In addition, they told me it was out of their hands because it is being shipped by the vendor. I just called the shipping company and today was supposed to be the delivery date, but nope. I might get it Thursday. So now I have been waiting for a vanity for over a month. Oh and the best part is that I was charged for the vanity when I haven't received it and I only got a $200 credit on a $2000 vanity. What a joke! This is my last purchase with Lowe's.

If you need to buy a large appliance, go anywhere other than Lowe's. They have horrible customer service, and they do nothing to help customers if there is a problem. We ordered a dishwasher to pick up in Vallejo. The order confirmation says Vallejo, but then we got the pick-up notice for Vacaville. That is over an hour of extra driving. When we called Vacaville to see if the item was really there, they refused to even check. We had to call Vallejo, and wait on hold forever to have them see if it was really in Vacaville. I'm not sure why no one in Vacaville could tell us they had it there. No one could explain the problem, and they refused to do anything.
So, we get the dishwasher picked up, pay to have it installed, and then find out Lowe's website had the specifications wrong. Lowe's response to hearing that they told me tough, and that buying from Lowe's is a buyer beware situation. This is what they quoted as their terms. "Lowe's cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the Materials displayed on the Site, including, without limitation, prices, product images, specifications, dimensions, availability and services. The Materials may contain technical inaccuracies and typographical errors. Products and services are the responsibility of the manufacturer and service provider, respectively and subject to the warranties offered by such manufacturer or service provider."

We purchased a new house and replaced all of the carpet with Stainmaster Pet Protect Soulmate from Lowe’s in Ft Wayne IN. I am very pleased with this purchase. Lowe’s had good communication from the measurement to the delivery and installation. The installation is very good. No visible seams. Stairs and steps are done properly. This was a fairly large installation (upstairs, downstairs, stairway) and the installers stayed late to finish in one day. So far I’m very pleased with the quality of the carpet.

We waited two months for our refrigerator to be delivered. Then we waited 5 hours to find out they weren't coming. I had specifically advised Lowe's that we had a long paved rural driveway and that box trucks above about 22 feed could not be used to make the delivery. In fact a 16 foot truck is much better. They assured me it was not an issue. Lowe's had delivered several appliances to us in the past, so I had chosen them despite their higher appliance cost than some competitors. They wouldn't price match to less friendly shippers. The day of the delivery, the driver called to say he would arrive shortly. Great! An early delivery. We had cleared the garage. Emptied the old fridge and pulled it out. Removed our steps so they could ramp into the kitchen.
However, after 5 hours I call to find out where they were? They waved off due to our driveway. Hadn't bothered to call. They assured me though that they would be back later. No one arrives by end of day, so I call and work my way through the phone tree to the store manager. Apparently I can pick it up or cancel the order because they have larger box 24 to 26 foot box trucks now. Really. You just now decided to tell me that? The three prior times I checked on this it didn't come up? I asked if they could use their massive forklift to crate the fridge to our house. That is how they have delivered bricks to our house off the large freight flatbeds. But the manager said that was not an option. Right before she told me that there was no refund on the delivery. Of course.
The manufacturer sale is now over on this fridge. This is the only counter depth fridge that fits our house. So I have to pick up this fridge. If I had wanted to do that I would have just gone down to the Navy Exchange and saved some money, but I am getting a bit old for that. The sales staff are very pleasant. But if you have any concerns about Lowe's being able to make a delivery to your home, don't count on it. Left out of the cold.

Do not buy special order carpet and installation services at the Mustang Lowe's. These clowns are complete unorganized, untrained idiots. It took several visits to complete our order which in itself was very frustrating as every time we went in we were told something completely different from a different untrained circus monkey. None of them are on the same page about any part of the processes involved. When we finally got the carpet ordered and paid for they changed the date, which in turn changed our move in date to the house we were buying. Again, a huge headache and very frustrating. They initially gave us a date of October 10th that the carpet would be in and to allow 48 hours to be contacted by the installer (Midwest Flooring).
Surprisingly, we received a call from Midwest Flooring saying our carpet was in on Monday, September 30th and that they would be out to install it on Thursday, October 3rd. Naturally we were ecstatic. We again changed our move in date to Friday, October 4th. On the morning of our install I get a call from some Mexican guy saying he can't find our damn carpet, saying the office said it's at the warehouse and the warehouse says it's at the office. If you can't tell, Midwest Flooring is about as unorganized and confused as Lowes is
So, after making phone calls to Lowes and Midwest Flooring I learn that they can't decide who screwed up and naturally, they're both blaming each other and neither will admit blame of course and now I'm told we're back to our original date of the carpet coming in on the 10th and who the hell knows when it will actually be installed at this point. WAY TO DROP THE BALL LOWES! I can assure you, I'll never shop at Lowes this morning and cut up my Lowe's card about 30 minutes ago to ensure I don't get weak in a moment of desperation.

My husband and I are reasonable people and don’t like to complain, but with that being said we are very dissatisfied with how the Riverton Utah Lowe’s has handled our whole situation. We went in this last Labor Day to order carpet as we knew they had some good deals. We worked with a guy whose name we will not write for privacy and respect of him. He was very nice upfront. He set up a appointment to get us a quote.
We asked him if they would be able to get our carpet installed the first week of October as we are having a baby in the middle of October. His response would convince us to either buy carpet from them or go somewhere else. He said “We aren’t that busy so I don’t see why not. It takes about one to two weeks after the carpet has been delivered to get it scheduled and installed. So that would put you at the 4th of October.” So obviously with the time crunch at hand it was an easy decision and we didn’t feel like we had to go anywhere else.
Fast forward a week, we get our quote back and we go in to talk to this associate about placing our order. Once he found out we were going to be financing and getting a Lowe’s card, he was all on board and making sure we only work with him. So I’m not sure what kind of commission he gets from that. Anyway, as we were placing our order he said the carpet should be at the manufacturer on September 30th. Then a week or two for scheduling and installing. We were very confused because that’s not what he told us the first time. I said well how long does it take to get installed after the carpet is in. He said “About 7 days since we aren’t that busy.”. So that pushed us off again to the 8-10th. So we still went ahead with the order since we are so short on time and due with our baby between the 15-19th. We just needed to get this done. We didn’t even look around at other places because of the promises that we were made.
Fast forward another week. They called us and said “Good news your carpet got to us earlier than planned. We will get you on the schedule for the 15th and 16th of October.”. My husband asked if there was any chance to get it installed sooner and they said, “No, there isn’t because it is a big project and we prioritize smaller projects first to get them done.” And left it at that.... uh... so you’re telling me that we get pushed back because our project is bigger and we are paying you more money?! How does that make any sense?!
So we didn’t have an option. They have now moved our dates 3 times. We felt stuck because we are out of time to look around and get something set up elsewhere. They won’t give my husband or I an answer besides “We don’t make promises. So that’s all we can do.” Completely infuriating. Then we get a call from the rep we were working with telling us about a rebate we qualified for, OH AND that he misquoted us by $200. He apologized but asked us to come in with the new Lowe’s card to put that on there as well. I’m sorry, we already signed the contract with the price we agreed to. I couldn’t believe this.
I called the rep a few days later asking if there is anything we can do to get our carpet moved up because we need it in so we can refinance our house before our baby comes. He told me, “Let me call them and see what I can do and give you a call back tomorrow because I know you guys are in a time crunch with the baby coming.”. Lo and behold, I never got a call back from him.
So I called him to see if I could get an update, and immediately he said, “Let me have you talk to (this other guy who we hadn’t ever spoken to or worked with. Keep in mind he SPECIFICALLY told us to only work with him)." So first he didn’t call me and second he wouldn’t even talk to me. That’s great customer service. The person I spoke to didn’t even really know what was going on and just told me, “Because it’s a big project it’s just how the process works. So we can’t move your install date.” What is going on and why are we getting the runaround?! We can’t get solid answers from anyone. So ridiculous.
I told my husband this and he called the store to talk with the Store Director, but she had just left for the day so he spoke with a Manager on duty. This manager was very nice and genuine. Finally someone that has basic customer service skills. He was very apologetic and told my husband that he would talk with the department manager over flooring to get some resolutions/answers and call him back in an hour. Luckily he did follow through and the department manager did reach back out to my husband.
The department manager said that he would be having a conversation with his team and see what he can do about compensation for the trouble. He did call back the next day and said we did not owe the extra $200 that his rep misquoted us, and said he will call the installation team frequently to see if there is any way to move us up and will be in touch. I can’t believe it has had to go this far, but I felt the need to post about this experience because I don’t want this to happen to someone else. My husband and I were going to go get a quote for blinds from this Lowe’s, but now we are going to go somewhere else. As this has been nothing but a nightmare and a headache with these guys. My husband and I will be shopping at Home Depot from now on. We suggest you do the same.

I will never purchase a Lowe's appliance again because clearly do not care at all about the delivery businesses they hire out to and the woeful lack of customer service those companies provide. We purchased a new refrigerator at a Lowe's in San Francisco just before Labor Day. Delivery was set up for following Saturday and a careful description of the delivery location was given and recorded in order. DSI Logistics - if anyone ever tells you they use this company, run as fast as you can - shows up late and tells us that they only brought two people and they need 4 for a second floor. They KNEW it was second floor from the Lowe's order and all the home office at DSI had to do was Google to address to double check.
So, set up again for the next Saturday. DSI never shows up that day - told by neighbor that a delivery truck stopped, took a picture of the front door and left. Doorbell NEVER rang and we have a RING set up so know that they did not come to the door. So, back to Lowe's to cancel but talked into trying again and delivery set up for the following Friday. Same company - Lowe's apparently is slow on the uptake. DSI actually shows up with 4 guys, takes out old fridge, brings in new and it doesn't work. Exactly who the broken appliance is on we will never know - was it manufacturer, damaged at Lowe's or damaged by the delivery service? Regardless, DSI guys then tell us they are taking it back out but are leaving with our original refrigerator because they are behind schedule.
Managed to rant enough to prevail and get our original back in but went to Lowe's AGAIN to cancel order. Talked into one more try after given a partial refund. So, here we go again. Refrigerator coming today. Well, phone call to DSI when we did not get the phone call from them telling us time frame, and we are put on hold, permanently - they never came back on line. Now heading to Lowe's to get a refund and that is it.
Clearly, the priority of Lowe's is to cheap out on delivery. Read the reviews for DSI in San Francisco - it is abysmal. Worst part is that we have purchased multiple appliances from Lowe's for our home in Tampa, FL and had wonderful experiences. But because there is no oversight of the delivery services they hire, we will never again trust whether we need an appliance in CA or FL.

The appliance comes with a 1yr manufacture warranty and if you purchase an extended warranty, you are double dipping the 1st yr. In other words don't think you have the manufactures warranty the 1st year and then your extended warranty you purchased will start after that, giving you a total of four years warranty because you will be WRONG.

In August this year we had new siding repaired and in the process, they found the flashing on the top of the roof was not installed properly leaving a large gap for rain/water to get inside the chimney. This caused the wood in the chimney to rot and we had to have the chimney rebuilt. I find this appalling to say the least that Lowe's using subcontractors who do shoddy work and the Lowe's won’t stand behind their work. Last time we will be using Lowe's for any home improvements. Our salesperson was Mark. The store was the one located on Dallas Highway in Marietta, Ga.

of the store. I see the employee I requested the tape measure from. He is meandering in the paint dept. Looks at me but didn't offer a tape measure. Continued to the customer service desk. Asked if they had an Appliance Specialist on hand. I needed to buy a dryer. She pulled their schedule out and said, "Yes, Richard." Turns out Richard was standing next to me. I said, "Hi Richard. I need your assistance in Appliances." He replied, "Do you just have questions or are you interested in buying something." "Ah I am here to buy a dryer," I replied. He said, "Okay I will send (cant remember the name) back there to help you."
I heard the request for this person to go to appliances but still no employee. I went back to the front to find Richard & Kathy and some other employee watching the Seahawks/Steelers Football game. Imagine my rage! After a Few "**" Bombs saying, "Really. You're watching football when I have been in the back for 1/2 hour to buy a dryer!" I was asked to leave the store. You just can't make this up. What A freaking joke. I passed up Home Depot to go to this store. I went to Home Depot in Spanaway and bought my dryer.

This is a special shoutout to Steve in the Hardware Dept Port Orchard Store. I have to say, I have never been disappointed with the products or the customer service Lowe's has provided over the years. If they ain't got it, they'll get it. Their staff are exceptionally helpful and Steve is an excellent example of the best. I am so thankful that Lowe's is there for me and that they appreciate military personnel and shows with the discount they offer. I am so very pleased with Lowe's and only wish other businesses were as good. Thanks.

Product was good, window installers damaged the new window frame during installation. $20,000.00 total job. Dealing with the store for almost 2 yrs. without correction of the problem. Have to deal with new people every time I go there. Factory has responded to certain problems and corrected immediately. They note each time the installation damage on their paperwork. Last visit to store new person said that they delete their files after a year and have no record of damage and can't do anything about it. This has been going on for almost two years and the store employees could care less. I was a contractor for 40 years so I am very understanding to these type of problems. Lowe's doesn't have a clue how to handle this. I don't like social media to air these problems but that is next.

This was my experience with buying tile from Lowe's. This is a lengthy story but one to read and be forewarned. Over a month ago I found tile on Lowe's website that I fell in love with. The price was too good to be true. No stores near me had this tile in stock. So I decided to call Lowe's customer service. They were extremely nice and found when more of the tile I wanted should arrive to a store near me. Then they confirmed that the price I saw on their website, because I gave them the item number and they were looking at the same tile, they stated that that would be the price and that it was a great deal. I was so excited thinking this was too good to be true, but the customer service person at Lowe's confirmed the price online with me.
A couple of weeks later I go to the Lowe's that should have received the tile. A nice man who worked at Lowe's helped me out and I showed him a picture of the tile and the price. He said "Yep that's the price." I told the him I needed 1200 sq ft of tile. 1 case of this tile covered 11.60 sq ft, making a total of me needing 104 cases of tile. The purchase price of the tile was $0.22 sq ft, making each case $2.55. I purchased one case to take home with me, and the Lowe's worker and someone else who came to help invoiced 103 cases for me. This was on a Monday, and I scheduled the delivery for the coming Saturday.
Between Monday and Saturday, my husband got into a car accident and suffered a broken neck and bruised his spinal cord. My husband has been in the hospital and now a spinal rehabilitation center to learn how to basically do everything the body can do. We still do not know if my husband will get full function back of everything. Needless to say I was not doing well. So the last thing I needed was for Lowe's to make things worse. I get a call on Friday, a day after my husband's accident, letting me know that my tile will be delivered between 2 and 6pm on Saturday. I confirmed this with them that that would work. I planned Saturday around the tile delivery.
Come Saturday, around 10am, my kids and myself are on our way to the hospital to see their daddy, when I get a call stating that the tile should be delivered within an hour. I was so upset, I called the delivery company and stated that I would not be home and confirmed the delivery for between 2-6pm. The driver had asked if he could just drop it off in front of my garage since it's only 13 cases. I said absolutely not! I told them I could not move all that tile by myself. then I stated that it should be 103 cases total and not 13. They said, "OK we will call you back." They did not call me back. I had to call them back. When I called back I was told that the driver completely ignored my request and dropped off the 13 cases of tile in front of my garage and left. They then transferred me to the store manager, where I bought the tile, and I will admit I was already very emotional and not the nicest. I did apologize, but I was mad.
The store manager made the driver go back and pick up the tile. But when I asked where the rest of my cases of tile were he said, "Ma'am you only bought 104 pieces of tile, not 103 cases of tile." I said no that's not true. I told him the names of the two people who helped me invoice the cases of tile, he said well that one guy is new to flooring and they didn't even have that much of the tile in stock. That was a lie because the man that helped me said they had over 400 cases on hand. I told the store manager that I was going to call Lowe's customer service because this was not ok. He said I can do that, but he knew exactly what they would tell me. He said they would tell me it was a pricing error and would not be able to sell me the tile at that price.
I called the customer service and lo and behold that store manager was right. They told me those exact word. They said this was pricing error and there was nothing they could do about it. I said yes, "There is, you can honor that price." They said, "We don't do that pretty much." I asked to speak to a supervisor. Unfortunately the supervisor was no help. Again, I was emotional already, and cussed about twice with the supervisor, then apologized. But in the end I asked for them to please honor the price, because this was not my mistake. This was theirs. They still would not do that. All they said were they were sorry and they will make sure this will not happen to me again.
I said to them that I am nobody and they will not care if this happens again. Then I asked when did it come to this? When companies don't honor their mistakes and the customers get screwed. They just don't care. I have a screen shot of the price of the tile that was online, but for some reason I am unable to upload it. But it was $0.22 a sq ft. Each case covered 11.60 sq ft, making the case purchase price $2.55 for each case. This is what was invoiced but not honored.

Husband and I decided to go with Lowe’s for a 6 ft vinyl fence in July. Everything sounded great. We got the Lowe’s credit card for a discount and paid the $6000 off immediately so we didn’t get hit with the 27% APR. The sales rep was awesome. He told us they were backed up into mid August because it’s summer and everyone wants a fence. Ok...fine by me. So we thought about it overnight and immediately signed the contract the next day. Figuring now...it would probably be installed late August to early September.
Well it is now September so my husband called the project coordinator only to find out the order is still incomplete. They for some reason shipped our fence locks to us early August so we thought it was going to be installed soon. Well the coordinator tells us they’re waiting for fence locks. **! We got them a month ago! They said, "Okay we will figure it out and be in contact with you next week to schedule the delivery." It should be quick! A week rolls by. Nothing! So my husband calls and calls. No answer or the coordinator is out of office. Next day, I get a phone call saying the delivery is scheduled for October 11 and installation October 14. And also a new name for my project coordinator.
What is going on!!! We paid in full for 4 months and are still waiting for a fence. I wish we could just cancel and go with a professional fence installer and not deal with this headache. I will post an updated review once I get more details on this God awful process. Do not use Lowe’s for a fence!! They will give you the run around and no option to cancel unless it’s within the first three days! Ridiculous!

The men were very condescending. The cabinets were put in with the hardware on the outside instead of on the inside where it belonged. I have had to have them come out twice already for the flooring they installed as it was done incorrectly. This was a 30,000.00 dollar job and with the materials and the cost of the contractor I did not get what I wanted in the end and am struggling to get the flooring people to come fix the floor. We bought the best flooring they had and it is suppose to never warp or have any issues and yet my kitchen floor is warping.. I was told by two folks who work for Lowe's that it was installed incorrectly. I truly feel like they took my money and ran.

They are not sending out paper statements. I believe that they are purposely trying to get you to skip a payment so they can bill you for late payment. I’ve tried numerous times to get them to send me a copy of my statement and they always tell me they sent one and because I’m older I honestly think they are trying to trick me. It’s a shame that all they want is your money and don’t care about us as a customers. Not one time has anyone even tried to follow up just to see if I truly got a statement in the mail. Thanks Lowe’s for all your help!

I returned to a store in Mississauga several items I ordered online from Lowe's. I have waited over a week and called Lowe's online and by telephone. They assured me that I would receive a refund for the items and still to date nothing has been refunded. I have had this issue every single time I order online. When you purchased items in store and return the items the refunded goes through within 24/48 hours. But if you order online, you have issues getting your money back. I have complained multiple times to Lowe's. They do not address the issue or provide any explanation as to the reason why their online team fails to process refunds. I am so disappointed with Lowe's.

We bought a house on January 2019 and needed new major appliances. We bought a LG side by side, door in door fridge, Frigidaire Induction Range, a GE Vented Range Hood and Bosch Dishwasher from Lowe's Store 1003 in Tampa Palms, Tampa, Florida. We wanted the appliances delivered and installed before we moved in. The Range hood & DW were installed independently. The range and fridge were installed by Maurice ** (great guy, correct and nice), but it was very difficult to get out the Jenney range with attached microwave on top, so he called his colleagues (Adrian and Melvin, thanks again guys!) who were coming back from St. Pete and it was the end of their work day. They stopped by and it took a half second for the three of them to get that piece out and the new range in. I rate their service with 5 stars. They were great. Thanks again to Maurice, Adrian & Melvin for a great service. I hope Lowe's take note and keep them employed.

Me and my girlfriend of 14 years have bought a house together and we were out shopping for lawn furniture, plants, etc., for our new home. And frankly, we'll NEVER shop at any Lowe's again! Her LATE HUSBAND was a fallen, decorated Desert Storm HERO and when she showed the cashier her Military ID, the cashier told her that she needed to "register," before she could get a discount. So when she went to "register," she was told that she needed his "time of service, his Branch of service, etc., etc., etc.” She simply fought back a few tears, bowed her head, quietly uttered, “No thank-you,” and walked away….
SHAME ON YOU, LOWE'S! Have you any idea how many bottled up memories you invoked by putting this poor Lady through such an interrogation? SHAME ON YOU! We go to Home Depot, she shows her ID and BAM, we get the discount. We go to HOME BASE, she shows her ID and BAM, we get our discount! We’ve gone to many other retail outlets across this great country, she shows her Military ID and BAM, we get a discount! SCREW YOUR REGISTRATION AND SCREW LOWE'S!!!!

To require the wife of a fallen military hero to "register" the horrors she's already lived through and has an ID to prove it, all for a lousy 10% discount, is above and beyond insult!

My refrigerator stopped working suddenly and I had to buy a new refrigerator. I was searching online and found one at Lowe's with a great promotion price. So I bought it online on Tuesday and it said that the refrigerator will be delivered on Friday. As I live in a co-op, which only allows delivery during a specific time frame, I had to call them to confirm that they have to deliver the refrigerator in the time frame that my apartment allows (FYI, the email from Lowe's says they will deliver it between 7 am to 9 pm). I called Lowe's on Wednesday, explained everything, and the operator said he wrote it down. I called them again on Thursday, hoping to know if they have set up the delivery time by any chance. When I called them, they didn't remember anything about what I requested earlier. So I had to ask them again that the delivery has to be between 9 am and 3 pm.
Later on that day, I got a confirmation email that they will deliver my refrigerator between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. It was all fine until this point. On Friday (delivery day), my wife waited at home but they didn't give her a call about the delivery. So my wife called Lowe's to check when it's going to be delivered. At first, they said it will be delivered on time. So my wife waited until almost 1 PM but nothing came in. So she called Lowe's again and the operator suddenly "yelled" at my wife. She said to wait and made my wife wait on the line for 20 minutes for nothing. After that, she "yelled again" at my wife that it is my wife's fault and they don't have the refrigerator in stock. She was so unorganized when she was saying according to my wife, but the point was that they don't have the refrigerator in their stock and they cannot deliver it today.
My wife called them again later to ask what actually happened. And they kept transferring the call to each other, not doing anything for more than 20 minutes. Finally my wife got in touch with one of their store manager. And she didn't apologize for anything that they did, and just said it could happen as they normally check their stock on the same day of delivery, which is totally a nonsense. She never said 'sorry' or 'apology' when she was talking, and never tried to explain about what has happened. So we had to cancel our order.
Summarizing, 1. Operators are so unorganized and some of them are extremely RUDE. 2. Their stock management is extremely unorganized. They sent me all the confirmation email about the delivery and then they found out that they don't have the item in their stock on the delivery date. And according to them, it is normally what they do. They don't check if they have items in their stock until the last minute. 3. All of their attitudes to this issue was so unprofessional. They tried to avoid facing the issue and they never tried to resolve the issue. I really don't like to write something bad about any services or companies, but this was the worst experience ever in my life. FYI, it was Lowe's Orangeburg (NY) store. I don't know how other stores are doing, but looking at what these guys are doing, I don't expect much from other stores also.

We had the worst experience with our most recent order. Below is the step by step which we feel is severely misleading. 1.) We clicked the below landing page where it says Free Installation “Select Dishwashers” which took us to a number of options of dishwashers to select. See icon image below. Screen Shot 2019-08-26 at 6.47.26 PM.png
2.) We select the dishwasher and under color/finish it was lowe’s has us covered with warranty, assembly, haul away, and more. You cannot click this so we add to cart and move along. S 3.) Once added in cart it gives us add on option for haul away which we order and extended warranty which we do not. There are no restrictions on haul away and also nothing that mentions the ability to even pay for installation. At this stage it’s implied throughout the entire process the installation is included in the delivery of the product. We purchase haul away to remove our old dishwasher. 4.) It takes us to delivery and payment which we fill in all the information. Nothing about installation is mentioned in the invoice, email confirmation, or phone call.
The driver arrived on site and did not remove the dishwasher because one value was connected and also informed us they do not do installations. This is not his fault and he was respectful. The item was dropped off and left in our kitchen. We call Lowe’s and are transferred through a series of channels from corporate to local to help with installation. No managers were available and we spoke to 6 different people. Eventually someone took down our name and said we would get called back. We have no dishwasher and our sink is not functional until a new one is put in so we were required to pay a 3rd party to install this first thing next day at a very expensive cost.
Not only were the advertisements misleading and setup to anger customers, but you as a company failed to upsell a customer to an installation. Had there been an installation option in the cart I would have paid for it or noticed the error and found an alternate route. An email should be sent after, or a notification in the cart should be giving for installation or this will be more of an issue. Unless there is some rectification we will never shop at Lowe’s again as this experience has made buying an appliance a nightmare rather than a simple transaction.
