    They use a different model number than the manufacturer and every other retailer. They string you along on chat for over 45 minutes only to tell you that, oops, they cannot price match after all because the model numbers don't match. What a joke. Horrible outfit. If you don't want to price match, don't. But don't play games and waste people's time. Home Depot had a better deal with much nicer service. Buh Bye Lowe's. You stink!!

    I thought we'd try doing business with Lowe's in buying a new washing machine after a couple issues we had with Sears on other appliance purchases. After speaking with a "customer care" person on the phone, I was promised delivery on the following Friday when we knew someone would be home to take delivery and install. Based on that, I ordered the washer. Then they sent an email changing the date to a date no one would be home. I called back and they changed the date again (more promises they didn't keep) to a Sunday when someone would be home.

    Since the purchase date, Lowe's has changed the delivery date again - now FOUR TIMES. Instead of delivery within 3-7 days, it will have been 16 DAYS since the purchase - provided we don't cancel the order, which we may yet do based on the store manager's callback today who's fulfilling the order. Doesn't inspire any confidence. I recommend avoiding doing business with these people. The company's financial performance has suffered recently so who knows how long they will be around.

    I needed a new lawn mower and I only wanted a corded electric lawn mower. I went to my local Lowe’s on Memorial Day and discovered they were having a holiday sale, but the lawn mower I wanted was not on sale. I asked if there were any sales or discounts and was told to open a Lowe’s charge account. The cashier asked if I wanted $30 or 5% off my purchase, explaining it was for opening the charge account. I selected the $30 off the lawn mower. I was not given paperwork, or instructed that if I needed to return the item, I would lose the $30 gratuity for opening the charge account.

    While trying to take my purchase out of my car, my neighbor stopped by to lend a hand. He is moving in about a month and told me that he would give me his as he didn’t want to take it with him on his move. He had only used it one season, so it was nearly new. I had a doctor’s appointment near Hatfield the next day and stopped by the Lowe’s to return the item, but I first asked about the $30, which I would like to use in the future. I was told that it was a ‘use it or lose it’ gratuity. I asked to speak with the store manager and learned they only had department managers on staff.

    The department manager, I think her name was Jenn, told that if I purchased something then and there, they would honor the $30. I looked for a Hoover corded vacuum to learn that Lowe’s doesn’t carry Hoover. I looked for a forsythia, and they didn’t have that as well. These were the only items I needed and I certainly didn’t want to purchase something I didn’t need just for the sake of using the $30.

    I returned to the department manager who told me she couldn’t give me a store credit because it wasn’t money. Yet, the Oaks store took $30 off the lawn mower. I found the department manager rude as well as a woman at the returns desk. Had this happened in Boscov’s or Home Depot, I would have received a store credit without hesitation; because these two stores understand customer service and know how to maintain their client base. I left the store vowing never to return to another Lowe’s. I still have the lawn mower and am not certain whether I will pay the bill when it arrives. Lowe’s needs to take customer service lessons from the two stores mentioned above. They also need to hire respectful staff.

    I went to Lowe's to return a Kobalt 227 pc mechanic's toolset. This was a toolset that had a broken case when I opened it. I took it to Lowe's to exchange. The cashier told me that they could not find it on my Lowe's card. Then the head cashier said that there was nothing they could do as I do not have a receipt. I said this has a lifetime warranty. Then I was told that I had to call an 800# for Kobalt for any help now. This totally disregards your tools warranty. It disregards that this was broken when I unwrapped it. This disregards that I purchased it with my Lowe's card. This is just the worst experience I've ever had with Lowe's after 15 years.

    Your tools say lifetime NO HASSLE Warranty. They also say "bring it back to the place of purchase to exchange. **NO QUESTIONS ASKED**" Why is it that your associates, including the head-cashier refuse to do the exchange? Why would Lowe's not honor the no hassle warranty?! I wasted my time, money, and energy. How can your associates be so completely ignorant and inept on the subject of KOBALT tool warranty - This is fundamental to the whole idea of buying Kobalt in the 1st place!

    Just another example of too big, the left hand is a robot and the right hand is in another country. All we want to do is get a small business credit card. We have plenty of money. Because we are an LLC, we all get listed - but I made myself the guarantor (and I have excellent credit). Turned down twice. And no reason to be had until we get a letter over 2 weeks later that does not tell us anything. Guess I'll be going to Home Depot to see if our money is good enough for them. Who has time for all of this?

    About 3 1/2 years ago we bought a house and had Lowe's do the remodel for our kitchen. We spent about 10,000.00. One of the things they did was replace the fluorescent light in our kitchen ceiling with a new fixture which was also bought at Lowe's. Last night it just totally fell out of the ceiling. I have had no luck dealing with this at the store level. Their position is that it has been too long ago. My position is that a light fixture that we paid for them to install should never just fall out of the ceiling. There was obviously a problem with the installation as we have never done anything but turn the light switch off and on. I just got off the phone with the corporate office and they are unable to do anything either. I guess my business will now head off to Home Depot.

    I placed an order for a dishwasher online 3 weeks ago. On 5/21/19 I received an email stating that my delivery was scheduled for 5/24/19 between 8a-8p. I stayed home from work this day since I was given a 12-hour window. At 1p that day I called to check on my delivery and was told that my delivery date had been changed to 5/30/19. I was informed by a Lowe's employee (Tulsa Hills location Tulsa, Ok) that there was no way to track this change or to inform the customer of delivery information since Lowe's is not affiliated with the delivery company.

    On 5/30/19 I called the given 800-810-6102 to check on delivery. The first person I spoke with told me that I needed to be transferred to the store as she is unable to obtain any information since it was an installation product. I was transferred and hung up on. The second call a person transferred me to the Tulsa Hills store to which I was told they were also unable to determine any information regarding my delivery because it was ordered online. I asked to speak with a manager and was transferred to Robert **. Robert informed me that my delivery was once again re-scheduled, even though I have yet to receive any notification of this change, and it is 1p. He was also unable to provide any information regarding the delivery stating that it is an outside company that Lowe's uses for delivery and/or it could be the manufactures' fault. I have never had a worse experience ordering online.

    I will be posting this to all reviews available to me online and to all my social media accounts. Your system is flawed, which the manager also agreed however, stated that he is unable inform your executive leaders. I can only hope this email makes it to someone who can fix this. Your company has wasted two of my work days now. I have cancelled my order. Shame on Lowe's for your poor business practice and lack of responsibility.

    Last August I had a Lowe's contractor install gutters at my house. Lowe's came out to my house, measured and sold me the gutters. They then hired a contractor to install them. They were not installed as per the conversation that I had with the original Lowe's employee and now droop over doorways (blocking one) and leak in several places (coming into the house). I have tried repeatedly to get the issues taken of, and have now even been speaking directly with the Lowe's store manager for about 6 months. Always a promise of someone taking care of the problems. Today a contractor finally called and left a message for me. I work an hour away from home and they expected me to drop everything and fly over to house within 15 minutes....couldn't even be bothered to schedule with me in advance. I am so fed up!!!

    I ordered some lumber and patio pavers to be delivered from the local store, via truck delivery (a $65 charge). Lowe's no longer does its own deliveries; they outsourced that. Order placed Monday. Automated call Monday night says delivery Tuesday morning. Doesn't happen, no call explaining why. Contact the local store, they have no clue, say they'll call me right back... doesn't happen. No delivery at all Tuesday. Tuesday night, get an automated call saying delivery Wednesday morning.

    Wednesday morning, I get an e-mail saying the order was delivered. It wasn't. Call Lowe's 800 number; after an excessive wait on hold, I get... dead air with bouts of static for a minute or two until the rep figures out her headset. More long holds while she calls the store and XPO to figure out what's going on. Finally, I'm told my order will be there within the hour. Two and a half hours later, just as I'm calling the Lowe's executive line, the truck finally arrives. No warning, no call half an hour beforehand as promised by the evening setup call; just a semi-trailer blocking the road. No apologies, either.

    Lowe's lies to its customers: about calling back, about being on time, about being delivered... it's inexcusable. It doesn't matter that much of this was due to the outsourced company. Lowe's chose to outsource, they chose XPO, and they're the customer point of contact. XPO is acting on Lowe's behalf; it's on Lowe's to make sure the experience is good. I searched the Web and found that my experience is far from unique. Since Lowe's started outsourcing truck delivery to XPO, it seems like this sort of thing has become the normal experience. If I'd know that, I would never have paid $65 for two days of stress. Lowe's used to be so much better than Home Depot. In the last few years, it's become so much worse.

    Well, it's time I said something. I purchased an expensive dishwasher as a floor model in 2015. A 1600.00 KitchenAid I got for 800.00. I'd asked if there was anything wrong with it, and was told "no, just had been on display". On delivery, I noted a crushed in rear left frame and roller wheel. I called and he said, "Oh..yeah, it was dropped, but you can just put a screw into that." So I did. Then we had problems with it not cleaning and restarting issues. All needed service calls, only the first under warranty.

    A bunch of things needed replacing, because...it had been dropped. Now, finally, after the door support has been changed once and broken again, I pulled it out and see the rest of the underframe was also completely crushed and deformed, leading to excess tension on the restrictor, and the door having been weakened and now unaligned. Basically, we are getting a new one, this is junk, and I will never shop at Lowe's again. Beware when they are trying to unload something.

    I ordered a new refrigerator that was delivered damaged and the delivery drivers told me it will take three days to get a new one delivered. I told them that was unacceptable. I called the store just to be passed around from person to person and no one knew anything. The store manager had already left for the day so I wanted the district manager's name and number, the asst. manager said she didn't know what his name or number was. If I was the store manager {and I have been, of a major retailer} and my assistants were this incompetent I would never leave the store until my staff was fully trained or I had new assistant managers. I have boycotted Home Depot for over 30 plus years for poor service, it looks like I will have to start boycotting Lowe's and go back to Home Depot.

    Recently tried to buy a Husqvarna riding lawn mower. We found a sale in one store, but were told they did not have it in stock as it was a "non stock" (clearance) item. Went to another store that did have the same item, yes it was "non stock" there as well, but they were only willing to give the current sale price, not the clearance price. Contacted customer service and was told, that yes they were supposed to honor the clearance price from the other store. Gave them the details. When all was said and done, they refused to honor the sale price due to the first store not having it in stock.

    Ummm why would I be shopping around if the first store had the item I was looking for? They lost $2000 in sales today, plus all future sales (we own our own home and do our own repair work) for a lousy $400. Not good business in my book. I even told them I would be shopping at Home Depot from now on, and they didn't care. Totally disgusted and will no longer shop there.

    Let me start by saying I am a loyal Lowe’s customer. We have had Lowe’s provide a complete kitchen upgrade including multiple appliances and will soon be having Lowe’s replace siding and windows on the house. So far, I am very pleased with Lowe's products and services and would highly recommend you to others. My refrigerator issue is the one outstanding exception. We purchased the unit as part of a kitchen upgrade along with a Samsung stove and dishwasher, which are working well. The refrigerator has had numerous problems over the last 12 months and is in warranty until Feb 2021. So far, the following has been replaced, or in the process of being replaced: Evaporator cover (twice), Fan kit, Drain kit, Heater assembly (twice), Ice maker, Ice make auger motor, Main PC Board, Defrost sensor.

    This unit simply will not properly defrost, and the result is in damage to other components as well as food loss and loss of a working refrigerator for a total of 32 days to date. I have formally asked for a replacement, but was told there were only 3 calls for the same issue and policy requires 4 calls before replacement can be considered. I can assure you there will be numerous additional calls. There were many times when I attempted to resolve the issue myself and patiently waited before calling for support. This will no longer happen and I expect the food loss alone would justify the cost of providing a replacement unit, never mind the cost of the components listed above. Can we please save us both a lot of wasted time and money over the next few months and just replace the unit?

    I purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator, LGHT2046QF, and the 3-yr extended warranty for a total price of $1147.03, July 2016 at Lowe's, Davenport IA. It ran fine for the first 2 1/2 years, but then required repeated manual defrosting due to icing in the freezer that caused the lower fridge to get warm- every 2 weeks at first, then every 2 days, and then came the chemical odor, weak at first, then reeked so bad I had to scoot it outside and dispose dispose all the food (about $400 worth). My poor spaniel had vomited and couldn't breathe. I was nauseous, had a headache, sore throat and lungs, and my son has been sick with sinus congestion as well. My taste buds are still not right.

    Repairmen had serviced it twice prior to the leakage detection, but only made minor adjustments and defrosted the freezer. My 3 year extended warranty expires this July and Lowe's has refused to honor the warranty at this point because the fridge was placed next to the stove (same spot prior fridges sat since the 1950s, none of which died before 3 years). When Lowe's accepted my payment for this purchase, they did not advise me that their warranty would not be honored if the fridge was placed next to a stove, nor did the deliverymen advise me the warranty would not be honored when THEY PLACED IT NEXT TO MY STOVE. I have since been told by salesmen at other stores that placing a fridge next to a stove is not a problem.

    I had to replace an old fence and deck, where a large amount of vegetation had grown up around this area over the course of 20 years. I had gotten three estimates, all were similar in price. Lowe’s was just a little higher before I used the 5 percent discount. I went with Lowe’s (West Stone Drive, Kingsport TN) because it was obvious the person they sent out was very knowledgeable, (and efficient, gave me an estimate the same day), and he (Bennie) called the perfect contractors for my needs.

    Bennie brought Jason out to see the site. Jason indicates they could do what other contractors hesitated on, and complete it in a week-from start. They started earlier than promised, arrived on time every day, and had such an amazing crew. They completed the job in 3 days!! (One estimator told me 3 weeks!) In that time, Bennie followed the job and quickly helped on one troublesome area (due to the lay of the lay of the land), modified to suit my taste - it was not an issue for him or the contractors (All American Home Improvement) since Bennie responded so quick. I was just in awe of all these guys!

    I recently moved to South Carolina out of Columbia. I purchased a riding lawn mower online and the Sam's Crossing Lowe's location came up so I used this store. The mower was delivered in the afternoon and the next day when I started mowing my lawn, the belt popped off of the pulleys. I hadn't been on the mower 15-20 minutes. Keep in mind that I had only had this mower for a day and a half. So of course I called the store and was put on hold for what felt like an eternity. This was to be the routine for this store. Hold, wait, hold, wait some more, get transferred to every department in the place and never to the correct one.

    In the span of nearly a week I spent hours on the phone with Lowe's either holding or being transferred. I finally got in touch with someone in the mower department (I guess). This guy was either as dumb as a bag of hair, poorly trained or not trained at all OR, he didn't care about his job. I explained what had happened to the mower after only having it a day and a half and this is what he told me. I am not quoting him but you will get the idea. He told me that I would have to take the mower to a dealer to get it fixed. He said that Lowe's won't do anything about it and they are not responsible for it.

    I am a home owner and recently moved from Florida and I have spent thousands of dollars at Lowe's. I know their return policy and it's thirty days from day of purchase. For this employee to tell me to take the broken TWO DAY OLD mower to a dealer was laughable. We went around and around about this. The guy puts me on hold to talk to his 'manager'. The first hold was brief but the second hold was so long I think he must have gone to lunch. He comes back on the phone and tells me his manager said I had to take the mower to a dealer. That was it for me. I hung up the phone and called back to the store and asked to speak to a manager.

    I get Travis on the phone. Manager on duty. I explain what happened to the mower and what happened on the phone between me and the bag of hair I had been talking to. Travis apologized and said that the employee was new. Oh really? So this is how you train your employees? You train them to dismiss Lowe's thirty day policy and leave the customer stuck with taking care of issues on their own? Nah. So Travis promised me he would have the mower picked up and refund my money. Never heard from Travis again. Next day I called back to the store and this time talked to a manager named Joe. Same song and dance, same results. None. Never heard from Joe either. I call back another time and got someone named Chris. Same thing. Nadda.

    I called back and got routed to corporate. Wow. Must have been a glitch in the matrix. I talk to Timothy from the corporate delivery department. He writes up an invoice to pick up the mower from my house. He said this action will create a paper trail and the store will HAVE to act upon it. Well they did but it was a hot mess. Instead of the invoice being for a pickup it was actually for a delivery. Shaking my head until my eyeballs pop out. I get several 'robo' calls from Lowe's advising me that my mower will be delivered soon. I didn't ASK for a delivery. I ASKED for a pickup. In the meanwhile I had ordered a riding mower from a dealer.

    Suddenly on a Friday afternoon, a delivery driver from Lowe's shows up and takes the broken mower away. Awesome. Now to get my refund. All day Saturday I receive 'robo' calls telling me that my mower will be delivered. What mower??? I call the store for the one hundredth time and tell them I did not order a mower. No one in that entire store knows what they are doing. They have made it very clear.

    Sunday morning around 9 am, a big Enterprise truck pulls up in front of my house. Driver gets out and says he's here to pick up a mower. I'm like wtf. Seriously? I mean, SERIOUSLY? He points at my brand new mower from the John Deere dealership and says, "I'm here to pick up that mower". LOLOLOLOL!!!! Oh HELL no you are NOT. I explained to him about the mower **, he apologizes and leaves.

    I am at a total loss about why no one in that store knows what is going on there. I went online and began reading reviews about Sam's Crossing Lowe's and there are many many negative reviews. Guess what about? The absent of customer service and/or very poor customer service. As much as I disliked living in central Florida I can actually say that the Lowe's in Kissimmee is an excellent store. I have never had any issues with buying anything nor returning anything. I was told by a local resident that the reason why the Lowe's I had dealt with is so bad is because the employee turnover is high. No one seems to know why but you can bet there is a good reason. I won't ever shop there again but I WILL continue to buy from Lowe's. Just not that particular store.

    I've been a Lowe's customer for 30+ years and in several different states. These comments are made about the good people in the Regency Square Lowe's (store 0503). The people who work at this store are very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Given this, if I were to pick an All-Star team the two most valuable players would be Sandy in Electrical and Richard in Plumbing. Then the Rookie of the Year would be Joseph in the Door and Window area. Not sure how he got so smart so quick, but he is very very good.

    As for the MVPs, Sandy has a wealth of knowledge of his area in electric and made a number of suggestions relative lighting in our home remodel that produced excellent results. Not only does he have complete knowledge of his area, but also the whole store. The same goes for Richard in Plumbing. He is excellent. I recently had double sink fixtures in the master bathroom with minor leaks I couldn't figure out why. After several troubleshooting questions, he suggested removing the aerators from the faucets. Leaks were eliminated. The faucets were slightly obstructed due to material in the line from a defective water softener. I soaked the aerators in vinegar for several days and reinstalled them and they work perfectly without a plumbing bill.

    If you have a problem in their area and explain it to either Richard or Sandy their advice and suggestions are excellent. The other thing that I appreciate, is when they are working with a customer their focus is completely on that person. Kudos to these three gentlemen as well as the entire staff at this store. My full house nine month rehab is complete and the house just sold in two weeks with two full price offers on the same day.

    Although I frequently visit Lowe's for everyday purchases, my recent appliance purchase has been disappointing. I ordered a washer and dryer online and received a confirmation email. The delivery window was 12 hours, 8 am to 8 pm and there was no method to narrow this time. I did not get a call or any other message the day before for confirmation. The day of the delivery no one came and no one called. The next day I called the store but the phones were down for several hours in the morning. Later I got through and the person I spoke with was courteous but took a long time to figure things out. He finally indicated that their driver had become sick and went home early. He apologized for the lack of a call. The delivery was rescheduled for the following week.

    A few days before the delivery my credit card company sent me an alert that another $2K charge was put through. I tried calling Lowe's and the operator could not get someone to answer in that department. Therefore I tried online but apparently one must have a MyLowes account to get information on their order. This whole process has been far too complicated and I certainly won't be making another purchase of this type from Lowe's, especially since there are so many other options available. A month earlier I made an online dishwasher purchase from a competing store and the whole process went smoothly.

    I will never, ever purchase appliances from LOWE’S again. Their inventory control, communication and credit systems are impossible to deal with!!! My local store did not have the washer and dryer I wanted to purchase so the sales rep contacted a store nearby to verify they had the appliances in stock and suggested I could order online directly from that store. I did and received a confirmation. Next day that store called to say they did not have the washer and forwarded the order to a 3rd store. Received a window for delivery, then got a call that my Lowe’s credit card had been flagged. Turns out the purchase had been put through multiple times. No one at any store, or Lowe’s credit card was capable of correcting the situation. Finally cancelled the order. Time to shop local!!!

    I tried to order online last year and got so crazy with the sight and had to call in. Lowe's is fine if you go to the store. A couple of weeks ago I purchased patio furniture of course the website was unfriendly so I called the store. The first person did not understand the no interest plan. Finally I got a gentleman the knew what he and I were talking about and my order went through. The items were put together and delivered. The fellows were awesome. I had a deck box that was not due in until May 27 but came in early. I received a call that it was in and just go to the store to pick up.

    I called and spoke to a woman who I asked to have it put together and she gladly helped and credited my charge card. She said it would be ready May 18 so today I called and got I would say a number for all Lowe's. I explained what I had ordered and finally he asked what store. I told him Danbury and he put me in touch with the store who said it was all together and ready for pick up. I even have a voice message on my phone. When I got there there was not a deck box together the woman in customer service was everything but courteous. It was like a bunch of uninformed people. Someone came up to the desk and said we will look for it. Of course never came back and sassy gray hair woman never looked at me again.

    Finally a gentleman called to me and said the box would not be ready until May 21. I said "credit my account and I will bring it home. I don't know how easy it will be to put it together but I will try to find someone." The best part twice I have been asked to do a review and after I wait and the recording starts it hangs up. Terrible customer service. Like I said go in the store get what you need but don't torture yourself trying to order online. I also tried the Derby store for online and it was just as bad but they at least were much nicer. Bad experience at Lowe's today.

    Purchased two exterior doors from Lowe's on 02/04/2019. The Patio exterior door was defective and the storm door was also damaged. This damage was pointed out to the installer. I went to Lowe's and complained about the damage. Talked with Mgr. Delmar. He advised I try to push the defective piece in or tap with a hammer. This was not possible. This door has glass in it. I called Customer Care numerous times. Talked with Kerry ** in Lowe's Store Mill Work, who coordinated this purchase and install. I have sent emails with photos to numerous individuals as requested with no satisfaction.

    Kerry was sent emails with photos as well. I am told over and over again we will resolve it. Sent emails and photo to Jennifer **. Never received a response. Shay from claims on (4/19/19) had the request for resolution. Couldn't help. Passed it off to Ashley in North Carolina. Ashley worked the problem since April 17, 2019. Telephone number.

I went into the store again on May 7, 2019. No luck speaking with a manager or Angie.

    Contacted Customer Support Again and finally someone documented the problem. It is also my understanding now that the Patio Door will not be warranted by the vendor as the door was not painted due to the damage. So I have two new doors that are both damaged and out of warranty. $853.72. I could have purchased used doors? This is an absolute disgrace.

    We are getting started on a kitchen reno. Towards that end I would require some new appliances. I had gone to Lowe's to purchase these appliances first and had delivery set for Friday morning. Lowes showed up for delivery and upon bringing my new 33" square refrigerator inside our home declared that it would not fit up the 36" wide hallway with 5 steps. Then they asked if I wanted the 24" wide dishwasher delivered. I respectfully declined.

    The delivery personnel were third party contractors and I guess more suited to delivering bricks and wood and not furniture or appliances. They did not even have a fridge mover dolly with them, just a small home owner type big tire hand truck. So needless to say I was very disappointed and realized my error of trying to buy appliances at a home improvement store. I spoke with the manager at Lowes but the only suggestion that seemed workable for him was for me to hire my own people off of Kijiji, get a receipt and he would gladly reimburse me.

    So Friday afternoon I found myself at The Brick purchasing the same fridge and dishwasher. Great people to deal with, even took the time to explain the features of the new appliances to me as I had not been properly educated at Lowes. My new appliances were delivered on Sunday without incident by people who knew what they were doing and very experienced. They did not even need a fridge dolly as they simply put straps under the bottom of the refrigerator and picked the fridge up and carried it upright, up the stairs, and placed it against the wall. Very strong young men indeed. So moral of this little story is, don't buy appliances and furniture for that matter at a lumber store. Buy your appliances and furniture at the proper store that handles these things all the time and has capable people.

    I will preface my experiences at Lowe's with a little background. My friends own 6 properties and I take care of all the projects for them. I always LIKED Lowe's and any project I was working on I would send them there to pick up materials with exactly what I wanted. They had a fire in their home last August so I had a lot to work on. I had them purchase the items and would have them get extra just in case so I would not have to stop in the middle of a project. I would return items not needed, didn't have receipts and I was getting something else so I would always get a store credit and go get what I needed so I didnt have to use my cash.

    Their house had all new kitchen, bathrooms. flooring and fixtures and electrical. I was the one that preferred Lowe's, they preferred Home Depot. Well Lowe's got the lion's share of this project because of me, to the tune of $12 - 14k. I have many more projects. I had my friend pick up all her supplies at Lowe's to help her with her fence. I am supposed to pick up $1200 in other supplies this week and unfortunately I WILL NO LONGER SHOP AT LOWE'S OR SUGGEST ANY PRODUCTS unless absolutely necessary. Because I make it convenient for me with them picking up extra items it saves me time having to wait for them to pick things up. Lowe's has now put me on their naughty list so I cannot return ANYTHING without a receipt.

    So now the straw that caused Lowe's to lose ALL of my business personally as well as any friends projects I work on. I will not let them get materials from Lowe's and I tell them what I will work with and what I won't. I was renting one of the units and running to get lease signed and deliver keys. I stop in Lowe's and use the minute key kiosk to make 4 copies each of 2 different keys. I put in the first key, paid for the 4 copies and then did the same with the second. I deliver the keys with the lease to the new tenant. Today they arrived at the condo with the moving company and NOT ONE key would work. While the keys appeared to match perfectly, the blanks on BOTH keys were too thick and do not even fit in the locks. I ran to Home Depot and had 8 keys made and delivered them, all working.

    I left and went to return the 8 keys to Lowe's. Well, minute key does not give a receipts unless you have them email it. I spent about 45 min only to have Lowe's finally tell me there is nothing I can do because I dont have the receipt even though I showed the charge on my card. They told me I needed to call their offices, leave a message and they would get back to me in 24 hours. Lowe's has done everything possible to alienate me from shopping with them and penalizes me for actually sending them more business. This week alone Home Depot will pick up $1200 that WAS going to Lowe's. Alienated former Lowe's customer.

    We purchased our fence in February. Lowe's had to order parts so installation didn't begin until April 3. The installer left trash in our yard for several days until we contacted Lowe's to have them clean it up. We were told the installation would be complete by the weekend. The weekend came and went with trash in our yard and an incomplete installation. We were told there was a broken gate and one would have to be ordered to replace it. The installers disappeared. We were told the gate and the missing fencepost caps had arrived at the store April 9 but our project coordinator wasn't responding to us to answer when we should expect the installer to come finish the job. After 2 more weeks asking for an update, we were assured the job would be completed in a few days.

    Nothing happened again and we were assigned a new project manager. He was responsive but it only frustrated us more because he promised us the job would be complete on multiple occasions with no activity. Today we were told the parts should arrive by May 20 but we have no confidence after being told on 5 or 6 previous occasions the job would be completed only to be disappointed. I did my part. I paid almost $5k in full up front amd provided plot drawings. Betweem Lowe's and their installer we have been nothing but disappointed. We would not recommend.

    I purchased a whirlpool WHES48 water softener online, picked it up at the store, and asked to have a lowes installation. I pre-paid $40 for the plumber to come to my house to assess the job. This should happen within 5 business days. Three weeks later, I phone to find out where the plumber was. "Oh, they didn't give me the paperwork" Lowes install said. I was contacted two days later, the plumber came over to assess the job. After receiving the quote, I was told I had to drive to the store to pre-pay. Can't I pay for this over the phone or online, I asked? No, you have to come in (I live outside the city). Then I had to schedule the plumber again. I was phoned the morning of the install to ask if I had the 'lines'? I said I had the lines in the installation kit, in the bag that came with the product. The plumber then arrived, asked for the 'flex lines'!? I didn't know I needed flex lines, I said. He dug around in his van and found things the 'would work'.

    After the install, Lowes called again to charge me a further $62 for the 'flex line' parts (the plumber didn't install flex lines, but I just wanted this to end). They then called again to find out how my installation had gone. Seriously. It took one month after I had initially bought it to have it installed. What a nightmare! Should have just called my own plumber and had it installed in days.

    Picked up this “easy install” project from Lowe's. Yes this should be an easy install. Took the time to remove wall studs and reset them to be level. Installed back panel with the 3 ulocks and you can physically see the bow in the back panel. Mind you waited 10 days for special order of the product. Set side wall in place to see if 3 tiny ulock plastic clips would somehow pull the center of a 85” tall 1.5” thick piece of fiberglass back into place. Not a chance! Removed walls and tried shimming behind corner in center of panel to force back into place. Still 1/4 inch gap in middle of panel.

    Called company, first guy Alan, blew up on me saying that I need to measure the bow in the panel. I asked to speak to supervisor and got hung up on. Called back and second guy more helpful. Told me to submit pictures and serial numbers. Thankfully still had the box. Submitted info and was told to call back in 1 hour. I called back and they said they hasn’t received the pictures, after opening their emails they miraculously found the 2 emails they asked for. Guy told me that the predrilled holes were not properly drilled so the ulock system is connecting properly (joke, mind you) and also said it was a manufacture defect before taking his words back when I questioned how it wasn’t a manufacture defect when the panels come predrilled. The panel is so obviously bowed. It's insane.

    This guy then transferred me to another guy who told me that I should remove the panel and out some counterweight like a bag of concrete on the back side of the panel to try to bend it back into place. This is not a joke people, this is what their “technical support” team is advising customers to do after dropping a grand on 2 shower panels. I refused to do this and no I am being told to remove the panel and put a level on the panel to show the bow and resubmit pictures. 3 different phone calls and three different solutions of which none benefit me. They will try to pass you off over and over again. Buy any other product than this, it looks nice in the store but that’s where it ends and I knew I was screwed once I got on this site and saw the reviews.

I was originally schedule for Wed. 5/1/19 between 2:30pm-6-30pm. I was in the property @ 2pm. I waited till 6:15pm, called Lowe's delivery at 321-267-9221 to follow-up, I was told to call 855-825-3538 (XPO Logistic for Lowe's) and they said they'll get back to me. After 7pm, their driver calls me to tell me that they will not be able to arrive until another 1 1/2 to two hours later; thus I re-scheduled for Friday 5/3/19. AGAIN, I was given the time slot of 2:30-6:30pm. AGAIN, I was at the property waiting at 2pm. AGAIN, I have NOT received half hour heads-up call from driver by 5:45pm.

    DUE to disappointing experience on Wednesday, I called 855-825-3538 to follow-up, only to hear that they can't assist me until my delivery slot is over at 6:30pm. At 6:06pm, the driver calls me to tell me AGAIN that the delivery is going to take two hours to arrive, however this time I said "I WILL WAIT FOR THE SHIPMENT." 2 1/2 hours later at 8:36pm, NO HALF HOUR HEADS-UP CALL. I called the driver's number to see how far along is he from the property, no one answered my call. Therefore I called Lowe's delivery at 321-267-9221, I was refer to 833-211-5388 (delivery dispatch).

    By this time around 9pm, I called and was told by this central dispatch that my order WILL NOT BE delivered tonight after having WAITED FOR SEVEN HOURS ON A SECOND DAY. I asked to speak to the supervisor and was told he was gone for the day. At this point I refused to hang up and somehow a person stepped forward to speak to me as a supervisor and told me that there was a glitch in communication at their end and completely agreed that someone should have called to inform the customer that there wouldn't be a delivery.

    FURTHERMORE, next morning Saturday (today), May 4, 2019, 7:10:40 AM EDT, I received an email from Lowe's stating that my items has been delivered when in fact my shipment has NEVER ARRIVED, MUCH LESS BEEN DELIVERED!!! I called Lowe's 321-267-9221 this morning to let them know that I NEVER RECEIVED this delivery. When asked for Manager, I was told "manager is on vacation"; I thought it was a joke.

The pallet of redwood is on the 2nd bunk up from the floor, no way can you make a selection from the floor, it's about 5 and a half feet up. I ask the person working in the lumber department to bring it down to the floor with a forklift sitting just feet away. He refused, and tried to hand some to me. Which is very cumbersome, and awkward. I'm very offended. That this store wouldnt make the redwood accessible to me, whatever reason. So this isnt the 1st time this has happened.

I called again and was told the same story of holding on and then return has been processed. How many times can you process the same refund in the system? It simply means no refund has ever been processed. I am at my wit's end. I have even been told my query has been escalated to senior management and to expect a call within 24 hours and as usual it turns out to be a lie.

Never received the call the night before to confirm delivery window. Called Friday evening to find they closed. Called in the morning on 4/20 for a 7th time. They offered to reschedule the delivery for 4/21. I said no, it was a holiday, and I have already rearranged my schedule too many times to accommodate deliveries that don't happen. She looked into my order notes, and she stated "your case is the worst I've ever seen." She said she would put in an emergency delivery request to have them delivered on 4/20.

    I spoke with the delivery manager of the store who said she would call me back in 10-15 minutes with the delivery window time and "GUARANTEED" me delivery on 4/20. Spoke with another supervisor and was apologized to about all the computer "glitches." NEVER received the call back from the delivery manager, but instead received a call back HOURS later by a different person named Juan, who said they cannot deliver the washer/dryer until tomorrow. I said, "No thank you" and asked to have my order cancelled - I would order the appliances at Home Depot. He offered his personal cell number to me (what the heck am I going to do with THAT?!) and stated "if you order from another place, you'll just end up waiting a week or longer for delivery anyway."

    My response to that smart comment of his, was "I would rather wait 1 more week for appliances that are actually going to be delivered!" He said he would cancel the order. He called me back later stating the order was cancelled. In all, I received $875 in appeasement for all my hard work of trying to get appliances delivered, spending over 7 hours of my time on hold each time I called and speaking with a different manager, representative and supervisor and my refund for the dryer I was charged for but never received. I ordered my washer/dryer on Home Depot's website on 4/21 and received BOTH appliances in a VERY timely manner on 4/25 (less than the 1 week + Juan estimated it would be).

    Long story short, I would not recommend using Lowe's for anything that requires delivery. I know all these places use 3rd parties for delivery, but somehow, Home Depot didn't have an issue. I hope Lowe's learns a few things from this experience so no one else has this problem: 1. FIX your "computer glitches" - if that truly was the problem. 2. COMMUNICATE with your customers - if deliveries get cancelled, please call the customer directly to let them know. It's super rude to have them wait around all day and not receive their order.

    3. UNDERSTAND that customers re-arrange their days to be home during the window time-frame for deliveries (as a nurse, I had to take time from work and my patients to be home and to be on the phone during your work hours to deal with this - it's not fair to me OR my patients!!!) 4. 7+ hours on the phone and the amount of phone calls I had to make should NEVER happen to ANY customer. Yes, I received $875 in appeasement for my time and effort, but as a new home owner who just moved, this is unnecessary added stress. Thank you.

    Went to Lowe's 4/24/2019 at Lebanon Missouri to purchase a dishwasher and an air conditioner while a tax free day was in effect. A/C was clearly marked $499 but when I got to the register it for some strange reason jumped to $549 plus it suddenly did not qualify for tax free day (wonder where the tax would have gone?). I let them keep the A/C. I did purchase the dishwasher and had to make them give me the tax off although they acted like it irritated them and on top of that I used my Lowe's card but they wouldn't give me the %5 discount. A total waste of time, I'll go elsewhere.

    So I was looking to buy a combo kit for DeWalt cordless And I found a set on the floor. It had a price tag of $249. There was a five piece kit and a four piece kit right next to each other with the same price so I ask a sales associate about them and he said yup that’s the price of it so I grab the box and bring it up to the register. But when the cashier want to bring it out it was $399 and I explain to her that it was for 249. So the same guy came over to me and said, "Oh there’s nothing I can do". It was in the wrong area. Well I asked him. That’s not my problem. That’s the only reason why I was going to buy the set because it was on sale. They didn’t even do anything to help me take a percentage off the price or anything. Very very poor customer satisfaction and this was the Lowe’s in Hadley Mass.

    My husband and I (empty-nesters) purchased granite kitchen countertops from Lowe’s several years ago. Almost immediately, we began seeing chips - on both the edges and flat surfaces (some very significant in size). Lowe’s directed us to the granite supplier, and the supplier back to Lowe's. Emails to Lowe’s received no response. Efforts by either party to resolve concerns were non-existent. Additionally the tile backsplash, also purchased and installed through them at the same time has had issues, with the grout totally deteriorating between the backsplash and countertop. Considering the amount we spent, I am definitely a dissatisfied consumer. We will not use Lowe’s for future home improvement projects.

    We purchased a refrigerator from Lowe's in Woodstock GA on 4/11/19. It was set for delivery on 4/17/19. That was the earliest time they had available. When the delivery guys arrived, they pointed out some small damage to the refrigerator door. I was at work so my son called me to tell me. I told him that I didn't want a damaged refrigerator since we paid the asking price for it. It was not an 'as is' item. He called Lowe's Woodstock to see if they had more of that model. Canton showed two. However, they weren't actually in stock.

    My son asked them if they still had the floor model. He was told that they do not sell the floor models. When I returned home from work that evening we headed out to Lowe's for a resolution. The manager could not have been less helpful nor was he concerned about the situation. My son went in search of the floor model and it was not there. He asked the manager where it was and the manager advised they had SOLD IT. I thought they didn't sell the floor models! This model was being discontinued so we could not wait for more to come in. My son assured me that the damage to the one that was brought to our house earlier that day was minimal and once the handles were installed it would most likely hide the small dent. My son asked for a 20% discount due to all of the frustration and they did agree to that.

    The refrigerator was redelivered the next day. The delivery guys said they could not install it for us, because it sits up on a ledge that is about 4 inches high between two cabinets. Again we call Lowe's to have someone come out to install the refrigerator. They advised that their guys could not do it and told us to contact Porch.com. We did. They said THEY could not bring it up from our garage or install it on the slightly elevated platform. Apparently you can only have a refrigerator delivered and installed if you live in a ranch style home with no stairs up to the house. Please explain to me how a home improvement store that has contractors that do entire kitchen remodels cannot simply install a new refrigerator. We have now been without a refrigerator for TWO WEEKS! My only option right now is to plug it in where it sits in the garage. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Hello, I would like to share my annoyance and disappointment with my dealings with the local Lowe's. I bought a Samsung dishwasher and installed it myself. It worked great for 3 months but then dishes were left dirty in the top rack, it seemed to be throwing the dirty water around and leaving food in tall glasses especially. I called samsung to try and use the warranty but apparently because I installed it, this makes it so you could not use the warranty, which Lowe's did not mention at all during the purchase!!

    Called Samsung again and apparently, I need to get a Lowe's worker to come and sign off on the installation which they want around 180$ for this...ridiculous as this should be a very fast process. But whatever gave in and set up appointment and paid the fee. My father disconnected the dishwasher to take a look while we were waiting as well. Well today was the day of the appointment and they don't even show up. I had to get someone to actually sit at my home 12-5 today as I work, and no one shows up, not even a call.

    I called Lowe's around 5 and did not even get a real apology, just we don't know what happend you will be called a different day to reschedule goodbye. I felt the worker was very short brief and a little rude. So now I still have a unhooked dishwasher, and have to wait for an entirely new appointment to be made and get someone to be at the house again for this. This whole experience has been a waste of time and I will not be recommending this location in the future.

    I wanted to have my vinyl kitchen floor tiled and three years after purchasing 12 boxes of tiles from Lowe's, I decided not to do it myself. The easiest thing seemed to have Lowe's do it for me. Boy, was I ever wrong! Their entire process seems to be flawed beyond belief. First, someone came to my house and took all the appropriate measurements without giving me much of a chance to provide any input. Then, four days later I was contacted by my local Lowe's store to come in and look at the estimate. Well, the estimate was what I considered to be astronomical in light of what needed to be done and even though I specifically told them I had already purchased the tile myself, the estimate involved a fee for oversize tiles that I'd never even mentioned.

    I was able to talk to the people in the store and got the estimate reduced by $300.00, and was then told I'd be contacted by someone soon to arrange a time for the work to begin. FIVE DAYS LATER, I still hadn't heard from anyone about scheduling the work, although I did get a phone call giving me a toll-free number for any questions. When I did call that number, the menu was very confusing and after I just hit "0" for the operator, I had to wait ten minutes to talk to someone. I was told that there was some problem with my work order, but he couldn't tell me what it was and that he'd call the store to find out. After waiting another 10 minutes, I discovered that there was a question regarding my revised estimate AND the guy told me that they couldn't do anything since I didn't purchase any tile!

    I emphasized that over and over again I'd told the people I'd talked to that I had 12 boxes of tile that were ready to go but no one had notated that on the work order. I then asked the question: So, if I hadn't called you myself, how long would I have to wait before anyone contacted me? I couldn't get an answer but was told that I'd be contacted soon about this. Five more days went by without a word and today I went to my local store and cancelled everything.

    I wanted to have this done to surprise my wife who works overseas and was told along the way that I'd have it done before she returned. HA! I'll still use my local Lowe's to purchase things but I'll NEVER even consider having them install anything. It seems to me that this could have been done without any hassle whatsoever, but the process of sending out someone to make an estimate that I didn't see until days later and then having things go through a central office who had to work with a sub-contractor who evidently lives over 60 miles away is just ridiculous. I certainly learned a lesson.

    I originally went to Lowe’s on Jordan Creek Parkway on Sunday in Des Moines, IA to buy a mower we have been researching for a couple weeks. They were out of the 52 inch Ariens that we wanted so that sales associate told us to go to the Lowe’s on 50th St. in Des Moines IA. He said they have them in stock there. We arrive at the 50th St. Lowe’s. After waiting almost 30 minutes to even find someone in the mowers area we get Willie. I had a couple questions about the Lowe's card but since we already knew what mower we were getting, he looked it up and said they had two in stock and asked if we needed it today? We said yes.

    He said multiple times, that’s no problem. He can go back and assemble it. We checked out, and then Willie says come back a little before 6 PM to pick it up, on our way back to the store Willie calls and says that he wasn’t able to get the mower assembled. I said, "You told me multiple times that you would have it done today, we are now three minutes away from the store with our truck and trailer for the second time today." He said, "I’ll see what I can do."

    We get to the store, I walk in and find Willie walking around straightening shelves. He wasn’t in the back assembling it. He never even tried to get it assembled. I ask him if we can just take it and assemble it ourselves. He said no, it has to be uncrated and inspected first. I said, "OK then. When can you have it done?" He said Wednesday. WEDNESDAY?!?! Why on earth would you tell a customer multiple times you will have it done today, when now you are now saying three days later?

    At this point I am beyond frustrated and I walk up to customer service and ask to talk to Willie’s manager. I tell him the whole issue with Willie. He says he will have it rushed and have one of his guys put it together tomorrow and we can pick it up after 4 PM. I arrive the next day with our truck and trailer, again. The lady who helped us in the mower department I think her name was Jackie, she was very helpful. At first they can’t find our mower. They say it’s not assembled. I tell her the whole story that happened yesterday. She looks up the mower. They put it under the wrong name. Go figure! She then has to call another manager over to now “steal” it from this customer. What a mess! I would NOT recommend buying a mower from Lowe's ever! It was a disaster that just kept getting worse.

    I like Lowe's products but I am surprised that they do not have the contracted resources available for their required customer "installation services". Their contracts state that they will provide the customer with professional services that may at times be noisy but they will not install their products if there are structural issues involved. Since they have to, service people who live in older and newer homes and allow custom orders and trim and molding installation services they must at times have issues regarding structural adjustments for doors, windows, and floors.

    The company does not specifically write that new or old homes without electricity do not qualify for their services but their installation company Legacy states that Lowe's does not provide free generator use for their installers and that it is acceptable to ask a neighbor to use their home outlets for electricity service when installing their neighbor's purchased products.

    Any home that is in need of new or replacement doors and windows is not secure enough to spend $1,000 installing new electricity and plumbing lines, and the company's subtle maneuvering around providing less help to people with less, wealth, fame, or popularity may make them liable for property theft and/or neglect issues because their customer's home are not secured quickly with the home security products that they are buying from the company. Since Lowe's agreed to compete with Home Depot to provide certain products and services to their shoppers which may qualify them, for special advertising, import, tax, an/or insurance discounts, they should be required to spend the money to hire dependable local handymen and provide them with tools and resources to allow them to get their job completed correctly after an item is purchased.

    Do NOT I repeat do not waste your money to get doors installed through Lowe's. I have never been more disappointed and mad about an install experience. We spent thousands of dollars on custom office doors and it was a complete nightmare. First, they didn’t deliver the door jamb so they couldn’t install the day they were supposed to, it was delivered later that day after they “found” it in the back room. The door jamb they delivered was too big so the doors had a huge gap between them. They wouldn’t let the installer do anything to fix it (since it would void the warranty) so I waited another week for a new jamb to come, it finally came and this one was too small and the doors wouldn’t shut. I told them this needed to be completed that day since my house has been under construction and I have two small kids.

    After our installer worked until 5:30pm he ended up needing more trim. Once he arrived the next day 1.5 hours later than he said he would be there, he realized he bought the wrong trim and needed to go back to Lowe's and get more. He was gone for another 2.5 hours due to the Lowes not having the right size. After he came back he finished the install of the doors, he then informed me that he isn’t supposed to do any touch ups of the door/paint the door or anything according to Lowe's. I am sorry but seriously!? What person in their right mind would be ok with just having the doors installed and not having a finished product? My husband now has to paint the doors since they do not match the white paint and have marks on them. This has been a complete nightmare, I will never ever ever recommend Lowe's to anyone ever, I will go out of my way to tell people not to use Lowe's. Do not waste your money or time.

    Finally I called Lowe's on the day of Delivery about 2pm and immediately realized they had no plans of delivering my stove that day, they seemed completely unconcerned that I took time off from work due to the appointment they set. I was rescheduled for the following Tuesday, April 23, 2019, this time I did receive an confirmation email the day prior. The following morning I receive a call that the delivery driver was a no show and that my stove could not be delivered, until Saturday, April 27th. This entire process could not be any more irritating, the casualness in which Lowe's misses and reschedules appointments on paying customers with no concern over their time, or need for their product is the worst part. I noticed from several other reviews here that I'm not alone in my frustration. They have offered a discount that I can not receive until the stove is in my home, we'll see if that ever happens.

Once again they refuse to replace the item, refused to issue a refund, and said it will have to go to repair again. So once again we have to wait 4 days for them to pick it up, who knows how many days until we get it back, and then I am sure it will break again as it is obviously a lemon.

    I'm very happy with my experience at Lowe's! While we were looking for a new Bosch dishwasher last year, the helpful salesman at the local Lowe's talked us out of a Bosch (we had one earlier and loved it) and had us buy a KitchenAid dishwasher since it was 'better' than Bosch. We waited almost 4 weeks for a dishwasher that we were told we would have in 2 weeks but since it was being 'made' for us upon us ordering it, hey it must be good!

    Wrong, not even a year has passed since we got it, it has been repaired 3 times, requiring a new pump motor and control panel as well as the locking switch. Oh yeah, after the motor/control panel were replaced, the first time we ran it, it leaked water since the tubing had become disconnected after the 'repair' and the national rep for the local repairman KNOWS his employee didn't do it. Now we have a torn up kitchen floor in our custom built home and since this happened we found out that our flooring company, Shaw, stopped making our floor.

    This means the WHOLE first floor has to be torn up since we can't match the floor, nor can the insurance company, but hey we now know Shaw doesn't make our floor anymore! So now we get to spend the next week in a hotel, farm out our dogs to sitters and empty the whole first floor just like we are moving again. Oh, I won't be buying another appliance from Lowe's and you must know, our new flooring is NOT by Shaw!

    After three years of use the Washer tub bearing began to fail the third week of March, 2019. It got worse and worse the next week. I called Lowe’s warranty program 3/21/19. The man was very nice and scheduled a repairman visit for the following Tuesday, but he came Monday as was in the area. The repairman simply spun the tub by hand and said the bearing had gone bad, it could only be replaced by installing a new transmission. He said they would order it and it would arrive in 3-5 days, and I would be called then. No one ever contacted me from Lowe’s, ever.

    When I called them after four days, I was told it's an expensive part and they might want to replace the washer instead of paying for the repair. It would be cheaper for them to just replace it. They said I would be called within 3 days with their decision. They never called. I called after three days and was told the same thing, but they never called again. After four or five calls every three days I talked to a nice supervisor who arranged for another repairman visit. This time I ran the machine on spin cycle for the repairman so as to hear how deafeningly loud the noise was. He said the tub bearing was bad. This time I made sure he wrote down in his report that the bearing was "bad".

    After five days, and 25 days since I first called Lowe’s, On 4/15/19 I called Lowe’s and ask to speak to the supervisor. The call took 45 minutes to speak to the supervisor for a few minutes. She said her name was Courtney. She referred to the repairman report omitting the the part where he stated the bearing was bad. She said despite the excessive noise on spin from the bad bearing, if the machine was still able to complete its wash cycles, the Lowe’s warranty I had purchased for 5 yrs, for $109, would not be honored. She was quite "mater-of-fact" in her tone, non-apologetic, did not show any concern for my dilemma.

    I asked for their claim denial to be provided to me in writing so that I could show it to the judge. She said it wasn't available in writing. But I could request it from their legal department in No Carolina, but could only write to them if I was a lawyer. I asked if I could cancel the remaining warranty contract and receive a refund. She said yes it would be pro-rated, but in my case it would be $0.

    My deck installation has to be the worst example of workmanship ever. The contractor doesn't know county codes, and I'm not sure where he gets his help but they appeared very young, maybe temporary day help? Craftsmen, no Crapsmen! They Installed a partial fence and gate, also a deck. The fence posts were all different heights, some 4 ft some 6 ft, the gate was also dragging on the ground. They came and cut the posts but the gate still drags a little. The Deck was installed 1 inch above the patio door threshold and connected to the house with some little screws. The composite decking was all scratched, also 2 boards were not the same brand and pattern, the fiberglass railing was not installed the height I wanted.

    They came and replaced 4 gouged and scratched deck boards, and the 2 boards that were a different color and pattern. They bolted the Deck underneath to the house but didn't screw some bolts in all the way. Also lowered the deck below the threshold. Railing was still not right and I still had more scratched Deck boards. They came back and supposedly replaced scratched/gouged boards, although they seem to still be there! They also replaced the railing to the right height. A couple weeks later the railing started to break away from the posts. They had screwed the fiberglass brackets too tight and cracked all of them so now the railing is all falling apart. Lowe's just keeps saying the brackets are on order. Also, the installer pounded some of the posts caps so hard that the tops are flattened instead of coming to a peak. I have so many things that need replaced in my house, but it won't be products or services from Lowe's.

    Multiple requests for products are met with no information. Upon ordering, I find they just don't have it and can't say when they will. 7 miles further up the road, Home Depot seems to have what I'm looking for every time and at the same or similar pricing. Home Depot's customer service is usually consistent which is about all a person can ask for these days... Even when in person, asking a customer rep about an item I'm seeking, Lowe's loses out on every personal visit and every internet attempt at ordering that I've found. I'm not a commercial customer, but have gone so many times to Lowe's only to find they just flat out don't have what I need and end up driving up the road to Home Depot or even Ace Hardware to find what I'm looking for. Lowe's needs to reevaluate their focus before they become a boarded up store with Closed sign in front of it.

    I have done my first & last renovation project with Lowe's. My 4-6 week kitchen reno wasn't done after 4 1/2 months & wrought with errors. Two base cabinets were put in the wrong place & had to be moved. Plumber removed copper tubing from my fridge without permission & replaced it with such excess plastic tubing my icemaker water line backed up & I had to hire an appliance repairman to fix my fridge. I had to hire my own tile guy to get the backsplash done. I had to hire my own electrician to fix mistakes like outlet & switches so close together you couldn't put wall plates on. I was charged labor for removal of 2 layers of flooring even though only one layer was removed. I was charged for installation of sub flooring even though it was never installed. My reverse osmosis was reconnected improperly & I had to call my water softener guy to fix it. The list goes on.

    Over 1 year later I'm still trying to get a refund on these items. I'm due $4,129.17. Today, I got a letter from their Senior Manager of their Central Production Office, dated April 5, 2019. I received it April 10th. He generously gave me 10 days from the date he wrote the letter, & offered me $2,500.00, & that is his final offer. If I don't respond in what is actually 4 days, I get nothing & they will consider the matter closed. How rude! And how wrong! Take my advice, hire your own people for everything.

    I have done a bunch of shopping at my local Lowe's store in remodeling my home. I often buy more than I think I might need of an item, knowing I can return the unopened items if need be. My son needed some 2 x 4s so I told him to take back a container of grout tile that was unopened for credit and he could use for his wood. He received an in-store credit for the rest of the item. Just went to use, and found that they tied this card to my son's drivers license, and without it, could not be used. I especially liked the clerk explaining to me in front of other customers that they do this so an ID is tied to a return without a receipt, in case I had stolen the item and tried to return. Home Depot is 5 minutes further away. I will shop there now.

I found 2 light fixtures with sale pricing, put them in my cart, and returned to website on 4/10/19 to place my order. The sale price had been removed. I called customer service and they said there was an error on their website but if I had proof of pricing they would honor it. How would I have proof of an online price? Lowe's knew there was an issue but would not honor the sale price unless I had proof. I feel this is very dishonest marketing.

    Very disappointed, I purchased a full line of Samsung Kitchen appliances from the store located at 2150 Minton Rd, Melbourne, FL 32904. During my purchase I was asked if I was interested in a three year extended warranty which would begin to take effect after the one year manufactures warranty ended. My husband and I decided to purchase the warranty.

    Since our purchase we have had continuous issues from both our refrigerator and our range. We have had them repaired almost a dozen times now. Aside from those frustrations, my biggest disappointment was learning that the salesperson had given us incorrect information. I called in to make yet another claim on my range yesterday and was informed that my warranty is no longer active. I asked why it was inactive and was told that it was expired. I was then informed that my warranty started on the date of my purchase and that it did not in fact start after the one year manufactures warranty ended.

    I think it is very unfair and unacceptable to sell a warranty with incorrect information. It is also unfair and unacceptable to start a warranty on the date of purchase when my delivery was so far delayed due to the store not having my appliances in stock. Needless to say, I intend to take my business elsewhere from now on. Amanda **.

    I purchased a sterling shower system and upon opening the products every part was broken. I had to go to 2 stores to replace shower components. Upon installing the new shower I found I was given the wrong size side walls. So I take a 3rd trip to the store to get what they said was my correct size. When I tried to install it it just didn't fit. After putting the shower bases item number in Lowe's website, I find that from the very beginning I had the completely wrong set of walls from the beginning. So called stores service desk, got transferred to the plumbing department and was promptly hung up on. I repeated this process 3 more times with the same results. So I called the corporate helpline. A case file with started and I was asked to wait 24 hour period for someone should contact me.

    After 30 hours I call back to see where my case was at. I was asked to wait another 24 hours and my case was escalated. Another 24-hours pass and no one contacts me. So I call 3rd time and once again they say that they will escalate my case and someone will call me in 24 hours. They suggested I call several stores to see if they had what I needed in stock and gave me a couple of suggestions from what they can see on the computer. I called the store closest to me that showed they had the product and was hung up on three times after being transferred to the plumbing department. So I called back the corporate line and they assured me that someone would call me within 24 hours because they escalated it to a store managers response.

    After this I called for stores. Finally found two stores that might have the product. Went to those doors and found the first one had only part of my order I needed. The second store actually had both parts miraculously and I swapped out the wrong parts and took them home. The following week 5 days after the last contacted the corporate helpline I finally get called by the store and they wanted to know if I got my problem solved and when I told them I did in the trouble that I had gone through didn't even really get a legitimate apology.

    So disappointed in Lowe's Machesney Park IL store. Back in November I purchased a door. The first door came in damaged and I never saw it because the damage was bad enough they automatically ordered a new one. The second door came in and made it to my home. It too was damaged and the entirely wrong door. I ordered mahogany grain with a brown wood stain. I got a nearly purple "mahogany" colored door. This door also was damaged to the point I would not have let it be installed even if it were the correct one.

    I am now waiting on door number 3. It has been 5 months. I also ordered 15 windows at the same time. 4 arrived obviously broken. They were sent back and the other 11 were installed. The saga of communicating with our "rep" has been abysmal. The level of unprofessionalism is so astounding I have had to stop and wonder if I'm on some kind of prank show. I received one call from her and when I answered she said "Yeah I got a voicemail." If the number hadn't come up as Lowe's Customer Service I would have had no idea what she was talking about. In that conversation she let me know she had been emailing me but I wasn't responding. I asked her what email address she had and she gave me my dead 13 year old child's email address. How she even had that, I will never know.

    After months of waiting, the 4 replacement windows arrive and we had noticed issues with the windows that had been installed. ALL 11 windows are broken or have major defects. The installers wouldn't even install the other windows because the situation is so bad. I waited another week and reached out to our point of contact Cassandra again who was "just getting ready to call me" and she is "just about to" email the store to get in touch with the Reliabuilt Rep. When I tell her I would like to speak to someone else as she has been wildly unhelpful she refuses and gets mad that I would want to escalate this further.

    I have junk windows in my home that are all needing to be replaced and she doesn't see how this is an issue. I want this situation resolved so I can sell my home, Their delays have already cost us the home we planned to purchase and now here we are 5 months into this ordeal and I still have no resolution. 5 months and still no door and still no windows. Then as it turns out I was sold the bottom of the barrel on windows. The salesperson completely misled me and I guess I am the dumb one for listening to him and not going with the windows I was intending.

    Thank God I didn't start any other projects with them. I was planning a lot more work but Lowe' s will not get any more business from me. I will have the floors and countertops I ordered yesterday from somewhere else before this situation is resolved. I have been patient. I have been understanding. I have been everything you'd want in a customer in a bad situation but 5 months is LONG ENOUGH. I want this fixed. I want it done RIGHT and I want it done NOW! This barely scratches the surface of what we've been through for what SHOULD have been a straightforward project. I even Paid in Full so I'm now out over $15000 for NOTHING!!!

    Where to begin. The fact that this store can open its doors is a miracle in itself. Not sure how employees find there way back on a daily basis. The employees spend the majority of their time huddled together doing nothing but gossiping. If one needs help it is most beneficial to find another customer in the area and ask. There have been multiple times that I have helped other customers load wood and then they would help me. Store employees were to busy huddled up at the customer service desk. Typical number of employees at customer service desk are at least 10. If you are in the store itself there are no employees.

    Let me pick the last time I went to the store. It was Saturday March 16 2019 at 9:30 in the morning. I purchased 4x8 sheets of external siding. There were no other customers to help me load the material. I had to load the material on a vertical style cart myself, on the end row near the cash register. Why a vertical cart the employees do not bring carts in from outside. I could not find a sheet cart in parking lot and none were available in the store. After loading the 11 sheets of material I proceeded to check out. Paid for the material and pushed cart into loading area. Brought my truck to loading area and attempted to load material myself.

    Finally gave up and asked cashier if there was any way I could get help. She stuck her head out the door and asked another employee who was lounging on the cement bags to help if he had time. He was not wearing anything that identified him as an employee. So I was not aware he worked there. We got the material loaded. After completing this I parked my truck back in the parking lot and returned inside to pick up a few other items that I had on my list. I noticed a horizontal style cart left in the middle of the door with 2 trash cans on it full of garbage. A woman in front of me walked past the garbage and went behind the Pro Desk (Nothing Identifying who she was) I picked up my remaining items and got in line to pay.

    The cashier did something that required a manager to reset the cash register. She requested a Manager 3 times over the intercom all the while the line is getting longer. Finally the woman I walked in behind got up and brought her card over to reset the cash register and commented she was not working. AHA she was a manager who walked past 2 garbage cans in the door and did nothing (were still there by the way). Lot of store pride there.

    Now Sunday March 31 I placed an order online for pick up at Lowe's Olive Branch. Everything is in stock got confirmation Email being processed. Ordered 4 50# sacks of Pennington Grass seed. Received call from Lowe's Monday 4/1/19 Grass seed is not in stock. I asked the person about that because the Website says there are 21 bags in stock. She commented, "Yes it says that but that's not correct." They looked and can't find it. (Missing 1000# of grass seed and who cares) She says, "I can get 5 40# bags and will still receive the 20% discount that was offered on the original order." Received the price and said that's fine. She will change the order. My wife was going to be in town and I asked her to pick it up. (Big mistake)

    After arriving at the store she stood at the online order counter for 30 minutes while all of the employees were gossiping at the customer service desk. Finally she goes to the Customer Service Desk and is now in the back of the Line 30 minutes later she reaches the counter. Gives them the information with order number. The Lowe's employee finds it n the computer and says it is not ready. Who cares about the Email I have that says come pick it up. They were confused as what to do because they did not have the grass seed. My wife went over the conversation that was had. The person at customer service desk is more confused now because the computer is showing 17 bags of grass seed in stock.

    My wife is now frustrated and calls me. I really do not care as long as I get 200#'s of grass seed at the correct price. They proceed to make this big production of of how big a discount they are giving us because of the issues. 2.5 hours later my wife finally has the fertilizer and Seed loaded. looks at the receipt and discovers the Military discount is not on there. Back to stand in line at customer Service 30 minutes later adjustments are made. How much was the discount you ask without the military discount. $0.02215/lb. The only reason I used to shop at Lowe's was because of the Military discount 10% off is not bad.

    Interestingly when you check out it pops up on the cashier's screen "Read to customer: Thank you for your service." That does not happen at Lowe's in Olive Branch Mississippi. There is the chance that the employees can't read. I know that they do not work. Called the store and asked for the Manager, Not available, Left my number, No returned call. Called Lowes Customer Service corporate number asked for the Regional manager to call me. Received ticket Number **. No return call. Quite Obviously the Regional Manager doesn't care much either. Maybe this store would be a good one to have secret shoppers or have the CEO come work for a day. Home Depot is just down the street. Will start going there. Not worth 10% to have to deal with Lazy people.

The first time, they showed up to simply take measurements and told us that the installation would be a few weeks away. The second time, they showed up without us even making an appointment and no one was home. Unsettling much? It is simply infuriating. The third and final time the delivery persons were supposed to arrive between 1-3:30 PM and call us before they did. They arrived at 4:45, never called, and didn't even say "hello" when they arrived at the door. Monkeys could do the job that these people are assigned to do, but even a monkey would have better time management. My only wish is that I could rate them 0 stars out of 5.

    Our experience with Lowe's from the time we made the purchase and signed the contract was a disaster from the day we went in to sign the contract... We should have gone elsewhere. Never in my life have we been put through so much. At this moment Lowe's couldn't sell me a bottle of water after 5 days in the Sahara. We went in and told them we were needing carpeting and needing it fairly quickly because our daughter and her family were moving in temporarily. It was the beginning of March and Jeremiah the salesperson said having it done by April 1st wouldn't be a problem. So we went to the next phase and that was when someone would be out to measure the rooms... 8 days later they arrived. After measuring they said it could be up to 48 hours and Lowe's would contact us to come in to pick out the carpet and sign the contract. 2 days later we got a call and went in on Thursday.

    Next phase...the contract: we arrive and there is a guy that is stocking shelves. We are standing by the computer. Pretty certain he can tell we are waiting for help. He keeps stocking so I looked at him and pushed the call for service button. He slowly moves up the aisle to help us. We tell him that we are there to pick out carpeting and to sign the contract. He pushes a couple of buttons and says he's new and needs to get someone to help. Ok, sure! He brings over a manager from the door department cause evidently they don't have enough staff in each department so they have to count on managers that know nothing about the other departments.

    She proceeds to stand there for quite a while and finally admits she doesn't know what she's doing so she calls another manager from lawn and garden! Mind you we are not ordering topsoil, just carpeting. This guy though finally manages to get the contract printed after calling the floor manager at home. This is an hour later.

    We proceed to look over the contract and they say the carpet has already been ordered. How was it ordered when we haven't picked it out. Evidently Jeremiah saw what we were looking at when we first came in and thought he knew what we wanted so ordered it. Problem is, it wasn't the right color. Then we began to look at the contract and it was a lot less than what it was supposed to be. Not only did Jeremiah order the wrong carpet, he did the contract without the pad and even though the contract was wrong, they didn't have the ability to change it.

    So 2 and 1/2 hours later, after they have called the manager at home again, it is decided that she will do a whole new contract with the right carpet and pad in the morning and we can come back and sign it the following night. So we came back March 15, 2019 with high hopes that we would finally have this disaster over and done with and we would have new carpeting before my daughter moves in. NOT SO FAST!!!! SILLY US FOR STILL BEING HOPEFUL! Said carpeting won't be in until the 27th. Being hopeful again, cause we cant quite grasp that it could get worse, we signed that contract, paid for it in full and waited in anticipation of having that new carpet. Thinking that the installers would still be there. It would give them 4 days to get it in and the move would begin.

    My husband decided to go to Lowe's to follow up on the order and Jeremiah said it would be there a day early! Great he says! So again we wait. The day it was supposed to come in, we didn't hear from Lowe's so my husband called the following day. New guy answers and says, "I don't know why Jeremiah would tell you that cause it's not getting here from California until Friday. So I call customer service at corporate cause I really feel they should know that they have several employees that really don't know what they are doing and they have made this experience a stressful mess.

    So I make a complaint and lo and behold, our carpet is in and the installers call to schedule the installation. Awesome, right? NO...it's not being installed until 2 weeks later! I am just done. Stick a fork in me done. The thought of Lowe's keeping our money after all this truly disgusts me, but do we really want to start this all over? No!!! We are stuck, but the great news is, you don't have to be. DO NOT BUY FLOORING AT LOWE'S NO MATTER WHAT!

    Went to the Louisville Store to buy Fridge, ours died. Wife picked out one she liked, but no Sales associate for miles. Like scatter like mice when customer has that look like they have a question. Anyway, went home, researched the model and decided to just order it Online through Lowe's. This was on Feb. 27, told wouldn't be able to deliver til March 25th. Sucked it up and in the interim bought a dorm Fridge and salvaged what we could. Got 1 e-mail stating in process. Called their Customer Service (HA) hopefully maybe that it might come sooner. NOPE! Said delivery date was now March 27th. HUH! Whatever! On March 24th received a e-mail saying in Caps ON IT'S WAY. Delivery on March 27th between 9:00 am -9:00 pm. Great. What a window!! Basically making you a prisoner of your home, because there was no mention of a phone call to alert you approximately when they might show up.

    Well, March 27th No Call. 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 o'clock roll by. Decide to check e-mail and Low(e) and behold order has been cancelled due to non payment. WHAT? Gave them credit card. Call customer service and ask what is going on. "Gave you credit card on Feb. 17th." They say it didn't go through and yet got e-mail on 24th stating On The Way Delivery March 27th. So asked if the fridge was in Louisville and told They couldn't tell us that unless we remitted payment. REALLY? Is It Top Secret?? So used my debit card and fixed that only to then find out the thing on the day of delivery was in Washington D.C. HUH!! No calls or e-mails within the month's period to say there was a problem with payment so that it could be straightened out.

    What kind of business processes an order from (Iowa, where supposedly it was to come from) without charging your card til the day of delivery??? Something Really Stinks Here!!! States implicitly that card would be billed immediately for Parcel Delivery and Truck Delivery on their e-mail at the bottom of order. FURIOUS! Told my wife to cancel it and they can eat the delivery charge across the country and the fridge, but she wouldn't let me. Asked well then when can we expect delivery?? PROBABLY.. (PROBABLY) 2-3 days, What's PROBABLY!!! Got another e-mail and said check up-dated status... Still had delivery date of the 27th. Not worth a Stroke, will never shop there Again!!!! Guess if enough people learn from others' mistakes, it'll hit them in the pocket book and they'll Wake Up!

    We should have known from the start with their lack of response to even getting us a quote that things weren't going to go well. Took almost 2 months to track them down, us calling them to follow up on things they said they were doing, and finally got our carpet ripped up and wood flooring down. Was told it was a one day job, took them two. Got a robocall a few days before they were scheduled to be here to bring materials inside (materials that we had to pick up, they don't bring them, didn't know that until they were in at the store from being ordered) prior to job. Tried calling number left to ask questions, sat on hold for 45 minutes, then 30 min when tried calling back. Called the Tilton Lowe's, tried to get to the flooring department, but the most unpleasant lady that answered at the service desk didn't like that my call kept coming back to her because they weren't picking up the phone in the department.

    Fast forward - Job was finished, few months later the transition pieces from wood floor in our hallway to one of our carpeted bedrooms came up. Went into Lowe's, asked for someone to fix it. They send out a "Carpet guy" who tells me he can't do anything because he does carpets, not wood. We go back to Lowe's, the guy in flooring remembers us (he better by now), offers us the transition piece free for us to fix it ourselves (that was the ONLY good thing that happened during this whole process).

    We reapplied it, but it's once again coming up, as are all of the other transition pieces. If they didn't have the proper materials or way to fix it, why wouldn't they just say something instead of do a poor job? NOW, we've noticed that gaps are forming between where one end of wood stops and the other starts in our hallway. This is happening in three spots. We are over our 1 year mark of install, so they will more than likely say "too bad." DO NOT GO THROUGH LOWE'S FOR FLOORING. USE A SMALL MOM AND POP BUSINESS AND PAY MORE. Save yourself the headache!

    I purchased a dishwasher from the Brookhaven, PA store on February 2. In advance of the purchase, and at the insistence of the man I worked with in the appliance section, I paid to have someone from Lowe's come to my house and take measurements to make sure the dishwasher I selected would fit. When I purchased the dishwasher, I was assured it would fit because the measurements previously taken gave no indication it would not.

    On the day of installation, the plumber called to tell me the dishwasher wouldn't fit. Apparently, I need a specific size. I returned to Lowe's and explained the situation to a different associate, who helped me select a dishwasher that would fit. This new model was slightly more expensive than the model I had originally purchased, but after speaking to her manager, she told me I would not be charged the difference in an effort to correct the mistake that had been made by Lowe's. According to her, there was one model of this particular dishwasher left on the floor, and she was going to set it aside for me. She said she would contact the plumber, and once he returned the model that did not fit, he could pick up the new dishwasher and arrange for its installation.

    On the new day of installation, the plumber called and told Lowe’s didn’t have a dishwasher for me, and that no one in the appliance department knew what was going on. I called Lowe’s, and after some back and forth, the appliance manager, Kevin, realized that the previous associate tried to do an exchange in the system, but it didn’t work because she should have returned the first dishwasher and entered the second dishwasher as a new purchase. Kevin was able to locate the second dishwasher I selected in the system and placed a new order.

    On the day it was set to be installed, I discover Kevin had ordered a stainless steel model, even though I wanted white. When I contacted both customer service and Kevin, I was basically told that all of this was my fault, and that I had never specified which color I wanted. I will now have to wait an additional two weeks for the white model to arrive. This has been a very poor customer service experience, and I do not appreciate being blamed for the situation nor spoken to in a condescending manner.

    After waiting at home for 7 hours, they failed to show up! I made 4 calls requesting an update starting with a call at the end of my delivery window 12-4pm. Call #1 was made around 3:40, I called Lowe's customer service and was told that Lowe's outsourced my delivery so they could not tell me anything and that I needed to speak with another company and then I was blindly transferred. The other company told me my order was on the truck, they couldn't reach the driver but would keep trying and call me back with an update.

    My Call #2 was made at approx. 4:30 (30 min past the 4 hour window) and I was informed that the driver was still not answering the phone but but they assured me it would be delivered soon. Call #3 was made at approx. 5:30 (1 hour and 30 min out of my 4 hour window) and I was told that the delivery guy was finishing a job and my house would be next. Call #4 was made at approx 6:30 (2 1/2 hours out of my 4 hour window) and I was told that the STORE cancelled my delivery and that I would need to speak with them if I had any questions. I was so upset!! At this point, I've been stuck at home for 7 HOURS waiting on this delivery. I spoke with the night manager named Chris and he did not believe anyone at the store cancelled the delivery but vowed to get to the bottom of it.

    He was in contact over the next 24 hours but had no meaningful updates other that confirming they did not cancel, while the delivery company says that they did. As the two blame each other, I'm stuck in the middle demanding answers, compensation, and my delivery! I get a random automated call the next evening telling me my order will be delivered the following day between 12:30-4:30. NO ONE reached out confirming the date was good, they just scheduled it. Therefore I had to scramble, rearrange plans and miss ANOTHER day of work. Since the delivery, all communication stopped with Chris although he promised to get to the bottom of what happened and I requested to be compensated. I have had the worst experience ever from your Newark, DE location!

    Never again will I patronize your company and I will be providing my experience on social media as well as other complaint websites to let people know how awful your customer service is! No one took responsibility for my inconvenience as well as missed time from work. Instead they blindly plopped me on the calendar and marked me off as complete.

    Terrible service. Ordered storm doors 2 months ago. They screwed up the order. Sent the installation request giving them a wrong phone #. We even changed it in the store, but they still got it wrong. So I keep waiting and then called them when they worked out they had the wrong #!!! So then they sent the order to another company and I waited over 2 weeks for them. When the doors came in they called but they needed 4 days to check the order. They turn up to install the door and there is a part missing! On top of that he installed it wrong and there was a gap that would let bugs in.

    I asked him and he had the nerve to say that it was a cheap door ($600 plus installation) so I shouldn't expect much. I then waited three weeks for them to order a BOLT (That missing part that they didn't know about even though they 4 days to check it). So the company was supposed to come at 11am today. Guess what as seems to be the usual lousy service from Lowe’s. They never turned up. NEXT TIME HOME DEPOT (LOWE’S may be out of business by then).

    In terms of customer experience, it's among the bleakest and most unfriendly retail establishments I've ever visited. If you are lucky you'll find someone there who wants to help you find what you are looking for. Otherwise, they are extremely rude and most of the time don't know what they are doing for the department they're in. They often tell you, "Well I will give you a call" when I research what went wrong but never calls, even the managers. The cashiers and service desk people act like they wish you were dead and look as though they'd sooner drink turpentine than deal with another customer. If you can stand the miserable people who work there, yes, you'll generally find what you need. If you have the option of going to Home Depot, do that instead. I am about to cancel my credit account with them and go to Home Depot. It's a shame because I would rather travel to Home Depot than deal with them any longer.

Well Lowe's kept calling and said it was on its way... Then they said it HAD been delivered and I am sitting there with the guy listening to me yelling, "They STOLE MY REFRIGERATOR and I am contacting police right now" (Showed up Late in evening...they found it in one of the delivery guys' garages). Oh same deal days before... my thousands of dollars of roofing materials had been delivered and I even signed for them? Hmm, I was in hospital...got out and had this other store try to find that receipt WITH my signature. OOPS they couldn't... Well this was another store.

I go out of my way to buy from this store...even though my properties are VERY close to another store. Screw ups happen...but it seems this store always makes it right one way or another.

I have asked to elevate this issue to a regional manager or corporate executive multiple times and have been stopped at the customer service WALL every time I've asked.

    I contacted the manufacturer (Elkay) on March 13, 2019 and was told they currently had eight (8) of the model LSR27224 in stock and there were no supply issues. I don't know if Lowe's or the Distributor is the problem, but it has become more than crystal clear, based on my experience, that Lowe's doesn't care about delivering their customers with the products that have been paid for in a reasonable time period.

    WARNING - installers hired by Lowe's are amateurs! We've had our 11KW standby generator with automatic transfer switch since Sept 2017. It goes through the weekly tests effortlessly. We have never had a power outage, so I can't attest to how it performs under those conditions. As we were thinking of actually selling the unit (since we don't seem to lose power at all where we live), we experienced a snow slide off our roof, which landed right on the lid of our generator and caved it in so we can no longer open it. A friend of ours just had one installed as well and was in utter shock that the unit was placed where it was because their installer explained to them that they had to put the unit far enough away from the house so that this very situation did not happen to them. They could not believe our installer made such an amateur error.

    I contacted Lowe's and they said this is something I should have mentioned at installation, not now. Really? I'm paying thousands of dollars to have a pro install this unit and I'm supposed to be the expert and inform him that he's not picking the correct location??? After fighting for a while, they tried to tell me I need to call Generac and inquire about a warranty issue since this is not a Lowe's issue! Again, REALLY??? I said this has nothing to do with the warranty as the unit works, but everything to do with Lowe's installation location... which is literally beneath our roof line. We live in up north Michigan. We get snow. The unit was installed in a poor location and will never survive. Period.

    I asked for a Lowe's supervisor and I have left four messages with one and have not heard back. I did reach out to Generac and they didn't know what else to say other than I could file a homeowner's insurance claim and call this an act of God. It's not an act of God... Lightning striking and hitting the unit is an act of God. If this is an act of God, then I invite anyone to park their car in the same spot in the winter. Or, pull up a lawn chair and have a seat there too. Because, as I'm being told, something would only happen to you if an act of God occurred.

    So, bottom line... I have no problem with the product and I would recommend it to a friend... but with a HUGE warning that they get an installer that knows what they're doing and stands behind their work. But, because I can't even open my unit and it will continue to get crushed if not moved, I had to give it a one star rating because it would eventually become useless.

Taking off work to accept it, they received a freezer with scratches and dents. When they questioned it, they were told it was a floor model. I called the customer service concerned because I had purchased a new freezer. Customer service told me they would call back within 24 hours, but that it was up to the local store (#0441) to make it right.

I was glad it would be solved and they would have their freezer. Taking more time off work to be there again from 9am-9pm, they delivered another freezer, this one was dented up worse than the original one. The driver said, "We know it's dented but they thought you'd take it for 10% off." They refused it.

    I again called the store and spoke with them. They have NO SOLUTION neither does their Customer service. We want to just cancel the transaction, and purchase from somewhere else. They now are saying They can give us a pickup day of the freezer in 10 days again needing to take off work. I've asked to help us out and come after 5 pm, and they will not work with that.

They left our entire downstairs in shambles and turned off our electricity for days so we could not return to the property and destroyed over $300 dollars worth of food between the dirt and the turned off fridge. This winter, our window started leaking, and we found out the insulation put in the walls was not of a high enough grade and our new dishwasher froze and busted due to their bad insulation job. They left a space between the foundation of our house and the wall, and animals were getting into our house. My husband sprayed insulation foam into the holes and under the cupboards to try and keep animals out as it is winter and we don't have the skills to fix the issues. It has cost us extra this winter to keep our kitchen warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing.

    Corporate is currently giving me the run around about our contract and if they are responsible for fixing any of it, because we didn't sign a second contract, but we did get permission to have the wall fixed when they tore it down and found black mold through Lowe's. The contractor also tore up our floors even though it wasn't part of the contract and they left us with no flooring in our kitchen because it wasn't Lowe's approved, so we know the wall was approved even though there is no second contract because the contractor was allowed to fix it before installing the kitchen.

    Lowe's is shady and I've been complaining about our install for months and they have yet to send someone out to assess the leaks and broken items. Also as a side note everything was installed 1/2 an inch off and so nothing is centered in the room. The window frame is uneven, the sink is not centered under the window and the kitchen island is not centered in the room. I don't even care about this, I just want the leaking and animals to stop.

    I opened up the order number and it showed the refund but also show a different amount of money. It turned out when she refunded the specific amount for the tile, their system added an extra $100 delivery charge. She told us to call corporate to figure out the rest. So I did, was on the phone for an hour trying to figure it out. Corporate could not find a place that has the tile so she had to do some calling around. This made absolutely no sense because as I was on the phone I could still go on LOWE'S website and order the same exact tile in the amount of 300 cases for truck delivery even though she couldn't find them anywhere. They finally figured out that Gaylord would go get the rest of the tile from another location and deliver them to me. They refunded the extra delivery charge.

    I was then told I would have to call Midland LOWE'S to see why I didn't get their portion of the delivery on 3/2. So When I called, they also stated that the delivery was supposed to be for 3/18. I forwarded the email we got from Lowe's showing it was supposed to be 3/2 so they could see I was not making it up. I was told by 3 different employees that LOWE'S website is not user friendly. How can such a huge company accept and $1200 order and state it will be delivered by a specific time and the stores have no knowledge of it and provide no communication about it. We had to call and figure it out and it took 6 different phone calls to Gaylord, Midland, and corporate to have it figured out.

    On top of everything, when we put in the order, Lowe's did not automatically deduct it from our account. It wasn't until we figured this all out, that they deducted it weeks later. This absolutely unacceptable. I will never, ever order from Lowe's again and would never recommend ordering online from them to anyone. The employees at Lowe's were very helpful but I had to spend 2 hours figuring this out with them. Lowes.com is not at all linked to their stores and it should not be able to be used if it is not accurate.

    I frequent the Lowe's in Warner Robin's GA doing investment real estate remodels. I have always preferred Lowe's over the competitor and used them exclusively for 20 years. In the past three visits I have made it was impossible to find a cart to purchase lumber. There were many carts with store merchandise on them all over the isles but none available for use. I called in complaint to the corporate office and the local store manager called me back and kept saying "I apologize. We need more carts." I told her if the carts were freed up for use it would solve the problem. She continued with "we are waiting on the end of the fiscal year to get the carts." I own a company and if carts were costing me sales I would fix it that same day even if it meant renting carts.

    I left because I could not purchase the amount of lumber needed without a cart and went across the street to the competitor and found many carts lined up on the lumber aisle in pristine condition just waiting for customers. I was surprised that the competitor was so well organized since I haven't been in the store in 20 years but I will be going back. Lowe's has lost its edge at least at the Watson Blvd location. I even took pictures of the competitor's carts hoping I could download for a review.

    I have been in contact with the Flooring department and your Installation department about my laminated floors since late June early July. I have been giving the runaround. The installer came to my house December 12, 2018 and only did 3 transition to the floors and they don’t even look good at all. He left and stated that the flooring material is faulty that was sold to me and that this has nothing to do with the installation. He stated that all of the rooms I had done (kitchen, laundry room, dining room, family room and hallway) flooring is faulty. I went to the Lowe’s store that I purchased the flooring from and I was told this is not their problem. So, at this point someone one needs to take responsibility for this issue and I don’t care who problem this is whether it’s Lowe’s or the Installers. All I know that I paid to have my floors done and I should not still be going back and forth about this issue.

    The manufacture sent out an independent contract and the report came back stating that my problems with my floors buckling and separating is not their problem. I am so upset about what is going on at this point that everyone saying that It’s not their fault that my floors that I purchased is coming apart. I don’t think this is how a loyal customer should be treated when I purchased this product. The salesperson said if I had any problems that it should be taken care of and I guess I was lied to. Now I get phone calls from the Lowe’s offering me not even half of what I paid for my floors and I don’t think that is right to offer me a low amount know that the warranty that I had on these floors are null and voided. Also, the worst thing about this situation is that my family has been loyal customers for years.

    If I had it to do over I would not buy appliances from Lowe’s again. Maybe it was unique to the Bluffton, SC store but there were way too many challenges. If you are not having them installed right away be sure to ask that they deliver in original boxes. We ordered a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. The microwave and dishwasher were in open original boxes. They agreed to exchange the refrigerator (which looked like it had been on the showroom floor) and the stove which was dented. We agreed to keep the washer and dryer because they no longer sold those models. Upon unwrapping the dryer we discovered dents, I inquired as to whether they would do anything, not looking to return. They won’t do anything at all. Tough luck!

    First they fired the project specialist for our kitchen install. Then after so much hassle, they delivered the cabinets and so much was missing and some are damaged. My husband lost 3 days of work on top of us not having a kitchen for a month now. So the missing cabinet was found in another store 20 miles away. The contractor said that they need approval from the project coordinator and that she could not be reached all day. I finally called their corporate office because nobody wants to take my call from the local store. So bottom line is nobody can be reached since it's after 5pm. The corporate CSR left a message for the contractor and cabinet company and that was it. So my husband will potentially lose 5 days of work because of this company that sucks! Good news is that they are no longer continuing this business (I was told) and bad news for us who got suckered in.

    I am documenting this story as a warning to other consumers as the Lowe’s in Cotati has effectively stolen approximately $800 from my partner and I by not honoring our in-store credit card. Here is our story; in 2017 I purchased flooring from Lowe’s department store in Cotati with cash. My partner and I installed the flooring and after the job was complete, we returned about $1,000 in unused flooring materials. We were told that we were not eligible for a refund but were provided a card for in store credit. At the time we were told we would need to present a driver’s license to utilize the card as they were connected.

    After evacuating from the Nuns Canyon Fire in 2017 we decided to move out of our home in the Sonoma Valley and relocated to the Russian River where the redwood trees and flowing water seemed to provide more shelter from raging wildfires. We moved into our new place in April of 2018 and bought some paint with the in-store credit card, about $200 worth, to paint the interior of the house.

    Shortly thereafter my partners wallet was stolen. We contacted the police department and filed a report. The in-store credit card from Lowe’s was in the stolen wallet. At the time we were not concerned about the card being used by the thief as we were told it was only valid with ID. When we contacted Lowe’s in Cotati we were told that there was no way to use the in store credit card if the card was missing. When we asked about the connection between the driver’s license and the card, we were told that only at the time of purchase would the driver’s license be needed for validation. That there was no way to connect the license to the card or verify our in-store credit.

    Having a hard time digesting the fact that $800 of in store credit was just gone, we contacted the customer service corporate office. Initially we were told that someone would be in touch after they had investigated the incident further. We were told this on three separate occasions, alas no one called us back and upon contacting management in Cotati were told our case had been closed, to our dismay. After going back and forth via phone for a few months we decided to carve out some time on the weekend and head down to the store to see if we could speak to someone in person and get to the bottom of the issue.

    A representative told us that they could track down the card details through the purchase of the paint supplies. So, we dug through our basement to find the old paints cans from Lowe’s. We returned to the Cotati store the next weekend and spent the day talking with different managers trying to troubleshoot ways to verify our in-store credit card making no headway. That day a corporate representative told us that if we could just find the date of the paint purchase, they would be able to find the card. We presented the paint cans, with the purchase date shortly thereafter and were told that the Cotati store only had wiped their data in June and therefore there was no way to verify the in-store credit.

    A customer service representative from the national corporate office said this was unusual, if it were any other store, they would have been able to find the transaction details. Cotati is unique in that they wipe their data from time to time. So here we are about one year later and more than 6 months of trying to get to get back our $800 from Lowe’s. No one ever mentioned they wipe their data or seemed to care enough to call us back or notify us that our case had been closed. Lowe’s in Cotati has effectively stolen $800 from my partner and I, offered no apology or attempt to rectify the matter. I am appalled with the Lowe’s Cotati incompetence and corporate policies that do not reflect the marketing values they claim.

I was standing in front of them seconds before they crashed onto our floor. 100 year old China was lost along with some food items.

    The cabinet company replaced the cabinets and stated that the cupboards had been installed incorrectly. They also stated that all the cupboards should be looked at, as from the photos, it appeared that none of the cabinets were supported correctly. Spoke with Lowe’s and was informed that their installation covers one year. When I restated that they appeared to be installed incorrectly, I was told again the warranty covers only one year. So, I could very well have been killed by the falling cupboards, I lost irreplaceable china, and there is nothing Lowe’s will do. Oh, other than give us an estimate for installing the new cupboards!

    I ordered a Samsung washing machine from Lowe's recently, requesting installation along with haul away service for the old machine. Ultimately their choice of delivery companies reflects on their business, so when I relayed the experience and they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, a review was warranted. On the night before and morning of delivery I received a voicemail that my delivery window was 12-4 pm and I would receive a call from the driver 30-minutes ahead of delivery. Later on that day (a Thursday) I received another call that my delivery window had been changed to 4-8 pm; at that point I called the delivery company to ensure I would still be receiving a 30-minute notice as otherwise I would need to reschedule. This was confirmed.

    At 3:34 pm I received a call from the driver of the delivery truck, who informed me they would be at my residence in 15-20 minutes. So much for the half hour notice. I quickly made my way home and at 3:53 pm was pulling into my driveway having just passed what I would come to find out was the delivery truck making its way out of my development. I then received a phonecall from the delivery company saying the truck was sitting outside my residence since I was not home, and was authorized to wait for 15 minutes if I could make it back in time. I quickly turned the car around and caught up with the delivery truck, motioning for them to turn around or pull over, as I was on the phone with the delivery company explaining that the truck was not in fact sitting in front of my residence.

    The company then called the driver and conferenced him onto our call. He said I was not home so they left. I told the driver I had not gotten a 30-minute notice, had been given 15-20 minutes instead and still was there in 19, and that he was supposed to be waiting for 15 minutes per the company. He said "well we rang the doorbell 6 times and you weren't home". I told him I was the car behind him and asked him to turn around as they were not even 5 minutes from my residence at that point. He said they had already turned the truck around too many times that day (clearly indicating that they could but just were not going to), and that he had already called the next customer and told them they were 6 minutes away.

    Again, far short of a 30-minute notice. I told the driver that just as I had gotten a call moving my delivery to later, so too could the next customer. They said no. Ultimately, 5 miles later we both had pulled to the side of the road, I was told that the company would add my residence as a stop at the end of the shift and they would be calling me to confirm.

    When I received that phonecall, the delivery company said there was bad weather coming in and they would not be delivering that day. I then rescheduled delivery for the following day (Friday). I then received a voicemail from Lowe's saying that delivery would be two days later (Saturday). I then received another call from the delivery company confirming a time window for delivery... the following day (Friday). Friday came and went with no delivery. At the end of the delivery window I called the delivery company and they said that since delivery had not been made on Thursday, the machine had gone back to Lowe's and I would have to reschedule with the local store.

    On Saturday, I was given a time window of 2:30-6:30 pm for delivery. It was not shocking what time the delivery was made. What was surprising, however, was the driver (same one from two days prior) knocking on the door at 6:35 pm to tell me that the machine was damaged and I should take a look at it to decide whether to accept it. Also, the accessories had not been delivered with the machine so they would not be able to install it even if I did accept the machine. Interesting coincidences, don't you think?

    During all this time, I did call the local Lowe's twice with the intent to cancel my order in the hopes that Home Depot's delivery company is run well. The first time I called, when I said I needed to cancel an order I was hung up on; the second time I called I just said I needed to discuss an online order, and was just placed on hold indefinitely. 20 minutes later I hung up. When I relayed the experience to the customer care team, I got an email from Valerie ** saying she had escalated to Senior Management and to allow 24 hours for a response. That was two months ago... Maybe their clocks are broken too.

    So it was time to replace the washer & dryer. We purchased a set for approximately $1,000 for the pair delivered with accessories. 5 months later very dissatisfied with the washer and its ability to balance loads and not Shake. Reviewed Lowe's return policy for appliances and you are able to return appliances for a full refund or credit for up to three months after purchase.

    Well it had been 5 months and a few days since our purchase but I decided to contact them anyways. Contacted Jesse and explained my situation and she took the ball and ran with it. No problem, picked up the units the following morning and by that afternoon called me and had refunded the total purchase price to my American Express. As to not go through another unsatisfactory experience with appliances I reviewed washer and dryers extensively and found that almost all of them had 4 * reviews but read the one and two star reviews and came to the realization that all washers and dryers and probably refrigerators alike are of nowhere's the same quality is 15-20 years ago. Finally just took wild guess and purchased a nice-looking looking set of an LG washer and dryer.

    They delivered it the following day and set it up and after a few days of using them I'm very satisfied with the performance but a little leery of all the new electronics and such that they use nowadays. But the point of this review is not on the appliance itself but on the great service that Lowe's gave after the sale. I didn't repurchase my washer and dryer from Lowe's because I had to but because of the great service after the sale!

    I purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator (first mistake, I will always buy Samsung for now on) almost 2 years ago from my local Lowe's. 2 months after delivery I needed service, the freezer door handle was wobbly, the lights stopped working in the fridge and the ice maker broke down (It was a floor model so I expected something to go wrong - second mistake). Getting service under the protection plan was difficult because it was a floor model and the Frigidaire warranty was in question. Lowe's wanted Frigidaire to cover it and Frigidaire was saying it was billable because a loose handle and burnt light bulbs was wear and tear. It took 8 phone calls and 2 days of waiting for a service tech to get it resolved. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, the ice maker broke down again so I called Lowe's expecting it to be easier and it seemed to be at first, they gave me a service appointment and I took the day off and... NO SHOW!

    Apparently the service group - A&E who is actually Sears (why are they going broke?) sent parts and unbeknownst to me, I was supposed to call A&E, let them know I got parts I was not expecting and reschedule my appointment. It took 13 days to wait for my first appointment and they are telling me the next available appointment is in 9 more days.

    CONSUMER ALERT! I have never posted anything on social media about any business but I think this is worth sharing. 4 years ago I bought a refrigerator from Lowe's and I paid almost 3k for it. It went out when it was a little over two years old (the manufacturer warranty ran out at 1 year). We went back to Lowe's and bought another refrigerator, a different brand of course. The new one was 3k. We made the decision to purchase the Lowe's extended warranty “just in case”. Well We haven’t had this one for two years yet and it went out.

    I went to Lowe's and asked how I go about using my extended warranty and the employee said he could not help me and I needed to find my paperwork. (I honestly thought they could look this up by name or number). I find the paperwork and contact the Lowe's warranty department. They sent a tech out, he said he would order the parts and return in a week to install. A week goes by and a different tech shows up, looks at the refrigerator, took a look and said he would order parts and come back in a week to install them. Excuse me but what happened to the parts the last guy “ordered”?

    A week later and no tech, no phone call, no email. I call Lowe's and they said they will send the tech out again. Another week goes by and the tech shows up. “I have to order parts and they will take a week”. That was two weeks ago and I have yet to hear from them or Lowe's. This process started Jan 3rd and I still do not have a refrigerator. MORAL OF THE STORY DON’T BOTHER SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON LOWE'S WARRANTY PLAN BECAUSE IT SUCKS! I have probably spent the same amount in eating out or buying groceries every day as I would have if I’d just bought another 3k refrigerator. Over a month and no refrigerator. Lowe's employees, do you have children? Do you know what a pain it is to have children and no refrigerator? They can't even eat cereal because I have no place to store milk!

    We contacted Lowe's in October 2018 to update one of our bathrooms. We just wanted to have a bathtub removed and replaced with a full shower. After hours with the designer picking out all of the fixtures, tile surround material and doors, we were told the designer would come to our home with the contractor to take measurements. This (service) was to cost us $75. The following week the designer showed up (alone) - contractor was unavailable. He said the contractor would contact us and make arrangements to come by. Never happened!! Called designer. Acted surprised that contractor never came by.

    Isn't it his job to see that contractor follows up?? Finally in December we called to get a refund of our $75 and call off the whole project. We were made to go into Lowe's to get our refund. We were told they were unable to issue us a corporate check for the $75 that we paid them. Oh, and they wanted to give us a $75 gift card. I said forget it, we would never do business with them again. After reading other's reviews, I guess we were lucky we never went further with this process with this company. I also wrote to the corporate offices and never heard back from them. Stay away from them!!

    While doing a full home remodel I have been making many purchases at Lowe's, Home Depot, OSH (before going out of business), Amazon, Costco. Buying ahead to ready for portions of remodel, I have not ran into any issues returning products if they go unused, don't fit, etc. The exception is Lowe's. I bought 13 stair risers in September, along with many other items online and picked up at store. Construction got delayed and then the Holidays came to further delay projects. Recently I found out I could not use 2 risers because they were too narrow for landing of stairs.

    Yesterday, while going to pick up other online ordered merchandise, I took the 2 risers that I was unable to use. The risers were in pristine condition; still with labels and shrink wrapped. To my surprise they said they had to be returned within 30 days. They couldn't even offer store credit! According to manager these were "special order" items, which was news to me. They showed me a back of a sales receipt, and that I should learn to read receipts for their policy! I said, "Look I bought online, I don't get that receipt you are showing me, these are the emails I got from Lowe's, nowhere in them does it say "special order" or their return policy". They said when I pick up item that receipt has it; perhaps, not sure.

    Nonetheless, the disrespect, not even store credit offered, all over $30 return have lost a customer, who spent thousands there. It is really upsetting, more than the money, the way they address this towards customers. Obviously I had never returned something there else I would of been long gone. I also wonder of folks that do construction for a living; never buy more than you need, have projects delayed, and be ready to return excess on a timely manner (and with a receipt) on top of all the stresses of the field. Or simply shop elsewhere which offer more flexibility. Glad to be able to vent here.

    Well, it started somewhere around mid January. I had a client purchasing new stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and over the range microwave for a house he is selling. I went to the store, placed the order, my client paid, and we were told they would be delivered the following week. NEVER heard back from the store. I called and they said they didn't have them scheduled until the end of the month (last day). I told them that we ordered "in stock" appliances to get them as quickly as possible. Long story short, I had to hire an installer and he came out THREE times before we got the dishwasher and microwave for him to install. I had to hire my own because it was going to take a long time if I used the one Lowe's has.

    Well, then I still had to get the refrigerator and stove. Again, long story short, I was held hostage by Lowe's on about five different days waiting on these appliances before I finally got them "outside the delivery" window at about seven PM at night. They did not install the ice maker right and only halfway put the handle on the refrigerator. I had the same experience a year ago when ordering for my own home. I thought it might have been an isolated instance. NOPE! They just suck. They have no regard for customers who give them their private business as well as purchase for multiple businesses and owners. When I spoke with the store manager she tried to shift blame to the delivery company. I purchased them from Lowe's and Lowe's should fix this!

    I ordered a new bathroom floor install from this Lowe's (NW HWY, Dallas) and it was a struggle from start to finish -- if they had actually finished that is... Eventually, I was forced to fire this Lowe's after they refused to listen, coordinate, and ultimately work the job. You'd think it was the first bathroom floor they'd ever seen as they struggled mightily to overcome such obstacles as: the bid, the materials, toilets, bathtubs, patchwork, molding, and subfloors. I ended up taking over the job myself and knocked it out in 1 day after wasting 4 weeks trying to work with Lowe's. Do yourself a favor, do the work yourself, even if you know nothing about flooring, you'll still know more than this Lowe's.

    I went to Lowe’s for an estimate for a deck installation. They gave me a couple quotes different prices. When they first came to do the installation. They said they had to make a deck a little bit bigger because of my septic system. So they said I want to cost me any more money so I agreed. But the first day the installation company arrived they took one pallet of cement home with them so I think they over ordered some material. So I contacted Lowe’s to see what happened to the other pallet of cement. I don’t really know how much cement was taken so I just had an estimate so they brought some back.

    After everything was all installed and done there was leftover material. So I contacted Lowe’s to come back and pick it back up. And never got a refund for what they picked up. So I had to go to the local store and asked for a refund but I don’t know what was really picked up because we had no proof what was picked up anymore all I had was pictures on my phone that was not that accurate because the pictures were blurry. So I got the deck installed in October. And I noticed some of the boards were coming back up so I contacted the Lowe’s I got the deck installation from and they said they would give me a call back and have someone come and check. So someone came and checked but Lowe's never came back to fix the problem.

    Now I have a deck boards coming up and I paid the extra money to get screwless boards so now I had to screw boards back down because my kids tripped over some. Went to the doctors to make sure he was ok. Now a year and a half later I have heard nothing back. I went back numerous times to get it all resolved but I just get the runaround.

    Cali ** was the project manager for the project and I heard so got a promotion. So I guess Lowe’s give their project managers promotions for screwing people over. I still have all the text and emails I sent to all of the project managers and the store installation experts. They were all useless. After me texting them all numerous times they just stop answering me back. So be very careful when you go to Lowe’s for any installation needs because if you read the reviews first you would think twice. You better off finding a local contractor for your installation needs. I hope this was really helpful for everyone because I don’t want anyone else to get screwed too!!

    If I could rate zero stars, that would be my first choice. I recently purchased a patio sliding door with the blinds in the glass. One very important criteria in purchasing the door was that I wanted a patio door with a keyed lock. Thus, I could lock/unlock it from the outside using a key. On the day of installation, my installer asked where was the handle for the door. No handle was found with the door. I called Lowe's (got cut off 3 times) to ask about missing handle.

    After 1 hour on the phone, I was finally told they would have to order it. I picked up the handle after receiving a call that it had arrived at Lowe's. When I got home, I opened the box and discovered the handle ordered was incorrect as it did not have a keyed lock. I returned the wrong handle and another one was ordered. I picked up the second handle and checked it immediately and found it was a keyed lock handle. Yay, I called my installer to have him come to do the installation. Unfortunately, the handle was correct, but no latch was included with the handle. I returned to Lowe's to ask about the missing latch. I was told they would have to order it. Grrr... I am patiently waiting for the call telling me the latch has arrived.

    One would think that there is not a lot to mess up with a bbq refill. Wrong, Lowe's Golden Valley can mess it up. While there was a plastic sealing cap over the hose attachment joint, the gas was on, the handle all the way to the left position. And it was tightened so strong, that I needed a long set of pliers to un-tighten. So gas will always evaporate, the tank empties sooner. Were you to have this tank inside a vehicle, garage, next to the balcony door when it rains, to connect after the rain stops you were to face serious health implications.

    Below the waste lane for selling me a full tank, which has been leaking for a while and still is when I am buying. Fraudulently reckless, since I am paying for a full tank refill. But from a health risk, criminally at least negligently endangering my health, safety and life. Iam for a shut down of this department, investigation, fines, and a question mark whether it will be fit to reopen.

    As with another review, if it were possible to give zero stars, I would based on our experience thus far. The initial cabinetry (Kraftmaid) was not made to what we had ordered and much of was returned for rework, delaying the project by several months. The project has started and instead as we had expected, getting a dedicated crew working on the kitchen for the entire day, the local contractor Lowes has assigned the project to sends only a couple of people out, who work two fours or so, and then leave for the day. Except for the first day of work, we have not been given a definitive time window for when/if a crew will come to continue work. I was told today by the contractor, it would check with the crew about availability.

    Communication between the Lowe's coordinator, the person assigned by the contractor and crew does not seem to exist and this is very concerning as Lowe's has told us that particularly for the cabinetry, remaining flaws and imperfections would be remedied when installed. We no longer have any confidence that this will happen. Looking at the experience of others with Lowe's, it seems fruitless to go up the corporate chain to try and make this bad situation better and we are very close to walking away from this mess, hiring a lawyer and going to arbitration where we'll at least get some of our money back.

So 9 weeks and counting, with no end in sight. They have the products we purchased, they have our money for them, they have our money for the installation fee. And we have -- nothing.

    We bought a new LG front loading washing machine Model WM5000HVA and matching dryer from Lowe's with the pedestals for both. The first load of Laundry washed in the washer produced a large puddle of water on the floor underneath the washer running out the front where it was visible. I pulled out the washer and mopped up the water mess that was pretty significant, and checked the water hookups and drain to identify the source of the leak. Nothing was obvious. I ran two quick cycles through the washer with no clothes while I watched all the potential places for leaks. No leaking was identified. I put the washer back in place and continued to use it over a week or two with no problems.

    On another day with just a random load of laundry it leaked all over the floor again. This time we thought it was a defective washing machine and asked Lowe's to replace it. They brought out a new identical washing machine and installed it along with the pedestals we ordered. This washing machine does the same thing. At random it dumps tons of water on the floor under and around the washing machine to the point that it has caused significant damage to the laundry room of our new home. By changing out the washer with a new one we now know it's not just a defective washer, but a design flaw in these front loaders that isn't being addressed by LG. By reading other reviews there are several other people that have written in with the same issues with the washing machines leaking and damaging their homes.

    The only way we have been able to mitigate the leaking problem slightly is to never wash more than a 1/2 load of laundry and use about 1/2 the amount of liquid HE detergent that is recommended. I have narrowed it down to the washing of my cotton flannel shirts is when it spits water out of the vent at the back of the machine, runs down the back panel, and onto the floor. This is totally unacceptable for a $1400.00 machine. We have furnished three separate homes now with LG appliances and have been please with their performance over all, but this is the first LG washing machine we have owned. Base on this negative experience alone it's the last LG product in our future. It's unfortunate that the company won't accept responsibility for a faulty design and take care of it before more unsuspecting customers have to go through this kind of ordeal as many already have.

    We are in the process of having a kitchen countertop replaced. Lowe’s makes claim that they use top contractors and they are vetted prior to working with Lowe’s. Don't believe it, smoke and mirrors. We have been dealing with them since Oct 2018 on this countertop and this is the end of January and still not complete. The installer showed up it was 2 young men around 20 years old (Whole lot of experience there). They walk in and immediately tell my wife that they can't remove the stove top. That was the first we heard that. Lowe’s was supposed to have went over this in the store with us. Obviously that didn't happen. Reason being is that the person we were dealing with is incompetent. I was out of town so my wife had to remove it.

    The installer (proper name because they are not a contractor) removed the old countertop and started install of the new. Of course they got about half installed and the rest did not fit. Remember they came and made a template makes you wonder what they did with the template. So they tell my wife it will take 2 weeks to get new material and they leave. They left the work area dirty and my wife with no countertop, unable to use the sink and no stove top. Where is Lowe’s this whole time? I never heard a word from the Lowe’s store in Jefferson City, Tn. I had to call them and the sales manager was made aware of the situation, still he did not bother to call. If I had a "Manager" that acted like that he would be very short lived, and yes I have managers under me. I come home to find the walls have holes in them, cabinet tore up large sections of drywall pulled out and still nothing from Lowe’s.

    Never again, I will be CANCELLING the other projects that I have paid for. The installer called today and said the material would be expedited and finished next Friday. Hey Lowe's where you at? Do you know that information? Of course you don't because I haven't called you and told you. LOWE’S you need to understand that I have a contract/agreement with LOWE’S not the installer. So do your job and stand behind what you advertise. By the way, Lowe’s require full payment prior to any work being done, but they don't give their installers anything until they are finished, not even a draw on their money. So I wonder why they don't have top contractors. Top guys will not sign up for something like that. I would not.

Among other things, we experienced (1) incompetence of Lowe's staff during the purchase process, (2) consistent miscommunication on the availability of our units, (3) poor service through countless phone calls with their store, and (4) FOUR (yes, that's right) failed deliveries on FOUR separate days. Based on our experience, I would never recommend using this store or this company for appliance purchases.

    To start, we waited about 2 months from buying the units until receiving them. Lowe's staff promised us the units would be available in 2-3 when we purchased them, but we ended up waiting 2 months due to poor logistics and inventory management. After waiting and waiting and waiting till our units were supposed to become available, we were told the only items they would have in inventory were the floor display units. Somehow the units we bought and paid for actually didn't exist! The floor units they wanted us to buy were obviously used, scratched, and dented due to prolonged use. We sucked it up, took a very minor discount (~5% per unit), and were promised these floor units would be delivered quickly and efficiently.

    Instead of the delivery process being straightforward and structured, we had an absolute nightmare trying to get these units delivered. In total, there were 4 separate occasions where we were given a day and broad (e.g., 9am-1pm) time slot for delivery, and on EACH one the units were not delivered for various reasons. One time the drivers were not properly informed about our location, one time the drivers just failed to pick up the unit on the truck, and one time the drivers just decided that they were done for the day before 5pm.

    In every case, we were not properly informed and were left waiting around on our weekend for deliveries that did not arrive. Lowe's liked to blame their subcontractor delivery team for these issues, and not surprisingly the subcontractors were blaming Lowe's. At the end of the day, we paid Lowe's and expected them to be able to execute deliveries with whoever they work with. Unfortunately, their delivery teams are lazy, unprofessional, and terrible at communication.

    When the units FINALLY did arrive, on the 5th attempt (yes, 5 SEPARATE weekend days were spent waiting on these units), the delivery team was of course missing a few critical pieces for the install. This was even though we called customer service 10+ times, and were promised that their best people were on the job for that day. They forgot to include critical pieces on the unit (that we paid for) which were required for them to function. So again, we ended up waiting for another delivery later that day, where they provided the extra piece and FINALLY got the units working. Again, no apologies from Lowe's when this situation took place - just a confirmation that they would figure it out later in the day.

    In the face of all this **, we had countless interactions with customer service folks at Lowe's that were unapologetic and unhelpful. Not once did they volunteer to reduce the price of the units, not once did they offer us compensation for wasting our time and energy, and only after we asked directly over and over to a manager did they offer a minor discount on the units. Some of the folks there (especially at the manager level) were helpful, but everyone else that we talked to in Appliances and every delivery subcontractor we worked with was fairly ineffective and unsympathetic.

    Needless to say, we will never ever be working with this store or this company in the future. There are plenty of better options in Chicago, especially local stores on the north side of the city, so I recommend that people shop around before choosing Lowe's due to a small price difference or sale. The lack of service and poor delivery you get does NOT outweigh the potential convenience or cost savings.

    The Estero, FL, store has the worst customer service and all they do is make excuses. For years I went to Lowe's in Ohio and KY and they are great. This store in FL is absolutely the worst. I ordered a custom storm door in December. Several weeks later on Jan. 5, 2019, Lowe's called to tell me the door was in and the installer would call in 2 business days to schedule an installation date.

    On Jan. 12 I called the store to let them know I had not received a call from the contractor. I talked to door sales first and he told me I would have to call the installation dept. I said I would call right now. He said give them several hours. I asked if they were in yet and he said he didn’t know. I asked “what time they come in?” He says there are four of them and he didn’t know their schedule. I was starting to wonder what was going on by this time. I said “OK, I’ll call the Install Dept. later." He sternly said “you can’t call the installer... Besides they don’t work on Saturdays.” By this time I said “I never said I was calling the installer... I said was going to call the Install Dept (Lowe's)."

    So several hours later I called the Install Dept. and told them that I had not received a call as Lowe's had told me. The first out of this woman’s mouth was "you don’t understand all the snowbirds that are coming in now and everybody wants their job done now.” I told her “hold on... I am calling you to let you know that the installer had not called me to set up an installation date as Lowe's had told me over the phone. I did not want to get caught in the shuffle. I did not say a word about wanting my job done right now.” She then continued on the excuse making, etc like I am the problem. That’s when I lost it. This store is terrible. Home Depot is only and an additional 3 miles away.

    It's been 5 months since the stove I ordered got damaged in shipment. Lowe's called and said they couldn't order another one. I asked for a refund and they were okay, well it turns out they never did a refund. They did an exchange. There was no refund done, so my visa card wouldn't process it. I had to file a dispute over the stove I never got, still can't get Lowe's to do a refund. It will be 6 months from order till I get a refund, if I get one!!!

    After spending over $16k on my roof in Warwick, RI, water has been pouring down from behind my gutters. Lowe's refuses to take any responsibility and action to help me. It appears that the flashing and drip edge needed to guide the water into the gutters was not installed. I reported this to customer service. Yet no one from Lowe’s has ever inspected what the contractors they hired did, though they told me inspection is part of their process. No one from Lowe's has visited my home to investigate it. And no one from Lowe's management has ever called me, despite my request. Since reporting the issue, all I received was a call telling me that they will not address the issue, yet I contracted with them for a complete roofing job.

    Yes, I first contacted the roofing company. They dismissed me, saying that Lowe’s did not ask them to look at the gutters. Since when are flashing, drip edge and gutters not related to a complete roofing project? And why didn’t the Lowe’s and roofing experts ever mention any potential issue with gutters? My guess is that they ripped the old flashing and drip edge off when they stripped the entire roof. Upset and dissatisfied with the lack of attention and support from customer service, I sent in a written complaint and asked for someone higher up to contact me, not the Lowe's rep who had dismissed me. A few days elapsed before I received an email in reply, from someone that did not even give me a last name, stating that this is a serious matter for them as well, and that I would be contacted. But those are just words that have amounted to nothing. No phone calls from management followed, and no action has been taken.

    However, I did get two phone calls from Lowe’s sales team asking me if I want to hire them to completely replace all my gutters. What? I asked to speak with a management representative, but all I got was the same guy calling me once again to say it’s not their problem and calls wanting more business. With water coming off the roof and going behind the gutters instead of into them they want me to sign with them for a new project? I thought customer satisfaction was something they prided themselves in. They certainly assured me of it when they took my money. That's obviously not the case.

    Despite, in my opinion, being overcharged for the project, I still went with Lowe’s simply because they promised they are a one-stop shop and would take care of any issues that arise. They have not lived up to that promise. Being retired military and a longtime customer, I am appalled at the treatment I have received and disgusted that Lowe’s management has not contacted me. So, I am making the effort to let everyone know just how they have treated me and how they have left the project I paid them for. This is a summary of the issue and events that has been going on for many weeks. The pain still goes on every day since I must now get someone to fix all of this, which they are responsible for.

    My husband and I were planning on purchasing carpet from Lowe’s in Newport TN for the upstairs in our home and engineered hardwood for a room in our basement. We were excited because they offered free installation including moving of furniture and removal of old carpet. Plus 10 percent off. It sounded great. We had to pay 70$ for someone to come out to measure which we understood we would be refunded with our purchase. This process took a month but that was okay.

    When we met with Gerry on Saturday to finalize our purchase the price was a lot more than we expected. There were dozens of add ons including extra for the moving of "oversized furniture ". Gerry blamed this completely on the installers but they are paid by Lowe’s so that's not an excuse. None of our furniture is oversized. It's just normal furniture. Every bed and dresser in each room were extra. This was cut out and pasted at the bottom of the proposal which was strange also.

    After spending thousands of dollars at Lowe's on a home project I tried to return a couple items. Up to that point I had used my credit card for every return instead of the receipts. That worked until I got a new credit card with the last 4 digits changed. So Lowe's system wouldn't recognize the card; but it was just a couple items yet the return department won't even give me even store credit because "their system asked for a receipt." When I told them that I had the other number memorized the tuned changed to "well, we need the actual card." What a shame...the process was so degrading, as if I was doing something wrong...

    We purchased a $6000.00 deck and we got a deck that wasn't worth $1.00. The material was garbage and the workmanship was just as bad. They cheated on every part of the deck. They eliminated 1/3 of the posts. Instead of getting cement pillars they put the posts in the ground. They had only 1 post to hold the center of a 16ft square deck up. The railing where the spindles attach to the posts, you can light on both ends all around the deck. The top of railing is bowed all around. The floor is supposed to be bark side up and most are bark side down. They didn't use the metal brackets that they were supposed to use. The floor is sagging in the middle. We are still trying to get them to fix it, they said they will fix it, but it's been 18 months and it's still not resolved. We will NEVER deal with Lowe's again!!

    Let me start off by saying I have worked in sales and am very patient with mistakes, attitudes, etc. Anyway, I ordered a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher from Lowe's. I was told the arrival time would be the next day between 7am and 9am via email. That was then changed to 9:30am to 1:30pm via phone the night the order was placed even though I had already called to confirm the time that same day as I needed to make arrangements because I would only be home in the morning. I received the voicemail and was still able to make arrangements for someone to be home between 9:30am and 1:30pm. I received this call at 7:36pm that night.

    (Fast forward to the next day) Going on 2pm, no one has called or showed up. I then call to see what is going on. Long story short, after speaking with multiple people, I am told that I called the store and changed my delivery date to tomorrow which I never did. I explain I never did this and THE MANAGER goes on to tell me that they do not change delivery times and I had to have called and changed it. Again, I made several arrangements for this delivery and did NOT call and did not change the time so not only are they basically calling me a liar, they are lying to me when they clearly messed something up and then failed to notify me at all.

    I will NEVER make another purchase here again and this purchase was a pretty big one although I am sure Lowe's could care less. My complaint was handled very poorly and I am very aware the customer is not always right, but you definitely do not imply the customer is lying when I know I did not call and change the delivery date. Get it together Lowe's. Treat your customers better. Very disappointed.

    I then called Lowe’s and they said the order was coming in today and they could have it delivered tomorrow. Oh but because it was after 4pm that would not work so they could deliver it Monday. My stove, microwave, dishwasher and dryer are all disconnected and I have the gas company coming out Monday to hook-up my gas appliances.

    I ordered a dishwasher on November 23, 2018 and today is December 30, 2018. I have not received the dishwasher and canceled the order today. Let me tell you how Lowe’s don't give a ** about their customers. I am very disappointed and frustrated by their 'great' customer service. When I ordered the dishwasher on November 23, 2018 I was told by the staff that the dishwasher will arrive in a week. Ha. What a lie. A week went by and I called to see the status of the order. The staff from Home Appliance department answered the phone and told me to wait another week and that the dishwasher will be delivered. I waited and never received it. Sigh. A week went by again and I called back. The same staff again told me to wait another week.

    At this time, I was frustrated. But, I wanted the dishwasher so I calmly waited for another week. Guess what. I never received the dishwasher. So I called back AGAIN. This was 4th time calling back. I asked for the manager to talk about the dishwasher and how long it will take to get it. He said "...by end of January." EXCUSE ME? I ordered my dishwasher on November 23. Now you're telling me to wait another whole month to get it? This is ridiculous. I asked for compensation for the inconvenience services they're providing. The manager said "we cannot compensate anything until the product gets here physically". I said "okay, but I am not gonna wait for another month to get it. I want to know how much discount or money you can compensate for the inconvenience services." He said "okay man, I will make an exception for you. I will give you $150 compensation or 10% off." I said " No, but thank you." I canceled the order.

    I am very disappointed how they lied from the beginning of the time I ordered. If I had known something like this, I would have not ordered from Lowe’s. I would have ordered from Home Depot or other stores. I will never order anything from Lowe’s again. From the manager to staffs, they just don't care and provide worst customer service.

Let me tell you about my nightmare: First, they-after about 2 weeks-were finally able to get someone from one of their contractors to come out and take the measurements for the carpet. I took time off from work and met a teenager from the contract agency at the unit. I assumed that he took the necessary measurements and delivered them to Lowe's. I went to the store 2 days later to complete the purchase. First of all, I was not able to find anyone in the store that appeared to even have a clue as to what as to what I was talking about.

    I was finally directed to the Flooring department where the associate was unable to locate my account. After about 30 minutes and location of the account, I was informed that the contract agency had not put the measurements in the system and they would try to get in touch with them. After contacting them the next day, I was told that the teenager who took the measurements had failed to put the measurements in the system and had been subsequently fired from his job. I finally got a new measurement a week later.

    When I returned to the Flooring department, and explained my situation to an associate and asked them to look up the account so that I could ascertain the status, they looked at me like "a deer caught in the headlight". Finally after another manager came in, they were able to find the account. To make a long story short, we got the carpet installation scheduled, but again only after I called several times to get an installation date and threatened to cancel the order if I was not given firm confirmation. The contractors installed the carpet about 6 weeks after my initial order. The vinyl installation never happened and the associates were unable to locate the initial order or give me any updated information. I finally gave up and went with another company (50 Flooring) which completed the measurement/installation in a timely and professional manner. Never again will I deal with Lowes! Done, finished, finale!

    I ordered Black Friday deal washer and dryer (special order) and I am still waiting somebody to delivering our washer to us. Are you kidding me? Who is waiting more than a month for washer and dryer. A big shame on you. Now my delivery date is rescheduled for 12/29, but nobody guarantee that this is gonna be the exact delivery date. New homeowners with two little kids with that situation-speechless. I am curious how you guys are still on the market. SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE. A huge waste of time. Never again.

    Had bad experiences with delivery from my local store - but for real bad customer service contact Lowest's customer service. All they do is lie and tell you some time in the future someone will call you, but it never happens - buy from anyone else even if it costs more. It is worth it.

    Thought it would be a great idea to get Black Friday deals from Lowe’s... Never again will I be buying appliances from them. It has been nothing but a nightmare. I purchased an LG washer and dryer. My original delivery date was supposed to be 12/7. This date got pushed to 12/10 for the washer and 12/15 for the dryer. 12/10 comes and I have no washer because the delivery company (XPO) was having truck issues. XPO calls and rescheduled delivery for Wednesday 12/13. Nothing comes on 12/13. I call Lowe’s and they have not received the order from XPO and explain I will need to refund and rebill the washer. I go through the process of doing this and am told the washer will come on Monday 12/17.

    Meanwhile, on 12/15, I am told through automated email that my dryer will be delivered. I call a different Lowe’s store and they explain that the dryer has been cancelled and are not sure why. The store manager says he’ll look into it. On 12/17 my husband takes off of work to receive the washer but instead of a washer, comes a dryer. I call Lowe’s and they tell me they have me down for a dryer. I speak with someone in delivery (no idea how I ended up with a dryer) but happen to have a washer there and say they’ll get it out to me on Today 12/20. I call the store the morning of 12/20 because I have not received a phone call and am told delivery has not placed the washer on the truck to be delivered today. Still have no washer. I am deeply disappointed in their delivery and will NEVER order online from them again.

    Ordered a gift for my husband from Lowes.com. Paid $12.99 for 1-2 day delivery (because I need it Before Xmas and did not quite trust Lowe’s 5 day delivery.) I checked my order status today and it said “status pending”. I contacted customer service via text and was told the item was in stock at a store about 40 miles away (But I do not have car available this week) from my home but they couldn’t ship the product to the store near me or could they ship to my home but they could delivery it to my home from the store for $69.00!!! The item weights about 5 lbs. And I paid for expedited shipping. They offered to cancel the order... That was their solution!!

    I placed an order to have carpet installed in one of my rental houses for $1922 with the expectation that it would be installed in the normal 2-3 week timeline that it has taken in the past. I called and went by the store and left phone messages for someone to call me back 8 times and no one ever would to let me know when the carpet would come in or be installed. I left 3 messages for Rodney ** the store manager to call me back and he never did until I called a fourth time. I ended up talking to the CPO (Central Processing Office) 6 more times with poor customer service. They offered me what they think is compensation for it taking 8 weeks to get the carpet installed and having poor customer service. It is not even close to what it cost me for having to wait 5 additional weeks to get the carpet installed and the headaches that came along with it.

    This store is very poorly managed and many of the employees have no clue what is going on. This store and the whole experience reminds me of a Kmart. Because of all of this I will never buy carpet from Lowe's in Trussville, AL again. And will definitely tell all of my investor friends and leave every review I can to let other people know what they can expect from Lowe's and to not buy carpet there either.

    We ordered an appliance twice from Lowe's. The first time we ordered a stove. We were contacted with a delivery date 2 months after buying the stove. We called to confirm our delivery so that we could take time off work to be here... No one showed up. Turns out, Lowe's never even had the stove to deliver and the Lowe's associate told me this happens all the time with their delivery company, XPO. Second delivery date, no show. Third delivery date...the stove is broken. Only half of the stove top is working. So finally by the fourth delivery, we got a working stove.

    Now, we bought a dishwasher from Lowe's. It's been a month since we purchased it and we finally got a call that our delivery was scheduled for yesterday. Once again we called to confirm that they were coming since we need to take time off work to be here. Once again, no one showed up, no one called. When we called Lowe's to find out what was going on, Lowe's told us that they don't have our washer yet and they don't know why XPO wants to deliver. We have wasted so much time and money on trying to get an appliance delivered. Lowe's is well aware of all these problems and the associates seem frustrated as well. Yet corporate insists on using XPO for delivery and hasn't bothered to fix these major communication issues. They have lost our business for sure this time.

    Tried to place an online order for shelving with much difficulty. Finally had a customer rep process the order for me. After never receiving a confirmation I contacted customer service. They provided me with a copy of my order. After reviewing the order it was obvious a mistake had been made totaling the cost. I contacted customer service again. They asked that I forward a copy of the order which I did.

    After about 30 minutes on the phone I could never convince the rep the pricing (basic math) was wrong. She kept me on hold for 15 minutes while she checked with her supervisor. Her reply was the pricing was correct even though the paperwork showed it was not. I finally canceled the order. On top of all of this, and I certainly cannot explain, the content of the emails that were shared actually changed. Lowe’s apparently can revise emails that are both sent and received within their system. I realized this later when I went back later to re-read the emails.

    I went to Lowe’s to pick out flooring for my house. Long story short... I spent 3 months trying to get vinyl and carpet installed. The day they show up to do the vinyl, they look at my floor and refuse to do it. The reason was I had not taken up the old tile in the house. I had not had a problem before doing vinyl over old grocery store looking tile because I had done it before as I own several rental houses. The girl that measured the floor never said anything to me about removing it.

    They claimed it might have asbestos in it... which I had another flooring company come out to do the work that Lowe’s refused to do and they said if it were 9 in tiles it would have asbestos but mine were 12 in tiles. The reason Lowe’s would not do it was also because the house was built in 1903... But the tiles were not that old. It seems to me Lowe’s is very unorganized and their teams are not trained well to inform customers. I will now use only a local flooring company in the future.
