In Jan. of 2017 we purchased a Samsung clothes washer and a 3-year extended warranty. Yesterday, my wife informed me that the underside of the top-load door is rusting and the white paint raised and chipping off. This is allowing for rust to drip onto our clothes. I contacted Samsung and explained the situation. I even sent them a picture of the rust. They informed me that they would be glad to help, but since I purchased the extended warranty from Lowe's, I would have to call their repair service and report the problem. I did so, and spoke with a lady named Neisha, who told me that it was merely a cosmetic flaw, and was not covered. I believe this to be a flaw in materials and workmanship, which is covered. All I wanted was a new door so I could wash my clothes with confidence. I have always depended on Lowe's, but no more!

What's up with the Port Orchard WA Lowe's? It's really going downhill. Just came from the store and left without many items as we could not get help. I had to assist a women in a wheelchair with a part as she could find no one to help. I spent over 25 minutes in the carpeting and left without my product. The Lowe's employee in that department was a very young gentlemen who tried to assist but the carpet machine would not function. He went all over the store trying to find help but was not able to. Lowe's Port Orchard needs more employees and ones like this young man. I might have to start driving farther and go to Home Depot where I at least can get the items I need. Too bad, this used to be a great store but it seems they don't have as many workers on the floor now. I will give credit to the ones who are working as they have always been very helpful (when I can find one).

Lowe's should be absolutely ashamed to offer a delivery and installation service. Leave it to another gigantic corporation to outsource the work to inept third parties. We tried three separate times to have a simple oven hood installed. Each time the delivery persons were late. 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. This entire ordeal was so unorganized and unprofessional that I felt like I was dealing with a smaller inexperienced company! I could not believe I was be treated like this as LOWE'S!! This is completely unacceptable and for a company your size you should be ashamed!

Went to Lowe’s to replace three craftsman tools, 3/8 drive Rachet, craftsmen 9/16 gear wrench, 1 1/4 drive swivel socket. Lowe’s would not warranty any of the tools or order replacements. Was told to contact craftsmen warranty department. Attempted to contact warranty dept. Went thru four different people who could barely speak English, after an hour being put on hold gave up. Good luck trying to get warranty on these tools.

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).

Install was messed up from the start. The installer Lowe's hired cut the flooring right in the house and we had sawdust all over the house. Two years later the floor is buckling from a improper install that Lowe's contractor performed. All they will tell you is, "The install warranty period is over... Too bad." DO NOT HIRE LOWE'S OR THEIR INSTALLER TO INSTALL ANYTHING.

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.

I am a a professional house investor (over 25 years) that has seen it ALL. And been to ALL the Lowe's stores in Indiana and New York and other states. I travel out of my way to purchase from the Lowe's in Franklin Indiana. It is the customer service and Manager that gets my business (I am probably their number 1 online order customer). I do house remodeling for a living (even a well known TV show I have worked on).
I have experienced ALL the delays and excuses and screw ups you can imagine. How about sitting a table with a TV agent telling you have to buy a refrigerator or your house won't sell? 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 GOT LUCKY and found the FRANKLIN INDIANA STORE. The manager definitely treats me right. Ok, I spend THOUSANDS every month. 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. Can't always get a refund but a store credit will do for me. Thank You Franklin...your customer William **.

I ordered an Elkay LSR27224 sink on January 26, 2019. Despite many promised and failed delivery dates, I still have not received my order. I have had to initiate all inquiries as to the status of the order and when promises have been made for customer service supervisors to follow up with me with an update, zero communication. I have contacted Lowe's customer service at least 6 times and talked to 3 different supervisors and the excuse varies between the sink is on backorder and due to arrive at the distributor (H.M. Wallace) and ship next week to it just arrived at the distributor (HMW) on Friday, March 8, 2019 and will ship Monday 3/11 or Tuesday 3/12.
On Wednesday March 13 I called again because I didn't receive a tracking number as promised, I was told by the customer service agent and the supervisor they didn't like what they were hearing from the distributor (HMW), However, neither one shared what they were told. 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. "LOWE'S DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE."

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.

Am til Lowe's customer service is lacking in any service at all. After purchasing a Whirlpool Freezer for my daughter, as a gift from Lowes.com, They scheduled a delivery day and a time window of 9 am - 9 pm. 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 called the local store and spoke to 3 different managers with no solution. Later that evening, they called and said they'd send another freezer out the next day. 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. We are stuck with a dented freezer. I'm disappointed with Lowe's and if this is the customer service this company gives, I don't see myself doing business with them again.

It took the contractor 8 weeks to finish a renovation they said would take 2 weeks. 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 ordered a range along with an over-the-range microwave. I explained that I have propane gas and I paid extra for the propane conversion kit to be installed. It is on my receipt. One of the installation contractors kept calling me to say the microwave was in and to schedule installation of the microwave. She called me 3 different times. I kept explaining to her that I was waiting for the range to arrive so they could both be installed on the same day because I could only take 1 day off work. When the range arrived we scheduled installation.
The installers arrived and installed the microwave and the range but when I pointed out that the propane conversion kit needed to be installed, they said they couldn't do it. They said their paperwork did not indicate propane gas. I showed them the line on my receipt that indicated propane gas. They said it was not on their paperwork and they couldn't do it. They called their office and waited on a call back that did not come. I called the installer's office and was told they would call me back. When they called back they said they could come the next day and I yelled "No!" They hung up on me.
I called the Lowe's store I bought it from and spoke to manager Amber who again offered a next day installation. I told her if I had to take another day from work it would be for them to pick up the range and that I expected a full refund of all fees. She agreed to it but asked if she could try to get it resolved. I'm still waiting on a call back from her. This is entirely unacceptable and if Lowe's cannot find better installation contractors they should stop selling appliances.

Bought dishwasher online and set up install it would be installed 6 days later, they never came. I called, after waiting all day, they said they never have seen the order yet, because it was ordered online, so it takes a long time, Then finally got through to someone, they said they would be in touch in 48 hours, no one ever called. Then called the 800 number, they said it would be delivered in 2 weeks between 9 and 12. Just got a call at 1140 after waiting the 2 weeks and an installer said he'd be here in about 30 minutes. I'm not happy about this at all. I will try Home Depot when I need another appliance and see if they can do better. Still hasn't been delivered and really wondering if they'll come.

November 11, we went to the Norman OK store after comparing cellular blinds at other stores. I should have known better because no wants to help you but we liked the blinds and there was a good selection. We ordered and paid for installation hoping to get them installed NLT Christmas. Lowe's promised me that they could make it happen. At the time I didn't know that there was no communication between home installations and other departments. About 15 days later I called and found the blind hadn't been ordered. Finally the blinds arrived Dec. 3. I called Lowe's and the installers arrived Dec 19 and installed the blinds, they said they weren't told the blinds had been delivered until about week ago. Then they found one blind was defective and they would have to notify the store and they would reorder.
After numerous calls to installations and store managers blind was reordered on Jan. 11 and would arrive Jan 21. On and on. Blind arrived Feb 15. Called Lowe's. They would contact installer and they should be out in a week. Mar. 1. No calls from Lowe's or installer. Gave up and put it up myself. Still no calls from Lowe's, over 100 days. Again I've never had anyone ask if they could help me. You are just on your own. Lowe's has nice stuff but is not user friendly.

I was a long time Lowe's customer and had many services completed by them. I gave them a fairly simple fence project to complete for the front of my home. They botched the entire process well before the installation. They wasted 6 months of my time because of incompetence with securing a city permit and not following through at every step in the process. Even the people at headquarters lack professionalism in solving problems. I will not be buying anything else from Lowe’s, period.

Lowe's came to the house to take the measurements. We were told that as soon as the blinds were delivered to our home we would just call the store and the installer would come out right away. It took about 2 weeks longer than we were told for the blinds to arrive. Then it took 3 days for the installer to return our call, then 6 more days before he could come out and then we found out that the blinds were made too wide. They had to be re-ordered. We'll have to wait at least 2 more weeks (and hope they'll come on time), then make another appointment with the installer and wait for him to come out again. Very disappointed and not happy.

We ordered 1200$ worth of items on Lowe's website for delivery. We paid $120 for delivery of 300 boxes of tile, a bunch of drywall, and a bunch of more smaller things. Lowes.com sent us the receipt by email stating our delivery was to be fulfilled by 2 different stores, one in Gaylord, MI and one in Midland, MI. Both orders showed to be delivered 3/2/19. When we called Gaylord on 3/5/19, the lady (Wendy) stated they couldn't find the order and when she finally did, she said they did not have 300 boxes of time in stock. She said she would look into it and call us back. She called back and left a voicemail stating she refunded us the 180 boxes they did not have (without our permission) and also told us our delivery wasn't until 3/18/19.
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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wife and I had the absolute WORST experience ever working with Lowe's on a washer/dryer purchase. 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. If you're curious on some of the details of our extensive nightmare episode, please read below.
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.

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.

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.

Boy that was a mistake! 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!

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.

2nd: In October I went to the Woodlands, Texas store and wanted to buy a water heater. Lowe's took 35 dollars because they have to pay the vendors to come and check the home/heater location first.

Then almost another week later I contacted them since they didn't give me the courtesy of a call to give me an update. After much time, they finally found my estimate and I went in to pay for the sink (over my doubts and hesitations but hubby insisted they were the "best"- I wanted a 2nd opinion). A few days later - actually the day the contract said the job would be completed, is the day I called to find out what was happening.
Again... fumbling, waiting, and excuses of a new computer system (Yeah I got that excuse the first time around). Well guess what? It's almost a month since this whole process started and... crickets.

Me and my husband went to Lowe's to find a stove and we ended up finding a stove that I've been wanting - the dual oven. All the parts were in the stove when we purchased. It was what seemed like it was really good deal. Turned out to be a nightmare. The day we went to go pick up the stove they told me to call. It would be ready and waiting. We got there. Wasn't ready. We waited for an hour and a half for them to go pick up the stove. There was a older gentleman like 60 70 years old who went to go get it. He dropped it. Then we finally got it home. We noticed parts that were missing from the stove like all of the stuff they said. They weren't there. I've been dealing with this nightmare ever since. Still a month later have not got this fixed.
My receipts talk to managers. Called their corporate office. Still no response. Call them again today. Switch me from person to person and it's been nothing but I might nightmare.

Purchased a washer/dryer over the phone on a Thursday for Sunday delivery. Order to be fulfilled by the Lake Park, FL store. During the ordering process, I provided my phone number to enable customer service to contact me on Saturday to coordinate a Sunday delivery time. Saturday call never came. Called the 800.445.6937 customer service number on Sunday to inquire about the delivery time. Corporate customer service rep contacted the Lake Park store to try and reach a delivery coordinator.
I was placed on hold...for 30 MINUTES, with no incremental responses while on hold from the customer service rep explaining the reason for her absence. When the rep finally returned to the line, she indicated that she attempted to call the Lake Park store 7x before getting someone on the line. Once the Lake Park rep struggled with her store computer system to confirm my delivery time, it became apparent that she had an incorrect phone number associated with my name.
As I was starting to provide the correct phone number, I was put on hold AGAIN, mid-conversation, without explanation. I was on hold for 15 minutes before the Lake Park rep returned to the phone. While on hold again, the #800 customer service rep disappeared, apparently having chosen a stealth move of simply dropping from the call, unannounced and unnoticed. When I asked how I could escalate my customer experience to corporate, the Lake Park rep indicated she didn't know where the #800 service rep went and that she had no way of transferring me to a corporate resource.
Total experience = 60 minute phone call to confirm the delivery time of my washer/dryer, 45 minutes of which were spent on hold with no explanation. Dear Lowe's, your customer experience is damaging your brand. Take a hard look and analysis of your customer agent SLA's and repeat customer revenue. I suspect this correlation will be eye-opening (if not already known, but not prioritized by your leadership team). You have the data, you have the tools, you have the ability to do better but have chosen a path that has only deteriorated the experience of customers who have a choice to go elsewhere. Your customers, your market share, your choice. I'm making my move and never returning to your brand.

Purchased appliances end of October that their delivery team continually messed up. We'd wait all day and no one would show. I called the next day and was told we'd receive a new date.

Contacted them on FB to let them know I wouldn't be home Saturday until 5 pm. They say they'll take care of it and provided local delivery department's phone #.
Saturday came and driver calls at 6:45 pm to say he'll be delivering in 15 mins. Great! But then he never shows up. Next day I called the local Lowe's delivery department asking what happened and that this headache was no longer worth it. Delivery manager offers 10% off the entire order if he can deliver right then. I said ok and waited for them. They showed up and again said, "We'll give you 10% off the entire order, please sign here accepting delivery." 10 days pass and we never get the discount. I called and was told that because I had already received a 10% veteran discount that they cannot apply the additional 10% they promised. Lowe's is scamming veterans and this one will no longer shop there after being loyal, enjoying the veteran discount, for years.

On April 11, 2018 we had a Lowe's specialist come out and give us an estimate for a wood fence to be installed, We thought the price was fair, and he made Lowe's out to be the best company with the best workers, so we were very happy to have this done. He gave us about a 3 month date before they can have installers here, and went through all the information about the pricing, warranty and guarantees, and the most important thing that needs to be said is he told us that once the fence is installed within 8 months we need to stain it. I know for people in this field would know this is wrong, we did not know this. This is relevant for what is going to happen.
I'm always busy, and always gone, so I had to have my Mother take care of everything while I was in Florida. After the fence install was done, she sent me the pictures. I couldn't believe the shoddy workmanship. When I got back home, I sent the pictures to Lowe's and our project coordinator. They agreed to have someone come back and fix the issues.
The first 3 pictures is the finished product just a day after the install, and I can honestly tell you the pictures don't nearly show the terrible install. The gate was completely uneven that the gate wouldn't stay shut. My dogs would just push open the gate. The post on the back gate was cemented into the ground with a huge split in it.
After a few weeks more, they had come to repair the fence. I was back in Florida so I couldn't see the results, My mother said they had been there to repair everything. I get back and I'm absolutely floored. The last of the pictures are the results of the fix. They did absolutely nothing, but move the hinge up on the gate so it will stay shut, and added a board to the gate, and put 1 screw into the post with a split in it.
I called again, and they asked us about the stain, we told them we stained it about a few months later, and they immediately have found their way out of this horrible install. They told me it was suppose to be stained within 3 weeks, I said that's not what the guy who sold us this fence said, he told us within 8 months, and they said he wouldn't say that, but he did say that. So, we are now dealing with an issue with voiding our warranty because we didn't stain it within 3 weeks. For a month we had called to get this fixed, no one was calling us back, no one was answering our questions, so I called and demanded to talk to a supervisor.
I explain the entire situation to her, she claims that someone left a voicemail for my mother about staining the fence within 3 weeks, she never received any such thing, then they said she told them that everything was fixed when they came to repair the fence. I told them that is not true, and she argued with me over those 2 details. My mother never said they fixed it, she did agree that they did show up and work on the fence. I told her we had no idea it was suppose to be stained within 3 weeks that's not what we were told. Again, they claim we were left a voicemail. She even went as far telling my why didn't I google it, I am not kidding on this. I told her, "Why should I google anything when it's your responsibility to inform the customer." And we were given the wrong information.
She is claiming all of this is because of us not staining it soon enough, and we voided our warranty. I said, "This is because of bad installers, and stain has nothing to do with the huge split in the wood," and she said, "Yes it does, that's why it's like that." I told her to go back and look at the pictures. Those pictures were taken the 2nd day after the install.
So, after many calls, someone finally gave us a direct number to our Project Coordinator that we didn't have before. My Mother started calling, and calling, and calling, and leaving voice mails, and no response, no return calls, no nothing. So I called, and told them, "I don't have the time to take out of my day to deal with this, something has to be done." Finally, she returned her call. And promised to have someone come out and look at it.
I was gone, so I had to have my Mother wait at my house for them to come, she had other things to do but cancelled her morning to wait for them. After waiting within the 3 hour time given, no one had showed up, she called and told them she had to leave in the next couple hours, they called, no one answered the phone. This happened the entire time, they kept calling and no one would answer. She had to leave and this is 2 hours later than the time they told us someone would be there. Later we called and they said someone came there and fixed the issue. I got home, looked at the fence and post, nothing was done. Same thing. We have security cameras everywhere, I viewed the footage and 1 guy came, he measured the fence and left. That was it.
After calling them back, we were now told that the installer said that due to not having it stained within in time that is the reason why the fence is warping and bending and everything. I told them, "Look at the first set of pictures I sent. That is not due to stain or weather or anything, it was taken the same day it was put in." How can they blame it on that. So, again we keep calling and leaving messages to have this done.
Finally, I guess they got tired of us calling, they had someone come out to fix the issues. Again, my mother had to be here, they showed up, but said the fence post with a split in it was not on the work order. They did fix the gate, and I will say did an excellent job on doing it, but look what it took to get that far. We are now calling to get this post fixed. We called and left messages on our project coordinators voice mail for 3 weeks with no return calls. I called another number to find out why no one will talk to us, they said that person no longer works in that building, and we were given a new project coordinator, I said it would have been nice to have been informed of this. And they said they left us a voicemail, and again, another voice mail we did not get.
So, we start calling our new project coordinator, and again, a few weeks in, several calls later, no response, no return calls. After I left a polite message in a very angry voice, I got a call early in the morning while I was still in bed. Checked the voicemail and was told that the post is not in warranty because it's normal for wood to crack and split. I'm furious at this point. I call back minutes after he woke me up, and he wouldn't answer the phone, so I left another voicemail explaining this split looks like someone took an ax to it. this is not weather but poor workmanship. Look at the pictures from day 1, and the 1st repair and it's the exact same post, with the exact same split. they should have never installed that post with a huge split in it.
I never received a call back to this day of writing it. After calling different 800 numbers, we finally got someone to help us, and set up a time for someone to come look at the post and give an estimate. I decided to free my day up, stay here and make sure this got done. And I can promise you this is not an easy thing for me to do, taking a day off shouldn't even be on my agenda ever. They were suppose to be here Tuesday December 4th. NO call, NO show. Called them and they informed us that they no longer use those contractors and have new ones who will come out on December 7th, I take off another day, I want to be here and make sure it gets done. Guess what, no call no show, They say they have left a few voicemails but are not returning their calls.
Sorry for the long read, but this is what we have been dealing with this past year. They will not call, they will not show up, they will not honor anything. You may be lucky and have a good install done, this is just my own nightmare. I'm still fighting to get this fence installed. With a cost of nearly 7k to have this installed there is absolutely no excuse for such shoddy work and poor work ethics and horrible customer service.

Updated on 12/09/2018: Lies, still waiting for my NEW Washer that I bought!--- Sunday Delivery was promised, nothing today!
Original Review: Whirlpool Washer. Bought 12.3.18 in store-$429. Delivery was set for 12.4, get it on 12.6. Came off truck open- not in box, I opted to install, and noticed water coming out of drain when cover was removed. Called Westinghouse, they don't ship tested with residual water in it. Also upon a closer look one side is not right where the metal along the side is caved in. This has definitely been somewhere else and was a return? Asst. Mgr said will replace with new and will get one scheduled, and will call to let me know. Nothing about being "sorry", no offer of discount, and no mention that the price is now $398. Had to track the Mgr down by visiting the store in person since no call back was received, and they acted like they were doing me a favor.
Major lesson - Make sure it shows up still in the box, don't fall for "we stage it for quicker delivery before we get there". Nothing wrong with this model, I leveled to the floor and I don't get any noise, and if you follow the manual for size loads, it doesn't use that much water. Anyway, I don't expect Lowe's to actually keep this post live, so I will be reposting to as many forums as I can. Sad someone made a decision on what to do with this unit, just glad I did the install because it never would have been discovered otherwise.

On the sixth day I called the store and was told it was backordered and no information on when they would get it. The customer service clerk told me she could call the supplier and get back to me in about an hour. Never got a call. So next day I went to the store with my order confirmation printed. They looked the order up and said it was canceled because I couldn't wait for delivery. That never happened. I would have never known the order was canceled with no call or email notification.

You are fine as long as you can get everything that is in box when bought the drill. You can get a in store credit." I get there. The lady I spoke with is nowhere to be found so another snotty nose lady helped me but says, "No sir. We can't return the drill with a valid receipt." We argue back and forth.
I ask for manager and she is even worse than first **. Didn't even want to attempt to return it when I figure out I wasted 2 1/2 hours for lies. The lady asked me for my driver's license, Punches couple keys on keyboard then says "does it surprise you that we are unable to track your purchase". I frankly said, "Hell I don't know. You're the manager. I'm the customer." So she gives me a slip of paper and says, "Call this number to see what they can do." Very rude manager. So I walk out door, put the drill in my vehicle and call the number provided. Hoping they could resolve this matter (another unsuccessful attempt) I walk back inside Lowe's lumber yard to glance around. Clear across the store from customer service.
Here comes the 2 ladies who were very rude. They stare at me like I'm a criminal that's going to rob the store. I walk past them and go to the tool world to glance around while still talking to customer care. I glance at the ladies staring holes through me and I tell the gentleman trying everything he think of to actually help me how they are starting me down 5 people in a group. So I pick up a item that's had label you're off sticker area and hold up lady runs over, "Yes you need help." I ask how much is the cost of the item. She scans. Tells me. I say, "Oh ok" and put it on the shelf. I walk off. Here comes the 2 ladies back down staring at me whole time and in passing the head cashier says, "Hope you have a great day."
I'm thinking to myself really after the lousy service you provide me with you make that comment. Then I see something that caught my eye so I stop to look at the tool set and the guy and girl that the ladies were talking to walk up, "Yes sir. Can we help you find anything." I flat out say, "What? You feel like I need help now?" while think hm where were you when I was in the tool section. The guy says, "I thought you might need assistance." I tell him point blank, "No you, your Coworker, your manager and your head cashier think I am in here stealing stuff" while pulling out 350-400 dollars cash and state, "If I want something I will pay for it" and he get offensive and says something and walks off.
The crazy thing is I'm on phone with Lowe's while all this Happened. 33 minute conversation. So my outcome was no Lowe's within 20 miles of my zip code had sold a 24 volt Kobalt brushless motor drill between 11-1-2018 and 12-2-2018. So I'm still stuck with heavy drill and hopes of a phone call from the contact center. I mean I know you can not give a cash refund to me without a receipt but no store credit. I mean my drill is still in immaculate condition. Like it was bought today and can't get a store credit to go choose a different drill (lightweight).
I am very disappointed in the service all the way around and I advise everyone to boycott Lowe's. My 1 question is from 4 Lowe's within 20 miles hasn't sold not 1 drill in a month's time frame 11-1-2018/12-2-2018. I really believe that is the system. I am positive that I purchased the drill 5 days ago and I am just as positive I know which Lowe's I went and spent the cash 160$ at. I am no longer shopping there if problem can't be resolved.

I purchased an item online and the website was being very glitchy. I wanted the free delivery but it defaulted to in-store pick-up. I tried to reach customer service to see if it could be fixed, but no one responded. I figured "fine, I'll just go get it even though it is really out of the way." I picked it up and they had a piece of paper with my information taped on the front. After I got it home, I discovered they had hidden a huge crack with the paper (cute). I contacted customer service, whose advice essentially boiled down to "fix it yourself." They would not arrange to have a replacement item waiting when I made the return because "we do not ship between stores," nor would they fix the issue on their end.
I had to re-order the item or drive an hour away to find it at another store. I will need to return this item and ask for a refund in person and then replace the item myself. Someone at Lowe's needs to take an internship at someplace like REI and learn what customer service looks like. Lowe's "customer service" is basically someone who tells you that they don't have customer service, but you can probably handle it by yourself. This is why I shop at Home Depot. Seriously not buying from Lowe's again. The sale for this item was half off, but I still wish I had paid full price somewhere else.

I purchased a Snow Blower two years ago at the Lowe's in Timonium, MD. I was concerned that there was no way to drain the gas - or even shut it off - as I always shut the gas off to stop the engine. That way the carburetor doesn't get gunked up. The salesman suggested I buy the "protection" plan. I spent another $100 to be sure that If there was any problem, I was covered. I used it that winter (once) with no issues. I put stabilizer in the fuel. The next year - it wouldn't start at all. I brought it back to the store and they said that fuel related repairs were not covered, but that I had to pre authorize any repair before the unit was sent out - not! They said that the lack of fuel related issues coverage was listed in the fine print of the agreement. But if you look on their website under extended protect plans/Outdoor Power Equipment this point is not mentioned anywhere. Lowe's has lost my business forever!

I've always preferred Lowe's to their competitors but after this experience never again. I purchased a washer/dryer and set up to have them delivered through their delivery service contractor. The night before they called around 8 pm with a delivery time frame between 3-7 for the next day which was kinda weird. I mean talk about last minute. The next evening 630 pm no one has showed up or called. So I call and they explain, "The driver is running behind. He'll be there by 730 pm."
Then 830 pm rolls around. Once again no one has showed up or called so I call back a bit frustrated this time and they tell me, "Sorry the driver can't work any more hours. We'll deliver it 2 days from now." Lol. At first I thought this must be a joke. I've never had customer service this bad. I wasted my Saturday night with my kids waiting around on this delivery. My old washer/dryer is disconnected sitting outside, and my door is off the hinges all to make the delivery easy for them. Then they conveniently wait until the store is closed so I can't call and give them a piece of my mind to tell me, "Sorry we'll deliver it 2 days from now!"

We paid over $40k cash upfront for a complete master bath remodel. Shown the video about what to expect during remodeling, possible delays, etc. My husband and I understand delays are inevitable in any remodeling project. We have remodeled our kitchen, powder room, all flooring, and staircases in the home. This is our first, and LAST remodeling project with Lowe's. The demolition has been the only thing finished on schedule. Actually, that started a day late, but whatever.
September 23rd was first demo day. They took the bathroom down to the studs, but we were not moving any plumbing locations or changing the footprint. The first week, the electrician and plumber come out to rough in everything. Then, the plumber doesn't want to use the shower drain that Lowe's ordered, because he's not familiar with it. Lowe's says they will have to reorder a different one. 3 weeks later, Lowe's and the plumber finally agreed the original drain could actually be used. Why a 3 week delay???
So then, next up is the flooring and tile work. They also moved in our new cabinets. Why no one came to measure for the countertops during the 2 weeks the cabinets were there is beyond me. We get a call from the countertop company AFTER the tile work is done for the shower and walls that they need to measure. So, only they don't reach me or my husband when they call, so they don't even leave a message or try to call again. They just said we never called them back, so that was another 3 day delay in getting the measurements.
Measurements finally get done, installer says 7-10 days for fabrication, then ready to install. Today marks 16 days since the measurement, and the GC emailed me 2 days ago to see if we had an installation date yet for countertops. Excuse me, why is the General Contractor expecting us to chase down the subcontractors? Why are they not communicating directly with the installers?
So, today, we receive a voicemail from the countertop installer that the material for the countertops won't be in until 6 more days, at which time they will get it fabricated and installed. Saying something about the wrong material came in the first time. So, right now, we have no countertops, no sinks, no toilet installed, no tub installed, no shower finished (that will be another 3 weeks to get the glass for the shower fabricated, and I'm certain they won't measure that until the last possible second). Next week will be 11 weeks in, probably still 2 more weeks til countertops installed. We are realistically looking at January for completion, IF there are no further delays. Which would be 3 1/2- 4 months. We were given an initial estimate of 6-8 weeks. Lowe's response to our complaints has been, "We told you to expect delays." Very disappointed in the process and would not recommend their remodeling services to anyone we know.

A year ago, Lowe's installed a new floor in our home. We paid promptly. The floor is defective. We've been trying for a full year to get Lowe's to fix the floor, dozens of letters, phone calls and emails, and they ignored us. Lowe's contracts have a clause forbidding the customer from suing them. We finally demanded arbitration as required by the contract, and still they refused to respond. Out of desperation, we finally sued. The judge sympathized and agreed with us, but ruled that Lowe's clause is enforceable even if they ignore us. So we're completely stuck. Anyone doing business with Lowe's should be aware that when they screw up, you are also screwed. All they have to do is ignore you.

Do not even consider doing business with them. I purchased a refrigerator from their online store for Saugus, MA. I cannot list in this space the continual errors in not delivering because they really didn't want to... but gave some lame excuse. And then trying to reach them by phone, a total of 23 calls made within 5 hrs and they don't even answer the phone in Saugus. I must have spoken to 10-12 people who didn't have a clue as to what was going on, and all stories they told were contradictory to another version by another employee. The delivery company was even bad mouthing them to me saying all customers complain, which I see evidenced in the *rating* and thousands of negative reviews.
They even screwed up the return amount, which they credited me for was $118 less than what I paid!!!

Our Lowe's Store here in South Columbus, Ohio has posted a 90 Day carpet replacement warranty in their carpet department. The Warranty simply states that if you are not satisfied with your Stainmaster carpet purchase of color, style, or design, after 90 Days, Vista (a sole alliance with Lowe's) will replace it with any other Stainmaster carpet. NOT TRUE! They will only replace it with a style of their choice (Not Yours). I know this to be true because this is what I experienced with a recent Stainmaster carpet purchase. It makes one wonder if they post these false statements, and they claim to have a multi year carpet warranty, what is the warranty really worth? Never again will I purchase any carpet or major product from Lowe's.

For any big-box stores who can't figure out why consumers are flocking to Amazon, you might want to review your idiotic policies. I was shopping for an impact drill online. So, I figured I'd check out Lowes. While on their site, up popped one of those folding ladders - something we had thought about buying for my pa-n-law for Xmas. I clicked on it, and it fit the bill, plus it was discounted from $149 to $89. I put it in my cart along with the drill and proceeded to check out. Roadblock... I could pick up the drill, but the ladder had to be delivered - there wasn't an option for me to pick it up. Ok, well, whatever - I didn't even know they delivered. So, I finished my purchase, paid for everything and went on my way.
When checking out, I gave the my 'landline' number, as you know how businesses they like to capture phone number and email, and then bug you all the time. It was delivered, like the very next day. Wow! Great service. Today, a week later, I check my phone messages, and there's a message from Lowes. "I have your order here for delivery, just wanted to make sure you understood, you'll be charged $59 for the delivery of the $89 ladder "What?” I swear there was no clear indication of a delivery fee, let alone the actual fee - or I wouldn't have bought the damned ladder! The delivery fee ate up the entire savings. Note to self - just buy from Amazon and forget Lowe’s. I'll never shop at Lowe’s again.

1st let me point out that sales and the installation was wonderful. But of course installation is done by private contractor. Even though 2 months before we had arranged for the time of delivery, because I am a school bus driver, and I could only accept delivery between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. when it came time for delivery it did not happen. It was a joke you would think a 3rd party delivery company with answer to Lowe's. However I was told by Lowe's that they do not answer to them in any way, shape or form. They do their own thing.
Now if I worked for Lowe's I would be fired for that kind of attitude I would think. After probably about 5 to 6 hours on the phone and a good 10 to 12 hours of wasting my precious valuable time waiting, it was finally delivered.

So I usually don't do this, but I am so disgusted and irritated. If anyone is thinking about getting flooring, DO NOT USE LOWE'S!! Or if you are loyal to Lowe's, find out who they are going to subcontract to. If it is Service Pros, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! We went to Lowe's for a flooring install to finish our basement. Service Pros was the subcontractor. The install team was in and out in a day for a fairly large square footage job. Looked good. The next day the floor molding started popping off the walls. When Lowe's called my husband told them and it was noted. Within the next few days the floorboard ends and edges in one big area began to push against each other and raise. And no, the humidity in our basement was not above normal. We called Lowe's, and at first it seemed like they were going to be very helpful to get this corrected.
Service Pros sent their installer back to look at it. He spent maybe 10 minutes there, pulled more floorboard off our wall and damaging it, then left. He reported back it was nothing he did. Lowe's had someone from the flooring manufacturer come to inspect the flooring and they deemed it an INSTALLATION ISSUE. THEN Service Pros sent someone from their Admin Office to inspect. He right off the bat said it was an INSTALLATION ISSUE. The flooring was not done right and even told us this guy just got busted doing another job wrong. Well when this happened the Service Pros install guy lied and said we left a window open and moisture got in and caused the damage.
Now, up to this point it seemed like Lowe's was being helpful. Lowe's told us that because both reports say the cause was from an install issue that if they can't get Service Pros to fix the flooring, that they would get someone else to do it. So then there was more back and forths and promises that they (Lowe's) were going to make it right.
At the very end we were told that Service Pros agreed to work with Lowe's and fix the problem and we should get a call. Thank goodness! 4 months and we came to a solution... Call never came. Called Lowe's, the service rep. had no documentation in our claim about any of what was going on. They also reached out to Service Pros who said they didn't know anything about it. Today Lowe's called my husband and told him they are not fixing the floor.
SO THIS IS FOR ANYONE OUT THERE THINKING ABOUT GOING TO LOWE'S FOR FLOORING, DON'T! ESPECIALLY IF THE USE SERVICE PROS! As far as I'm concerned, both companies are a bunch of liars. Service Pros doesn't care and Lowe's doesn't back their customers up. They fed us a bunch of BS stringing us along for 4 months telling us this is an install problem and it will be fixed no matter what. Come to find out Lowe's wasn't documenting anything when we called in. Apparently the report from Service Pro went missing, along with the man that came out to do it who said from the get go it was wrong. Lowe's will not be getting any more of our business. Feel free to pass this along. If it can save someone else the BS we just went through, then this rant was well worth it!!

I am done with LOWE'S. DONE. Over the past 10 years and 3 homes I have spent tens of thousands of dollars at your location on Lane Avenue in Jacksonville FL. My husband an electrician will no longer be spending his money for tools at your stores. We are DONE. The final straw started Saturday 11/10/18 @ 2 pm in the afternoon.
I went to your store on Lane to purchase a small amount of pavers and sand at a cost of over 500.00. That’s a lot of money to me. Is it you? I had hired someone to come install the sand and pavers for me in the rear of my property. I picked out what I wanted and went the service desk and placed my order. I made SURE everything was in stock... "Oh yes ma`am. I was told we have what you need. Is delivery on Tuesday ok." Yup perfect. I told the young lady great. It's going to rain late Wednesday and the rest of the week and I need it installed asap so it would not be a muddy mess in my yard and I have guests coming for the holiday.
I paid and left with my receipt expecting a call (I give my work and cell number) Tuesday for delivery. I get a call Tuesday only to tell me they don’t have what I ordered in stock?!?! WHAT I said I was assured it was in stock. I got several excuses that mean nothing to me as a customer… I don’t care about your supplier had I known I never would have purchased the pavers from you and gone to another store or a competitor. I specifically went in to MAKE 100% sure you had the product. Now I am not getting delivery on time to install. It's going to rain and be a muddy mess AND my guests arrive on Friday for Thanksgiving and I cannot use my back patio. It's going to be a MUDDY MESS. I was offered no solution other than I will have to wait. Maybe Thursday they will get a delivery. MAYBE!?!?! This is not working for me at all.
I hang up defeated and then start to mull it over. This is not right. I paid for a product I want what I was promised. I call to speak to the store manager who by the way NEVER seems to be in at all. I get passed to an assistant manager ** who tells me he is going to make this right. He called other stores on Tuesday 11/13/18 to find my product. Take note he calls me back on my cell number and he has my work number, this is important later in my complaint. He calls me back, "Yup we found some." I only ordered 80 of these not like 500 so why it was so hard to get these is beyond me. They will call me Wednesday and arrange delivery.
Wednesday comes 10 am still no call. I call the store and am told someone will call me when they are out for delivery. 2 pm comes still no call. I call again to speak to the store manager **. ** again is not in... is ** EVER IN? I get passed to some poor fella who tells me he is a manager. I ask him what manager he says the service manager. I tell him he is not who I want to speak to. I want the store manager. What kind of a Circus is going on at this store. He finally offers to find ** for me. He does and I hold for 15 min before I hang up and go about my day. Now really pissed.
** calls me on my cell phone, I tell him I got no call for delivery. ** says, "Well we tried to call you but the number we have is not good." He reads me back a number I have not had for over 10 years. BUT YET he called me on my correct number. I also pointed out the delivery person ** called me TUESDAY on my cellphone and got me no problem to tell me no delivery and no product. WHY has no one called me. He then said that is ok anyway... NO ITS NOT. The product was delivered well great too late in the day. Can’t be installed and it's going to rain and NO ONE offered anything for my inconvenience and problems. NOTHING offered to the customer. NOTHING. So here I am it's raining and no installation is going to happen.

I will be going there from here on out. This was unacceptable, and I was not treated like a valued customer. After this I did google LOWE'S. Complaints appears, I am not the only one done with you. It used to be a great place to do business. I don’t know what you changed in your business plans, but the store and service is nonexistent. NO one knows their head from their behind.

Can't thank Lowe's enough for offering a 10% off for Veterans. We've purchased thousands of dollars of items from Lowe's over the last 20 years and we've never had a bad experience. We have built several homes and we do a lot of gardening so Lowe's is always our go to store. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews but I think more people will speak up to report the bad than they are to commend. I myself will do both but in the case of dealing with Lowe's and at multiple locations I feel they are top notch. Again thank you for recognizing our Veterans and offering a 10% discount as a thank you to them.

I went there to pick out laminate tile from the flooring dept. I was told by the cashier I can get 10 percent off with my purchase of 286. But I had to get their credit card first. Sent to customer svc. 2 men were chosen to be waited on before me... one on each side. A guy came in same time as me, and one after. I was humiliated, everyone around me noticed. After 20 min. I fill out the c.card info. Go back to cashier line - told I can't get the deal. Go back to svc - told they can't do it. I finally call in tears. The woman hears my story... apologized. Nothing is done for me. Workers are mostly men... unprofessional, judgmental, unfriendly, seem to hate their job. I also overheard them laughing & talking about a female coworker! I never felt so out of place in my life. No one seemed to know anything about the specials, product knowledge. What a joke. I ended up going to Home Depot and getting a better tile at a lower price!

We had purchased a new home that is located close to Lowe's. We had ordered new windows to replace our old ones. We have dealt with Lowe's for a long time, even though we knew they aren't all that good. They are close and convenient though. We were suppose to have the windows on the 4th of November, so about a month. The windows just come in this morning, on the 13th. It's starting to be cold and giving snow so we wanted the windows to be done fairly soon. We had received a call about the installation this morning and we were told they could install them next month, in December. So we told them we will call them back to set it if we decide to let them do it because it shouldn't take that long to install windows.
We had gotten another call from someone at Lowe's about the windows. The guy was calling asking if we were okay about the installation date. Which we are not so we told them we will call back if we decide it is okay and to tell the guy that we went through to get the windows that we are considering a refund on the labor. The guy on the phone told us, his exact words were, "You will not get your money back for labor." So we have to pay for labor we aren't getting? Lowe's is a joke, go anywhere besides Lowe's because they are useless and need to be put out of business. After reading reviews, a lot of people are saying they do a bad job at installing things. Why should we give so much money for horrible installation? Because if we can't get a refund on labor, we should get the labor done. But, the labor is horrible, why pay for it?

We decided to go with Lowe's instead of Home Depot back in September of 2017 and it was the worse experience ever. The installer the 3rd party that Lowe's contracts with Legacy left sawdust all over my back porch. They broke a vase in the living. They also had to do some gridding to level out the floor and did not cover up my furniture (cement dust everywhere, I had to hire a cleaning crew to come clean up). Dug tire tracks in the grass by drive on it. They did not brace up the pedestal sink after putting in the flooring and the sink fell off the wall. (I had to pay to get that reattached by a real plumber.) They reinstalled the toilet in the bathroom at doing the floors only to have it leak slowly because it was done wrong and cause the floor in the bathroom to buckle and have to be replaced again.
Then they did not no longer cared the same flooring, so we ended up with a different flooring downstairs in the bathroom. The rest of the downstairs looks the same. When I reported the leak to Legacy Floor and Lowe’s in February 2018 they did not come to ripe out the flooring until May 2018 after I called them 7 times to do something. Every time I called Legacy would blame Lowe’s and Lowe’s would blame Legacy for delays on getting my floor in the bathroom floor fixed. I finally got my floor fixed and they said they would compensate me but it has been a month now and I finally had to call Lowe’s to remind them. In short no one ever calls you back at Lowe’s. Once you have paid your money you're just another number.
I have another project that is really big dealing with flooring but I will not call them. By the way when you go to the flooring depart at the Lowe’s off of Glenwood Road in Raleigh NC they act like they really do not want to help you. Lowe’s CPO is a joke. They have only one person over there that cares about the customers. The one shining light is that Legacy has a guy by the name of Wes that works in financial depart that is really good at his job and believes in helping customers. Thanks Wes... I would never do another project with Lowe’s for home improvement with my house.

My wife and I went to Lowe's today in Columbus, Ga (6750 Veterans Parkway). We had split up and the front door. We met at cash register and my wife came up with a cart of potted flowers; she said they were 75% off from the price of $12.98. As we paid the women at the cash register she charged us the full price, but wife told her it was on a table that say all flowers 75% off. The cashier dismiss my wife by saying "If it was they would have a sticker on it"; She didn't call anyone to check just dismissed my wife like she was stupid. I wasn't going to argue and my wife liked the flowers so I paid the prices for 4 of them at $51.92. Before we went out the door I told my wife to stand by the cash register and I will go to the garden area and check.
I stop a Lowe's clerk on the way there and we headed to the lawn section. Yes these flower were 75% off. He escorted me to return desk and told the Clerk that the flower I paid for was 75% off. Now here the real bad part. As we stood there the clerk, my wife and I there were three ladies behind the return counter. One on the phone and the other two doing NOTHING. Finally one decided to help us, and you know what she did? Sent a person to go to the lawn section and check. I just had a clerk there telling her that the flowers were 75% off. So, now I'm waiting for this clerk to get back, listening to the other clerk get nasty to a customer on the phone. Well the clerk showed up and said that the flower were 75% off and the people in back hadn't tagged all the price tags.
The clerk behind the counter with my receipt in her hand started looking around for someone to authorized my refund, she turns around to the store side of the counter and start helping another lady. What the hell? Well someone finally authorized my refund and I'm ask if I want cash or in place onto my debit card, I ask for cash back. I should have done that because that seem to take forever. I know $43.00 is not a lot to LOWE'S but it a lot for me.

I made arrangements for babysitter and family to help move furniture and other items to make delivery and installation an easier process for Lowe's delivery team. All my arrangements were completed the morning of delivery day. I received an email from Lowe's later in morning stating my stove would not be delivered. The stove was not in store and delivery rescheduled for November 11th 2018. I called GE company and very nice CSR told me that Lowe's lying. Stove had been delivered and GE notifies Lowe's at least 2 weeks or sooner if product delayed.
My existing stove quit two days before the first confirmed delivery date. I complained to local Lowe's and corporate headquarters. Lowe's did send a stove that I could use until rescheduled delivery date. It has been an ordeal. Here I sit on rescheduled delivery date and haven’t heard anything from Lowe's...no phone call and/or email. I explained to Lowe's management that their process for delivery needs to be changed. I wouldn’t be as upset if lowes notified me at least one day before about delivery date. I have other issues with Lowe's about the delivery fiasco but too long to write. I will be shopping at Home Depot from now on. Lowe's has lost my business.

Absolutely the worst experience you can ever imagine. We purchased 30 windows for our home and contracted with Lowe’s to have them installed by one of their subcontractors White Glove. The windows were installed incorrectly which Pella the manufacture verified. It took many phone calls, emails, to finally have them reinstalled. Almost two years later and our home is still not complete because of the delay. Because of the delay in the renovations to the house we lost a considerable amount of money.
After months of going back and forth with executive office and promises for compensation, we received nothing. They just kept dragging us along hoping we would go away. I just hope no one ever has to endure what we did and would advise you to shop elsewhere, where there are contractors who know how to do home renovations and not have to watch a YouTube video to install doors and windows. Don't make the same mistake we did, ask for references, make sure the contractor you use is licensed insured and has documentation to prove so.

Our journey started on 11th of March 2018, in which we were lowered into the Lowe's abyss. My wife (we can call her Denise - I do) and I stopped into our neighborhood Lowe's to look and maybe purchase Kitchen cabinets. We were meet by a very nice and helpful salesperson, Passha **. She helped us pick out the cabinets we liked, completed our floor plan in CAD, that I supplied her. She also helped us pay for our cabinets and Granite countertops at the help desk. Passha stated “we would still have to call two companies to complete our delivery and installation”. One for cabinet delivery and after the cabinet were delivered and installed. The other we needed to call, make an appointment (in Orlando) show up and pick our granite slab we wanted for our counter. To which we did both.
Fast forward three months, Kitchen was ready for cabinets to be delivered on a Thursday 5th of July. The day came and the delivery people show up. They were professional, but this is when the confusion began. 41 boxes were supposed to be delivered, but to no avail. They only left 39 boxes. After they left, we found Two boxes were missing. I called the delivery company right away, but they could not help us. We had to call KraftMaid direct. They were unable to help us either, until they investigated. To add to the situation, since one of the lower cabinets was one of the missing, we could not schedule the countertop measuring until all the lower cabinets were delivered and installed.
Meanwhile one of the upper cabinets was found to be to large 41 x 39 inches (the space was only 37 inches) and did not fit. So we called our Lowe's, spoke with Passha again, and ordered 1- 36" cabinet, 1- 41' Spacer and another kickboard (we did not have enough of either) went in, paid and to have them delivered to the store.
Weeks went by, then the delivery company called and would be delivering our two missing cabinets Tuesday, July 26th. To save time, we went back to Lowe's and ask them if they can call the counter company? Have them schedule to come out and make a template and they do. They came to our home on July 31st as promised, very friendly and precise. Meanwhile, we are still awaiting our special order cabinet to arrive. Cannot write the rest of the story. Bottom line the counter installers cannot come until Aug 21st a full month after they measured ~un f'en believable. After repeated calls and visits, we receive a text message from a Lowe's associate, stating “that our cabinets were in”. Saturday August the 4th. We stopped in the Lowe's at the pick-up desk and inquired about our delivery.
The young man behind the counter could not find anything under our name on the computer system, except an order from 3 years ago. I told him that we would go to the cabinet area and see if they could check and see where they were. When we went back to the kitchen area there was no one around (it was early in the morning), so we stopped an appliance person and asked for help. He took our information and made a call. Upon his return he stated that “they were not doing any installation and that it was a mistype”.
I explained to him that we were here to pick up our special order, not get installation. He left again and a half hour later he came back with 3 boxes. I told him that he is missing one box (the kick plate) we ordered. He left and returned again with the long box stating they were nowhere near each other. We thank him profusely and left with our items. I placed a call Monday August 6th, to the Counter installation company to see when we could set up installation of the granite counters, since they never called us. The women I spoke to said “she needed to find out first if they still had the granite slab my wife had picked (My Wife Took Picture of the Slab she picked) out months ago and will call me back”.
Since she did not return my call, I called her back. I called her, Thursday morning August 9th again but she was not there, the man who answered, took my name and said “he would have her call”. She did in fact call that afternoon with installation date of 21st of August, almost a full month after they measured. I ask if this was the earliest? She said “Yes”. I do not know about others but literary 5 months have gone by without a kitchen since we started this project. Some from our end, but mostly from companies working for Lowe's. A manager did call back, but never really help us in any way. At this point I would not recommend or use Lowe's for any other large project again…

I am so favorably impressed with the Millwork (doors & windows) dept. at the Lowe's store in Kalispell, MT. Frank was great help in ordering doors and windows. Then when I had a problem because my builder had given me incorrect information on the size door I needed, Steve was incredibly helpful in issuing a refund and doing research to make sure I got the perfect new door. John, the manager, was also very helpful.
Lowe's also made two deliveries to our house out in the country. Both times the delivery men came right when they said they would, and were polite, careful and efficient. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service I've received. Everyone I've dealt with acted like they actually cared that I got just the right product for our project. I should also mention that I do shop around and have almost always found the quality and prices of home improvement supplies (this is the third major remodel we've done) to be as good or better than anywhere else.

I purchased two Kohler toilets at the Lowe's Raleigh (Barton Grove location) on 10/18. The toilets were both in stock. Initially, I planned to have a private plumber install the toilets, but decided 3 days later that I would have Lowe's installation contractors do the install due to the price. I went into the store on 10/22, to complete the paperwork for the installation. I was surprised to discover that my order was not under my name, but someone else -- but not concerned because the sales associate corrected the problem. But then, he could not locate the product(s). Once he 'found' the missing toilets, he told me he would put the products in the area for the installation contractors to pick them up -- specifically telling me that they had a 48 hour window to contact me. I left the store hopeful that I would have the new toilets installed within the next week.
I called the store on 10/30 to inquire about the status of my order/installation. I was told that the products were not in stock. I called Lowe's corporate office (a very nice lady took down my information (complaint) apologized and told me that CPO would assuredly be able to assist me since it was an installation issue). She gave me their number and I called. I spoke with Andy at CPO, who told me that the delay was probably due to someone not getting an email. Ummm I suggested that his explanation was a bit weak... surely Lowe's has inventory management software as well as CRM. But he assured me that he'd already reached out to the contractor assigned to install the toilets (Progressive Plumbing -- Candance) -- who verified with him that they would contact me by EOB (10/30) to set up a date and time for the install).
I never heard from the contractor. So I went into the store on 10/31 and spoke with the store manager (Brett) who took my phone number and assured me that he would look into the status of my order and committed that he would get back to me ASAP. I gave up on Lowe's on Saturday, 11/3 -- went into the store and cancelled my order for the toilets (approximately $383 and installation approximately $353). This experience was very disappointing and a tremendous waste of my time. As of this date no one from Lowe's has followed up with me... so I think it is safe to say that based on this experience, Lowe's either has an employee training problem or worse... their leadership doesn't care about customer retention. I will do my best to find an alternative to Lowe's in the future. They deserve a zero '0'. They've earned it.

Customer service said it wasn't there, so the following weekend, we stopped by the store to see what was up. The store associate working there said that it was indeed in the back with our name on it. My husband called customer service again, and they insisted that it wasn't there. We are now going on a week-and-a-half with no scheduled installation date.
My husband told them that they have until this Friday to give us a date, or we are getting a refund and going to Home Depot.

I purchased a high end washer and dryer from Lowe's in West Windsor, NJ. They called at 8PM (while I was on a flight) the night before the delivery to say they were coming between 9AM and noon. As I had a doctor's appointment at that time, I called first thing in the morning to ask to move the time. The lady that answered said they would move me to that afternoon. Sure enough, the delivery guys show up at 9am as I'm leaving for my appointment and claim they did not get the message and cannot come back until later that week. I called back and another lady answered and said I should never have been told they could do it that afternoon (as they don't do that apparently), but had no way or interest in making the previous woman accountable or aware for future callers.
Later that week they showed up as expected but claimed they could not install the dryer because the house is propane and not natural gas, and they are not authorized to convert to propane. They suggested I get a handyman. I hired a handyman who came and confirmed I do not have propane, but in fact natural gas. His guess is Lowe's saw a gas line coming from outside the house and assumed propane, though the pipe was actually carrying natural gas to a gas grill. The handyman installed the dryer without issue with the gas, but noted it has a steam function and Lowe's did not include a pipe to connect the water line to the dryer.
I called Lowe's to complain about all of the above. They said they would refund me the $20 installation fee (but can't do anything about the $150 I just paid the handyman due to their screw up), and confirmed they did not send the pipe for the steam which the person who sold me the dryer should have done. Again, no plan for accountability or correcting these issues for future customers (which is probably why it keeps happening)!!!

My favorite part is 3 weeks after paid for the doors using the Lowes CC we find they charged interest on the first statement. Usually you get a chance to pay it off before interest is applied.

I went to Lowe's for my master bath remodel, because I trusted them fully. The sales person showed us showers, which he said the VA would approve for a disabled veteran. Not so, the VA would have approved a much less expensive shower. He choose the subcontractor. Once we completed the order process and made payment, the salesperson informed us that he would no longer be our go to person, we would be contacted by the subcontractor to schedule the work and if we had any problems he gave of us a name at corp that we should call. When we had a problem he was never available. This started in January, and with the problems we have had it still is not completed. Lowe's told us that after careful consideration of our claim and based upon the information obtained in their opinion that they would not be held responsible for this incident.

I ordered 2 appliances on 8/17. Dishwasher was correct, gas range incorrect. Didn't see it until next day, no self cleaning. Went to store, mgr. took my order with credit card receipt attached. Promised me compensation. Waited, called in a week to see when stove would come in. Mgr, Josh, forgot to order it. Next one that came in was damaged. 3rd range which was delivered & installed today (after complaining to corporate & making a formal complaint) only to find out the nipple on the back of the stove was damaged and gas was leaking. Tried calling Gina, installation dept. to see if and when the new stove would be ordered. No answer on phone, held on for 10 minutes after being disconnected 2xs. I want the new stove for FREE! Installer was great, he couldn't believe he has had to install and uninstall for the same order.

I have been a Lowe's customer since 1991 and a credit card holder since 2009. The service has tanked so bad if I could give them no stars I would have. I paid early on my monthly payments and they STILL charged me late fees. If I hadn't reviewed my statement I would have never known. So I called and guess what They REFUSE to reverse the charges. Crooked in my opinion. At the very next chance I will be paying the card off and cancelling it and I will NEVER EVER EVER BUY ANYTHING EVER AGAIN from them. I was a Lowe's customer no matter what. Not anymore. Home Depot or ANYONE ELSE has my business. If Lowe's is the only one that has what I need to fix something I will let it be broke. JERKS!!!

So I recently ordered a new washer and dryer to my new home. Took a day off of work to try to fit into their delivery window of 7 am to 9 pm. Well come 9:30 pm still no delivery and was told drivers were not answering. Long story short it is now 3 days past when I should have received my appliances and still nothing. I was told they will "try" to deliver to me today or tomorrow. I only give one star because it is not an option to give 0 or negative. I will NEVER get delivery from Lowe's again.

I'm a long time, regular customer of Lowe's Home Improvement in N.E. Bakersfield, CA. for almost 10 years give or take. Over the years I have learned the names and faces of the employees that have helped me over time and always have appreciated the help that has been given. Yesterday as I was pulling in the parking lot of the store closest to the entrance and I parked in a parking spot next to an off gold colored Chevy Avalanche but not to sure of the year. But as I got out my work truck and came around to the passenger side I noticed an employee leaning forward in the driver seat with a clear pipe of some sort with a small torch lighting up the ball end of it. As soon as he noticed me looking at him, the employee immediately put the paraphernalia down to his lap as I continued to make my way to the entrance.
I recognized the employee almost immediately and after getting my materials I asked to speak with the store manager. The store manager I have known to be there was no longer there and the employee at the checkout stand informed me of the new management was a woman but was not currently available at that time. As I was leaving the store and going to my vehicle I noticed that the employee's vehicle was still there parked. I had made a mental note to myself to contact the manager to discuss the employee using drugs while on the job, before the job or on his lunch break. Regardless it was not something I want to see going into the store. I'm thinking I might switch to Home Depot around the corner. I couldn't imagine having my grandkids with me and having to see that. Really upset me that an employee is so bold to smoke ** directly in front of the store.

I spent $13,400 with Lowe's on a suite of KitchenAid appliances around their top of the line refrigerator. The fridge was dead on arrival, and could not be repaired according to Whirlpool, their parent company. I was also referred to the Replacement Dept, who said the entire production run was defective, and replacements wouldn't be available until January 2019 at the earliest. (It was October 5.). Another appliance smelt of electrical burning, and a repair tech showed up and said "I don't see anything wrong, but I wouldn't leave the house or go to bed with that breaker on."
These two appliances are $7500 of that order, and we didn't spend this kind of money to have mismatched brands and finishes of appliances. We offered that we would be open to exchanging the suite for Bosch, which is actually a few percent cheaper by $$$. It has been three weeks of calling and going back and forth, and I have no ship date; other than it might be 10-12 days, or maybe 4 weeks, but we don't know. The reps keep saying "I understand your frustration..." but they don't. There is zero empathy. Corporate keeps referring me to the local store assigned to the order, who keeps saying they can't help.
In fact, a manager today said that they are already breaking policy to make me happy, and it would be discrimination to the rest of their customers if they returned brand new unused appliances for another line. (I never hooked up my other oven, range, or dishwasher to help my case.). I am going to have to buy another set of appliances out of pocket to get something reliable and operational. Lowe's has done ZERO to attempt to fulfill their satisfaction guarantee. I will not be shopping here ever again.

Lowe's customer service is so bad, I won't be surprised if I don't get a brain tumor with the amount of time my phone was plastered to my ear with the amount of time I spent on the phone for screwing up my two orders for major appliances. I am pleased hearing an american voice, but that makes no difference with Lowe's. No one knows what they are doing between customer service and the distribution centers. Spoke to multiple managers and supervisors and still nothing got fixed. Lowe's credit card services are just as bad. Synchrony bank who service other retailers is horrible too. I was ready to cancel my order all together, but I am afraid of their competition being just as bad. Poor Sears. Used to be the go to for appliances with no issues. What a joke Lowe's and its competition are!

I have shopped at Lowe's for over 25 years and spent an enormous amount of money there and many large and small projects. I have finally decided to sever all ties. Their service is all but non existent with little exception. Their floor employees are not only lazy as hell, but rude as hell. The predominant attitude is annoyance with the customer’s interference with their chill time at work. They don't hesitate to just walk away from the customer as if they have better things to do. On more occasions than I can count over the years, the employee would say, “I'll go check,” then disappear forever into the maze.
The cashiers and service desk folks are always very nice so there is definitely a different standard being applied. This attitude has progressively gotten worse over the years to the point now that it is the Lowe's standard. I've tried different stores without seeing anything dramatically different. So as the saying goes, I'll be voting with my feet and wallet. Not spending another dime or another minute at Lowe's. This site won't allow zero star rating. One is the lowest rating, but far too generous.

I bought washer and dryer online. The customer service for online is hopeless. They don’t know how to handle the order or when to deliver. I get messages and phone calls it will deliver the next day but nothing comes. They keep on insisting me to come to store and place the order again. I just don’t understand why would I place an order online if at the end I still have to go to the store. I am really disappointed for the service of such a big company. I think they should hire more professional people. Thanks.

I use my Lowe's credit card for all my purchases because they told me it was so easy to make returns but this is not the case. Even if you have charged the purchase on the credit card, you still need to produce the receipt for your money back. The managers have no power to override the system. Unlike Home Depot they offer credit at their store if you purchased it there. So much different. I do not like shopping at Lowe's but they are only blocks from my house so sometimes I have to. They need to be more customer oriented and I see why their stock is so much less than Home Depot because they just can't compare!

I never heard back - but when my credit card bill came later that month Lowe's had charged me for the fencing and installation. I called Lowe's and found out I was just forgotten (they didn't however to bill me). I then told the manager to cancel the fence and was told my credit card will be credited. I am still wailing for my credit card to be credited and it is going on 3 months. Luckily I turned it over to the credit card company to handle - but I'm still waiting on Lowe's.

My parents used Lowe's for their kitchen remodel. Big mistake. They were expecting Lowe's to know what they are talking about. Many mistakes were made, but the last and most expensive was the countertops. They drove to Chicago to look at granite slabs from the company that Lowe's uses. No one informed them about the difference between granite with mica in it. Now they have a $5,000 countertop that the mica flecks come out every time they set something on it or clean it. There is also nicks and dings all over it. (Not smooth at all). When they complained, they were just told there was nothing they could do. I will be telling all not to ever use Lowe's for a home improvement project. You do NOT save any money.

The Lowe's in Fort Gratiot, MI was once the best place to shop for the pro customer. A couple years back they had the best manager by the name of Randy, they made changes and let him and many other great employees go. They replaced him with a garbage manager named Denise. She lies, puts down her customers and has a terrible mouth. She has offended many business owners like myself by the way she treats others. They also fired all of their delivery drivers and went 3rd party who just cannot meet the needs of the tradesman. And they replaced knowledgeable staff, with a wealth of knowledge in home improvement, for uneducated retail workers who barely know the difference between a hammer and a paint brush. Very disappointing.

Went to Lowe's here in my hometown last night needing a new washer. I picked out the specific washer online which was on sale and a great deal, and showed six of them in-stock, made a copy, and showed it to the so called salesperson cause they did not have the item on display anywhere on the floor. She then looked it up the item and the first question was "are you ready to take it home today?" instead of "yes we have it in stock". I said "O.K." but I need it delivered. She rolled her eyes and said they wouldn't be able to deliver it until November 10 and this was October 19 that was 22 days from now. She told me that they had 3 delivery trucks and they were making 15 deliveries per truck, per day. That's 45 deliveries a day!
I then asked if I took it myself today would they come out and pick up the old broken down washer at some time. She said, "No, it could only be done if they were delivering a new washer (in 22 days)." I left pissed off telling her I'll look somewhere else, that was 6:15pm, and as I drove out of the parking lot to notice two delivery trucks parked, so only one was out (maybe). It seems if there's a great deal on a something at Lowe's somewhere there's a catch.

After new laminate flooring was installed in my home, we found that two doors did not open/close. The installer, who otherwise did a good job, told me that he did not do doors. After speaking to several Lowe's people by phone, I was told that it was my problem - not Lowe's. Jeff **, who told me that he was the ultimate installation manager, advised me to contact porch.com to get a handyman to adjust my doors. (Lowe's sells and installs doors). I really thought that Lowe's would do a good job and stand behind their service and products and that is why I selected Lowe's instead of a fly-by-night company. My mistake.

On July 15, 2018, I purchased a Whirlpool dryer online. At the time, my order got canceled without notification because the store it went through did not have it on hand. Instead of contacting me, however, the store simply canceled the order. A customer care representative helped me order through another store because it was a sale item.
When Lowe’s finally came out to install, the employee told me he could not hook up my dryer because I had a three-prong outlet and not a four-prong. I told him that did not sound right because many homes only had a three prong outlet. He was dead set in his answer, and I had already waited a bit of time for the delivery, so I was extremely frustrated. I was back to square one.
Luckily the following morning, the installer showed back up with the dryer and another employee who apologized for giving me wrong information. He was apparently fairly new, so I accepted the apology and they installed the dryer. Recently, the dryer started acting weird and stopped drying our clothes until it completely gave out last week. I called Lowe’s and a representative set up a time for a tech to come out. It took a week for that to happen. Today, the tech told me the sensory board is out and it is going to take 7 - 10 days to get the part. This is a new dryer, and I should not have to wait that long, so I called Lowe’s and requested a replacement instead.
It was then I learned that because the dryer did not break within 30 days of installation, I am out of luck and have to proceed with the repair. It does not matter that I just bought the dryer in July, and it does not matter that I bought an extended warranty on the dryer. I have to accept what is. For over a decade, I have purchased all my appliances and home improvement items from Lowe’s. I will no longer do so after this experience.

I purchased a French door from Lowe's on 8/4/2018. We decided to use Lowe's installation services for the install. It about two weeks for the door to come in. After the store delivered the door, the installer called to set up a time. He showed up on time, was professional, and quickly installed the door. A few days later I noticed water puddling up at the base of the door. We recently installed new flooring in the house, so I was concerned to say the least. Upon further inspection I noticed that the water was leaking from the corner of the windows. I took pictures/video and called Lowe's. They sent the installer back out, he quickly noticed that the windows were not properly sealed. I called Lowe's to tell them, I asked if the installer caulking the window as a temporary fix would void any kind of warranty, they said no. The installer left after caulking the window and told me that Lowe's would contact me. This is when things started to get sideways.
Fast forward to 10/18/2018, I still do not have a properly functioning door. I spent well over $1400 on a new door, but all I got was a broken door and more stress. I've wasted two of the most important resources I have, time and money. All I keep hearing is "I'm sorry". That doesn't fix the door, or give me back my lost time and money. The only reason this isn't a one star review is the Lowe's employee who helped us with the initial purchase and the installer were helpful, concerned, and made me a priority. They did everything they could.

I purchased both a riding lawn mower and grass collector made by Husqvarna. On the day of delivery, they never showed. A week later, they delivered the lawn mower, but not the collector. I went to my local Lowe's to ask about delivery 3 times in 4 weeks and still no delivery. They said there was one sitting at another Lowe's about 10 miles away, but they refused to drive over there to pick it up to deliver to me. Finally, after 5 weeks, it was delivered. After using the lawn mower for 5 hours, the transmission broke. Lowe's refused to repair it because I owned it for more than 30 days. I had repair experts look at it and they reported the transmission was made of plastic and not repairable.
I contacted Lowe's with this information and asked for a refund since I only used it for 5 hours. Lowe's refused and told me I was out of luck. The manager of the store is the one who told me this while he was very rude with his attitude. My recommendation is to never do any shopping at Lowe's. They do not care about the customer, only their money. I will be using Home Depot as well as telling all people that I know about Lowe's terrible attitude and their lust for money and the very poor job of running a company.

Insane! Lowe’s "Professional Services" sold me on a deck construction job beginning of September, charged over $26k to my credit card on the same day. Then postponed the material delivery and start of service 4 times, and now, after having waited 1.5 months on them getting started on a project that should have been completed by now, called me to inform me that they would just "refund" me and not follow through on delivering the ordered and paid service. I got completely screwed by Lowe’s: out of $26k, out of 1.5 months lost, dozens of hours in troubleshooting their sub-contractor LKN Custom Homes, 1.5 months of a lot of money tied up with Lowe’s.
You have to be aware that Lowe’s only has one single sub-contractor and if they get too busy and try to find ways to drop projects again, Lowe's has no replacement for them. Months after having planned and designed the deck project, after having had a structural engineer sign off on it, after having collected the customer's money, after having worked with the customer's money, Lowe's will simply drop the project for not having a sub-contractor available and refund you the money without interest! I have experienced first hand that, trying to use Lowe's "Professional Services" for a construction project, can make you lose money (interest for funds withheld by Lowe's), your own man hours (to try to get Lowe's and their sub-contractors to deliver the service you paid for), the opportunity to build something within the timeframe you need it, and pretty much all your nerves.
Highly advice not to use Lowe's or LKN Custom Homes. Unfortunately, I have experienced that they are dishonest, bully customers around and manipulate each other (between Lowe's personnel and sub-contractors). As a customer you're stuck in the middle between them. Worst experience with a construction vendor I have ever made!
