    My husband and I bought a new washer and dryer for the house, it took 3 weeks for it to be deliver, never received any phone call from them after they rescheduled the delivery when it will be delivered, it's so bad doing business at Lowe's, then we ordered a customized doors. We had it 2 months early because we need it for our house then 2 months later no doors yet - this is so unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting any services from this company. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    I ordered new countertops on 7/27/2018 at store #434 Gainesville, GA. Yesterday they were delivered and installed. Well can't really use the word installed because of awful installation. Oven door rubs new countertop every time you open and close. About a one inch gap in between cabinets and countertop on island, plus where they screwed on a have a hole on top and you can feel screw. Where 2 pieces meet there is a gap. A very other things wrong.

    I called store yesterday and spoke with Sierra and she stated would contact installer. I called her again today and said not able to get a hold of installer that she would keep trying. She finally called me back and the manager of the installation company was to call me in an hour. I gave him 2 1/2 hours and no calls. I have been trying to call Sierra she hasn't answered. I believe it's going to take someone other than an hourly employee to put fire under his pants. At this point I want these tops gone and I want to be reimbursed.

    I purchased a gas range & refrig. online with Lowe's on Aug. 02 with delivery on Aug. 21. 8:00 am. On Aug. 17 I get a call from a very nice young man to confirm my delivery time. Perfect right? Well, on the 20th I get another call to remind me that the gas connector I ordered with my range would be delivered on the 21st. Jokingly I asked "Is it going to come along with the range?" His reply was "What range? All I have being delivered is the gas connector". After calling Customer Service, I find out that my range & frig are going to be delivered in the not so distant future. I canceled everything immediately and called another 800# to find out what was going on. She disconnected me. Well, I'm disconnecting Lowe's forever. Don't buy anything from them online! They must do great on in-store sales because they're treading water online.

    In 2015 I contracted Lowe's to completely redo my bathroom. I paid over $25,000. Everything on the surface looked cosmetically beautiful. However, my showerhead control valve needed to have a cartridge replaced. When I called my licensed plumber he indicated a simple job. However when he took the valve faceplate off underneath was a mess. According to the Moen install instructions there should have been a 3" X 3" square hole to allow access to the valve and its internal flow controls. The plumber installed behind a metal plate disallowing access to internal controls and the tile guy completed only allowing providing a 1.5" X 3" access hole.

    The plumber did not have enough space to simply install the cartridge and thus the simple job took over 1.5 hours. When I called Lowe's to complain they said I should have caught the problem during the final walkthrough and took no responsibility even though I thought that their project management and general contractor (which I paid Lowe's for) should have had my back. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they refused. I am very disappointed and will never recommend them to anyone.

    The Lowe’s sales guy came to our house and all seemed promising. We paid $4,000 for a fence and weeks later, we still have the supplies sitting in our front yard. When half of the fence was installed and nothing else was happening, my husband tracked down the supplier through the installer and they said the wrong parts were ordered. At this point, my husband has moved the pallet that killed our new grass in the front yard and taken pictures of parts and sent it directly to the supplier in hopes that we’ll get some resolve and FINALLY get a new fence. Lowe’s being the project manager or one-stop-shop is a huge sham. They clearly don’t have their stuff figured out. I even tried calling to get some resolve and their customer service said we’d have to take it up at a nearby store - even though we never went to a store to make the purchase. Lowe’s is great at selling stuff and horrible at seeing it through.

    Let me start saying that this is the very first BAD review I have ever written. I am so upset with Lowe's customer service and delivery department. We bought a dryer on Sunday August 12. Till this day August 20th they have still not been successful at delivering it to our house. They scheduled the first delivery for August 16th and no one showed up, then called to rescheduled after one of us already took time off work to be at the house to receive the dryer. Then they rescheduled for Sunday August 19 (1 whole week after buying after they advertise next day delivery) the truck shows up with 2 washers and no dryer.

    They had to leave as that was clearly NOT our order. I called the store countless times as well as their main number and got it rescheduled by their manager Deidra for tomorrow August 21st after 5:30 pm. And we just received a text message confirmation that they will come at 11:30 am... I MEAN FOR REAL! IS THIS A JOKE, I will never recommend buying appliances from them to anyone, as they clearly don't know what they are doing. They won't be seeing us as customer for the same reason.

    Lowe's subcontracts installation. When incorrectly installed the carpet develops rolls and ridges. They brag about one year warranty but many inadequate carpet installations become apparent after the one year in the form of rolls and ridges. My carpet, that I paid over $8,000.00, developed ridges after 15 months. I called the company and they were unwilling to budge on the one year warranty. Buy carpet from a reputable flooring company that stands behind their installations. They have better installation as it is their livelihood. Carpet is only one part of the Lowe's industry and they do not care if the carpet develops flaws. Very good carpet but now I have to hire someone come in a re-stretch the carpet. Do not allow them in your home to install carpet.

    No problem with buying floor and picking it out, getting to house. The problem was with installation. The sketchiest two installers come to the house. Keep in mind that our contract stated that subfloor replacement was needed. The installers were about to place brand new floor (2000$$$) over rotted subfloor. Then told my mother that they didn't know about that. Tried cutting a deal with my mom to pay 500 dollars cash for subfloor but to not tell Lowe's. My mom called store and they arranged for us to pay for subflooring. The installers then say they don't want to do subfloor... after I paid the additional 800$$$$ for subfloor. They left the site leaving Us with subflooring as our living room floor!!! All our furniture was moved to the kitchen and den. Corporate only apologized and wanted us to wait 3 days before another installer would come. Horrible and is still not resolved.

    I can't review the product since I still don't have it. Ordered $8,000 in appliances July 8, and told they would be delivered on 7/23. Received a call the night before and was told they had just shipped from the "manufacturer" and would be received in the Central FL Warehouse on 7/24, and would take an additional 7-8 days to reach the store for delivery. Spoke with the appliance manager who claimed that ALL special orders take at least 2 weeks to ship to them. So obviously the associates don't know what they are talking about, or are trained to lie so they can make the sale. Received a call to schedule home delivery on 8/2. All 4 products were delivered, all 4 products had damage or missing parts, or just didn't work. Range dented on the side, refrigerator missing an herb drawer, microwave vent fan does not work, dishwasher badly dented at the back of the tub.

    Returned the dishwasher and waited 2 weeks for the new one to be delivered. I was assured by the appliance manager that the installers opened cartons and checked product before they left the store to ensure there was no damage. Installer shows up on 8/17, takes out old unit BEFORE he ever opened the carton and looked at the new dishwasher. The damage kept the door from opening properly so second unit is on its way back. I will be demanding Lowe's pick up ALL appliances and give me full credit so that I can purchase from a reputable appliance dealer. So once again another lie from a Lowe's employee, added to an installer that says they never check product before they leave the store, and that they always have damaged dishwashers. Yet he was not smart enough to check it before he removed the old unit. Complete incompetence and the last I will step foot into a Lowe's store.

    My husband and I purchased a house last yr in 2017, we wanted to do house improvement/upgrade in the new house so we did some research in carpet purchase and narrowed down Lowe's. However Lowe's did not meet our expectation at all, it's so frustrating that it's been 5 months now and the issue is not close to resolution. We bought carpet from Lowe's at Raleigh store around 7 months ago, contractor came in the morning, after doing installation in the whole house at the end of the day they informed us that there are two different shades in the carpet and that someone will contact us shortly since contractor will report this issue with pictures and report.

    Since then our struggle is still on, no one of course contact us and we are at point that we are literally being pass from one team to another, from different people from store manager to CPD and now to sales installation team to get this resolve and yet there is no follow up and status of what is still same. It's sad that we trust and choose Lowe's for the business and paid upfront $6000. This was absolutely not expected from one of the reputed company although I am convinced now I should rather warn my friends, family, co-workers and neighbors not to purchase from Lowe's. Lowe's contractor lied to us and informed us about the two different colors after the installation was done. After we raised the concern there is no satisfactory resolution Lowe's is offering.

    Updated on 10/05/2018: Lowe's took close to 9 months resolve our claim in their interest even though it was 100% their mistake for a job done. The quality of job done was so poor so it failed in independent 3 party inspection. Even though Lowe's did not entertain us the way should be. We have 150+ emails of follow ups and spoke to dozen people during that time. I recently purchased home and quickly learnt that always go for local store (avoid giants like Lowe's) because they would appreciate your business and willing to satisfy customer. May be a little more extra cost but much better than dealing with giants which you cannot do much about.

    I cannot express my deep appreciation to the salesman in the Camden DE Lowe's flooring department and the installers that this store uses. From the salesman with his patience and all the questions, we had, to the man who came to my home to measure, to the installers. Their work was professional, cleaned up afterwards, and found nothing but my brand new Pergo floor. We love it! Thanks Lowe's and all those involved! We are very pleased!!!

    We contracted with Lowe's Home Improvement to replace a roof on my deceased mother-in-law's house in Binghamton. We paid Lowe's for the work. They installed the wrong color shingles on the house. The work was terrible with numerous problems. We have tried since April 2018 to have Lowe's correct the problems. The store salesman in Binghamton came to the site and in my wife's presence said the work was terrible.

    Since then he has refused to return phone calls. We contacted the store manager and he referred us to the Lowe's corporate person who was responsible. After agreeing to make repairs using a new contractor, she asked the one who did the bad installation to make repairs. Since that conversation she has refused to return phone calls or emails. The old contractor supposedly made repairs, but pictures that we obtained today indicate that the same problems exist. We have been in contact with a Lowe's corporate representative. He has promised action in phone calls over the past three weeks, but nothing has been done. We need help to get Lowe's to fulfill the terms of the contract.

    We have sent pictures to Lowe’s consumer care at corporate headquarters and they have done nothing but talk. They refuse to answer our questions and our phone conversations cover the same complaint every time without any concrete progress. Subsequently, we have had a home inspector look at the roof and he found numerous problems and shoddy workmanship on the roof on the backside of the house which is difficult to see from the ground.

    Lowe's Home Improvement. I am at a Loss for words when I try to explain how disappointed I am with this company. I signed up for a deck and a fence install in April of this year. What a mistake! Obviously these are high ticket additions to my home, and spent thousands of dollars on with them. I was told EVERYTHING would be completed by June 19. After the gentleman came into my home and gave us a great presentation on the products and procedures, we felt we couldn’t pass it up. Silly us. About a month goes by without a word from anyone from Lowe's Home Improvement. We were assured there was a project director that would handle everything and anything we needed.

    We called said director numerous times with no answer or response to numerous left messages. Finally, this guy returns a call... mind you it’s been a month and project was said to be completed in 2. He proceeds to tell us everything is in line for our fence... I ask, “What about the deck? I DONT HAVE ANYTHING HERE ABOUT A DECK”. Awesome. Well, finally he gets it together and assures is everything is on schedule. We get a call about a delivery, which we assume is the materials. Great. Driver comes, can’t believe it’s a house he’s delivering to. Refuses to take materials to our backyard. Finally, I convince him there’s nowhere else for them to go... Proceeds to damage our neighbors utility box in their yard.

    Week goes by, I hear nothing from anyone about an install. No returned calls yet again. Eventually, the deck installer calls and says he’s backed up. Not Lowe's Home Improvement, the installer. Says he might get it done by July 4. Which thankfully it was. Now, all I need is a fence! Of course I’ve called this director, the store, store mgr, 1-800 # numerous times. No one has a clue about anything. Now, I start getting calls about deliveries... I think ok maybe stuff for the fence? Delivery comes, more decking? MY DECK HAS BEEN DONE FOR 2 WEEKS! Sent it back. Get a bill in the mail for the delivery. This happened 3-4 times. Trying to deliver more decking when it’s been completed.

    I’m confused as to how this company is still in business at this point. Finally the fence installer comes... His 2nd day he’s there for an hour and leaves. Apparently the concrete that’s been sitting in my backyard for 4 months now has hardened. Go figure! He packs up and is gone. No word from Lowe’s, installer informs us via phone call. Gate for the fence is damaged as well and can’t be installed. We are told gate and concrete need to be ordered. 2 weeks go by, not a phone call or anything. Call store mgr, he can’t believe it wasn’t delivered yet and will get right on it. Another week passes, NOTHING. Get a delivery call... finally! "Just kidding. We have more DECKING for you." This is a bad joke at this point, right!?

    I call the 800 # and finally get someone with a brain. Directs me to their install dept, my gate and concrete were at my house in 2 days. Really? It was THAT “hard?” They were supposed to pick up the bad cement... Contractor wound up taking it, not Lowe’s. Today, finally, my gate was put on completing my project. Or so I thought... Go to plug into my outlet on my new deck... no power. If I was this bad at my job I’d be fired ten times over. If I could rip all this stuff off my house and get my money back... I WOULD! I’ve yet to get a call about my satisfaction from anyone. #lowesblows

    First of all, I can't believe that a company this large has this bad of a rating. I am just baffled because you would think that by using large companies like this, you would get the best service, especially when you spend thousands of dollars. Anyway, just don't go through them. In a nutshell, I paid for a generator and waited over 6 months to have it fully installed.

    We signed the contract on December 12th 2017. Upon meeting with Jim our "Project Specialist", we were told we would have our generator around February 2018. It didn’t arrive on my property until March 23rd. That entire time, not one person called me to tell me the status of the generator. I called Bart from Lowe's, who was my assigned project manager, 3x and left voicemails and he never once returned my calls. Finally, when I got a hold of Jim after contacting him twice via email and then got a hold of him via phone, is when someone finally called me from the actual installation company.

    The lady from the install company was very clear with me that the delay was on Lowe's end and that the generator was NOT in their possession until mid-March. Again, not one person called me to tell me what was going on. After speaking to Jim he stated that the generator WAS in their possession. I am at a loss as to who is at fault but regardless, someone dropped the ball here and it certainly was not me as the paying customer.

    Finally, everything was complete in June. Every service person sent out to the home was very professional - we have nothing to complain about that. BUT we had 2 storms since I initially signed the contract on 12/12 and we went without power both times for over 24 hours and needed to stay in a hotel. Can you imagine how frustrating this has been for me with two young children at home?

    I honestly thought that by going through Lowe's directly for this large purchase, that I was making the best decision because I didn’t want to get tossed around by other companies. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I expressed my concerns with this entire process to Lowe's Corporate in hopes that this process gets better and no other customer goes through what I have gone through. I got a reply back and they offered me a $300 check. That was on June 7th. I have YET to receive any check. I have contacted BART, which is who I ended up dealing with again after my complaint to corporate, and he has never once answered my emails asking for an update on the check. Can you imagine? This is just embarrassing. Get it together Lowe's. You've lost a customer for life.

    Had new windows installed, then discovered they howl like banshees when the winds are high. After the clueless installer attempted to correct with sloppy caulking, an Atrium rep came by and installed "chimney stops," which reduced, but did not eliminate, the whistling noise. At the time, he said there were other things he could try, but after calling Lowe's a month after his visit when the windows howled again, received a call back stating that the windows were installed properly, it's our vinyl siding making the noise, and Lowe's was closing the file. Period. Wrote to the Lowe's CEO and store manager, but no response from either. We've spent tens of thousands with Lowe's over the years, but not a penny more, ever.

    Windows measure wrong. Too small; big gaps on side. Put corner rounds to hide gaps. Messy job as you can see from picture. Install 16 July and still waiting on corporate to give me an answer. I had 21 taken out and new ones installed in 6 / 1/2 hours 4 guys one was a go-for. Just unbelievable. Have video to document all. Out of the 21 windows only one was done almost perfect and that was the smallest in our bathroom. I requested that all windows should be replaced and new measurements done. Had Atrium Manufacturer come and look at the windows and was told that they were installed improperly, also most not balance. On top of that if the nail for corner rounds hit the window frame all warranty is void.

    Really fed up now. Told case worker Sarah that when I come back from our vacation I should have an answer. Either way, if they will not replace them I will go to a small claims court and or have them take them back. Their advertisement if not 100 percent satisfied money back guarantee. As they take them back I have Home Depot install new ones. I will not let them get away with this. We paid almost 10,000.00 dollars for these windows. My advise is stay away from Lowe's, they used to be a good company but not anymore. I must say that the project manager is really trying his best to help me. So we will see what happens!

    My issue with the company comes strictly from the Lowe's Service Installer (Service Pro's) that are out of Kingsport or Church Hill, TN. After great customer service from the store in Abingdon, VA we decided to go with the Lowe's Installers to get the job done. The company that they used was Service Pro's and they gave us a date and time to be present (You have to be present) which was a Friday between 9AM-11AM. So they call 30 minutes before their window closes and says that they can't make it and it will be later on in the evening... No time given to me to be home.

    The inconvenience of this is huge when you take off of work or burn a vacation day (Or what was supposed to be half a day) for them to say they can't make it. No one wants to lose money when paying for a service. Which is exactly what has happened to us. This directly reflects on Lowe's due to it being Lowe's Installation "experts". Dissatisfied! I've contacted the store and they were going to contact them and let me know something back a couple hours in and I've not heard anything at all... I've called the Lowe's Installation "experts" Service Pro's directly multiple times but just get a voicemail. After calling the store again, Management has made multiple attempts to contact the installers and cannot make contact! I appreciate everything that the Abingdon Store has done to help me but the Installers have given them a black eye on this one.

    Visiting in Beavercreek, Ohio with relatives. I needed to replace my parents' flagpole. I went to the Lowe's in Beavercreek. Knowing what I wanted, but not sure of the store's layout, I went straight to Customer Service. Asking the young man there, if they had flagpoles, he went right to his phone, for what reason, I'm not sure, he then said, "No, you have to go online." I ask him where the flags were at, he point to the garden area, and stated, "In that area." I walked about 40 foot in that direction, and there they were, a complete flagpole set, $129.00. I pick it up and walked right back to him, at the Customer Service desk, and stated, "You should know what your store sells, it should be part of your job," and walked away. He shouted out, to have a nice day... RIGHT, I thought...

    Walking to the register area, walked past paint department, noticed two fellas there, ask them to speak to a store manager. One boasted, "I'M A MANAGER..." Explained what, I had encountered, that the employee had no idea of what the store sold or offered or understood customer service. He had nothing to say, nothing at all. Not sorry or understanding at all. Having watched Lowe's built in Colorado Springs, I normally enjoy the facility and the staff, when ask upon, very helpful. Well, growing up in Beavercreek, things have sure changed. When kids with no knowledge of professionalism are working in customer service, representing a company of this magnitude, have the ignorance, to yell at a customer, TO HAVE A NICE DAY! because he was a **, and did not have the proper knowledge of what was available in the facility, that employs them, too bad for LOWE'S.

    LOWE'S, you should test your staff to ensure they know what your store sells. Well, as long as a phone will help you, why use your BRAIN! Lowe's needs to hire phone geeks, not personnel with hardware knowledge... lol. The flagpole installed easy, my relatives are very happy... The purchase was a joke. BOTH STAFF MEMBERS KNOW WHO THEY ARE... REAL JOKERS. BUT, you got my money... and you can shove it up your ___! POOR SERVICE. Make America great again, fire bad employees.

    We contracted with Lowe's to do our kitchen remodel. This started in February 2018 when we selected cabinetry, flooring, countertops, backsplash, appliances and lighting and paid for it all in full. We did a full gut of our kitchen in which everything was removed down to the studs in some areas. The new cabinets and appliances were delivered in mid-March 2018 however, the demo of the kitchen did not begin until mid-April 2018 because the contractor was not available until then. This meant we had to store everything in our garage for over a month preventing us from parking in our garage. Finally when the demo began, everything was torn out of our kitchen leaving us without a working kitchen.

    By April 20, 2018 we were without a functioning kitchen. Then the contractor would show up one or two days then we wouldn't see him or his crew for days. Finally, after complaining to Lowe's, the contractor requested a meeting around May 17, 2018. At that time, he advised that he did not have the manpower to return to our job until May 27, 2018 at the earliest. During that meeting I asked if I could find a different contractor on my own to finish the work. I was advised that I could do that and that is what I did. All was running smoothly during the early part of June 2018 until we discovered damage to some of the cabinets I had ordered. However, since we had essentially fired the Lowe's contractor it was clear that Lowe's did not want to have anything to do with us.

    The damaged cabinets were reordered which took an additional 4 weeks arriving in mid July 2018. However, the order was not complete! The company failed to replace all the damaged cabinets. I was missing ONE cabinet and one piece of crown molding that was supposed to have been in the July order. So they were ordered AGAIN with an expected arrival date of August 6, 2018. It is now August 8, 2018 and have not received this final shipment. I received a call on August 6, 2018 advising that we had a delivery scheduled for August 7, 2018. Lowe's delivery never showed up! And since I'm out of town for the next week and a half I will not get my delivery until August 20, 2018.

    While the delay of these last few items has not prevented me from using the kitchen it is quite frustrating that we are still waiting for the final pieces to finally finish our kitchen because Lowe's delivery just did not show up. This kitchen remodel was expected to take 6-8 weeks. While I know not to believe the estimated time of completion that I'm told, I certainly did not expect this to take nearly 5 months. We were without a functioning kitchen for 8 weeks, which also was not our expectation. I can honestly say that I will NEVER use Lowe's for any type of home repair work or installation. I do not trust them nor do they place customer service as a high priority. They should just get out of the any type of installation or remodeling services because they are clearly not equipped to handle the task. I will never recommend Lowes and will steer people away from ever using their services.

    I have made four purchases in the last couple of months at Lowe's. None of them have turn out correctly. Problems with all four. Promises broken, installs done incorrectly, installers bring a pit bull dog with them durning the install. Dishwasher installed and leaks on first use. Have called the store and customer service. I had the dishwasher 5 days. Call for replacement under the 30 day. Customer service says go to store. I go to the store and the store staff say you have to have it serviced first and if they can't fix it they will replace it. I said, "What about the 30 day return or exchange?" Repair first. I went home. Customer service says, "Yes you can return or exchange for free and/or get full refund."

    I get all my paperwork together. Return to store. They see it all. Copies of their return policies and they say ok. Will come get the dishwasher and give full refund. Will see how it goes. They are coming tomorrow. I have called at least 10 time to customer service ask for manager call back. They say yes. In 24 hours. 24 hours comes and goes and no one calls. I went to store and staff states manager does not talk to customers and does not call customers either. I've done this request for call back 4 times and they have never called back.

    I have caller I.D. And answering machine no call. Yesterday they said at customer service that someone from the store has tried to call no answer. I told them I have caller I.D.

    Contracted with Lowe's to replace gutters on my home. The work was shoddy and incomplete. Leaf guards were left off in areas and only partially installed in others. Significant amounts of rain water run underneath the gutters and down the sides of the house in some areas. Several hidden gutters on an older section of the house were not tied into downspouts. It was obvious the Lowe's representative had never inspected the installation. When photos of these shortcomings were shown to Lowe's in April, their representative said they would 'get back with me'. (Probably a Lowe's euphemism for "screw you".)

    It’s unbelievable that it’s even possible for a company to have a 1 star rating with over 500 reviews - how are these guys still in business? Anyway, steer clear. They just don’t have their act together. I placed a phone order for 4 expensive appliances. I just assumed Lowe’s and Home Depot were pretty much the same, and I had a 10% off Lowe’s coupon, so I ordered from them. The ordering experience was fine, and the rep was friendly. The nightmare began the next day. I got a call from one local store that said they had 2 of the appliances and needed to schedule delivery, but that another store had the other 2. That’s a little strange, and a small inconvenience, but I get it.

    I scheduled a delivery date with the first store. Then I get a call from another store with the other two appliances. I set a delivery date with them. Then, I get a call from a third store, that says the second store didn’t have the items, so now they were scheduling the delivery. Ok, really annoying, but I scheduled the delivery again. Then I get a fourth call from that same store, telling me they also don’t have one of the items, and because my order was already transferred once, they don’t have the ability to transfer again, so my only option is to cancel the fridge and reorder it, which will allow them to forward it to a third store that may have it.

    This is beyond unacceptable, and Samsung is running a promo where you get a gift card if you buy 4 appliances on the same receipt, so reordering would void that gift card promo. I explain that, and the rep tells me there’s nothing she can do, I have to reorder it or the item will sit in limbo and never get delivered. At that point, I called the corporate 800 number. They told me the fridge was discontinued and unavailable at all (by the way, it’s still available on their website, I just tried to order it to see if it gave an error... nope).

    She tells me I can order a different Fridge or just cancel the order. I cancelled the entire order at that point, because I have no more confidence in them. I called Home Depot, placed the EXACT same order, for the exact same price, they honored the 10% Lowe’s coupon as a price match, and they confirmed a delivery date for ALL items, confirmed they are all in stock, and all being delivered from the same place. Needless to say, Lowe’s and Home Depot are nowhere near the same... Don’t get suckered by a coupon like I did! Just show Home Depot and they’ll honor it and give you much better service.

    I have been in contact with Lowe's “corporate office” several times regarding a privacy fence installation since 6/26/18. My project coordinator, Cynthia, has only returned my call once and that was only because her supervisor was CC'd in on an email. I called customer service on 7/10/18 due to Lowe’s putting me on the incorrect promotion. I was given 6 months with 0% interest when it should have been 36 months with 3.99%. The installer, Zack, is deplorable and never reaches out to provide ETAs of his workers, himself or updates impacting the job. The supplies for my initial 7/19/18 installation were not delivered, a 2nd date, 7/31/18 was provided. My fence was left unfinished. The sales associate, Jeffrey/Alex + an additional person (Sam I believe) saw the unfinished product (I have pictures).

    Additionally, I asked for a full fence and was only given 3/4. I gladly paid $2,500 on my debit and the rest on my Lowe's card for a completed job. Because Sam and Jeffrey/Alex agreed with me they discounted the updated job. I spoke to Anthony today who rudely said that he doesn't see where I have been inconvenienced and advised my new supplies will be delivered 8/21/18 for a 8/23/18 job. I have to be home so the installers have access to a power supply, I am a full time working, single parent and have to take off to do this. This is ridiculous. If it isn't resolved, I will be going to my local media outlets and federal/state/local regulators.

The delivery truck arrived and the driver came through the front door insisting that he deliver through the front door. He shoved her aside and insisted that she move her own furniture out of the way so he could get the washer through the front entrance. When she picked up the phone to call Lowe's to complain, he stood by her side and aggressively insisted that she sign delivery papers for approval. She was afraid for her safety.

    I have been very disappointed with Lowe's. The customer experience has declined significantly over the past couple of years. I have bought nearly all my appliances and in the past, when they said something would be delivered, it would be here. That is not the case anymore. I purchased a new refrigerator six weeks ago. It was scheduled for delivery today 8/5/2018. I made 5 calls to confirm delivery and all five times, I was told it would be today. I called last Friday and yesterday because no one called me to schedule a time slot. I was told on the Friday's call that someone would call Saturday.

    On Saturday's call, I was told that someone would call between 7-9pm. No one called. I called Lowe's at 11am on day of delivery and finally, someone said that there was not going to be a delivery because it never arrived at the warehouse. There is no information. No one can tell me when it will or even if it will arrive. I have been living out of mini fridge for the past 6 weeks. Going into the store, is not much better. I have had store associates walk away when they see a customer coming. I have been told that it's their break time and to find someone else to help me. There is rarely anyone around to assist. I think I will need to stick with Home Depot, as I seem to get a better level of service.

    I ordered a complete set of Bosch appliances from Lowe's. I initially thought I would need the microwave and dishwasher installed, but changed my mind and called back to let them know and to ship everything at once. On the day of delivery, only the refrigerator and the range showed up. When I called they told me they would need to arrange special delivery as I was having them installed. When I explained I had called and told them I was going to do the installation, they scheduled them for the following Saturday.

    At this point, I figured out the collective IQ I was dealing with and called back THREE TIMES during the week to confirm delivery. Friday evening, I received a call confirming delivery for Saturday. Late Saturday afternoon, with no appliances, I called the store and was told they didn't ship because they were going to be installed by Lowe's. Did you get that? After FOUR phone conversations confirming delivery and informing them I would do the installation, they still didn't get it. Literally, NOT ONE person I spoke with could be bothered to update my record.

    In their defense, the manager I spoke with gave me an additional discount, which is great. But...my appliances were scheduled for delivery today and guess what? They aren't on the truck because they couldn't find them! So, I've now burned THREE SATURDAYS waiting for appliances that still aren't here and now Lowe's has no idea when they will be delivered. PS - They dented the refrigerator during delivery and claim to have a replacement on order. I'm not holding my breath.

They were to deliver in about two weeks time, with the delivery service calling the night before or that morning to give a more exact time. The delivery service calls (very early) the scheduled delivery morning and informs me that there were "errors" on my form and it needed to be filled out again over the phone with them.

    So I proceeded to give the delivery service all the information I had already filled out on Lowe's online form previously and the driver said he needed to transfer my call to the head cashier so she could take my credit card information (which I had already provided online). The call gets cut off in the transfer process. I call Customer Service, and the first thing they ask for is the order number! (Wasn't that data in their online system?)

I had an existing Central Air unit, Within the last 3 years I had the outdoor unit replaced, the upstairs unit was older. The pipe running from the outdoor unit to the upstairs air handler busted/leaked. I had the choice to just fix the pipe and refill for less then $700. I decided to shop around to get the entire unit replaced. I wanted to add a heat pump so that the ENTIRE house could be cooled and heated by the same source.

    Long story short, went with Lowe's, they installed, I specifically asked them if I needed vents downstairs they said no, the new system will be more sufficient and will move the air better. I have a bi-level, the living space is upstairs and downstairs, no basement. However come summer, the downstairs is hot and humid, I DID need vents. The 3rd party guys came out that did the initial install and said I needed Vents/Duct work to cool the WHOLE house. They quoted me an ADDITIONAL $3900 for two vents.

    We have had the a terrible experience with Lowe's. As we were searching for a company to put up a fence in our backyard, I wanted to use Lowe's because they have been a long time favorite of my parents. There were several people in my neighborhood who warned against us using Lowe's, but I wanted to give Lowe's the opportunity to prove my neighbors wrong. My husband scheduled the appointment for the Field Representative - Mr. ** to come out to our home to discuss measurements, fencing type, and pricing/financing. He came out and began outside to measure the yard - from the location that we desired to have the fence and he drew a sketch of the home and his measurements for the fencing company that Lowe's contracts to complete the build (NC Fencing Company) - whom today I was unable to even locate via Google...

    We went over the details of the contract and financing options. Included in the contract was a clearing and hauling fee, which was to cover a 4 foot clearing minus large trees or the rear border of the property. It was understood that one payment may be made on the fence prior to the installation and we were ok with that. We were advised that the build would take place around the 1st week of July; however, the fencing company advised that was not available. May I mention... the communication between Lowe's and their contractors is very poor. The fencing company advised that our build would take place on July 20th and that Lowe's would be delivering the materials for the build 48 hours prior (July 18th). I took off work to ensure I was available on the 18th for the delivery, and nothing ever came.

    We assumed that the build had been postponed since we had not heard from the fencing company nor Lowe's regarding our fence. On the morning of July 20th, I was awakened at the wee hours of the morning by the doorbell, as Lowe's was delivering the fence materials... unannounced. Later that morning, the fencing company arrived for the build. The fencing company was supposed to arrive between 8 am and 10 am per Lowe's; however, they did not arrive until closer to noon. Upon arrival, there were 2 guys in the truck. I immediately began to wonder how these two guys were going to clear our property and build the fence alone with very little equipment and obvious manpower. The young man driving the truck - who looked as if he was in high school - greeted me and came out to take a look at the materials and property.

    He immediately told me that there was not enough materials for the build and that they needed to return on the following morning to build the fence. I asked if there was enough material to BEGIN the build due to a very busy day I was going to have starting the following morning. He said that he would contact Lowe's for additional materials but that they were not going to be clearing the property, as we had included in our contract. I contacted my husband who got off work to come home and assist with any clearing that was needed for the fence to go on up and also contacted Mr. ** to come out and assist with the miscommunication between Lowe's and the fencing company. My husband came home and cut down 3 trees in the rear of the property per the fencing company's request... so that the fence could go behind the tree's locations.

    Mr. ** came and walked the property with the fencing company to confirm the location of the fence and he also advised that the clearing would be done to include all underbrush and haul away. Once Mr. ** left and the fencing company got to work, they neglected to complete the clearing and place the fence IN FRONT OF the location where my husband got off of work to come cut down the trees from. We contacted Mr. ** again and advised of the issue. There was not much that could be done, as the fence posts were already set in concrete. Mr. ** called me with one of the store managers from the Dave Lyle, Rock Hill, SC location - and advised that they apologized about the mix up and would do what was needed to make things right - included removing the clearing fee from my bill and giving me an additional amount off for the inconvenience - as well as a gift card.

    After the call, the fencing company advised that they still did not have enough materials to complete the fence and that Mr. ** advised that he would bring the remaining materials on the back of his truck. Hours passed and there was no Mr. **. The fencing company had to leave and advised that we would likely have to call several times and stay on the company before the remaining fence would be completed... that it could take several days. They left our home and the fence was incomplete on the left side of the property (facing from the main road). I really wanted to confirm when the remaining fence would be put up and again contacted Mr. **. He said that he would contact the manager of the fencing company and confirm. Needless to say, the fencing company came back out the following week and finished the fence INCORRECTLY.

    They ended the fence with a window that I wanted inside the fence on the outside. They did not follow the measurements that Mr. ** had entered on his sketch. When we contacted Mr. ** about this, he advised that we needed to take another look at the sketch, as if we were wrong, and that he would come by and re-measure. It came to be that Mr. ** drew the window on the sketch in the wrong location (outside of the fence), but the measurement, which encompassed the materials we are paying for, placed the window on the inside of the fence. We have been calling Mr. **, the store, the fencing company, corporate, and anyone else you can think of to have our fence corrected and our bill corrected.

    As of today, we have materials sitting in our driveway, we have left messages, been hung up on, been advised that Mr. ** is on vacation until next week, and are now preparing to drive to the store and hopefully sit in a manager's office until this is corrected. This has been a terrible experience for me. My first time entrusting a company to assist with home improvement has proven that customer service is at the bottom of Lowe's list. Lowe's does not provide the best customer experience as promised, and I wish I had listened to my neighbors and gone with a different option. Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and this word of mouth will be as powerful as I can make it to discourage other people from selecting Lowe's for their home improvement. I will not stop until we are compensated for this terrible experience and an incorrect fence. Thinking Lowe's? Think again!!!

The contractor refused to acknowledge that any of the damage to the house was his fault and that he had done as good a job as he could. We have vinyl siding on the house and he attempted to repair some of the vinyl siding by driving nails through the face of the vinyl siding, thereby ruining the siding. I hired a certified home Inspector to do an inspection and he agreed that the roofing was poorly done and that the damage was unacceptable.

Measured the tub wrong, installed a toilet that has been leaking since December, and can't fix it! We are ready to fly to Tennessee to get this done for my boyfriend's 80 year old mother! We went to Lowe's because we were leaving town, she just lost her husband, and WE wanted to make her feel better by re-doing her tub/surround after losing her husband of 60 years. She is so stressed out and getting sick over this horrible three month project that was suppose to take 2 days-she didn't even have a toilet for a few days. She only has one bathroom and Lowe's didn't care that she didn't even have a toilet!

    Beyond my comprehension that none of the 7 people we talked to (complete runaround! For 3 months now) even cared at all! I even talked to a District Manager who acted like she cared, but never called me back or sent someone out there to fix the toilet. I called the General Contractor directly to fix the toilet -- they told me they have a 24 hour protocol -- she had to have a toilet now, not 24 hours from now. Supposedly they hired a license GC, but they can't produce their GC license to me-I've asked at least 3 people to provide their license, but they told me I could call them directly. Does anyone out there know what I can do to resolve this???? The delivery dates are all a LIE! The new tub/surround was suppose to be delivered 3 days ago, but we haven't heard from anyone.

    We live in another state, but we are ready to fly out there to help his mom get through this. She doesn't drive or have any support where she lives in a small town. So, so sad. It angers me because NO ONE CARES! So sad to put an elderly woman who is grieving to go through this. Also, it cost more than $4,500! They charged us for a dumpster they never brought to the property, and other charges that were never done -- they told me those are "standard" charges even if they aren't used. What???? Who does that? The people they sent didn't even have a business card! Professionals??? I'm beyond sick over this -- We have honestly gotten physically ill dealing with LOWE'S in Union City, Tenn - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! Save your money and hire a handyman to do your work-better than the work they have done!

    I bought a Bosch dishwasher at Lowe's. I waited 3 weeks for their installer to finally call me back to set up an appointment. The installer went to pick up the dishwasher at the Garden City store. He said it was the wrong dishwasher. It was a KitchenAid not a Bosch. I took the day off from work for nothing. I have called the store 15 times. No one has called me back. I called my credit card company. They already took the money out from my credit card. Since Lowe's won't call me back I had to leave it in the hands of my credit card company. I will never buy anything from Lowe's again. I just want my money back.

    Purchased a Husqvarna HGT 26 HP V-Twin Kohler 54 inch mower model # 96045004 5/16/2016 from Lowe's of Marion, NC. The warranty on the frame was/is for 3 years. At the 2 year mark the frame broke. In the two years I had wheels break and I replaced them on my own. I had discussed the frame break with the department manager as well as the assistant manager at the Marion, NC store and the folks at the customer service desk. ALL Lowe's personnel agreed the frame was under the warranty and would be fixed or replaced. When I took the mower into Lowe's so they would honor the warranty on the frame they apparently had/have a repair shop who picks up repairs on Thursdays.

    Having picked up the mower I was contacted approximately a week later. The repair man or spokesperson iterated that the frame was literally broken in half. The gentleman informed me that the repair would cost $1402.00. I asked about the warranty that the mower had with it stating the frame and ALL factory parts were warranted for 3 years. He stated that because the mower had been abused and the frame would NOT be covered under the warranty. What? A flat to 1% grade of slope for your yard...How in the world can that be abuse? Realizing that I was obviously speaking to the wrong person, I asked to speak with someone else. I was hung up on. I did eventually get hold of someone else but to NO avail.

    I suggested they just send my mower back to me. They were shocked that I wanted it back. I told them that I would still be able to use it and I would later use it for parts. I was told by the repair gentleman that they would send the mower back to the Marion Lowe's and that the store would contact me. After 3 weeks I contacted the repair folks again and they informed me that they could not find the mower that I sent in for repair. It has been nearly two months now and I still haven't heard from the store. I've gone in the store a couple of times but the machine is NOT there. The customer service folks at the Marion, NC store have said they would follow-up. I don't know what they are following up on because it's NOT happening. My recommendation: DO NOT Purchase a Husqvarna riding mower from ANY LOWE'S store. I have seen numerous accounts where a Husqvarna frame has broken in half by reviews on the internet. NOT a reliable product.

    We purchased a new bathtub and surround from them, for $4,465.00! What a nightmare! Two months later, it isn't done. They do not answer our phone calls, emails, etc. They are really good at "passing the buck" to the General Contractor, or stating they are not responsible for the tub replacement. Then, they put plastic around the tub so our mother, who is 80 years old could take a shower, but forgot to put a shower curtain up while they wait for the parts that were ordered wrong. I have more to say about this, but you wouldn't even believe the lack of concern by Lowe's.

    I elevated this to District Manager, but no response as of yet. Can't believe that a big company like Lowe's can treat people like this. I will never buy anything from Lowe's again - please don't hire them to do any home improvement projects. Union City Tennessee Lowe's is the worse experience I have ever had in my entire life--I'm a project manager and dealt with large projects; a tub and surround is not that complicated, but they made it that way--I talked to over 7 people during this process, and NO ONE at Lowe's cared about the problems--every time I called they sent me to someone else! UGH!

    They are really great at "passing the buck" and not taking responsibility of this. Poor old woman who is taking a shower with plastic around the tub, with no shower curtain--I hope you can picture this horrible scenario!

When I pushed “zero” as instructed to speak with an operator since I could not get a human to pick up, the phone rang, rang, rang and then I was transferred back to the recording.

    We went to purchase a Samsung cooktop gas 5 burner at Lowe’s (Samsung 30in - 5 burner gas cooktop item 726320) and they said somebody needs to come measure the area to make sure it fits. We paid $35.00 for the measurements and after multiple calls we made - we finally got an answer that the cooktop will fit with some minor adjustments for an additional cost. So we went to purchase the cooktop and pay the price for the adjustment and the surprise was that Lowe’s said they the product was discontinued. I asked them why they did the measurements if they knew the item was discontinued - and there was no answer so I asked to be reimbursed for the measurements if it was done for nothing and they refused. Really disappointed considering that we purchase things from Lowe’s all the time - I guess it’s time to go with Home Depot! It’s not a question of money but a principle that they ask to provide a service for an item that they don’t have!

    We ordered 4 appliances online during the July 4th, 2018 sale. We were delighted to receive a call 2 days later telling us delivery would be the next day. After emptying the fridge and cleaning it, the drivers arrived with 2 of the 4 appliances. They told me the fridge and dishwasher were coming from another store. Obviously, no one bothered to mention that when they scheduled our delivery.

    Then they refused to remove the appliances (stove and microwave) until WE disconnected them. There is absolutely no mention that they would not disconnect appliances when you select the "Haul Away" option for which you are charged $20 per item. Unless you purchase installation - which you have to do separately by filling out an online form and then you still have to go into the store to sign a contract (told to me by Lowe's customer service) your new appliances will be sitting in the middle of the floor, unusable, until someone installs them and there is no guarantee when they will show up.

    Then Lowe's (again no communication about it) says they are going to hold up the refrigerator delivery until the dishwasher is available. After much arguing, they finally agreed to bring the refrigerator before the dishwasher. It came from the Clearwater store. We live in Lutz and our Lowe's is 5 min away (where the stove and microwave came from). None of this makes sense to me and most of all, not informing us was ridiculous.

    We finally had the dishwasher delivered today. Again, paid for removal but he wouldn't touch it until it was disconnected. Since it had been almost 4 weeks, we forgot about that or we could have been prepared. My advice is if you order online, ask lots of questions before or during the process! Make sure to find out if the order is being delivered completely, how you arrange for installation, if you have to disconnect anything, etc. They aren't going to be offering any information! We wanted to be thrilled about our new kitchen! But the lack of communication, split delivery, no information about what had to be disconnected, all have made this way more stressful and unhappy than it had to be.

A year ago. The FIRST set of contractors provided by Lowe's was a bunch of Russians who seemed not to have even been licensed, installed almost everything in her house wrong, wrong cabinet doors, wrong trim, used the trim for the bathroom in the kitchen. This was after waiting 4 months AFTER the finishing date for them to even start. Then a few months later, well past when it should have been done, after my mother called Lowe's for the millionth time either to no response or no viable explanation as to why it was taking so long, the Russians disappear.

    No, really. They left the country and took her money according to Lowe's. NOW 4 more months later there's a group of contractors. All seems fine except one guy acts suspicious. iPhone 7 plus goes missing, okay can't prove it and move on. Then, a few days ago my mother walks up her stairs, sees that the box to her $900 Roomba has been tampered with.

    Last February, my husband and I purchased an LG French door refrigerator from Lowe's in Elverson, PA. It was the last in stock and had a slight ding on the bottom that you seriously had to stand to the side to even notice. So, since it was a good deal and what we were looking for we purchased it using our debit card. Within the first 5 weeks, the ice maker stopped working so after jumping through several hoops... even WITH our warranty! Finally, Lowe's sent out a repairman. The issue was taken care of. But, then 5 months later, our secondary ice maker stopped working. Lowe's would not help. Strike two~ strike one being the extremely frustrating situation to get a repairman the first time.

    NOW, after 17 months, suddenly our fridge stopped working. Lowe's would not help us find an LG repairman and told us that if we would have used a Lowe's credit card, they could have helped. WHAT kind of nonsense is THAT!?! We located a serviceman on our own and when he was able to come out 5 days later, informed us that it is a failed air compressor... AND the extended warranty will not cover it. BUT, the really upsetting news is that he informed us that our fridge is a 2012 model that was more than likely a return to the Elverson store, SO that is why no one could help... because it was a discontinued model. Calling the store was pointless. Curtis in appliances was rude and short and pretty much said that it is not Lowe's problem.

    I am VERY upset and angry with Lowe's and will NEVER give them my business again! I DEFINITELY suggest that if anyone is looking for new appliances, to stay clear of Lowe's. I wish we would have purchased our fridge from Martin's Appliance when we bought our new washer and dryer. They are absolutely wonderful and have in-store repairman to send out, should there be an issue. Hindsight is 20/20, right?! My husband is on disability and we are unable to afford the $700 fix for our LG refrigerator, right now. Extremely frustrated and stressed! If I had known how dishonest Lowe's was we would have NEVER done a large appliance purchase through them. Beware and save yourself the money and hassle!

    I was trying to get a generator installed at my home (Florida hurricane season is here). I am retired and must budget my income and ration my life savings money. I asked for estimates on three different standby Generac generators (11kW; 16kW; 20kW.) I also asked if the generator could be installed with a manual transfer switch rather than an automatic transfer switch (a $900 part). An estimator came out but gave me no cost numbers, said they would call me from the store with the cost numbers. A week went by...no call. I called the store several times and got a curt, unfriendly, customer service desk person. When he transferred me to the generator department all I got was an answering machine.

    I left messages...no callback. I finally got a generator dept rep but still no numbers. 3 or 4 days later I finally got cost numbers on two of the three generators, but no information on the manual transfer switch cost. More calls, more NOBODY AT THEIR DESK TO TAKE THE CALLS. Two or three days later I got the third estimate. This time on an official form via my e-mail. This estimate had a statement that the natural gas hookup was not included (a $600 cost). STILL no answer about my manual transfer switch. I emailed back to confirm that the gas hookup costs were not included in any of the estimates...no e-mail response in three days, no call... NO ONE AT THEIR DESK WHEN I CALLED.

Every time we have to call them over & over and here we are almost a year later and nothing! The contractor they used was dishonest, poor work ethic and lack of skills. When he didn’t do the tile work right, 1/2 inch difference from one side to the other, very noticeable! And tiles not only put in crooked but grouted it crooked! Then told me he didn’t notice it but I showed him b4 he grouted! They busted holes in my walls and deeps sings in woodwork that have not been repaired.

    Jacob used bowed tiles then blamed the tiles for the 1/2 inch issue. I asked why he put the tiles on the wall if he knew they were bowed, he said because that’s what Lowe’s sent. They must have sent the worst of their stock! We had to pay in full about two months prior to the job, almost a year ago. When first job was done wrong they sent same company to do it over. Then when they continued to do poor job I was told by Steve ** said Jacob wouldn’t get paid till it was complete! It’s not complete but I’m guessing he still got paid.

    WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER! We bought a stove from the Lowe's in Dale City, and it was delivered with two huge dents on the side. The guys told me the moment they noticed and said that I needed to call the store to get a 20% discount. So I let them go ahead and remove my old stove to install the new dented one. When I tried to call the store I was told that they would transfer me to the delivery department. The transfer didn't work, so I was transferred back to customer service who attempted again. The second time it didn't work and I was transferred back to customer service. This time she tried transferring me again and ended up hanging up on me. I tried calling back and the store never answered.

    I waited five hours and called back. I was told that the delivery department was closed and that I would be transferred to a manager. At that point it rang and rang and rang, to then be hung up on again. I called back and asked to speak directly to a manager. The guy who answered the call gave me a hard time for wanting to speak with the manager. He then transferred me to a manager but come to find out, it was the corporate dispatch office. I explained what happened and she said that she was not able to help because I needed to speak with the store directly. She was kind enough to keep me on the line until I reached a manager.

    At that point the manager told me she would take $80 (less than 10% off the original price) off the stove or deliver a new one which requires another day off work. I explained the discussion with the deliver guys, who she said cannot give that kind of information out. I then explained that I needed to know the time to see if I could take off work. She said that she's not able to give out delivery times but I would know sometime the night before the delivery. Overall this was the absolute worst customer experience I have ever had.

    7/14 came and went. No delivery. No courtesy call from Jeffrey saying he would not be making the delivery. I had to call him to reschedule. New scheduled delivery date: 7/17 between 3-5 p.m. 7/17 came and went. No delivery. No courtesy call from Jeffrey saying he would not be making the delivery. So I called him to cancel the delivery. He didn't seem at all concerned and he didn't give me the impression that he even remembered that he had a dishwasher to deliver.

    As soon as I ended the call with Jeffrey, I called the Lowe's store where I purchased the dishwasher to cancel the order. The customer service rep was polite but she did not know how to cancel the order over the phone. It was clear that she was getting assistance from the manager but it was also clear that the manager had no interest in completing the cancellation herself. The whole time I was expecting someone to ask me why I was cancelling the order. Nothing.

    I cleared two afternoons for Lowe's and their 3rd party delivery service to come and install my dishwasher and not even an apology when the deal fell through. Nothing. Would I recommend Lowe's to someone else in the future? ABSOLUTELY NOT. If I had to rate the customer care I received on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Lowe's a zero.

    We worked with the Lowe's in Fairfield CA. They did an entire kitchen remodel including the installation of a gas line. They did require full payment up front which was sort of scary. We could not have been happier with the communication and work. The design consultant was always available, the contractor and his team went above and beyond when we decided to add or change things mid project. We really liked that Lowe's provided a project manager so we didn't have to worry about who was doing what next. The work was done in a timely manner and we are overall pleased. We finished the kitchen and plan to go back to this team to do the bathrooms. I know I have seen some less than positive reviews but I would still recommend the Fairfield team. We had heard so many horror stories of kitchen remodels that we were really scared to do it - but the experience was positive all the way around.

    This was the worst experience I've ever encountered! I ordered several outdoor items [dining table, outdoor carpet and several pillows] online in early June. Since the website indicated that direct shipping was not an option, I chose the Lowe's delivery option as my car is not large enough to accommodate the size of the table I ordered. I received a confirmation that said my order would not be delivered until 6/27/18 because one of the pillows was a 'special order'. I received a call the evening before delivery stating they would be in touch with me the morning of the 27th with a two-hour window. I received a call on the 27th stating my items would not be delivered because there was a 'problem' with my payment. No further information was provided. Just a thought: shouldn't you confirm the payment for each order before you contact the customer to arrange delivery??

    I then spent the next hour and 45 minutes trying to figure out why my payment was not accepted. I spoke to a number of different individuals at the customer service number for online orders. Not one person was helpful. They insisted this was my issue and that I should contact my bank. I contacted my bank who confirmed there was no problem with my payment and, in fact, it did not appear that Lowe's even attempted to run my card information. I conferenced with my bank and Lowe's who ran my debit card information two more times and kept telling me it did not go through.

    After continuously being placed on hold for what seemed like an eternity, I finally spoke to a Lowe's 'manager' [Dominick] who handled the online purchases who didn't seem to care at all. He basically said there was nothing he could do and transferred me to their online sales department. The woman I spoke to did not even know how to resolve my issue, but she did try. She again tried to run my debit card information to no avail. I spoke to my bank yet again who conferenced with the Lowe's representative who told this woman that it was an issue on Lowe's end because nothing was transmitting through to them.

    I was eventually transferred to the Carlisle, PA store who re-entered my order and surprise, my payment was accepted with no issue! The only problem was that I now had not one, but TWO active orders because the woman in the sales department failed to tell me doing so would be like starting from scratch. The sales person at the Carlisle PA store [Diane] was somewhat helpful, however, it was not until after I demanded that the first order be cancelled and all of my items be delivered the next day. Ultimately, I did receive all of my items, however, I will never ever place an online order through Lowe's again. This was an awful customer experience that I would not wish on anyone.

    Lowe's-- you need to go back to the basics-- proper customer service training for your employees at every level of your organization. A customer should never be made to feel like they are an inconvenience and your employees should be educated so they know how to handle these situations. It was very obvious that no one knew what they were doing and they certainly had no empathy for what I had to go through to get the items I paid for. As a long-time in store customer of Lowe's, I was appalled at the treatment I received with this online order.

    We contracted with Lowe's in Baltimore to have them install a new kitchen ($65k). The first week they sent 4 guys out to get started. The next week, and subsequent weeks, they sent ONE guy to finish the job. It took 6 months. We were pissed. A couple of years go by, as well as a move to Columbus, Ohio, and we needed another new kitchen. We liked the cabinets that Lowe's sells (Schuler) so we went to look. Their salesperson sounded very good and, after relating our Baltimore story, she assured us that she was an advocate for her buyers. That turns out to not be the case at all. Rather than working for her buyers, she, clearly, is a tool for the contractor that they use. They required payment in-full (Yes, you read that right... IN-FULL) upfront. We balked a little but decided to go with it.

    As it turns out, the reason that they require payment in-full upfront is take away any and all leverage that their customers would have when it came to the contractor actually showing up to work. It has been almost 7 weeks since they got our $50k+ payment and not a single finger has been lifted by them to do anything in this house. Nothing. We removed our existing kitchen 6 weeks ago and haven't had one since.

    Their policy is that they won't lift a finger to start ANY work on the kitchen until 100% of the products needed to finish the job are on-site and in our home. There is painting that should be done first (Prior to cabinet install), electrical work, plumbing work, removal of a doorway, 2 other door frames that need removed, a window installed, and a new floor installed but they refuse to lift a finger to do ANY of those until the end of July (2 days before we leave on a vacation that has been scheduled for MONTHS). That is when they want to start. They want us to give their contractor access to our home (these are people that we do not know) to allow them to come and go when we are gone. Unbelievable.

    I gave them an ultimatum: Start work on our home before the end of the week of July 16-20th or we were going to cancel. This morning, I got a call from their "project coordinator" to tell me that they won't be doing that. Essentially, she was telling me that they start it when they are good and fricken' ready. If YOU are looking for a new kitchen, DO NOT deal with or buy it from Lowe's. 2 different store locations, BOTH were bad service situations. Save your hard-earned money and go with a kitchen company that gives a damn about YOU, the customer. Not one that kowtows to their contractor.

    Lowes Anchorage Tikatnu - Incorrect information regarding delivery policy. Poor communication regarding delivery. Poor customer service overall from manager, delivery staff and appliance staff (telephone). On June 28, 2018, I purchased a new refrigerator. When asked whether we would have pick up or delivery, I told the salesperson that my husband was disabled and we had a stairlift in our entrance where the delivery would need to be made. I told the salesperson that the refrigerator would have to be lifted over the chair portion and then carried up the stairs. The salesperson assured me that Lowe's would work with us on the delivery. I then proceeded to request the delivery and removal of our old appliance.

    The refrigerator was not in stock but was scheduled to arrive on July 9th. On July 13th I had not been contacted and the online status did not reflect anything but the original purchase information. I called the store and after being transferred twice, an employee answered the phone, curtly asked my telephone number, stated that delivery would be the next day. When I asked why I wasn't contacted, he stated "I have no idea' and hung up on me. Then next day, I received a call at 10:44am stating delivery was delayed and wouldn't arrive until 5-6pm. The person who called was apologetic.

    At 2:36pm I received a call from the delivery person who stated they were on their way and would arrive in 20 minutes. When they arrived, an older gentleman looked at our entry way and said "this is not going to happen". I asked why and he stated they did not have room to deliver because of our stairlift. I asked if the stairlift instructions were in his paperwork and he said it was. I told him that I had been assured when I purchased the refrigerator that the delivery staff would work with us. He asked who told me that and I told him the salesperson. He stated the salesperson was incorrect and did not ask the right questions.

    When I asked him what my options were he said it was up to me, they could leave it at the door or take it back to the store. When I asked why they could not lift over the chair and even offered to remove the hand rails, he was firm that they do not lift anything. I told him I had measured and the refrigerator would fit up the stairs but needed to be lifted.

    I offered to have my sons assist and he again said, "No, we can't do that." They had a hand truck and that's how they deliver. My son took a look at the refrigerator in the truck and they had no lifting straps in their truck. At that point, I again asked what I was supposed to do. He said he'd call and speak to the store manager. He called the store, told them I was upset and that he could not deliver. He then told me that I would need to contact the store manager, Kevin. He then took photos of our stairway. I asked whether he was going to call me and he said 'no ma'am - you need to call or go to the store and talk to him'.

    At that point, I refused delivery. I then went to the store and spoke to Kevin. After I introduced myself to him, he offered no apology, no options for this situation. At that point, I told him how unprofessional I felt this was handled and his only comment was "OK". At that point I requested a refund - his only response was "OK I'll get someone to help you" and then walked away.

    There was only one customer service clerk at the counter. He then returned and stated another customer service clerk would be available shortly and walked away. Again, no attempts to assist me in resolving the situation. The customer service clerk was friendly and thanked me when, being an honest person, I caught her attempting to refund me other materials on my receipt. Needless to say, if there had been any kind of attempt to work with us to resolve the situation or even apologize, I would not be writing this review.

    Just had the most horrific experience at @Lowe's. We bought a scratch and dent dryer. Very minimal visible damage. Just two tiny scuffs and small dent. I asked the clerk to plug it in before taking it home. Was told they don't have a 220 outlet in store, but dryer is fine. This was LG model DLE3170W. After wrestling this behemoth out of the car, up a couple of steps And ledges, uninstalling the old dryer and hauling it to the side of the road, installing the 220 cord and vent ducts we turned it on. Sounds like rocks clunking around inside. **

    More backbreaking labor. Uninstalled everything, hauled it back downstairs and over ledges. Eventually got it back in the car. Was much easier with two guys helping back at @Lowe's. This completely wiped me out. And I was livid. Of course @Lowe's gave us a refund. I told them that after messing around with this for 2 1/2 hours and total exhaustion we still don't have a dryer. I suggested that after all this they owe us a brand new model with delivery and install. I already took care of that once. @Lowe's, after talking to 2 managers, now wants to charge us an additional $162. I told my husband no-go, but he wants the dryer.

    Only recourse I have is to return everything we bought at @Lowe's over the last month. This includes a Weber Charcoal Grill and chimney starter. Grand total? $164 And they won't be able to resell these used items. We will never know if this dryer is any good new out of the box, but my BTW. We bought a dishwasher from them years ago and it was a disaster. You are better off researching local independent dealers.

    I purchase a kitchen and counter in Lowe's E Bridgewater MA. I purchased on Jan 6th 2018 and completion in or about April 1st 2018. So it was delivered on February 20th 2018 and called immediately to have the installer come and examine all 29 boxes like I was told to do and they would come out to inspect to be sure no damage. I called Lowe's Point of Contact Victor ** and he called the contractor and had them send two guys out and there was one corner unit that wouldn't fit thru the door so they took off the back door instead of just taking the pins out. They unscrewed the hinges and the door hasn't closed right since it happened. So all they did was put the corner piece in the house and left. No one ✔ the other boxes and left them piled up in my kitchen and living room. So that we this was a Tuesday and we lost heat, power, electric. I have a child of 4 years and a disabled young adult with cerebral palsy mentally ** with asthma.

    We lost everything on that Friday and we have to live with 29 boxes and all my other furniture all over my home in other rooms, bathroom and bedroom. I called before all this power failure to confirm they at least would check all boxes for damages before any of this happened. They never did... No one came out Tues, Wed, Thurs or Friday. We lost power Friday. Note I called and called and finally on Monday Victor ** called and I told him what happened. He said "Mark the contractor and his brother Matt had a family they had to take care of." I am sure they had generators and their families were better taken care of than mine.

    Mark the contractor finally called in the following Wednesday that he would be out on Thursday as he was ordering his coffee at DD while flirting with the server. So I confirm I had to go to take my grandson to school and I would be back at 830 and he assured me he would be there at 8. I asked him to, "Please call me if you're gonna be late. Please call me if you're gonna be late." I left the back door open and for back at 820. I waited till 10 and no one came. Went to the gym for a call around 1015. He was at the house. I didn't respond because I don't take my phone in the gym. So I called to tell Victor and he was so adamant that I should of waited. He has other jobs. Omg. What about me, my family, my home.

    I tried to canceled my order and they refuse to give me my money back, They would give me a gift card. I paid CASH. I wanted CASH. They told me they didn't have cash in The store. I told them to go into their cash office and they refused to give me my money back. I talk to so many people. Either no will help you or they don't know what to do. The CPO are not competent to run a business from another state. So finally a lady called me. Nicole. I told her what happened and she asked to listen. Her husband works for Lowe's as a carpenter and she assured me he could do the job. I hemmed and hawed and said ok. She told me they couldn't fit me in till April 2nd 2018. I took it because of carpentry and his wife Nicole listen. Didn't treat me like dirt.

    Lowe's treats you like **. They don't listen so they started and came to look inside the boxes so 8 pieces damages and they were at that 42 days unopened. In and around my home cabinets wrong size. The designer Jim ** did his job great too! So then they reorder cabinets and I got damaged ones so I had so many damage or not acceptable drawer front cabinets. I must of had 32 drawer fronts, 3 corner doors, two cabinets and then my countertop. I was told the seam is so noticeable because the gentleman that came he states in "his professional opinion because the counter is so white it will show up." I request this statement 4 times in email or text. Never received it. But my counter is light gray with flicks of mirrors. To this day no one will respond. But thanks to JMT carpentry and Nicole I got my cabinets done yesterday July the 13th.

    I could go on and on how awful Lowe's is. The corporate office mean, disrespectful, not caring, no customer service. They need training. The people in the site don't know what they're doing. The CEO should call every customer to see how satisfied customers are but he's not man enough to do that. I ordered flooring from Brockton. They delivered it and broke my storm door. I could go on and on. It was a nightmares. I am so disgusted. This only half of what they did. Please do fact JMTcarpentry@aol.com if you want a job done right.

    We designed and purchased a 4x8 en suite bathroom remodel in late-Feb'18, to start mid-Apr'18. Materials were delivered, contractor arrived to start and found shower base was cracked. Lowe's-Piscataway NJ store said that they were re-ordering base, on rush, that date (4-18-18). Lowe's store and install office claimed it was ordered and set for delivery in 2-3 weeks. Later learned that it was not ordered until 5-2-18, then delivered to us Fri 5-25-18.

    Lowe's Central Install office (CPO) scheduled contractor pre-construction meeting for Mon, to re-start project. Contractor did not show (he was out of country, so not sure why they told us to meet with him). Contractor agent showed for a 2nd meeting that Fri 6-1-18, and gutted our bathroom. The following week more new faces - "covering" workers - arrived and none had ID. Three of the contractors on our job had "expired background check". Work was delayed another week.

    The install finally began the following week; the green board went up and the shower base was installed, including plumbing (which was accessed thru our foyer ceiling) but the base did not meet the walls, leaving a gap for the solid surface walls of the shower enclosure. Contractor and Lowe's at first claimed this was as it was supposed to be; we were told to "trust us to do our job". They suggested different ways to make-shift the space to work.

    We then contacted the manufacturer, provided pics and measurements, and were advised it was unsound to proceed. Manufacturer guidelines were to re-measure, re-order and begin again. Lowe's and contractor delayed and evaded our communications. Finally, space was re-measured 10 am 6-25-18, and measurements were called to Lowe's-Piscataway to re-order. At 4 pm we were told it was not yet ordered and "emails were exchanged on this" [with manufacturer], and it would be handled.

    At 5 pm this same day 6-25-18, we went to store, met with sales associate and Store Mgr, who agreed to complete order. We waited in store for written confirmation. On review of order, we noted that the width was correct, but depth was 1/2" short, per contractor specs. Lowe's faxed manufacturer to adjust this dimension. Papers stated estimated deliver to Lowe's store 7-16-18.

    Given all complications to date, on Fri 7-13-18, we called manufacturer to check the status of the order and were advised item never went to production and order was on hold. Manufacturer notified Lowe's store and CPO on 6-28-18 that to adjust dimensions would effect pricing, so they simply needed to cancel that PO and re-submit with new dimensions as a new PO. They provided me with date/contact/mode of eight additional contacts 6-28 thru 7-12-18, requesting Lowe's confirm the change or cancel the order. We called CPO who verified that our CPO rep contact the Lowe's store Project rep and confirmed need to correct order and issue a new PO, but nothing was done. Still awaiting resolution...

I received an email, a phone call and a text to confirm delivery on July 13, 2018 between 8:30-10:30am. I took time off of work to be present for the delivery. It was cringing on the end of the delivery timeframe so I called them. One of their reps told me that the system was showing delivery time of 5:20-6pm. I was outraged at this point and asked to speak with a supervisor. While waiting, on the other line was the delivery guy saying he was 30 minutes out.

The pastor had complained to the installers that the carpet was bubbling up in several areas. The installers said, "Don't worry, it will lay down in time and you have a years warranty on the install." The pastor asked the installer to note his complaint. Days later the cove base was falling off the wall. We contacted Lowe's and the installers, Quality Installation to report the problem and to note the floor was still bubbling up. The installers came back by to inspect and said it was not their responsibility.

    Worst customer service ever!!! We purchased a ref from Lowe’s in Carrollton, Tx on June 14 2018. It was delivered to our home on July 6, 2018. It does not work from the time it was delivered. It took us an hour to get thru to Lowe’s on the day it was delivered to advise them of the problem. When we did get thru the lady we spoke to was very flippant and could have cared less. She assured us she would have someone call us back. But of course we never heard from anyone!!! We called the store several more times and we were assured by Derek, Weldon and Jacob that the situation was being handled. But of course nothing was being done. We called the 800 number for Lowe’s customer care and spoke to a young man on Tuesday July 3, 2018. He took all the information and assured us we would be getting a call from a mgmt. team within 24 hrs. Surprise, surprise AGAIN we never heard from anyone.

    We spoke to Derek and Jacob at the Carrollton store and both told us they would pick up the bad ref today July 12, 2018. When I spoke to Derek an hour ago he said he did not think he could get it picked up today. I spoke to a young lady at the 800 number (she would not give me her name). She was far from helpful and pretty much said I would have to live with not getting it picked up today Totally unacceptable. I then spoke to Corina a supervisor at Lowe’s corporate. She called the Carrollton store and spoke to another asst mgr named Carolyn. I am supposed to get a call from Carolyn between 2 and 4 today to let me know if she could help. I’m not holding my breath that I will get a call judging from the previous track record of callbacks. Nor do I expect Lowe’s to live up to their promise to have the ref picked up today.

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. I ordered a washer/dryer set online and received a confirmation of purchase and delivery. Two days later, I received a call from Lowe's - somehow, half of my delivery was cancelled and could not be fulfilled for another month in the middle of a workday. There was no apology - in fact, I was transferred to someone who INSISTED that I was the one who had cancelled my delivery. I explained my situation - I started work in two weeks and I just moved - I really needed the washer/dryer. I was then transferred to a salesman who basically told me I was an idiot and I should just order something else instead of trying to get what I paid for. I explained that we'd researched the available products and I didn't want the other sets he was trying to sell me. I cancelled the order. He was apathetic and sarcastically told me to have a nice day.

    I found another set I would be happy with. I decided this time to go into the store - I thought it would be a different experience. The associate was nice. She confirmed the set was in stock and scheduled a delivery. Surprise surprise - they attempted to deliver it a day early (I was at work). I called customer service and was told I'd have to reschedule delivery. I explained that I did but the delivery came a day early. She argued with me until I found the confirmation. I was then told that there's no real way to guarantee a scheduled delivery. I said that was ridiculous and referenced their website which GUARANTEES scheduled deliveries within a certain time frame. She proceeded to explain to me how the Lowe's IT system works and how this was some kind of IT issue.

    I was forced the accept a much later delivery date. I must have spoken with at least 10 different customer service reps and almost every single one of them had an attitude, treated me like I was an idiot and/or expressed that this was somehow my fault. I've worked in customer service for years. I'm not a difficult person and it takes a lot for me to get upset, even when something goes wrong. I cannot believe I was treated this way by so many different people. I was spending close to $2000 and they treated me like I was complaining about a $20 purchase. This was the worst customer service experience of my life.

    I recently purchased an LG Instaview Refrigerator, Stove, Microwave and Dishwasher. From the very beginning this entire process was a nightmare. Couldn’t seem to get my order straight at the store. After countless hours of going back and forth from the register to the service desk I finally thought everything was resolved. I received a call that my delivery was coming on July 6th. My delivery came with everything except the stove that apparently was never ordered because I was accused of not paying for it when I clearly had a receipt to disprove that.

    The Lowe’s employees began to carry my refrigerator in. Upon doing so they destroyed everything in their path. I have huge chunks of drywall missing in my entire entryway, chunks out of my baseboards and scratches all over my walls. When they got the refrigerator to my kitchen it was destroyed. Dents and scratches all over it. No apologies from the workers in fact they couldn’t get out of my house quick enough. As far as the install in the dishwasher...it was installed and ran with all the plastic and styrofoam still inside. Also, a big purple tab was inside that said remove before running. Apparently that didn’t matter to the installer.

    I paid for installation for the microwave but the installer decided he couldn’t get my old one out so he left the new one laying on my kitchen floor and only put one bolt back in the old one. So my microwave was hanging by one bolt. He also proceeded to tell me that he doesn’t make any money doing these installs so he doesn’t really care about the work that he does. That was quite obvious. I am beyond livid and totally disgusted with the terrible customer service that I received at Lowe’s. I’m not one to write bad reviews but after this experience I want to warn everyone about the incompetence and carelessness of Lowe’s employees.

    The sales associate was adequate from a customer service standpoint. She separated my washer and dryer and dishwasher purchases to 2 separate receipts. This ended up costing me $46.00 in lost discount from my 10% discount coupon. They should be better trained to maximize the consumer's discount, not shortchange them.

    I went way out of my way to shop at Lowe's. We only have Home Depot in my town. I purchased a stove. Upon delivery, 2 days later, it was damaged. I rejected the stove, and called customer service. I scheduled delivery for another stove, same model. They said they would call me a day in advance to confirm. No call. Then this morning the warehouse calls and said the driver put in their notes that I WAS NOT READY! Really? I've been waiting for days. I have no other way to cook for my family. I'm spending lots of money eating out because I have no way to cook. Now, they say they can't deliver until tomorrow "if they rush it". I will NEVER buy another appliance through them.

Plus me and my Nephew dug up one of the posts, and found no cement in or around the post. And I didn’t watch him put in the fence.

    My husband is a disabled veteran that has served 5 tours in the Middle East during the Iraqi War. We moved in May of 2018 and needed a fence installed at our new home in Sarasota. I received fence quotes from 5 companies before I spoke with the Lowe's on Central Sarasota Parkway. All of the other companies realized we needed a permit for a fence in Sarasota and included that in their quote. When I spoke to Lowe's, I neglected to ask about the permit because after speaking to all the other fence companies I was just assuming their quote included the permit. (My bad, I know but are they not a professional fence installation company?) I chose Lowe's because with my husband’s Veteran’s Discount Lowe's was about $150 less than the other quote we were considering.

    On May 24th, I paid for the fence in full for a “Contract Total” of $2,370.80. I checked online a few times to see if the permit was applied for. After a couple of weeks and not seeing anything, I called the store. A woman named Nancy is the person I spoke to. Nancy seems nice enough but she is utterly incompetent. Nancy was unaware that a permit was required in Sarasota, the same city her store is located in, and had to “check” although I assured her a permit absolutely was required. From start to finish, it took 4 WEEKS for Lowe's to apply for a permit with the City of Sarasota.

    I was told by Nancy that I would have to pay for the permit. I asked several times and was told that she did not know how much the permit would be. After looking at my contract, NOWHERE on that contract does it state that the cost of any shortage of materials (or permit costs) in the contract price agreed upon by Lowe's would be borne by the customer. On June 26th, I saw on the Sarasota permit website that the permit had been approved. Another 4 days went by before Lowe's picked up that permit. The entire time I was being told by Nancy that the permit was not approved although I could clearly see the approval online.

    This is FIVE weeks that were wasted by Lowe's and the sheer incompetence of their employees. My fence install was finally scheduled for July 5th. Late in the day on July 3rd, I received a call from Nancy saying the permit was $320 and I would have to pay it before my fence was installed. I said I would absolutely not pay that extra amount based upon the fact that it was Lowe's omission and the fact that Lowe's had already wasted 5 weeks of my time. She called back and said that Lowe's would cover 1/2 the permit cost but I would still need to pay the $160.

    Now, I could have paid $150 more at the onset, gone with the other company that was slightly higher but knew I needed a permit and had my fence installed over a month ago. I chose Lowe's purely because of the Veteran’s Discount. I did speak to my attorney about this that evening and he clearly stated that if the contract price is $2370.80 and there is no additional language to support Lowe's claim then they cannot force me to pay that $320 due to their error. Long story short, I spent over an hour on the phone last night with the Lowe's store manager and their 800 customer service people. I was waiting on a call from a VPSO (whatever that is) when I got a call this morning from the store installation manager Michael saying if I didn’t pay the $160 then my fence would not be installed.

    I called the 800 number back and spoke to a supervisor named Greg. He said the offer for $160 for the permit was their final resolution and if I was unhappy with that I could write a letter and a “neutral party” at Lowe's HQ would review it. SERIOUSLY??? With such horrible customer service and incompetence on the front end of this transaction, I decided it would be best to ask for a refund and move on. I can’t even imagine what a nightmare it would be if there was an issue with the fence after it was installed.

    I was referred back to the store. Of course, they do not have $2370.80 to refund to me today. I am going in at 1:00 tomorrow and I am suppose to be refunded by someone named Adolfo. I imagine I will waste at least another hour there trying to get this rectified. The end result is that Lowe's is still out the $320 for the permit and now are having to refund me in full for the fence. How does this make any sense? I will never step foot in a Lowe's again. Their Veteran’s Discount means absolutely nothing if this is how they treat their esteemed veteran customers, their practices with regard to their contract if wholly illegal and their employees are utterly incompetent.

It has been leaning since February and one part was ruined by a wind storm. Mind you no one else fence in our neighborhood was ruined, which to me says it was a crappy job from the beginning. We complained to Lowe's and were told that they could not do anything about it because it wasn't their fault; even though the fence was built LESS than a month prior. It was confirmed later by the contractor himself that they had not put enough concrete to make it structurally sound (something we already knew).

    We have been back and forth with the contractor since February with NO resolve! I have plenty of pictures to show just how bad the fence is leaning, and Lowe's will NOT take responsibility for it! We are now in July and no resolution. Now we are looking for other contractors to fix a problem that should have been fixed months ago. This will cost a couple thousand more. It is ridiculous.

It finally arrived around June 28th which is over six weeks. I collected it yesterday and have tried today to fit it into one of the new bathroom cabinets I bought, it doesn’t fit…The depth is way off. I tried three times shaving off some of the wood from behind where the sink would sit, that didn’t work. I tried cutting pieces of wood out from behind the front of the cabinet, that didn’t work. I have now had to cut a whole piece of wood from my new cabinet just to make the sink fit.

    I was told the basin of the sink would be centered in the 24” sink vanity, it isn’t. There are at least 7 inches from the backsplash to the sink and 5 inches from the backsplash to the faucet… Why since there is only 3 inches from the sink to the front of the vanity? There is no overflow whatsoever, why? You may ask why I didn’t return the sink??? Possibly because I didn’t want to wait another 2 months for a new one. I'm beyond disgusted with everything about this sink and now I have no choice but to live with it. I would at the very least like a refund, when in fact I should demand a new sink made to the specifications Lowe's were given in the first place. This is not how I ordered it, this sink looks ridiculous. It will be cold day in hell before I ever order anything custom made from Lowe's.

Like had happened a couple of weeks before, with flowers, the register showed full price.

I, assertively but not rude, tried to tell her about the sign, but rudely she covered her ears.

(The manager said that they were busy in the back, but my husband observed the salesman in the lounge.) It was the store's decision not to have anyone available to sell to customers during his dinner break.

    Now for the fun part...they didn't have any of the machine that we wanted available and sent us to the Havertown Store. Four Lowe's employees told me that Lowe's had cut back on personnel to save money...some at each store.

    To make this long story as short as possible - we hired them because we thought Lowe's would provide good customer service and quality work. Boy were we wrong! They started later than promised, some days no one would show up, no communication at all. Before the work was done they disappeared, did not return our calls, and when we called the store manager and even corporate, all they did was refer us back to the original contractor who abandoned us and did not return our calls.

    Here is just a short list of what we were left with - no shelves in the pantry, dishwasher that floods the kitchen, cracked grout along the length of the backsplash, washer and dryer that stick out 18 inches from the wall instead of the 6 inches they showed us in the plan, drawers that do not close, a new toilet that does not shut off, shower door that does not open all the way, handle falls off the shower door, and they even put the shelves in the bathroom cabinet with only three pegs instead of four so they are useless. When they installed the ice maker in the fridge it leaked into our basement and destroyed the sheetrock. They replaced the sheetrock but left it for us to spackle and repaint at our own expense. The wood floor they installed has such big spaces between the boards that it hurts to walk on in your bare feet. The wood floor of the hallway and the tile floor of the bathroom do not meet so there is an inch of the underlying wood showing.

    Do NOT use Mount Pocono Lowe's! Joyce will be nice to you at first but as soon as the job starts she could care less about any problems and will ignore your calls. The crew they have is actually a bunch of guys in the same family who are not professionals, and their work is sloppy and shoddy.

    I purchased a new LG washer and dryer at Lowe’s Home Improvement in East Asheville, NC on 05/24/2018. Delivery was to occur on 05/27/2018. On that day 2 Lowe’s employee arrived at my home and attempted to remove my washer and dryer. The dryer was removed without incident. My old washer was dropped onto one of my main water lines by the Lowe's employee. My laundry room flooded because Lowe’s delivery person did not have a “key” to turn off the main water line. My laundry room and crawl space flooded. Initially the store manager was accommodating then he turned everything over to Lowe’s insurance company. I contacted Servpro to come to my house. After 4 days of dryers and dehumidifier in laundry room and crawl space, my rooms were somewhat dry.

    My AC air ducts were cut in two places to remove the water in my crawl space. My damaged carpet, padding and vapor barrier were removed. I then started obtaining estimates for repairs. An insurance adjuster came to my home then submitted all paperwork, including Servpro bills to Lowe’s Home Improvement. Lowe’s has agreed to pay only $300 to replace my carpeting although my estimate is for $700.00. Lowe’s is not willing to cover my time and my husband’s time away from work to allow all of the repairs. I have asked Lowe’s to pay for weekly visits to the laundromat to wash and dry our clothing for myself and my husband.

    Six weeks later and I still do not have my washer and dryer. I have asked Lowe’s for a 20% discount off the price of the washer and dryer for the inconvenience and this was denied. I have asked for reimbursement of water bill and electric bill and this was denied. I have asked for additional monies to cover the cost to replace the flooring in my laundry room and this was denied. It was a Lowe’s employee who damaged my home and Lowe’s is refusing to pay in full for costs required to have my laundry room back to original condition plus the anguish and costs to myself and my husband due to having to miss work.

    I should not have to pay for the repairs to my home and I should not have to use my (or my husband) personal vacation time to be home to accommodate the drying of rooms, the estimates and the repairs of my laundry room and crawl space. This damage was due to an incompetent Lowe’s employee who did not receive adequate training in delivery of appliances or did not have adequate experience to be delivering these appliances.

Still could not give me even a four hour window as to delivery time but if I call Tuesday morning they could. Called Tuesday morning, still could not be given any window of time but the customer service agent told me that it would "most likely if they follow their schedule" be in the later afternoon and they'd call 30 min prior to arrival.

    On Tuesday I was at work just 2 blocks from my home waiting on the call. I went home for lunch and found a note saying they had already been and were not able to deliver it!! The ticket said they were there at 12:30pm. It was not even 12:30 in the day yet. I called the Lowe's store several times and everyone I spoke to, including managers were very rude and unhelpful. They could not even now tell me if the delivery would be attempted later today or tomorrow or not at all. I was sent to the wrong department multiple times.

    I was told a manager would call me back and I was never called back. I was accused of lying, that they had been there at 12:30 which is interesting cause I'd been on the phone complaining about the missed delivery since 12:15. Eventually I had to reset to delivery for Thursday, now 9 days since my purchase, and still no window of time for delivery was available. Again I want to note that everyone I spoke to was condescending, accusative, unwilling to help and generally had the attitude that they didn't really care if I ever saw another refrigerator for the rest of my life. 0/10 would not recommend.

    On 5/14/2018 I purchased from Denver, NC Store #2636 a Refrigerator with ice maker delivery date of 6/3/18. On 6/2/18 I contacted Lowe's as a follow up on my delivery date and found out the date had been moved to 6/16/18. Unacceptable. Then I contacted customer service to 6/2/18 to find out why and got no answer. I asked to speak to the store manager and could not reach him. Message left to call. No call. Later that evening received a call from CDT delivery and was informed my delivery date was moved again to 8/24/18 if I was to get one at all. Suggested I look for another refrigerator of compromise. I did research two other Lowe's in the area to see if they had the Refrigerator I wanted and on the website it was available to pick up on that date. Called the Lowe's and after talking with them and explaining situation.

    Upon their checking found out that none of the Lowe's Store in the area had any as the warehouse that supplies them had none and next delivery would be in August. I don't understand why Denver Store could not have given me the information and be honest. It is a lack of communication between Staff and customers. On 6/8/18 I physically went to the store and ordered the next size and hope it fit in my designated space. My delivery date 6/12/18. It took two delivery dates one for the Refrigerator and one for the ice maker as they did not load it on the first trip. The reason I was disappointed with my experience was one my brother was installing the ice maker as Lowe's does not do it and I do not have the skills to do it.

    He was here on vacation. When we were in Lowe's getting the necessary items to install the ice maker the Appliance Rep throw her hands up and said, "I am through with you," and walked away. I was given 15% off the refrigerator at the time of delivery. I had to follow up on that as I did not trust it would be done. I checked my account the next day and it was not applied. I called and finally got it taken care of. It took 1 full month and a lot of blaming and not being honest and upfront with the customer.

    I had many friends and relatives recommend Lowe's but I will not order anything again as it is too frustrating and stressful. If I had not promised my refrigerator to someone else I would not have purchased this item. My issue is that I was not informed in a timely manner and I was not treated like I was a valuable customer. I was and still very upset and disappointed with the service I received. My suggestion is to be honest with customers and tell them of any delays and not wait for the customer to call them and find out. Just because I am a woman should not be a reason to take advantage of my purchased. Thank you for listening.

    We purchased a Samsung Steam Washer & Steam Dryer during an April 2018 sale. The appliances were back ordered 45 days (I think they came from overseas where they’re manufactured). The wait period was no problem since our new laundry room was under construction and in fact Lowe’s held them for us for almost 3 additional weeks. When they were delivered the washer was fine, the dryer however had 2 broken power attachment terminals. We called the department 3 times trying to get (A) repairs (B) a replacement.

    I was told that it’d been more than the allowable 30 days since purchasing and therefore there could be no replacement. I asked in all 3 calls to the store and 2 calls to the repair center for repair service, none was offered. I was told I could return/cancel the dryer and reorder but the cost had gone up $200.00 and the dryer would not be available for 7! weeks!! I was asked if the color was all that important to me (I’d bought gray). I told the salesman that I’d bought a pair, I wanted it to look like a pair not a mismatched jubble sale purchase! We ended up canceling and returning both appliances, I had to go into the store to get the refund processed. (That part went better than any attempt at repair/replacement). We bought a different brand at a local appliance store.

    On June 17, I ordered a Maytag washing machine online at Lowe’s. We were given a delivery date of 6/21 and the confirmation email stated we would be called the evening before or the morning of with a two hour delivery time. On 6/21 we had not yet received a call so I contacted customer service to find out when the truck was scheduled to be at my home that day. I was told that my delivery date was scheduled 7/3. I knew nothing of it and the service rep stated that a call was made to us with the delivery change on 6/18. We received no such call or email that delivery was delayed. I asked why the change and was told that the item was at the store but delivery trucks were behind.

    I asked if it was possible for us to just pick up at the store since the rep told me that the washing machine was at the store. She said we and could do that and then transferred me to the store manager. He told me that it would be ready to pick up anytime and that they would change this order from delivery to pick up. When my husband went to pick it up, he was told that it was still waiting to be pulled for delivery. Then the employee at the store pickup desk was unable to make the changes in computer from delivery to pickup which was what the store manager told me that he took care of while on the phone that morning. Then the employee could not find the machine.

    After some time in the store, he found it, or so we thought. It wasn't to correct model. Now he goes back into the systems and states the item was back-ordered. NOBODY seems to know anything. After a long time, they found it. I have now called to complain about poor service and were told that they would check into what went wrong. I was also told that we would received at 10% discount for our troubles. Our card was charged and no discount given. I called to find out why discount wasn't given and were told that they would check and get back to us shortly. No callback. I am not holding my breath. I will never buy from Lowe's again.

    I chose Lowe's for a kitchen remodel in early March, we scheduled a time to come and measure the space. They came up, took a bunch of measurements and asked me what I envisioned for my kitchen and we set up a time to come in see the design and shop for my new kitchen. At this point I was beyond excited. The way this experience was sold to me was amazing. I truly trusted them and felt comfortable. After we were approved for 30,000 and shopped for our new kitchen, the amazing experience and accommodations were gone. We were told 4 wks til start but it was 6 weeks. The contractors come in blind with no communication from the seller or designer of the space and the contractors don't care. Literally they said, "Not my fault. Not my problem," to me.

    As the project progressed I was meet by a project manager to oversee everything, I saw and spoke to her once. She oversaw nothing and communicated nothing to me through the first 5 weeks of project I reached out with no response for 3days. We were due a REFUND on our countertops and when they couldn't immediately reach they threatened to delay our project over a refund. The measurements they initially took were only for cabinet space. Not one measurement account for the fridge or stove which guess what didn't fit.

    When they realized that on the final day of the project it was, "Oh well, we'll order you different one." So of course we did, and I got a call saying it would be here and I cleared my schedule to wait for delivery and was told, "Oops. It's not coming til following day." I called store manager who threatened to send my fridge back if I wasn't ok with the next day, but the next day I was told it was coming again and I waited all day for two days, and at 7 o'clock at night received a call saying they would be here in two hours. 9 o'clock at night they never showed, so I trusted this company. Believed I was in good hands. In all honesty I knew I should have go to Home Depot. As Lowe's says "Never stop improving". They should take their own advice. And yes my fridge is still nowhere to be found.

    Let me first start out by saying I will be taking my 2,500k plus a month to Home Depot. I purchased three appliances on June 14, 2018. Pickup in store was scheduled for June 20, 2018. I bought the appliances online and paid with a $500 gift card and put the remaining balance on a credit card. I call Lowe's on the scheduled pickup day only to be told my items were at the store but my ordered was canceled by their receiving system. Since my order was canceled the gift was also canceled. Their system Sterling which handles the gift cards would issue me a new one and it was going to take 7-10 business days to receive it in the mail. They told me my only option was to come in to the store, pick up the appliances and pay full price. Then once I got the gift card in two weeks then I could drive back to the store again and exchange the gift card for $500 cash.

    I told them that was not acceptable and I was not going out of my way to accommodate their mess up. I called the 800 number and the rep also agreed what they were asking me to do was ridiculous and he would escalate the case and I should be getting a call from the store manager. The store is in Camden, Delaware. The store called me back but it was not the manager and told me the same BS story. I asked to talk to the manager and the customer rep told me it was a man named Steven and he would call back. Needless to say four hours later I had to call him because he did not return my call. When I spoke to him he gave me no other options and did not to try to help out with the situation. He told me he would call the gift card company and see what he could do and would call me right back... Well once again he never called me back. This manager was Steven from the Camden, Delaware store.

    I just purchased a home and have been without appliances for a week and Lowe's customer service is a joke. I don’t understand how I bought and paid for an order and my appliances are sitting at the store ready to be picked up and THEY cannot honor their mistake. Why should I have to wait 7-10 days for a new gift card because their system canceled my order when it was being delivered. Three people including the manager told me this new system has some glitches. That is NOT my problem and why should I be inconvenienced because their system is terrible. I just want to go pick up my appliances that I already paid for.

    There is a pool of dried blood in my living room, sitting there since Saturday, 6/18/18 (2.5 days now and blood was all over the carpet and kitchen countertops). A 3-day job turned into a 3.5 week (and counting) job and our home is currently unsafe. My husband was on the phone with Lowe's from 8:30 through 4 PM today and hung up on multiple times. Sent emails to multiple Executives with no response. Finally reached an Executive customer service rep who said she needed to "research" and get back to us tomorrow after my husband asked them to put us in a hotel where we can safely live until clean up and work is resolved and even with that, she needed to "research."

    We've been living where a construction worker bled all over the place, shards of tile and nails popping up everywhere and unsafe egresses and no resolution on any of it still. Home Depot had a project manager onsite and on call to check up on their project we purchased with them last year. He followed through and even kept in touch afterwards. Lowe's has no one in that capacity. There are rumors of this ghost person but you can't ever get to anyone with the clout to send that person out, in person, to help. A $10,000 flooring job has turned into a nightmare. I'll add more about the actual workmanship down the road. For now, I need to feel safe in my own home.

    UPDATE: We've been authorized to stay at a hotel. We'll see if they go back on their word to pay that bill. We've been promised so much at this point with no delivery. Still no word directly from Lowe's leadership and still waiting on how they plan to clean up the blood and get this all resolved. To the leadership, if the people your customer has been working with all along have not gotten far (most likely due to Corporate red tape and policies), don't just brush a complaint email aside by hitting the forward button. Chances are, they'll offer the same help they did before and either not follow through or have the inability to authorize certain things again. The only person who has shown any compassion and continues to try to help is Melissa ** in your Customer Care division.

    Lowe's has very helpful hard working employees, that is never the problem. New technology and insufficient number or insufficiently paid employees is causing the real problems, just as with other retail stores. Example: I made an online order to pick up some plastic panels in the Benton Harbor Lowe's store. I got a message the order was complete so I planned to be there in a few hours. When I called to confirm before I left, an employee researched and told me they have none in stock, and later that they never expected to have any.

    So I spent several hours in three days identifying that the same item I ordered was available in another Lowe's store in Niles, about an hour away. (I try to avoid that because the cost of my truck is 78 cents per mile. I could probably have had them shipped to me, but I spent too much time on this already and just wanted it settled immediately!)

    A lot of this was an automatic computer reply by cell phone messages, and I had to change the words sometimes just to match the computer interpretation. Then three hours after a reply that an employee would answer me, an employee confirmed they had 30 of them. I replied with how many I wanted and when I would arrive, expecting they would be at the pick-up desk.

    The employee at the store when I arrived had no record of my order, but was very helpful of taking me to the shelf to confirm and rolled out the cart for me to make the purchase, but he had to leave his place of duty to accomplish this. This is typical in most stores now. They give the best service they can, but the real source of the problem is customers who want things cheap. It is impossible to reduce the price without less or lower paid employees. Just as things made by slaves in China, our nation is destroying itself caring more about money than our citizens!

    In the beginning of March 2018 I had a representative from Lowe's come to my home and give estimates to have 11 windows and sliders replaced. The representative by the name of Chance was very nice and professional. We did not come to an agreement on price until several days later. During that time Chance stayed very professional, helpful, and was quick to answer any questions I had when I called. Once we agreed on a price things were finally on their way. Meaning windows had to be made and the installation company was to call me and schedule an install time. This process took over a month to take place. My credit card was charged on 3-2-18 and my install was on 4-13-18. Other than waiting over a month for the install I thought things were going decent.

    Now here is where things start to take a turn for the worst. The installer came out and installed everything except for 1 slider in the master bedroom. He said that they built the slider to open from the wrong side. Being that this problem had to be fixed the installer only partially installed the door. He assumed Lowe's would replace it with the correct one and he would be back out to install the new slider. So he only partially installed the defective one. Boy was he ever wrong!

    After a week goes by without hear from Chance or any other representative I call Chance to make sure he was aware of the problem and get an idea of when it would be corrected. Chance assured me that he was aware and gave me two options to resolve the problem. 1 being he could offer a "hefty" discount on the slider of $500.00 or option 2 replace the entire door with one that opens from the proper side. I chose option 2 because I didn't want any weird things like that within my home. I sent Chance a text so that I would have record of which option I chose. This was on April 20, 2018.

    Chance then called the next day and informed me that he had started the process for the new slider. So after a month goes by and not hearing from Chance or anyone for that matter I call him again. He says that my new slider is in and it's been there for at least a week and he doesn't know why anyone has not contacted me yet but he will submit it again and some will call and set up the install within a couple of days. This was roughly around May, 20th. After a week with no call I then call the store thinking I could possibly get some answers and maybe get my issue resolved. I spoke with a women who stated she was a supervisor. I informed her of what was going on, she then looked at my account and saw that the slider was in store and that some would be calling me to schedule an installation time. Great!

    So after another week of not hearing from anyone I call the store again. Ask to speak with the supervisor and she now tells me that the original installer (Romain) is no longer working with Lowe's and they have new installers and that was the reason for the delay. She at that time assured me that the new installers would contact me within a day or two for my installation. I said to her that every time I call someone says that they are going to call me back and no one EVER does. I asked if she could please call me back the next day and give me an update even if there is nothing to update me about just so I wasn't waiting around. She assured me that she would call me personally whether there was new info or not.

    Again... another week goes by and I have not heard a word. Now I am bit annoyed and frustrated as the weather is heating up and I'd like to use my slider to allow a nice breeze through the room. Now I'm headed down to the store in person thinking I was going to get some much need answers with at least an apology which I have not gotten up to this point. While on my drive down I called Chance to let him know I was on my way to the store. And yep Chance doesn't answer. He isn't so eager to answer my calls or questions anymore now that he already has my money. Now that I am here at Lowe's talking with 2 of the staff in the windows department and hearing everything that I was told on the phone, "Your slider is here, it's been here for weeks, we have a new installer company," yada yada.

    I find out that the supervisor is a man named Adam. So who the heck was the women I've been talking to for the last 2 weeks that said she was the supervisor. Liars!!! Now I have to start laying the details out for Adam (the real Supervisor). After hearing what was going on Adam goes off somewhere to verify my story and try and get some answers. During that time Chance walks by me twice. YES TWICE!!! And never said a word to me. He knew why I was there. Remember I just called him. So unprofessional. So Adam is back now and he begins to regurgitate all the things I've been told time and time again over the last several weeks.

    At this point it's a joke! Next Adam takes my info (name and phone number) and assures me that I'd be receiving a call shortly from the new installers. Oh and he also states that the new installers have to come out and take their own measurements before they install the slider that was already in the store that someone has already came out and measured!!! And yes that means after they come out to measure we then have to set yet another date for the install.

    THIS IS CRAZY. Well I'm sure by now you what happens next. Another week goes by and I haven't heard a damn thing. How about just giving me my money back! No consumer should ever have to go through this. What a waste of my time having to contact them over and over again for their mistake, only to be lied to. Now I have to waste even more time for them to come back out to my home not once but twice. As if I have the time for that. This is beyond unprofessional. At this rate summer will be over by the time the slider is installed. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!

First mistake. I chose my "home store" online and assumed all appliances would be ordered and delivered by them. Wrong! When ordering online, they pull from the closest store possible that has it in stock. For some reason they chose North Conway for my range, because God knows why?! (They didn't have it in stock either!)

    Placed order on May 25th and got a notice saying they would deliver within a few days. I told the guy we wouldn't need them until June so a few day delivery wouldn't be necessary. I also received information from the same customer service rep that I was all set to have my dishwasher installed when it was delivered (we have been working with a plumber and told him we wouldn't need him to install it because it was already being taken care of by Lowe's).

    First delivery date more than a week and a half later was rescheduled due to our range not being in. We received a call the night prior to the initial delivery date stating that half of our order would be coming from one store (Auburn) and the other half wasn't ready (North Conway). I explained to them I had no idea that my order was coming from multiple places and needed them all to come at the same time. We don't even occupy the space they were being delivered to yet! They expected me to coordinate the delivery time between the two stores because I couldn't be available for two different delivery times/dates for my ONE single online ORDER.

    After speaking with several customer service reps, store manager, I opted to just get half delivered a few days later because I realized the North Conway order was looking like it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. This is when the person on the phone informed me that they would be dropping my dishwasher off and would not be installing it because I hadn't set that up. North Conway said it was expected the next day or two and I got another delivery date from them... a few days later I got a call saying they shattered the glass on the front of the range and asked us if we wanted them to reorder it, but we would need to wait until June 28th at the earliest for delivery. They offered no discount or solution to rectify the mess and inconvenience. I WOULD NEVER EVER recommend online appliance purchasing from Lowe's to anyone!! What a hassle!

    Damaged flooring and full reimbursement. I am asking for full reimbursement of the carpet/installation in addition to the damaged kitchen floor caused by installers. I ordered carpet back in September 2017. I tried calling to schedule installation 3 times and going to the store to get someone to call back. 3 weeks later we finally got a call. All the while, we were living out of boxes, having to move boxes around to get to stuff, and relocate boxes. It took 4 trips from Lowe's installers over a period of about 2 months to complete the job due to continuous errors.

    In the meantime, my wife had just recovered from a life threatening bacterial infection. She would schedule her home healthcare nurse to be there around Lowe's getting the installation done, and it didn't happen. There were days Lowe's installers were due to complete the job, and instead had wrong materials etc. There were days my wife had nowhere in the house to get her home healthcare done due to the continued flubs caused by Lowe's and their installers. In addition, it was important to get the job completed by mid November before my wife got home from her 2 month stay at the hospital. However since the installer didn't call back for 3 weeks, this did not happen. Instead of a situation where she needed to recover from this trauma, she instead was exposed to countless carpet fibers, dust and bacteria, living out of boxes and totes, etc.

    After the carpet was fully installed, we noticed deep scratches in their 6 month old kitchen floor. I called Lowe's to let them know. It took the installers about 3 weeks to come out to inspect the damage - and again scheduled visits were no shows or they called at 9 PM the night before to reschedule. The installer finally came and said the damage was clearly caused by furniture skids put on the floor by the installers. The installer agreed to pay $2500 for the damaged flooring CAUSED BY THEM. The check was to have been mailed last week Tuesday May 1. Thus far we have not received it. I can't get any straight answers from Lowe's. We are waiting for this reimbursement to schedule their replacement kitchen flooring.

    I am also asking for the full $3776.86 we paid for the carpet/installation to also be reimbursed due to the major headaches/fiascoes/nightmares involved in this. Is this Lowe's way of preying on the elderly and infirm? Sure seems like it. We had always bought appliances from Lowe's prior to this, and in all honesty, how Lowe's handles this will determine if we ever do business with Lowe's again, and also myself, their friends, my friends, my siblings, etc. Lowe's seems to think the $2500 reimbursement for the flooring is enough. WRONG. We didn't ask for their floors to be damaged while installing carpeting... I started my communication with Lowe's back in January and get nothing but the runaround and rude treatment, along with the insults of their piddly attempts.

    I will never order anything again from Lowe's. I ordered a tub and shower wall surround from Lowes.com and we had to wait a long time for it to come in. Then it came in and I called the Southaven, MS store to let them know when we would pick it up and to please have it ready and up front to be picked up when we got to the store we were there for an hour and twenty minutes waiting for them to locate it. When we got our contractor to come install it he had torn the walls down in our bathroom to install it and then he opened the box and it had been destroyed by a forklift so we had to return it and reorder it.

    We only have one bathroom so there's plastic on the walls to protect the inside walls from water. We were told that the order would be rush delivery due to our circumstances. We were given dates of arrival and it never came. Then about 5 or 6 days after that I got a call from Matt ** saying that the vendor quit making it and they had nothing comparable so I had to get a refund. I ask if we could get cash back since it was a debit purchase and he said yes we could. When we got to the store the next day we were told we couldn't by the cashiers at customer service.

    The cashier called Matt ** a supervisor to help us and he was in appliances helping other people and would not come up front to help us until I called corporate on him while I was in the store. He told my husband it would be 10 or 15 more minutes even after we had been there trying to resolve this after for over an hour again. He finally came up front to customer service and refunded the money to my husband. I will never do business with them again they lost a good customer that spends quite a bit on home improvements.

    I ordered $1400 worth of Sheetrock, wood, insulation and plumbing supplies from Lowe's Bethlehem, PA and my guys waiting for delivery to do the work. They delivered on time only the Sheetrock and transferred the rest of the delivery to the Lowe's in Hazleton, PA. The Lowe's in Hazleton did not deliver or call me to let me know what was going on. I called them after 4 days of waiting for my shipment and spoke to Todd the Shipping and Receiving Manager and he scheduled the delivery, but they did not deliver in the end.

    I called the delivery department again, and they apologized and said I can cancel the order. So I cancelled and placed the order again at a different Lowe's in Wilkes Barre, PA and explained the situation that happened with Lowe's Hazleton to make sure they did not send this order to the Lowe's in Hazleton, but they did the same thing and assigned the order to Hazleton.

    Now Hazleton once again scheduled the delivery and did not show up with my materials. I called the delivery company they use and they told me that Lowe's Hazleton cancelled the delivery again. I just called again and spoke with Todd the Shipping and Receiving Manager and he was very dismissive acting like he doesn’t know what is going on and stating he will call me back, but he never calls me back. I have lost money having my guys sit there waiting for the order and waiting over three weeks for $1400 worth of supplies to be delivered.

    Ordered a Kitchen remodel from Lowe's, paid for in October of 2017. The cabinet provider being KraftMaid. I'm a skilled carpenter, retired. My wife did not want me having to perform the construction of the cabinets and installation being I am retired. I informed her the propensity for it to be screwed up by a "home improvement store" was pretty much guaranteed. She said "give them a chance."

    Problems encountered: The database KraftMaid sends to Lowe's to use for constructing kitchen layout's is not accurate in reflecting the actual cabinet sizes you can obtain. What KraftMaid has in their production database doesn't match what Lowe's has in theirs. Lowe's has a severe problem in its management of projects; it does not maintain continuity of a project in all phases using the same project manager.

    There is a horrific breakdown in quality assurance of delivered products. Lowe’s does not adhere to its own contract requirements to inspect all delivered components within the 10 day inspection period. They waited a month. Consequently, the cabinets delivered that were the wrong size. Five out of 16 cabinets were not discovered to be the wrong size until the installers attempted installation.

    The owner of the installing contracting company failed to correctly measure the out the cabinet requirements, corrected by me with a Lowe's representative on site. The run measurement was off by 3 inches, the reason for the cabinets coming in the wrong size. It was discovered KraftMaid will not make cabinets requiring dimensions outside its "cookie cutter" CNC production process. KraftMaid refuses to manually input a change to its CNC jigs and relies on filler strips to compensate fitting of cabinets.

    Lowe's failed to follow up on production timelines and follow up. Apparently the working relationship between Lowe's and KraftMaid is lose at best. KraftMaid basically dictates to Lowe's when production will take place and couldn't care less the impact to the Lowe's customer. Lowe's on the other hand doesn't have the fortitude to demand KraftMaid expedite replacements cabinets when received and identified by shipping labels one size, yet KraftMaid sending a completely different product. Lowe's does not send out a representative on a periodic basis to inspect and make sure the installation is being correctly accomplished. Likely because Lowe's does not have the skilled people to perform the function. I had to teach one of the installers how to repair a cabinet incorrectly drilled for the sink plumbing.

    One cabinet had to be reordered 3 times. Twice because Lowe's sent in the wrong measurement and once more because KraftMaid didn't pay attention to the order request. Lowe's project manager failed to order proper hardware for cabinet face installation. Delays and reorders have amounted to 9 months for the currently incomplete installation of the kitchen cabinets.

    I could have constructed and installed the cabinets in a 2 month period all by myself. Lowe's, due its horrific management over job projects and using a dismal product provider has convinced me to never recommend anyone use them. For the price they charge in comparison to the service provided, RUN AWAY. You can go to a custom cabinet producer and save 30% while not having to deal with managing the job for them and all the associated headaches you have to deal with by using Lowe's, who has no business being in the kitchen remodel industry. To Lowe's credit, they did acknowledge the shortcomings and did compensate in fairness. However, lesson learned. In the future, if I want it done right I'll do it myself.

    In the past four years, I have walked out of the Cookeville location and drove straight to the Crossville location several times, due to outrageous behavior by staff. Today, like an idiot, I went again to the Cookeville location. I did that, as usual, because I was in Cookeville to shop at Sam's Club. Again, I walked out without anything. I had hundreds of dollars in products in my cart. I had 5 gallons of stain being mixed. All I needed was 60 feet of 6/2 nm wire. The first man told me to buy from the shelf; which is a packaged 120 foot roll: Not what I needed or wanted. I asked him again to cut from the roll that is hanging there for that purpose. He told me he did not have any. I shook my head and told my son we would just go to Crossville to get what we wanted.

    Later, after loading more stuff into my cart, I saw that that employee had left the area, so I asked another man (who was polite... wish he had helped me) to assist with the wire. He send a third man, who told me that I need a different size wire. In fact, he recommended the size wire that powers my entire self storage business for a tiny shed. When I said, "No thank you, I want 6/2," he shouts "HERE WE GO". Wow... I tried to stay calm and explained to him that I remodel homes and had asked for exactly what I wanted, but I lost my temper. I just walked away saying "I'm just a GD idiot"... while leaving a cart with hundreds of dollars in products, 5 gallons of stain being mixed, and greatly offended.

    I'm a customer who has spent about $60,000 at Lowe's in the last four years, and I walked out their door, again. I do not understand how that facility can consistently keep employees who can not do something as simple as cutting 60 feet of 6/2 nm wire. If anyone at Lowe's in Crossville, Tennessee is better in every way. The staff at Cookeville are terrible, while Crossville is not. I can't find products in Cookeville, but I can in Crossville. If I had concerns about making money from those stores, I would recognize that while Cookeville brings in more money from a larger community, that the leadership is **. I would fire the manager in Cookeville or swap him out for a manager who is able to manage better: Like the one in Crossville.

Called Lowe's to check on the status of my order 2 days ago and yesterday and requested someone call me back (at 8 a.m. both days, I was told no one was in that department yet). No one ever called.

The woman's reply: "Well, I haven't had a dishwasher for 10 years." I hung up and called the manager, Jessica and explained how I was treated. She hung up on me. I called AGAIN. Jessica said her phone died. Really? No apologies. She said the dishwasher is on back order. When will it come in? She couldn't tell me. I asked for my money back. I've probably spent close to $4000-$5000 on appliances, carpeting, etc. over the last ten years at Lowe's or more. Lowe's just permanently lost a customer.

The items I wanted to purchase will no longer be on sale by the time I receive the gift card, and if I go and purchase the items now, I will be stuck with the gift card and have nothing to do with it.

    Problems with customer service, products, etc. Where do I start. I placed a order online 2 weeks ago. Lowe's sent me a email and called me stating it was ready for pick up. I told them I would be there Friday 6/8/2014, when I arrived at the store I went to pick up where nobody was and rang the assistance button, someone finally arrived after 10 minutes. The lady that helped me was about to get off and had no interest in helping me, she told me she was going to the back to look for my order, which should've been up front considering I received multiple emails stating my order was ready. I then saw her walk out of the exit door in normal clothes and her purse, so at this point I searched for someone else to help me.

    Finally they bring out part of my order and I told them they were missing my double vanity, they acted as if they had no idea what I ordered. So then this gentlemen goes to look for my vanity, I sat and waited another 35 minutes before he brings out a vanity that is completely wrong and has a whole different name on it. At this point I was quite agitated but kept calm, he got an attitude and went back in the store. I waited 45 more minutes outside so I then proceeded to walk inside where the gentlemen that was suppose to be helping me was standing up front talking to one of his friends about what he had planned this weekend. Then I proceeded to find somebody else to look for my order, they found my vanity which was on the top shelf so then they had to go get a forklift to get it down which took a additional 15 minutes for that.

    After I get everything loaded I looked at my barn door which was loaded and there was a note on the side of the box that stated "NO DAMAGE TO DOOR". Right above that was a huge hole in the box so I looked inside and the door was crushed and I mean crushed, so again I waited for help with that. The purpose of doing online order is to be able to quickly pick up things and when they say they are ready they should be up front. The customer service was absolutely horrible.

    This trip took me 3 1/2 hours before I was done. Absolutely ridiculous. Oh and if it couldn't possibly get any worse I went home and the following day put my chandelier up. I brought I got the whole chandelier up and had it wired and then realized one of the globes was broke. So again I called the store and they told me basically that's too bad and I could bring back the whole thing, which is ridiculous considering I already have it wired by someone I had to pay to hook it up. I can't get over this business and its employees. I am very disappointed and will no longer use Lowe's for any of my needs.

    For a month I was given the runaround for a purchase that was made back in 2013 that included the purchase of an extended 5 year warranty for a refrigerator. When the repair guy come out it took him less than 5 minutes to find that a new motor was needed because the unit stopped getting cold and my food started spoiling. I was promised that the part for my unit would be available more than three different times/dates. On May 8, 2018 I was told 5 business days, then given the date of May 15. On May 18th I was told by Natisha that if the part didn't come in by May 21, then they would give me a brand new refrigerator. Called again on May 22 to check on the status of the part because no one would call me with an update. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Was transferred to a David from corporate office who told me that the part still wasn't available.

    I then told him what was going on and that I was promised a new refrigerator if the part didn't come in on May 21, 2018. David then told me that Natisha didn't do what she was supposed to do to make it necessary for him to grant that request. According to David, she never included what was discussed into her notes nor fill out the form that was needed. I suggested that since he was a supervisor that he go to the recorded conversation that Natisha and I had but he refused to even listen. So basically according to David since Natisha didn't do her job I would be further inconvenienced, and I would not get what was promised because he needed to give the repair company "Service Aide" time to repair the unit. Even though it was documented at least two times by this time that they were given chances to do so. So of course I made a complaint and gave an unsatisfactory survey rating that was well deserved.

    So now I'm being given even more of the runaround with even more rude and unprofessional behavior on top of the lies, broken promises and being put on hold for a hour at a time just because of it. I called back spoke to Jason from corporate who was nothing but rude and argumentative. He had the nerve to tell me not to call them that they would call me. He was so rude that I ended the call. I would find out later that Jason had blocked my number so that I couldn't call the corporate office. So I used another number. Spoke with Supervisor Anastacia who said that she would take my complaint about Natisha and David but said that Jason wasn't in her office. She also updated a new date that the part should be available which was May 25, and also promised that everything was properly noted and added that if it wasn't received by that day I would then get a new refrigerator. What Lowe's calls a buyback or buyout.

    She noted that the holiday would be that following Monday so that I wouldn't be able to get an appointment until after that day. I called that Friday and was told that the part was on the truck waiting to be delivered that day. So on Tuesday May 29th when I called, I was hung up on. I called again and asked to speak to another supervisor in corporate. Mellanie told me the part never came in and that she was told that the part needed another day. So I told her that I would be calling BBB and Consumer Affairs. She then said to me that she would do the buyout and gave me the name and number of the Manager Ashley who would then handle the buyout and then I would be able to get my new refrigerator.

    Just as I thought that this nightmare was over and I would have my new refrigerator I find out the next day May 31th when I called Ashley in the Rosedale, New York Lowe's store that Mellanie never sent over the email that included the info about my buyout. I call back and asked to speak to Mellanie and I'm given the runaround again and being told that they as supervisors don't have extensions or a direct number where they can be reached... (But they're all in the same store)... I guess they never use the overhead page huh?? So I speak to someone else and they say that the paperwork was sent to Ashley. I call Ashley back who still insists that she received paperwork for other buyouts but NOT mine's. At this point I suggest that she do a three way conversation with herself, Mellanie, and myself. Ashley then says that she can't do that only corporate can.

    So I call Corporate back and still Mellanie doesn't answer my call. I'm given the same lame story about how they as supervisors don't have a direct line and how she (Tiffany) is a supervisor also who can help me. So we do a three way call but only Ashley and Tiffany are privy to the conversation. I think that it's safe to say that they are getting their lies straight to continue their charades. Finally they include me into the conversation but still try to continue their same stories but now Ashley finally receives the paperwork just a hour before our three way conversation... And Tiffany stands by the paperwork was sent the same day that Mellanie put in for the buyout which was on May 30th.

    After all of the back and forth, I choose the refrigerator but can't receive it the next day because Ashley says the delivery truck had broke down. She gives me June 1st. June 1 comes still no new refrigerator. I call them back and then they tell me that they would need to reschedule for June 3rd because the truck broke down. After asking to speak to a Supervisor again. Nina calls me back later on that day and tells me that she needs to reschedule my already rescheduled appointment for a later date.

    At this point I flip out and tell her that what she and all the others are doing is called retaliation. Every one of my complaints were accurate and the poor ratings that they received were well deserved, and that they will be on Help me Howard, because I'm calling the news media. My family and I have been inconvenienced too long with all their methods of retaliation, the hanging up on me, extra long hold time, the rude and unprofessional behavior, the lies, withholding my new refrigerator, paperwork, etc. etc.

    Updated on 06/22/2018: Now a Jackie from Executive Customer relations calls me to have a conversation with me about my delivery. I asked if she had read the report/ complaint. She said that she did not. I told her that the nondelivery was one of the many, many issues of my complaint, and that she needed to read my complaint and do her work/investigation before her and I could have a real conversation. I mean really how can anything be properly addressed if you don't even read, the complaint. :(

    DON'T HIRE THESE PEOPLE TO INSTALL ANYTHING! The lack of communication and disorganization is completely unacceptable. I purchased a Hunter fan from Lowe’s because the price, including installation, was reasonable. I rarely got the same person on the phone with each call, as the previous one was out to lunch, not working that day, or talking to another customer. So I had to start all over with a new person and explain the whole situation again. Left messages, which were mostly not returned. Dealt with 6 different people altogether over a 2 week period. After the fan was delivered, I waited 3 days for an onsite installation assessment by a guy who, according to Lowe’s, was "missing in action." So they found another assessor to come. Fine.

    Meanwhile, it took Lowe's 2 weeks to send me the insurance certificate needed by my building for installation. That's because they thought it was the installers responsibility to send it. Wrong. Then the missing-in-action installer called wanting to know when he could make the assessment that had already been made. The last straw? When the installation guys finally came and unpacked the fan from the box, it was missing a part. In all fairness, once the installers finally got here, they were great. That's because they were not Lowe's employees. But Lowe's? Poor management, poor organization, poor service.

    Lowe's uses DSI Logistics to deliver and install appliances in Nevada. When these village idiots installed my washer and dryer they tore two (2) holes in my brand new flooring in my brand new home and then left without even apologizing or explaining how I could file a damage claim to get it repaired/replaced. Lowes won't resolve it and have told me that DSI is responsible. DSI took a damage claim over the phone and asked for pictures, which I sent to them via email over a month ago and now they won't return my phone calls. So now both companies can explain themselves to the Better Business Bureau because I just filed complaints against both of them.

    I was approved for a Lowe's Credit Card. I have excellent credit and since I just purchased a new home, I wanted to use it for a new stove and wash/dryer. My card came in the mail - it was activated and when I went to the store it was declined. The store called the Lowe's credit card company and got my purchases approved and a deliver date. 1 day before they were to deliver Lowe's called and said they changed the deliver date due to my card being declined. I was on hold for 10 minutes waiting to speak with someone to straighten this out. Once I got a Lowe's Customer Service on the phone they told me my delivery date had been change to 1 week out and that I would have to speak with their card company to get the delivery approved. I CANCELLED MY ORDER. I will not deal with idiots and it was a waste of my time to try and deal with them. I will always shop at HOME DEPOT as they appreciate my business.

    I was a Lowe's Synchrony credit card holder for several years. I always paid early and more than my minimum often paying 20-25% over. Today I found that my account was closed without notice or reason. I contacted their company chat line to find out what was happening and was notified they had closed the account, but that I could reapply once my account was paid in full. Apparently my recent injury and reduction in income over a year prior had influenced their determination that I was a credit risk!!! I won't be doing business with Synchrony in the future!

    As an owner of 45 apartment units I have relied primarily on Home Depot for supplies and appliances. I thought I might try Lowe's to expand my sources. BIG MISTAKE. I live in San Francisco and own a second home in Carmel Valley. I ordered a refrigerator and range from the Salinas store. I made the mistake of not googling complaints about Lowe's delivery service. On Monday I was told the delivery would be between 3:30 and 5:30. I drove 3 1/2 hr. from San Francisco. At 5:30 when the truck didn't arrive, I contacted the store and was informed that the delivery company cancelled the order because their truck was too big for the roads.

    When I asked why they didn't call I was told they did but there was no answer. Impossible since I was waiting all day at the house. Delivery was scheduled for Tuesday from between 1:30 and 3:30. In late morning I was told that the delivery had to be changed to between 4:30 and 6:30 and it would arrive on a smaller truck. When 6:30 passed I spoke to the Salina's manager and was told the appliances went back to the store since the truck couldn't fit on the road. Nonsense. 20ft+ trucks routinely deliver in my complex. I would have liked to use Lowe's for supplies and appliances, but the treatment I received is deplorable. I cancelled my order and will have Home Depot deliver it. Since I was counting on the delivery of the refrigerator since my old one died, I now have to throw out hundreds of dollars of spoiled food since it has remained unrefrigerated for two days.

    My wife went to Lowe's and picked out carpet and tile and be installed in our home. Since our house was built prior to 1978 she honestly told them the age of the house and was charged an additional $ 55.00 fee so that they could inspect for asbestos - even though she explained the house had been remodeled several times since the original build.

    Lowe's sent one of their contract companies out and did a half-baked measurement without any checking for asbestos. They then came back and said they could not do the installation because of the age of the house. Now this is a nice house with modern features, newly remodeled an everything - but they said because of the original build date they could not install unless we paid someone - another party - to test for asbestos. When we asked them what the fee we paid was for they lied and tried to say that someone had pulled a piece of paint off the wall and tested it. No documentation was provided. This was a horrible experience and we will never attempt to use them again.

    I made the huge mistake to make a quick trip into Lowe's (St. Augustine, Florida) on Friday. I went in to quickly pick up one item and a few bags of mulch. Upon paying, I made sure the only thing I needed to do was drive through their fenced in area out front. I was assured it would be that simple. Upon driving to the closed off mulch entrance, I drove around the the exit and backed into the fenced area.

    My family and I sat in the car for over 10 minutes. When we finally got out to load our own mulch, an EXTREMELY RUDE Gena approached our car to inform me I was supposed to have the front call to her to let her know I needed help loading. When I explained I had done that already, she said no one called her so next time I needed to make sure someone called her. When she demanded my receipt, I told her, "I put it in my pocket, since I was preparing to load my own mulch." She became even more upset stating this was my fault. When I reminded her that I did my job by shopping here, it was not my job to make sure someone called her. It was her job to now load my mulch and not give me a hard time. She proceeded to throw her hands up and state "I am walking away from you. I don't have to take this." Nice customer service LOWE'S. Your rude staff is making your customers do all your employees' jobs.

    I did tell the female upfront. I certainly did not expect to have to take a bunch of attitude from someone whom never did load my car. I went inside to speak to a manager. The manager was in a meeting. Another assistant manager, Marsha, was on a register and could not be relieved. When I finally got to Christy, another assistant manager, I had been in the store another 10 minutes.

    As we were speaking, Christy allowed Gena to come up and interrupt our conversation. When I objected to this extremely rude behavior again from Gena, Christy listened with disdain to my rant. I asked for the Manager, James **, to contact me WHICH HE HAS NEVER DONE after 3 days. So I guess the horrible customer service starts at the top and goes all the way down. Terrible, horrible, nonexistent customer service. SHAME ON YOU LOWE'S. FYI I have a meeting tonight with my contractor to have my kitchen and bathrooms replaced.

    I used Lowe's delivery service for the first time, thinking it would be a nice idea. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is a total disgrace and Lowe's cares absolutely nothing about customer inconvenience due to their incompetence. They randomly changed my delivery time, didn't tell me, didn't call me 30 minutes before, then just showed up, made the delivery, omitted one item, didn't take my old grill and then the phone calls began. I have made no less than 4 calls all 30-60 minutes each to try to get this resolved, always talking to a different person and always having to explain the entire situation over again. Allegedly, my item is coming tomorrow, I will believe it when I see it. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL with no regard for the customer at all.

It's now June 2, 2018 and it still is not completed. All I wanted was the THREE items to installed correctly. I really wonder if I will live long enough to enjoy my updated kitchen. If someone does not help me I'm calling a local TV station and/or hiring an Attorney. I really and truly think I'm being put off because Lowe's employees think I'm old and they can get by with not completing. Now contractors are placing the blame for not installing the back splash correctly saying it is Majestic Stone Import's fault because they did not remove the Old small trim.

    Be VERY careful people! I was pushed into getting a Lowe's credit card by the salesman when I ordered a new roof for my house through Lowe's. I was led to believe it would be interest free for 24 months and if I paid in full before that it would be like borrowing free money. I assumed it was like any other credit card promotion where they give you a promotional period interest free and then start charging you interest on the balance AFTER that period ends. NOT WITH LOWE'S!!!

    I just got hit with an interest payment of $4,400!!! This is all BACK interest for the entire promotional period because I didn't pay the balance off in full before the promotion ended. So... to recap... I was sold on putting my roof charges on a new Lowe's Card to get interest free for 2 yrs and ended up getting charged for those 2 yrs in a balloon payment at the end of the 2 yrs. Customer service gave me an additional 30 days to pay off the $6,000 balance in order to avoid getting hit with the $4,400 interest. **! Total scam and use of plays on words to con people. BEWARE!!!

Not once did a sales clerk approach us to even attempt to help us make this purchase. When we tracked down the clerk about a purchase of a refrigerator, we were told it would take two weeks for delivery. We were told that since Hurricane Harvey deliveries were running two weeks out. This was not an acceptable time period on advertised sale merchandise. We took our business and bought elsewhere with a day delivery. This has happened in the past and we purchased $3300.00 worth of appliances elsewhere because of delivery dates. My opinion; hire another truck short term to meet demand.

Then the installer was a day later than promised (To dig the holes). Then, when he was to come back and finish the job, he was a no show and no call. His excuse was, “I was running behind dude”. I arranged a vacation day so I could be there when finished.

    Finally the fence was complete… But the gates were too tight and very hard to open and close. (I had to adjust them). Lastly, three skids were left in my yard. Along with 12 bags of cement and a 20’ pole. Nothing was communicated to me, why, or when they would be removed. I had to call the store to arrange the pickup. A date was set… But they were a no show and no call. One week later, nothing has been done! I’ve used Lowe’s for years. Very disappointed!

    It is just sad that such a good company changed to be the worse to go for your home improvement needs. I remember when many years ago people at Lowe's always smile and were willing to help. Now, these workers look like they are forced to work there. I have waited 1 full week for delivery of merchandise and if you can get in touch to ask for the status, I get different excuses, such as this just got dumped on me, or I just got this order for delivery, and this is after I got the message from their third party delivery person that my order will be deliver the next day. The next day come, and from a 1500.00 order, I get 4 items worth 88.00 dollars. The driver said, contact Lowe's, that's what I got. After contacting Lowe's, a Promise from Todd in Hazleton Lowes, that the order will be deliver the next morning.

    No confirmation for the next day, and when I called, a different employee tells me that it will come in the afternoon, and that they are sorry. The afternoon comes and nothing. I called back, and the new excuse is that their truck didn't show and that now they can do it Saturday. The guy tells me, take it or you can cancel the order. INCREDIBLE, NO CONCERNS FOR CONSUMERS, I have my guys waiting for the insulation so whatever I saved by using Lowe's, I have to use to pay for workers that were sitting waiting at my house for the products plus the time wasted talking with people that are working but do not care about their job or the company they work for.

    I am sitting at my computer in tears at this point in my journey. I have been a valued Lowe's customer since I bought my first home as a single mom 11 years ago. I went to Lowe's in April 2018 to look at flooring. I found some laminate hardwood flooring by Perigo that I loved. So, I started the estimate process. I paid the estimate of 4100.00 and started the process. As a single mom this was one project I could not do on my own as I had zero knowledge of cutting flooring. They scheduled the work for April 23, 2018 even though one piece was on back order. (It's now June 1, 2018 and I still do not have the one piece) I paid for them to move all of my furniture, remove old and install new.

    The contractor they hired showed up and the first words out of their mouths were "we do not move this, this and this basically we move the couches and entertainment center" I should have just told them to leave and found my own contractor but I thought no Lowe's will take care of me. They left the first day basically saying two cabinets had to be emptied and moved by me before they showed up in the morning. They placed moved my dining room table and placed it in the hallway blocking all bedrooms from any escape other than windows if a fire.

    When I looked at the table the base was completely to the right instead of the center of the table like it was before they moved it. They left nails and staples in my garage. The final straw was when the Contractor told me they were missing a tool and wanted to look for it. I told him no and that I had just put everything back and found no tool. He pushed passed me anyway and went into rooms they did zero work in. This left me very insecure in my own home as it appeared like he was scoping the place out for a return visit.

    I contacted my contact at Lowe's and was basically lied to as he told me that this was all wrong and Lowe's would definitely take care of my table and compensate me for my troubles within 24 to 48 hours. We are no 40 days later and still no resolution. It took them over 20 days to even get someone to respond to my complaint. Then they offered 200.00 for my table and nothing for my troubles. 200.00 does not even buy a coffee table and chairs let alone replace what they damaged.

    I proceeded to contact the President of the company because they refused to give me contact information for the next Tier of Management. He had someone from Executive Customer Affairs contact me. She just left a voice message and offered 100.00. Who does this company think they are?? They obviously do not value their customers at all for starters. They obviously think they can railroad single moms and take advantage of us thinking we are pushovers who will not fight back. I am at a loss as to what step to take next. They obviously do not realize a) it's about more than the 1000.00 table you damaged, b) they need to re-evaluate their customer service initiative as it's a joke. I am not sure what my next step will be with this issue but I can tell you I will be destroying my Lowe's card and sending it back to them.

    DO NOT SHOP AT LOWE'S OR AGREE TO ANY INSTALLATION BY THEIR CONTRACTORS. They do not value you as a customer! (kicker in all of this is they probably have Liability Insurance on their contractors and it would not cost them anything to settle this properly and keep a customer) They obviously do not value customers because they are big enough and another customers are right around the corner. However, what happens when this continues to happen and customers continue to leave... I know you close!

On top of all that, I got a fence install date for the end of July, they switched companies on me for the fence installation, and to top it all off now 60 DAYS PRIOR to the fence being installed I am being charged for the full fence install. I don't have a fence, I don't have it done for my husband's birthday, it's going to be late, and yet they are charging me that. When I called this morning they said that they always charge me prior to the fence being installed and that's what the contract reads. Kenny never explained that to me! "Sign here..." says Lowe's...

    I cannot make this horrendous story up. We just wanted new counters, sink and faucet from Lowe's. First mistake, don’t go to Lowe's. Their own contractors will do it for a 1/3 less of the price. Lowe's told us this. They have to make money somehow. So they hired someone to measure (as we got custom counters like they advised). Then they switched us to another installer. Then we have the fabricator also for the counters and sinks.

    To try and make this long story short, the measurements were wrong for the backsplash. We couldn’t balance a glass on the counters where there is a seam as it was pushed together so tight and lifts up. The sink is pushing up the counter (as we had it specially fabricated). Thanks Walsh Tops for that. Just wanted it fixed. When there are issues as big as these, Lowe's goes through CPO (customer production operation) and they override even the assistant managers/managers of the stores. The assistant manager was great and wanted to work with us. CPO, Nikia (a 2 month employee and her ‘team’) basically dropped the whole project and said, here is some of your money back.

    Executives do NOT care. They put you right back with CPO as they don’t want to hear it. Counters are messed up, bare wall showing where there is no backsplash and the piping was never complete under the sink, a lot of splicing. Installer said he would come back and fix it correctly when new counters came in before Walsh dropped the project. Project started March 31 and here almost June and left a mess and a lot of stress. Notice the tons of complaints. It is true. Stay away! Do your homework. We had a $500.00 reward card from work and that is what led us there. Hope they are the next Toys "R" Us.

When I called up to ask them what was going on I was told that "Ship To" is generic text and that they don't actually ship anything at all. If the product is available at that store they will take it to the customer service counter for you and you can pick it up. So "Ship To" is misleading the customer.

    I also asked them why they had changed the pickup store and they said that they had none in stock. I pointed out that the "check inventory at local store" option on their website was showing 14 in stock. Their answer was that that cannot be relied on! What use is an online inventory checker if it cannot be trusted and what use is an option for delivery to your local store if no delivery actually takes place! Customer Service on the phone was also more concerned about explaining their internal processes to me than actually listening to my very valid complaints. They refused to ship two of these items from another store to my local store saying, "No, we don't do that".

    The journey started with Lowe's about January. We went in the store looking to purchase cabinets. We were told that Custom Cabinets would take several months, so we decided to just go with the in-stock cabinets since they would take about two weeks. It took about a month before the measurement guy could come out after we paid him. Then trying to get the cabinet set up we had to switch to another representative because the one that was in the store didn't know what he was doing. We visited the store several times and trying to get everything squared away so about 2 months later we finally was able to get things kind of setup. At this point we contacted corporate office of Lowe's.

    We went through so much in 3-months that corporate made the manager give us a discount, however when we came in we didn't have the cost of installation established, so yet again another week went by before this could get done. Finally got everything going but then the cabinets had several delays and delivery with JB Hunt which caused us to be off several different times. Finally when the cabinets were delivered we open the packages and out of 12 cabinets out of 10 were damaged. We contacted the corporate person in charge and informed them and sent pictures showing the damages and at this point in time the lady Cindy considered herself getting personally involved and upset with us in the whole process of trying to get things resolved (imagine that. We are the customers) that their solution was to just cancel the project.

    Now this time I'll kitchen is totally demolished and to cancel the project I told them was not an option so I had to escalate to higher authorities in Lowe's management which we are now on the third tier of trying to get this resolved through Lowe's management. Let's hope that Lowe's live up to their obligation and get our project done because as of right now with kids in our house we have no kitchen no cabinets no sink no nothing it just bare and we have been eating out everyday incurring more expenses than we anticipated. Remind you that this process supposed to had only took two weeks and we are now on the 5th month.

    I'm very disappointed with Lowe's with this whole process and it's just not right for this to have taken place this way and to spend all these expenditures and still not have cabinets installed and for Lowe's to decide that they are going to cancel the project as a solution is unacceptable. So let's hope that the corporate office and resolve this issue and get our cabinets installed within next week. Corporate office told me they opened the file back up and have escalated above the department that canceled the project and left us in the awkward position. I will keep you all informed.

    Very disappointed in Lowe’s, use to be my favorite store, but not anymore. Tried to buy some carpet there, paid $35 for them to measure house. I have 450 square feet of flooring and I have bought carpet before and paid for 470 feet. Lowe’s wanted to charge for 530 feet. When I complained manager blamed installer and said they couldn’t do anything about it. I cancelled the order and got another company, which charged me for 470 square feet. I wonder how many more people get overcharged?

    I have purchased 3 refrigerators in 6 years. My home and kitchen is small. I'm retired so must purchase smaller fridge. The one in the home I purchased died 1st year and have purchased 2 more that died in 2 years but purchased warranty on this 3rd one so they are replacing with a 4th one. So technically I'm on my 4th fridge in 6 years. I've tried several brands and yes bought another warranty. This time I bought Whirlpool. These fridges range from 750 to 529 on sales. I'm told by Lowe's it's because parts are mostly made in Mexico and some are built there. Whirlpool supposedly is assembled here so quality control may be a little better however... the issue is a major appliance should last 10 years and that's just not happening.

    We are being ripped off when buying these poor appliances then the warranty. I can tell you that it's been a big challenge dealing with service... This last refrigerator need a compressor fan motor and when service guy changed it out he put it in wrong and broke the fan. So my groceries went bad. Yes warranty will replace but you have a lot of work to get that back and takes about 2 weeks then it's been 3 weeks dealing with a poorly working fridge to not working at all. Warranty sent Lowe's the cost of fridge but they would not give me the flexibility with the 100 savings of fridge on sale so I had to request warranty to send the reimbursement in gift card style so I can apply it fully and buy another warranty. Another 2 weeks to wait so I bought a fridge outright on my own.

    Added the warranty because the store mgr advised he would back the charge out and I can apply the gift card and it will clear out. I was at Lowe's most of the day trying to work this warranty issue. I'm senior and with disability so I was so worn out. I got home and called the number to check delivery and was told contrary to the in store info that the fridge was not in stock and would be a week if not more before it would be delivered instead of the following day. So although I'm exhausted I went. Got ice put in 3 small ice chests... Later that evening I got a recorded call that the fridge would be delivered the following day.

    Now I'm waiting to see what is true and what isn't but folks this is some of the worst service at Lowe's I've ever received. It's been going downhill over the years but I'm afraid other than this purchase on warranty I had to make I will not be going to Lowe's anymore. This is difficult because I've had a 35 year relationship with Lowe's being a single mom and homeowner. I would go to a lady at Lowe's and she would teach me how to repair my home on my slim budget. Always putting me first... and so I was very loyal. I just can't deal with Lowe's store now... but I must say warranty was wonderful to me. Always kind and patient and they were even with dealing with the store and trying to get them to make it easier. I regret this poor review but maybe it will help.

    I bought a garage door with installation from Lowe's. The door had a manufacturer three week delivery. The garage was of new construction and the opening was specifically made for the door being bought. Nonetheless, the Lowe's employee insisted that the contractor come out and look at it before being released to the manufacturer. They said the installer would call in two days. A week went by, I went back to Lowe's and pleaded with the salesman to release the order. He refused and said the installer would call. Two weeks after placing the order the installer shows up. Looks at the garage and ask what kind of door I wanted? I told them the door had already been purchased at Lowe's. His response was, "Why am I here?" I asked him to please call Lowe's and release the order. I go back to Lowe's the next day (Saturday) and ask, "Is the door released." Was told he would call Monday and verify.

    I called Lowe's on Tuesday and asked. The answer, "I will call to see." He did not bother to call Monday. He called, not released!! It was release approximately three weeks after I ordered the door! So I am still stuck with this 8x12 foot hole in this new finished garage. Well the door comes in three weeks later from the day released. I call the installer who informs me that there are a lot of customers in front of me and it will be two more weeks. I call Lowe's customer care (don't care is more like it) who promises to call the installer to expedite and follow up the next day. Of course, there was no follow up call. Called Lowe's customer care again, they have no record and said they would open another ticket. Big rain and storm coming and still no garage door. My recommendation is DO NOT BUY INSTALLATION FROM LOWE'S!!!

    Visiting Lowe's in Pine Bluff on 05/16/2018 8:50 AM in the Garden Center. Asked the young lady sitting on a stool while watering if she could help with some mulch, she said I would have to go inside to the cashier so I did. On the way I asked a lady working in the same dept. She said I needed to go outside to tell them. Went back outside, she said, "No go inside."

    Finally get to cashier, paid for 25 bags of mulch. Cashier said for me to go to Garden Center to give them my receipt, so I did. Same lady at Garden Center said drive around back of the store they would load me up. You guessed it no-one around back, so drive back to front lady watering said "we really not open." But If I walk around back I might find someone to load it for me... Lol. Almost like a comedy skit but really happened. I located a couple pallets on the side of the building with a blueish wrap around it so I just cut the wrap and helped myself. I've been in retail Mgt. for over 30 years with Kroger. These two in Garden Center this Morning watering were the two worst I've seen in a long time. Very uncaring, unprofessional people.

    I was shopping Lowe's Madison around midday and was surprised to find many of the aisles too narrow to safely navigate. Many of the displays were so close together you couldn't get a shopping cart by them. I was wanting to get 3 pieces of Armstrong ceiling tile. When I got in that area I found it a complete mess. There were several opened boxes of tile. Many were damaged and badly broken. I worked my way through the mess and located 3 half decent tiles so inquired to get the price. I was told I had to purchase a lot of 10 and they couldn't be sold individually. What a surprise.

    I asked to speak with the manager. Reluctantly the zombie help ask the lady stand only a few feet away if she would have a word with me. So I explained the and she explained "it's like buying a dozen eggs" you only get a dozen. Bright lady stupid policy. There was a time when you could buy eggs one at a time and in my lifetime I remember getting a half dozen eggs. In my experience Lowe's relies more and more on their ** policy. That is the help on the floor shouldn't ask if they can help you in any way. Also many of the cashiers rely completely on the automation. Apparently they are not allowed to do any thinking on their own! Sad. Nice store wrong attitude!

    I'm writing the review to warn others to never use Lowe's on remodeling jobs of any sort. The nightmare began when we first signed our contract with them on January 3, 2018. We went through the inside sales department. The job began with the saleswoman walking us down many aisles saying "that would look nice"...And taking notes as we walked. The job was supposed to be a simple remodel. We looked at the Lowe's website and chose some of the fixtures... New faucets, new lights, new vanity top and tile for the shower remodel.

    She kept pushing Onyx products on us. (The most expensive pieces, of course). We described the shower door we wanted but unfortunately it wasn't on the showroom floor. So once again, we mention privacy door and she wrote notes for an Onyx privacy door and shower pan. The vanity top was also an Onyx product. What they failed to mention was that Onyx products are special order items that can take a month or more to get in the Lowe's warehouse.

    We then find out that the stories about their contractors having thorough background checks was a lie. The first contractor was sent in for the pre-construction meeting at our home. They looked over things, made tick marks in a fancy notebook... Flipping through the pages quickly and asked us to sign yet another contract with Lowe's contractor. We were only allowed to call the project manager, who was never available. The vanity came in the wrong color so that was the first stop to the remodel job and it took another several weeks of waiting.

    Finally the new colored vanity came in and it was back to work for the crew. The crew was divided into sub-contractors of the Lowe's appointed contracting firm. The first crew changed the start date to the second week in April 2018. Yeah, this was the fourth month of waiting. The second crew, the tile guys didn't speak any English. They were two illegal immigrants working under the table. Well, we were told that they would only be here for two hours to finish the Kerdi sheetrock vapor seal. What really happened was they snooped around in a closed closet to find our safe and they stole over $2000 worth of gold jewelry. We had to make a police report and deal with the original contractor who denied the event ever happened.

    We told Lowe's that we wanted a new contractor. A week later, they sent a 23 year old with one year experience to finish tiling the shower. He tiled the shower alright. But none of the sides or the shower pan are level. Then he hung part of the shower door crooked into the tile and not into the studs making the door so crooking that it left a 1/4" gap down the side of the door. Then this young man told us that the other half of the door was too long and had to be re-ordered through Onyx. This meant another month wait. And now we're into May and the entire shower looks like a person watched YouTube lessons before doing the tile work.

    Today, May 10, 2018... We are still waiting for Lowe's store managers to return calls. We tried Lowe's Corporate only to be re-connected back to the local Lowe's general manager. And he's either at lunch or left for the day. Lowe's has been avoiding us for weeks now and after five month of waiting the shower is still not usable. The shower was supposed to be converted into an ADA handicap accessible shower. But the measurements don't match. We had another independent contractor come over to evaluate this shower and he just shook his head and pointed out all the flaws.

    His company could have saved us $4,000 had we chosen his company. The total price of this horrible remodel through Lowe's came to $12,400. And the only way to correct the errors made... Is to gut the whole shower and start from scratch with an independent professional contractor who warned us to avoid Lowe's. Like I mentioned in the beginning of this review this has been a never ending nightmare!!

    Two days after surgery I went to Lowe's in Waterloo, NY to buy a replacement dishwasher. After waiting for service I left. I was in extreme pain and couldn't wait any longer. That afternoon, I bought my dishwasher online and paid the haul away fee. I called the store for assistance the following Monday to add a hose because the chat option would not help. On the day of delivery, the service person informed me that it was my responsibility to remove my old dishwasher. They also informed me that I missed that online. My surgery was on my shoulder.

    There is no way I could remove the unit. No service in the store, no service with chat, no service with delivery. My fault because I missed the fine print after Lowe's ignored me at their location. Never again. I will never forget how I've been treated while recovering. The MyLowe's card has been removed from my wallet. I will buy from retailers that deserve my business. As an ending, I cancelled my purchase. Lowe's offered no remedy.

    We met with kitchen design center @ Lowe's. Chose our cabinets. (1) Kitchen designer for most part did a good job EXCEPT for area near 2 angled posts in our kitchen. Perhaps he failed to clarify the issues he faced in trying to accommodate those areas. In any event, his solution, was to create one angled unusable cabinet near left post; on the right post - he offered the solution of a false front cabinet. I couldn't understand why since we had useable cabinets before, I couldn't understand his limitations. If I had understood, we might have gone with custom cabinetry. (2) We purchased an entire kitchen suite of appliances in March. Two of the appliances have been delivered but the stove/range and dishwasher are on backorder because of supplier issues. It's now 2 months since date of purchase and we're still waiting on those appliances. We never get a phone call regarding the backorder, I've had to be the one to chase all of this.

    Initially we were told delivery April 11th (and 2 of our appliances were delivered), then April 28th, then May 12th, now we're told May 25th. If I had known that Lowe's could not deliver all 4 of these appliances I might have gone with another brand so I could have a complete kitchen suite of appliances same brand. Instead I'm now at a guessing game trying to figure out if Lowe's will deliver the remaining 2 appliances at all. (3) Countertop. Our contractor has completed the kitchen remodeling of our home, cabinets have been installed but we are still waiting for delivery of the countertops we ordered through Lowe's. We purchased them at the point in time recommended by the kitchen designer (3 weeks ago). We were initially told delivery of our countertop would be in 2 weeks. But then we were told last week that they did not even start on the countertop until April 30th and now they anticipate installation of our countertop on May 31st.

    The problem is that our contractor is done. They have completed their portion of our kitchen. I have an incomplete kitchen waiting on Lowe's to deliver the remaining items on a timetable that Lowe's doesn't even stand behind nor care. All I want is to use my kitchen. Currently I stand in it, look at the cabinets, see my floor and pray that the dishwasher, stove/range and countertops will actually come through.

Flooring transition strip to living room has large gap you can see stripes of glue, when floor was installed the installer had a 5 gal pail of tools that a drill motor with drill bit in it, it must have fell and poked a hole on new floor. And my garage is now full of broke and bad painted cabinets and cardboard. Call project manager and they don't answer phone so I called from different phone and got an answer, but no answers to my questions and never got back with me.

    We own several rentals and have used Lowe's for a long time to carpet the properties. They now have a new company that does their measuring. This person that came and measured came back with 972 sq. ft. Every other time they have been measured it is around 864 sq. ft! I spoke with Lowe's and they even checked their records and seen where there was a large discrepancy. They said that every person measures and lays out carpet differently but they still could not understand why so much difference. I have other family members that have used Lowe's for their flooring and building needs but since they refuse to do anything about the difference we will be shopping for another flooring company.

    This is the 4th bad experience with Lowe's. These are two of my most recent. I ordered through the store a patio set. They said it would take 4 days to assembled. I scheduled a delivery on Thursday. Changed my schedule to accommodate them. On Thursday I get a call that they put it on the wrong truck. I reschedule for Sunday. It comes in boxes not assembled. I asked the delivery service to take it back. They said it would take 2 weeks to get another one. I decided I would let it go and call Lowe's. They said that was not true and another one would be delivered Tuesday. They said the service doesn't get paid to return product. That is why they lied to me. Last summer I order a bathtub, arranged with my contractor to install. When they opened tub it was all scratched. Had to return it and have another delivered, putting my install off. They do not check their products before they deliver.

    I went into Lowe's and wanted to purchase some doors so they set up a appointment to have the doors measured. They called to set up the time and the guy sounded like I was a inconvenience to him with the 2 days that I had free. He showed up at the time we set up. He looked like he just rolled out of bed, he was unshaven, had a sweat shirt on that had Lowe's independent contractor label on it and he had on sweat pants and untied shoes. He comes in measures and doesn't say anything except they will be in contact with me. I called Lowe's and told him I don't want that company in my house. They said they will contact them and cancel them and set up a new contractor.

    The new one called and I told him the 2 days that I have free. He then said that, "Oh we like to have more than 2 days to schedule for appointment." I am sorry that my wife and I work a lot. He then said he will contact me in a couple days. 1 week went by no contact so I called Lowe's again and told them, "Forget it. I will go somewhere else and get my own contractor." They just, "Oh ok. Thank you," and hung up . DO NOT EVER EVER BUY FROM THERE. This is the second time I have had a issue with them. The first time I spent a couple thousand in the store and they were able to fix the issue after I called their corporate office. This time I was going to spend around 4-5 thousand and they act like it's no big deal.
