    I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for Lowe's. I purchased a dishwasher on sale a year ago which arrived as scheduled. I also purchased a water heater 3 years ago which was installed by my plumber. Now I purchased a new front load washer. I am pleased with my purchases and delivery personnel have delivered as promised with no issues. Perhaps it is my location in El Paso, TX west side and great people here. Everything purchased has been in great condition - no nicks or damage of any kind and I will continue to do business with Lowe's.

    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.

    4 weeks ago I ordered an electric range from Lowes.com. My delivery date was moved twice and when the appliance was finally due to be delivered, it arrived damaged. A week later, they tried to re-deliver the same damaged appliance a second time. Since then, in spite of two trips to the local store and three hours worth of phone calls to the store and to Lowes.com, they have failed to order a new range for me. So, I have been trying to cancel my order, but neither the store nor the website can figure out how to issue me a refund. Meanwhile, Lowes.com has charged my credit card three times tonight, each time for $20.00. Is it fraud? Or just more incompetence?!?! I will never buy from Lowes.com again!

    Our hot water heater went out completely on a Sunday. We picked a hot water heater from Lowe’s online site. We were told they would be out the next day (Monday) to install it. We had to pay $1200 in full when we scheduled it. Had to call them Monday when no one showed up. Told us they wouldn’t be out until the end of NEXT week. This was the first time we used Lowe’s for installation and will NEVER use them again. We canceled the order and found our own plumber who will be out in less than 24 hrs.

    Everything that could go wrong went wrong! Damaged merchandise, rude assistant manager, sub-par contractors, and frequent turnover of employees dealing with my bath remodel made this experience a nightmare! What should have been a 4 day job has taken OVER 3 MONTHS and is still not completed. Every part of the job had to be redone and I had to take pictures and micro supervise each step.

    We had our fence built in January and paid several thousand dollars for an outcome that looks like our next door neighbor did it! 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. Never again will we work with a contractor from Lowe's. This was not the first bad experience with Lowe's contractors, so we should have never given the company a second chance. Everyone keeps passing the ball and it is sickening!

    I ordered a custom made marble sink from Lowe's. I ordered it on May 15th 2018 at a cost of $528.87. I was told it would take 3 to 4 weeks to be made. 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.

    I would like to denounce the rudeness of a cashier and the misleading sale signs displayed that clearly indicate percentage discount in plant. Saturday at 5 pm, I was shopping at Lowe`s in Newmarket, Ontario when I noticed a sign hanging on the shelf above the lemons and oranges plants and I selected one to take home. Like had happened a couple of weeks before, with flowers, the register showed full price. I insisted because the sign clearly stated a sale for assorted citrus (is still there even today) yet the cashier insisted that it was not for lemon plants. I, assertively but not rude, tried to tell her about the sign, but rudely she covered her ears. Very arrogant behaviour and poor customer service; probably like the assistant assistant manager she does not know what citrus are.

    My husband and I decided to buy a washing machine yesterday, 6/30/2018. We went to the Lowe's in Plymouth Meeting. We could not locate someone to sell the machine to us. We were told an individual would be out to sell us the machine in 10 minutes. Total wait time; one half hour. The salesman was not busy; just apparently taking his dinner break. (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. Some of them said that they were beleaguered with so much work that they were missing meals and stressed out. I wonder what the CEO makes. I will never shop there again. Shame. They should change the store name to Lows.

    I do not understand why these women who work in the store are so very rude to their customers. Since the ones who answer the phones have no manner and not to mention how long they put me on hold then transfer me to the wrong department only to have a chance to hang up on me so I decided to drive down to the store although it's more than 10KM away from our house. I finally figured out why they are so rude. Because their manager (the tall ** guy wears glasses) is a very arrogant ** and a very rude person with no customer service skills, no kidding the people from customer service are rude just like him! Wonder how could a person like him can get the job as a store manager in the first place. I witnessed how rude these women from customer service are to everybody who went to their desk to ask for help, they are basically a rude team led by a rude manager.

    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. They even came and took the materials that were not used and I never got reimbursed for them! Save yourself a huge headache and a lot of money and go to Home Depot instead.

    We ordered carpet from Lowe's. They assigned us a date for measuring. We got a 2 hour window. After 2 hours with nobody showing up, we called. The carpet measuring and installation is done by people outside of Lowe's. They said they would be there in 20 minutes. Much later the guy arrived and was rude. He said not to complain to him, but to take it up with Lowe's, that it was their fault he didn't show up and was late. We called Lowe's and they expressed dissatisfaction with him and couldn't believe he said that.

    We thought maybe we should cancel the carpet installation, but they said a different company and person would do the installation. When the installation date arrived, we were given a 2 hour window. After 2 hours when they didn't show up, we called. They said the guy would be there in 20 minutes. After an hour with nobody showing up, we called Lowe's. They had no explanation. Lowe's and the installation and measurement people never apologized or offered explanation. When we threatened to cancel, the manager at Lowe's offered to compensate us a couple hundred dollars to keep the schedule. When nobody came, we cancelled our order. We will not do business with Lowe's flooring again.

    Purchased a Samsung dryer at 8AM yesterday at Lowe's. It was a scratched return. 6:30 last night was setting it up. Went to level it. Found that rear adjustable leg was missing. I called Lowe's. Talked to appliances. Guy said "We don't carry those in the store" and didn't say anything else. I said "Do you have any suggestions?" He transferred me to warranty department. Bored and curt woman at warranty got all my info and proceeded to tell me it wasn't covered under warranty. I said "I just bought it 10 hours ago!" She said "If you want the part, you have to order it and pay for it" Then transferred me to yet another department.

    As I waited for someone to answer the phone which I was transferred to (they never answered) I found a leg on Amazon for $15. 00 with postage. Lowe's won't get another dime of my money. They basically told me to pound sand. Won't happen again. Person at store should've ordered a leg for me. All employees at store and other departments are good at one thing.

    The Northeast #Lowes SUCKS! Spent $1016.00 LAST WEEK for a refrigerator that will not stop beeping... Took an hour and a half to find someone to help us buy the damn thing in the first place. I KNEW better!!!! The A&E Service tech Andrew found the problem after an hour of looking. The door hinges are bent and the socket in the door that the hinge sits in is bent also! Cannot be fixed without replacing the door and the hinge!

    Lowe's fix for the problem was very blunt and straightforward... "We will refund" and we can buy another one. When asked, "What about the $300 worth of food I just replaced and will go bad while I get another bought and moved into my home and cool it down!" "24 hrs by manufacture requirements" DEER in the headlights staring off into no place! DO NOT BUY APPLIANCES FROM LOWE'S, This is the 3rd JUNKER APPLIANCE bought from them!!!

    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. Please advise as to what I can do at this point.

    On a Monday my refrigerator had stopped working so Tuesday I purchased one in-store at Lowe's. I was shocked that deliver would not be for a whole week for delivery. Would be delivered next Tuesday, no specific time could be given but I was told to call that Friday to find out a general window of delivery time. Called Friday. 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.

    I want to thank Lowe's service call center and the employees in the Kokomo, Ind. store for helping me solve my refrigerator issue. A & E Service was not cooperating with getting my warranty repair done, so Lowe's did a buyback. I got a new refrigerator and cash back for the difference in cost from them. Very happy with the help from Lowe's. WOULD NOT recommend A & E Service to anyone!!! Thanks much Lowe's!!!

    I purchased a Kohler sink faucet approximately 6 months ago from the Elkin NC after we installed new granite countertops in our kitchen. The hose pertaining to the extension burst. I tried to return it back to the Elkin NC facility only to be told that they wouldn't refund my purchase without a receipt. This, after I just had went there 3 days prior and purchased a $240.00 new faucet to replace the defective one. SAD!!! To be treated this disrespectful after also purchasing 2 ceramic top ovens, a new dishwasher, a pressure washer, a push mower, a Samsung Front load washer and dryer set and thousands of $ of other miscellaneous items throughout the years. But no more. My business with Lowe's has concluded. From now on, my business will be with The Home Depot. Lowe's needs to take a page from them on how to treat a good consumer.

    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!!!

    We have literally had the WORST experience ordering appliances online with Lowe's Home Improvement (Conway, NH). I would never ever recommend them to anyone for purchasing appliances online! 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. This is absolutely ridiculous and the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    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.

    I paid cash for a Bosch dishwasher from Lowe's 2 weeks ago. Hadn't heard a word from Lowe's. 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. Today, I got a young woman on the phone and said: "I want to see where my dishwasher is. Do you know how hard it is to not have a dishwasher for 3 weeks?" 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. The supervisor I spoke to on the phone would not fix the issue at all, just kept repeating that it was standard procedure.

    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.

We were told to make an appointment and come back the next day. Seriously?

    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.

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 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 special ordered windows and siding for 988 sq ft home on March 28, 2018. The order arrived on April 22, earlier than expected. Lowe's call me and stated the contractor will call with a delivery date. Well my contract stated windows completion will be May 22nd. Siding date June 5th. Both items arrived today after sitting in Lowe’s store for a month. I call each time they gave me the runaround. I talked to Asst Managers. No luck. I called North Carolina Attorney General office. File a complaint against Lowe’s. They suppose to come tomorrow, but the contractor call today and said he has to come Thursday.

    I went to Lowe’s and they said someone will be there tomorrow. Either Lowe’s or contractor lied. I informed Lowe’s asst manager they will compensate me for waste time, phone calls, Gas. I informed Lowe’s they need to monitor their contractors. If they are not working out Fired them. Contact your Attorney General Office file a complaint. I will keep you informed.

    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 will make sure he does not purchase anything from Lowe's.

    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. I will NOT be using this terrible service any longer and will certainly look elsewhere when purchasing online. Please pass the word of this rotten experience so others will know!

    I used Lowe's because I'm 77 year old lady who did not want to deal with the stress of getting the job completed. I paid for a sink, granite and backsplash on January 9, 2018. 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. I DO NOT CARE WHOSE FAULT IT IS. I JUST WANT THE WORK DONE. I actually think Lowe's should return my money for six months of stress. Someone please help me!

    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!!!

    While shopping for a refrigerator on June 2, 2018, my daughter and I were in the store for at least 30 minutes, looking over the specifications needed for a purchase, this is not the first time for a large purchase to be lost. 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.

    I purchased a vinyl chain linked fence from the Lowe’s store listed in the subject. It took almost two months to get it installed. The Lowe’s store confirmed a delivery date, but they were a no show and no call. The following day, they showed up. But didn’t have all of the hardware needed for the job. 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!

    I requested Lowe's do a fence quote. The sales person, Kenny **, came out and we contracted to install a fence. He came out on 4-24 and the fence was contracted to commence between 5-24 and 6-24, weather permitting. I was told by Lowe's that they were too busy for me. The fence could not be installed until the end of July. My husband's birthday is July 4th and I wanted the fence in before then that's why I contracted them to come out in April so I would have plenty of time. I should have gone to a real fence company instead of Lowe's. I am so sorry for my mistake.

    When I asked the supervisor to cancel my fence, who is Casey **, she said the materials had been bought and I couldn't do that and I would be charged. 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... Watch out everyone. I will NEVER step foot in a Lowe's store again. I cannot wait to be done with them.

    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". There are too many home improvement stores around to put up with such bad customer service. I will not be using this store again.

    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.

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.

    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.

They said that every person measures and lays out carpet differently but they still could not understand why so much difference.

    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.

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.

Unfortunately they started fading after the second year. I recently called the customer service line 1-866-439-9800 for Allen + Roth because of the stated five warranty. I was first told they were covered under warranty. Then after being on hold for a short time, I was told the furniture is not covered, as the warranty states "Frames are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for five (5) years". I believe this warranty is misleading and the paint which is a material on the aluminum should be covered. I now have 6 pieces of outdoor furniture that has turned from a beautiful brown to milky white.

I have never had that luck with a delivery with Lowe's. So I called to let them know I had to take my dog to the vet at 9 am, that if they could possibly push me to the end of that delivery window that would be great, if not they could leave it in the driveway.

No big deal. 1:30 pm comes around and I have not heard from the driver or seen him, so I call to find out what's going on, to be told that well. there's a note that we could just leave it in the driveway, so they probably are running behind and saved you for last.

    I tried to explain to the lady that, that applied to when my delivery time was between 9 am and 11 am, and in case I missed them, I have been waiting for this delivery, but it was not processing with her. She tells me she is going to call the driver. Here it is now 2:30 pm and no driver or a callback. to let me know what is going on.

    I first contacted Lowe's warranty service for faulty dishwasher that had stopped working about 2 months prior, in January 2018, almost 5 months ago. For some reason, not much water flow into dishwasher and soap never dissolved. My husband and I both work full time jobs, so figuring out a time when someone could sit at home for hours waiting for repair services was difficult.

    The company, A1 Appliance company, apparently a local company contracted with Lowe's, told us in January (after contacted by Lowe's Warranty) the first time that they would be there at agreed-on date between 8am to 12 pm (about 2 weeks later). That Friday in January, one of my few days off work, I was at home as agreed. As I neared the end 8am-12pm time period waiting for repair, I hadn't gotten phone call or message from repairman saying when or if they would show (even cable company does better than that).

    Called Lowes' A-1 Repair, just got machine, and I left message I was still waiting. Near noon, repairman called needing directions to our house which I gave (apparently for some reason he had our neighboring STATE in his address)- gave it to him. He came by, nice guy, looked at dishwasher, said he had to order parts, and would get back to us. Couple WEEKS later came by and he came back and 'fixed' something and left. Didn't apparently check anything. Went to run dishwasher that night... Nope.

    Called again. arranged yet another Friday morning for him to come back. My husband was home from his job waiting, and after waiting for about 2 hours the repair company called him to tell him repairman was fired that day and they would have someone new. Ok... Couple weeks later new repairman comes, says he knew exactly what the problem was with this dishwasher was as he'd fixed this model umpteen times before, and needed to order a new part. Took him TWO weeks to get back to our house to install the new part. He installed the new part, did not even CHECK to see if dishwasher worked, and left. I went to run tiny load of dishes that night and no water in dishwasher.

    Called Customer Service to complain -- please, we work and don't have hours and days to donate for repair people, please could we just replace dishwasher? Rep very polite but said they followed Lemon Law 'very closely' as is 'standard in the industry' and unless I have FOUR different repair failures on my record this does not qualify. OK, I get maybe doesn't fit into pinhole of Lemon Law but seriously?? So she scheduled ANOTHER visit with another company. About an hour later (2 days ago), I get an email saying please disregard that repair time, Lowe's needs my model and serial number to process... LIKE WHO WAS FIXING MY DISHWASHER FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS??

    If they are following the 'industry standard' of the Lemon Law, then what is the point of the extra coverage??? And I have a full-time medical practice--taking off a half-day to sit around waiting for a repairman that may or may not show up is costly and incredibly aggravating. Thank God my kids are grown and my husband and I don't cook that much, because waiting over FOUR months to get a dishwasher is ridiculous. We got a more expensive (not lavishly-expensive, just not cheap) dishwasher most recently (2 years ago)d because we figured would be worth the investment. Bitterly disappointed in Lowe's. Don't care about the Lemon Law, just figured they would go the extra mile. Bought lots of appliances from Lowe's over the years, just sad they're going downhill with their contracted help and won't stand behind their appliances.

    I use a dishwasher twice daily and mine died, so getting a new one quickly was important. Lowe's had a Bosch dishwasher on sale, I checked that it was in stock, and then called as directed by the website to order since I needed installation and removal of my old dishwasher. The phone call took 40 minutes just to order the dishwasher and be told that the installer would pick up and call within 24 hours of my ordering. Part of the 40 minutes was the salesperson calling two stores to make sure that the dishwasher was in stock and ready to be picked up. 24 hours later, I called and asked why the installer hadn't called.

    I was assured that he would be picking up the new dishwasher that afternoon and not to worry. 48 hours later, I called again, only to be told that "the store didn't have it in stock so it won't be in until mid next week." What was that salesperson doing for 40 minutes if not checking with the store? It's not like the installation is cheap, either. I don't appreciate being lied to by three different people.

Customer service is no help and give the "Canned Response". The customer supervisor said he is, and I quote, "the highest person at the corporate office".

    I asked if he was the President of Lowe's and he responded again, and I quote, "the highest person at the corporate office". Seriously? He refused to transfer me to the accounting office to inquire about a transaction credit from the batch transmittal the store would have made. Yes, they send me "Lowe's" order forms with the credit, but absolutely NO proof it was transmitted to their credit card clearing house or to my credit card company. (FYI, this is not a debit card, it's a credit card). This is absolutely ridiculous and they're playing with my money.

    Range delivery time 2-4. At 1:45 they called me, stating they got lost. They were making one stop in area where they were and would be at my location within hour. I was waiting at a vacant apartment! At 3: 15, they still were not there. Wouldn't answer their phone, never called and updated me. At 3:55 p.m., they showed up. By 4:15 had range delivered with dent in side. Never buying from Lowe's if I need to use their pathetic delivery service.

    My original score was one star. Lowe's installed my shower and it wasn’t right. I had to stay on them every week. It took 5 Mo this but Lace was so helpful. Now the new shower is in, was to be a three-day job, it has been 2 weeks already. Lace came by today and took pictures, she wasn’t happy with the installer's work. His head wasn’t in the job. For now I will keep it 3 stars. If they make it right I will go up. Lace has been very helpful, it does appear Lowe's isn’t helpful when she needs them or it would have been done over in November 2017. I have high hopes.

    I returned so merchandise. Sunday April 22, 2018. My refund was not returned to my debit card visa. Right away I called the Allen Park Michigan store to see why my refund was not returned to my card right away. I was told it may take 3 to 5 business days. I also spoke with a corporate customer service representative on Monday April 23, 2018 and was told the same thing if it was a credit card but my card was a debit visa. It's nothing Lowe's can do about the process since the refund was already put in the system. I'm scared to purchase anything else from Lowe's because if I have to return anything I won't get refunded right away because I use a debit visa card. I have to wait a week. I won't shop or recommend this store. Home Depot gives you a choice a cash refund or debit card refund.

    I found a ceiling fan I wanted at Lowe's but then found out the color I wanted wasn't available. I call the maker and found out they had 200 in stock. I called Lowe's Corporation to ask what the problem was on offering this color on their website or in the stores. I received ZERO help. They could not tell me ANYTHING. Clearly someone somewhere knows the answer to my question but Lowe's was unwilling to help solve my problem IN ANY WAY. Incredibly frustrating since it should be an easy matter of Lowe's ordering the fan from the manufacturer in the color I want.

    I purchased a air compressor online and paid extra money for next day shipping. I would have went in person but I wasn’t feeling well. I ordered on April 19, 2018 and it was suppose to be delivered on the 20th. Here it is the 23rd and they haven’t even shipped it yet. This was not the first time, however I’m done with Lowe's online shopping, they don’t have their act together. The reason I purchased an air compressor is because last week I purchased a John Deere ride on lawn mower and next day got 2 flats. I’ve been a damn good Lowe's customer and was treated not so good when I called customer support, thank you Lowe's. Suggest if you want something, go to store in person, better yet use Amazon they have everything Lowe's has and more, great for shipping.

    My wife and I are going through an entire kitchen remodel. As you can imagine everything scheduled with multiple contractors. We purchased over $20,000 in appliances from Lowe’s with the assumption that things would arrive in a timely manner. At this Lowe’s has not met a single delivery date and we’ve had to purchase items from other vendors to meet our deadline. To make things worse, I have had to follow up with them as they never get back to me. I have asked them multiple times to at least check in and give me any sort of status but that has not happened. I just called again today and was informed that the refrigerator, range and microwave are about 20 days out. We are already past our delivery date and we still have another 20 days. The contractors are beside themselves, and we're living on the microwave oven in the garage. Thanks Lowe’s. I will not do business with you again.

    I have been working on renovating my house in sections for about 2 years now. I am an old Rona employee and so I have an understanding of the hardware store service requirements. I have also been working in retail sales for 7 years and customer service my entire working life. I have never received as disgusting service as that which I have received on multiple occasions at Lowe's. While the typical level of service is non-existent, I can handle that. I like the fact their prices are low so I shop there despite the lack of help. Although, I have never actually purchased anything there as I can never find the products that are advertised online.

    However, on my most recent outing, I was prompted to write this review. My mom and I were going to several hardware stores in Ottawa to price out shingles for my roof which I plan to do this year. When we arrived at Lowes we circled the entire store and were not only not approached, but also could not find anything that resembled a roofing section. So we were forced to seek out help. We approached a middle aged man in the windows and doors section who looked like he might know a bit more about the product knowledge. He responded with, "You'll have to give me a minute" accompanied by a stern look and an out-stretched finger indicating we would have to wait. We took a few steps back and allowed him to finish his quote despite the fact that our question would have taken half a second to respond. He was clearly busy with another customer and could not multi-task.

    We gave him his space and about 15 minutes later he finished his quote, gave it to his customer and turned back to us, "What did you need?" we were asked bluntly. We attempted to explain that we were looking for a quote for shingles and were met with a look of utter disgust mixed with a stifled laugh and "This is windows and doors, what made you think I would be able to help you with that?" before the words were even out of our mouths. He then passively waved us to the front of the store. We said we would no longer need help and he yelled after us that we must go to the "pro desk" or wherever. By this point Lowe's had already lost the sale. We will continue to deal with Rona and Home Depot from here on out where we receive over-the-top service, we even had employees there load our vehicle and help us unprompted in such a professional and kind way.

We just wasted $500.00 on a bathroom vanity that was ordered incorrectly and didn't fit in the room but we didn't catch it till we had already cut the back out so we're stuck with that sitting in the garage. Apparently there's no help, no proper training, and everyone seems to be at lunch if you go to the counter person to ask for help.

    I purchased my french door back in September In Gurnee, IL. They were so helpful and nice, walked me to the register charged me $$$$ with a big smile on their face (Awesome customer service when they are taking your money). The door comes in, they installed the door, The door is short (almost 3 inches-of course when Lowe's send you a window installer to measure the door), hardware is missing, door is wobbly, hanging in the air, big gap between the doors, looks terrible. Reached out to my local store telling them I am not happy with the door, of course they want nothing to do with you and they said the door is fine, kept complaining until they sent the people from JELD to measure the doors and said that was the installer's fault.

    Long story short (I know it's too late now lol) Lowe's ordered a new door and they got in store in December, set up a time to install it, took time off from work and the installer cancels and never returned any text/call to reschedule. After 6 months of complaining and calling Lowe's every week (Store and Headquarter, they promised compensation) they finally hired a professional door installers from Chicago to install my door (in March). The door looked good, when they called me and asked for compensation, they said: "No compensation because your door was installed and you don't get anything." They don't even deserve a 1 star.

    Last April we purchased a new home and had to replace the carpet in the bedrooms. Albeit fairly new, the previous owners had 4 dogs, they hid very well, or buying this house was not going to happen. Asthma and allergies. So we had no choice, with changing the flooring! We went to HD, they did not have what we wanted, and delivery would be at least three weeks. We didn't have that time to wait. So against better judgement we went to Lowe's. After some great debate and advice from an employee, we went with the Acacia Blackwood. He assured us it had a great Janka rating. I pride myself on doing my research but this was in the store at that moment, we had the contractor coming in a few days. We had many issues with the order from day one. Within weeks of the install we started noticing light scratches, in areas with little use.

    We had pads down while our stuff was being moved in. And everything was stored in the garage, moved into the house a little at a time. Furniture pads under everything! Area rugs in other areas to protect the floors that we spent over $5000.00 on between material and installation! I contacted Lowe's last year to get info on the warranty. Got the runaround! Had serious health issues, so everything was put on hold. I contacted them again recently and was given the name and the number of the manufacturer again. When I reached the manufacturer, I was told that Lowe's knows the process, which is they are supposed to file the warranty claim, having all required information. Oh no, that was too much for them to do! I spoke to an employee at Lowe's on Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA.

    I explained that my receipt had begun to fade, it has the cost there, the PO and invoice numbers but the description is not visible. He said, "Come on, I and we will print a copy." I drive across town to hear it is only 6 months they keep the receipts in their system! He had me call the Go Lowe's customer service number. I eventually got through to a young woman who said, "nope only 90 days, they keep records, but let me speak with my supervisor!" She gets back to me saying that there is nothing they can do. I asked, "So we are supposed to take a $5000.00 plus loss?" I don't think so! On hold again for a long while. She comes back and says, "Ok we can try to do a receipt request!" Meanwhile the employee at the store tried getting a manager to come speak with me to see what they can do. He never showed up. He was too busy to care!

    I was told they would handle the receipt request at store level and get back to me today. I waited until late this evening to call to see what if anything can be done or what is the news they have for me. The salesman who was supposed to call me back did not! He is gone for the day! So here I am flapping in the wind. On the phone with Lowe's customer service. Which I should have done myself instead of waiting for Lowe's at store level to handle anything! What a waste of time. I will never buy spit from them again. I just got off the phone with Lowe's Customer service, speaking to a rep and a supervisor. Who informed me that after 365 days they no longer have the receipt in their system, "sorry but call us back if there is anything we can do for you!" Then has the audacity to ask me to do an end of call survey. I said no! What a waste of time and money!

Not only do I not have any ice, Lowe's cannot offer any solutions except to send the same repair services out to "try to repair it again". I have never been so disappointed in a purchase in my life. I really felt Lowe's would stand behind their products and do right by their customers, but obviously I was wrong.

    The customer service staff was rude and disrespectful. I was at the customer service desk for almost an hour just standing there trying to sort out the return of an item they got wrong. My husband and I special ordered an item, when my husband picked the item up they gave him the wrong item. I had to return it to the store. I waited over 15 mins to get help getting the item out of the truck. I then waited because the cashier could not find the order. The cashier did not keep me informed as to what was happening, found the order and processed a refund which was not what I wanted. This lead to a discussion with the Service Manager (I waited another 10 mins for him) who at some point thought I received the wrong item to only leave me there waiting for another 20 minutes while he went to look to see if the correct item was the back.

    In all I was there a little less than an hour, just standing at the service desk with no one speaking to me. And, at no time did any of the individuals involve apologize for any part of this disaster. The final breaking point was when the original service person came back from what I can only assume was a break and looked at me and said "Wow you're still waiting". At that time another customer service person turned to the first and said "Don't engage her" as if I was some unstable, dangerous customer. The staff at Lowe's customer service is Contemptable.

Both insisted that their installation people were certified, specially trained. They were also the subcontracted delivery people. The stove was a quick installation. I was told the stove would have a new stove chemical smell. They ran the oven for 30 minutes. I ran the oven for an hour for the next 4 days, kept a window etc. but the smell was still there. I called Lowes and asked for a more experienced person to come back. They did, and found a loose fitting.

    Over the next few weeks I was still not sure that the smell was gone. It was faint but never smelled like rotten eggs! I called Nicor gas and they checked the installation. It was still leaking due to loose fitting and lack of that goopy stuff that is painted on. How many other stoves are out there with this problem? Lowes should not be installing stoves! How much did it cost me with this leak? How much was my health impacted?

Just like a previous reviewer from a week before, it said that it's not available. They clearly keep it online just to bring people to their site, so on principle, I will go out of my way not to purchase from them, even though they have another model I could go for that is the same price as other stores. Unbelievable. I tried to post a review on their site, but they rejected it... What a surprise. There was no 'bad language', just a message warning about their practices.

    On 3/27/18 my stackable washer/dryer was deemed un-repairable. After doing some research online, I decided to go to Home Depot to talk to their experts and make my purchase. When I got there I had to ask two different people for help in the Appliance department. Finally after tracking down yet another employee, I was told that the Appliance expert had left for the day (at 7pm, even though the store doesn't close till 10 pm). Annoyed to have wasted my time, I rushed over to Lowe's in the hopes of having a better customer experience. If only I had known then what I know now.

    At first, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the sales associate was. He was fairly knowledgeable and was able to answer key questions I had. One important factor for me when it came down to making my final purchase decision was availability and final delivery date. I was told it would deliver on Thursday, 3/29 and that I would receive an automated message the night before that would provide a delivery window of 2 hrs. The sales associate asked me if the washer/dryer was to be installed upstairs or ground floor. I told him it was upstairs, to which he replied "okay that will be a four man job".

    On Wednesday night I missed a call on my cell phone that had gone straight to voicemail. When listening to the automated message left on my voicemail, there was no delivery window mentioned (it sounded like the recording had not started at the intended beginning, but I can't be sure). What was on the automated message was a request for me to "press 1" to confirm the delivery window, or "press 2" to do something else, etc. How stupid. How are you going to have instruction like that on an automated message without regard for the possibility that the person the message is intended to reach may not be able to physically answer the phone?

    How am I to confirm anything this way? Ridiculous. So I call the number back and of course there is an automated message that asks you to dial the extension if you know it and to otherwise wait for your call to be answered. They don't actually call you until after 7pm, so if you are calling back, don't expect anyone to be there to answer your call. Nervous that my delivery would be cancelled since I couldn't press 1, I tried dialing a series of numbers just to get to someone's voicemail. I left a message on that voicemail explaining that my voicemail had picked up the automated call blah blah blah. Left my number, name and requested someone call me back to let me know the delivery window for the following day and to consider this my confirmation for the delivery date of 3/29. No one called me back.

    The next morning and the day my unit was to deliver, I called them again. I spoke to someone about my order. I explained that I had not been able to confirm my delivery due to the automated message being left on my voicemail and that the message did not include a delivery window. He confirmed that delivery would be between 3-5 and they would have an automated call go out 15 minutes prior to arriving. Great – I arranged to be available between those hours which meant taking time off work. But I was excited that I would be doing laundry that night – as I was starting to run out of clean clothes and my house was in disarray due to the preparations I made for the installation.

    I received the automated call 15 minutes prior to the arrival of the delivery team. They were right on time. When they came inside and saw where the laundry closet was, the guy said they’d need four men to do this job – him and his coworker would not be enough. I told him that the salesperson had said that when he asked me whether I lived upstairs or not. Why this info was not on his paperwork is beyond me. He took some pictures of the stairway as well as some measurements, apologized and said that he would have to call his boss to let her/him know what happened and then he left. I was very disappointed that they were not able to complete the delivery because of a simple communication failure.

    I called the delivery company directly and spoke to someone who said she’d have to check on the schedule for the following day, but after speaking to me for a little she told me that she was putting me on the schedule for the following morning between 8-10am with a team of four. She said I should expect a confirmation call that evening.

    Meanwhile my boyfriend had called Lowe’s to find out what the heck happened & to get assurance that there would be no further issues. Multiple people promised return calls that never came or were returned 8 hours later. I’d like to point out that every time you call Lowe’s, you get transferred around, get hung up on, get placed on hold without anyone ever picking up, get the wrong department, etc. This experience or runaround was repeated every time we attempted to reach someone. I will say that by the end of this fiasco, I know all the names of the people in the Lowe’s delivery department and recognize the voices of those that work for the incompetent delivery company.

    That night I did receive my confirmation call, but the automated message stated that my delivery window would be from noon to 2pm. This was not what I was told when I called after the initial failed delivery attempt. My attempt to call them was futile. I had no choice but to call them in the morning and that is what I did. When they looked up the delivery, there were no notes regarding the promise that had been made to me to deliver between 8-10. They had me on the schedule for 12-2 pm. I asked if that schedule included a team of two or four delivery personnel. I was shocked to hear that that only one team of two people were assigned to my delivery.

    I cannot believe that after the initial mess up, they promised a resolution that was never on the books and furthermore had me on the schedule for two people – despite the fact that the whole reason it couldn’t deliver initially was due to the need for a four person team. Mistakes happen in every type of business -we’ve all been on both sides of a situation where errors are made. It is how you recover or rectify those mistakes that truly affect a customer’s willingness to do business with you and your company again. Sadly, this was strike 2 for me and all the hurdles in between each strike made it all the more likely that I would NEVER consider buying from Lowe’s again.

    My boyfriend, now familiar with all the staff at Lowe’s, called them yet again and explained what had happened. One of the reps had agreed to a $200 credit. That eased some of the pain, however, the trust was broken and my patience was running out as my pile of laundry continued to mount. I work a LOT of hours, so taking time off work is difficult and finding time to collect my laundry and take it somewhere is not only inconvenient, but would also require more time than what my schedule can afford to give. I just want to say again, that one of the reasons I chose the unit that I did was because of Lowe’s promise to deliver by Thursday. Well, Thursday had come and gone and Friday was on its way out and I still didn’t have my washer/dryer.

    I was beginning to think it would be better if I canceled my order with Lowe’s and make my purchase elsewhere – I figured it would probably deliver a lot faster than this situation with Lowe’s would be resolved. With the passing of each failure – several per day (lack of follow up, empty promises, Lowe’s staff unable to successfully communicate with the contracted delivery company and vice versa, being disconnected, placed on endless hold etc.) my disdain for Lowe’s increased. To be at the mercy of a company that cares so little for its customers is incredibly infuriating. My boyfriend had to contact Lowe’s multiple times again to ensure that the delivery on Saturday would be with a team of 4. They assured him it would be and that it would be in the morning. It was the only time I would be available, as I had plans that could not be changed Saturday night - so an afternoon delivery would be out of the question.

    My big plans of doing laundry that night were dashed and my stomach was in knots – nervous that Lowe’s would let me down yet again. Around 9pm Friday night, I received the automated message I could now recite by heart, confirming delivery for Saturday between 8-10 am. I was to be the first stop. I started to relax a bit. Saturday morning, around 9:30, I received the 15 minute automated message stating they were on their way. Finally! I was so excited that this fiasco would be over and that I’d be able to do laundry in a matter of an hour or two. They showed up – the team of four (they really do exist) and they began the removal of my broken machine. This was completed without issue. They gave me time to clean the area in preparation for the installation of the new machine.

    Several minutes later, the delivery person that I now recognized due to his multiple trips to my house, comes in and informs me that he is unable to complete the delivery because the machine I ordered is damaged. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was at a loss. He went on his way and I sat down to let that info sink in. I would have to buy clothes to make it to my event that night if I wanted something clean to wear. I called Lowe’s again, got hung up on once, transferred incorrectly twice, but finally reached the familiar voice in the delivery department.

    I am embarrassed to say that I was in tears at this point. My frustration level had finally reached its limit. She put me on hold while she spoke with the other two people we knew by name in the department. I explained that I’m supposed to go out of town for Easter the following morning and that I have tickets to a show that night, so even if they could remedy by this afternoon, that would not work. I would have to cancel my Easter plans and would do so if delivery could be made the following morning. She looked for another unit in stock and told me she would call me back. This was the first return call I received within a reasonable time. She informed me that the delivery would be set up for Easter Sunday and that there was a unit in stock.

    I received the automated confirmation call for a delivery window of 8:30-10: 30am. At around 9:45am, there was a knock on my door. The delivery man asked me what was to be delivered to me. Whaaaat? You don’t know what you are delivering to me? How is that even possible? I have to say that if I was the person responsible for the appliance delivery at Lowe’s I would have been there personally to ensure everything went smoothly and that the customer was finally taken care of. I told him that a washer/dryer was to be delivered. He said he’d have to check the truck. Check the truck? What kind of delivery company is this? I’ll tell you, they are ill-equipped, uninformed and unprofessional? After everything that happened up until then, I immediately felt sick to my stomach. Was this going to happen today or not? When he came back, he confirmed that the installation would happen. Hallelujah.

    They brought the unit up and put it in place, did a two second test of the dryer and washer and took a photo of their handy work and left. Moments later I looked around the unit and found a piece of a plastic hose that had “assists in draining, do not remove” imprinted on it. I have no idea if this piece belongs to my unit, if it fell out of someone’s pocket, or if it’s a critical piece for my machine. Again, stomach in knots. I ran out to see if I could stop the men from leaving, but they were long gone. As I made my way back up the stairs, I noticed all the dirty smudges and handprints that were all over the entire stairwell. It took me a good hour to paint over all the areas they touched. Another bonus. I finally start my first load of laundry. Unbelievably, the hot and cold water was swapped. So, when I want cold water, I have to select hot water and vice versa. How hard is it to get that right? Lastly, the unit had scratches on the lid and the outside panel.

    While I did receive an initial credit for all the failures, as well as an upgraded machine without an additional cost (the machine I originally ordered was discontinued apparently and they no longer had any in stock despite what I was told - again, another untruth), the headaches, work hours lost, Easter holiday plans cancelled, painting of walls etc. is nowhere near worth it. My unit is scratched and spits out scalding hot water when you select cold, but hey, it came with a door prize - an extra piece of plastic drainage hose.

    My fight is not over. I now have to get in touch with Lowe’s once again regarding the hot/cold swap and schedule another appointment. I can tell you that this purchase has left me with PTSD and I dread having to go through them to complete this job correctly. I will never forget my experience with Lowe’s. They have no regard for their customers. Their focus is on the bottom line at the expense of the people that actually affect it - the customer. I will never do business with Lowe’s again and will be sure to share my experience with anyone and everyone willing to listen. You can bet that if there is a place for me to post my review, I will be doing so – and from the reviews I have come across thus far, I can see that I am just one of thousands of unhappy customers.

    We placed an order for washer and dryer on Friday March 30. We were told that they will be delivered Saturday March 31. We received a call Friday evening to say they will be delivered between 1 and 3 pm Saturday. Saturday morning we receive a call stating that they mixed up our order. We spent 45 minutes on the phone where they fixed the issue on THEIR end. They then told us that they will be delivering yesterday afternoon. Got a call at 2 pm. to say they can't because the items didn't get on the truck for delivery. I spoke with a manager. He assured me that he will handle. He said that they now don't have the washer in stock but have the dryer. He assured me that the dryer will be delivered April 1 between 7 a.m and noon time and washer will be delivered on Monday April 2.

    This morning we receive a call to let us know that again they now don't have either items in stock even though Anthony assured me that the dryer was in stock and will be delivered. When we call, we wait literally 20-25 minutes and the people on the other end have zero clue on what has transpired, what discussions have occurred. This is NOT the kind of service that anyone should have to endure. Lack of credibility, lack of professionalism and outright misrepresentations to clients.

    Ordered a saw online. Two days AFTER Lowe's computer says it has been delivered I contact my local Lowe's. Customer Service said they couldn't help me and told me their manager will call me back. Never happened. Contacted Lowe's customer service. They couldn't provide status and blamed it on their vendor (not my issue, Lowe's should be responsible for their vendors). Next call they said the computerized status is wrong, the product has not been shipped yet (this is now several days after they cashed my check). Wouldn't give me a tracking number.

    Next call, they couldn't contact their vendor. Again couldn't or wouldn't provide a tracking number. I asked about getting a refund. They said I couldn't get a refund until I receive the product which, at this point, may never happen. So, at this point, I feel Lowe's is doing an unacceptable job on tracking the order and an unacceptable job managing their vendors. I feel they are negligent in pointing the finger at their vendor and not taking any responsibility for this failed service. I will NEVER place an online order through Lowe's again.

    Updated on 04/13/2018: After 3-1/2 weeks and several trips to my local Lowe's I finally got a refund, but not until after I filed the reports with UPS. They took absolutely no responsibility and only blamed the problem on Black and Decker and on UPS but would not lift a finger to help. I have not received one reply back from any manager and the only reply I got back from corporate customer service was to tell me that if I ever get my saw I can get a refund. Local store customer service was nice but was not empowered to help. They hit the same brick walls I did. Product is still lost but at least someone (customer service at local store) gave me a refund. I will never use their on-line ordering again and the juries still out on whether or not I will ever use Lowe's again.

    In the middle of a remodel and needed to buy tools and materials. The contractors had some Lowe's store credit (under their names) that they would like to cash out since they needed cash more than store credit. Went to the store with them, bought the materials bought more than I needed as it's the rule of thumb for remodeling and asked 2 different cashiers that if I had to return the things, will I have any issue putting the credit under my name so I don't have to rely on them. I was told multiple times that is not an issue. Spent about $550 and about 400 worth of store credit.

    Went to return some of the items along with other items that I previously purchased on a credit card and the store credit was issued back to me in store credit which was fine. When I noticed they did not ask for my ID, I asked them to make sure it's under my name so I can go buy more items, they said it's going to the original person and there's nothing that can be done. The clerk recommended that I call the contractors and ask for their DL# which I did but later found out from that manager that this does not work either, the person needs to be there.

    This doesn't help since I need to buy more materials and what if the contractors aren't available anytime soon to go back to the store with you or any other reasons. Spent 30 minutes with the store manager ** and even offered to take the items back and find a use for them and they can keep the store credit and was told if I did that, it would be theft. Extremely rude. I called customer service and explained the situation and asked "If Lowe's prevents its customers from transferring store credits to someone else, what happens if the customer loses the card, can Lowe's find it in their system and re-issue it?" The answer was "It's treated as cash, if you lose it then it's on you." Not so treated as cash if you can't give it to someone else. Bunch of BS.

    Home Depot has a similar policy but they were straight on their answers so you know what to expect. Unfortunately, I have to drive an extra 3 miles for a Home Depot rather than going to the Lowe's across the street. Last of my business with them.

    I ordered a Washing Machine on Lowe’s.com as it was late at night and my washer had just gone out. To my surprise, my order confirmation stated that my new washer would be delivered the next day between 7 am and 9 pm!!! I was excited! The order confirmation also stated that I would get a call narrowing down the delivery time to a two hour period. I did get that call, stating my delivery would be between 930 am and 1130 am the next day.

    The next day comes, I wait, and wait and wait, it’s finally 12:30 pm, I get a call from our local Lowe’s store calling to let me know that they do not have our washing machine in stock. What??? I asked the lady why it was then that I got 2 confirmations that delivery was scheduled for today. She replied in a very smart tone, “Who did you get a confirmation from?” So I explain... She then replies that she doesn’t know what happened and that they just don’t have the washer in stock. I asked her when they would get one in, and she said she didn’t know. She then looked up on her computer and said they were getting a delivery, but didn’t know when it would be there.

    At this point, I’m fuming... How can you tell customers a delivery is scheduled and just never show up. She blamed it on the fact that they partner with an outside delivery service and their calls are automated. WHAT??? Makes no sense. The only way the delivery company knows to make a delivery is if Lowe’s tells them it. And be delivered. She had no response. Absolutely No Apology. So I just sit and wait for them to contact me back to let me know when the washer will be delivered.

    Then about 3 hours later I get a call from the delivery company (automated call) asking me how my delivery went. What the heck... so I leave a message that the delivery never happened, and got a recorded message stating that someone would be in touch with me soon... 12:26 pm the day after my washer was to be delivered, I’ve heard nothing from Lowe’s nor the delivery company. Cancelling my order, I will go elsewhere!

    All Lowe's stores have a loading area close to the store that is intended for customers who are ready to load purchases into their vehicles. Most of the Lowe's stores I have seen even have signs posted, "No Parking. Loading Area Only", or words to that effect. Nonetheless, there are those customers who care only about themselves and use the loading area to park while shopping inside the store. This is especially true at the Lowes's store in Belmont, NC. I have repeatedly spoken to the employees, department managers, and 2 different store managers at this store about the situation but they've done nothing to rectify it.

    When I shopped there, I was forced to wait, and wait, and wait, for the loading area to clear so that I could load. Many of those PARKED in the loading area often came out of the store with NO PURCHASES, or with a plastic bag or two. I did find a solution, however. Starting about 16 months ago, I now shop at Home Depot where store management has respect for my time. During this 16 month period, I've spent over $15,000 for various projects and pleased to say that not a penny went to Lowe's. Good riddance!!!

    I placed an online order with Lowe's. I do this every time I have to buy something from them. Usually I pick up my order but this time they had to deliver it to me. I ordered on March 3rd and they said it would be delivered on March 24th and that I would receive an email with the 2 hour delivery window. The day before Friday, March 23rd I received the email stating my delivery window was Noon to 4:00 p.m. (some 2 hour window). I waited all day for the delivery. At 6:30 p.m. I called Lowe's dispatch to see where my order was. They put me on hold and after waiting several minutes, I heard a recording saying press 1 if you want to leave a review. OK, so I hang up and call back. The woman on the phone says you have reached the corporate office. I said I don't know how when I called the same exact number. She wouldn't offer to transfer or anything so I hung and dialed again. I get back to where I was.

    The woman tells me her manager said my order didn't make it on the truck for delivery and that there were some items that were unavailable. I said, "so let me get this straight, I ordered 2 weeks ago and you guys wait until the 11th hour to tell me some items were unavailable?" I told her that I waited all day and not even receive a courtesy call to let me know my order didn't make it on the truck was totally unacceptable. I told her I wanted a discount and I wanted to be the first delivery on Sunday as I couldn't waste another day waiting and I wanted the manager, Christine, to call me back to confirm this. Two minutes after having hung up with her, I get an email stating that my payment didn't go through so the order could not be processed.

    I call the customer service number provided in the email and speak to Jack. I advised him that they ran the payment on March 22nd and is pending in my bank account. He said that the bank was holding the funds for some reason and they needed to be released (he was saying maybe because of fraud). So I hang up with him and call my bank. The bank rep advised that Lowe's submitted the authorization for $595.14 on March 22nd and today they were submitting another payment for $543.

    So instead of Christine just issuing us a $53 credit, she tried to process the full $543 amount and it wouldn't go through. The bank rep also stated that Lowe's would have to issue a cancellation of the $595.14 and then process the $543 or just process the credit of $53. So I call Lowe's customer service department back (now it's 7:40 p.m.) and spoke to a gentlemen who tells me that the authorization from March 22nd was cancelled at 7:39:29 tonight and that is why my order wasn't processed. I said, "You don't make sense."

    My order was processed on March 22nd and was supposed to be delivered today between Noon and 4:00 p.m. And dispatch never once mentioned payment as an issue. They said it wasn't put on the truck for delivery. We decided to do a 3 way call with the bank to fix the issue. We waited for over 40 mins for a bank rep to answer our call but never did because now it's 8:30 p.m. and they closed at 8. The Lowe's rep made it sound like it was the Bank who cancelled the authorization when in fact the bank rep made it clear that Lowe's would have to submit a cancellation of the $595.14.

    The Lowe's rep would not set up delivery or acknowledge that they screwed up. They are trying to make it seem like I didn't get my order because of my payment. I tried calling my local Lowe's to speak to a manager at 8:51 p.m. and they already had their "we're closed" recording on. Really? You close at 9:00 p.m. not 8:51 p.m. After I get this problem rectified, I will never step foot in their establishment again. I have overlooked a lot of their flaws but this won't be one of them.

I got to store at 4pm this particular evening and finally got out of the store at about 7pm, because the employee wasn’t told about a change to the computer system. Ok, a week later I get the estimate, the individual tells me that the store would call me. Another week past no call. I just happen to stop by to pick up something. I decided check on the carpet. The employee said he could not find my order, probably because he was concerned that he didn’t have lunch yet. So I told him to call me when he finds it. Another week passed, so I called to talked to a store manager. The employee calls me back moments later and said, they could installed the carpet because the heat wasn’t installed yet, and he could not tell me the cost to have the carpet.

    Lowe’s problem is that them hire minimum rate and part time employees that don’t only care about getting a check. This is just one situation at this store. I could read a book about the problems I have had with this store and I have only been here since January 2018. I cringe when I have go there be but if I’m on the other side of town I try the go to Home Depot and get what I think I might need. The store I’m talking about is located on Ramsey St in Fayetteville NC. I guess I am spoiled because of the great service and the very competent in Northern Virginia stores. Needless to say Lowe’s didn’t get the job, I got the carpet install by Empire in two days.

    What a HORRIBLE experience I had today during the delivery process on 3/22. I placed an order online on 3/19 and was scheduled to deliver on 3/21 from 11:30-1 pm. My tenant took the day off for the delivery, waited until 1 pm, no one called or texted. Then she called the customer service to check the status of the delivery. Then she was told they can't reach out the driver, but should be there by 3 pm. Waited until 4 pm, still no one showed up, she called again, was informed that the manager will contact her soon. By 5 pm, she still didn't receive a single word. I have to reschedule for another delivery. I was informed the delivery will be from 10:30-12:30 on 3/22 and will call or text me 30 minutes in advance. I received a call at 9:40 am, and was told will be there within 5 minutes, fortunately I managed to be in the house by 10:10 (I was told by the driver that he will leave by 10:10) even it is much earlier than I was informed and expected.

    Then I was instructed to remove the front door by myself for an easy evacuation without any measurement and any help. I asked him is there a blanket or cardboard to be wrapped the refrigerator when they are moving the item in, then the driver asked me to sign the yellow paper and told me that he will not be responsible for any scratches. The two gentleman watched me took the heavy door off, moved to the other side for more space to pass. Afterwards, they went upstairs and told me to unscrewed a small piece from the door, I quickly did again by myself.

    When I finished, I went downstairs to tell them is ready to go. At this moment, the truck driver has already left the house without a single word by NO DELIVERY, I looked at the empty space in the driveway with some snow on it, totally shocked. I am wondering what kind of professional service is that??? It is the worst service I never ever had!!! Very unprofessional, VERY DISAPPOINTED, VERY RUDE! Totally wasted our two days on this matter, I regret to make this purchase from Lowe's!

    Mr. Steven ** and Keith ** are what customer service are all about. We come to this location regularly and purchase most of our products when we are renovating, this was the first time that we had purchased appliances at Lowe’s and the price and customer service that we received from Mr. ** was phenomenal. Mr. ** is a straight shooter and honest, knows his products extremely well and when there was a issue with the delivery he went to get the store manager (Mr. **). He took a decision on the spot... These 2 human beings are the epitome of "customer service". Corporations should reward employees like this accordingly.

    I had a scheduled refrigerator delivery today. The delivery guys did not have ruler to make the measurement to ensure that they can move in. They asked me to take the front door off and I did. Guess what? When I went downstairs (after disassembling the door) and looked for them and their truck was gone (I was not told either). These truck drivers are rude and unprofessional. Next time, when you think about ordering appliance from Lowe's. Please think twice!

    UPDATE on 3/28/2018: I wasted 2 days to deal with the refrigerator delivery issue with Lowe's. I escalated the issue to Customer Service and I was told that I should be expecting 2 calls from Lowe's about the issue and delivery schedule. Since then, I never got any calls from them. The refrigerator was not wrapped at the time of delivery with dent and stains here and there. I was told by delivery personnel that Lowe's was aware of that. I ordered the item in brand new item not a returned item!!! Where is Lowes's Customer Service? Should I report the defective items to them? Are they going to do anything about it? This will be the last item I will order from Lowe's.

    Yesterday I visited my local Lowe’s armed with appliance dimensions from the contractor redoing my entire kitchen in my house that suffered a catastrophic loss. I was ready to purchase all the appliances for my new kitchen. The first gentleman who approached me suggested I find the refrigerator I liked and he then referred me to two of his associates who would provide me with information on the whole suite of accompanying products to match: double oven, gas cooktop, over-cooktop-vented microwave and a dishwasher. I found two large refrigerators that would fit my space and budget and then spent 30 minutes looking/waiting for a sales associate (the appliance area isn't that big).

    Two employees not on the clock paged a young female associate who had seen me earlier in the dishwasher section. When I asked for her help to print the specs and pricing on the suite of products she told me she wasn't sure the printer had enough paper. However, she kindly provided me with the model numbers of the two refrigerators I selected and suggested I print the suite of products at home. I really like Lowe’s but this experience left me perplexed about the work ethic of this individual and is it indicative of future generations? Not sure where I will buy my appliances.

    We bought a set of appliances (5 pieces) including fridge (Samsung) and dishwasher (Bosch) with extended warranty in 2012. In 2013 my stainless-steel fridge's door started to rust in multiple places (10-20 different spots). We called Lowe’s, after some long waits we convinced them to exchange the fridge (took a few months). They did exchange the fridge but said, “You would not have extended warranty on this new fridge as you used it for the exchange.” Although it did not make sense to us, we accepted it. Since then there have not had any problem with the fridge. It was 4 months ago, our dishwasher started to not to wash dishes as well as it used to. All the dishes started to come out really dirty.

    We called Lowe’s and we set up an appointment, a guy came in a month to evaluate the problem and then setup another appointment to replace a part after another 2 weeks. He came and replaced the part, which did not fix the issue. He said he would call us to come back and fix it again, but never came back. After 2-3 weeks, we called Lowe’s. They sent another guy (Bosch service guy). He came and evaluated the problem and said he would come with parts in 2-3 weeks to fixed it, he came with no parts. He said 2 of 3 parts were back ordered, 3rd part came but it is not the right part. He mentioned he would come back in 2 weeks and fix it. Last week he came to change a part, but he could not find the part in the service vehicle, and said he would came back for yesterday, he never called us and never showed up either.

    Long story short, we have paid extended warranty for it, our machine is still under warranty, we have been trying to get it fixed for about 4 months, but it has never been fixed. We use this machine every day as we have kids in our house. This was one of the worst experience of my life, when you combine it with our earlier experience with the same company there is a pattern here, sorry to say that but that is the truth.

    The product consisted of two garment hooks, that you'd hang in the bathroom or a closet. BOTH were defective, as could be seen by simply looking at them closely and seeing that the little screws to hold the hooks in place didn't screw in properly. The fact that both hooks had the same issue says something about Lowe's QA. But OK, these things happen. Here's where it gets astoundingly bad. I look up my order online to see how to return it. It's not apparent so I call Lowe's. Even though I bought the product online, they INSIST that the only way to return their defective product is to go to one of their stores!!! Even though I bought them online! Lowe's said that's because the product was "special order."

    No, I bought the hooks off their website, what appeared to be normal products with normal product numbers. Tried talking to a manager, no luck. Hey, Lowe's: I bought these hooks online because your stores are not convenient for me. I'm having to return them not because I changed my mind but because THEY'RE DEFECTIVE. I've been buying stuff online for 15+ years. Sometimes you have the OPTION of return products to the vendor's brick and mortar store, but the vendor insisting that's the only way to return something you bought online? Nope! Clearly Lowe's doesn't understand the basics of e-commerce or customer service. I won't be back!

    Called Lowe’s about drawer slide on my 41” tool chest twice while it was still under warranty the part never arrived after three months, due to the top drawing not being able to close or lock the chest tipped over when being moved the chest probably weighted with tools in both upper and lower chest over 1000 lbs and nearly fell on me and both tool boxes were damaged to the point of rendering them is useless. I had called to file a complaint received a reference number and direct phone number of one of the Lowe’s reps and was told I would receive a call back the next day. I never did, I left three messages over the last 2 weeks and never received a callback, I called numerous other numbers and have been on perpetual hold and never have been able to speak to anyone else.

    If the original part that I order was ever ordered or shipped after three months I would have never had this tragedy happen and wasted 1000 this piece of junk toolbox that looks nice but has been nothing but trouble. I probably lost 1000 of tools due to being damaged when the box tipped over things like meters gauges, laser levels etc... I have been a loyal Lowe’s customer over the years and have bought numerous tools and building material, I will never buy another Lowe’s product ever again, good companies stand behind their products. Lowe’s has done nothing but prove they hide when there is a problem and just pass the buck. Something as serious as a 1000 lb toolbox almost falling in their customer.

    DC Lowe’s STINKS! Don’t shop at this store, they don’t have anything in stock, have no clue to what they are doing and won’t even bother to answer the phone. We purchased 3 Kohler toilets, 2 Kohler pedestal sinks and a 60” vanity. Our bill came to over $1700. The person helping us told us that we could save 5% if we used our Lowe’s card and that they would pay our Lowe’s card with our debit card and then put on the new charges on the paid Lowe’s card. Big mistake. We made a $1600 payment and then got declined. Oops, it takes several days for a payment to post. The manager got involved and agreed to order the vanity and said they would call Monday morning to redo the payment – the remaining items were to be picked up by our contractor Monday morning. You guessed right, no call Monday morning. I call and call and finally get a hold of customer service. The payment still has not posted.

    Tuesday morning we get a call telling us our delivery from Lowe’s is at our house. We are in an apartment while we are renovating and had to drive ½ hour to get to the house. Imagine our surprise when there was one toilet being delivered. Especially, when we did not ask for delivery, but we're going to pick it up. I called and found out the other toilets are out of stock. These are the toilets we purchased. The pedestal sinks are still at the store – I guess they only deliver one toilet at a time. This time, I can’t get thru to customer service. I call 17 times in a row, it just rang and rang until the phone disconnected. Finally, I get a callback, but I am in a meeting and don’t answer. A long message is left with a phone number to call and an extension. Guess what – number was to customer service and they don’t answer the phones!

    Nor does their system give the option to enter an extension. I get another message on Wednesday evening – again, no answer at customer service. I call Thursday morning and after asking a variety of departments to transfer me to customer service, they answer the phone. I am told that they don’t have the toilets I bought, but they will substitute another toilet. They offer me an American Standard. When I explain how the toilet and pedestal sinks match I get silence and then well, we are offering you an American Standard. After I get mad, I am told that the toilets came in and they do have them. Joy. Now I have to wait until Friday morning for them to be delivered.

    Do I have faith that they will be delivered by 10:00 a.m. Friday morning as promised? NO. Did Lowe’s charge me a delivery fee when we requested to pick up the items? YES. Does Lowe’s care? NO. We are supposed to be moving into our house on Friday – movers are already scheduled. We have no sinks or toilets and now have to stop moving so we can install these items. I am furious with Lowe’s and will not shop there again. FYI – I bought a lot of items from Home Depot. No problems, our contractor picked them up and they were ready as promised. Guess where I’ll be shopping from now on.

    After 25 minutes, the representative told me she could not help, asked to speak to a supervisor, after another 15 minute wait, he told me that there was nothing that could be done.

    I asked about the warranty I purchased and was told that want valid for 1 year, the manufacturer provided the service. Another 15 minutes brought me to the store manager.

    Store #2371 in Cypress, TX. I usually enjoy shopping at this store but sadly this is not the first time the following has happened. I was looking at John Deere riding mowers inside the store with intent to buy. There were no salespeople nearby so I continued to examine the models thinking they will ask to help when they see me. Four different employees walked by without ever saying a word. I even sat in a lawn chair, right in front of several models on display, for over 20 minutes looking at information on the mowers of interest and still not one person inquired how they could help. It was not until I walked near the area where two salespeople were stocking mower parts that I was asked if I needed help.

    Then, when I asked for information about the mower he said he didn't know anything other than what was on the display sheets. He should have said he would take just a moment to get someone with better knowledge about the equipment. He did NOT. Clearly the employees don't realize that if customers are not helped they may not buy the products, thus the store does not make as much money causing a decrease in staff. Hello, no job!! They seem to think stocking shelves is their primary job but without a purchase being made it won't matter if the shelves are stocked or not. I went to Home Depot and a salesperson went out of his way to track down a department manager to help me in more detail. I realize now why HD is always so busy, when Lowe's just one block away rarely has crowds.

    This place has really gone downhill. The store is nice but the customer service is lacking, bordering on rude. The managers are helpful but the front line staff obviously don't want to be there and they take their displeasure out on the customers. Last week, it was a man working in lighting who refused to help me when I was trying to find a lighting fixture. He pointed to a shelf and said, "it's somewhere in there." I asked him if he would help me and he just looked at me. Two days ago, I arrived at the store to pick up baseboard that was listed on the website as in stock. I arrived to find the baseboard still wrapped up on a pallet and store personnel were unable to unwrap it before the store closed. Forced to wait until the next day to pick it up.

    Two days later, I purchased plywood and a handful of other things. During checkout, the cashier was unable to find a price tag on the plywood. We looked everywhere and I suggested she call someone to have them do a price check. Instead, she insisted on her and I taking the plywood off the cart to look for a price tag. I assured her there was not a price tag, but she insisted on taking the board off the cart. We removed the plywood and she was not able to hold onto her end and the plywood ended up on the floor. She complained to me that she broke two of her fingernails and that she would not be able to help me pick it up off the floor. After waiting a few minutes, staring at my board on the wet floor, a kind man offered to help me pick up the wood. The cashier then had an attitude with me, still complaining about her fingernails.

    I asked if she would write down her name so that I could follow up with a manager later. As she was ringing me up, I let her know I had a military discount. She ignored me and continued scanning the items. I said a second time I had the discount and then she turned to me and said, "too late, I already rang everything up." She said I would have to go to the customer service desk to get the discount. I asked her if she would be willing to go to the customer service desk for me and she refused. I again asked to talk with a manager and the manager was helpful in getting the discount. While he was working on it, I loaded my plywood into my truck and come back into the store. As I was walking out, I asked the cashier again to write her name down and she hollered, "my name is Tiffany."

    I loaded up my items in my truck and came back in to follow up with the manager on the discount. As I was walking to the door, I asked the cashier again if she would write her name down. She responded sarcastically, "do you want my stage name or my real name?" I asked her for her real name and she turned away. I took out my phone and told her I would just take a picture of her name tag. She put her hand up, blocking my phone so I hit the record button. She told me I was not allowed to videotape in the store and I said I just wanted her name. When I tried to reposition my phone to get her nametag, she pushed my phone away. I asked her not to touch me and she responded, "do you even have any friends?" I learned later her real name is Karen.

    Bought a fridge for our business (had to run after the customer service guy to sell and arrange delivery of fridge). They were supposed to deliver Sunday but driver called and was really rude saying he was delayed with another delivery and promised to deliver the next day. I call Monday and they have no clue about where the fridge is and they sent a survey about how happy I was with delivery!! Really?? I was told by the delivery company that the driver was not following policy and advised me to contact Lowe’s manager to reimburse our company for the money spent for the reservation of the freight elevator and the overtime for our employee waiting for the delivery guy.

    So they promised to deliver Monday and the same story happened with a rude driver hanging up on me twice and also Lowe’s customer service was nowhere to be found even when we called for the 5th time and asked for a manager, you can hear him talking with someone but not replying to your phone although we were waiting 18 minutes on the phone then they hung up. So we decided to get a refund and of course everyone is blaming the other for the mismanagement. If you need something go to Home Depot, much better customer service and they actually care about you as a customer.

    I ordered a refrigerator to be delivered three weeks from purchase - that was the soonest I could get delivery. The delivery department called me on the Friday before delivery-it was to be delivered on that Sunday. They called the Friday before to check and make sure delivery on Sunday was still a go, and I told them, "Yes, see you on Sunday." We waited the ENTIRE DAY- no delivery. I’m going to get my money back from this Bluffton, SC Lowe’s and go to Home Depot for my refrigerator purchase and see if they can do better. It’s worth noting that the number that they called me on (my cell number) - on Friday to clear delivery was never called on Sunday- I never received a call or anything- no- "Hey we can’t make it"- NOTHING. They obviously had the right number to call because they called it on Friday.

    I have a credit card with Lowe's, in the 3 years I have never been late on a payment. I'm in a process of buying a house, my lender told me to pay all my credit cards down to 20% of my limits, which I did last month. My limit with Lowe's was $1000.00 and I made a payment last month, bringing my balance down to 20% of my limit, thinking it will help me with my process, today I received a statement from Lowe's and they LOWERED my limit to $220.00, you guys just should've closed the account. It's pretty sad and disappointing, I'm not asking for an increase or my credit back. There are plenty of retailed store like yours, as a matter of fact I work for one. You guys just lost a customer??? Will pass it on!!!

    Ordered 2 glass sliding doors 11/13/17. Come Jan 2018 I was told some parts were damaged in shipment. So they wanted to wait until all parts are in. Had doors installed in Feb 2018. The installer was a smoker and left 4 butts on my grass. Never asked if it was ok to smoke on my property. As I have dogs and did not need my dogs to be eating the cig butts. He left without saying goodbye for that day nor did he tell me what was not finished. Also all of the parts were not there for the installer to put in my screen door. And caps were missing from the frame but not told about it. He came back when the track was sent to me (as I had to call the window co myself to be sure the track was ordered for the screen door). So the installer came back and installed the track put the screen in and did not fix the rubber part on the screen so bugs would not get in. as I had to tell him to do it.

    He also did not notify me that the hook/latch part to lock the screen was not installed. One of the sliding glass doors was not flush with the frame. Had to tell him so he could correct it. Told Lowe's about his lack of communication with me and parts missing after Lowe's telling me all parts were there for the door. Talked to the installation dept about the situation and told them I did not want that installer to come back to put the latch on for the screen. I called the window ceo and he had a rep come out and see what was missing and not completed.

    As of right now I am being told someone was out of my house to put the latch on but no one was at my house and was told they called but I did not answer? But I was home. They have lied to me and keep telling me someone is going to call me to set up an appt to fix the latch. And no one calls. I have spoken to at least 5 different people at the store starting with the installation dept to the salesperson to the store manager. And none of them are on my side to get this door latch put on and still waiting for the caps to be put on the door frame. I will take this further and call the Lowe's CEO and the BBB and talk to my attorney about this to get everything done so I can put Lowe's out of my life. Bottom line you are taking your chances by dealing with Lowe's for any type of installation.

    Associate Kathy ** at the Customer service desk was condescending and rude. First I was told that I needed my receipt to get my deposit back then she double tracked on that and then she came around the desk and turned the machine over and told me. "You have two options Sweetheart, you can either forfeit your cleaning deposit or you can take the machine home and clean the roller and bring it back." Sweetheart? Really! I had explained that none of this was told to me at time of rental. When I looked at her - she was smiling. OMG. Furious! Never again!

    We very seldom go to Lowe's because the nearest one is about 70 miles away. So on March 1st, 2018 we went into the Evansville store, while checking out there was 2 males upfront, the older of the 2 was yelling at the top of his lungs reprimanding the younger one. Granted, the young man may have done something that needed to be brought to his attention, however, no one needs to be yelled at and belittled in front of customers and other employees. This should have been done in private and with respect. I have never been so appalled at a human being, this post is not about my "feelings", or "rights" being trampled, it's about respect for your fellow coworker, respect for customers, respect in general.

    If this man, was a manager, he needs to be fired. After the incident, he conveniently removed his name badge and was on a "high" because he thought he was the "big" man, it was disgusting. I called first thing and talk to one of the managers, I truly hope he is fired, people like that do not to be in those positions and be on power trips.

    I have spent over $10,000 on home improvement projects from Lowe's. It has always been my first pick among all other stores in the area. In November 2017, they offered me their special 5% off or 18 months free financing if we signed up for their card. We purchased a washer and dryer for $1300. They gave us $1,000 on the card. We opened the card and by January our balance was $200 on the card from the large payments we made on the account in effort to establish good credit. On January 24th, 2018, they decided to close my account as “closed by grantor” because things that were on our credit report... the same things that were on our report when we opened our account and we have had no missed payments on any of our credit lines (which we only have/had two several months before we even considered the Lowe's card).

    So not only did they lower our credit with the hard hit to open account, now I'm going to have a “closed by grantor” on my credit for the next 10 years. Minimum payment on the account = $25.00/ what we paid, and never late = 500, 100, 100, etc. paid way before due date. Called Lowe's corporate, the bank they use, the customer service department locally. All I got was "it wasn’t our decision", and you can't talk to the people who made the decision, call the credit bureau if you want to try to dispute it. Unbelievable.

    Lowe’s online site had listed a ceiling fan at a clearance price - tried to pick up the fan at a local store but had my online pick up had been cancelled. Tried to reserve for pick up again at a different location and again my order was cancelled. After a two week investigation into the matter by Lowe’s customer service department, I requested to have my request go higher up the ladder as they were only offering a 10% discount (less than their Family Day sale). Still no resolution and would not admit to their error and honor the price they originally listed the fan at. Very poor customer service! Go to any other store and if they have a sale mislabeled that store honors that price and gives it to the customer at the sale price. Not Lowe’s...horrible customer service!

    I bought a hot water heater from Lowe's. When it failed, the parts were covered by the warranty, but not the labor. Lowe's (at Eastern and Russell in Las Vegas) and especially Robin, stepped up and paid for the labor. When the water failed again less than 1 year later, Lowe's and Robin again stepped up - this time replacing the whole water heater AND installing it at no cost to me. (It is a different brand than the original one as Lowe's no longer carries the original brand.) Way to go Robin and Lowe's!!!

    Purchased a laminate floor from Lowe's. It was installed incorrectly by their contractor. Spoke with many managers in the Bay Shore store, no help. E-mailed CEO Robert A. Niblock several times, no help. Put a dispute in on my CC. This has been going on for over 6 weeks. Contacting News channel 4 at this time and BBB. Do not purchase any product Lowe's sells that requires their contractor to do the installation.

    I purchased 18 pieces of privacy fence on Friday afternoon I wanted to purchase the $ 42,97 up above the fence it had $ 42.97. But when I got to the register it was $ 46.97. NONE of the fence rung up $42.97. Well that was a rip off to start with. Then when we put up 1st piece it didn't fit right so we measured it and it was only 71/2 for the panels which I had to go back and buy more panels. SO Lowe's really screwed me out of money and I will be taking MY Business to Home Depot from now on. I won't be back at Lowes in Douglas, GA. Thanks for screwing me out of money.

    JASON, with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth the whole time. Lowe's, Seaford DE 2/6 or 2/7/18. I went in to buy a Lowe's refrigerator. Gave Jason the model number. "My Store"- Seaford, showed a delivery date of 2/19/18. Jason said it would not be delivered until some time in March. I asked him to call and verify this since their website showed 2/19. He called -- someone -- and answered several yes/no questions, then hung up. He told me that refrigerator would be delivered in March.

    I went to my car and called Lowe's Headquarters. The female told me that refrigerator should be delivered very near or on the 19th. She called another town. This manager said he could have it by the 19th, then he would call and schedule delivery. No. If Jason can keep me from buying a refrigerator in Lowe's, Seaford DE,

    then I won't buy a refrigerator from any Lowe's. The Seaford store manager, according to Jennifer, was out of the store for a week. But nothing would have gone any differently. Bullying is rampant everywhere here, although clearly, they don't bully men. When you have better people at the top of a corporation, things like this don't go on.

    I recently purchased a Whirlpool washing machine from Lowe’s. It has started to shake really bad on spin cycles, and it also goes haywire with continuing to do extra rinse cycles, to the point that I have to unplug it and plug it back up to reset. I have a 5 year warranty on it. So they send out a repair technician to fix the washer. He comes out and makes the assessment. He says that he has to replace the tension rods and the tub because the tub was cracked.

    Fast forward a week later and the technician comes back out but said now there is another part that he needs to order before he can fix it, so he comes back out a week later and takes up 3 hrs of my time replacing the parts. Later that evening I run the washer and it’s doing the same thing so I call Lowe’s and tell them that I want another washing machine because I have a warranty and obviously this one can’t be fixed so then the lady tells me that I will have to allow him to come out one more time and attempt to fix it. Why won’t they just honor the warranty and give me a new washing machine. This is some of the worst customer service I have ever dealt with for any company. I guess I’ll be switching over to Home Depot and see if they are anymore customer friendly.

    Purchased a microwave at Spring Hill TN Lowe's and received great service from the sales people. Was told it would ship from their distribution center and would arrive and be installed within 5 to 7 days. On day 7 I called to find out why I hadn't heard anything. Was first told the purchase was a special order. When I disputed that they retracted that argument. Then put me on hold for 25 minutes then said they were checking to see if the item had arrived at the local store. Then they disconnected. Worst customer service ever. Will cancel the order and purchase elsewhere.
