I've ordered everything online and this is the first time I've ever order anything online from Lowe's and it will be my last. I've ordered the Frigidaire Range Hood Item #: 346106 | Model #: FHWC3660LS and it was scheduled to deliver in a little over 3 weeks. Home Depot had the same item and it would have delivered in a week, but I decided to go with Lowe's since it cost a little less. Big Mistake!! A few days before the schedule date, I got an email confirmation that my shipment was scheduled. I was supposed to get a call the day before or day off on the window of the delivery time.
Come delivery day I didn't get a phone call or email so I called them up and check on the status. The guy told me that they didn't even receive the item at the fulfillment store. Then he said he was going to check with the delivery manager. Dude didn't even bother to call me back. Then not long after that I got an email indicating that my order has been changed with no reasoning as to what happened. So if I never called them they wouldn't even notify me or even check on my order? Now I have to wait over 4 more weeks before my new delivery date!! I called them and all they could say is that since it's an online order and not in stock that it's coming from the vendor and they have no control over it. What kind of bull crap is that?
It's your name on the website, it's your reputation, if you can't work with a vendor that you can rely on then it's you who dropped the ball on this. This is BAD business, who would ever want to order anything if it's not going to arrive as expected. Even at this point they still could not tell me where my item is and when exactly it was going to arrive. So I cancel that crap then went onto Home Depot and order it there. I should have done that 4 weeks ago!

Ordered 1-Piece Natural/Wheat Deep Seat Patio Chair Cushion. Item #: 18889| Model #: WDS-001. Item is 2 pieces. I called to complain and the representative was extremely rude! It was my first and last experience with Lowes.com.

I run a good sized property management company and we have been purchasing all our kitchen appliances from Lowe's for the last few years. Everything was great in the past and we used them exclusively and chose them over Home Depot consistently, but these last 6-12 months have been unbelievably bad with every single appliance order we have placed having issues with deliveries and billing from so many angles.
The day before or of delivery we would end up not receiving all the promised appliances. New tenants moving in did not have the promised appliances due to Lowe's errors and then would take multiple weeks to finally receive them in. The time spent trying to rectify and solve the issue mounted to countless hours of wasted time that has greatly affected our productivity. We will not be dealing with Lowe's anymore and are transiting to Home Depot going forward. We spend close to a $100,000 on appliances every year and we will not be spending that money with Lowe's anymore.

Warning. Never use Lowe’s for fence installation, installer John. Lowe’s this is how I feel, so my first online rant Worst experience ever with having a fence installed, first I’d like to say yes the 300’ white fence looks beautiful in front of our home when passing by, but for $6,000. It should. It was installed the beginning of June before our daughter's wedding, assured by Lowe’s Greg ** sales person that their professional architect will make sure it’s installed correctly. Greg measured himself. Delivered short on supplies, then we come home to this 1/2 of scalloped fence smack in the middle. Countless calls to the Salesman that says it no long in his hands, calling corporate, countless days, looking for this to be corrected, and here we are In September. They are the worst telling us the replacement fence is on order, I go to the store and the fence has was received in the back on 7/12/18.
Looks like because they already have our money they don’t care if we are happy or not. We had to go and pick up the replacement fencing ourselves. Lowe’s should call their customer Judy **. Update, the installation person should have been at our house today 9/12 to start the repair, with the 6 missing post, no show again. Called the store. No one will take the call or call us back. The worst.

The installation of this fence was incorrect. They hired an inexperienced company. They didn’t haul off debris and left the yard a mess. The gates were incorrect and they have now ordered the same gates 6 times. This has been going on for 4 months. I now have to hire a different company to fix the problems. Do not trust your fence install with Lowe’s. Communication is horrible and they are not helpful. The fence was installed crooked and the gates broke within a week.

I purchased a refrigerator on 8/20/2018 with a delivery date of 9/14/18. I opened a Lowe's charge account to purchase the fridge. 1 week later I received a bill for the fridge with a payment due date of 9/18/18... then I am told the fridge will not be delivered until MAYBE 9/17/18. I called Lowe's credit card service to defer the billing until I actually receive or at least they ship the fridge... Lowe's will not work with me and said that is their policy and I could pay late and they would waive the late fee charge... how ridiculous is it that they suggest I pay my credit card late and not work with me. Not only am I paying for something I did not receive I now am being given different delivery dates. This is not a fair policy and you should not be billed for something until it ships!

Just spent 45 mins looking at refrigerators at the 25th street, St Pete store. No other customers were around. There 2 sales associates. One checking on inventory the other on the phone with an unhappy customer. Neither said, "Hello, I'll be right with you" or "BOO!" We'd come to buy, left when realized they weren't interested in helping us...

Store 1787 has the worst customer service department of any Lowe's store throughout Georgia & Florida. (9/4/18) I called into the store to express my concern regarding an "interest" issue with a recent purchase, that should have been "6 months interest-free on purchases of $299.00 or more." My purchase was $1000.000. The person that answered said that the managers were in a meeting, but, she would talk with them about this after their meeting. I expected a call that day. ZERO FOLLOW-UP!
(9/5/18) I called the store and spoke to a different customer service rep that assured me she was the only one who could help me with this problem & that it was a fairly easy fix. She asked if I could bring all my paperwork concerning this transaction into the store, that afternoon. I did. When I arrived she said that two other people were helping her with my concern. She made a copy of my original purchase receipt. She wrote her name & one of the managers' names on the back of the receipt. I asked her how long it would take to resolve this issue. She said, one to two days.
(9/6/18) ZERO FOLLOW-UP! ( 9/7/18) I called the store to speak to the customer service rep that helped me on (9/5/18). I was told she was at lunch. I then asked for the manager, whose name she had written on the back of my receipt, on (9/5/18). I was told by the person that answered the phone that he would be in in 15-minutes. I called back within 25-minutes & asked for her again, thinking that she would be back from lunch, by now. Now I'm being told that she wasn't in. I then asked for the manager, believing that he would have arrived at work by now but now I'm also being told that he wasn't coming in that day. I questioned that as I was told earlier that the manager would be in in 15-minutes. Several hours passed & I expected a call but ZERO FOLLOW-UP!
(9/7/18) Later that afternoon I listened to a voice message from a different Lowe's associate, who I had never spoken to before. I called her. She immediately claimed that she had been trying to arrange an install (which was the least of my worries & not my original concern regarding interest). She continued to "talk over" me, while I was trying to explain my situation. I had to raise my voice to get my point across. When I explained my frustration of being charged interest, specifically when I requested the six months no interest on my card, she said: "Well you didn't check the box!" I said "What box?" She said the box for no interest to be applied. I said that a girl behind the customer service desk completed this temporary credit card for me, & at that time, I had requested the six months no interest. All I did was to sign the keypad on the other side of the desk.
Then I said that if given the opportunity to pay interest or not, it's a no-brainer that most people would choose no interest. She said; "Well, everyone's different!" At this point I was furious: I said "Don't play this game with me." She hung up on me! I called back within five minutes & asked for the same woman who hung up on me. I was told that she wasn't in. I then asked for the person who helped me originally on (9/5/18) & I was told she wasn't in. I then asked for the name of the person that I was speaking with & all she said was: "I can help you."
When I asked for her name a second time again she said: "I can help you." I asked a third time & she said the same. She refused to give me her name! I continued to explain my situation. She asked for my cc number, which I gave her. She said that she would handle it. She also asked for my email, which I gave her. I assumed that she would email me later that day, with some news. ZERO FOLLOW-UP!
(9/8/18) ZERO FOLLOW-UP. (9/9/18) ZERO FOLLOW-UP. Later that afternoon on (9/9/18) I called Lowe's Corporate to complain. 1-800-445-6937. The rep listened to my concerns & said that Corporate would follow up with 24 hours. (9/10/18) ZERO FOLLOW-UP from Corporate! (9/11/18) as of 11:00 am ZERO FOLLOW-UP from store 1787 or Lowe's Corporate! Obviously, I'm getting the run-around! It appears that Customer Service at store 1787 plays games with customers; they cover & lie for each other when they do not want to handle a difficult situation. Is the store manager at store 1787 aware of this?

This is the third time I have ordered online from Lowe's. All they did was waste my time and I had to go to Home Depot and order the items. All three of the times I was left in limbo with no updates to the orders. All it said is that they were in process. I finally called customer care and was told the orders were cancelled. I guess no one bother to let me know or why. They really really suck!!! I have 3 Home Depots within blocks of my house and have never had a single problem with any of the stores or online orders I have made from them. As far as I am concerned they might as well close the doors since they will never get another penny from me.

July 11th-paid for measurement of windows... $53.00. Contacted department at Lowe's store. Besides being told they were short staffed was also told they currently had no supplier. Really. You had a sales on them with sign posted on store display. A number of telephone calls later... Lowe's employee contacted me informing me all my information had been forwarded to Florida. Wow, my home is in Minnesota. ONE MONTH later the measurements were taken. September 10th contacted store to get an estimated time for installation. Guess what? ORDER received, (supposedly) had not been processed. Approximately 3 months dealing with a non-existent vendor... Cancelled ordered. Placed order with Home Depot. Supplier does exist.
The new CEO is going to have their hands full. I think I would have the Manager of each Store be accountable for cancelled orders. I could give them the name of few employees that should also have to explain their lack of customer service. I am out $53.00 measurement charges for a product you can not even supply. Shame on you.

Please do not ever use Lowe's for a home improvement project. First they make you pay upfront. I will never do that again...then they contract the job out to lousy inept contractors. Our fence job was terrible. Very poor construction and was put in the wrong spot. A job that should have taken 1 or 2 days took over a month of return visits and repairs. It still isn't right. Lowe's doesn't answer or return calls and just gives you the runaround... It is frustrating and stressful. Shop around and hire a legitimate contractor.

I bought a dishwasher and installation service from Lowe's on August 31st. They charged my AMEX for the agreed amount and they scheduled the installation technician to come to my home today Monday Sep. 10th. Around 11:30, since I had no news from the installer, I called Lowe's. Short version is. More than 45 minutes on the phone. Most of the time on hold. They couldn't find records of the transaction. After being transferred to different extensions, I was told it was my fault because I never paid the purchase or the installation. I told the rep. I had my credit card statement in front of me and there was a charge from Lowe's, on 10/31/18 for the agreed amount.
Apparently the sales person I had the misfortune to spoke to on 10/31 never set up the appointment with the technician. They offered me to reschedule the appointment but at this point, considering 2 hours of my time wasted with the purchase and today's conversation, I do not want to deal with Lowe's and probably I will go with the competition. I got a phone call from Lowe's later on to let me know they credited my AMEX with the due refund.

I purchased $9800 of Pella windows at Lowe's and to be installed by Lowe's. The windows were not installed properly and the job was never complete. The windows are not properly flashed, fastened, not plum and leaking. Customer service is terrible, I have been lied to and they have no follow through. This was started in January, they came again in March, both times they did not have the materials necessary to complete the job. There is a problem with every window. I have tried to resolve this with Lowe's to no avail. Their customer is the worst I have ever experienced. The workmanship is absolutely horrible! Water is leaking into my home! What a rip off. I never expected this from Lowe's.

Bought a whole house generator in May 2018 and it hasn't worked from the 1st day it was Installed. 1st Installer claims that a wire was missing and drained the battery. Then we are told a sensor is bad. Call Generac to find out that the wire is not sent with the unit, Installer to purchase it and that the Installer is not Generac certified. Great right, Generac suggests we get a certified person out to look over the Install and generator, so we do. Well the list of things that are wrong with the Install, is a mile long. This Installer had no clue what he was doing and Corporate keeps pushing me off for weeks now. They keep saying this Installer is certified, um no Generac would have him in the system. We called 3 different times to Generac to see if we got the same answers.
To top it off the generator is too small for the house and will not run the whole house, like we wanted. Again Noah at corporate keeps pushing us off for weeks, even after sending him all the pictures and paperwork of all the things wrong and the print out that it's the wrong size generator. Noah keeps saying he has to talk to CPO and area Install Management. Really? So now we are without a working generator for 3 months now. Complete joke this company is. We found out that Lowe's does not have to hire certified Installers, they just have to pass a drug and background check to be a contractor, even though they advertise the Installers are. Run. Don't use Lowe's for any Installation projects.

I purchased 5 fans online and received confirmation/order details. I went to Lowe's of Alexandria Customer Service Desk to pick up fans per online notice that they were ready. I gave Tracey my confirmation numbers. T told me the fans were not at the CSD and I had not purchased the fans and that’s why they were not at the CSD. I asked how I could have confirmation numbers if I had not made the purchases. T turned around, walked away, took a seat, and started doing something. Not facing me she said, "I can still hear you." I refused to talk. T turned around and said, "I had to go get the fans, bring them to the CSD and buy them."
I asked what I was supposed to put them in or on. T told me to walk back to the fan department and someone would figure it out. I returned with the fans and attempted (multiple times) to tell my truth of the online purchase but Tracey kept cutting me off even when I asked her to stop. Finally, I spoke with the manager and he confirmed that Tracey was rude and wrong about me not paying.

I ordered a wood treatment product I wanted online from Lowe’s as they showed a 3-day delivery date which was faster than Amazon, Home Depot, etc. My order was confirmed via email, but there was no shipping tracking number ever given or any further communication. After 9 different attempts to find out what happened with my order over the next 6 days (online, phone, email), I finally got a manager who said that I can expect the item in 4 more days. There was never any notice online or via email of a delay. If I had known the item would take 10 days rather than 3, I would have canceled my order and placed a new order elsewhere. Now I am still waiting with no assurance that I’ll even get the item after 10 days. Horrible communication about order status and delays. Lowe’s says they have no control over when their suppliers' ship. My advice, do not believe any delivery date you are see on Lowe’s website and go elsewhere.

I purchased a Hotpoint washer and dryer set in November of 2015, and I also purchased the product replacement plan that was good for 3 years up until November of 2018. Well, the wash machine flooded my home in August 3rd of 2018, so a repair tech was sent to fix the problem. He ran no tests, didn't believe me when I told him what was going on with the wash machine or where it was leaking from. So he ordered some random parts based off what he thought was the problem. I admit those did temporarily fix the problem for about 2 weeks. Well all the sudden on August 20th 2018, the washer flooded my home again. I called the same repair company that had just recently serviced the wash machine to come and check it out because the problem obviously wasn't fixed correctly.
When they arrived, he guessed as to which new part he could put in once again and 2 days later installed that part. Well, after testing the wash machine out, he determined that the most recent part didn't fix the problem either and called his company to see what to do about it. Lowe's called me within 10 minutes and wanted to buy back my wash machine for what I paid for it, minus the amount I paid for the warranty. I agreed because there were no other options they could give me at that time. Today is September 7th 2018, and I have still yet to receive the "Merchandise card" which is supposed to be the form the buyback comes in. Every time I call Lowe's, I get a different answer as to when it was sent out. Their customer service is horrible and they do not REPLACE the products that you purchase a REPLACEMENT plan for.

When a very large company cancels an online order due to running out of that item, even though item was considered "in stock" at time of order, one would think that this huge company would automatically search nearby inventories to get that out of stock item. In fact a neighboring store did have that stock. When calling Lowe's two separate customer service representatives stated that "it is not our practice to search other store inventories". Then I got on an online chat with someone that stated that Lowe's can check other store inventories but that it is a different number. What a sad way to run a huge business. Maybe it's time that people started going back to the brick & mortar stores for the best business. There is a reason Lowe's has an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars.

Purchased a GE Air conditioner from Lowe's in July. It breaks in August. They won't do store credit because it's outside of 30 day warranty. GE won't do a refund because they didn't sell it. So now we have to go through a lengthy return process to get the same model that will probably break after 45 days of use next summer. Will never shop at Lowe's or buy GE ever again. They sell crap.

I have spent over two months calling Lowe's about the ridge vent that was not installed. When I finally spoke to the local sales rep he stated he couldn’t do anything and contacted the corporate office. The corporate office did not get back to me until I called several times. After two months nothing has gotten done and I am told again that the local installer will get back to me, again. This is the same local installer who wanted an additional $1500 from me. My trust for the installer and Lowe's is zero. A local reputable company would have been a much smarter choice. DO NOT USE LOWE'S.

I purchased a riding mower from Lowe's in April 2018. I didn't purchase an extended warranty because for 1. It was a brand new mower. 2. I was told by one of Lowe's employee that it was a great mower. Now after a few months of purchase the mower and after the return period the mower is making popping sounds, and noises unheard of from a new mower. The front is leaning to one side and the steering is very loose. There is very little control in the steering! I filed a dispute with the company and it was denied.
I also received a handwritten letter with very bad penmanship telling me that I did not get an extended warranty and Zi would have to take it to a shop and if it was not a manufacturer defect I will be liable for the cost. I have closed my account with Lowe's and will never ever shop there again! In my opinion and my experience this mower is suitable for selling. This product should be taken off the market. A good amount of money just given away. If this mower is giving this many problems after a few months what really is the quality of this machine?! One star only because I have to. I wouldn't refer this s product to my worst enemy!

Yesterday, we went to Lowe's and saw 1 "washer/dryer storage drawer" selling for $10 at clearance area. Wow, we were so surprise "why so cheap", and figured out it's damaged.

Then, after discussing in group, they decided that DON'T sell this with the price on Ads for $10, and adjusted the price for 75% off original price which is about $270. The manager with the face "nothing guilty or ashamed" to ask us "buy it or not"? This is what you guys make deals and treats to customer? You guys are NOT honest, and hurt feelings to customers.

Lowe's uses Synchrony Bank for their credit Card Services so you are forced to deal with two companies when trying to resolve credit or charge issues. Example: To see your statement you have to get on the Lowe's Credit Card site and download the statements from Synchrony. But to review your actual charges, you have to call or visit a different Lowe's website. I'm not even sure where or who to call to make a complaint about charges: Lowe's says call Synchrony. Synchrony says call Lowe's.
To make matters worse, Lowe's lowered my credit limit by $1,000 without warning. I called Lowe's to find out why and, you guessed it, they say to call Synchrony. Called Synchrony and they told me I had to wait for a letter in the mail. DO NOT GET A LOWE'S CREDIT CARD!!! Better to use one of the major credit cards if you're going to make a purchase at Lowe's or, better yet, shop at Home Depot instead.

We purchased Lowe's white vinyl fencing. We needed some additional parts as we are installing ourselves as one nice thing was that online orders are honored with military discount. That was the only good thing that I can say about Lowe's. Received a call from the W Philly store stating that all items were in stock and ready except for one item. That one item we were able to get from our local store in NJ. Therefore we asked them to cancel the one item and ship the rest.
To make a long story short I have 19 post holes dug in my yard a week ago just waiting on the delivery which we found out yesterday the most critical item to start the job is on backorder and won't be in from supplier to that store until 9/11. Mind you delivery to store not my home So betting it will take another week for us to get the material making it mid-Sept. Needless to say after hours on the phone talking to more people than I care to... There is no resolution. No offer to drop ship the items, no offer to provide a discount. NOTHING. Worse customer service I have ever experienced from a store. We had considered having them come pick up their stuff and reimburse us the over 2k we put out but my fear of them screwing that up is high.
I will NEVER EVER purchase from Lowe's again. No sense of responsibility, no sense of urgency, lack of follow thru and follow up, terrible customer service, no availability to customers and no accountability. Escalated a complaint to their corporate and then filed a complaint with the BBB. With my husband being in the military we work projects around his schedule and this long weekend where we thought we'd get stuff done is a bust. Not to mention the vacation day I took off and the cost to rent an auger and tiller to prepare our lawn for this big job is money and time I will not get back.

I recently bought a new home and decided to use Lowe's to install blinds. When I got to the store there was no one in the dept and I waited forever for someone to come walk by to assist me. Finally someone came by but he didn't work in this area. He paged someone that could possibly help but she never came. Apparently she was on her lunch break. I left my name and number around 1 pm or so to have her call me so that I could come back and talk about my purchase. And she called at 3:30 pm and said she would be leaving around 4 pm. REALLY??? And the only other person who could possibly help was on medical leave. After going back and forth several times I finally got measurements for windows on a Thursday and was told I could go back in store on Saturday to order blinds.
I went to the store on Saturday and was told no one in that department worked or was working so I would have to come back. I IMMEDIATELY asked to see the manager and to have my account transferred out of this unorganized store. She said no need. She would handle it. I told her my measurements should be in, as it turned out they were sent to person on MEDICAL LEAVE. The Store Manager located the contractors and they sent measurements to her email. No one called me back to come and pick out blinds so I went back to the store and yet again there was no one to officially help me and I didn't want to miss the sale that was ending in a few days so I was not leaving until I ordered them.
One young lady did assist with another co-worker and blinds were paid for and ordered. Days went on and I called back to see what the procedure was when the blinds came in. This is when I found out that the blinds would come in and someone would call me. So another week goes by and I get a call from the same young lady who ask me if I had someone to install the blinds. I was puzzled because I paid and they stated I was all set. She continues to tell me that, "NO MA'AM. You have to pay the installation fee or they will not have them installed." She stated this would be around $65 dollars or so. I left work and took the money down there immediately and was told on NO MA'AM by another employee that it's going to be $99. I was just told by another employee this was not the case. So now I'm paying an additional $99 on top of the $800 I just paid. Which isn't a problem if they would get their procedures together.
I guess this is due to no one expect this ONE person on leave that knows how to operation this particular area. So I paid and left the store. So roughly days later I get home and there are several HUGE boxes outside my door. I was NOT told that they would be just dropping them off at my door, no tracking number or anything to ensure someone was home. So I call the corporate number and they proceeded to tell me that I have to call the store who will then call the contractor who will then call me to set up a time to install the blinds. OMG... how convoluted and insane is this?
So now I had to call the store back to get the ball rolling. At the end of the day the contractors were amazing!!! They came in and installed roughly 9 windows within 2 hours. The blinds are very nice and I have gotten compliments on them. I also love them myself. Now would I use Lowe's again? I'm not 50% sure. They made my moving into my new home stressful and I didn't enjoy the experience as moving into a new home with new products and finishing should be fun and exciting. The lack of communication and understaffing left me horribly displeased with this enterprise.

Please never consider Lowe's for any major project. They sent a nice sales rep who kindly took my credit card as account info and stated my deck would be installed before the 4th of July. It was finished as promised but it was horrible. Unlevel, unprofessional and I kept calling for help and Lowe's just sent the same crew to butcher the project even more. I finally signed off on it so I could be done with the lies and run around.

It is with great sadness that I write this post. Lowe's have lied, and lied, and lied some more. Today is Aug 29th. We contracted with Lowe's Home Improvement to replace our roof with a GAF certified roof because of the warranty. We paid 6000.00 total to have it professionally done on our home... We could of went with any fly by night roofer and paid half the cost but we thought, if we hire a professional we would get a professional job done...especially when you spend thousands of dollars. My husband and I have depended on Lowe's for all of our home improvement needs for many years, BUT NO MORE!!!
Look out Home Depot. Here I come (This is not the case and I am 50 shades of mad). When the contractor that Lowe's hired to replace our roof did the job he came out and measured the roof for the exact amount of supplies and only to find out later that day they ran out of material half way through the job and ended up stopping for the night and didn't cover the roof (yep it rained) and now we have issues on our roof. We have been in contact with Lowe's corporate representative and calling the head manager at Lowe's and wrote to the CEO of Lowe's.
Now they want me to spend more money to hire someone else to come out and take off a couple of shingles and replace them with new ones so I can send them into GAF to be tested. We don't believe it is the shingles but we believe it's damaged from where they didn't cover the roof that night and it rained on the decking boards to cause the warping and discoloration. Due to the way both parties are pointing the finger who can we trust? We need help to get Lowe's to fulfill the terms of the contract. Because we are not a satisfy customer due to our roof looking worse now than it did 14 years old. We have sent pictures to Lowe’s consumer care at corporate headquarters and they have done nothing but talk. They refuse to answer our questions and our phone conversations cover the same complaint every time without any concrete progress. Our home sit around a cul-de-sac so it sticks out like sore thumb.

Had a sales rep come out on 6/7/18 for a fence & installation quote. Ask how long it would take to install the fence & was told they were 4 weeks out & I was ok with that so fence was purchased & everything was scheduled. Subcontractor came out to remeasure the yard on 06/12/18, asked him what date the fence would be installed & he told me 7/6/18 which was around the 4 week mark that the Lowe's sales rep told me so ok great! During the next few weeks there was no communication from Lowe's or the subcontractor. July 6th comes and no one shows up at the house so I call my Lowe's "Project Coordinator." My call goes directly to voicemail so I leave a message. I give it 24 hrs & hear nothing back so I call again and again. My call goes straight to voicemail & another message is left. This pattern continues for 4 days and no one calls me back.
I email my sales rep 7/10/18 who then informs me that my "Project Coordinator" is no longer employed with Lowe's & I was assigned a new "Project Coordinator". He gives me the new name & phone # & tells me to call her since he's currently on vacation. I call the new "Project Coordinator" & again my calls go directly to voicemail, messages were left, & no one contacted me back. Frustrated I call Lowe's customer service on 7/11/18 to see what the ** is going on. They have no clue & ask me to call the subcontractor. I refuse to do so because that's not my job. It's theirs! They conference call the subcontractor & he's out to lunch... Of course he is! He'll call me back when he gets in.
About 10 minutes later the subcontractor calls me back. (At least I got a call back from someone right?) He proceeds to inform me that Lowe's had an issue with my order due to the fired "Project Coordinator" (seems like more people should be fired for incompetence) & that due to that & weather my fence installation would need to be changed to 8/29/18. Ok I understand, it's been really rainy and I want my fence installed properly. On 08/28/18 Lowe's delivers my fence & materials in huge pallets left on my driveway. GREAT! Tomorrow my fence will finally be installed! Nope today is 8/29/18 & no one shows up to install the fence.
I call the subcontractor who tells me that he has me scheduled for 9/6/18 & doesn't know where I got a schedule date of 8/29/28. I tell him that I have an email from them telling me this! He asks who the email was from & when I tell him. He apologizes & says that that person is no longer with their company. OMFG!!! SERIOUSLY? So now I have huge pallets of expensive fencing materials in my driveway that I have to guard with my life for almost an entire week to ensure that no one tries to steal them because my garage is full of crates of cement. This is just inexcusable & highly unprofessional! Once my fence is installed (hopefully next week but I doubt it) I am cutting up my Lowe's card & never using them again!

Updated on 12/05/2018: I have been speaking with a Customer Service Representative since August 2018 trying to get my deck fix. I have only been getting the run around and realize today they have no attention of fixing my deck. He calls me faithfully every time. He said he will if not available he will leave a message. They sent someone out in August an expert in building decks, he took pictures and made recommendations to me and Lowe’s. I was told once they was waiting for the pictures, then the planning material department for prices to replace the deck. I was told they will replace the deck but wanted to know if the city pass the inspection on the deck.
I found the information out and gave him the information. I was told today that it was too costly for Lowe’s to replace the deck, and because the city pass the inspection they will only replace a few boards. My question to him was first of all you never sent anyone from Lowe’s to tell me what you were going to replace, because this was bad wood from the being and more than a couple of boards needed to be replace. The Rep then ask me to send him pictures again of my deck he never receive them, after almost five months.
I told him he needs to send someone from Lowe’s to take the pictures again, because I realize that when I provided him with information he would use it as a reason to keep, from resolving the issues with the deck. When I ask him, "I thought you was going to replace the deck." He told me he can change his mind. It’s okay for me to pay almost $5000.00 for deck that is wrapping, splitting and start to go rotten in less than a year, but cost too much for Lowe’s to make good on their warranty per the Rep. I will never do business with Lowe’s again. The poor customer service I went through to get the deck built, is the same service I am getting from executive customer service department.
Updated on 09/10/2018: I finally receive a called from Global Interior after filing a complaint with Consumers Affairs. This is what happen. 08/29 Global Interior. A Laurie left me a message at 5:08 PM. 08/30 I return her phone call left a message, called back a third time got Chad the owner. Made an appointment for 08/31 between 9 and 10:30 AM. Will call before he came. Never called or showed up or cancel the appointment for another time. This was the holiday weekend so I waited until that Tuesday 09/04/2018, and called Global Interior back to see what happen. I spoke with a Racheal. Told me the appointment was on the schedule for Saturday 09/01/2018. I was off that day and was home until 3:00 PM. I was told she did not know what was going on and she will talk to Chad. I told her I was not surprise no one showed up, because this what I been dealing with for two and half months getting this deck built.
Chad called me back left a message 09/05 at 7:31 PM. I was at work. I called Chad back that morning on 09/06/2018 spoke with him and set another appointment again for Saturday 09/08/2018. Same time. 9:00 to 10:30 AM. Will call me again before he came, but of course no call no show. I e-mailed Customer Care again. Told me I had to call 877-505-4923. They could not help me. Lowe's recommended this lumber to me. Said it was better and I paid extra money for the lumber. I even had Lowe's REPRESENTATIVE AND PROWOOD REPRESENTATIVE ALSO THE SUB CONTRACTOR out to my home, all at the same time, because I had concerns about the lumber. Lowe's Rep assured me that the contractor knew how to cut around the bad lumber, and had them to replace some. PROWOOD told me that was the spices of the wood.
I put my trust in Lowe's because I had other Home Improvements with you. I called Lowe's this Morning. Was given a name and phone number, and the recording said that the person was out of the office until 10/05 to 10/25. Today is 09/10/2018, I also ask for a e-mailed address of the department that was to help me no response back with e-mail. How do you resolve a complaint and assign it to a person who is no longer with the company. I was told that this might be the only contractor they have to build deck in my area.
Original Review: The sales Rep at Lowe's convince me to go with PROWOOD Dura wood to build my deck. Paid extra for wood. It took over two months to get build, Some wood was rotten and had to be sent back. Not even a year later wood is splinting and wrapping. I have contacted Lowe's Customer service and e-mail them. I was told not to e-mail anymore and was given two phone numbers to call. When I call everyone I speak to tell me something different. Do not ever use them for a big project. The contractor will not come back once Lowe's and contractor is paid. I live in Michigan and the lumber yard where they get the lumber from is almost two hours away so to replace I have to go thru Lowe's. I start contacting them in June 2018. E-mailed them Aug 14. They will respond to e-mail but no help.

My wife and I are having a horrible customer experience with the Install Sales team at the Lowe's in Simi Valley, CA. On a handful of jobs (Floors, Carpeting, Window panels), the call back/follow through on status updates has been abysmal. Additionally, there have been botched appointments when the vendor stated a time to work on a project, but they came out at another time. Thus, my wife was stuck in a house during a recent heat wave. Also waiting to get an inspection report on our issue with the Pergo floors, which has not been received yet.
The latest incident was forwarded to Lowe's, via my wife's email, on August 27 - This is to inform you that the arrival date of our panel blinds is now 10 days past the date you specified in your last email. Additionally, there has been no response to the Pergo flooring independent inspection, and that is also 7+ days past your specified date in the same email. No one has contacted us about any of these still outstanding issues. As of today, there has been no response from Lowe's - Simi Valley. Besides never stepping foot in the Simi Valley Lowe's store or any other Lowes facility, I will forward the same complaint to the BBB.

Last Wednesday while shopping at Lowe's Apple Valley California, I went to the nursery to see if there were any shade trees left. I found a Sycamore and a Modesto ash that suited me and bought them. They were discounted to less than half of the previous price. After a lot of work planting them,(they were 12 gallon containers and 12 feet high), I showed them to my neighbor who was watching the planting. He looked at the Sycamore and said you have anthracnose fungus infecting this tree. I spent hours on the computer reading up on this fungus and what it meant to the tree. It is incurable. With extensive maintenance and expense, the tree will still be deformed, have browned leaves and occasionally defoliate. I don't want to buy that kind of problem or spread the fungus into a new neighborhood.
I went back to Lowe's and they said bring in the tree. I had brought in a 12 gallon container full of diseased leaves from the tree. That was about 90% of the leaves on the tree. I told them that I would not put a diseased tree back in my vehicle, filling it again with fungus spores. They could see from the leaves that it was diseased. I talked to a friend who is a world famous plant pathologist, and his advice was: Burn the tree, kill all the fungus, and buy a healthy tree. Also sanitize the ground where the tree was planted. But Lowe's just stonewalled me. They had me standing for 30 minutes to talk to a store manager, who never showed up.
Basically, they knew it was a diseased tree, or should have known, since they are in the nursery business. What they should have said was: "OK we see most of the leaves are diseased, please destroy the tree", or if for some unknown reason, they need to have a diseased tree back, they would come and dig it up. You don't suppose they intend to sell it to some other unsuspecting pigeon? More to this story later. By the way if anyone is interested, they have three more infected Sycamores for sale.

At this point we had no choice because the install was partially done. We reached out to complain and were completely ignored by corporate and the project manager for our project. There was a replacement screen needed which we only actually got by showing up at the store and 2 weeks later got an email to see if we got it.

In 2015 I contracted Lowe's to completely redo my bathroom. I paid over $25,000. Everything on the surface looked cosmetically beautiful. However, my showerhead control valve needed to have a cartridge replaced. When I called my licensed plumber he indicated a simple job. However when he took the valve faceplate off underneath was a mess. According to the Moen install instructions there should have been a 3" X 3" square hole to allow access to the valve and its internal flow controls. The plumber installed behind a metal plate disallowing access to internal controls and the tile guy completed only allowing providing a 1.5" X 3" access hole.
The plumber did not have enough space to simply install the cartridge and thus the simple job took over 1.5 hours. When I called Lowe's to complain they said I should have caught the problem during the final walkthrough and took no responsibility even though I thought that their project management and general contractor (which I paid Lowe's for) should have had my back. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they refused. I am very disappointed and will never recommend them to anyone.

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

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

I can't review the product since I still don't have it. Ordered $8,000 in appliances July 8, and told they would be delivered on 7/23. Received a call the night before and was told they had just shipped from the "manufacturer" and would be received in the Central FL Warehouse on 7/24, and would take an additional 7-8 days to reach the store for delivery. Spoke with the appliance manager who claimed that ALL special orders take at least 2 weeks to ship to them. So obviously the associates don't know what they are talking about, or are trained to lie so they can make the sale. Received a call to schedule home delivery on 8/2. All 4 products were delivered, all 4 products had damage or missing parts, or just didn't work. Range dented on the side, refrigerator missing an herb drawer, microwave vent fan does not work, dishwasher badly dented at the back of the tub.
Returned the dishwasher and waited 2 weeks for the new one to be delivered. I was assured by the appliance manager that the installers opened cartons and checked product before they left the store to ensure there was no damage. Installer shows up on 8/17, takes out old unit BEFORE he ever opened the carton and looked at the new dishwasher. The damage kept the door from opening properly so second unit is on its way back. I will be demanding Lowe's pick up ALL appliances and give me full credit so that I can purchase from a reputable appliance dealer. So once again another lie from a Lowe's employee, added to an installer that says they never check product before they leave the store, and that they always have damaged dishwashers. Yet he was not smart enough to check it before he removed the old unit. Complete incompetence and the last I will step foot into a Lowe's store.

My husband and I purchased a house last yr in 2017, we wanted to do house improvement/upgrade in the new house so we did some research in carpet purchase and narrowed down Lowe's. However Lowe's did not meet our expectation at all, it's so frustrating that it's been 5 months now and the issue is not close to resolution. We bought carpet from Lowe's at Raleigh store around 7 months ago, contractor came in the morning, after doing installation in the whole house at the end of the day they informed us that there are two different shades in the carpet and that someone will contact us shortly since contractor will report this issue with pictures and report.
Since then our struggle is still on, no one of course contact us and we are at point that we are literally being pass from one team to another, from different people from store manager to CPD and now to sales installation team to get this resolve and yet there is no follow up and status of what is still same. It's sad that we trust and choose Lowe's for the business and paid upfront $6000. This was absolutely not expected from one of the reputed company although I am convinced now I should rather warn my friends, family, co-workers and neighbors not to purchase from Lowe's. Lowe's contractor lied to us and informed us about the two different colors after the installation was done. After we raised the concern there is no satisfactory resolution Lowe's is offering.
Updated on 10/05/2018: Lowe's took close to 9 months resolve our claim in their interest even though it was 100% their mistake for a job done. The quality of job done was so poor so it failed in independent 3 party inspection. Even though Lowe's did not entertain us the way should be. We have 150+ emails of follow ups and spoke to dozen people during that time. I recently purchased home and quickly learnt that always go for local store (avoid giants like Lowe's) because they would appreciate your business and willing to satisfy customer. May be a little more extra cost but much better than dealing with giants which you cannot do much about.

About a month goes by without a word from anyone from Lowe's Home Improvement. We were assured there was a project director that would handle everything and anything we needed.
We called said director numerous times with no answer or response to numerous left messages. Finally, this guy returns a call... mind you it’s been a month and project was said to be completed in 2. He proceeds to tell us everything is in line for our fence... I ask, “What about the deck? I DONT HAVE ANYTHING HERE ABOUT A DECK”. Awesome. Well, finally he gets it together and assures is everything is on schedule. We get a call about a delivery, which we assume is the materials. Great. Driver comes, can’t believe it’s a house he’s delivering to. Refuses to take materials to our backyard. Finally, I convince him there’s nowhere else for them to go... Proceeds to damage our neighbors utility box in their yard.
Week goes by, I hear nothing from anyone about an install. No returned calls yet again. Eventually, the deck installer calls and says he’s backed up. Not Lowe's Home Improvement, the installer. Says he might get it done by July 4. Which thankfully it was. Now, all I need is a fence! Of course I’ve called this director, the store, store mgr, 1-800 # numerous times. No one has a clue about anything. Now, I start getting calls about deliveries... I think ok maybe stuff for the fence? Delivery comes, more decking? MY DECK HAS BEEN DONE FOR 2 WEEKS! Sent it back. Get a bill in the mail for the delivery. This happened 3-4 times. Trying to deliver more decking when it’s been completed.
I’m confused as to how this company is still in business at this point. Finally the fence installer comes... His 2nd day he’s there for an hour and leaves. Apparently the concrete that’s been sitting in my backyard for 4 months now has hardened. Go figure! He packs up and is gone. No word from Lowe’s, installer informs us via phone call. Gate for the fence is damaged as well and can’t be installed. We are told gate and concrete need to be ordered. 2 weeks go by, not a phone call or anything. Call store mgr, he can’t believe it wasn’t delivered yet and will get right on it. Another week passes, NOTHING. Get a delivery call... finally! "Just kidding. We have more DECKING for you." This is a bad joke at this point, right!?
I call the 800 # and finally get someone with a brain. Directs me to their install dept, my gate and concrete were at my house in 2 days. Really? It was THAT “hard?” They were supposed to pick up the bad cement... Contractor wound up taking it, not Lowe’s. Today, finally, my gate was put on completing my project. Or so I thought... Go to plug into my outlet on my new deck... no power. If I was this bad at my job I’d be fired ten times over. If I could rip all this stuff off my house and get my money back... I WOULD! I’ve yet to get a call about my satisfaction from anyone. #lowesblows

I will never buy another Appliance at Lowe's. Worst experience ever. Waited 3 weeks for someone to come look at the stove no one called to tell me that they were going to buy back the stove because it could not be repaired. I had to call them. Finally got a hold of somebody after three different calls and now they tell me they're going to mail me a check for the cost of the stove and they want me to buy another one with my Lowe's card. Not going to happen. I'm going to go to Home Depot. I am never purchasing anything from Lowe's again. I am done.

First of all, I can't believe that a company this large has this bad of a rating. I am just baffled because you would think that by using large companies like this, you would get the best service, especially when you spend thousands of dollars. Anyway, just don't go through them. In a nutshell, I paid for a generator and waited over 6 months to have it fully installed.
We signed the contract on December 12th 2017. Upon meeting with Jim our "Project Specialist", we were told we would have our generator around February 2018. It didn’t arrive on my property until March 23rd. That entire time, not one person called me to tell me the status of the generator. I called Bart from Lowe's, who was my assigned project manager, 3x and left voicemails and he never once returned my calls. Finally, when I got a hold of Jim after contacting him twice via email and then got a hold of him via phone, is when someone finally called me from the actual installation company.
The lady from the install company was very clear with me that the delay was on Lowe's end and that the generator was NOT in their possession until mid-March. Again, not one person called me to tell me what was going on. After speaking to Jim he stated that the generator WAS in their possession. I am at a loss as to who is at fault but regardless, someone dropped the ball here and it certainly was not me as the paying customer.
Finally, everything was complete in June. Every service person sent out to the home was very professional - we have nothing to complain about that. BUT we had 2 storms since I initially signed the contract on 12/12 and we went without power both times for over 24 hours and needed to stay in a hotel. Can you imagine how frustrating this has been for me with two young children at home?
I honestly thought that by going through Lowe's directly for this large purchase, that I was making the best decision because I didn’t want to get tossed around by other companies. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I expressed my concerns with this entire process to Lowe's Corporate in hopes that this process gets better and no other customer goes through what I have gone through. I got a reply back and they offered me a $300 check. That was on June 7th. I have YET to receive any check. I have contacted BART, which is who I ended up dealing with again after my complaint to corporate, and he has never once answered my emails asking for an update on the check. Can you imagine? This is just embarrassing. Get it together Lowe's. You've lost a customer for life.

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

Windows measure wrong. Too small; big gaps on side. Put corner rounds to hide gaps. Messy job as you can see from picture. Install 16 July and still waiting on corporate to give me an answer. I had 21 taken out and new ones installed in 6 / 1/2 hours 4 guys one was a go-for. Just unbelievable. Have video to document all. Out of the 21 windows only one was done almost perfect and that was the smallest in our bathroom. I requested that all windows should be replaced and new measurements done. Had Atrium Manufacturer come and look at the windows and was told that they were installed improperly, also most not balance. On top of that if the nail for corner rounds hit the window frame all warranty is void.
Really fed up now. Told case worker Sarah that when I come back from our vacation I should have an answer. Either way, if they will not replace them I will go to a small claims court and or have them take them back. Their advertisement if not 100 percent satisfied money back guarantee. As they take them back I have Home Depot install new ones. I will not let them get away with this. We paid almost 10,000.00 dollars for these windows. My advise is stay away from Lowe's, they used to be a good company but not anymore. I must say that the project manager is really trying his best to help me. So we will see what happens!

My issue with the company comes strictly from the Lowe's Service Installer (Service Pro's) that are out of Kingsport or Church Hill, TN. After great customer service from the store in Abingdon, VA we decided to go with the Lowe's Installers to get the job done. The company that they used was Service Pro's and they gave us a date and time to be present (You have to be present) which was a Friday between 9AM-11AM. So they call 30 minutes before their window closes and says that they can't make it and it will be later on in the evening... No time given to me to be home.
The inconvenience of this is huge when you take off of work or burn a vacation day (Or what was supposed to be half a day) for them to say they can't make it. No one wants to lose money when paying for a service. Which is exactly what has happened to us. This directly reflects on Lowe's due to it being Lowe's Installation "experts". Dissatisfied! I've contacted the store and they were going to contact them and let me know something back a couple hours in and I've not heard anything at all... I've called the Lowe's Installation "experts" Service Pro's directly multiple times but just get a voicemail. After calling the store again, Management has made multiple attempts to contact the installers and cannot make contact! I appreciate everything that the Abingdon Store has done to help me but the Installers have given them a black eye on this one.

Visiting in Beavercreek, Ohio with relatives. I needed to replace my parents' flagpole. I went to the Lowe's in Beavercreek. Knowing what I wanted, but not sure of the store's layout, I went straight to Customer Service. Asking the young man there, if they had flagpoles, he went right to his phone, for what reason, I'm not sure, he then said, "No, you have to go online." I ask him where the flags were at, he point to the garden area, and stated, "In that area." I walked about 40 foot in that direction, and there they were, a complete flagpole set, $129.00. I pick it up and walked right back to him, at the Customer Service desk, and stated, "You should know what your store sells, it should be part of your job," and walked away. He shouted out, to have a nice day... RIGHT, I thought...
Walking to the register area, walked past paint department, noticed two fellas there, ask them to speak to a store manager. One boasted, "I'M A MANAGER..." Explained what, I had encountered, that the employee had no idea of what the store sold or offered or understood customer service. He had nothing to say, nothing at all. Not sorry or understanding at all. Having watched Lowe's built in Colorado Springs, I normally enjoy the facility and the staff, when ask upon, very helpful. Well, growing up in Beavercreek, things have sure changed. When kids with no knowledge of professionalism are working in customer service, representing a company of this magnitude, have the ignorance, to yell at a customer, TO HAVE A NICE DAY! because he was a **, and did not have the proper knowledge of what was available in the facility, that employs them, too bad for LOWE'S.
LOWE'S, you should test your staff to ensure they know what your store sells. Well, as long as a phone will help you, why use your BRAIN! Lowe's needs to hire phone geeks, not personnel with hardware knowledge... lol. The flagpole installed easy, my relatives are very happy... The purchase was a joke. BOTH STAFF MEMBERS KNOW WHO THEY ARE... REAL JOKERS. BUT, you got my money... and you can shove it up your ___! POOR SERVICE. Make America great again, fire bad employees.

We contracted with Lowe's to do our kitchen remodel. This started in February 2018 when we selected cabinetry, flooring, countertops, backsplash, appliances and lighting and paid for it all in full. We did a full gut of our kitchen in which everything was removed down to the studs in some areas. The new cabinets and appliances were delivered in mid-March 2018 however, the demo of the kitchen did not begin until mid-April 2018 because the contractor was not available until then. This meant we had to store everything in our garage for over a month preventing us from parking in our garage. Finally when the demo began, everything was torn out of our kitchen leaving us without a working kitchen.
By April 20, 2018 we were without a functioning kitchen. Then the contractor would show up one or two days then we wouldn't see him or his crew for days. Finally, after complaining to Lowe's, the contractor requested a meeting around May 17, 2018. At that time, he advised that he did not have the manpower to return to our job until May 27, 2018 at the earliest. During that meeting I asked if I could find a different contractor on my own to finish the work. I was advised that I could do that and that is what I did. All was running smoothly during the early part of June 2018 until we discovered damage to some of the cabinets I had ordered. However, since we had essentially fired the Lowe's contractor it was clear that Lowe's did not want to have anything to do with us.
The damaged cabinets were reordered which took an additional 4 weeks arriving in mid July 2018. However, the order was not complete! The company failed to replace all the damaged cabinets. I was missing ONE cabinet and one piece of crown molding that was supposed to have been in the July order. So they were ordered AGAIN with an expected arrival date of August 6, 2018. It is now August 8, 2018 and have not received this final shipment. I received a call on August 6, 2018 advising that we had a delivery scheduled for August 7, 2018. Lowe's delivery never showed up! And since I'm out of town for the next week and a half I will not get my delivery until August 20, 2018.
While the delay of these last few items has not prevented me from using the kitchen it is quite frustrating that we are still waiting for the final pieces to finally finish our kitchen because Lowe's delivery just did not show up. This kitchen remodel was expected to take 6-8 weeks. While I know not to believe the estimated time of completion that I'm told, I certainly did not expect this to take nearly 5 months. We were without a functioning kitchen for 8 weeks, which also was not our expectation. I can honestly say that I will NEVER use Lowe's for any type of home repair work or installation. I do not trust them nor do they place customer service as a high priority. They should just get out of the any type of installation or remodeling services because they are clearly not equipped to handle the task. I will never recommend Lowes and will steer people away from ever using their services.

Contracted with Lowe's to replace gutters on my home. The work was shoddy and incomplete. Leaf guards were left off in areas and only partially installed in others.

It was obvious the Lowe's representative had never inspected the installation.

It’s unbelievable that it’s even possible for a company to have a 1 star rating with over 500 reviews - how are these guys still in business? Anyway, steer clear. They just don’t have their act together. I placed a phone order for 4 expensive appliances. I just assumed Lowe’s and Home Depot were pretty much the same, and I had a 10% off Lowe’s coupon, so I ordered from them. The ordering experience was fine, and the rep was friendly. The nightmare began the next day. I got a call from one local store that said they had 2 of the appliances and needed to schedule delivery, but that another store had the other 2. That’s a little strange, and a small inconvenience, but I get it.
I scheduled a delivery date with the first store. Then I get a call from another store with the other two appliances. I set a delivery date with them. Then, I get a call from a third store, that says the second store didn’t have the items, so now they were scheduling the delivery. Ok, really annoying, but I scheduled the delivery again. Then I get a fourth call from that same store, telling me they also don’t have one of the items, and because my order was already transferred once, they don’t have the ability to transfer again, so my only option is to cancel the fridge and reorder it, which will allow them to forward it to a third store that may have it.
This is beyond unacceptable, and Samsung is running a promo where you get a gift card if you buy 4 appliances on the same receipt, so reordering would void that gift card promo. I explain that, and the rep tells me there’s nothing she can do, I have to reorder it or the item will sit in limbo and never get delivered. At that point, I called the corporate 800 number. They told me the fridge was discontinued and unavailable at all (by the way, it’s still available on their website, I just tried to order it to see if it gave an error... nope).
She tells me I can order a different Fridge or just cancel the order. I cancelled the entire order at that point, because I have no more confidence in them. I called Home Depot, placed the EXACT same order, for the exact same price, they honored the 10% Lowe’s coupon as a price match, and they confirmed a delivery date for ALL items, confirmed they are all in stock, and all being delivered from the same place. Needless to say, Lowe’s and Home Depot are nowhere near the same... Don’t get suckered by a coupon like I did! Just show Home Depot and they’ll honor it and give you much better service.

I called customer service on 7/10/18 due to Lowe’s putting me on the incorrect promotion. I was given 6 months with 0% interest when it should have been 36 months with 3.99%. The installer, Zack, is deplorable and never reaches out to provide ETAs of his workers, himself or updates impacting the job. The supplies for my initial 7/19/18 installation were not delivered, a 2nd date, 7/31/18 was provided. My fence was left unfinished. The sales associate, Jeffrey/Alex + an additional person (Sam I believe) saw the unfinished product (I have pictures).
Additionally, I asked for a full fence and was only given 3/4. I gladly paid $2,500 on my debit and the rest on my Lowe's card for a completed job. Because Sam and Jeffrey/Alex agreed with me they discounted the updated job. I spoke to Anthony today who rudely said that he doesn't see where I have been inconvenienced and advised my new supplies will be delivered 8/21/18 for a 8/23/18 job. I have to be home so the installers have access to a power supply, I am a full time working, single parent and have to take off to do this. This is ridiculous. If it isn't resolved, I will be going to my local media outlets and federal/state/local regulators.

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

The delivery service calls (very early) the scheduled delivery morning and informs me that there were "errors" on my form and it needed to be filled out again over the phone with them.
So I proceeded to give the delivery service all the information I had already filled out on Lowe's online form previously and the driver said he needed to transfer my call to the head cashier so she could take my credit card information (which I had already provided online). The call gets cut off in the transfer process. I call Customer Service, and the first thing they ask for is the order number! (Wasn't that data in their online system?) I then had provide all the information I had already filled in online, and this morning, to the delivery driver, AGAIN.

I had an existing Central Air unit, Within the last 3 years I had the outdoor unit replaced, the upstairs unit was older.

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

My husband scheduled the appointment for the Field Representative - Mr. ** to come out to our home to discuss measurements, fencing type, and pricing/financing. He came out and began outside to measure the yard - from the location that we desired to have the fence and he drew a sketch of the home and his measurements for the fencing company that Lowe's contracts to complete the build (NC Fencing Company) - whom today I was unable to even locate via Google...
We went over the details of the contract and financing options. Included in the contract was a clearing and hauling fee, which was to cover a 4 foot clearing minus large trees or the rear border of the property. It was understood that one payment may be made on the fence prior to the installation and we were ok with that. We were advised that the build would take place around the 1st week of July; however, the fencing company advised that was not available. May I mention... the communication between Lowe's and their contractors is very poor. The fencing company advised that our build would take place on July 20th and that Lowe's would be delivering the materials for the build 48 hours prior (July 18th). I took off work to ensure I was available on the 18th for the delivery, and nothing ever came.
We assumed that the build had been postponed since we had not heard from the fencing company nor Lowe's regarding our fence. On the morning of July 20th, I was awakened at the wee hours of the morning by the doorbell, as Lowe's was delivering the fence materials... unannounced. Later that morning, the fencing company arrived for the build. The fencing company was supposed to arrive between 8 am and 10 am per Lowe's; however, they did not arrive until closer to noon. Upon arrival, there were 2 guys in the truck. I immediately began to wonder how these two guys were going to clear our property and build the fence alone with very little equipment and obvious manpower. The young man driving the truck - who looked as if he was in high school - greeted me and came out to take a look at the materials and property.
He immediately told me that there was not enough materials for the build and that they needed to return on the following morning to build the fence. I asked if there was enough material to BEGIN the build due to a very busy day I was going to have starting the following morning. He said that he would contact Lowe's for additional materials but that they were not going to be clearing the property, as we had included in our contract. I contacted my husband who got off work to come home and assist with any clearing that was needed for the fence to go on up and also contacted Mr. ** to come out and assist with the miscommunication between Lowe's and the fencing company. My husband came home and cut down 3 trees in the rear of the property per the fencing company's request... so that the fence could go behind the tree's locations.
Mr. ** came and walked the property with the fencing company to confirm the location of the fence and he also advised that the clearing would be done to include all underbrush and haul away. Once Mr. ** left and the fencing company got to work, they neglected to complete the clearing and place the fence IN FRONT OF the location where my husband got off of work to come cut down the trees from. We contacted Mr. ** again and advised of the issue. There was not much that could be done, as the fence posts were already set in concrete. Mr. ** called me with one of the store managers from the Dave Lyle, Rock Hill, SC location - and advised that they apologized about the mix up and would do what was needed to make things right - included removing the clearing fee from my bill and giving me an additional amount off for the inconvenience - as well as a gift card.
After the call, the fencing company advised that they still did not have enough materials to complete the fence and that Mr. ** advised that he would bring the remaining materials on the back of his truck. Hours passed and there was no Mr. **. The fencing company had to leave and advised that we would likely have to call several times and stay on the company before the remaining fence would be completed... that it could take several days. They left our home and the fence was incomplete on the left side of the property (facing from the main road). I really wanted to confirm when the remaining fence would be put up and again contacted Mr. **. He said that he would contact the manager of the fencing company and confirm. Needless to say, the fencing company came back out the following week and finished the fence INCORRECTLY.
They ended the fence with a window that I wanted inside the fence on the outside. They did not follow the measurements that Mr. ** had entered on his sketch. When we contacted Mr. ** about this, he advised that we needed to take another look at the sketch, as if we were wrong, and that he would come by and re-measure. It came to be that Mr. ** drew the window on the sketch in the wrong location (outside of the fence), but the measurement, which encompassed the materials we are paying for, placed the window on the inside of the fence. We have been calling Mr. **, the store, the fencing company, corporate, and anyone else you can think of to have our fence corrected and our bill corrected.
As of today, we have materials sitting in our driveway, we have left messages, been hung up on, been advised that Mr. ** is on vacation until next week, and are now preparing to drive to the store and hopefully sit in a manager's office until this is corrected. This has been a terrible experience for me. My first time entrusting a company to assist with home improvement has proven that customer service is at the bottom of Lowe's list. Lowe's does not provide the best customer experience as promised, and I wish I had listened to my neighbors and gone with a different option. Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and this word of mouth will be as powerful as I can make it to discourage other people from selecting Lowe's for their home improvement. I will not stop until we are compensated for this terrible experience and an incorrect fence. Thinking Lowe's? Think again!!!

I’ve been buying material from Lowe’s for many years and never been dissatisfied with their service. We recently had a complete roofing job on our house performed by a Lowe’s contractor and it was absolutely terrible. The roofing job was done poorly. There was damage to siding. There were nails left all over the yard and our neighbor's yard. I had to buy a magnet and have cleaned up hundreds of nails. Lowes contracting manager came out and took a look at it, but she admitted she knew nothing about roofing.
We asked that their roofing expert come out and take a look at it and he never showed up. The contractor refused to acknowledge that any of the damage to the house was his fault and that he had done as good a job as he could. We have vinyl siding on the house and he attempted to repair some of the vinyl siding by driving nails through the face of the vinyl siding, thereby ruining the siding. I hired a certified home Inspector to do an inspection and he agreed that the roofing was poorly done and that the damage was unacceptable. I told Lowe’s contractor manager that I would accept them repairing the damaged siding, but I have received no response. I will never use Lowe’s again.

All I can say, "WHAT A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE". This has been the worse experience in dealing with a large retail store, whom we thought was trustworthy and competent. I couldn't have been more mistaken. They were to install a tub and surround and couldn't even do that right. One mistake after another. Measured the tub wrong, installed a toilet that has been leaking since December, and can't fix it! We are ready to fly to Tennessee to get this done for my boyfriend's 80 year old mother! We went to Lowe's because we were leaving town, she just lost her husband, and WE wanted to make her feel better by re-doing her tub/surround after losing her husband of 60 years. She is so stressed out and getting sick over this horrible three month project that was suppose to take 2 days-she didn't even have a toilet for a few days. She only has one bathroom and Lowe's didn't care that she didn't even have a toilet!
Beyond my comprehension that none of the 7 people we talked to (complete runaround! For 3 months now) even cared at all! I even talked to a District Manager who acted like she cared, but never called me back or sent someone out there to fix the toilet. I called the General Contractor directly to fix the toilet -- they told me they have a 24 hour protocol -- she had to have a toilet now, not 24 hours from now. Supposedly they hired a license GC, but they can't produce their GC license to me-I've asked at least 3 people to provide their license, but they told me I could call them directly. Does anyone out there know what I can do to resolve this???? The delivery dates are all a LIE! The new tub/surround was suppose to be delivered 3 days ago, but we haven't heard from anyone.
We live in another state, but we are ready to fly out there to help his mom get through this. She doesn't drive or have any support where she lives in a small town. So, so sad. It angers me because NO ONE CARES! So sad to put an elderly woman who is grieving to go through this. Also, it cost more than $4,500! They charged us for a dumpster they never brought to the property, and other charges that were never done -- they told me those are "standard" charges even if they aren't used. What???? Who does that? The people they sent didn't even have a business card! Professionals???

Purchased a Husqvarna HGT 26 HP V-Twin Kohler 54 inch mower model # 96045004 5/16/2016 from Lowe's of Marion, NC. The warranty on the frame was/is for 3 years. At the 2 year mark the frame broke. In the two years I had wheels break and I replaced them on my own. I had discussed the frame break with the department manager as well as the assistant manager at the Marion, NC store and the folks at the customer service desk. ALL Lowe's personnel agreed the frame was under the warranty and would be fixed or replaced. When I took the mower into Lowe's so they would honor the warranty on the frame they apparently had/have a repair shop who picks up repairs on Thursdays.
Having picked up the mower I was contacted approximately a week later. The repair man or spokesperson iterated that the frame was literally broken in half. The gentleman informed me that the repair would cost $1402.00. I asked about the warranty that the mower had with it stating the frame and ALL factory parts were warranted for 3 years. He stated that because the mower had been abused and the frame would NOT be covered under the warranty. What? A flat to 1% grade of slope for your yard...How in the world can that be abuse? Realizing that I was obviously speaking to the wrong person, I asked to speak with someone else. I was hung up on. I did eventually get hold of someone else but to NO avail.
I suggested they just send my mower back to me. They were shocked that I wanted it back. I told them that I would still be able to use it and I would later use it for parts. I was told by the repair gentleman that they would send the mower back to the Marion Lowe's and that the store would contact me. After 3 weeks I contacted the repair folks again and they informed me that they could not find the mower that I sent in for repair. It has been nearly two months now and I still haven't heard from the store. I've gone in the store a couple of times but the machine is NOT there. The customer service folks at the Marion, NC store have said they would follow-up. I don't know what they are following up on because it's NOT happening. My recommendation: DO NOT Purchase a Husqvarna riding mower from ANY LOWE'S store. I have seen numerous accounts where a Husqvarna frame has broken in half by reviews on the internet. NOT a reliable product.

They do not answer our phone calls, emails, etc. They are really good at "passing the buck" to the General Contractor, or stating they are not responsible for the tub replacement. Then, they put plastic around the tub so our mother, who is 80 years old could take a shower, but forgot to put a shower curtain up while they wait for the parts that were ordered wrong. I have more to say about this, but you wouldn't even believe the lack of concern by Lowe's.

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

So we went to purchase the cooktop and pay the price for the adjustment and the surprise was that Lowe’s said they the product was discontinued. I asked them why they did the measurements if they knew the item was discontinued - and there was no answer so I asked to be reimbursed for the measurements if it was done for nothing and they refused.

We ordered 4 appliances online during the July 4th, 2018 sale. We were delighted to receive a call 2 days later telling us delivery would be the next day. After emptying the fridge and cleaning it, the drivers arrived with 2 of the 4 appliances. They told me the fridge and dishwasher were coming from another store. Obviously, no one bothered to mention that when they scheduled our delivery.
Then they refused to remove the appliances (stove and microwave) until WE disconnected them. There is absolutely no mention that they would not disconnect appliances when you select the "Haul Away" option for which you are charged $20 per item. Unless you purchase installation - which you have to do separately by filling out an online form and then you still have to go into the store to sign a contract (told to me by Lowe's customer service) your new appliances will be sitting in the middle of the floor, unusable, until someone installs them and there is no guarantee when they will show up.
Then Lowe's (again no communication about it) says they are going to hold up the refrigerator delivery until the dishwasher is available. After much arguing, they finally agreed to bring the refrigerator before the dishwasher. It came from the Clearwater store. We live in Lutz and our Lowe's is 5 min away (where the stove and microwave came from). None of this makes sense to me and most of all, not informing us was ridiculous.
We finally had the dishwasher delivered today. Again, paid for removal but he wouldn't touch it until it was disconnected. Since it had been almost 4 weeks, we forgot about that or we could have been prepared. My advice is if you order online, ask lots of questions before or during the process! Make sure to find out if the order is being delivered completely, how you arrange for installation, if you have to disconnect anything, etc. They aren't going to be offering any information! We wanted to be thrilled about our new kitchen!

So, since it was a good deal and what we were looking for we purchased it using our debit card.

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

Jacob used bowed tiles then blamed the tiles for the 1/2 inch issue. I asked why he put the tiles on the wall if he knew they were bowed, he said because that’s what Lowe’s sent. They must have sent the worst of their stock! We had to pay in full about two months prior to the job, almost a year ago. When first job was done wrong they sent same company to do it over. Then when they continued to do poor job I was told by Steve ** said Jacob wouldn’t get paid till it was complete! It’s not complete but I’m guessing he still got paid.
Now 2 months since end of the second attempt they had Jacob call me again to come see what he can do. I don’t want him back in my home. He broke my home security camera after telling me he dropped it in the sink but I watched the video and he pulled it out of the wall when he saw what it was! Grout lines don’t match, measured room and both sides are the same. Bottom of tiles wall if poor as well. I can’t get management to call me, I can’t get 3rd party to inspect for me and I’m ready for a lawyer!

WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER! We bought a stove from the Lowe's in Dale City, and it was delivered with two huge dents on the side. The guys told me the moment they noticed and said that I needed to call the store to get a 20% discount. So I let them go ahead and remove my old stove to install the new dented one. When I tried to call the store I was told that they would transfer me to the delivery department. The transfer didn't work, so I was transferred back to customer service who attempted again. The second time it didn't work and I was transferred back to customer service. This time she tried transferring me again and ended up hanging up on me. I tried calling back and the store never answered.
I waited five hours and called back. I was told that the delivery department was closed and that I would be transferred to a manager. At that point it rang and rang and rang, to then be hung up on again. I called back and asked to speak directly to a manager. The guy who answered the call gave me a hard time for wanting to speak with the manager. He then transferred me to a manager but come to find out, it was the corporate dispatch office. I explained what happened and she said that she was not able to help because I needed to speak with the store directly. She was kind enough to keep me on the line until I reached a manager.
At that point the manager told me she would take $80 (less than 10% off the original price) off the stove or deliver a new one which requires another day off work. I explained the discussion with the deliver guys, who she said cannot give that kind of information out. I then explained that I needed to know the time to see if I could take off work. She said that she's not able to give out delivery times but I would know sometime the night before the delivery. Overall this was the absolute worst customer experience I have ever had. I thought a store like Lowe's would treat its customers better, considering the number of high priced purchases I have made there. I am extremely disappointed and would NEVER recommend this store or any other Lowe's stores now to anyone.

As if it is not stressful enough moving across another state but walking into a new home that you just paid someone to paint the base boards and the walls and doors and Lowe's comes in to install the carpet and they scratch off paint from the base boards/walls and then leave an absolute mess in the garage from all the carpet pieces. If you want your house destroyed then go to Lowe's and they messed up the whole dates it was supposed to be done too. A Lowe's person told my realtor that since we paid someone to rip out old carpet then they would discount it from the price then they never did it. They said, "Oh no that is all part of the package" so we paid 2 people Lowe's and another person to rip out the carpets.

Having shopped at Lowe's Atlanta-Edgewood store for many years, I was very disappointed with the customer service I received through Lowe's and Lowe's third-party delivery company. On 6/14/18 I purchased a Bosch dishwasher, dishwasher accessories, and the delivery service totaling $624.97 plus tax. The salesperson let me know that the dishwasher should arrive on 6/30/18. 6/30 came and went. No dishwasher. No courtesy phone call from Lowe's to let me know there's been a delay. 7/2 came and went. No dishwasher. No courtesy phone call from Lowe's to let me know there's been a delay. 7/11 Finally I get a call from Jeffrey (cell #**) from the 3rd party delivery company. Scheduled delivery date: 7/14 between 1-3 p.m.
7/14 came and went. No delivery. No courtesy call from Jeffrey saying he would not be making the delivery. I had to call him to reschedule. New scheduled delivery date: 7/17 between 3-5 p.m. 7/17 came and went. No delivery. No courtesy call from Jeffrey saying he would not be making the delivery. So I called him to cancel the delivery. He didn't seem at all concerned and he didn't give me the impression that he even remembered that he had a dishwasher to deliver.
As soon as I ended the call with Jeffrey, I called the Lowe's store where I purchased the dishwasher to cancel the order. The customer service rep was polite but she did not know how to cancel the order over the phone. It was clear that she was getting assistance from the manager but it was also clear that the manager had no interest in completing the cancellation herself. The whole time I was expecting someone to ask me why I was cancelling the order. Nothing.
I cleared two afternoons for Lowe's and their 3rd party delivery service to come and install my dishwasher and not even an apology when the deal fell through. Nothing. Would I recommend Lowe's to someone else in the future? ABSOLUTELY NOT. If I had to rate the customer care I received on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Lowe's a zero. Will I be going across town to your competitor to get the dishwasher I ordered over a month ago from Lowe's? I can guarantee it!

DO NOT USE THEIR PICK-UP SERVICE EVER!!! I ordered some items on their website and 'paid' for the items, which was confirmed at my bank. When I picked up my items I was required to "PAY" for the items. I showed the guy that it was showing paid already. He said Lowe's just puts orders in 'pending' status with the bank to make sure you have the funds and when you come in to pick-up the items you are officially charged... So basically I had to pay for the items "AGAIN"!! It is taking me 'days' to (try) and get the charges removed from my account...which the items were not cheap. So currently I'm OUT my funds until Lowe's and my bank figure this out, since according to my bank Lowe's order cancel documentation has NOT reached my bank to 'release' the pending status. So basically my family's food and gas money is being held hostage.

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

This was the worst experience I've ever encountered! I ordered several outdoor items [dining table, outdoor carpet and several pillows] online in early June. Since the website indicated that direct shipping was not an option, I chose the Lowe's delivery option as my car is not large enough to accommodate the size of the table I ordered. I received a confirmation that said my order would not be delivered until 6/27/18 because one of the pillows was a 'special order'. I received a call the evening before delivery stating they would be in touch with me the morning of the 27th with a two-hour window. I received a call on the 27th stating my items would not be delivered because there was a 'problem' with my payment. No further information was provided. Just a thought: shouldn't you confirm the payment for each order before you contact the customer to arrange delivery??
I then spent the next hour and 45 minutes trying to figure out why my payment was not accepted. I spoke to a number of different individuals at the customer service number for online orders. Not one person was helpful. They insisted this was my issue and that I should contact my bank. I contacted my bank who confirmed there was no problem with my payment and, in fact, it did not appear that Lowe's even attempted to run my card information. I conferenced with my bank and Lowe's who ran my debit card information two more times and kept telling me it did not go through.
After continuously being placed on hold for what seemed like an eternity, I finally spoke to a Lowe's 'manager' [Dominick] who handled the online purchases who didn't seem to care at all. He basically said there was nothing he could do and transferred me to their online sales department. The woman I spoke to did not even know how to resolve my issue, but she did try. She again tried to run my debit card information to no avail. I spoke to my bank yet again who conferenced with the Lowe's representative who told this woman that it was an issue on Lowe's end because nothing was transmitting through to them.
I was eventually transferred to the Carlisle, PA store who re-entered my order and surprise, my payment was accepted with no issue! The only problem was that I now had not one, but TWO active orders because the woman in the sales department failed to tell me doing so would be like starting from scratch. The sales person at the Carlisle PA store [Diane] was somewhat helpful, however, it was not until after I demanded that the first order be cancelled and all of my items be delivered the next day. Ultimately, I did receive all of my items, however, I will never ever place an online order through Lowe's again. This was an awful customer experience that I would not wish on anyone.
Lowe's-- you need to go back to the basics-- proper customer service training for your employees at every level of your organization. A customer should never be made to feel like they are an inconvenience and your employees should be educated so they know how to handle these situations. It was very obvious that no one knew what they were doing and they certainly had no empathy for what I had to go through to get the items I paid for. As a long-time in store customer of Lowe's, I was appalled at the treatment I received with this online order.

We contracted with Lowe's in Baltimore to have them install a new kitchen ($65k). The first week they sent 4 guys out to get started. The next week, and subsequent weeks, they sent ONE guy to finish the job. It took 6 months. We were pissed. A couple of years go by, as well as a move to Columbus, Ohio, and we needed another new kitchen. We liked the cabinets that Lowe's sells (Schuler) so we went to look. Their salesperson sounded very good and, after relating our Baltimore story, she assured us that she was an advocate for her buyers. That turns out to not be the case at all. Rather than working for her buyers, she, clearly, is a tool for the contractor that they use. They required payment in-full (Yes, you read that right... IN-FULL) upfront. We balked a little but decided to go with it.
As it turns out, the reason that they require payment in-full upfront is take away any and all leverage that their customers would have when it came to the contractor actually showing up to work. It has been almost 7 weeks since they got our $50k+ payment and not a single finger has been lifted by them to do anything in this house. Nothing. We removed our existing kitchen 6 weeks ago and haven't had one since.
Their policy is that they won't lift a finger to start ANY work on the kitchen until 100% of the products needed to finish the job are on-site and in our home. There is painting that should be done first (Prior to cabinet install), electrical work, plumbing work, removal of a doorway, 2 other door frames that need removed, a window installed, and a new floor installed but they refuse to lift a finger to do ANY of those until the end of July (2 days before we leave on a vacation that has been scheduled for MONTHS). That is when they want to start. They want us to give their contractor access to our home (these are people that we do not know) to allow them to come and go when we are gone. Unbelievable.
I gave them an ultimatum: Start work on our home before the end of the week of July 16-20th or we were going to cancel. This morning, I got a call from their "project coordinator" to tell me that they won't be doing that. Essentially, she was telling me that they start it when they are good and fricken' ready. If YOU are looking for a new kitchen, DO NOT deal with or buy it from Lowe's. 2 different store locations, BOTH were bad service situations. Save your hard-earned money and go with a kitchen company that gives a damn about YOU, the customer. Not one that kowtows to their contractor.

Lowes Anchorage Tikatnu - Incorrect information regarding delivery policy. Poor communication regarding delivery. Poor customer service overall from manager, delivery staff and appliance staff (telephone). On June 28, 2018, I purchased a new refrigerator. When asked whether we would have pick up or delivery, I told the salesperson that my husband was disabled and we had a stairlift in our entrance where the delivery would need to be made. I told the salesperson that the refrigerator would have to be lifted over the chair portion and then carried up the stairs. The salesperson assured me that Lowe's would work with us on the delivery. I then proceeded to request the delivery and removal of our old appliance.
The refrigerator was not in stock but was scheduled to arrive on July 9th. On July 13th I had not been contacted and the online status did not reflect anything but the original purchase information. I called the store and after being transferred twice, an employee answered the phone, curtly asked my telephone number, stated that delivery would be the next day. When I asked why I wasn't contacted, he stated "I have no idea' and hung up on me. Then next day, I received a call at 10:44am stating delivery was delayed and wouldn't arrive until 5-6pm. The person who called was apologetic.
At 2:36pm I received a call from the delivery person who stated they were on their way and would arrive in 20 minutes. When they arrived, an older gentleman looked at our entry way and said "this is not going to happen". I asked why and he stated they did not have room to deliver because of our stairlift. I asked if the stairlift instructions were in his paperwork and he said it was. I told him that I had been assured when I purchased the refrigerator that the delivery staff would work with us. He asked who told me that and I told him the salesperson. He stated the salesperson was incorrect and did not ask the right questions.
When I asked him what my options were he said it was up to me, they could leave it at the door or take it back to the store. When I asked why they could not lift over the chair and even offered to remove the hand rails, he was firm that they do not lift anything. I told him I had measured and the refrigerator would fit up the stairs but needed to be lifted.
I offered to have my sons assist and he again said, "No, we can't do that." They had a hand truck and that's how they deliver. My son took a look at the refrigerator in the truck and they had no lifting straps in their truck. At that point, I again asked what I was supposed to do. He said he'd call and speak to the store manager. He called the store, told them I was upset and that he could not deliver. He then told me that I would need to contact the store manager, Kevin. He then took photos of our stairway. I asked whether he was going to call me and he said 'no ma'am - you need to call or go to the store and talk to him'.
At that point, I refused delivery. I then went to the store and spoke to Kevin. After I introduced myself to him, he offered no apology, no options for this situation. At that point, I told him how unprofessional I felt this was handled and his only comment was "OK". At that point I requested a refund - his only response was "OK I'll get someone to help you" and then walked away.
There was only one customer service clerk at the counter. He then returned and stated another customer service clerk would be available shortly and walked away. Again, no attempts to assist me in resolving the situation. The customer service clerk was friendly and thanked me when, being an honest person, I caught her attempting to refund me other materials on my receipt. Needless to say, if there had been any kind of attempt to work with us to resolve the situation or even apologize, I would not be writing this review.

Just had the most horrific experience at @Lowe's. We bought a scratch and dent dryer. Very minimal visible damage. Just two tiny scuffs and small dent. I asked the clerk to plug it in before taking it home. Was told they don't have a 220 outlet in store, but dryer is fine. This was LG model DLE3170W. After wrestling this behemoth out of the car, up a couple of steps And ledges, uninstalling the old dryer and hauling it to the side of the road, installing the 220 cord and vent ducts we turned it on. Sounds like rocks clunking around inside. **
More backbreaking labor. Uninstalled everything, hauled it back downstairs and over ledges. Eventually got it back in the car. Was much easier with two guys helping back at @Lowe's. This completely wiped me out. And I was livid. Of course @Lowe's gave us a refund. I told them that after messing around with this for 2 1/2 hours and total exhaustion we still don't have a dryer. I suggested that after all this they owe us a brand new model with delivery and install. I already took care of that once. @Lowe's, after talking to 2 managers, now wants to charge us an additional $162. I told my husband no-go, but he wants the dryer.
Only recourse I have is to return everything we bought at @Lowe's over the last month. This includes a Weber Charcoal Grill and chimney starter. Grand total? $164 And they won't be able to resell these used items. We will never know if this dryer is any good new out of the box, but my BTW. We bought a dishwasher from them years ago and it was a disaster. You are better off researching local independent dealers.

I called Lowe's Point of Contact Victor ** and he called the contractor and had them send two guys out and there was one corner unit that wouldn't fit thru the door so they took off the back door instead of just taking the pins out. They unscrewed the hinges and the door hasn't closed right since it happened. So all they did was put the corner piece in the house and left. No one ✔ the other boxes and left them piled up in my kitchen and living room. So that we this was a Tuesday and we lost heat, power, electric.

We lost power Friday. Note I called and called and finally on Monday Victor ** called and I told him what happened. He said "Mark the contractor and his brother Matt had a family they had to take care of." I am sure they had generators and their families were better taken care of than mine.
Mark the contractor finally called in the following Wednesday that he would be out on Thursday as he was ordering his coffee at DD while flirting with the server. So I confirm I had to go to take my grandson to school and I would be back at 830 and he assured me he would be there at 8. I asked him to, "Please call me if you're gonna be late.

I told them to go into their cash office and they refused to give me my money back. I talk to so many people. Either no will help you or they don't know what to do. The CPO are not competent to run a business from another state. So finally a lady called me. Nicole. I told her what happened and she asked to listen. Her husband works for Lowe's as a carpenter and she assured me he could do the job. I hemmed and hawed and said ok. She told me they couldn't fit me in till April 2nd 2018. I took it because of carpentry and his wife Nicole listen. Didn't treat me like dirt.
Lowe's treats you like **. They don't listen so they started and came to look inside the boxes so 8 pieces damages and they were at that 42 days unopened. In and around my home cabinets wrong size. The designer Jim ** did his job great too! So then they reorder cabinets and I got damaged ones so I had so many damage or not acceptable drawer front cabinets. I must of had 32 drawer fronts, 3 corner doors, two cabinets and then my countertop. I was told the seam is so noticeable because the gentleman that came he states in "his professional opinion because the counter is so white it will show up."

We designed and purchased a 4x8 en suite bathroom remodel in late-Feb'18, to start mid-Apr'18. Materials were delivered, contractor arrived to start and found shower base was cracked. Lowe's-Piscataway NJ store said that they were re-ordering base, on rush, that date (4-18-18). Lowe's store and install office claimed it was ordered and set for delivery in 2-3 weeks. Later learned that it was not ordered until 5-2-18, then delivered to us Fri 5-25-18.
The install finally began the following week; the green board went up and the shower base was installed, including plumbing (which was accessed thru our foyer ceiling) but the base did not meet the walls, leaving a gap for the solid surface walls of the shower enclosure. Contractor and Lowe's at first claimed this was as it was supposed to be; we were told to "trust us to do our job". They suggested different ways to make-shift the space to work.
We then contacted the manufacturer, provided pics and measurements, and were advised it was unsound to proceed. Manufacturer guidelines were to re-measure, re-order and begin again. Lowe's and contractor delayed and evaded our communications. Finally, space was re-measured 10 am 6-25-18, and measurements were called to Lowe's-Piscataway to re-order. At 4 pm we were told it was not yet ordered and "emails were exchanged on this" [with manufacturer], and it would be handled.
At 5 pm this same day 6-25-18, we went to store, met with sales associate and Store Mgr, who agreed to complete order. We waited in store for written confirmation. On review of order, we noted that the width was correct, but depth was 1/2" short, per contractor specs. Lowe's faxed manufacturer to adjust this dimension. Papers stated estimated deliver to Lowe's store 7-16-18.
Given all complications to date, on Fri 7-13-18, we called manufacturer to check the status of the order and were advised item never went to production and order was on hold. Manufacturer notified Lowe's store and CPO on 6-28-18 that to adjust dimensions would effect pricing, so they simply needed to cancel that PO and re-submit with new dimensions as a new PO. They provided me with date/contact/mode of eight additional contacts 6-28 thru 7-12-18, requesting Lowe's confirm the change or cancel the order. We called CPO who verified that our CPO rep contact the Lowe's store Project rep and confirmed need to correct order and issue a new PO, but nothing was done. Still awaiting resolution...

She assured us she would have someone call us back. But of course we never heard from anyone!!! We called the store several more times and we were assured by Derek, Weldon and Jacob that the situation was being handled. But of course nothing was being done. We called the 800 number for Lowe’s customer care and spoke to a young man on Tuesday July 3, 2018. He took all the information and assured us we would be getting a call from a mgmt. team within 24 hrs. Surprise, surprise AGAIN we never heard from anyone.
We spoke to Derek and Jacob at the Carrollton store and both told us they would pick up the bad ref today July 12, 2018. When I spoke to Derek an hour ago he said he did not think he could get it picked up today. I spoke to a young lady at the 800 number (she would not give me her name). She was far from helpful and pretty much said I would have to live with not getting it picked up today Totally unacceptable. I then spoke to Corina a supervisor at Lowe’s corporate. She called the Carrollton store and spoke to another asst mgr named Carolyn. I am supposed to get a call from Carolyn between 2 and 4 today to let me know if she could help. I’m not holding my breath that I will get a call judging from the previous track record of callbacks. Nor do I expect Lowe’s to live up to their promise to have the ref picked up today.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I ordered a washer/dryer set online and received a confirmation of purchase and delivery. Two days later, I received a call from Lowe's - somehow, half of my delivery was cancelled and could not be fulfilled for another month in the middle of a workday. There was no apology - in fact, I was transferred to someone who INSISTED that I was the one who had cancelled my delivery. I explained my situation - I started work in two weeks and I just moved - I really needed the washer/dryer. I was then transferred to a salesman who basically told me I was an idiot and I should just order something else instead of trying to get what I paid for. I explained that we'd researched the available products and I didn't want the other sets he was trying to sell me. I cancelled the order. He was apathetic and sarcastically told me to have a nice day.
I found another set I would be happy with. I decided this time to go into the store - I thought it would be a different experience. The associate was nice. She confirmed the set was in stock and scheduled a delivery. Surprise surprise - they attempted to deliver it a day early (I was at work). I called customer service and was told I'd have to reschedule delivery. I explained that I did but the delivery came a day early. She argued with me until I found the confirmation. I was then told that there's no real way to guarantee a scheduled delivery. I said that was ridiculous and referenced their website which GUARANTEES scheduled deliveries within a certain time frame. She proceeded to explain to me how the Lowe's IT system works and how this was some kind of IT issue.
I was forced the accept a much later delivery date. I must have spoken with at least 10 different customer service reps and almost every single one of them had an attitude, treated me like I was an idiot and/or expressed that this was somehow my fault. I've worked in customer service for years. I'm not a difficult person and it takes a lot for me to get upset, even when something goes wrong. I cannot believe I was treated this way by so many different people. I was spending close to $2000 and they treated me like I was complaining about a $20 purchase. This was the worst customer service experience of my life.

The staff at the store is great but I would never use one of their contractor to install anything on our property ever again. I recently purchased a fence and the contractor was suppose to come on a Tuesday. They canceled because their truck broke down. They promised to come on Friday. We waited all morning and no one showed. We didn’t receive a phone call or anything. We contacted the store and they called the contractor. They stated they were held up at another job and would be there soon. They never came. Monday rolls around and two of the workers show up without tools. They stated a third guy should be here with the tools. They call the guy who stated he cannot arrive for two hours. They asked us if we have tools. My brother told them no. They drive to Lowe’s to buy the tools.
They finally start setting up the fence by the afternoon. 4:00 rolls around and they state they have to leave but will be back in the morning. Fence is not even half completed and we aren’t fencing in a large area. Morning has come and gone. So far no one has arrived. No phone calls and fence still not done. Called Lowe’s and manager stated they were at our house but no one was here. We have been home all day and no one showed. Manager now states they will be here tomorrow. NOT HAPPY!

I recently purchased an LG Instaview Refrigerator, Stove, Microwave and Dishwasher. From the very beginning this entire process was a nightmare. Couldn’t seem to get my order straight at the store. After countless hours of going back and forth from the register to the service desk I finally thought everything was resolved. I received a call that my delivery was coming on July 6th. My delivery came with everything except the stove that apparently was never ordered because I was accused of not paying for it when I clearly had a receipt to disprove that.
The Lowe’s employees began to carry my refrigerator in. Upon doing so they destroyed everything in their path. I have huge chunks of drywall missing in my entire entryway, chunks out of my baseboards and scratches all over my walls. When they got the refrigerator to my kitchen it was destroyed. Dents and scratches all over it. No apologies from the workers in fact they couldn’t get out of my house quick enough. As far as the install in the dishwasher...it was installed and ran with all the plastic and styrofoam still inside. Also, a big purple tab was inside that said remove before running. Apparently that didn’t matter to the installer.
I paid for installation for the microwave but the installer decided he couldn’t get my old one out so he left the new one laying on my kitchen floor and only put one bolt back in the old one. So my microwave was hanging by one bolt. He also proceeded to tell me that he doesn’t make any money doing these installs so he doesn’t really care about the work that he does. That was quite obvious. I am beyond livid and totally disgusted with the terrible customer service that I received at Lowe’s. I’m not one to write bad reviews but after this experience I want to warn everyone about the incompetence and carelessness of Lowe’s employees.

My husband is a disabled veteran that has served 5 tours in the Middle East during the Iraqi War. We moved in May of 2018 and needed a fence installed at our new home in Sarasota. I received fence quotes from 5 companies before I spoke with the Lowe's on Central Sarasota Parkway. All of the other companies realized we needed a permit for a fence in Sarasota and included that in their quote. When I spoke to Lowe's, I neglected to ask about the permit because after speaking to all the other fence companies I was just assuming their quote included the permit. (My bad, I know but are they not a professional fence installation company?) I chose Lowe's because with my husband’s Veteran’s Discount Lowe's was about $150 less than the other quote we were considering.
On May 24th, I paid for the fence in full for a “Contract Total” of $2,370.80. I checked online a few times to see if the permit was applied for. After a couple of weeks and not seeing anything, I called the store. A woman named Nancy is the person I spoke to. Nancy seems nice enough but she is utterly incompetent. Nancy was unaware that a permit was required in Sarasota, the same city her store is located in, and had to “check” although I assured her a permit absolutely was required. From start to finish, it took 4 WEEKS for Lowe's to apply for a permit with the City of Sarasota.
I was told by Nancy that I would have to pay for the permit. I asked several times and was told that she did not know how much the permit would be. After looking at my contract, NOWHERE on that contract does it state that the cost of any shortage of materials (or permit costs) in the contract price agreed upon by Lowe's would be borne by the customer. On June 26th, I saw on the Sarasota permit website that the permit had been approved. Another 4 days went by before Lowe's picked up that permit. The entire time I was being told by Nancy that the permit was not approved although I could clearly see the approval online.
This is FIVE weeks that were wasted by Lowe's and the sheer incompetence of their employees. My fence install was finally scheduled for July 5th. Late in the day on July 3rd, I received a call from Nancy saying the permit was $320 and I would have to pay it before my fence was installed. I said I would absolutely not pay that extra amount based upon the fact that it was Lowe's omission and the fact that Lowe's had already wasted 5 weeks of my time. She called back and said that Lowe's would cover 1/2 the permit cost but I would still need to pay the $160.
Now, I could have paid $150 more at the onset, gone with the other company that was slightly higher but knew I needed a permit and had my fence installed over a month ago. I chose Lowe's purely because of the Veteran’s Discount. I did speak to my attorney about this that evening and he clearly stated that if the contract price is $2370.80 and there is no additional language to support Lowe's claim then they cannot force me to pay that $320 due to their error. Long story short, I spent over an hour on the phone last night with the Lowe's store manager and their 800 customer service people. I was waiting on a call from a VPSO (whatever that is) when I got a call this morning from the store installation manager Michael saying if I didn’t pay the $160 then my fence would not be installed.
I called the 800 number back and spoke to a supervisor named Greg. He said the offer for $160 for the permit was their final resolution and if I was unhappy with that I could write a letter and a “neutral party” at Lowe's HQ would review it. SERIOUSLY??? With such horrible customer service and incompetence on the front end of this transaction, I decided it would be best to ask for a refund and move on. I can’t even imagine what a nightmare it would be if there was an issue with the fence after it was installed.
I was referred back to the store. Of course, they do not have $2370.80 to refund to me today. I am going in at 1:00 tomorrow and I am suppose to be refunded by someone named Adolfo. I imagine I will waste at least another hour there trying to get this rectified. The end result is that Lowe's is still out the $320 for the permit and now are having to refund me in full for the fence. How does this make any sense? I will never step foot in a Lowe's again. Their Veteran’s Discount means absolutely nothing if this is how they treat their esteemed veteran customers, their practices with regard to their contract if wholly illegal and their employees are utterly incompetent.

It has been leaning since February and one part was ruined by a wind storm. Mind you no one else fence in our neighborhood was ruined, which to me says it was a crappy job from the beginning. We complained to Lowe's and were told that they could not do anything about it because it wasn't their fault; even though the fence was built LESS than a month prior. It was confirmed later by the contractor himself that they had not put enough concrete to make it structurally sound (something we already knew).
We have been back and forth with the contractor since February with NO resolve! I have plenty of pictures to show just how bad the fence is leaning, and Lowe's will NOT take responsibility for it! We are now in July and no resolution. Now we are looking for other contractors to fix a problem that should have been fixed months ago. This will cost a couple thousand more. It is ridiculous.

It finally arrived around June 28th which is over six weeks.

I 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.

It was the store's decision not to have anyone available to sell to customers during his dinner break.
Now for the fun part...they didn't have any of the machine that we wanted available and sent us to the Havertown Store. Four Lowe's employees told me that Lowe's had cut back on personnel to save money...some at each store.

To make this long story as short as possible - we hired them because we thought Lowe's would provide good customer service and quality work. Boy were we wrong! They started later than promised, some days no one would show up, no communication at all. Before the work was done they disappeared, did not return our calls, and when we called the store manager and even corporate, all they did was refer us back to the original contractor who abandoned us and did not return our calls.
Here is just a short list of what we were left with - no shelves in the pantry, dishwasher that floods the kitchen, cracked grout along the length of the backsplash, washer and dryer that stick out 18 inches from the wall instead of the 6 inches they showed us in the plan, drawers that do not close, a new toilet that does not shut off, shower door that does not open all the way, handle falls off the shower door, and they even put the shelves in the bathroom cabinet with only three pegs instead of four so they are useless. When they installed the ice maker in the fridge it leaked into our basement and destroyed the sheetrock. They replaced the sheetrock but left it for us to spackle and repaint at our own expense. The wood floor they installed has such big spaces between the boards that it hurts to walk on in your bare feet. The wood floor of the hallway and the tile floor of the bathroom do not meet so there is an inch of the underlying wood showing.
Do NOT use Mount Pocono Lowe's! Joyce will be nice to you at first but as soon as the job starts she could care less about any problems and will ignore your calls.

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.

After nearly four months, 4 canceled orders, 6 store visits, and 10 phone calls to the Iwilei Lowe's store and Lowe's Corporate customer service still no tile.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 I was counting on the delivery of the refrigerator since my old one died, I now have to throw out hundreds of dollars of spoiled food since it has remained unrefrigerated for two days.

My wife went to Lowe's and picked out carpet and tile and be installed in our home. Since our house was built prior to 1978 she honestly told them the age of the house and was charged an additional $ 55.00 fee so that they could inspect for asbestos - even though she explained the house had been remodeled several times since the original build.
Lowe's sent one of their contract companies out and did a half-baked measurement without any checking for asbestos. They then came back and said they could not do the installation because of the age of the house. Now this is a nice house with modern features, newly remodeled an everything - but they said because of the original build date they could not install unless we paid someone - another party - to test for asbestos. When we asked them what the fee we paid was for they lied and tried to say that someone had pulled a piece of paint off the wall and tested it. No documentation was provided. This was a horrible experience and we will never attempt to use them again.

I 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. Lowe’s (North Carolina).
