I made the huge mistake to make a quick trip into Lowe's (St. Augustine, Florida) on Friday. I went in to quickly pick up one item and a few bags of mulch. Upon paying, I made sure the only thing I needed to do was drive through their fenced in area out front. I was assured it would be that simple. Upon driving to the closed off mulch entrance, I drove around the the exit and backed into the fenced area.
My family and I sat in the car for over 10 minutes. When we finally got out to load our own mulch, an EXTREMELY RUDE Gena approached our car to inform me I was supposed to have the front call to her to let her know I needed help loading. When I explained I had done that already, she said no one called her so next time I needed to make sure someone called her. When she demanded my receipt, I told her, "I put it in my pocket, since I was preparing to load my own mulch." She became even more upset stating this was my fault. When I reminded her that I did my job by shopping here, it was not my job to make sure someone called her. It was her job to now load my mulch and not give me a hard time. She proceeded to throw her hands up and state "I am walking away from you. I don't have to take this." Nice customer service LOWE'S. Your rude staff is making your customers do all your employees' jobs.
I did tell the female upfront. I certainly did not expect to have to take a bunch of attitude from someone whom never did load my car. I went inside to speak to a manager. The manager was in a meeting. Another assistant manager, Marsha, was on a register and could not be relieved. When I finally got to Christy, another assistant manager, I had been in the store another 10 minutes.
As we were speaking, Christy allowed Gena to come up and interrupt our conversation. When I objected to this extremely rude behavior again from Gena, Christy listened with disdain to my rant. I asked for the Manager, James **, to contact me WHICH HE HAS NEVER DONE after 3 days. So I guess the horrible customer service starts at the top and goes all the way down. Terrible, horrible, nonexistent customer service. SHAME ON YOU LOWE'S. FYI I have a meeting tonight with my contractor to have my kitchen and bathrooms replaced. I will make sure he does not purchase anything from Lowe's.

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

I used Lowe's because I'm 77 year old lady who did not want to deal with the stress of getting the job completed. I paid for a sink, granite and backsplash on January 9, 2018. It's now June 2, 2018 and it still is not completed. All I wanted was the THREE items to installed correctly. I really wonder if I will live long enough to enjoy my updated kitchen. If someone does not help me I'm calling a local TV station and/or hiring an Attorney. I really and truly think I'm being put off because Lowe's employees think I'm old and they can get by with not completing. Now contractors are placing the blame for not installing the back splash correctly saying it is Majestic Stone Import's fault because they did not remove the Old small trim. I DO NOT CARE WHOSE FAULT IT IS. I JUST WANT THE WORK DONE. I actually think Lowe's should return my money for six months of stress. Someone please help me!

I purchased a stove with a 3 year warranty from LOWE'S and I needed to get some service for the burners since they were burning at a very high temperature and probably needed to be calibrated. I called the store and they said my name was in the system but no record of the Frigidaire Gallery Stove purchase or any others. I have spent thousands of dollars in this store over the last twenty years and they did not have not one of my purchases on file. Something very strange going on there. I will be contacting my bank for the statements on the purchases.

Be VERY careful people! I was pushed into getting a Lowe's credit card by the salesman when I ordered a new roof for my house through Lowe's. I was led to believe it would be interest free for 24 months and if I paid in full before that it would be like borrowing free money. I assumed it was like any other credit card promotion where they give you a promotional period interest free and then start charging you interest on the balance AFTER that period ends. NOT WITH LOWE'S!!!
I just got hit with an interest payment of $4,400!!! This is all BACK interest for the entire promotional period because I didn't pay the balance off in full before the promotion ended. So... to recap... I was sold on putting my roof charges on a new Lowe's Card to get interest free for 2 yrs and ended up getting charged for those 2 yrs in a balloon payment at the end of the 2 yrs. Customer service gave me an additional 30 days to pay off the $6,000 balance in order to avoid getting hit with the $4,400 interest. **! Total scam and use of plays on words to con people. BEWARE!!!

While shopping for a refrigerator on June 2, 2018, my daughter and I were in the store for at least 30 minutes, looking over the specifications needed for a purchase, this is not the first time for a large purchase to be lost. Not once did a sales clerk approach us to even attempt to help us make this purchase. When we tracked down the clerk about a purchase of a refrigerator, we were told it would take two weeks for delivery. We were told that since Hurricane Harvey deliveries were running two weeks out. This was not an acceptable time period on advertised sale merchandise. We took our business and bought elsewhere with a day delivery. This has happened in the past and we purchased $3300.00 worth of appliances elsewhere because of delivery dates. My opinion; hire another truck short term to meet demand.

My husband and I are moving from SC to IN. I attempted to purchase a gas range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator from Fort Wayne, but was sent to the Marion store instead. Received an email today saying that I may need to purchase new appliance accessories, so called the 800 number that was provided. The woman there said I would need to call the FW store. When I did, I was told that they couldn’t help me and that I would need to call the Marion store. The first time I called, the call was disconnected. The second time I did I was informed that Lowe’s DOES NOT INSTALL MICROWAVES, DISHWASHERS OR GAS RANGES. Why hadn’t someone told me this previously? NO ONE ever mentioned this “minor” detail. I asked to speak to the store manager about this gross level of incompetence, and received no satisfaction whatsoever. We have always been loyal Lowe’s customers, but will not be so in the future.

I purchased a vinyl chain linked fence from the Lowe’s store listed in the subject. It took almost two months to get it installed. The Lowe’s store confirmed a delivery date, but they were a no show and no call. The following day, they showed up. But didn’t have all of the hardware needed for the job. Then the installer was a day later than promised (To dig the holes). Then, when he was to come back and finish the job, he was a no show and no call. His excuse was, “I was running behind dude”. I arranged a vacation day so I could be there when finished.
Finally the fence was complete… But the gates were too tight and very hard to open and close. (I had to adjust them). Lastly, three skids were left in my yard. Along with 12 bags of cement and a 20’ pole. Nothing was communicated to me, why, or when they would be removed. I had to call the store to arrange the pickup. A date was set… But they were a no show and no call. One week later, nothing has been done! I’ve used Lowe’s for years. Very disappointed!

It is just sad that such a good company changed to be the worse to go for your home improvement needs. I remember when many years ago people at Lowe's always smile and were willing to help. Now, these workers look like they are forced to work there. I have waited 1 full week for delivery of merchandise and if you can get in touch to ask for the status, I get different excuses, such as this just got dumped on me, or I just got this order for delivery, and this is after I got the message from their third party delivery person that my order will be deliver the next day. The next day come, and from a 1500.00 order, I get 4 items worth 88.00 dollars. The driver said, contact Lowe's, that's what I got. After contacting Lowe's, a Promise from Todd in Hazleton Lowes, that the order will be deliver the next morning.
No confirmation for the next day, and when I called, a different employee tells me that it will come in the afternoon, and that they are sorry. The afternoon comes and nothing. I called back, and the new excuse is that their truck didn't show and that now they can do it Saturday. The guy tells me, take it or you can cancel the order. INCREDIBLE, NO CONCERNS FOR CONSUMERS, I have my guys waiting for the insulation so whatever I saved by using Lowe's, I have to use to pay for workers that were sitting waiting at my house for the products plus the time wasted talking with people that are working but do not care about their job or the company they work for.

I am sitting at my computer in tears at this point in my journey. I have been a valued Lowe's customer since I bought my first home as a single mom 11 years ago. I went to Lowe's in April 2018 to look at flooring. I found some laminate hardwood flooring by Perigo that I loved. So, I started the estimate process. I paid the estimate of 4100.00 and started the process. As a single mom this was one project I could not do on my own as I had zero knowledge of cutting flooring. They scheduled the work for April 23, 2018 even though one piece was on back order. (It's now June 1, 2018 and I still do not have the one piece) I paid for them to move all of my furniture, remove old and install new.
The contractor they hired showed up and the first words out of their mouths were "we do not move this, this and this basically we move the couches and entertainment center" I should have just told them to leave and found my own contractor but I thought no Lowe's will take care of me. They left the first day basically saying two cabinets had to be emptied and moved by me before they showed up in the morning. They placed moved my dining room table and placed it in the hallway blocking all bedrooms from any escape other than windows if a fire.
When I looked at the table the base was completely to the right instead of the center of the table like it was before they moved it. They left nails and staples in my garage. The final straw was when the Contractor told me they were missing a tool and wanted to look for it. I told him no and that I had just put everything back and found no tool. He pushed passed me anyway and went into rooms they did zero work in. This left me very insecure in my own home as it appeared like he was scoping the place out for a return visit.
I contacted my contact at Lowe's and was basically lied to as he told me that this was all wrong and Lowe's would definitely take care of my table and compensate me for my troubles within 24 to 48 hours. We are no 40 days later and still no resolution. It took them over 20 days to even get someone to respond to my complaint. Then they offered 200.00 for my table and nothing for my troubles. 200.00 does not even buy a coffee table and chairs let alone replace what they damaged.
I proceeded to contact the President of the company because they refused to give me contact information for the next Tier of Management. He had someone from Executive Customer Affairs contact me. She just left a voice message and offered 100.00. Who does this company think they are?? They obviously do not value their customers at all for starters. They obviously think they can railroad single moms and take advantage of us thinking we are pushovers who will not fight back. I am at a loss as to what step to take next. They obviously do not realize a) it's about more than the 1000.00 table you damaged, b) they need to re-evaluate their customer service initiative as it's a joke. I am not sure what my next step will be with this issue but I can tell you I will be destroying my Lowe's card and sending it back to them.
DO NOT SHOP AT LOWE'S OR AGREE TO ANY INSTALLATION BY THEIR CONTRACTORS. They do not value you as a customer! (kicker in all of this is they probably have Liability Insurance on their contractors and it would not cost them anything to settle this properly and keep a customer) They obviously do not value customers because they are big enough and another customers are right around the corner. However, what happens when this continues to happen and customers continue to leave... I know you close!

I recently moved to KC Mo, I needed all new appliances at a tag of 5,000$. It took me over an hour to get someone to assist. I searched the entire store and finally they said they would put up front and he would help load them. This man's name was **, he went out of his way to help me with other items I purchased. This Lowe's is next to Wal-Mart in KC Mo store in 64154 area. Other employees were nonchalant, walked away or "not my area". Maybe Lowe's should consider working on commission.

I would like to see what you can do to expedite the installation of my roof that I pre-paid in full ($9733.31) at Lowe's on February 17, 2018. Since then I have been calling them and here are some of the replies. 1. That they underestimated the project and that I needed to pay an extra 3500.00 dollars of which I said that I would not pay any extra. Then they called back and said, "Okay no problem." 2. That they could not locate the Tiger Paw underlying and that I needed to change to something else and I said no that I wanted what they recommended and nothing else. 3. That they could not locate the shingles that I chose. Then they said it was found. 4. That they would replace the Tiger Paw synthetic with two layers of Felt underlayment. I said no.
5. As of date of purchase to present it has been the same story and for the last 3 weeks I have been getting that they emailed their manager and waiting on reply. 6. I have also mentioned that water is getting in the house and because of the leak and still I get no commitment of an installation date. 7. I also had received a call stating that the color of shingle that I picked was not available and needed to pick a new one or I would have to wait for shipment. I said that I would wait. Please, see if you can help me out.

I requested Lowe's do a fence quote. The sales person, Kenny **, came out and we contracted to install a fence. He came out on 4-24 and the fence was contracted to commence between 5-24 and 6-24, weather permitting. I was told by Lowe's that they were too busy for me. The fence could not be installed until the end of July. My husband's birthday is July 4th and I wanted the fence in before then that's why I contracted them to come out in April so I would have plenty of time. I should have gone to a real fence company instead of Lowe's. I am so sorry for my mistake.
When I asked the supervisor to cancel my fence, who is Casey **, she said the materials had been bought and I couldn't do that and I would be charged. On top of all that, I got a fence install date for the end of July, they switched companies on me for the fence installation, and to top it all off now 60 DAYS PRIOR to the fence being installed I am being charged for the full fence install. I don't have a fence, I don't have it done for my husband's birthday, it's going to be late, and yet they are charging me that. When I called this morning they said that they always charge me prior to the fence being installed and that's what the contract reads. Kenny never explained that to me! "Sign here..." says Lowe's... Watch out everyone. I will NEVER step foot in a Lowe's store again. I cannot wait to be done with them.

I’m super overwhelmed writing this review. A reviewed from a trusted company as LOWE’S. 1 STAR out of 5? After reading more than 20 reviews??? When purchasing my kitchen cabinets I was super excited, customer service was excellent. Too good to be true! Lied 1) cabinets will take 10 days prior to delivery, lied 2) 3-4 weeks according to contract, lied 3) will take 5-6 weeks instead. I have zero tolerance on company that lies to their costumes, zero tolerance for company that only cares about taking your money even if they have to lied multiple times, and zero tolerance for customer service giving you an attitude when asking for status of items that you have paid. Worst experience ever!

I cannot make this horrendous story up. We just wanted new counters, sink and faucet from Lowe's. First mistake, don’t go to Lowe's. Their own contractors will do it for a 1/3 less of the price. Lowe's told us this. They have to make money somehow. So they hired someone to measure (as we got custom counters like they advised). Then they switched us to another installer. Then we have the fabricator also for the counters and sinks.
To try and make this long story short, the measurements were wrong for the backsplash. We couldn’t balance a glass on the counters where there is a seam as it was pushed together so tight and lifts up. The sink is pushing up the counter (as we had it specially fabricated). Thanks Walsh Tops for that. Just wanted it fixed. When there are issues as big as these, Lowe's goes through CPO (customer production operation) and they override even the assistant managers/managers of the stores. The assistant manager was great and wanted to work with us. CPO, Nikia (a 2 month employee and her ‘team’) basically dropped the whole project and said, here is some of your money back.
Executives do NOT care. They put you right back with CPO as they don’t want to hear it. Counters are messed up, bare wall showing where there is no backsplash and the piping was never complete under the sink, a lot of splicing. Installer said he would come back and fix it correctly when new counters came in before Walsh dropped the project. Project started March 31 and here almost June and left a mess and a lot of stress. Notice the tons of complaints. It is true. Stay away! Do your homework. We had a $500.00 reward card from work and that is what led us there. Hope they are the next Toys "R" Us. Thanks Lowe's for taking the joy out of home improvement.

Lowe's was paid upfront to remodel my kitchen and bathroom. Keep in mind that it was just taking out the old cabinets, toilet, vanity, and shower in the bathroom. In the kitchen it is putting in new countertops, cabinets and running some new electric for under cabinet lighting. The start date on my bathroom was April 30th 2018. The tub is in. That's all. It has been 30 days and they have only worked 7 full days out of the whole month. Kitchen has not even been started. 40k dollars paid to sit in my home and stress out every day. It's not worth it.

I checked the online inventory for an item in my local store (4 ft lawn edging) and it showed 17 available. I ordered two of these for pickup at my local store (3KM from me). I received an e-mail that showed the "Ship To" address as my local store and my on-line account showed the same information. The next day my on-line account had changed to a store 18 km away. When I called up to ask them what was going on I was told that "Ship To" is generic text and that they don't actually ship anything at all. If the product is available at that store they will take it to the customer service counter for you and you can pick it up. So "Ship To" is misleading the customer.
I also asked them why they had changed the pickup store and they said that they had none in stock. I pointed out that the "check inventory at local store" option on their website was showing 14 in stock. Their answer was that that cannot be relied on! What use is an online inventory checker if it cannot be trusted and what use is an option for delivery to your local store if no delivery actually takes place! Customer Service on the phone was also more concerned about explaining their internal processes to me than actually listening to my very valid complaints. They refused to ship two of these items from another store to my local store saying, "No, we don't do that". There are too many home improvement stores around to put up with such bad customer service. I will not be using this store again.

The journey started with Lowe's about January. We went in the store looking to purchase cabinets. We were told that Custom Cabinets would take several months, so we decided to just go with the in-stock cabinets since they would take about two weeks. It took about a month before the measurement guy could come out after we paid him. Then trying to get the cabinet set up we had to switch to another representative because the one that was in the store didn't know what he was doing. We visited the store several times and trying to get everything squared away so about 2 months later we finally was able to get things kind of setup. At this point we contacted corporate office of Lowe's.
We went through so much in 3-months that corporate made the manager give us a discount, however when we came in we didn't have the cost of installation established, so yet again another week went by before this could get done. Finally got everything going but then the cabinets had several delays and delivery with JB Hunt which caused us to be off several different times. Finally when the cabinets were delivered we open the packages and out of 12 cabinets out of 10 were damaged. We contacted the corporate person in charge and informed them and sent pictures showing the damages and at this point in time the lady Cindy considered herself getting personally involved and upset with us in the whole process of trying to get things resolved (imagine that. We are the customers) that their solution was to just cancel the project.
Now this time I'll kitchen is totally demolished and to cancel the project I told them was not an option so I had to escalate to higher authorities in Lowe's management which we are now on the third tier of trying to get this resolved through Lowe's management. Let's hope that Lowe's live up to their obligation and get our project done because as of right now with kids in our house we have no kitchen no cabinets no sink no nothing it just bare and we have been eating out everyday incurring more expenses than we anticipated. Remind you that this process supposed to had only took two weeks and we are now on the 5th month.
I'm very disappointed with Lowe's with this whole process and it's just not right for this to have taken place this way and to spend all these expenditures and still not have cabinets installed and for Lowe's to decide that they are going to cancel the project as a solution is unacceptable. So let's hope that the corporate office and resolve this issue and get our cabinets installed within next week. Corporate office told me they opened the file back up and have escalated above the department that canceled the project and left us in the awkward position. I will keep you all informed.

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

I have purchased 3 refrigerators in 6 years. My home and kitchen is small. I'm retired so must purchase smaller fridge. The one in the home I purchased died 1st year and have purchased 2 more that died in 2 years but purchased warranty on this 3rd one so they are replacing with a 4th one. So technically I'm on my 4th fridge in 6 years. I've tried several brands and yes bought another warranty. This time I bought Whirlpool. These fridges range from 750 to 529 on sales. I'm told by Lowe's it's because parts are mostly made in Mexico and some are built there. Whirlpool supposedly is assembled here so quality control may be a little better however... the issue is a major appliance should last 10 years and that's just not happening.
We are being ripped off when buying these poor appliances then the warranty. I can tell you that it's been a big challenge dealing with service... This last refrigerator need a compressor fan motor and when service guy changed it out he put it in wrong and broke the fan. So my groceries went bad. Yes warranty will replace but you have a lot of work to get that back and takes about 2 weeks then it's been 3 weeks dealing with a poorly working fridge to not working at all. Warranty sent Lowe's the cost of fridge but they would not give me the flexibility with the 100 savings of fridge on sale so I had to request warranty to send the reimbursement in gift card style so I can apply it fully and buy another warranty. Another 2 weeks to wait so I bought a fridge outright on my own.
Added the warranty because the store mgr advised he would back the charge out and I can apply the gift card and it will clear out. I was at Lowe's most of the day trying to work this warranty issue. I'm senior and with disability so I was so worn out. I got home and called the number to check delivery and was told contrary to the in store info that the fridge was not in stock and would be a week if not more before it would be delivered instead of the following day. So although I'm exhausted I went. Got ice put in 3 small ice chests... Later that evening I got a recorded call that the fridge would be delivered the following day.
Now I'm waiting to see what is true and what isn't but folks this is some of the worst service at Lowe's I've ever received. It's been going downhill over the years but I'm afraid other than this purchase on warranty I had to make I will not be going to Lowe's anymore. This is difficult because I've had a 35 year relationship with Lowe's being a single mom and homeowner. I would go to a lady at Lowe's and she would teach me how to repair my home on my slim budget. Always putting me first... and so I was very loyal. I just can't deal with Lowe's store now... but I must say warranty was wonderful to me. Always kind and patient and they were even with dealing with the store and trying to get them to make it easier. I regret this poor review but maybe it will help.

I bought a garage door with installation from Lowe's. The door had a manufacturer three week delivery. The garage was of new construction and the opening was specifically made for the door being bought. Nonetheless, the Lowe's employee insisted that the contractor come out and look at it before being released to the manufacturer. They said the installer would call in two days. A week went by, I went back to Lowe's and pleaded with the salesman to release the order. He refused and said the installer would call. Two weeks after placing the order the installer shows up. Looks at the garage and ask what kind of door I wanted? I told them the door had already been purchased at Lowe's. His response was, "Why am I here?" I asked him to please call Lowe's and release the order. I go back to Lowe's the next day (Saturday) and ask, "Is the door released." Was told he would call Monday and verify.
I called Lowe's on Tuesday and asked. The answer, "I will call to see." He did not bother to call Monday. He called, not released!! It was release approximately three weeks after I ordered the door! So I am still stuck with this 8x12 foot hole in this new finished garage. Well the door comes in three weeks later from the day released. I call the installer who informs me that there are a lot of customers in front of me and it will be two more weeks. I call Lowe's customer care (don't care is more like it) who promises to call the installer to expedite and follow up the next day. Of course, there was no follow up call. Called Lowe's customer care again, they have no record and said they would open another ticket. Big rain and storm coming and still no garage door. My recommendation is DO NOT BUY INSTALLATION FROM LOWE'S!!!

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

I was shopping Lowe's Madison around midday and was surprised to find many of the aisles too narrow to safely navigate. Many of the displays were so close together you couldn't get a shopping cart by them. I was wanting to get 3 pieces of Armstrong ceiling tile. When I got in that area I found it a complete mess. There were several opened boxes of tile. Many were damaged and badly broken. I worked my way through the mess and located 3 half decent tiles so inquired to get the price. I was told I had to purchase a lot of 10 and they couldn't be sold individually. What a surprise.
I asked to speak with the manager. Reluctantly the zombie help ask the lady stand only a few feet away if she would have a word with me. So I explained the and she explained "it's like buying a dozen eggs" you only get a dozen. Bright lady stupid policy. There was a time when you could buy eggs one at a time and in my lifetime I remember getting a half dozen eggs. In my experience Lowe's relies more and more on their ** policy. That is the help on the floor shouldn't ask if they can help you in any way. Also many of the cashiers rely completely on the automation. Apparently they are not allowed to do any thinking on their own! Sad. Nice store wrong attitude!

If you have a Lowe's credit card, watch out... They will cut your limit if you open another card with Synchrony Bank. Opened a Walmart card with 200 request to pick up some extra for Christmas and my credit was dropped from 1700 to 1070. Thanks a lot, never late, always pay more than minimum and yet penalized. Sorry but guess I will open with Home Depot to do my building I had planned and you off. Still like your stores better but gotta go where my business is appreciated.

I'm writing the review to warn others to never use Lowe's on remodeling jobs of any sort. The nightmare began when we first signed our contract with them on January 3, 2018. We went through the inside sales department. The job began with the saleswoman walking us down many aisles saying "that would look nice"...And taking notes as we walked. The job was supposed to be a simple remodel. We looked at the Lowe's website and chose some of the fixtures... New faucets, new lights, new vanity top and tile for the shower remodel.
She kept pushing Onyx products on us. (The most expensive pieces, of course). We described the shower door we wanted but unfortunately it wasn't on the showroom floor. So once again, we mention privacy door and she wrote notes for an Onyx privacy door and shower pan. The vanity top was also an Onyx product. What they failed to mention was that Onyx products are special order items that can take a month or more to get in the Lowe's warehouse.
We then find out that the stories about their contractors having thorough background checks was a lie. The first contractor was sent in for the pre-construction meeting at our home. They looked over things, made tick marks in a fancy notebook... Flipping through the pages quickly and asked us to sign yet another contract with Lowe's contractor. We were only allowed to call the project manager, who was never available. The vanity came in the wrong color so that was the first stop to the remodel job and it took another several weeks of waiting.
Finally the new colored vanity came in and it was back to work for the crew. The crew was divided into sub-contractors of the Lowe's appointed contracting firm. The first crew changed the start date to the second week in April 2018. Yeah, this was the fourth month of waiting. The second crew, the tile guys didn't speak any English. They were two illegal immigrants working under the table. Well, we were told that they would only be here for two hours to finish the Kerdi sheetrock vapor seal. What really happened was they snooped around in a closed closet to find our safe and they stole over $2000 worth of gold jewelry. We had to make a police report and deal with the original contractor who denied the event ever happened.
We told Lowe's that we wanted a new contractor. A week later, they sent a 23 year old with one year experience to finish tiling the shower. He tiled the shower alright. But none of the sides or the shower pan are level. Then he hung part of the shower door crooked into the tile and not into the studs making the door so crooking that it left a 1/4" gap down the side of the door. Then this young man told us that the other half of the door was too long and had to be re-ordered through Onyx. This meant another month wait. And now we're into May and the entire shower looks like a person watched YouTube lessons before doing the tile work.
Today, May 10, 2018... We are still waiting for Lowe's store managers to return calls. We tried Lowe's Corporate only to be re-connected back to the local Lowe's general manager. And he's either at lunch or left for the day. Lowe's has been avoiding us for weeks now and after five month of waiting the shower is still not usable. The shower was supposed to be converted into an ADA handicap accessible shower. But the measurements don't match. We had another independent contractor come over to evaluate this shower and he just shook his head and pointed out all the flaws.
His company could have saved us $4,000 had we chosen his company. The total price of this horrible remodel through Lowe's came to $12,400. And the only way to correct the errors made... Is to gut the whole shower and start from scratch with an independent professional contractor who warned us to avoid Lowe's. Like I mentioned in the beginning of this review this has been a never ending nightmare!!

Two days after surgery I went to Lowe's in Waterloo, NY to buy a replacement dishwasher. After waiting for service I left. I was in extreme pain and couldn't wait any longer. That afternoon, I bought my dishwasher online and paid the haul away fee. I called the store for assistance the following Monday to add a hose because the chat option would not help. On the day of delivery, the service person informed me that it was my responsibility to remove my old dishwasher. They also informed me that I missed that online. My surgery was on my shoulder.
There is no way I could remove the unit. No service in the store, no service with chat, no service with delivery. My fault because I missed the fine print after Lowe's ignored me at their location. Never again. I will never forget how I've been treated while recovering. The MyLowe's card has been removed from my wallet. I will buy from retailers that deserve my business. As an ending, I cancelled my purchase. Lowe's offered no remedy.

We met with kitchen design center @ Lowe's. Chose our cabinets. (1) Kitchen designer for most part did a good job EXCEPT for area near 2 angled posts in our kitchen. Perhaps he failed to clarify the issues he faced in trying to accommodate those areas. In any event, his solution, was to create one angled unusable cabinet near left post; on the right post - he offered the solution of a false front cabinet. I couldn't understand why since we had useable cabinets before, I couldn't understand his limitations. If I had understood, we might have gone with custom cabinetry. (2) We purchased an entire kitchen suite of appliances in March. Two of the appliances have been delivered but the stove/range and dishwasher are on backorder because of supplier issues. It's now 2 months since date of purchase and we're still waiting on those appliances. We never get a phone call regarding the backorder, I've had to be the one to chase all of this.
Initially we were told delivery April 11th (and 2 of our appliances were delivered), then April 28th, then May 12th, now we're told May 25th. If I had known that Lowe's could not deliver all 4 of these appliances I might have gone with another brand so I could have a complete kitchen suite of appliances same brand. Instead I'm now at a guessing game trying to figure out if Lowe's will deliver the remaining 2 appliances at all. (3) Countertop. Our contractor has completed the kitchen remodeling of our home, cabinets have been installed but we are still waiting for delivery of the countertops we ordered through Lowe's. We purchased them at the point in time recommended by the kitchen designer (3 weeks ago). We were initially told delivery of our countertop would be in 2 weeks. But then we were told last week that they did not even start on the countertop until April 30th and now they anticipate installation of our countertop on May 31st.
The problem is that our contractor is done. They have completed their portion of our kitchen. I have an incomplete kitchen waiting on Lowe's to deliver the remaining items on a timetable that Lowe's doesn't even stand behind nor care. All I want is to use my kitchen. Currently I stand in it, look at the cabinets, see my floor and pray that the dishwasher, stove/range and countertops will actually come through.

This is the 4th bad experience with Lowe's. These are two of my most recent. I ordered through the store a patio set. They said it would take 4 days to assembled. I scheduled a delivery on Thursday. Changed my schedule to accommodate them. On Thursday I get a call that they put it on the wrong truck. I reschedule for Sunday. It comes in boxes not assembled. I asked the delivery service to take it back. They said it would take 2 weeks to get another one. I decided I would let it go and call Lowe's. They said that was not true and another one would be delivered Tuesday. They said the service doesn't get paid to return product. That is why they lied to me.

I went into Lowe's and wanted to purchase some doors so they set up a appointment to have the doors measured. They called to set up the time and the guy sounded like I was a inconvenience to him with the 2 days that I had free. He showed up at the time we set up. He looked like he just rolled out of bed, he was unshaven, had a sweat shirt on that had Lowe's independent contractor label on it and he had on sweat pants and untied shoes. He comes in measures and doesn't say anything except they will be in contact with me. I called Lowe's and told him I don't want that company in my house. They said they will contact them and cancel them and set up a new contractor.
The new one called and I told him the 2 days that I have free. He then said that, "Oh we like to have more than 2 days to schedule for appointment." I am sorry that my wife and I work a lot. He then said he will contact me in a couple days. 1 week went by no contact so I called Lowe's again and told them, "Forget it. I will go somewhere else and get my own contractor." They just, "Oh ok. Thank you," and hung up . DO NOT EVER EVER BUY FROM THERE. This is the second time I have had a issue with them. The first time I spent a couple thousand in the store and they were able to fix the issue after I called their corporate office. This time I was going to spend around 4-5 thousand and they act like it's no big deal.

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

I have never had that luck with a delivery with Lowe's. So I called to let them know I had to take my dog to the vet at 9 am, that if they could possibly push me to the end of that delivery window that would be great, if not they could leave it in the driveway. This morning at 9 am I get a call that they moved my time to 11 am to 1 pm. No big deal. 1:30 pm comes around and I have not heard from the driver or seen him, so I call to find out what's going on, to be told that well. there's a note that we could just leave it in the driveway, so they probably are running behind and saved you for last.

I first contacted Lowe's warranty service for faulty dishwasher that had stopped working about 2 months prior, in January 2018, almost 5 months ago. For some reason, not much water flow into dishwasher and soap never dissolved. My husband and I both work full time jobs, so figuring out a time when someone could sit at home for hours waiting for repair services was difficult.
The company, A1 Appliance company, apparently a local company contracted with Lowe's, told us in January (after contacted by Lowe's Warranty) the first time that they would be there at agreed-on date between 8am to 12 pm (about 2 weeks later). That Friday in January, one of my few days off work, I was at home as agreed. As I neared the end 8am-12pm time period waiting for repair, I hadn't gotten phone call or message from repairman saying when or if they would show (even cable company does better than that).
Called Lowes' A-1 Repair, just got machine, and I left message I was still waiting. Near noon, repairman called needing directions to our house which I gave (apparently for some reason he had our neighboring STATE in his address)- gave it to him. He came by, nice guy, looked at dishwasher, said he had to order parts, and would get back to us. Couple WEEKS later came by and he came back and 'fixed' something and left. Didn't apparently check anything. Went to run dishwasher that night... Nope.
Called again. arranged yet another Friday morning for him to come back. My husband was home from his job waiting, and after waiting for about 2 hours the repair company called him to tell him repairman was fired that day and they would have someone new. Ok... Couple weeks later new repairman comes, says he knew exactly what the problem was with this dishwasher was as he'd fixed this model umpteen times before, and needed to order a new part. Took him TWO weeks to get back to our house to install the new part. He installed the new part, did not even CHECK to see if dishwasher worked, and left. I went to run tiny load of dishes that night and no water in dishwasher.
Called Customer Service to complain -- please, we work and don't have hours and days to donate for repair people, please could we just replace dishwasher? Rep very polite but said they followed Lemon Law 'very closely' as is 'standard in the industry' and unless I have FOUR different repair failures on my record this does not qualify. OK, I get maybe doesn't fit into pinhole of Lemon Law but seriously?? So she scheduled ANOTHER visit with another company. About an hour later (2 days ago), I get an email saying please disregard that repair time, Lowe's needs my model and serial number to process... LIKE WHO WAS FIXING MY DISHWASHER FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS??
If they are following the 'industry standard' of the Lemon Law, then what is the point of the extra coverage??? And I have a full-time medical practice--taking off a half-day to sit around waiting for a repairman that may or may not show up is costly and incredibly aggravating. Thank God my kids are grown and my husband and I don't cook that much, because waiting over FOUR months to get a dishwasher is ridiculous. We got a more expensive (not lavishly-expensive, just not cheap) dishwasher most recently (2 years ago)d because we figured would be worth the investment. Bitterly disappointed in Lowe's. Don't care about the Lemon Law, just figured they would go the extra mile. Bought lots of appliances from Lowe's over the years, just sad they're going downhill with their contracted help and won't stand behind their appliances.

The phone call took 40 minutes just to order the dishwasher and be told that the installer would pick up and call within 24 hours of my ordering. Part of the 40 minutes was the salesperson calling two stores to make sure that the dishwasher was in stock and ready to be picked up. 24 hours later, I called and asked why the installer hadn't called.
I was assured that he would be picking up the new dishwasher that afternoon and not to worry. 48 hours later, I called again, only to be told that "the store didn't have it in stock so it won't be in until mid next week." What was that salesperson doing for 40 minutes if not checking with the store? It's not like the installation is cheap, either. I don't appreciate being lied to by three different people.

I just get the run-around. First I was told 3-5 days for the credit, then told 7-10 days for the credit, then 3-10 days for the credit. Store managers are no help. All give the "Canned Response". Customer service is no help and give the "Canned Response". The customer supervisor said he is, and I quote, "the highest person at the corporate office".
I asked if he was the President of Lowe's and he responded again, and I quote, "the highest person at the corporate office". Seriously? He refused to transfer me to the accounting office to inquire about a transaction credit from the batch transmittal the store would have made. Yes, they send me "Lowe's" order forms with the credit, but absolutely NO proof it was transmitted to their credit card clearing house or to my credit card company.

However, on my most recent outing, I was prompted to write this review. My mom and I were going to several hardware stores in Ottawa to price out shingles for my roof which I plan to do this year. When we arrived at Lowes we circled the entire store and were not only not approached, but also could not find anything that resembled a roofing section. So we were forced to seek out help. We approached a middle aged man in the windows and doors section who looked like he might know a bit more about the product knowledge. He responded with, "You'll have to give me a minute" accompanied by a stern look and an out-stretched finger indicating we would have to wait. We took a few steps back and allowed him to finish his quote despite the fact that our question would have taken half a second to respond. He was clearly busy with another customer and could not multi-task.
We gave him his space and about 15 minutes later he finished his quote, gave it to his customer and turned back to us, "What did you need?" we were asked bluntly. We attempted to explain that we were looking for a quote for shingles and were met with a look of utter disgust mixed with a stifled laugh and "This is windows and doors, what made you think I would be able to help you with that?" before the words were even out of our mouths. He then passively waved us to the front of the store. We said we would no longer need help and he yelled after us that we must go to the "pro desk" or wherever. By this point Lowe's had already lost the sale. We will continue to deal with Rona and Home Depot from here on out where we receive over-the-top service, we even had employees there load our vehicle and help us unprompted in such a professional and kind way.

I should have never let Lowe's install my microwave. It was just easier to buy and have them install it. Installer foolishly drilled up into custom cabinet and hogged the drill so much, cabinets splintered and look awful! Please think twice before you have the install anything.

I opened a Lowe's account on March 9th, 2010 and never missed a payment ever. Had a limit of $10,000 and paid off the entire balance 5 years ago. Unbeknownst to me, Synchrony Bank just closed my account 4 days ago. All along for years, they kept lowering my limit, again without giving me notice of this, and eventually just forcefully closed my account. My FICO dropped 50 pts. as a result!!! Never get a Lowe's card or work with this bank!! Now I can't buy my dream house because my FICO is below 740 - used to be in the high 700's. AWFUL, AWFUL bank and I hope they go out of business soon!! I will stick with my Discover, VISA and Barclaycard as they would never do this to me. This Synchrony bank should be notifying people whenever it lowers the limits and definitely when it is about to close the account. I would have gone to Lowe's and bought a dang hammer just to keep the account open if I knew this would have happened.

Poor customer Service in Reno, NV - No one offers to help or ask if you need anything...made a large purchase of kitchen cabinets and many other things remodeling our home and most of our orders were wrong, not what we asked for but what the worker input. We just wasted $500.00 on a bathroom vanity that was ordered incorrectly and didn't fit in the room but we didn't catch it till we had already cut the back out so we're stuck with that sitting in the garage. Apparently there's no help, no proper training, and everyone seems to be at lunch if you go to the counter person to ask for help. Today we wanted a kitchen sink...we were told there's only ONE person that can sell that to us so we don't have one since that person was OUT TO LUNCH!

I purchased my french door back in September In Gurnee, IL. They were so helpful and nice, walked me to the register charged me $$$$ with a big smile on their face (Awesome customer service when they are taking your money). The door comes in, they installed the door, The door is short (almost 3 inches-of course when Lowe's send you a window installer to measure the door), hardware is missing, door is wobbly, hanging in the air, big gap between the doors, looks terrible. Reached out to my local store telling them I am not happy with the door, of course they want nothing to do with you and they said the door is fine, kept complaining until they sent the people from JELD to measure the doors and said that was the installer's fault.
Long story short (I know it's too late now lol) Lowe's ordered a new door and they got in store in December, set up a time to install it, took time off from work and the installer cancels and never returned any text/call to reschedule. After 6 months of complaining and calling Lowe's every week (Store and Headquarter, they promised compensation) they finally hired a professional door installers from Chicago to install my door (in March). The door looked good, when they called me and asked for compensation, they said: "No compensation because your door was installed and you don't get anything." They don't even deserve a 1 star.

I want to share my experience with Lowe's. I got the contract with Lowe's on March, 23th, 2018. I made many calls and Lowe's just play kickball games on me. Each group of Lowe's just find excuses to defend themselves and never resolve the problems for customs. During those 4 weeks, my ceiling of three bedroom already damaged and nobody response. I would like them to fix the house rather than damage the house. Share my bad experience with all and let you know. Check the company background and processing systems is very important. Like Lowe's, they got the contract with you, but they only sell the material to you, and asked the other installers to fix, if installer is not available, your project cannot move on.

We bought a home in June 2017 and decided to open a Lowe’s credit card for home supplies appliances, and tools, etc. We needed a lot for our new home and quickly maxed out our card. We been making payments on time for 6 months. Lowe’s sent us a letter stating our account has been closed. The letter also states based on their prediction our credit has fell below creditworthiness. Really! Prediction! We don’t believe that for a second.
We called customer service to complain and said to them “You can’t pull our credit without our consent. That’s against the law.” Of course they denied and said it was a prediction. Now Feb 2018, the account is closed and is DEROGATORY on our credit. That’s not right! It’s April now, and by June it will be paid off. We sworn by Lowe’s over Home Depot and now, we will never buy from Lowe’s again in our lifetime. We have told all our families and friends what happened, and we will continue to spread the word to anyone who ever mention Lowe’s. Definitely not worth saving 5% on your purchase as they advertise.

Last April we purchased a new home and had to replace the carpet in the bedrooms. Albeit fairly new, the previous owners had 4 dogs, they hid very well, or buying this house was not going to happen. Asthma and allergies. So we had no choice, with changing the flooring! We went to HD, they did not have what we wanted, and delivery would be at least three weeks. We didn't have that time to wait. So against better judgement we went to Lowe's. After some great debate and advice from an employee, we went with the Acacia Blackwood. He assured us it had a great Janka rating. I pride myself on doing my research but this was in the store at that moment, we had the contractor coming in a few days. We had many issues with the order from day one. Within weeks of the install we started noticing light scratches, in areas with little use.
We had pads down while our stuff was being moved in. And everything was stored in the garage, moved into the house a little at a time. Furniture pads under everything! Area rugs in other areas to protect the floors that we spent over $5000.00 on between material and installation! I contacted Lowe's last year to get info on the warranty. Got the runaround! Had serious health issues, so everything was put on hold. I contacted them again recently and was given the name and the number of the manufacturer again. When I reached the manufacturer, I was told that Lowe's knows the process, which is they are supposed to file the warranty claim, having all required information. Oh no, that was too much for them to do! I spoke to an employee at Lowe's on Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA.
I explained that my receipt had begun to fade, it has the cost there, the PO and invoice numbers but the description is not visible. He said, "Come on, I and we will print a copy." I drive across town to hear it is only 6 months they keep the receipts in their system! He had me call the Go Lowe's customer service number. I eventually got through to a young woman who said, "nope only 90 days, they keep records, but let me speak with my supervisor!" She gets back to me saying that there is nothing they can do. I asked, "So we are supposed to take a $5000.00 plus loss?" I don't think so! On hold again for a long while. She comes back and says, "Ok we can try to do a receipt request!" Meanwhile the employee at the store tried getting a manager to come speak with me to see what they can do. He never showed up. He was too busy to care!
I was told they would handle the receipt request at store level and get back to me today. I waited until late this evening to call to see what if anything can be done or what is the news they have for me. The salesman who was supposed to call me back did not! He is gone for the day! So here I am flapping in the wind. On the phone with Lowe's customer service. Which I should have done myself instead of waiting for Lowe's at store level to handle anything! What a waste of time. I will never buy spit from them again. I just got off the phone with Lowe's Customer service, speaking to a rep and a supervisor. Who informed me that after 365 days they no longer have the receipt in their system, "sorry but call us back if there is anything we can do for you!" Then has the audacity to ask me to do an end of call survey. I said no! What a waste of time and money!

The customer service staff was rude and disrespectful. I was at the customer service desk for almost an hour just standing there trying to sort out the return of an item they got wrong. My husband and I special ordered an item, when my husband picked the item up they gave him the wrong item. I had to return it to the store. I waited over 15 mins to get help getting the item out of the truck. I then waited because the cashier could not find the order. The cashier did not keep me informed as to what was happening, found the order and processed a refund which was not what I wanted. This lead to a discussion with the Service Manager (I waited another 10 mins for him) who at some point thought I received the wrong item to only leave me there waiting for another 20 minutes while he went to look to see if the correct item was the back.
In all I was there a little less than an hour, just standing at the service desk with no one speaking to me. And, at no time did any of the individuals involve apologize for any part of this disaster. The final breaking point was when the original service person came back from what I can only assume was a break and looked at me and said "Wow you're still waiting". At that time another customer service person turned to the first and said "Don't engage her" as if I was some unstable, dangerous customer. The staff at Lowe's customer service is Contemptable. I realize losing my husband and myself as customers is not a big deal to Lowe's but I will spread this story to anyone who will listen.

I purchased a new gas stove from Lowes. I asked both the salesperson and department manager about installation. I wanted a plumber. Both insisted that their installation people were certified, specially trained. They were also the subcontracted delivery people. The stove was a quick installation. I was told the stove would have a new stove chemical smell. They ran the oven for 30 minutes. I ran the oven for an hour for the next 4 days, kept a window etc. but the smell was still there. I called Lowes and asked for a more experienced person to come back. They did, and found a loose fitting.
Over the next few weeks I was still not sure that the smell was gone. It was faint but never smelled like rotten eggs! I called Nicor gas and they checked the installation. It was still leaking due to loose fitting and lack of that goopy stuff that is painted on. How many other stoves are out there with this problem? Lowes should not be installing stoves! How much did it cost me with this leak? How much was my health impacted?

Don't be fooled by what may appear to be really good prices on the Lowe's website. I'm so angry that I wasted my time comparing a dryer to other machines on the market at various stores. I checked delivery charges, etc… the whole thing. After coming to the conclusion that it was the best deal at Lowe's, I put it in my cart prepared to buy it. Just like a previous reviewer from a week before, it said that it's not available. They clearly keep it online just to bring people to their site, so on principle, I will go out of my way not to purchase from them, even though they have another model I could go for that is the same price as other stores. Unbelievable. I tried to post a review on their site, but they rejected it... What a surprise. There was no 'bad language', just a message warning about their practices. Leave them out of your price comparison shopping.

On 3/27/18 my stackable washer/dryer was deemed un-repairable. After doing some research online, I decided to go to Home Depot to talk to their experts and make my purchase. When I got there I had to ask two different people for help in the Appliance department. Finally after tracking down yet another employee, I was told that the Appliance expert had left for the day (at 7pm, even though the store doesn't close till 10 pm). Annoyed to have wasted my time, I rushed over to Lowe's in the hopes of having a better customer experience. If only I had known then what I know now.
At first, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the sales associate was. He was fairly knowledgeable and was able to answer key questions I had. One important factor for me when it came down to making my final purchase decision was availability and final delivery date. I was told it would deliver on Thursday, 3/29 and that I would receive an automated message the night before that would provide a delivery window of 2 hrs. The sales associate asked me if the washer/dryer was to be installed upstairs or ground floor. I told him it was upstairs, to which he replied "okay that will be a four man job".
On Wednesday night I missed a call on my cell phone that had gone straight to voicemail. When listening to the automated message left on my voicemail, there was no delivery window mentioned (it sounded like the recording had not started at the intended beginning, but I can't be sure). What was on the automated message was a request for me to "press 1" to confirm the delivery window, or "press 2" to do something else, etc. How stupid. How are you going to have instruction like that on an automated message without regard for the possibility that the person the message is intended to reach may not be able to physically answer the phone?
How am I to confirm anything this way? Ridiculous. So I call the number back and of course there is an automated message that asks you to dial the extension if you know it and to otherwise wait for your call to be answered. They don't actually call you until after 7pm, so if you are calling back, don't expect anyone to be there to answer your call. Nervous that my delivery would be cancelled since I couldn't press 1, I tried dialing a series of numbers just to get to someone's voicemail. I left a message on that voicemail explaining that my voicemail had picked up the automated call blah blah blah. Left my number, name and requested someone call me back to let me know the delivery window for the following day and to consider this my confirmation for the delivery date of 3/29. No one called me back.
The next morning and the day my unit was to deliver, I called them again. I spoke to someone about my order. I explained that I had not been able to confirm my delivery due to the automated message being left on my voicemail and that the message did not include a delivery window. He confirmed that delivery would be between 3-5 and they would have an automated call go out 15 minutes prior to arriving. Great – I arranged to be available between those hours which meant taking time off work. But I was excited that I would be doing laundry that night – as I was starting to run out of clean clothes and my house was in disarray due to the preparations I made for the installation.
I received the automated call 15 minutes prior to the arrival of the delivery team. They were right on time. When they came inside and saw where the laundry closet was, the guy said they’d need four men to do this job – him and his coworker would not be enough. I told him that the salesperson had said that when he asked me whether I lived upstairs or not. Why this info was not on his paperwork is beyond me. He took some pictures of the stairway as well as some measurements, apologized and said that he would have to call his boss to let her/him know what happened and then he left. I was very disappointed that they were not able to complete the delivery because of a simple communication failure.
I called the delivery company directly and spoke to someone who said she’d have to check on the schedule for the following day, but after speaking to me for a little she told me that she was putting me on the schedule for the following morning between 8-10am with a team of four. She said I should expect a confirmation call that evening.
Meanwhile my boyfriend had called Lowe’s to find out what the heck happened & to get assurance that there would be no further issues. Multiple people promised return calls that never came or were returned 8 hours later. I’d like to point out that every time you call Lowe’s, you get transferred around, get hung up on, get placed on hold without anyone ever picking up, get the wrong department, etc. This experience or runaround was repeated every time we attempted to reach someone. I will say that by the end of this fiasco, I know all the names of the people in the Lowe’s delivery department and recognize the voices of those that work for the incompetent delivery company.
That night I did receive my confirmation call, but the automated message stated that my delivery window would be from noon to 2pm. This was not what I was told when I called after the initial failed delivery attempt. My attempt to call them was futile. I had no choice but to call them in the morning and that is what I did. When they looked up the delivery, there were no notes regarding the promise that had been made to me to deliver between 8-10. They had me on the schedule for 12-2 pm. I asked if that schedule included a team of two or four delivery personnel. I was shocked to hear that that only one team of two people were assigned to my delivery.
I cannot believe that after the initial mess up, they promised a resolution that was never on the books and furthermore had me on the schedule for two people – despite the fact that the whole reason it couldn’t deliver initially was due to the need for a four person team. Mistakes happen in every type of business -we’ve all been on both sides of a situation where errors are made. It is how you recover or rectify those mistakes that truly affect a customer’s willingness to do business with you and your company again. Sadly, this was strike 2 for me and all the hurdles in between each strike made it all the more likely that I would NEVER consider buying from Lowe’s again.
My boyfriend, now familiar with all the staff at Lowe’s, called them yet again and explained what had happened. One of the reps had agreed to a $200 credit. That eased some of the pain, however, the trust was broken and my patience was running out as my pile of laundry continued to mount. I work a LOT of hours, so taking time off work is difficult and finding time to collect my laundry and take it somewhere is not only inconvenient, but would also require more time than what my schedule can afford to give. I just want to say again, that one of the reasons I chose the unit that I did was because of Lowe’s promise to deliver by Thursday. Well, Thursday had come and gone and Friday was on its way out and I still didn’t have my washer/dryer.
I was beginning to think it would be better if I canceled my order with Lowe’s and make my purchase elsewhere – I figured it would probably deliver a lot faster than this situation with Lowe’s would be resolved. With the passing of each failure – several per day (lack of follow up, empty promises, Lowe’s staff unable to successfully communicate with the contracted delivery company and vice versa, being disconnected, placed on endless hold etc.) my disdain for Lowe’s increased. To be at the mercy of a company that cares so little for its customers is incredibly infuriating. My boyfriend had to contact Lowe’s multiple times again to ensure that the delivery on Saturday would be with a team of 4. They assured him it would be and that it would be in the morning. It was the only time I would be available, as I had plans that could not be changed Saturday night - so an afternoon delivery would be out of the question.
My big plans of doing laundry that night were dashed and my stomach was in knots – nervous that Lowe’s would let me down yet again. Around 9pm Friday night, I received the automated message I could now recite by heart, confirming delivery for Saturday between 8-10 am. I was to be the first stop. I started to relax a bit. Saturday morning, around 9:30, I received the 15 minute automated message stating they were on their way. Finally! I was so excited that this fiasco would be over and that I’d be able to do laundry in a matter of an hour or two. They showed up – the team of four (they really do exist) and they began the removal of my broken machine. This was completed without issue. They gave me time to clean the area in preparation for the installation of the new machine.
Several minutes later, the delivery person that I now recognized due to his multiple trips to my house, comes in and informs me that he is unable to complete the delivery because the machine I ordered is damaged. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was at a loss. He went on his way and I sat down to let that info sink in. I would have to buy clothes to make it to my event that night if I wanted something clean to wear. I called Lowe’s again, got hung up on once, transferred incorrectly twice, but finally reached the familiar voice in the delivery department.
I am embarrassed to say that I was in tears at this point. My frustration level had finally reached its limit. She put me on hold while she spoke with the other two people we knew by name in the department. I explained that I’m supposed to go out of town for Easter the following morning and that I have tickets to a show that night, so even if they could remedy by this afternoon, that would not work. I would have to cancel my Easter plans and would do so if delivery could be made the following morning. She looked for another unit in stock and told me she would call me back. This was the first return call I received within a reasonable time. She informed me that the delivery would be set up for Easter Sunday and that there was a unit in stock.
I received the automated confirmation call for a delivery window of 8:30-10: 30am. At around 9:45am, there was a knock on my door. The delivery man asked me what was to be delivered to me. Whaaaat? You don’t know what you are delivering to me? How is that even possible? I have to say that if I was the person responsible for the appliance delivery at Lowe’s I would have been there personally to ensure everything went smoothly and that the customer was finally taken care of. I told him that a washer/dryer was to be delivered. He said he’d have to check the truck. Check the truck? What kind of delivery company is this? I’ll tell you, they are ill-equipped, uninformed and unprofessional? After everything that happened up until then, I immediately felt sick to my stomach. Was this going to happen today or not? When he came back, he confirmed that the installation would happen. Hallelujah.
They brought the unit up and put it in place, did a two second test of the dryer and washer and took a photo of their handy work and left. Moments later I looked around the unit and found a piece of a plastic hose that had “assists in draining, do not remove” imprinted on it. I have no idea if this piece belongs to my unit, if it fell out of someone’s pocket, or if it’s a critical piece for my machine. Again, stomach in knots. I ran out to see if I could stop the men from leaving, but they were long gone. As I made my way back up the stairs, I noticed all the dirty smudges and handprints that were all over the entire stairwell. It took me a good hour to paint over all the areas they touched. Another bonus. I finally start my first load of laundry. Unbelievably, the hot and cold water was swapped. So, when I want cold water, I have to select hot water and vice versa. How hard is it to get that right? Lastly, the unit had scratches on the lid and the outside panel.
While I did receive an initial credit for all the failures, as well as an upgraded machine without an additional cost (the machine I originally ordered was discontinued apparently and they no longer had any in stock despite what I was told - again, another untruth), the headaches, work hours lost, Easter holiday plans cancelled, painting of walls etc. is nowhere near worth it. My unit is scratched and spits out scalding hot water when you select cold, but hey, it came with a door prize - an extra piece of plastic drainage hose.
My fight is not over. I now have to get in touch with Lowe’s once again regarding the hot/cold swap and schedule another appointment. I can tell you that this purchase has left me with PTSD and I dread having to go through them to complete this job correctly. I will never forget my experience with Lowe’s. They have no regard for their customers. Their focus is on the bottom line at the expense of the people that actually affect it - the customer. I will never do business with Lowe’s again and will be sure to share my experience with anyone and everyone willing to listen. You can bet that if there is a place for me to post my review, I will be doing so – and from the reviews I have come across thus far, I can see that I am just one of thousands of unhappy customers.

I got a gift card for my son-in-law as a Christmas present. When he went to use it there was no money in it. This is April, and repeated calls to their gift card services has been fruitless. They said they have to send it to "Corporate" — and after two months and repeated calls "Corporate" has not responded to me or to the card services! NEVER buy gift cards from Lowe's. It is a rip off!

No scanner for My Lowe's card (clerk told me I didn't need it). Couldn't find my order - asked me three times if it was a special order. It was. I showed her my email notice. She copied it down and asked two more times. I finally went behind desk after 30 minutes of watching her run around and there was my special order with my name on it. Clerk had no printer to give me a receipt despite my specifically asking for one. Pick Up desk was separate from Customer Service and located AT THE ENTRANCE. Total logjam at doorway. Three customers ahead of me still waiting after me as their items couldn't be located (one customer just purchased refrigerator and they couldn't find one).

We placed an order for washer and dryer on Friday March 30. We were told that they will be delivered Saturday March 31. We received a call Friday evening to say they will be delivered between 1 and 3 pm Saturday. Saturday morning we receive a call stating that they mixed up our order. We spent 45 minutes on the phone where they fixed the issue on THEIR end. They then told us that they will be delivering yesterday afternoon. Got a call at 2 pm. to say they can't because the items didn't get on the truck for delivery. I spoke with a manager. He assured me that he will handle. He said that they now don't have the washer in stock but have the dryer. He assured me that the dryer will be delivered April 1 between 7 a.m and noon time and washer will be delivered on Monday April 2.
This morning we receive a call to let us know that again they now don't have either items in stock even though Anthony assured me that the dryer was in stock and will be delivered. When we call, we wait literally 20-25 minutes and the people on the other end have zero clue on what has transpired, what discussions have occurred. This is NOT the kind of service that anyone should have to endure. Lack of credibility, lack of professionalism and outright misrepresentations to clients. I see based on other reviews that I am not the only person that has had this type of experience. I will not buy from them ever again.

Ordered a saw online. Two days AFTER Lowe's computer says it has been delivered I contact my local Lowe's. Customer Service said they couldn't help me and told me their manager will call me back. Never happened. Contacted Lowe's customer service. They couldn't provide status and blamed it on their vendor (not my issue, Lowe's should be responsible for their vendors). Next call they said the computerized status is wrong, the product has not been shipped yet (this is now several days after they cashed my check). Wouldn't give me a tracking number.
Next call, they couldn't contact their vendor. Again couldn't or wouldn't provide a tracking number. I asked about getting a refund. They said I couldn't get a refund until I receive the product which, at this point, may never happen. So, at this point, I feel Lowe's is doing an unacceptable job on tracking the order and an unacceptable job managing their vendors. I feel they are negligent in pointing the finger at their vendor and not taking any responsibility for this failed service. I will NEVER place an online order through Lowe's again.
Updated on 04/13/2018: After 3-1/2 weeks and several trips to my local Lowe's I finally got a refund, but not until after I filed the reports with UPS. They took absolutely no responsibility and only blamed the problem on Black and Decker and on UPS but would not lift a finger to help. I have not received one reply back from any manager and the only reply I got back from corporate customer service was to tell me that if I ever get my saw I can get a refund. Local store customer service was nice but was not empowered to help. They hit the same brick walls I did. Product is still lost but at least someone (customer service at local store) gave me a refund. I will never use their on-line ordering again and the juries still out on whether or not I will ever use Lowe's again.

In the middle of a remodel and needed to buy tools and materials. The contractors had some Lowe's store credit (under their names) that they would like to cash out since they needed cash more than store credit. Went to the store with them, bought the materials bought more than I needed as it's the rule of thumb for remodeling and asked 2 different cashiers that if I had to return the things, will I have any issue putting the credit under my name so I don't have to rely on them. I was told multiple times that is not an issue. Spent about $550 and about 400 worth of store credit.
Went to return some of the items along with other items that I previously purchased on a credit card and the store credit was issued back to me in store credit which was fine. When I noticed they did not ask for my ID, I asked them to make sure it's under my name so I can go buy more items, they said it's going to the original person and there's nothing that can be done. The clerk recommended that I call the contractors and ask for their DL# which I did but later found out from that manager that this does not work either, the person needs to be there.
This doesn't help since I need to buy more materials and what if the contractors aren't available anytime soon to go back to the store with you or any other reasons. Spent 30 minutes with the store manager ** and even offered to take the items back and find a use for them and they can keep the store credit and was told if I did that, it would be theft. Extremely rude. I called customer service and explained the situation and asked "If Lowe's prevents its customers from transferring store credits to someone else, what happens if the customer loses the card, can Lowe's find it in their system and re-issue it?" The answer was "It's treated as cash, if you lose it then it's on you." Not so treated as cash if you can't give it to someone else. Bunch of BS.
Home Depot has a similar policy but they were straight on their answers so you know what to expect. Unfortunately, I have to drive an extra 3 miles for a Home Depot rather than going to the Lowe's across the street. Last of my business with them.

I ordered a Washing Machine on Lowe’s.com as it was late at night and my washer had just gone out. To my surprise, my order confirmation stated that my new washer would be delivered the next day between 7 am and 9 pm!!! I was excited! The order confirmation also stated that I would get a call narrowing down the delivery time to a two hour period. I did get that call, stating my delivery would be between 930 am and 1130 am the next day.
The next day comes, I wait, and wait and wait, it’s finally 12:30 pm, I get a call from our local Lowe’s store calling to let me know that they do not have our washing machine in stock. What??? I asked the lady why it was then that I got 2 confirmations that delivery was scheduled for today. She replied in a very smart tone, “Who did you get a confirmation from?” So I explain... She then replies that she doesn’t know what happened and that they just don’t have the washer in stock. I asked her when they would get one in, and she said she didn’t know. She then looked up on her computer and said they were getting a delivery, but didn’t know when it would be there.
At this point, I’m fuming... How can you tell customers a delivery is scheduled and just never show up. She blamed it on the fact that they partner with an outside delivery service and their calls are automated. WHAT??? Makes no sense. The only way the delivery company knows to make a delivery is if Lowe’s tells them it. And be delivered. She had no response. Absolutely No Apology. So I just sit and wait for them to contact me back to let me know when the washer will be delivered.
Then about 3 hours later I get a call from the delivery company (automated call) asking me how my delivery went. What the heck... so I leave a message that the delivery never happened, and got a recorded message stating that someone would be in touch with me soon... 12:26 pm the day after my washer was to be delivered, I’ve heard nothing from Lowe’s nor the delivery company. Cancelling my order, I will go elsewhere!

All Lowe's stores have a loading area close to the store that is intended for customers who are ready to load purchases into their vehicles. Most of the Lowe's stores I have seen even have signs posted, "No Parking. Loading Area Only", or words to that effect. Nonetheless, there are those customers who care only about themselves and use the loading area to park while shopping inside the store. This is especially true at the Lowes's store in Belmont, NC. I have repeatedly spoken to the employees, department managers, and 2 different store managers at this store about the situation but they've done nothing to rectify it.
When I shopped there, I was forced to wait, and wait, and wait, for the loading area to clear so that I could load. Many of those PARKED in the loading area often came out of the store with NO PURCHASES, or with a plastic bag or two. I did find a solution, however. Starting about 16 months ago, I now shop at Home Depot where store management has respect for my time. During this 16 month period, I've spent over $15,000 for various projects and pleased to say that not a penny went to Lowe's. Good riddance!!!

I placed an online order with Lowe's. I do this every time I have to buy something from them. Usually I pick up my order but this time they had to deliver it to me. I ordered on March 3rd and they said it would be delivered on March 24th and that I would receive an email with the 2 hour delivery window. The day before Friday, March 23rd I received the email stating my delivery window was Noon to 4:00 p.m. (some 2 hour window). I waited all day for the delivery. At 6:30 p.m. I called Lowe's dispatch to see where my order was. They put me on hold and after waiting several minutes, I heard a recording saying press 1 if you want to leave a review. OK, so I hang up and call back. The woman on the phone says you have reached the corporate office. I said I don't know how when I called the same exact number. She wouldn't offer to transfer or anything so I hung and dialed again. I get back to where I was.
The woman tells me her manager said my order didn't make it on the truck for delivery and that there were some items that were unavailable. I said, "so let me get this straight, I ordered 2 weeks ago and you guys wait until the 11th hour to tell me some items were unavailable?" I told her that I waited all day and not even receive a courtesy call to let me know my order didn't make it on the truck was totally unacceptable. I told her I wanted a discount and I wanted to be the first delivery on Sunday as I couldn't waste another day waiting and I wanted the manager, Christine, to call me back to confirm this. Two minutes after having hung up with her, I get an email stating that my payment didn't go through so the order could not be processed.
I call the customer service number provided in the email and speak to Jack. I advised him that they ran the payment on March 22nd and is pending in my bank account. He said that the bank was holding the funds for some reason and they needed to be released (he was saying maybe because of fraud). So I hang up with him and call my bank. The bank rep advised that Lowe's submitted the authorization for $595.14 on March 22nd and today they were submitting another payment for $543.
So instead of Christine just issuing us a $53 credit, she tried to process the full $543 amount and it wouldn't go through. The bank rep also stated that Lowe's would have to issue a cancellation of the $595.14 and then process the $543 or just process the credit of $53. So I call Lowe's customer service department back (now it's 7:40 p.m.) and spoke to a gentlemen who tells me that the authorization from March 22nd was cancelled at 7:39:29 tonight and that is why my order wasn't processed. I said, "You don't make sense."
My order was processed on March 22nd and was supposed to be delivered today between Noon and 4:00 p.m. And dispatch never once mentioned payment as an issue. They said it wasn't put on the truck for delivery. We decided to do a 3 way call with the bank to fix the issue. We waited for over 40 mins for a bank rep to answer our call but never did because now it's 8:30 p.m. and they closed at 8. The Lowe's rep made it sound like it was the Bank who cancelled the authorization when in fact the bank rep made it clear that Lowe's would have to submit a cancellation of the $595.14.
The Lowe's rep would not set up delivery or acknowledge that they screwed up. They are trying to make it seem like I didn't get my order because of my payment. I tried calling my local Lowe's to speak to a manager at 8:51 p.m. and they already had their "we're closed" recording on. Really? You close at 9:00 p.m. not 8:51 p.m. After I get this problem rectified, I will never step foot in their establishment again. I have overlooked a lot of their flaws but this won't be one of them.

That we never received any call so that we could GET ON WITH OUR LIVES and decide perhaps we should reschedule?

I found two large refrigerators that would fit my space and budget and then spent 30 minutes looking/waiting for a sales associate (the appliance area isn't that big).
Two employees not on the clock paged a young female associate who had seen me earlier in the dishwasher section. When I asked for her help to print the specs and pricing on the suite of products she told me she wasn't sure the printer had enough paper. However, she kindly provided me with the model numbers of the two refrigerators I selected and suggested I print the suite of products at home.

We bought a set of appliances (5 pieces) including fridge (Samsung) and dishwasher (Bosch) with extended warranty in 2012. In 2013 my stainless-steel fridge's door started to rust in multiple places (10-20 different spots). We called Lowe’s, after some long waits we convinced them to exchange the fridge (took a few months). They did exchange the fridge but said, “You would not have extended warranty on this new fridge as you used it for the exchange.” Although it did not make sense to us, we accepted it. Since then there have not had any problem with the fridge. It was 4 months ago, our dishwasher started to not to wash dishes as well as it used to. All the dishes started to come out really dirty.
We called Lowe’s and we set up an appointment, a guy came in a month to evaluate the problem and then setup another appointment to replace a part after another 2 weeks. He came and replaced the part, which did not fix the issue. He said he would call us to come back and fix it again, but never came back. After 2-3 weeks, we called Lowe’s. They sent another guy (Bosch service guy). He came and evaluated the problem and said he would come with parts in 2-3 weeks to fixed it, he came with no parts. He said 2 of 3 parts were back ordered, 3rd part came but it is not the right part. He mentioned he would come back in 2 weeks and fix it. Last week he came to change a part, but he could not find the part in the service vehicle, and said he would came back for yesterday, he never called us and never showed up either.
Long story short, we have paid extended warranty for it, our machine is still under warranty, we have been trying to get it fixed for about 4 months, but it has never been fixed. We use this machine every day as we have kids in our house. This was one of the worst experience of my life, when you combine it with our earlier experience with the same company there is a pattern here, sorry to say that but that is the truth.

After order the dryer online, need to schedule a home delivery, however I can never reach out the delivery department via phone. Phone connection always drop after 30+ mins wait. Finally I was able to schedule the delivery date a week later, but when the day come, no one show up for the delivery. Go thru another terrible phone communication with Lowe’s. After more than 30+ minutes phone waiting, finally I was able to reach the operator. Guess what, they need to re-schedule the delivery date a week later due to some unknown reason. Now, after 2+ weeks of online purchase, I still don't know when my dryer will show up at my front door. Conclusion: I have enough with Lowe's. I should not, will not doing any business with the company with such bad customer service and management practice.

The product consisted of two garment hooks, that you'd hang in the bathroom or a closet. BOTH were defective, as could be seen by simply looking at them closely and seeing that the little screws to hold the hooks in place didn't screw in properly. The fact that both hooks had the same issue says something about Lowe's QA. But OK, these things happen. Here's where it gets astoundingly bad. I look up my order online to see how to return it. It's not apparent so I call Lowe's. Even though I bought the product online, they INSIST that the only way to return their defective product is to go to one of their stores!!! Even though I bought them online! Lowe's said that's because the product was "special order."
No, I bought the hooks off their website, what appeared to be normal products with normal product numbers. Tried talking to a manager, no luck. Hey, Lowe's: I bought these hooks online because your stores are not convenient for me. I'm having to return them not because I changed my mind but because THEY'RE DEFECTIVE. I've been buying stuff online for 15+ years. Sometimes you have the OPTION of return products to the vendor's brick and mortar store, but the vendor insisting that's the only way to return something you bought online? Nope! Clearly Lowe's doesn't understand the basics of e-commerce or customer service. I won't be back!

Hi, I purchased a pergola along with chairs and table for my backyard on 02/28/18, I was subsequently delivered 3 items instead of 4 with the Pergola missing , I signed on the papers stating the three items, I kept on checking for the missing piece and was told that it was delivered to me and that it had my signed receipt. After a lot of follow up it was found that the shipment was indeed not delivered to me and that the signed paper was not true. Someone from the delivery company had just scribbled a name on the delivery receipt. The duty manager took a lot of effort in tracking the shipments and delivered it safely to me after a while but, beware before signing any items you receive, if possible take a picture of the document you sign on.

Called Lowe’s about drawer slide on my 41” tool chest twice while it was still under warranty the part never arrived after three months, due to the top drawing not being able to close or lock the chest tipped over when being moved the chest probably weighted with tools in both upper and lower chest over 1000 lbs and nearly fell on me and both tool boxes were damaged to the point of rendering them is useless. I had called to file a complaint received a reference number and direct phone number of one of the Lowe’s reps and was told I would receive a call back the next day. I never did, I left three messages over the last 2 weeks and never received a callback, I called numerous other numbers and have been on perpetual hold and never have been able to speak to anyone else.
If the original part that I order was ever ordered or shipped after three months I would have never had this tragedy happen and wasted 1000 this piece of junk toolbox that looks nice but has been nothing but trouble. I probably lost 1000 of tools due to being damaged when the box tipped over things like meters gauges, laser levels etc... I have been a loyal Lowe’s customer over the years and have bought numerous tools and building material, I will never buy another Lowe’s product ever again, good companies stand behind their products. Lowe’s has done nothing but prove they hide when there is a problem and just pass the buck. Something as serious as a 1000 lb toolbox almost falling in their customer. I cannot even get a return call says everything I need to know about a company. Everyone should do themselves a favor and don’t buy a Lowe’s product as this has been one of the worst experiences of my life as a consumer!!

I have ordered multiple appliance from Lowe's on Feb 3rd and one of the appliance was damaged and it has been 6+ weeks and still I don't have my appliance. For the last 4 days I have been contacting Lowe's every day and talking to the delivery service and every day I have been told that someone will reach out to me and provide an update. The delivery service is terrible and don't take any ownership to contact the customer back. I also sent them 3 emails asking for the status on delivery and mentioned in my email that I need the item on Mar 17th to be delivered.
When I contacted again they told me that the item will be delivered only on Mon Mar 19th. I live in Charlotte and can't travel to Charleston to accept the delivery of my appliance on a weekdays. Not sure why it is so hard to get my own appliance from Lowe's delivered on the day when I need it even after 6 weeks.

DC Lowe’s STINKS! Don’t shop at this store, they don’t have anything in stock, have no clue to what they are doing and won’t even bother to answer the phone. We purchased 3 Kohler toilets, 2 Kohler pedestal sinks and a 60” vanity. Our bill came to over $1700. The person helping us told us that we could save 5% if we used our Lowe’s card and that they would pay our Lowe’s card with our debit card and then put on the new charges on the paid Lowe’s card. Big mistake. We made a $1600 payment and then got declined. Oops, it takes several days for a payment to post. The manager got involved and agreed to order the vanity and said they would call Monday morning to redo the payment – the remaining items were to be picked up by our contractor Monday morning. You guessed right, no call Monday morning. I call and call and finally get a hold of customer service. The payment still has not posted.
Tuesday morning we get a call telling us our delivery from Lowe’s is at our house. We are in an apartment while we are renovating and had to drive ½ hour to get to the house. Imagine our surprise when there was one toilet being delivered. Especially, when we did not ask for delivery, but we're going to pick it up. I called and found out the other toilets are out of stock. These are the toilets we purchased. The pedestal sinks are still at the store – I guess they only deliver one toilet at a time. This time, I can’t get thru to customer service. I call 17 times in a row, it just rang and rang until the phone disconnected. Finally, I get a callback, but I am in a meeting and don’t answer. A long message is left with a phone number to call and an extension. Guess what – number was to customer service and they don’t answer the phones!
Nor does their system give the option to enter an extension. I get another message on Wednesday evening – again, no answer at customer service. I call Thursday morning and after asking a variety of departments to transfer me to customer service, they answer the phone. I am told that they don’t have the toilets I bought, but they will substitute another toilet. They offer me an American Standard. When I explain how the toilet and pedestal sinks match I get silence and then well, we are offering you an American Standard. After I get mad, I am told that the toilets came in and they do have them. Joy. Now I have to wait until Friday morning for them to be delivered.
Do I have faith that they will be delivered by 10:00 a.m. Friday morning as promised? NO. Did Lowe’s charge me a delivery fee when we requested to pick up the items? YES. Does Lowe’s care? NO. We are supposed to be moving into our house on Friday – movers are already scheduled. We have no sinks or toilets and now have to stop moving so we can install these items. I am furious with Lowe’s and will not shop there again. FYI – I bought a lot of items from Home Depot. No problems, our contractor picked them up and they were ready as promised. Guess where I’ll be shopping from now on.

Ordered KraftMaid cabinets from Lowe’s mid October 2017. They came in mid November 2017. Ordered cherry for the island and white for the wall cabinets. White cabinets were the wrong size. Had told design “expert” we wanted the exact same sizes that were there. The cherry cabinets came in brown, not red. My floors are Brazilian cherry so therefore, red. All cabinets had to go back. Meanwhile, my kitchen had already been gutted. Waited another month. Mid January. Multiple flaws in white cabinets. Edges of doors and drawers fronts not sanded and looked like primer paint only. Lowe’s has KraftMaid reorder door and drawer fronts.
Came in worse with split wood and paint drips. Contractor butchered the sink base cabinet because he mid-measured. Had to reorder. Another month. It is now mid March 2018. Cabinet came in. Contractor takes out ruined sink base cabinet first day back and breaks a water pipe in my house. Imagine all the issues with that. Lowe’s won’t refund our money at this point. Their words. 4 months later I have cabinets sitting all over my house and warped hardwood. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM LOWE’S. Worse service ever! No one calls you back ever. Everyone passes the buck.

Store #2371 in Cypress, TX. I usually enjoy shopping at this store but sadly this is not the first time the following has happened. I was looking at John Deere riding mowers inside the store with intent to buy. There were no salespeople nearby so I continued to examine the models thinking they will ask to help when they see me. Four different employees walked by without ever saying a word. I even sat in a lawn chair, right in front of several models on display, for over 20 minutes looking at information on the mowers of interest and still not one person inquired how they could help. It was not until I walked near the area where two salespeople were stocking mower parts that I was asked if I needed help.
Then, when I asked for information about the mower he said he didn't know anything other than what was on the display sheets. He should have said he would take just a moment to get someone with better knowledge about the equipment. He did NOT. Clearly the employees don't realize that if customers are not helped they may not buy the products, thus the store does not make as much money causing a decrease in staff. Hello, no job!! They seem to think stocking shelves is their primary job but without a purchase being made it won't matter if the shelves are stocked or not. I went to Home Depot and a salesperson went out of his way to track down a department manager to help me in more detail. I realize now why HD is always so busy, when Lowe's just one block away rarely has crowds.

This place has really gone downhill. The store is nice but the customer service is lacking, bordering on rude. The managers are helpful but the front line staff obviously don't want to be there and they take their displeasure out on the customers. Last week, it was a man working in lighting who refused to help me when I was trying to find a lighting fixture. He pointed to a shelf and said, "it's somewhere in there." I asked him if he would help me and he just looked at me. Two days ago, I arrived at the store to pick up baseboard that was listed on the website as in stock. I arrived to find the baseboard still wrapped up on a pallet and store personnel were unable to unwrap it before the store closed. Forced to wait until the next day to pick it up.
Two days later, I purchased plywood and a handful of other things. During checkout, the cashier was unable to find a price tag on the plywood. We looked everywhere and I suggested she call someone to have them do a price check. Instead, she insisted on her and I taking the plywood off the cart to look for a price tag. I assured her there was not a price tag, but she insisted on taking the board off the cart. We removed the plywood and she was not able to hold onto her end and the plywood ended up on the floor. She complained to me that she broke two of her fingernails and that she would not be able to help me pick it up off the floor. After waiting a few minutes, staring at my board on the wet floor, a kind man offered to help me pick up the wood. The cashier then had an attitude with me, still complaining about her fingernails.
I asked if she would write down her name so that I could follow up with a manager later. As she was ringing me up, I let her know I had a military discount. She ignored me and continued scanning the items. I said a second time I had the discount and then she turned to me and said, "too late, I already rang everything up." She said I would have to go to the customer service desk to get the discount. I asked her if she would be willing to go to the customer service desk for me and she refused. I again asked to talk with a manager and the manager was helpful in getting the discount. While he was working on it, I loaded my plywood into my truck and come back into the store. As I was walking out, I asked the cashier again to write her name down and she hollered, "my name is Tiffany."
I loaded up my items in my truck and came back in to follow up with the manager on the discount. As I was walking to the door, I asked the cashier again if she would write her name down. She responded sarcastically, "do you want my stage name or my real name?" I asked her for her real name and she turned away. I took out my phone and told her I would just take a picture of her name tag. She put her hand up, blocking my phone so I hit the record button. She told me I was not allowed to videotape in the store and I said I just wanted her name. When I tried to reposition my phone to get her nametag, she pushed my phone away. I asked her not to touch me and she responded, "do you even have any friends?" I learned later her real name is Karen.

I call Monday and they have no clue about where the fridge is and they sent a survey about how happy I was with delivery!! Really?? I was told by the delivery company that the driver was not following policy and advised me to contact Lowe’s manager to reimburse our company for the money spent for the reservation of the freight elevator and the overtime for our employee waiting for the delivery guy.
So they promised to deliver Monday and the same story happened with a rude driver hanging up on me twice and also Lowe’s customer service was nowhere to be found even when we called for the 5th time and asked for a manager, you can hear him talking with someone but not replying to your phone although we were waiting 18 minutes on the phone then they hung up. So we decided to get a refund and of course everyone is blaming the other for the mismanagement.

Ordered 2 glass sliding doors 11/13/17. Come Jan 2018 I was told some parts were damaged in shipment. So they wanted to wait until all parts are in. Had doors installed in Feb 2018. The installer was a smoker and left 4 butts on my grass. Never asked if it was ok to smoke on my property. As I have dogs and did not need my dogs to be eating the cig butts. He left without saying goodbye for that day nor did he tell me what was not finished. Also all of the parts were not there for the installer to put in my screen door. And caps were missing from the frame but not told about it. He came back when the track was sent to me (as I had to call the window co myself to be sure the track was ordered for the screen door). So the installer came back and installed the track put the screen in and did not fix the rubber part on the screen so bugs would not get in. as I had to tell him to do it.
He also did not notify me that the hook/latch part to lock the screen was not installed. One of the sliding glass doors was not flush with the frame. Had to tell him so he could correct it. Told Lowe's about his lack of communication with me and parts missing after Lowe's telling me all parts were there for the door. Talked to the installation dept about the situation and told them I did not want that installer to come back to put the latch on for the screen. I called the window ceo and he had a rep come out and see what was missing and not completed.
As of right now I am being told someone was out of my house to put the latch on but no one was at my house and was told they called but I did not answer? But I was home. They have lied to me and keep telling me someone is going to call me to set up an appt to fix the latch. And no one calls. I have spoken to at least 5 different people at the store starting with the installation dept to the salesperson to the store manager. And none of them are on my side to get this door latch put on and still waiting for the caps to be put on the door frame. I will take this further and call the Lowe's CEO and the BBB and talk to my attorney about this to get everything done so I can put Lowe's out of my life. Bottom line you are taking your chances by dealing with Lowe's for any type of installation.

In November 2017, they offered me their special 5% off or 18 months free financing if we signed up for their card. We purchased a washer and dryer for $1300. They gave us $1,000 on the card. We opened the card and by January our balance was $200 on the card from the large payments we made on the account in effort to establish good credit. On January 24th, 2018, they decided to close my account as “closed by grantor” because things that were on our credit report... the same things that were on our report when we opened our account and we have had no missed payments on any of our credit lines (which we only have/had two several months before we even considered the Lowe's card).
So not only did they lower our credit with the hard hit to open account, now I'm going to have a “closed by grantor” on my credit for the next 10 years. Minimum payment on the account = $25.00/ what we paid, and never late = 500, 100, 100, etc. paid way before due date. Called Lowe's corporate, the bank they use, the customer service department locally.

I recently purchased a Whirlpool washing machine from Lowe’s. It has started to shake really bad on spin cycles, and it also goes haywire with continuing to do extra rinse cycles, to the point that I have to unplug it and plug it back up to reset. I have a 5 year warranty on it. So they send out a repair technician to fix the washer. He comes out and makes the assessment. He says that he has to replace the tension rods and the tub because the tub was cracked.
Fast forward a week later and the technician comes back out but said now there is another part that he needs to order before he can fix it, so he comes back out a week later and takes up 3 hrs of my time replacing the parts. Later that evening I run the washer and it’s doing the same thing so I call Lowe’s and tell them that I want another washing machine because I have a warranty and obviously this one can’t be fixed so then the lady tells me that I will have to allow him to come out one more time and attempt to fix it. Why won’t they just honor the warranty and give me a new washing machine. This is some of the worst customer service I have ever dealt with for any company. I guess I’ll be switching over to Home Depot and see if they are anymore customer friendly.

The truck drivers unloading refused to use their forklift to drop the pallets along the street, were obnoxious about my request and said the store told them to deliver to only one house! Not only did this cause a logjam on the street, but we had to hire four yard workers for three days at a cost of $1,500 to help wheelbarrow the mulch off the pallets and to the houses! My calls to the store [nobody answers their phones] did nothing and complaining to their corporate did nothing either. My experience with Lowe's is that their internal communications is terrible, they do not follow through on promises and don't care about resolving problems!

Mysteries and escape rooms are so much fun; I love a good challenge, but finding the right people to fix my brand new dryer has been quite an unwanted adventure. So here is my story: I was so excited about my new washer and dryer. Being a school teacher is hard work with little pay and I had managed to save up to buy a new washer and dryer - no more trips to the laundromat where I had been physically assaulted. I had to wait to install the units while I finished drywalling my kitchen. So for two months I drooled looking at the unopened boxes. Finally the big day arrived and upon opening the dryer, there was a massive dent so bad that the tumble would not even spin. I called Lowe's and they kindly said they would replace. Awesome - whew no big deal.
Everything was going great until two months later - the dryer gave me an f10 error message. I called Whirlpool, since the 1 year warranty is with them, and proceeded to jump hoops. The gent kindly asked for a serial number. I gladly looked where he said they would be...nothing. He sent a guy out and even the repairman could not find the numbers. He said call Lowe's, so I did. I decided that calling may not be the best, so I walked in directly and spoke to the nice service desk lady. At this point all is going well. She calls her manager - he says, "No problem, we will just pick it up and deliver a new one"; she says, "Someone will call you about scheduling a pick up and delivery". I go home...relief.
After 4 days, I received no call. I call Lowe's and ask if I can make the appointment since no one called back to schedule a pick up. This time I was speaking to another manager, and she asked why I needed a pick up...this is where it all goes downhill. Her attitude was cold and mean. She accused me of taking the numbers off. I said, "Lady, I don't take tags off of my clothing half the time, why would I take the tag off of my dryer?" (Trying to joke.) After much back and forth I finally said, "Look I just want a dryer that works - I tried to go to Whirlpool direct, your management team agreed to pick it up." She said they would have an expert from Lowe's call me.
I spoke with the service expert; he was the best person I have talked to during the whole ordeal - kind and totally understood my scenario. I took pictures, he was baffled that there was no serial number. He told me to call Lowe's in Chapel Hill and have them print out a new set. So back to Lowe's I went and this time I took a male friend. He also explained the same scenario to management, except this time he walked back to the exact floor model and asked her to show him where the serial numbers are located. Guess what? She couldn't find them. It just so happened that a Whirlpool expert was at the store. She brought him over, he looked, and looked, and looked. Finally after all of us looked, the numbers were found; you had to pull out the water reservoir.
Awesome - I went home. There they were. Lowe's called a tech who called me. They set up a time - 2 weeks was the only appointment they had. OK - I can do another two weeks. Two weeks, and they came and said, "Yep you need a new motherboard, but we don't have one - we will." Have to order and reschedule. Another two weeks has passed and no one calls. I call and they say it's on backorder. All this time, I'm concerned about my measly 1 year warranty that is slowly passing by. I haven't even hardly used the product and they are just dragging their feet. No sorry - nothing. I have done more than most customers would. I have kept me cool but this is wrong and something should be done.

A company the size of Lowe's has inexcusably awful delivery practices. People reschedule their lives to be available for delivery of appliances. If one of the delivery vehicles Lowes employs breaks down, there should be a mechanism to replace it immediately, obviating the need for the customer to disrupt their lives a second time. Lowe's should operate on the convenience of the customer, not the other way around. The promise to call between 6 and 9 PM the night before delivery to provide a window of time for delivery has NEVER happened. There are many other appliance stores. This experience has caused me to rethink where I will shop for major appliances.

I bought a set of kitchen appliance from Lowe's back in Nov 2017 with a delivery date of Dec 15, 2017. On Dec 14, 2017 they pushed the delivery date out to the last week of January. It is now Feb 14 2018 and I have NOT received my appliances. Since I had not heard from the store I decided to walk in and ask for status on my appliances. One manager said sorry but, but. I asked to speak to the store manager thinking the problem was going to get fixed. To my surprise the store manager pushed out the delivery date to mid March. I explained to store manager (Matthew) I could no longer go without a refrigerator that I have been waiting for over 4 months. The store manager said they would loan us a fridge in the meantime and it would get delivered the next day.
So trusting the store manager's words we went grocery shopping that day. Then the next day came and went and never heard from Mathew and here I am with groceries everywhere but no fridge. I called the store. Left message for Mathew because he was in a meeting, 2hrs went by so I called him again. To my surprise the fridge they were going to loan us was pushed out another day. But, to top it off Lowe's credit card is charging us late fees and interest on the appliances we don't even have. I have spent well over 10,000 in merchandise and after this I will NEVER buy at Lowe's.

Major three bathroom renovation. Three week project started in July, 2017, not completed until the end of October, 2017. From day one damaged product delivered, wrong product delivered, missing parts. Four different project coordinators over the course of the renovation. Wrong paint used in all three bathrooms (flat not eggshell) and after the fact in contacting the designer at Lowe's Middletown, NY, (540) the response was to use a "magic eraser". The first three weeks the contractor was on premises, but had to leave as we waited for products. Two months later finally got the contractor back and it still took another month to complete. I would never recommend the renovation team. There were too many other issues to put all in here including filing complaints with the store about all of the above. Buyer beware.

May of 2016 Went to Lowe’s to talk about remodeling kitchen, the Lowe’s salesman kept putting off the date to start, because he was going to school for being a Home Advisor, I would be his 1st Customer. In Oct. paid 75.00. They require for down payment, he had said off his head he thought it would cost about 16,000. In Dec went in to pay for installation to begin Jan. 1st completed Jan 3rd. They started the end of Jan. I had purchased appliances from USAA. They were delivered the 26th of 2016. As of today Feb 12th the job is not completed after contacting Lowe’s Corporate Center, They had 4 different managers come out and take pictures and said they would get right on it. I now have 5 big boxes in my living room and one outside the door, too big to haul inside. Was promised yet again the week of the 5th they would have it completed which is 2018. They have not showed up.
I paid 33,000 for this job plus 4,000 for appliances. This Home advisor did not show a virtual design of the kitchen, just said it would be out of the world project. Instead of getting more cabinet space, got less. Told him I wanted a Marble Floor, because I loved shininess, didn't get it. Countertop did not like. He had said he was going to try to get a kitchen designed like mine to showcase. And wanted to show it on Pinterest. The ceiling they took the popcorn off is awful, I ask him what he thought and he said my little girls could do better than this. But did not do anything about it. All that took pictures said it was badly done. I am in ill health and disgusted. Someone would take advantage the way this salesman did. I told him when they first started they were putting cabinets over holes in the wall that was to be plyboard first, soon to be 2 yrs of telephone, Lowe’s coming over but nothing done. This is a small kitchen!

July 2017 I purchased a washer/dryer from Lowe's Home Improvement Hendersonville NC. Delays with house construction made deliver in January 2018. I was excited to get the last of the appliances delivered. Dryer came with a long scratch on the side and upon mentioning it to the delivery crew, bam instant 10% off my bill. Wasn't expecting that, I just wanted it noted on the form I was signing. Next few days I was 3 loads of clothes. Each time the dispenser cups were full to the top after each load. Maytag tech came out and first thing he ask me "where's the cover for the dispenser drawer?" There wasn't one with the washer when delivered.
Then I told him how filthy the dispenser cups were when I received the washer. He did some checking with serial numbers, etc and found both the washer and dryer were used! Bought NEW appliances, Lowe's delivered USED. Lowe's was quick to pick them back up and very apologetic, at the time. Bought new on sale in July. Lowe's claimed these units never sold NEW for the price we paid. After much discussion with Clint, Store Manager, he gave me an allowance of $799 each to select and buy new ones.
Either knowingly or unfortunately there were no appliances in that price range other than what I had originally purchased. And so I agreed to take replacements for exactly what I purchased in July 2017. Basically, I was getting what I was supposed to get but after waiting for first delivery, pickup on used appliances, in store frustration with Clint for 2.5 hours, promises of a Saturday delivery only to again wait and get a call from Lowe's Saturday AM that they couldn't deliver that day. Now I'm again with managers trying to figure out what the problem is and promised the appliances would be acquired from another Lowe's and delivered Monday. Monday arrived and delivery truck here.
I went out to inspect that everything was NEW in manufacture boxes, etc. Well, wouldn't you know it Lowe's was delivering me the wrong appliances from another manufacturer even. I was told that Whirlpool bought out Maytag and that model is no longer available. Opened my computer and pulled up Maytag and Whirlpool websites. Well well, there are a number of places you can still buy my appliances, including Home Depot and Best Buy. So I refuse the delivery since like most people I want what I purchased, not another appliance, or different color, or another manufacturer.
So, now the NonStock washer Dyer I purchased July 2017 are called NonStock and have to be special ordered. To be delivered sometime in the future. In the meantime aside from all my frustration and wasted time for deliveries, removal, Maytag Tech, and someday re-delivery, I'm without a washer and dryer that has been paid for since July 2017. All this to just get what I paid for to start with. I hear this is common practice for Lowe's.
Updated on 02/18/2018: FEBRUARY 16, 2017. While running errands in Lowe's in Hendersonville NC today I decided to swing by the Appliance section. In January 2018 Clint **, store manager Lowe's Arden, NC gave me an allowance of $799 to select new washer/dryer because Lowe's delivered USED appliances pretending they were new but Maytag Service Tech confirmed they were used. In January Clint ** claimed he was too busy to meet me at our agreed upon time in the appliance dept. or at any time within the 2.5 hours I was there saying to get this matter settled. Instead the sales clerk had to make several calls, in store to him. When I'd stand my ground of the issue Clint **, store manager became gruff and short saying he was doing me a favor. Clint **, manager, made a $799 allowance each to replace both washer and dryer. There were no other replacements within $799.at that time.
Begrudgingly and without any compensation I had no choice but to have Lowe's, reorder my original models purchased with the understanding they'd be delivered within a week. That was 5 weeks ago. At that point I was DONE WITH LOWE'S and wanted an equitable settlement to complete our business so I'd never have to deal with Clint ** or Lowe's again, I could have waited for another sale and then taken him up on the allowance but I required a washer dryer right then so I had to settle for my prior choice.
Today, February 16, 2018, in the Lowe's, Hendersonville, NC store I found the exact washer dryer I was insisting Clint **, store manager Lowe's Arden, NC accept as replacements for my original purchase back in January 2017, to compensate and make me whole after the serious issues Lowe's caused. When I found the upgraded washer dryer today in the Hendersonville store for the price of $749 each, that was well below the agreed allowance Clint made in January. I called Clint right away but again he was obnoxious, rude, authoritative and absolutely refused to honor his original agreement. He said he was doing me a favor as it was, REALLY? what favor? I was asking is for him to honor the agreement made in January. He has absolutely ZERO positive customer service skills and spoke gruff and condescending in all conversations with him.
I'm a senior and don't appreciate some young fellow trying to bully me into going away. Our phone call was lengthy, extremely frustrating, and totally unnecessary. All Clint ** had to do was honor his $799 allowance made in January and acquire the ones I wanted at $749. My position was that I have been seriously inconvenienced, had received ZERO compensation for Lowe's issues, and had tolerated Clint's attitude. These washer dryers at the Hendersonville, NC store are available for me to have NOW. The ones on order still had not been delivered and no date in sight. And in all fairness to me there should be no question and Lowe's needs to acquire the $749 washer dryer at Hendersonville, NC Store. I will not be further penalized or belittled by Clint **. He and Lowe's need to step up and do the right thing. I will accept nothing less than receiving the $749 washer dryer from Hendersonville, NC or warehouse.
PS, since I didn't back down and take Clint's no for an answer he threatened to just refund my money. That would have been ok except I bought our washer dryer on sale back in July. A refund now would put me at a severe financial disadvantage in acquiring replacements, not to mention zero compensation for all this craziness Clint has caused. Lowe's is not being reasonable in the least. All this frustration would have stopped then. But, CLINT with his attitude refuses to offer good customer service and in fact it appears he derives personal satisfaction by yielding an authoritative attitude, I'll tell you what you can or can't have, I hold that power not you. In fact, I see this as a pattern, not just through our conversations, but through comments regarding him from a number of staff.
February 16, in lengthy conversation with Clint all I kept saying and insisting was that he honor his $799 allowance and acquire the now upgraded models for $749, well below his allowance. Had I waited back in January this would have been the outcome, as 5 weeks later. This would have stopped all the problems and brought closure to a very upsetting and frustrating issue. But, Clint refuses to honor his original $799 allowance. During our conversations he was consistently rude and spoke over me numerous times when it was something he didn't agree with. Clint has pushed me over the top and now in addition to writing reviews, all this correspondence and further detail will be submitted directly to Lowe's Corporation. So, Mr. Clint **, I hope corporate hears this loud and clear.

My husband and I went to purchase carpet for a 18' x 12' room. Because of the military discount we went to Lowe's. Initially no one was available to speak with us. This was on a Friday. We looked around and found a STAINMASTER carpet we liked and wanted to purchase. We rang the button and soon someone showed up. We explained that we have an empty room and wanted to have it carpeted as soon as possible. We asked what the scheduling was like and would it be possible to get this done in approximately 1 week. The man explained that this was an excellent time to so this as they were not busy yet (until tax returns).
I showed him my dimensions of the rectangular room and he said that regardless, they required someone to measure the room. Of course this cost additional money and time. In addition they charged me because my baseboards might be old since the house was built in 1975. I explained that the house had been remodeled in 2011 including baseboards and carpeting. He said he was still required to charge me $2.00. The guy that came out and measured my room had the exact same measurements that I had 18' x 12'. He told me that a Project Manager would be assigned and I should call or stop by after 48 hours and by then we should receive our proposal. This was on a Monday.
We called Thursday morning to ensure someone would be there to help us before going to the store. They assured us someone would be there to help after 11:00am. When we got there and pushed the button to get help, the associate showed up and proceeded to try and help. He found paperwork with our names on them. The proposals were blank except for our names and the 2 different room sizes they were suggesting. One proposal showed 35' x 12' and the other one showed 18' x 15'. Other than that the pages were blank. And unfortunately our project manager that they had assigned was off that day. Almost an entire week had already gone by and I still didn't have a cost or a time frame (since the carpet had to ship from Georgia). This was the second time I tried to buy this 18' x 12' carpet and was turned away.
At this point I realized that additional hidden costs were going to start adding up quickly. The list so far: a measurement I already knew, a Project Manager that would input a few numbers (that would include his cost and any other items he felt necessary), then a delivery fee (probably expedited since it hadn't been ordered yet). Outrageous! I spoke to a Store Manager who listened, acknowledged that they had not tried to do what they had said, but made no attempt to keep my business. I left there knowing that I would never consider using them for a project.
The following day (Friday) we went to another flooring company. We selected the carpet, they allowed us to waive the measuring, and we paid for the carpet all at once. The man helping us called the carpet company located in Georgia and assured that it was in stock and could you put it on the next truck. Thursday we arranged installation and on Saturday the carpet was beautifully installed. One week and one day from purchase. Also we only paid for the purchase of an 18' x 12' carpet. The company also upgraded the padding to the top of line padding for free. Lowe's would have charged me more money for less service!

I've had the worst experience with Lowes and my carpet purchase. It's been 3.5 weeks since I began my quest to buy carpet. I waited for a room measurement, which I provided them with. I waited for the order to come in, took 9 days. Then I waited for the install call. Next, I waited for the date to come when they did the install. Once they came, a contractor was painting in a closet and the subcontractor that was supposed to install the carpet left without saying a word. Called me later in the afternoon to reschedule what I thought was already installed and guess what they said. Another week.
After going through the manager (Elroy) I was promised I would be called back in the morning. No calls, I called Lowe's again. Was told the person was too busy for 4 straight hours to return my phone call, and that the install was going to now be a day longer than what I was told the day before. I guess Lowe's doesn't care about losing 2k carpet orders. This took place at the Rim store in San Antonio and with the subcontractor Angell's flooring. Terrible customer service and I will not be returning to Lowe's. I will shop at Home Depot from this point forth and even wait longer for my carpet because I will not reward Lowe's a single penny of my money.

I wish I could do no stars for Lowes. In 2012 I wanted to get laminate flooring installed in my 2 story house. I was getting the lower level done first. They had laminate for 79 cents a square foot. I was suspicious so I asked if it was bad and why it was so cheap. I was told it was bought in bulk and was excellent laminate. I asked the guy if he was sure because my budget was tight and I said this can't go wrong once my carpet was ripped out or I would not be able to afford anything else. He convinced me so I bought it and scheduled an install. Well AFTER my carpet was ripped up the installers told me that the laminate was so bad they wouldn't install it. It was cheap, terrible laminate. I was sooooo pissed so I called Lowes and after much fighting with them they priced matched me with the cheapest Pergo they had.
The manager whose name was Jeff told me if I ever did my upstairs they would also price match me. I asked him to write that in the system and he said he did. Well fast forward to today. I called to get some laminate for my upstairs and oh guess what? They (rudely) said they would not honor that. John in flooring who I spoke with said - and I quote "If I gave a discount for every sob story I heard..." WOW is that how you talk to customers? Unbelievable! Also - it's good to know they don't honor what they say. Also - I said that I am sure prices change etc and if they couldn't match to 79 cents a square foot - that any discount would be acceptable - NOT EVEN THAT! John talked over me, condescended to me, and was basically accusing me of lying even after he looked my account up in their system.
I'm so unbelievably pissed off that they will not in any way honor what they said after they made the mistake AND that I was spoken to like that. Don't trust a thing they say - go anywhere else - I have spent a LOT of money at Lowes over the last 6 years and it all means nothing. They don't give a crap - they will say anything to make a sale and leave you totally screwed over and do nothing about it. I will be making a complaint to their corporate offices again - and hopefully they will be forced to honor what they said they would honor.

I would give no stars for this if it were possible. We waited until November to begin our kitchen renovation because everyone told us to wait for Black Friday sales during that month... "Best deals out there!" What a huge mistake. We ordered 4 appliances totaling $3800. The savings were substantial and we were happy with the projected delivery dates (ranging 2-4 week waits). Unfortunately, it has now been 13 weeks, and we only have the dishwasher. The delivery dates come and go, repeated calls are made, and all we get is excuses from managers saying the online ordering system leaves them in the dark with no communication to the store about where our orders are or when we will get them. The Lowe's Customer Care line is no help... After a lot of waiting on hold, they just end up calling the store managers, who have no answers. We are really disgusted.
It appears our only choice is to reorder them from Home Depot, who have them ALL in stock and ready for delivery, but we will NOT get any of the Black Friday sale discounts! Our mistake of choosing Lowe's is costing us $627.29 more! We are disgusted with Lowe's terrible online ordering process and lack of customer service. If we had ordered from Home Depot during the sales, the savings would have been the same without this aggravation. We have been loyal Lowe's customers for years, but at this point, we will never shop there again. This has been just ridiculous.

This kitchen backsplash install took three months to complete due to VERY poor workmanship on the initial install. Every time a call was made to the third party they would either not return the calls or would schedule a two-week-out service to look at, fix, or finish an item. Lowe's would call the third party and sometimes the services would respond. On the initial install the electrical to the kitchen was out due to a tripped GF outlet that the installer had crossed wires inside the electric box. They left it that way. The tiles were jutting out in numerous areas, missing grout, and uneven in other areas. Numerous appointments were made to repair all the above. THREE months for what originally was a one day job!

Do NOT use Lowe's for your home renovation! You will regret it! I know I do! I used Lowe's Installation Sales to complete a kitchen renovation. 6 months after the completion of the renovation the toe molding at the base of our cabinets started to peel and chip paint. Under our warranty the material was to be reordered and reinstalled. I contacted Lowe's to address the issue and was put in touch with Installation Sales through email, however I did not receive a response. I sent three emails over the course of a month before I received a response from the Lowe's team. A month after my original email the material was ordered, but would take another three weeks before it would be delivered.
7 weeks later, I rearranged my scheduled to ensure that I would be home to sign for the product. The material that was delivered to our home was incorrect. I waited 7 weeks for the wrong material! I called Lowe's Installation Sales to speak with a supervisor. I told him that the wrong material had been delivered and that I was not confident that the team member I was assigned was able to handle my request (a VERY simple one-2 pieces of 8ft toe molding). Instead of handling my concern (as I feel a supervisor should do) he passed me back to the employee that didn’t respond to my emails for a month and then had the wrong product ordered and delivered.
The product was reordered, but this time it was delivered to the store. I never received an email or phone call notifying me that the material had been delivered-I had to call and ask. I was told that the material had been delivered and we were ready to proceed with the installation. Then 5 days later I receive a call from Lowe's saying that the material was damaged and would have to be reordered for the third time! I began this conversation with Lowe's on 11/7 and on 1/24, 3 months later the product was finally delivered and installed. I had a conversation with a Lowe's Installation Sales team member and expressed how disappointed I was in my experience with Lowe's. I asked to be compensated for the 3 months of headaches. They gave me very little compensation on a Lowe's gift card that I had to go pick up from the store. I was told that this is what they deemed to be fair.
Please do NOT give them your business. You will be doing more work to get your renovation completed than they will, trust me! You will send many emails only for them to go unanswered, and you will call and speak to at least three different people before you get a competent one. Don’t bother asking to speak to a supervisor because they are not helpful! My experience with Lowe's has been unacceptable. Even worse, Lowe's does not seem to think that it is unreasonable for their customers to send countless emails, make numerous phone calls, wait 7 weeks for incorrect material and 9 weeks for damaged material to be delivered. If you use Lowe's for your home renovation expect to wait at least 12 weeks before any concern is resolved.

They never contacted me so I called the store and they said they didn't have the dishwasher and never sold it.
I asked them to replace the dishwasher with an equal model for the same price and they refused. I asked them why they advertising something they didn't sell. They offered to sell me one at retail with 10% off. I wanted them to honor what they had advertised. I consequently went online and ordered multiple dishwashers (same model) from other Lowe's stores that advertised they had them only to find out they didn't. I then started receiving emails advertising dishwashers for sale. They are dishonestly advertising products they don't have and in some instances never had that they don't honor.

On Friday, I was told that Saturday would be my delivery date. Saturday morning, I was told to be at home 11 until 2. No call no show # 3. Called the installation office and was told the installation had been delayed to Monday. Needless to say, I went to get my money back. I was not reimbursed for my time off of work and I didn't get the 100 dollar gift card promised. But I don't need that because I will never do business with this company again. One good customer lost and nobody cared. Well goodbye.

Two years ago, I decided to remodel my small kitchen and went to Lowe's for help with design and installation. Mistake! After a month we finally had a plan in place and items ordered. The gutting went well. The installation took 3 months to complete (parts unordered, incorrect or, not available, warped, whatever). They refused to paint saying it wasn't ordered--It was on my contract--finally done at their cost. Many calls to the manager and designer produced roadblocks. Started in April. Finally finished in late June. Nope. Within a few months, the crown molding came away from the ceiling. More calls--materials arrived finally and 6 weeks later, the installation crew arrive, tore out the molding, replaced it. Guess what. As soon as the heat went back on, it has come away again. A half inch gap has appeared again.
And, just in case you're wondering, this was a $45,000 project. I can't believe the astronomical cost! And it's still not finished! I would never recommend Lowe's for a remodel again. Never! Ever! I trusted them and they failed miserably!

Twice in recent months, I have experienced poor service with Lowe's. First, they cancelled an order of appliances, with no explanation, and no apologies. After wasting time on the phone with them and getting nowhere, I went back to the store that I ordered from. Still no explanation, but they were happy to reorder for me (wasting more of my time). Today, I order more appliances from them online, they too have been cancelled. The lady tells me this time, they don't have anymore and they will not receive anymore. Then don't sell it to me!! Don't advertise prices for items that you cannot fulfill! Again, no apology, just a rude lady telling me, that they didn't sell it to me since I have not received it yet! My whole house is being redone from Harvey, and Lowe's will not get one more dime from me! Too bad they have already gotten as much as they did!

Recently I purchased a bathroom sink drain kit from Lowe's, but when I tried to install it, it snapped. I went to the returns desk. I explained what happened and would like to exchange it for a better brand as the one I had was plastic, Chinese made stuff. I was told no, policy is I can't even exchange plumbing parts once they've been installed. I told them to throw it away then and I'll buy a good one someplace else and I left. I learned a valuable lesson to not buy cheap, plastic Chinese made junk if you're trying to do something important and especially at Lowe's as they won't even let you exchange it if it breaks on you.
I noticed that almost all of what they sell is the crappy Chinese stuff. I went shopping for front porch light fixtures at one time and all they sold was Chinese made crap. Another time I looked at their power tools, all Chinese made crap. Bottom line is if you want something with a better than CCC rating (Cheap China Crap), don't shop at Lowe's. They probably don't care they get negative reviews since another sucker comes along every minute, but at least I warned whoever will see this.

We have been loyal Lowe's customers for years. We had a large project refinishing our basement after huge amounts of water damage, so we ordered our supplies from Lowe's. We needed 2x4's, rock wool insulation and drywall. All told we had to cover over 1000 square feet so it was not a small amount of anything. We set up the delivery, take the days off of work, and they miss the window. Things happen, benefit of the doubt. After repeated calls to delivery customer service they promise my order will arrive that day. Two hours later I am called by the manager of the Culpeper VA Lowe's and told, "No, a customer's order is taking the whole truck and we can't get to you". So I'm angry. It'll be there first thing tomorrow.
Tomorrow comes. The order that took up the whole truck was mine to start with. The wood came warped and half of the bags of insulation looked like the forklift guy just indiscriminately stabbed them. I drive down to speak to a manager. He promises that the delivery company is being held accountable and we will be reimbursed. This was in September of 17. As of current, Lowe's attempted to contact me as I had called corporate, and directed me to the managers in Culpeper who had already been visited more than 3 times and who never bothered following up or calling me back. I left messages, I visited the store, and I got nowhere.
I'm cutting out a lot of detail, but honestly considering so many people seem to be having the same types of issues, it doesn't really seem necessary. The company has dropped the ball. They couldn't care less about actually taking care of their customers, especially if the customer has already paid. They seem to think that it doesn't matter because they already have our money. If someone decides to get into a class action suit over this, I'm in. Clearly I'm not the only one and it is unacceptable.

I think Lowe's doesn't want me to have the set because I got a discount for buying during the Black Friday sales and a deferred interest promotion.

Had the unfortunate experience of purchasing one of the worst clothes dryers on the market (Samsung) but purchased the extended warranty for peace of mind... At least I thought. Had to use my extended warranty 3 times now and the last experience has won the award for worst customer experience in the history of the U.S. Called Lowe's back in mid-November to have service come out for the broken pully/wheel on the dryer and they set up appointments with one of their two recommended service centers in my area. The one service center Night Owl had the absolute worst reviews available and told me they would be out in a month! Went ahead and contacted another local service center who came out the next day and repaired the appliance. Lowe's said I could send out a request for reimbursement for the service. Did that on 11/30/17 and they said I should get the check in about 21 business days.
After the 21st business day I called and found they never received the claim even though they sent an email confirmation that they received it? I sent the claim again in December and once again received an email confirmation that the claim was received and should be a check in a couple weeks. All along I was spending a great deal of time calling Lowe's Service Advantage with numerous excuses why I did not receive my reimbursement yet. It gets better! I called to have service on the junk dryer once again and had to rely on their worthless service center Night Owl. Night Owl never showed up on the scheduled day and Lowe's even called to check on the quality of the service! Here is a fact - Lowe's contracts with the absolute lowest cost provider in the area to cut costs - consumer satisfaction is not even considered in that choice...
Long story short, waiting for Lowe's to get back to us to find a service provider who will actually show up and the reimbursement check from late November has still not been received. I truly wonder how many other people are experiencing this same horrific situation? Isn't there some level of Fraud occurring here along with deceptive trade practices - everything they are telling me is not true. Could this turn into a class action lawsuit?

Where to begin. Previously had one window replaced by a Lowe’s contractor and service was fine, but product was outstanding... Although more pricey than an contractors quote, I felt the backing of a national company was worth it. Nine months later I got a quote for a large “bank” of kitchen windows and an exterior aluminum door. Again reasonable, but I needed to wait to save up the money. Three month later, ready to go, there was no sale, but the quoted price was the same. Sales told me not to wait, but that figure out a way to give me a better quote... How could I refuse. They sent a contractor, very pleasant and seemed very professional. He ordered the necessary resources and we made an appointment.
Lowe’s shipped the supplies to my doorstep and two young guys dumped the materials in the backyard, uncovered (it was raining hard) and were not gentle. Contractor didn’t contact me, so I called to let him know materials arrived and that I was worried they might be banged up. He told me he’d come check over the material, cover it, but we set the appointment for installation back two weeks just in case Lowe’s needed to replace their improperly handles materials. Contractor never came to check out the material and showed up, unscheduled, at a day between original appointment and the new appointment. He had his workers move quickly. They assured me that all the material were fine, weren’t wet, scratch or have any evidence or mistreatment... of which I found was incorrect after they finished the job.
At the end of the day the worker left without word. The contractor hadn’t been there except the first half hour or so. I just noticed no more noise, went to check and figured they’d come back the next day. However, the next day they didn’t return. I called the contractor 2 days after they left and he told me that they finished the first day. I asked for him to come back and she the lack of finished work and to see that the lock on the door didn’t work. He told me hurriedly how to fix the lock and that he would come by in the, “next day or so!”
The contractor didn’t return, nor return my phone calls and messages. I contacted the credit card company to refute the charges and they indicated they wouldn’t make payment. The card company called Lowe’s and the contractor and neither would provide any information or suggest how they would proceed. Finally, the credit card company told me that neither Lowe’s, nor the contractor were responding even though they had withheld payment.
After three months of trying to get Lowe’s and the contractor to address the issue the card company told me to find a new contractor to fix the problems and that since neither Lowe’s nor the contractor were returning legal requests to address the payment dispute that I was not being charged and that neither had the right to seek payment, nor was I responsible for any payment. Honestly, expected from the contractor? Sure. But expected from Lowe’s? Heavens no! Just look at how many poor reviews Lowe’s gets. Heck go to a Lowe’s store and compare their “service” to other big box stores or to expectations and, well... I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Avoid at all costs.

Ordered tile and doors from Lowe's, total spend was well over $7,000 not including delivery. Lowe's committed to delivery dates once the product was sourced and/or delivered to my local store. All reasonable. Since Lowe's does not operate actual warehouses to ship orders to customers, instead they source directly from their stores. This is actually the problem however, since the delivery manager at every store can cancel the order for any reason and then they do not contact the customer for days/weeks.
Our order of tile was cancelled three times with no notification. We would have contractors waiting for the materials and then the delivery would not arrive, when we would call customer service, we would be routed to the delivery manager at the store. Often they were not available or not at work and we would be routed back to customer service. Extremely frustrating.
Customer Service both the contact center and the store was horrible. They really don't care that you've spent thousands with them and no one knows where your product is. I've had terrible customer service before but Lowe's is the absolute worst. They just want you off the phone. Lowe's also charges your credit card before the product actually ships (which is illegal in the US). If your order gets cancelled (like ours did multiple times) they needed 7 days to refund the amount that actually should not have been charged since the product didn't ship.

Service people have said that it needs a compressor, a condenser, a drier, and freon.
The refrigerator is now beginning to grow mold on the inside. This is currently 40 days without a reasonable solution. All Lowe's does is point the finger at others. To fully understand this condition try to unplug your refrigerator for 40 days and live out of a college size refrigerator, and pay people to get you just the food you can keep cold. Even if Lowe's is following the manufacturer's warranty ultimately they are responsible to fix the situation in a timely manner.

Lowe's making money off false advertising of their 5% discount. Most customers don't take the time to calculate - and a penny is not much to each of us, but to Lowe's it means thousands of dollars. Lowe's rounds down the discount for each purchase, giving them thousands of dollars in their pockets, falsely earned.

Ordered a common mid-range refrigerator from Lowe’s. Was told it would take 7-10 days, but could take up to 2 weeks. At two weeks, I was contacted for delivery. Then contacted again and told the refrigerator was not in, still on order. After numerous calls, was told that the refrigerator was on a truck, they did not know when it would be unloaded and available, could be as long as an additional two weeks. Since I needed a refrigerator, I cancelled and got the same refrigerator from a competitor with a few days turn around and very good communication regarding the order and delivery. I will not consider Lowe’s again for a major appliance purchase. The upside (and why I gave a 2 instead of a 1 star rating) is that the people I dealt with were nice, professional, and tried to help. Too bad Lowe’s distribution system couldn’t back those people up.

About year ago I was in Augusta on Highway 25, looking to buy a washer and dryer, talked with several clerks and they would not answer my questions and was rude. I changed clerks and he told me they did not stock items, also told me that they would not wait on me. Went set downturn back to me when I went around to face them, they would turn again. Young kid in very loud voice told me to leave. I left and call friend we both own our own co. He told me that I was on the wrong side of town. I left and went to Bobby Jones store, and ask same questions got answer, also had it stock and looked up answers to my questions. I bought washer and dryer. I keep using this store.
But 12-18-2017 I bought a water filter from them, it had bad fitting, had to return it, got it home installed glue pipe in. There was not o-ring on the clear plastic housing, went back to store explained problem. They said that they would exchange it but did not have one in store. I would need to go home and cut it out and return to store. Water leaking badly. I had already made 3 round trips to Augusta about 37 miles 1 way. They made me buy the o-ring that they had in stock. Less than $5. What kind of training do the people get? I think now it is a corp. issue and I will be going to Home Depot. I post review with them and they will not post it. Part whirlpool WHKF-DWHBB. I understand from other reviews that they do not support this item.

I had a new roof installed May 27, 2016. The roofers had to come back 8 times for leaks. They did come right back each time, but water had come in mainly through a storage area and ran down the walls. The area below this has built in bookcases. There is now a crack running down the wall & the bookcase is coming away from the wall. I have sent pictures and have had many conversations with at least 2 people from corporate. After many promises to come and look at the damage, they seem to have forgotten about it. Extremely frustrating! Damages from their mistakes don't seem to matter to them.

We spent a lot of money ordering standard cabinets, Diamond, and the wrong sizes came and our replacement cabinets would be an additional month before arriving. This was their expedited request mind you. No urgency whatsoever to resolve. My kitchen should have been completed no later than week prior to Christmas. But now I'm told expect replacement cabinets between 3 - 11 Jan because of the holidays they are off. My counter install still needs done as well as plumbing. They have ruined a whole holiday as well as experience of remodeling a kitchen. No concern for customer nor offering discount for the additional time or stress they caused. I will never recommend ordering standard cabinets to anyone through Lowe's.

Imagine fetching water from your powder room in bottle to fill up your Keurig Coffee machine to brew coffee. Imagine further, living in a home with an entire family without kitchen sinks, leaking water from valves and unable to use your dishwasher for 48 hours. This is my current situation this holiday. Two weeks before Thanksgiving my wife and myself decided to embark on the final stage of our kitchen makeover project that we had started during the summer – installation of a new countertop and sink. We had acquired refrigerator, a range and microwave earlier during summer from Lowe’s on Snellville (Store #1603). Our experience with Lowe's was very unpleasant during the delivery. It was characterized by extremes delays in product delivery that were several weeks later than the date we were told.
On 11/18/2017 we finalized the purchase of our countertop and sink. I will be remised if I didn’t comment on the excellent service we receive from Shelia **, Max and their colleagues in the Kitchen remodeling department. However, our problem started with the project coordinator – Leanne. After the first call I never heard back from the project coordinator despite placing several follow-ups calls regarding my installation. Finally, Kevin, the installer called me on Thursday, December 14 informing me that he was coming on Tuesday the following week to install my countertop. I remembered Kevin very well during the initial measurement phase, he was very pleasant; we had a good conversation while he finalized the measurement, and he did offer some advice which I appreciated.
During his call to confirm and lock in the installation date he was very frank and honest with me and told me that there was a 50% chance that all of the material for the countertop may not be ready, however he assured me that in the worst case if the materials were not present he will restore or put back my old countertop. Long story short, our countertop was installed with missing backslash in some area. No date was given when Kevin will be coming back to complete the rest of the installation. Most frustrating and inconveniencing thing was the removal of our working sink without a replacement. Please note I had spent $570.56 on the entire sink, disposal, water filter et cetera and workmanship for plumber. It was my understanding that the plumber will be installing the sink and accessories after the countertop installation.
The project Coordinator did not call to inform me of when the rest of the items will be installed. After inspecting the work done, I took pictures and immediate proceeded to the store to express my concern about the missing sink which was a pressing issue. I was told that someone was going to contact me. I called Shelia and she did confirm that she had received a call the night before about my incomplete installation and she was in the process of calling me. After waiting home for the most part of the day, I decided to follow-up with another call to Shelia. She told me she had not heard from installation company. Finally, I drove over to the store at about 4:00 PM after not hearing anything about scheduling my sink installation.
The store manager at Lowe’s Damian connected me with Leanne and her supervisor. I expressed to them the urgent need to have my sink install and schedule a later date for the backslash. Honestly, my expectation was that Mr. ** was going to find a local plumber to expedite the remediation of the problem, however to contrary, I was told to find my own plumber and will be reimbursed later.

We started with our remodeling in September. When it came time to order our countertops at the middle of September it took 2 weeks to get in touch with the person to get the cabinets ordered. The company came and measured and I was informed it would be 6-8 weeks to get them in. I didn't get to have Thanksgiving at my home. The cabinets arrived at Lowe's and they broke the corner off of the longest piece. It was another 2 weeks before we were notified that they were in and ready to be installed.
When the countertops arrived with the installer they had ordered the wrong edge on the replacement piece. On 12/20 I still don't have a kitchen to cook and serve Christmas dinner to my family. It will be "after New Year's" before I have a chance at having countertops. It has been three months and I will be waiting another 3-6 weeks? Bull. Each time I have called to talk to a manager about this there is "no one available". Any question we ask we get the answer "I can't do anything. You will have to talk to a manager." Customer Service is what differentiates one hardware store from another. Any adjustment of the price for this mess? None here... Never again!!!

I purchased a new refrigerator at Lowe's in Sugarland, TX on 12/16/2017. I was promised a 12/17/2017 delivery date. They didn't show. Nor did they call to inform me of any issues. When I did call I was informed that there was a payment issue. I called my bank several times and I had them remove any fraud alerts they had issue. Even after that Lowe's would not deliver. The issue was with their system. I tried multiple times to resolve with no resolution. I finally cancelled the order since they could not deliver the refrigerator when I needed it the most.

Our 3-year old Samsung French Door Refrigerator purchased at Lowe's failed in September 2017. The fan that circulates cool air (cover evaporator) could not operate due to a buildup of ice that covered the entire back panel of the refrigerator. A & E Factory Service, a worthless service, came twice to defrost it and order a replacement part. That part was ordered on 10/9/17 and we were given an installation date 2 weeks later pending the receipt of the part at our home. Today is 12/20/17 and the part is yet to arrive. A & E scheduled us for installation every 2 weeks always assuring us that the part was shipping. Several phone calls by us to Lowe's Extended Warranty Service people always resulted in mixed messages. An "expedited" request for the part was required and we had to wait 2 business days for a response after which, if the part was not available, then perhaps they would talk about replacing the appliance.
Then on December 5 there was a requirement to wait 5 business days for Lowe's Extended Warranty Service to further research on when the part would be fabricated and shipped. And now, as of December 19 we are in another holding period of "it's in the mail - call A & E when you received it". Since early October 2017 we have been without a working refrigerator. I relied on neighbors to help me get through the busy Thanksgiving weekend. The only way we can keep any semblance of cool air in it is to place bags of ice on the shelves - hence no room for much food.
This lifestyle requires multiple trips to the grocery store every week. Here I am facing another long holiday weekend with no reliable refrigerator. I cannot stress enough how fed up I am with Lowe's, Samsung and the extended warranty people. They are all totally unreliable and could care less that we paid hundreds of dollars for an extended warranty that is worthless. We will never purchase anything of any value whatsoever from Lowe's. Home Depot - here we come! And never, ever waste money on extended warranties from Lowe's.

I have been to different lower across the country and its known that most employees stand around talking to other employees. This is usually fine as they just get in the way but today at the Lowe's in Glasgow Ky. They set a new low as it were every single employee was doing absolutely nothing but talking about not one thing related to their job. I was made to feel by each and every one of them that I was inconveniencing them and interrupting them. I spent 350 this trip and no telling how much over time but they had an item that was priced incorrectly and when they finally sent this smart ass kid to check he stopped to have 4 yes 4 conversations with his friends. Not customers. His friends.
All the while the two men at the pro desk stood there and looked at me like I was bothering them. All told I was in the store. Well over an hr after I started checking out and everyone who works there went out of their way to make my time unimportant and were truly making it purposely difficult. Blatantly making me feel as though I was bothering them. Completely outright rude. I will never spend one cent at any Lowe's again and do my best to see anyone I know stay away from spending a cent at Lowe's.

I ordered a area rug from Lowe's Online on November 19, 2017. I was told it would be delivered on 11-21-17, just in time for Thanksgiving. It has still never arrived and now is 12-19-17. I tried to check online but it says it was delivered. I went to a store to get help and all they could do was refer me to phone to call for help with online orders. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Lowe's customer support only to be told they could not contact the company the rug was ordered from and that they, Lowe's, are not responsible.
I ordered from Lowe's, Lowe's charged my credit card for $501.50 yet they are not responsible. The customer service person was not helpful at all and said she would send email to company for them to contact me on Monday. Today is Tuesday and no email. I finally resorted to looking the company up by the one piece of information I had, their address. Find the company's name and phone number. Called them and in less than 5 minutes they explained my order had been canceled the very day it was placed because the rug ordered is no longer in stock.
They said that Lowe's should have refunded my money because they sent them a cancellation notice. I then called Lowe's customer assistance back and was now told no one there could refund my money because I used a credit card. They gave me yet another number to call for credit card refunds which is always busy. I can NEVER get through. No apologies, no help, and I feel that Lowe's has stolen my money and trying to make it impossible to get it back. I am now going through credit card company to dispute the charges. I WILL NEVER SHOP AT LOWE'S EVER AGAIN. If this is the best you can do with online ordering then close the site down, it is horrible failure!

We bought two sets of glass doors for remodeling. One set for downstair, and second set for upstair bathrooms. We did not receive any notification of the product for at least 3 weeks. My wife called Lowe's and it took them the entire day to track it down, and confirm it is available for store pick up. I drove to the store for pick up and the sales team could not find it. They could not even find the doors in the system. After about 2 hours, they managed to locate the order and went to the back to bring it out. I was called on the intercom after 2 hours to pick up.
Problems: At 5pm in the Monday afternoon, they did not have anyone available to help with loading into the truck. Waited another 30 minutes. Asked if there are two sets in the 4 boxes; both sales person said absolutely and for sure. Brought it home, opened it and turns out to be only one set. Came back to Lowe's and they said I have already signed and picked up both sets. Wow! Had multiple managers looking at the order and refused to go to the back to check. After 30 minutes of arguing they decided to check the back and could not find it. Argued again for another 20 minutes and a new sales lady was willing to check again. Of course they found it. This time the second set was on a pallet. Lowe's did not have tools to move the doors off the pallet. Spent way way too much time hassling with this, not going back to Lowe's for a long long time.
