    I went to Lowe's to have them Carpet two rooms in my house. They said they would sent an installer over to measure my house. He came and said that he would sent a report to Lowe's who would contact me in 72 hours. They did not and when I tried to call their store no one answer. I contacted their Chat service who report back that someone would contact me in 72 additional hours. I asked what happened to the promised 72 hours and she couldn't answer me. This experience is beginning to become a nightmare just to get two rooms carpeted. Still waiting to see if they call tomorrow. Am looking for a carpet company also. Next step is Home Depot.

    I purchased an upright freezer from Lowe's & when they delivered it, the guys bringing it in wanted to take my living room and kitchen door off & wanted to remove my cabinet doors in the kitchen. My husband asked them if they could just take the freezer door off and bring it in. They took it off and it came right in. People always wanting to do everything the hard way! I guess they were being paid by the hour. SMH.

    In January 2018 on behalf of my entire street of homeowners I bought 2,200 bags of mulch for our yards. Lowe's gave me a 7% price increase to their initial quote on this, and OK I accepted it. The big problem Lowe's gave me is that they promised to “stagger” the pallets of mulch down the street so each homeowner could access them, but then delivered it all in front of one house!

    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 place the order and paid in full in late Sept 2017. The company actually doing the work is fine, they are competent and keep me updated. However, they have to wait on Lowe's Professional Services for the cabinets. Kitchen was demo'd right before Thanksgiving. Cabinets arrived and were inspected; the "project manager" didn't know how to read dates on PDF files and used the earliest estimated measurements, not the latest correct measurements. 3 weeks for new cabinets. Then the cabinet company made one of the new cabinets incorrectly; the corner wasn't 90 degrees and I'd have lost 2-3 inches in my tiny kitchen to shims. Nope. Now they seem to have lost the reordered corner cabinet. AND OF COURSE, once the cabinets are installed, I have to WAIT 3 more weeks for the countertop. DO NOT BUY CABINETS FROM LOWE'S.

    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.

    I ordered 30 4 X 8 ft sheets of natural wood beadboard from Lowe's online. I paid for shipping. It arrived in the freezing rain and the delivery person said he was not allowed to take the wood into the house. We are talking about 400 lbs of wood in huge thin sheets. Impossible to manage with one person. My 77 year old husband nearly killed himself trying to get it inside before it was damaged. We had to hire someone on an emergency basis to bring it in. Lowe's was not interested in my complaints, refused to refund the shipping cost and said it was clearly my fault because I had not read the "shipping policy". No interest in how seniors are supposed to manage. Nowhere did it ever say, you had better be prepared to bring this in yourself. They bring in appliances, but not hundreds of pounds of wood.

    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! Lowe's did not reimburse me for a FULL box of tiles ($100) and were very distant in helping to move the project through completion. I would NEVER use Lowe's again for any install service.

    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.

    I am on Lowe's email list and receive regular emails about sales. I have been looking at dishwashers through the emails I have received and they know I am looking at appliances and have been sending me advertising targeting me for an appliance. I ordered a dishwasher that they showed online for sale in which I used my Lowe's credit card. I was told what store the dishwasher was at and they would notify me to pick it up. 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. It was all a waste of my time. Even after they knew they didn't have them they didn't remove them off of the internet and continued to bait other customers all the time trying to sell me a full price dishwasher.

    I would give half a star if I could. First in the store I had to find someone to help us and another customer. Then after a week of not hearing from the installation people I called and was told that someone would be out to install on Wednesday 1 and 1/2 weeks after paid in full purchase. Got off of work early costing me 100 dollars and about 6 PM the installer called and was not happy that he had to deliver the dishwasher and was rude to me because of that. I didn't fill out the invoice for them. He said he would be there that night. No call no show #1. The next day I called the store and was told that my 100 dollars would be refunded. Then the next day I again had to leave my job (60 dollars gone this time).

    I was again told someone would be out before 8. At 9 PM I again called the store. This manager offered me a 100 gift certificate. No call no show # 2. 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.

    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.

    NOW, the individual stores don't handle complaints any longer--I have to deal with a center in another state! Haven't reached them yet. Tired of fighting the fight!

    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.

    November 28, 2017. STORE 2879 RIO RANCH NM. It is now January 20, 2018. I've made two payments now on a washer and dryer set I have not received, with a bunch of lies as to why not, including, "It is in the store and will be delivered tomorrow." "It is in our warehouse in Wyoming and will be delivered Wednesday." "The truck cancelled." "One of the components is in another state." I paid extra to rush a complete remodel of the laundry room because I was told the set would be delivered within three days from purchase. I have received 6 phone calls stating delivery dates, moved furniture 6 times anticipating delivery, no one showed up or called to say they were not coming after all.

    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. This was supposed to be my forever washer and dryer set! This is the first NEW set I have ever purchased and probably the last, because I am 67. It was supposed to be my Christmas present!

    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? They really need to be held accountable for this absolute extreme level of incompetence!

The last guy from Samsung just left and also could not fix it. I called Lowe's and after waiting for awhile I get passed through to the warranty Department. The first rep was no help, so she gets the supervisor who repeated that my damn 5yr EPP wouldn't be good until the Manufacture Warranty ends (1yr). He said that they would continue servicing the refrigerator (that obviously has a bad ice maker). After the 1yr they would assess what is wrong and see if the refrigerator is eligible for replacement. All I want is a refrigerator that has a working ice maker, so Replace it LOWE'S.

    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.

    I purchased 1/2 ton of Premium Pellets online at Lowe's for local pickup. Within 30 minutes I received an email that my order was ready for pickup. I left work early and drove 1 hour to pickup the order. When I arrived to Lowe's (North Warwick, RI) I waited approx 45-minutes for the pellets to be found and carted to the front of the store. Whoever picked the order picked the WRONG pellets and tried to pawn off cheap junk pellets on me. I stated I ordered the more expensive pellets.

    The manager (Michaela, who is useless and shouldn't be a manager, she should work at Burger King with her attitude and knowledge) stated, "Well we don't have them." I said, "Well then why was my order processed and put into the system available for pickup." "Well I don't know." (She doesn't know much.) I was offered a 20% discount on the junk pellets which was unacceptable since I already got a 20% discount on the more expensive pellets. Michaela could care less. I took time out of my day and drove an hour to pick up an incorrect order.

    While I was getting a refund another lady purchased a snow blower, paid for it and was there to pick it up. Well guess what? The incompetent employees at Lowe's sold the snow blower to someone else even though she paid for it in full. I would not recommend shopping at Lowe's. The customer service is so lacking. It isn't even funny. I will shop at Home Depot from now on. This place is a disgrace.

    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. I've reported this to the merchant banks and the BBB as well.

    In my whole experience with Lowe's carpet installation, they don't know how to call. I had to go to the store several times just to get the assessment done. After that, it took the installation company more than two weeks to call to install. After a snafu they said they would expedite the situation, but did not, still took another week to come out. Then never called to confirm the installation company was coming. Went 3 times in one week to finally get an answer that they were coming the day of. Horrible service. They also sent the worst crew to install the carpets.

    On 11/20/17 Lowe's was called about a Frigidaire refrigerator not working, it was purchased 3/23/17. As of 12/28/17 the refrigerator is still not working. Lowe's is attempting to point to Frigidaire as being responsible for the repair, Frigidaire has called 4 different service companies to fix it, some admit to not being qualified and others simply come out and state they need a part then they don't ever come back out to fix the refrigerator. 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.

    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.

    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.

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."

    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.

    Bought a new gas range because our existing oven failed. Store cannot schedule installation so we elected to go through Lowe's for the install. It took ten days for a single individual to come and inspect our existing setup and decide it was OK to schedule the install. At first the installers said it would take another week before they could install the oven. That took us to the 21st of December when it was purchased on the 3rd. After several telephone conversations between me and my spouse, we got the schedule moved up but, when the range arrived the burners on the stove top were corroded beyond use. The installers took the range back to Lowe's without being able to tell us if or when we could get a new one installed.

    We are currently trying to find out what they can do to help us but it's beginning to look like after Christmas if not the New Year. I would not recommend buying any appliance from Lowe's at this stage but, if you feel you must and it requires professional installation, buy it a couple months before you need it. Lowe's will not stand for you if there is an installation problem.

Figuring such broken stock wouldn't be knowingly sold I went and got the manager of the area and showed him. His response was "we have to make the money on it, someone will buy it and not care" (translation to me... Sell broken things to unsuspecting people... Cause the customer hard earned money is only important if it's in Lowe's pocket!) He refused to pull the product! Some unknowing person will buy a couple maybe cut them and then notice... I'm guessing when they go to get a replacement they won't have one and what a hassle their CHEATING people could cause.

    On 11/16/17 I special ordered a GE microwave (JVM195SKSS). This was the closest model to my original product. I received this info from GE Customer Service. I went to the appliance Division at Lowe's in Lady Lake, Fl and the salesperson found the product. Before he pressed the order button I verified that his product # matched what I wanted. He said it would take 3 weeks to get the SOS microwave. I told him that would be fine because I would need it before 12/16. On 11/30 I received a call telling me to pick up my microwave. I picked it up at Lowe's Lady Lake and asked them to verify the code numbers. They read the numbers of the SOS slip which had my name on it and the appropriate code numbers. I went home to install the microwave and to my surprise it was not Stainless Steel but a different finish.

    I called Lowe's Lady Lake, told them what happened, and they told me to bring it back. I did. They went to the back to get my stainless steel microwave and said they could not find it. They said they could reorder my product and they would have it here by 12/8 or 12/9. They also discounted the product $66.61. 12/9 came around and no microwave. After talking to a number of Customer Service people (Elizabeth, Melody, Tiffany, Marisa, Stewart), all of whom tried to be helpful, but none of whom could find my stainless steel microwave. On 12/9 and 12/10 I received two different voicemails telling me that my choices were to wait until after Christmas to get my microwave (because they had to order it AGAIN) or cancel the order.

    This was what the assistant manager told Customer Service to tell me. I went to the store, had my account credited, and bought a microwave from a competitor. I will keep these voicemails to remind me to never again shop at any Lowe's. Anyone reading this review, I would advise you to go online and read reviews of Lowe's, and to never SPECIAL ORDER a product from Lowe's. I will also let GE corporate know what kind of distributor they have special ordering their GE products.

    This is in relation to a shopping experience at Lowe’s on Sunday December 19th 2017. I arrived to purchase a snow blower for my mom that was out of stock, which is fine. The alternative offered was to purchase it and it will arrive in a few days or a few weeks. I had arranged it to have it assembled and delivered. Before making the payment I ensured that I asked the sales person to mark this as assembled before delivery. I also made the same request after making the payment after which she replied that, “Yes Lowe’s does assemble as a standard procedure anyway.” My sister was with me and witnessed the conversation. This is all fine.

    Over the last weekend around December 2 or 3rd, my mom received a call for delivery on Monday December 4th at which she reminded the person this should be assembled as delivered. The person she talked to indicated that the assembler would have to do it on Monday so that she'll need to wait until Tuesday for delivery. This is fine. The snow blower was delivered on Tuesday December 5th. As my mom took delivery of the snow blower, she asked the delivery person whether this is assembled (she doesn't know). The delivery person said, “Yes, it is assembled in the box,” (this is the very puzzling thing to me and totally does not make sense). She then calls me to get it running and I arrive at her place on Sunday December 10th.

    Upon seeing the snow blower in the box and seeing that the thrower is in the box, the handlebar not setup, the lights not setup etc, I determined that this snow blower is NOT assembled. It was 7 or 8pm at night and I simply don't have time to put this thing together and did not expect to do it as my initial and repeated requests was to have this thing assembled which the Lowe’s workers repeatedly assured me this would be the case. I then called Lowe's ~8:30pm on the same day Sunday December 10th and was promptly directed to the manager who answered promptly. After a short conversation, Dan offered to do an exchange on Tuesday December 12th with an assembled snow blower. This was fine.

    However after thinking about it and talking it over with my mom, there is no reason to believe we'll get an assembled snow blower after all that has happened and decided to return the snow blower instead of continuing with the purchase effort. I did call back to Lowe's to get it cancelled on the same night of Sunday December 10th. The sales person indicated that we'll get a call on Monday December 11th on a Tuesday December 12th pickup after which my credit card will be credited with the refund. Now at this point I am unsure how or if this will ever happen as I have zero confidence in this purchase. Let us see how this goes, hopefully it does not turn into a "mix up".

    It seems to me that at least three people at this Lowe's do not understand what "assembled" means which is fine, your company is free to hire whomever you wish. I am glad that the return policy was flexible enough to accommodate this situation, although let us see how it goes. This is exactly what happened and I have witnesses, so rest assured you do not need to say "you do not know what happened" and "will look into it". Once again, let's see how things go on the return... 2017-12-12 Return pickup by Lowe's shipper. An automated message was left the night before (2017-12-11) indicating that the shipper will arrive between 11am and 1pm on Tuesday December 12th, 2017. I planned to arrive at around 10:30am and due to the snow/traffic. After arriving I found out that the shippers already came at 10am and picked up the snow blower from my mom for return. This is all fine.

    What was disturbing was the shippers did not want to give my mom a pickup receipt and insisted that "everyone" at the store knows about it. She had to scream at them and eventually was given a pickup receipt proving (hopefully) that the snow blower was picked up by the shipper to be returned to Lowe’s. She would not let them leave with the snow blower without getting a pickup receipt, which is what I would have expected. I did see the trolley tracks in the snow on the driveway when I arrived so knew the snow blower had already picked up. It is concerning to me that Lowe's would have a business practice of picking up (and presumably dropping) off things without giving/receiving any records. This is a red flag to me as a consumer.

    I then went to the Lowe's store to get my refund. They indicated to me that my CC will automatically be credited once the snow blower arrives in shipping (eyes roll). Let me see how that goes, hopefully for the best and not how it has been going... 2017-12-14 Thu 12:30PM (follow up on the return). Called the Customer Service (lady). She cannot find the purchase record by phone ** or name (Kuo) which I used previously to talk about this, or the invoice: **. (We have some issues). Second Customer Service Rep found it. Just put into system last night. She has the snow blower and will issue the refund and send email to "**". The return receipt indicates $789.87 meaning I am on the hook for the ~$90 charge. This isn't right based on a mistake on part of Lowe's. I was going to forget about this but this is the last straw. For the $90, you bought yourself this review and to-be others on the internet +.

    This was one of the worst retail experiences I have had, learned my lesson, won't repeat this again. Actually this reminds me of an online Lowe's purchase I made years ago for 3M furnace filters. They arrived at the wrong size. I brought them back to the store for an exchange. Then the store indicates the filters are on the top shelf and someone would have to "get" them for me. This is why I ordered online to begin with! (to avoid this). So I simply returned them. I never gave it a second thought. This experience, along with the previous, with the one star rating here really is adding up for me and know that this is a consistent issue with this chain store.

    Guaranteed delivery? 3-7 days. They'll give you a call 24 hours in advance. Day six rolls around, no call, so I go to customer service. They tell me my delivery is not scheduled until day 14... Hmm. That's not 3-7 days? That's upsetting, since I moved into a house early, without a fridge, because I expected to get one immediately. Nope. 3-7-14-99 days. They were able to push me up to deliver on day 12. Great. Only a week without a fridge... Well, I had a stinky mini fridge, thankfully. It'll fit milk, eggs, and a couple of frozen meals for work. Day 11 rolls around, and contrary to what I was told, I had not received a call 24 hours in advance. Back to the customer service desk. She says, "It'll come sometime tomorrow, they'll call around 10." "Really? This is the third promise I've gotten, none of which have been true. I don't believe it."

    She says, "Well, it may come tomorrow, or whenever, maybe." "Excuse me?" "In case someone doesn't have a fridge or something." "I DON'T HAVE A FRIDGE!" "Oh, well, they'll call in the morning, maybe." "Ok, you are very helpful and all, but maybe I could speak to a manager, or someone in the delivery department." "Delivery went home for the day, at 4." During all this nonsense my phone rang, and I got a voicemail. Turns out it was Mike from delivery, confirming my delivery. Hmm. I thought they already went home for the day.

    This insert expletive here at the service counter has just been lying to me the whole time. She doesn't have any idea what's going on, but she thinks she can be unpleasant enough to get me out of there. This experience isn't even over, I could keep writing this complaint. My interactions with the delivery guys, once I finally got through to them after working my way through the frustrating obstacle course. They'll call me later, by the way. Guess I have to miss work today, and wait around for the fridge all day. Hopefully I get it, so I can start eating healthy again. One thing is sure. The thousands of dollars a year I spend there, I will now be spending at Menards. I will never give Lowe’s another dime. If you have another option, I recommend you go there. Lowe’s is the worst option for anything you need.

    We ordered a freezer and Samsung washer and dryer and was very disappointed with the process. The washer and dryer came on the day of delivery with no problem but I had a horrible time getting the freezer. I was told at time of purchase that the freezer door could be changed to open right to left. When delivered I was told it could not be changed. I called store and was told I could get another brand that would work for us and would be delivered next day. I explained I had just ordered a large amount of meat ($500.00) and was told to keep the freezer until next day, very nice but now I have a freezer in my dining room and doors off the room where it was suppose to go. The next day a delivery man came on time but told me the freezer was not on the truck and would be here the next day, why they came I have no idea. Called the store again and was told they would have men from store load up another one.

    The gentlemen who came one of them worked in Christmas dept and the other one worked in stock room and they had no tools and no clue how to take off freezer door to get in the correct room. Called store again and was told next day a service man would be out to finish the job. They did a wonderful job and we finally got the freezer out of the dining room. I specifically went to purchase from Lowe's (we have a Home Depot closer) because I have purchased many times with no problem. I like all your employees, always polite and courteous but this last 3 day experience makes me re-think a little. I have spent a considerable amount of money in your Jackson location and have excellent credit rating and feel this should never have gone this far.

    I have recently purchased a dryer machine from the store in Norcross, GA. When I got it delivered; it turned out to be a different color than I ordered. However; as I wasn’t home at the time of delivery and due to time and work constraints; I decided to leave it at that. A few days passed and the dryer started to malfunction. When I called the customer service number I felt almost forced to have a technician to come over to look at the machine as opposed to have them swap. When I was finally “approved“ for the swap; I was informed that I would receive a phone call the day prior to the swap to notify the time frame of delivery; as I didn’t hear nothing; I called to find out; was told that I would get a call in 2 hours; the time came and went and I had to call again.

    After been on the phone for over an hour I was told that they had no clue of delivery time as a 3rd party vendor handles the deliveries... I was left with... “sit at home for an entire day just waiting for us”. I can’t even trust that this delivery is going to happen. This is a company that can not be trusted.

    We recently flooded and had to replace all our appliances as well as everything in our home. I had originally ordered my refrigerator at Best Buy but the delivery date was almost a week after we were moving in. I called Lowe's to see if I could get it sooner from them. I was assured that they could get it delivered the day before we moved back in. It was still on sale for the same price as the other store. I ordered from Lowe's and cancelled my original order with the Best Buy. I received several emails confirming the delivery day and time.

    The day before it was to be delivered, I received an email telling me that it was being delivered a day later. I called to confirm and was told it would be delivered a day later but they didn't have a time yet. The customer service lady even called the warehouse to see if she could get an estimated time. She said they confirmed the date but could not give her a delivery window yet and they would call on the day of delivery with a time window. The next day I got an email with a time window. The day of delivery I took off work to be there when they arrived and 1 hour before delivery time, I received a phone call telling me that it would not be delivered for a month and a half. I was in complete shock.

    I told them I just received a email with a time and I had confirmed. She said there was nothing she could do. I call the original store, Best Buy, and found out from them that I could get delivery on my original order day but that the price had gone back up. I called Lowe's back and cancelled. I had to pay over $700 more because Lowe's is untrustworthy. They cost me money that I needed to put my house back together after flooding. I will not buy from them again. They promise things they cannot deliver just to make a sale.

    I am a disabled US veteran and I build things for my friends and family for a few different reasons. Building and working on wood projects is relaxing for me and living on a disabled veteran income my budget is tight. I recently went to Lowe's to buy some lumber for a project that I was going to build for my daughter for Christmas. In the past as I have done so many times I use the free lumber cutting service at Lowe's as this makes transporting, handling much easier for me. I can understand that not having someone at the lumber cutting station is something that can happen, so I walked, well limped, back to the front of the store and requested some lumber be cut. As soon as the clerk took the first 2x4x8 and started measuring the cuts I needed out of that board, I knew he did not know what he was doing. He drew a line for the first 17" cut then from that line drew another line for the second 17" cut and so on down the entire length of the board.

    Now as any skilled competent carpenter will tell you, you cannot do this! You have to measure then cut, measure then cut or else every length after the first will be inaccurate and I will have a bunch of useless lumber. As if that was not enough, the clerk then proceeded to tell me and I quote, "You know there is an extra charge for lumber cutting". I was exasperated, and told him to forget it, I would go to The Home Depot to buy and cut my Lumber and proceeded to return the lumber back in its bin location.

    Now as if that was not enough, this disrespectful incompetent idiot did not even help me with returning the 2x4's and 2x6's to the bins. He stood there watching a 60 year old disabled veteran lift all the lumber back to its location. He then proceeds to add fuel to the already smoldering fire by saying and I quote again, "The Home Depot charges to cut lumber too".

    As I am walking out the door I throw my hands in the air and state to a couple of clerks standing by the door "Since when did you guys start charging to cut lumber". The clerks say "We do not charge for lumber cutting it is a free service". What do I hear that bonehead say behind me, he lies and says "I said we may charge to cut lumber". I am so irate I have to leave before my serious PTSD causes me to snap. I have been a Lowe's charge card holder for some time now but I am seriously thinking of cutting up my card. If this is the caliber of professionalism employed at Lowe's, then I will have nothing to do with them. Very unhappy irate customer!!!

    I purchased a Samsung Kitchen Suite with Lowe's during Black Friday in Nov 2016. Items were not available until end of December and the installer damaged my cabinet and flooring. The installer came without a help and dragged the old appliances out and dragged the new ones in. I offered to lay down cardboard boxes to avoid damage and he said it would not be necessary. He also drilled a huge triple hole in the cabinet that the microwave would be installed, yet there was already an existing one. I have repeatedly reached out to Lowe's Customer Service since the beginning of the year and I have spoken and emailed several agents but they have basically ignored my emails, phone calls and my claim in general.

    Now almost a year later they finally sent a letter to the installation company (which I never knew who they were) asking them to resolve the issue and they (Lowe's) be held harmless in this matter. It is now Dec 2017 and I have yet to hear from either of the companies on a resolution. I can't believe that Lowe's has handled this claim is such an unsatisfactory manner for over a year. Even with my constant threats to take this to litigation, has not prompted any of them to contact me or resolve this issue in any meaningful way. I guess their strategy is to drag things out to over a year so that no one can take them to court and they don't have to pay for damages. Shameful that they are treating a loyal and frequent customer this way!!! What is worse, is that I am still paying for the appliances and once I am done, I am canceling my Lowe's credit card and I will no longer be a customer!

On Nov. 11th delivery called at 11:00pm (we were sleeping) and left a message that we would receive the delivery between 9am - 11am. Unfortunately, we were sleeping and unaware that they had left a message so were already out of the house. When we finally noticed the message we went back & forth with delivery to resolve delivery time. In the meantime we were running around like fools to empty our fridge in preparation for the removal and delivery of the new one. As the day progressed they showed up at 2:30pm with the hose & filter only. Yes, a huge truck delivered a hose & filter.

    I asked where the fridge was and they said maybe on another truck. The account continues to show everything as delivered and today (Dec. 8th) they told us we could expect the delivery sometime in Feb. 2018. We told Lowe's that we would return the hose & filter and cancel the order all together since we have already started paying for a refrigerator that we never received.

    I purchased Valspar paint for approximately $50.00. I purchased my paint from Lowe’s because of their return policy that I saw advertised on television saying that you could return your paint and either get a refund or a different can of paint if you were not happy with the paint. The paint I purchased was too shiny and not the correct color that I was wanting. I took the paint and my receipt to the store in North Ogden, Utah. I was told by customer service that they could not return VALSPAR paint, that I would have to go through the VALSPAR company. I asked them why their website and their advertising said I could return paint and get a refund or exchange. Nowhere on the site or advertisement did it say anything about VALSPAR being an exclusion to their policy. They kept saying, "Well it only covers the other types of paint, not VALSPAR."

    They said I had to go through the VALSPAR company and try to get it resolved through them. Well, after looking at the VALSPAR information, that company wants me to purchase another can of paint from them and take pictures of my previous painting and then my final paint job and send it to them before I can get a refund on the first can I purchased. I would still be stuck with a can of paint that I no longer wanted, which I only bought from Lowe’s in the first place because of their advertised return policy. I feel CHEATED by their false advertising!!!

    On a side note, my husband met me at Lowe’s to get some blinds for our rentals as I was trying to return the paint. He pushed the call button for help in the window coverings department, but no one ever came to help. He finally gave up, went to customer service where I was dealing with people without sense, and asked them if anybody worked there. What a joke of a place to shop.

    We purchased a dishwasher from Lowe's and opted to have Lowe's install it. What a terrible decision. During the installation of the dishwasher, the installer decided to use a pry bar that cause the countertop to become removed from the cabinets below. A support from underneath the counter was broken away from under that cabinet. The installer left and never mentioned the damage he had caused. When I went to the Lowe's store they assured me that this would be resolved and apologized for the inconvenience. I had expressed that we did not want the same installer that caused the damage to the countertop to come out since he had no integrity to own up to the damaged caused.

    After speaking to John ** Service Production Supervisor CPO, CSC-I, Lowe's Companies, Inc. I thought that our situation would be resolved. However still no call from a countertop installer to assess the damage caused by the appliance installer. I followed up with him the next morning. No resolution told that the original installer required a chance to look at damage and possibly fix the damage. Meanwhile my girlfriend received a call to stop out and look at the job.

    The original installer who damaged our countertop during installation of a dishwasher by prying the countertop with a pry bar without authorization. Two witnesses saw him use it. The installer attempted to blame the damage caused by his lack of common sense on the original installation of countertop? Which is ridiculous as the countertop was properly functioning prior to be wrenched with a pry bar. The installer was not professional or accountable in any way.

    The amount of inconvenience and lack of professionalism that we have experienced as a result of Lowe's installers negligence is appalling. I have request that an area field manager contact me three times today. I have initiated a claim through customer care # **. Is this really how Lowe's handles issues caused by their installers.

Good job. The next refrigerator with all the goods arrived. It was damaged. They wanted to leave the unit till a replacement or repair would arrive. The box would not fit in the opening due to the damage. They were told to remove it. A new box was ordered with a date of 2 weeks.

    We were promised a Tuesday delivery. We were called on Friday and told it would be delivered on Tuesday. Then 3 hours later it was Lowe's and we were told they could not deliver till the Monday after the Tuesday because of scheduling problems. We went to Best Buy and got the same box for $260.00 less and delivered on Tuesday. We called Lowe's and were told it was a contract problem with their delivery firm. I think Lowe's management was extremely dumb for entering into a contract without due diligence clause. If you own stock in Lowe's dump it before they enter into any more contracts and give away the company.

I hurried back to the house to make sure I was on time for the delivery and was told that I would get a call a half hour before delivery. I received a call from a computer telling me that I would now receive my until delivery between 3:30 & 5:30. I called to complain that a least I should have received a call from a real person. Figuring that they could be running behind schedule. I finally get a call from the driver stating they would arrive between 3:30 & 4:00. They finally arrived at the house at 5:00. As far as I'm concerned this was a delivery scam. Supposedly they give you a choice to reschedule if you don't want the time they quoted you. If I have known they were going to make such a late delivery I would have asked to be rescheduled.

    If you really want the customer to be informed why not have the driver give the customer a call before leaving the warehouse and inform them of your actual time you think you will arrive. Stop the game playing and be honest with the people you plan to service. The way I feel right now, if XPO is the delivery service for anything you want delivered go to another store.

I had seen many options on eBay and Amazon but ended up ordering from Lowe's thinking it's a local store and quality might be good. I didn't want to order a furniture product that I would have to return later. The desk arrived in time.

It didn't even look like a product that should be $100 in price. Let alone over $200. There were several issues: 1. The thing was made with a board and covered with a sheet which gave it dark wood color. However, the sheet was already peeling off. Ridiculous. I have never seen such a furniture product. Once I noticed that, I was able to see many places where the wood looking paper sheet wasn't pasted properly, or had started coming off.

    This is a LEMON SALE and I could not have expected it from a store like Home Depot (I thought Lowe's was like Home Depot but now I know it isn't - and would never go there again). 2. Eight holes for screws were missing (100% confirmed as those holes were shown in pictures in assembly guide) and so I had to force the screws in. 3. Some holes for screws were incorrectly placed. Those didn't have any metal inside and were very close to edge. I am sure that over 80% of consumers assembling this could have a 10 degrees deviation in the path of screw being inserted. Since the holes were right next to edge, unless one is a professional furniture assembler, one could do a 10 degrees variation, and it meant you lost that screw hole.

    Extremely low quality product. LEMON sale. So disappointing!!! Not only Lowe's but also our government that lets even these brands do LEMON sales. I would NEVER go to LOWE'S again and warn others as well. I never had this kind of issue with Home Depot, IKEA, Walmart, etc. Just spent this time so my fellow citizens don't go through bad experience with Lowe's, like I did.

    I am reading these reviews and just laughing. Lowe’s have scheduled a dishwasher delivery 5 (FIVE) times, with an impeccable 5-0 record. Home Depot isn’t any better, I gave up when their record was 5-0 as well, with the difference that you get human beings to talk to at Lowe’s. This is the course of the dishwasher, I know I will eventually get it delivered, in the meantime, will continue to hear the lies from Thomas, Isabel, Ruth and Paul from Lowe’s Meyerland store in Texas.

    Ordered a fridge and stove online. They called with a delivery date late after 8:00pm. I told them they need to come in the daytime, so they agreed they would schedule for Saturday 9:00 -11:00am window. 11:00 came and passed. I called and they said my order mysteriously disappeared from the computer when they were loading the truck and then reappeared a few hours later. I then asked, "I wasted a whole morning waiting for you." They promised to deliver the next day, Sunday. The fridge time passed, no delivery. The stove guys came, but refused to take my stove haul away even though I paid for it in the order and unplugged the stove. They took off not taking the old stove and failing to deliver the new one. Totally disgusted. Still have no appliances I paid for after staying home for 2 days. I will NEVER do business with Lowe's again. They lost a valued customer.

    We had ordered an oven at the local Panama City store back on the 18th of Nov 2017. We paid for it using our Lowe's credit card and had set up a deliver date of 2 Dec 2017. After we found out that we couldn't remove the old oven safely, we went to the store to pay the fee (on the 2nd) to have the old oven removed. It was only then that we found out that the oven we ordered was no longer in-stock. No one from the store had taken the time to call to let us know this or the fact they weren't going to deliver us this product. Had we not shown up to pay the hauling fee, we would've been at home waiting for a oven that wasn't going to be delivered. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've had a problem with this store, but it will be the last. As much as I appreciate how Lowe's supports the military, this kind of customer service is unsatisfactory.

    We placed an online order in the morning of 11/27 for 1 refrigerator, 1 washer, and 1 microwave. I never received a confirmation or processing email, so I contacted them 2 days later. I gave them my order number, and they told me that there was no such order. I assured them I had this number and that I had opened a Lowe's credit account. They passed me around to multiple people and then finally someone took my name and number and said they would discuss with the IT department and get back to me.

    I was called back about an hour later and told that there was no order and that they had no idea why it wasn't in the system when I had an order number, etc. I was instructed to place a new order. I then decided to go online and check the online account. An order was in my account folder, though it said status "unknown." Thinking maybe one of the stores listed to delivery maybe received the order, I called. They did not have the order, and I was instruct again to place a new order.

    At first I was excited since the microwave was $100 cheaper, but I quickly realized just how incompetent this company truly is --beyond minor web issues. About 8 hours after placing the order, I began receiving phone calls. They all instructed me to call back and set up a delivery time. I went to sleep and received yet another call around 8:15 in the morning. I answered this one. I was told they only had the microwave, that I would need to cancel the order and come into the store to place an order for my "special merchandise." I asked her why a web order would require me to come in, and she told me they were special orders since they didn't carrying them in stock. She wasn't very friendly, and I simply told her that they have big problems if their web orders require people to come in in person.

    After getting off the phone, I decided to check my voicemail. There were a few from a few different Lowe's representatives. One stated that I would be receiving my delivery today, between 9:30-11:30. At this point, it was 8:45 in the morning. I quickly called the number and was assured my appliances would be delivered today. I then raced around like mad emptying my refrigerator and preparing things for delivery. I ignored the fact that no one asked if that time worked, and I was just please to be receiving something.

    Around 12 I decided to call to find out where they were. I was assured that Truck Number ** was in a neighboring town and that I was next on his list. Around 2 I decided it was time to call again. This time I was told that the order was canceled at 8:15 this morning. I asked why. I was told my appliances were in a truck in transit when the order was canceled and he just said, "That was unfortunate."

    It looks like Lowe's ONLINE basically lets the stores fight over the orders and whoever can put it together then gets to make the sale. I received called from multiple stores, all telling me I needed to cancel the order and do X, Y and Z to get my appliance -save for the one that told me they were in transit. I did call and cancel the order. When asked the reason, I said Lowe's Incompetency. Amazingly, even after getting an email acknowledging such, the same place that swore they had a delivery for me today just called! Right now, 3 hours after canceling, telling me they would be delivering tomorrow from 10-12. I will never be shopping at Lowe's again.

    Paid full for a Samsung refrigerator and have had a terrible experience. We purchased the refrigerator on Sunday. My husband took off work to receive the delivery, only to find out they had no plans to deliver the refrigerator. After hours of trying to talk to a live person, he then spent hours trying to get things cleared up. They explained they did not have one in stock. So why would they sell us a refrigerator they didn’t have in stock? The next date was schedule for Thursday... they came, but then dented the refrigerator while setting it up in our kitchen.

    We refused the refrigerator and we were told they would replace it tomorrow. They said someone would call us tonight to agree on a time... no call. When my husband finally talked to someone, they said they could not deliver one because they did not have one. Bottom line, they just lie and tell you what they think will put you off. They have promised one from a shipment on Sunday to be delivered on Monday. We will see what happens. It seems that once they have your money, they drag their feet getting the product to you. I would not recommend this experience on anyone. Buy at a reliable place... not Lowe’s!

    I ordered a new stove online from the Lowe's in Sierra Vista, Az. When all the information was input I was informed online of a available to deliver date of Nov 29, 2017. I believe this is a computer function based on your physical location. I placed the order and the date automatically changed to November 30, 2017. I called and questioned why the date changed because a timely delivery was important. The number I called is the number which appeared if you had questions. It was a store requirement so fine. One day was no problem. Lowe's policy is to call the evening before and give a somewhat broad idea of when (morning or afternoon) the delivery would arrive and then the day of delivery a call when they are close to your home. No one called (this has also happened with other past deliveries) so at noon on the 30th I called. The schedule people connected me with a Tracie in the store.

    Tracie informed me she should have called but got busy and "dropped the ball". She kept talking and started to say the truck was not scheduled in the area I live that day. I also discovered my delivery date had been moved to Dec. 2. No one bothered to tell me. Completely fed up I told her to stop talking and listen which she did not like. Lowe's changed the date not me, no one called me, no one informed me of a new delivery date, The service is terrible but more so the communication is horrible or nonexistent. I have had delivery issues in the past but this time Lowe's and their employees caused this issue with bad information and lack of follow through. I expect a store to do their job, to take some kind of responsibility for their contact and interaction with customers. I will never purchase another large item from this store and allow delivery. This is the 3rd mess up with appliances from them.

    The worse part, I am a past employee who frequents the store and in fact was in the store the day before. Tracie should be moved to an area and not permitted to talk to customers. Sarcastic, was ready to tell me I wanted the delivery on a day they do not service my area when in fact the stores set this up. They should be pleased when customers walk through their doors and treat them well by listening to what they say. No more... I will shop elsewhere. I do not have a receipt as the product has not been delivered.

    We started the PROCESS 9/13/16. Still incomplete 11/28/17. The salesman was all about getting us to sign the contract and get the credit card charges going. I have never paid for something before it was installed before. But with Lowe’s in Port Charlotte we started paying in Dec. 2016. Was promised by the salesman that all would be installed by the 3rd week in Jan. 2017. That was good as we were moving from one house and going to sell. So all would be ready for us to move in when doors and windows were installed and get the other house on the market.

    I have called, emailed, text, correspondence 124 plus times I did not count 3 months. I have all documentation. No one would call. I had to call and see when doors and windows would be installed. When they came in they were wrong. Eastern Metals was the supplier. I called them. No response. Wrote letters. No response. I spent days, weeks taking off work to be home when they were to install and nothing. I would have to call. Installer told me wrong day. My husband took a week vacation when they were suppose to install. Some of the Windows were not ordered, others were wrong size. Doors were incorrect. Had to put aluminum foil over window in bathroom door for privacy. We call them THE WINDOW AND DOORS FROM HELL! I had to move furniture to middle of rooms so they could have access for installation.

    All rooms for we never knew which windows would come in. Lived with tarp over furniture as I had to clean white concrete dust EVERY TIME windows were installed due to the grinding out for new windows. Had carpets cleaned once while waiting for the REORDER to come in. So we could breathe. Need to do it again. Feel Lowe’s should pay for that. We could not sell our property because we could not move out. I have not had a life for a year.

    Can you imagine making all of those phone calls and time off from work? Customer service after months of my calling moved my case to Executive Support. They offered me $200.00 for my troubles. I think 5 percent for every month job was incomplete would be fair. We could have rented the other house if we could have been out. What if I had hired a cleaning service every time they put in one door or window. I had to clean every room the dust was in the pantry, clothes you name it. I still find where I missed. One year of cleaning and moving furniture not to mention when we had guest.

    It has/is a horrible experience and I am so tired of paying big money for this kind of service. I have submitted pictures to Lowe's Executive Support. Lowe's Corporate DOES NOT CARE about customers. I could go on with more details but I think the dates and 124 plus contact just to get a job complete speaks for itself. My advice always read reviews before you purchase ANYTHING!

Went to customer service and was “informed” that I could not use a credit for the fridge they have until it hits their store so I’m expected to pay for another one! Really...that’s total **! But I had given mine away so now begin without one, I had to pay for another one and was promised a refund that night when the truck returned.

    Well that was a lie. It’s now Wednesday night and I still do not have a refund. Every person I talk to give me another line and lie. Ok so the line was 72 hours, well since that didn’t happen, the new line is 5 business days. According to my bank since I used a debit card it should be in my account 30-45 minutes, but Lowe’s internal process is to keep your money!!! God only knows how long it will take, but I hope NO EVER buys another thing for this totally dishonest company...lies, lies, lies, that’s all you get. I have filed a complaint with the consumer affairs division within the State of FL along with the finding a place to file a complaint regarding their refund process, which is NOT on their website that they hold your funds for as long as they want.

    Purchased new refrigerator from Lowe's on 11/24 because ours went out. We have a newborn so we needed a quick replacement in order to keep her milk stored at the proper temperature. We were promised a delivery date of 11/26. Although we were expecting the next day red carpet delivery which is why we purchased from Lowe's, we agreed that waiting a day would be acceptable. At 9:21pm on 11/25, we received a call stating that our refrigerator was not put on the truck and would not be delivered on 11/26. Again, we were understandably disappointed but understand things happen and they promised to have it delivered Monday 11/27. I took off work so that I would be available all day because at the time we were not given a time frame. Later on, they had called and gave us the window of 7-9 pm. Again, not the most ideal considering I took off the whole day for the delivery.

    On Monday, 11/27 at 8:57, I call the delivery company because our refrigerator was never delivered. I was on the phone for over 20 minutes (mostly on hold waiting for someone to answer), only to be told that they ran out of time and would need to reschedule us for Wednesday or probably Thursday. We contacted the store because this is completely unacceptable. The store's response was that they could just issue a complaint about the delivery company! We just gave Lowe's over $2000 cash for a refrigerator that was supposed to be delivered next day, 3 Days later we still do not have our refrigerator, they gave our money and the only thing they can offer is a complaint about the delivery company?! My newborn needs her milk to survive, it must be stored properly to prevent spoiling and the only thing they can offer is to file a complaint?! Do not buy from Lowe's!!

    Today was a rainy day and it was not looking good. We had a carpet installation scheduled at 9am and the tech called us few minutes before his arrival. When he came in through the door he already told us that he did not have enough material to do the job. As you can see it did not go well from there. He measured the rooms again and confirmed that he could do 2 rooms and the 3rd room would have to wait at least 3 weeks. We have been already waiting and Lowe's took the payment upfront almost a month ago.

    My wife told the carpet guy that we wanted the master bedroom done by Tuesday and today is Wednesday before Thanksgiving. He said that he could not guarantee it but would contact his boss. After 5 minutes' conversation with his boss he got the order to stop the work and do not do anything just walk away from the job. We have moved all the furniture from the bedrooms to the hallway by now and the kids are expecting their rooms to be done when they arrive from school. So my wife had already gone to work and I took the day off to be available for the work. Lowe's called my wife and told her that they messed up on the cutting of the carpet and could not do the work on time. It would take another 3 weeks to get the right size carpet in. I am so angry with this whole thing that Lowe's will need to do better than this. Just not acceptable.

    I have always been a faithful Lowe's customer for years and have never missed a payment or had a late one at that. I opened my Lowe's credit card statement this morning as I was going to make my payment this evening and found my payment had doubled. Huh? I had made no purchases and I always pay a little more than minimum due. How was this possible? So I call customer service which was a headache trying to get to a real live person. I was told a late fee had been tacked to my account??? I made two payments last month. How is that possible? Well as a great customer we will waive it, great I thought... Problem solved???

    Nope then they told me I had a late payment from the month before, no I didn't. They were still waiting to charge me for that late payment???‍♂️. My minimum balance had skyrocketed to numbers I just couldn't squeeze into a fixed income, and was told I had to pay it regardless of waiving the late fee that was still reflective of the minimum due. Huh? I was polite and the first operator was as helpful as she could be, but I needed more clarification so I asked for a manager to speak with. She was rude, condescending, and talked to me in a tone that made me feel like I was a criminal of sorts???

    The problem went unresolved, I was told there was nothing she could do for me. So I after years of being a customer to Lowe's and never missing a beat when it came to payments, I closed my account... Why keep it if payments will skyrocket, fees are added without call, and you're treated like something someone stepped in because you need help! She even went as far to tell me to just go ahead and shred my card as soon as we get off the phone in a very snide tone. Not happy???‍♀️ And I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Mr. Appliance came within the week in August and never came back again! They never called or got back to me in any way, shape or form. I called 6 or 7 times and they said they would get back to me as soon as "Bob" got in... which never happened!

    Finally I started going through Lowe's for support and all they did was say the part was back ordered and they would get back to me.

As a matter of fact the sink was still advertised as available in 7 to 10 days when I checked. No one bothered to give me any apologies or explanation. Plus we were charged for it (about $400) and it is money that was gone from our pocket for over a month until it was returned.

    Where to begin... Well let's start with the problem, ACCOUNTABILITY. I ordered a complete appliance suite from Lowe's and received a call the evening before at (9:03 p.m) stating that my delivery time was scheduled between 10:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. the next day. So I take the day off from work in anticipation that during the specified time above a delivery truck will magically appear with my order.

    Unfortunately not the case... Instead I waited all day and well into the evening after dark for the third party delivery company to arrive with my order. Of course I called the local Lowe's store at 12:52 p.m. asking when to expect my delivery to arrive. I was given the runaround about how it was not Lowe's that was responsible, but the designated third party delivery service was to blame. (What about the confirmation phone call?) Hard to believe with today's technology that a phone call, text, or e-mail wasn't utilized to inform the customer the delivery will be delayed or postponed...

    I also find it somewhat hard to digest as it was not the third party delivery service that I paid over $2300 dollars too, nor was the phone call I received at 9:03 p.m. the evening beforehand from a third party delivery service. When addressing the Store Manager, (which by the way wasn't the Store Manager after all) I was told that this was not their fault but they apologize. Eager to take the customer's hard earned dollar to not be held accountable for delivery times.

    Would be one thing if...but that being said not everyone has a golden money tree at their disposal to take time off of work to wait for a delivery to show up which is why times are scheduled. The lack of accountability from Lowe's by outsourcing deliveries is unacceptable and aggravating at best. Had this been a one-time snafu it would be somewhat understandable, but apparently this happens quite a bit. In my line of business it's called failure to perform or better yet specific performance.

    Thank you for letting me rant and review your company's lack of accountability/poor customer service, and hopefully people will read this before making a decision to visit your store in Sevierville, TN. on Hwy 66. After all, there is a Home Depot directly across the street that will be more than happy to accommodate dissatisfied Lowe's customers. Well... I am glad I did not hit the enter button just yet as I just received a call from the third party delivery service that the driver just ran out of time at 6:46 p.m. and cannot deliver the appliances this evening... So here is another day off I will have to take in order to accommodate the delivery service and Lowe's Home Improvement. Simply pathetic...

I'm working on a personal project and decided to order material through the Lowe's in San Jose, off of Riddle. I went with them because the online store showed that it had the floor tile I wanted and enough of it to where I would not have to go to another store to get the rest. We tried the online order system and requested delivery. Somehow the Lowe's in Adam Bruno got my order and called to tell me they didn't have enough of what I needed. I knew this because I checked that store prior to ordering from the San Jose store.

    Well I canceled that order over the phone with a customer service rep from the San Jose store and reordered what I wanted by phone this time. I was on the phone with the San Jose customer service my entire commute home. It takes me 2 hours to get home. I was on hold for an hour of that time. The other hour was spent trying to get the right person on the phone to help me. I was able to order the material and quantity I needed for my personal project. All I had to do was drive to San Jose Lowe's and pick it up. So I get there today and no one knows anything. I spent 2 stupid hours waiting for incompetent Lowe's employees try to figure out where my order was.

    So I decide to go to the flooring department to check for myself. I could not find the product that their website said was in stock. I figured maybe they put my order to the side because the customer service representative said I was buying all of the tile they had in stock. I go back to the customer service desk to ask for the manager since no one could figure out if they had my order. The manager never comes after 30 minutes of waiting. Extremely frustrated! I left the store because my PTSD was flaming up quick! I've never felt with such incompetent people in my life. Lowe's corporate needs to spend some time training their staff on quality customer service. They just lost a business partner and a customer. Pathetic service! I'll spend the money to get what I need from more reliable vendors.

    I bought so many things from Lowe’s before. All of a sudden, I couldn't make online order, I couldn't make phone order, I couldn't even use my credit card. And I have to run into store to make purchase. What a hassle. If they don't update their system, they will lose all customers to Home Depot.

    On 9/10/17 I purchased a new Whirpool refrigerator WRX735SDHZ00. I received the fridge on 9/15/17. After 2.5 weeks the ice maker stopped working. I called Lowe's who suggested I follow all the troubleshooting tips in the manual. I followed every suggestion perfectly as described, waiting the suggested 24 hours to see if the problem persist. After wasting 5 days using the troubleshooting guide. I then called Lowe's back to get help on 10/18/17. However the repair tech couldn't come out until 10/24/17 so here is another week gone by. The repair tech came out said he has never seen the ice maker on a brand new fridge freeze up like this. He needed to see the back. However it was frozen so he broke the ice maker so he could see the back.

    He then said he was going to have to order parts but he doesn't want any cheap made in China parts. He said he was going to have to research why it did this then he would get back with me. It is now 11/6/17 and I haven't heard anything from the tech nor will he return any of my calls. I called Lowe's back to let them know it still hasn't been repaired so Candace with customer service tried to call the tech but had to leave a message also. She then assured me she was going to escalate this to her supervisor who would definitely call me either way to let me know something. I am still waiting on that call as well. After paying them over 1300.00 for this fridge I still have to use trays to have ice. I have also made a complaint with the BBB. This fridge needs to be replaced with a new one. I will never use Lowe's again, if you are smart you will not either.

    I hired Lowe's to do my kitchen install and the whole experience has been terrible!!! The day of the install the contractor told me they were unable to do the install because I needed a subfloor and that was missed during the estimate. On top of that they told me they didn't do subfloors and I'd have to find someone else to do the subfloor and to call them back once it was done. Needless to say I will not be doing any more business with Lowe's.

    Customer service is horrible at the Tampa Palms store. I usually shop Amazon but needed an item right away. NEVER AGAIN. I specifically waited in the online order line for nearly 30 minutes just to be told that I have to get in the customer service line which was already extremely long. I asked to speak to the mgr. The cashier called and whispered something to the mgr. She hung up and told me that the mgr. was with another customer. I waited for a while then decided to finally leave. A waste of time and gas.

    I will never purchase a single item from Lowe's. We bought a refrigerator on Halloween. That fridge was supposed to be delivered on Thursday. Lowe's sold our refrigerator to someone else and didn't bother calling us until 4pm that day. Kyle, my husband, went to Lowe's and bought another refrigerator Thursday evening that would be delivered yesterday. The delivery guys show up but asked us to take a look at it. The ground prong is completely missing so the delivery guys wouldn't even take it off the truck. I immediately called their corporate office who was no help at all. We went back to the store and spoke with the Sr. Manager, Tim, who got us another fridge and promised delivery first thing this morning.

    We still do not have a refrigerator. We called and the delivery manager isn't even sure we will have one today. In the meantime, I'm calling corporate again who threatens to call the police on us for harassment. I'm sitting in my house trying to get their help and have gotten nowhere. They have yet to even take accountability or responsibility by apologizing for their screwups. So we are now on day 4 of no fresh food to eat. I have infant twins and not having a refrigerator is nearly impossible to live without when you have young children.

    I had a Lowe's installed premium architectural shingle roof totaling $15,457.04 (shingles, plywood, and labor) on 9/24/2013. The last four years have been a nightmare. Installation took three days, performed by a Subcontractor in Middle River, Maryland called Amazing Home Contractors. Immediately upon completion, I noticed that something looked off about the roof. I contacted Lowe's and two weeks later, shingles were repaired that were blocking the gutter. I thought all was good now, but I was wrong. The following summer, major issues began.

    On 7/18/2014 Lowe's & Amazing Home Contractors were dispatched to investigate a leak coming from recessed lighting in my family room. They claimed the leak was an abnormality due to the high winds and storm. On 9/18/2014 Lowe's & Amazing Home Contractors were dispatched to investigate a leak which I identified as coming from the valley area of the roof. "Repairs" to the valley were performed. On 3/12/2015 Lowe's & Amazing Home Contractors were dispatched to investigate the same leak in the valley area which was supposedly repaired. At this point, I had videos and photos of the leak coming out of recessed lighting. The area was "repaired" again.

    On 10/28/2015 Lowe's & Amazing Home Contractors were dispatched to investigate the SAME leak in the valley area. It was determined that the area needed to be redone with a "California Valley." The fix was performed. On 8/25/2016 Lowe's & Amazing Home Contractors were dispatched to repair shingles that had fallen off the outer gambrel of the home. The shingles were replaced.

    On 7/11/2017 a neighbor informed me that shingles from the outer gambrel had fallen off the roof and into the gutter and grass. This time, I believed that the manufacturer, Owens Corning, provided faulty shingles. I contacted Owens Corning and began a claim which required sending full shingles to their lab. I also contacted a completely different roofer to remove the shingles to send to Owens Corning, but was informed that the shingles were installed improperly. The roofer informed me that the shingles were nailed above the nail line and that the adhesive alone was holding the front and back of the shingle together. Because the shingles were nailed above the nail line, the front face of the shingle slid right off.

    At this point, I had enough. I contacted Lowe's Corporate Office at least 13 different times between 7/12/2017-8/1/2017. Initially, I was told that Lowe's wanted to correct the issue even though it had been years since installation. They were going to send an adjuster out to investigate but never did. And ultimately, the Lowe's Corporate supervisor, Joe **, never returned our calls or responded to my messages.

    I had to replace all recessed lighting, repair drywall, and paint which cost over $1600. I sought legal advice in September 2017. We hired a roofing company to perform a full inspection of the roof ($350 cost) and every single area inspected was found to be installed incorrectly. Shingles were nailed way above the nail line; the manufacturer requires to stage each course of shingle to be at least 6 inches and some of the sections are 4 and 4.5 inches.

    On the section of the roof with a 4/12 pitch (ties into mansard), the transitions are supposed to have custom vent step flashing and the vent the shingles to create California Valley. On transitional the lower roof with the mansard shingles, some of those shingles were ripped due to the pressure from improper installation. Ultimately, my attorney advised that we had exceeded the 3 year statute of limitations. Pursuing legal action at this time would be risky. We ended up hiring the company that performed the inspection to repair the worst areas of the roof which was completed this week.

    I purchased a dryer on 9/4/2017 and had it delivered and installed by Lowe's. We kept smelling something in our house that smelled like electrical melting. We checked everything in our house but could not locate. We never thought to check our new dryer. The smell got really bad at the end of October so we disconnected everything in the area to see if we could figure out what it was. We figured out that it was the dryer. The plug had melted and damaged our 220 electric. I called the Lowe's repair number. They set up an appointment with an outside company to come fix. They said they would be here between 9 and 5. The company called me the morning they were coming to see what was going on.

    I told them what happened and they said it was faulty installation and would not be covered even though I also purchased the Lowe's extended warranty. That I would have to contact Lowe's store. Called them, they said they would notify warehouse and have them call me. No call was received after waiting six hours so I drove to the store to talk to a manager. He said he couldn't do anything for me because after you purchase it the store is no longer involved. He gave me phone number of manager at the delivery and installation warehouse. Called them. They had to call back. No return call so I called them again and was told I had to call Lowe's repair.

    Told them I spoke to them and repair person they gave me said it was Lowe's issue not warranty due to installation problem. He said he would take care of. He sent his top installer to come look at damage. The guy came with no tools to take 220 cap off or back of dryer to see damage. I gave him tools to use and he took pictures. Then no one calls the next day. I call warehouse manager again and was told he is off for four days. I had no dryer all week. I told them this and they said they would call me back. Nothing! This could of caused a house fire had me and my husband not caught this. Never will I purchase from Lowe's again. Unfortunately I purchase three appliances on the day I bought the dryer.

I then thought, well maybe he doesn't work for Lowe’s. I said, don't they pay you, he stated, "NO". We only get paid for the first visit for labor, after that nothing. This isn't my problem.

    I recently had the following experience with Lowe's: I ordered a bathroom vanity online in July 2017 for a remodel project. On the date that my tracking number said it was to be delivered, it did not show up. After calling, I was given the phone number for the freight service. They told me that Lowe's had never provided them with my phone number, so they had no way to contact me to schedule delivery. The vanity was delivered by a large truck with a lift and a man with a forklift put it in my garage. I opened the top of the box, but did not remove the Styrofoam. It looked okay and I accepted the delivery. On 10/2, we were finally ready to install the vanity in the remodeled bathroom. Upon opening the box completely, we saw that two of the corners (covered by Styrofoam) were broken.

    I called Lowe's Customer Care number. The person advised me that I needed to arrange for the pick up of the old vanity and ordering of the new one through the store closest to my house. I called Lowe's in Arvada, CO and spoke initially to Tameka, a manager. She said she would try to figure out whether or not they could just replace the top or whether or not she would need to replace the whole thing. She said she would call me back. I called again on 10/3 and spoke with a different person who said they would try to figure it out, but that he would take care of it and would call me back. On 10/4 I again called and was told that it had all been taken care of and the new vanity was set to arrive on 10/12. However, this was the day that a shower door I had also ordered would be ready for pick up. I was skeptical that this person was looking at the right thing, but he assured me he was.

    On 10/6 I again called the Arvada store and the person said they had no record of the previous calls and transferred me to Kyle in Plumbing. Kyle told me that I would need to call the Lowe's vendor. I called the vendor who said that they had no record of this order in their system and transferred me to Customer Care. I spoke to Abby in Customer Care who told me that it had not been reordered and that there was no record of my calls or of the problem. She assured me she was escalating this and that either she or the manager at Lowe's Arvada would call me back that same day. Nobody called me back.

    On 10/9 I again called the Arvada store and spoke to Tameka. She again had no record of the previous calls but remembered speaking to me the week before. She assured me she was taking care of it right then. She said someone would be coming to pick up the old one on 10/10 and that she would be unable to order the new one until they had picked up the old one. She later called me back and said that they would not be able to pick up the old one after all, but that she had ordered the new one and it was on its way. She said I could call the Lowe's vendor for tracking information. On 10/10 I spoke to Randy at Lowe's vendor who said it had been reordered but that he didn't have tracking information. He said he would call me on 10/12 with the information. He never called me. On 10/13 I spoke to Tim at Lowe's vendor who said it was showing a ship date of 10/16 and that it would arrive 3-5 days after it shipped.

    On 10/16 I received a call from Randy at the Lowe's vendor who said it was showing a ship date of 10/17 and gave me the tracking information for Seko delivery service. He said it would arrive in Denver on 10/24 and that they would call me to arrange delivery once it arrived in Denver. On 10/24 I called Seko and was told to call the Denver delivery company to arrange delivery. They said they had not called me to provide me with the delivery information because they did not have my phone number. I called the Denver delivery company and was told they would deliver it on 10/27.

    On 10/27, a man in a small van arrived and told me that I would need to find 2 additional men to help him unload it. I told him that the previous one had been delivered with the necessary equipment to move it. He said that the best he would do was leave it on the street for me. I said I could get one person to come help and that the 3 of us would be able to do it. He responded that he would need two additional men. This was extremely offensive. At this point I said I would like to open the box completely in the van before proceeding. When I opened the box, I saw that it was a completely different vanity than the one I had ordered. I refused the delivery.

    On 10/27 I called and spoke with a manager at Lowe's Arvada and told him that the new vanity was not what I had ordered and asked if I could just return the old one for a refund. He told me that they did not want the old broken one and that he would issue the refund that day. I did not see the refund on my credit card, so I again called Lowe's in Arvada on 10/29 and spoke to manager, Jonathan. He could not find any record of the order or the refund. He said he would speak to Tameka when she returned from lunch in 30 minutes and would call me back. Two hours later, without a return call, I called Lowe's Customer Care and spoke to Trayvon. He found the order immediately, put me on hold for a few minutes, and when he came back said he had issued the refund. An hour later Jonathan called me back to say that the refund had gone through.

    As you can see from this timeline of events, this was a really frustrating experience. Nobody seemed to know what they were doing. Half of the time they couldn't find my order in the computer. None of them had records of the previous calls. It was as if Lowe's customer care, Lowe's vendor and Lowe's Arvada were all using completely different computer systems that did not communicate with each other. Multiple times I was told I would get a call back, and never did. This was one of the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. It has delayed our remodel project by over a month. I can assure you, I will never shop at Lowe's again.

    I ordered a Frigidaire Electric Range from Lowe's, none in stock. It qualified for free delivery and set up so I took advantage of it. It arrived and date set for delivery, already removed my old one. The Nightmare began. Lowe's sends 1 man and a boy, they had a difficult time lifting the range. Apparently they were not too strong. They finally get the range near where it's to be placed and they have it lifted up and suddenly, SLAM! I hear a loud smash. They dropped it from about a foot off the floor unto my new hardwood flooring. Luckily it did not damage my flooring, but I was worried that the range took a terrible drop and may have been affected. The "Kid" stated they get smashed around all the time a lot worse than that in the back of the truck (I really needed to hear that). He also went on to tell me how much he hated his job and was waiting to be fired.

    The older man set up the range while the "kid" complained. I asked if they were sure it was level and they said, "Ya!" I said, "I don't see a level", The kid said we can't have them because they get stolen by the drivers. I was dumbfounded. I just knew this range was not going to be right and I was correct. I tried baking several times and everything burned, I lowered the heat and still burning anything I tried to bake. I called Lowe's within days and demanded they get me another Range, I told them it was because they had dropped the one they delivered. I even contacted Frigidaire.com (they were great) and they agreed it could have been damaged from being smashed down with such force. I did get the second Range and the SAME delivery "KID". A smart mouth punk, a wise guy, bad attitude and very rude.

    He tried to tell me that there was nothing wrong with the range he delivered. It was ME, I just needed to get accustomed to the newer ranges because they burn hotter! I said, "Are you an idiot? I was not only a Nurse but I was also a Pastry Chef", I had made wedding cakes and used an oven before he was born. What he was saying made no sense, It was like telling someone a new car goes faster than an older one, If you are going 65 mph you are going 65 mph. If the oven temp is set on 400 it is 400 degrees how can it cook hotter? Once he left I called Lowe's store and explained how rude this 'Kid" was and how he wanted me to check off all the things he did and sign the slip and I would not do it. He did not leave me a copy of receipt for my records and I wanted one mailed to me, they said they would. I never did receive any receipt. They also were to speak to him about being rude and smart mouth but sure they did not.

    I did have an issue with the second range and I never contacted Lowe's, I contacted Frigidaire.com direct and received immediate service. I don't recommend Lowe's for any major appliances and never have them install anything, they have NO experienced employees. I am not adding an order number as all has been taken care of, I just wanted to make other consumers aware of Lowe's bad business practices and very sassy and rude delivery persons.

    I ordered a dishwasher online with special instructions to deliver it to a tenant’s address. Getting the email of the order, I see that the order specified delivery is to my home. I call to ensure delivery and scheduling to go the tenant, rather than me. I also confirm that the dishwasher will be installed. I’m assured it will be. Four days later, I call again to check on the order, since I (or my tenant) had not heard from them. I’m told that the order was canceled for some unknown reason. I asked if anyone was planning on letting me know that. Not happy, I asked to leave a complaint. I was transferred to someone else, and rather than try to fix the old order, we started over.

    This time I’m told there’s a $170 additional charge for installation and take away of old dishwasher, and that I also needed a power cord. I’m also told that there plenty of these dishwashers in stock, so she couldn’t understand why the previous order was canceled. No one mentioned the power cord in the prior order. So, ok, we have a new order and that it would be completed in 2 days. Not so much, the installer called ME, instead of my tenant to schedule the install... to be done in the following week. I explained that he needed to call my tenant to schedule, not me. That was 3 days ago, and he still hasn’t called my tenant. I left another message with the contractor that he needs to schedule it with the tenant. It seems like everyone I’ve spoken to at Lowe’s is incompetent. Why is that?

    Bought carpet and engineered wood at Lowe's with their promotion to install. We should have known from the start based on the upfront experience that this was the wrong choice. The person who came out and provided the estimate and review gave us wrong advice -- as a result the installers would not remove some trim work (The person who did the estimate said it would not be a problem). The materials ordered were items we did not need (but added to the cost). The installer level the floor but afterwards there was a dip. (We were told it was in TOLERANCE -- but why not do it right when you charged me to level it?)

    The stair nose was not flushed on the steps -- that was in TOLERANCE and the installer did not think it was an issue. The installer told after the installation allow 3-4 hours -- so we left for the day. I sat down at the top of the stairs where apparently a dark paste/marker was applied -- that stained my pants -- we placed a cover over the top stair. Too many.

    Bottom line get someone reputable that cares about quality. Lowe's will tell you that have 1 year in case there are issues and your satisfaction. What they don't tell you is up to them to decide that quality. And the installers, care about speed -- not quality. And, should you disagree -- now, you have to go pay someone else for that quality. My advice, avoid the sales talk. The quality in assessment and installation is not present. You will wish you had paid a little more to have it done RIGHT. We will not use Lowe's nor recommend them again.

    I purchased a backsplash from Lowe’s back in June of this year. The tile and labor came out to $1400. Lowe’s subcontracts their work to a company named Ultimate Home Services out of Wilmington DE, who are a bunch of second-rate self-employed contractors that can’t find their own work. The first installer came out and did a horrible job. None of the tile was even, the ends were crooked, there were numerous pin holes in the grout and there were pieces of tile sticking out. I called to complain and after it was inspected by a supervisor from Ultimate Home Services I was told that the entire backsplash had to come out and redone. The second installer came out and proceeded to cut the backsplash out, drywall and all, with a reciprocal saw. He replaced the drywall but because he apparently was in a hurry he only screwed it in instead of taping sparkling the spaces as well.

    He put the new backsplash in which came out better than the first, but in doing so damaged our granite countertop with the saw, blew out a GFI circuit, left holes and unfinished tile behind the oven, left a hole on the wall where the backsplash ends on the one side, put a hole in the window sill and never bothered to finish a small area which extends behind the refrigerator. He apparently also never sealed the backsplash where it meets the granite countertop and now the grout is cracked and falling off. I again called to complain and again Ultimate Home Services sent out a supervisor to assess the damages. He took photos and said that he would do a report. After several days his office called us and offered $300.00 to repair our damage. My wife and I saved for several years to get granite which cost us $6000.

    I turned the money down and I told one of the assistant store managers named Scott, who is about as useful as an ingrown toenail, that I wanted to get my own contractor to do the work and that I would get at least two estimates. I also asked that they have Colonial Marble, who installed the granite to come out and assess the damage. During this I am also working with a customer service agent from Lowe’s, but who is equally frustrated when she has reached out to the store to get the OK from the manager to have Colonial Marble come out. She finally got the work order to send Colonial Marble out but that was after I called the store and requested the name and telephone number of the regional manager. Colonial finally came out and they were able to repair the small holes in the granite. Holes that were not there before this backsplash ordeal, granite countertops that my wife and I paid $6000 for.

    Through this ordeal I attempted to speak with the store manager at Lowe’s named Jason. I’ve stopped in several times, I’ve called several times, but I’m always told that he is not there. Does this guy ever work. You would think that as A store manager he would reach out to his customers when something like this occurs. I have requested through Scott and the customer service representative that the entire cost of the backsplash be taken off my Lowe’s card. If this was an appliance were something I could take back I would. Scott laughed and said, "We can’t do that right now."

    The customer service representative said one thing at a time. So I called my Lowe’s card and disputed the charges. Never again will I purchase anything from Lowe’s. If I need rugs I will go to a rug store. If I need tile I will go to a tile store. After all the money I have spent at Lowe’s three years you would think they care about their customers. Obviously they do not. I am still in the middle of getting estimates to fix the rest of my tile and the other damages caused by the installer. Not to mention my kitchen has to be repainted since the last contractor told me he would have to cut out a piece of drywall and replace it with a new piece to do the repair properly.

    Bought a Haier refrigerator at Lowe's, after 6 months the product stopped working. Called Lowe's to get a repairman to come out and fix it. Was told I had to contact the producer of the refrigerator and they would have to get it fixed. This went on for about 2 weeks until they informed me there was no service available. I was then told I would have to set up a day and time for Lowe's to come and pick up their product. I would not receive a refund until they came and picked up the item. I went to Lowe's and put in a date and time for Lowe's to come and pick up the product. This went on for another 2 weeks, I called Lowe's to figure out why their service guy did not come to get the refrigerator on the day and time I was told he would be there. They never put in the paperwork, so they told me it would be another week before they could pick up the product.

    The guy picked up the refrigerator 3 days after the call, never called or informed us the product was being picked up. Lowe's informed me we would be refunded in 24 hours. Waited another week, still no refund. When I called Lowe's they had misplaced the product and could not find it. Had to wait another week to hear anything. I finally went back to the store, took my original receipt and talked with a manager. Finally was able to get money back. Placed a food loss claim over a month ago, called Lowe's to figure out what was the hold up, and again they did not place the order in. The claims department found the claim but said I needed to complete a new form. I will never do any business with Lowe's, they are highly unprofessional and if something goes wrong with a product you are very likely not to get the help you need. For me it took over months for Lowe's to get anything done.

    I ordered some fence material 9/27 and to date I have not received it. I was told on 6 different occasions that my order was being delivered and it never came! On top of which no one calls you either to let you know they are not coming and it’s a nightmare just to get someone on the phone to give you a straight answer. Three of the six times they said they were coming, after calling a million times I was told the flatbed broke down. Meanwhile $1600 plus has already been taken from my account a month ago and I still don’t have my items. I am so frustrated.

    I will NEVER shop at Lowe's for anything ever again! The worst experience of my life! They have not even called one time to express empathy about this situation or give a straight answer as to why I don’t have my items. I keep calling every day, most days no one even answers the phone. I spoke to the Mngr Rudy once and he didn’t seem to care at all. I was ripped off by this company and will be taking legal action.

    Some Lowe's employees at the 78717 (zip code) store have provided great customer service, but I had the bad experience that follows. Lowe's is MUCH more expensive than Home Depot, that's why Home Depot has more business I learned. I didn't check with IKEA & maybe I should have. Lowe's contracted with Counter Source to install granite countertops in my kitchen. The granite broke in pieces when 2 installers were putting it around the stove area. The granite was too heavy for 2 people. One installer mentioned their 3rd worker was off. The head installer would have installed it gluing all the pieces together had I not been there. The head installer was furious because I stopped him from continuing to install the granite pieces & I told him I didn't pay for pieces of granite to be installed, & I found out later that he was furious because he pays for the granite he breaks.

    Lowe's allowed Counter Source to handle this problem though we kept going back & forth with Lowe's & Counter Source numerous times! When the SAME installers showed up on Day 2 the main installer was still VERY furious at me for not allowing the installation of broken granite the 1st time. He left a blade on my countertop. I told him to please remove because it camouflaged with the granite & it was a hazard. He just looked at me & later I found out he left it there as I cleaned the granite with a wad of paper towels. I could have cut myself. The installers also attempted to remove the dishwasher & left the bottom grill cover sticking out. On Day 2 they just left that grill loose & didn't put it back. I had to ask the plumber with Lowe's when he was here if I could pay him to fix it for me because I didn't want the same installers coming to my home...

    Counter Source apologized via email mentioning they don't operate like that, but their employees represent the company! AND on another issue, but at the same time: Lowe's was VERY slow at providing help to replace my floors because an employee was taking days off every week SO by the time they followed up on the floors it was too late. I'm selling my home as is.

    Long story short, was told I could not use existing hoses for new washing machine if I wanted delivery guy to hook up, so forced to buy $28 dollar hoses. Delivery guys was inexperienced and didn't even know how to turn the water off before hooking up machine, since he did not know how to get his job done, he suggested that I use the old hose! Knowing his company policy prohibits... I ended up calling the city to turn off the water which was so easy. This delivery guy should have known and been trained or don't offer customers hook up service. Lowe’s lost my business on this one, inexperienced delivery guys is a big no-no.

    No matter the time of day, when I go to Lowe's in Norwalk, CT and try to get large building materials cut so I can get them in my car, anyone and everyone that is near that department vanished into thin air. Someone has hidden or thrown away the help button from back there, and I have stood back there calling the customer service desk in the front from my cell over and over requesting assistance be sent to that area. It literally takes me less time to drive to and from the store than the time I spend waiting for help!!! You would think in an area of the store with so many large, heavy and awkward products someone would be nearby, if only for the sake of their liability!!! But no. Sadly no.

    Most other departments there are no better, including the outdoor landscape materials area with its mountains of stone. The employees are basically brain dead idiots, and it is faster for me to look on the Lowe's website to find the location of a product in the store than to ask any employee I may happen to stumble upon. I’ve been told by employees they don’t even carry a product, then a quick online search shows me they do. Getting anyone to get something off a high shelf also proves near impossible. I wanted a specific type of drywall mud and had the employee try to talk me into an inferior brand stacked nearby on the floor so he wouldn’t have to get the product I came to purchase off the upper shelf. I hate this store and try to avoid it at all costs, but there are a few things they carry that our local Home Depot does not.

    Sept 11, 2017 we ordered flooring and was told delivery from the factory would be Oct 15. We were to sign the installation contract after they measured. I called four times after measurement and repeatedly they did not call back. Finally they got the measurements but failed to contact us. Last year we had the same flooring, and they over-inflated the measurements by 100 feet for both materials and installation. This is in excess of the 10% scrap allowance. Again this year they over-inflated the materials by 100 feet, which resulted in a second order. This second order has been sitting at the store, we were not contacted.

    It took us three hours at the store to get a correct contract for installation. I was told that I couldn't get the 0.89/ft. installation price if I didn't order the underlay also. The Pergo flooring comes with it already attached. I was told they don't trust my measurements, I told them fine... I'll just return all of the extra when the job is done and get a credit.

    This morning Oct 16 I called to see if the first order was delivered, it was due in yesterday. Clerk told me she'd check and call back. This afternoon I called and got the same clerk and she said it should be in the next couple days. I asked, "How do you know? Did you check?" She said she'd have to ask the manager... I waited on hold until I was disconnected. An hour later I got a call from another clerk who said my first order was not placed due to a glitch in their system. He said I have to issue you a credit that can take up to a week to process and that I have to place another order. I told him we had been waiting over a month. How long will it take to get the new order? He said, "When it gets here." My furniture is piled in all the bedrooms so the new floor can go down. I was promised a call when the material comes in so that we can schedule installation... FAT CHANCE.

    Updated on 01/18/2018: Lowe’s Complaint - Flooring Depot Muskegon Michigan store 0199. Sept 11, 2017 we ordered flooring and was told delivery from the factory would be Oct 15. We were to sign the installation contract after they measured. I called four times after measurement and repeatedly they did not call back. Finally they got the measurements but failed to contact us. Last year we had the same flooring, and they over inflated the measurements by 100 feet for both materials and installation. This is in excess of the 10% scrap allowance. Again this year they over inflated the materials by 80 feet, which resulted in a second order of another 100 feet. This second order has been sitting at the store, we were not contacted. It took us three hours at the store to get a correct contract for installation, each time it was written up wrong.

    I asked him to correct the telephone number on the order that was incorrect and still on the third try, it’s wrong. I was told that I couldn't get the .89/ft installation price if I didn't order the underlay also. The Pergo flooring comes with it already attached. I was told they don't trust my measurements, I told them fine... I'll just return all of the extra when the job is done and get a credit.

This afternoon I called and got the same clerk and she said it should be in in the next couple days. I asked... “How do you know? Did you check?” She said she'd have to ask the manager... I waited on hold until I was disconnected.

    An hour later I got a call from another clerk who said my first order was not placed due to a glitch in their system. He said, “I have to issue you a credit that can take up to a week to process and that I have to place another order.” I told him, “We had been waiting over a month. How long will it take to get the new order.” He said when it gets here. Really? Oh it’s been sitting in the warehouse and can be here in 2-3 days. Will someone call? Sure. My furniture is piled in all the bedrooms so the new floor can go down. I was promised a call when the material comes in so that we can schedule installation... FAT CHANCE.

    Called 10/21, 10/21, 10/22, 10/22... Yep. The reorder was not placed and they can't find the order. Although my visa was charged. I called to customer service and asked to speak with a manager..and I got the same man. The order is being placed for a third time today with estimated delivery next. Thursday. The manager says... “Normally the material is picked up by the installer.” I told him, “No it has to acclimate for 3 days.” He says… “It does?” I told him to correct the phone number, and he said, “There's also a number for the cell. That is the wrong number also.” Only after the material is actually here and we have it 3 days can it be installed, so now we're looking at the very soonest October 29th. I will update this complaint with back up information when finally completed.

    This is the follow up of my prior complaint. The flooring was delivered 10/26. I called to have the installer scheduled. She said I needed to call them, I told her I didn't know who to call. Installation was done 10/31. The installer said we don't need the 4 transition pieces, but that we would require a subfloor to ensure the floor was level from the prior installation. We paid the installer an additional 460.00 for labor and material for subfloor. On 11/2 I returned 6 boxes of flooring and 4 transition pieces that were not installed. In addition I have one box I am keeping that is 95% unused. It took 1/2 hour to process this return... sales receipt trans # ** time 11:02 thru trans #** time 11:27.

    I asked for a refund of the .89ft installation charges on the uninstalled material I was returning. She said the installation is priced per job, not by the foot. I had her send someone from flooring, who told me she would call the installer to see how much wasn't installed. I told her it's sitting right here on the pallet. She said she'd call me later that day. On 11/4 I called and spoke with Sam, who later called back and said it wasn’t taken care of. Yesterday 11/8 I called and the girl said...”Oh I thought someone else called you back.” She stated the installer said he was only paid for what was installed and there would be no refund, I asked to speak with the manager and he wouldn't get on the phone, she said he told her to transfer me to central production where I would have to answer a bunch of questions and she would transfer me. I was put on hold and not transferred.

    Now let me give you proof…transaction number one dated 9/11 Sales person Timothy ** photo attached. Required nine calls. Transaction number two dated 9/25 sales person Robert ** project number ** photo attached. This required 3 calls and three hours for him to write up the project number. Transaction number three dated 10/17 to reorder transaction number one was done over the telephone. This required four calls. Transaction number four dated 10/22 to reorder transaction number three was done over the telephone. This required three calls. Now, the credit that I am entitled to is as follows: your project number ** I was charged 408.79 labor. Labor is based on .89/ft.

    There was 7 boxes not installed at 20.62 ea= 144 feet. Purchased 23 boxes at 20.62 = 474 feet then installed was 330 feet at .89= 293.70. Credit due balance uninstalled is 115.09. Also credit due is 15.00 charged for lead test that was not done. Well it’s been seven days…in the meantime I called to have the installer to return because we have a large hump in the middle of our floor. We were told we would get a call within 48 hours to schedule an appointment. l called on the 14th, it's now the 17th.

    Does anyone at Lowe’s believe in customer service??? Well it has now been four days since the resubmittal. No response. In the meantime, picture attached...I again had to call customer service to get the installer to contact us. On 11/20/17 the installer attempted to fix our floor but was unable to because they didn’t nail down the subfloor. The floor will have to be pulled up and reinstalled. The work is scheduled for 11/26. 1/18/2018. We did not receive a resolution to our complaint. We were overcharged for the installation labor in the amount of 115.00. The labor is calculated on footage, seven boxes at 120 ft per box were not installed and returned. Also the installer did not nail down the sub-flooring that they installed. The entire floor buckled and had to be pulled up and reinstalled. Steve (customer service direct line **) was involved during this process. He assured us that he would handle our refund.

    In addition we were charged 15 dollars for a lead test that was not done. Steve had Sam call us and then he didn't follow up, he told us to go back to customer service at the store where we returned the flooring. Sue looked up the returns and said that she'd take care of it after she spoke with the cashier at the return counter. No one called us back so I called Steve ** who assured us for the fourth time that he's take care of this. We received a follow up call from Steve on 12/25/17 that he was still working on it. Lowe’s spends how much each year on advertising to get new customers, yet can't hire competent help in their customer service??? This complaint is going to be posted daily on every consumer review board that I can sign up for. Everyone reading this...please call Steve!!!

    Placed an online order for black chain link fence at Cedar Rapids Lowe's. Lowe's called and said that order was ready to be picked up within a few hours. Went to pick up order next day as call was close to closing time. Found out that order was not complete as some of the stuff was "special order" and had to be ordered - this was not shown on order at all. The stuff that was there was not all there when counting, had to go grab the missing pieces. The pricing on the sheet did not make much sense either... order 6 of something and the line said 5 at one price and then the other line said 1 at a different price.

    This happened on multiple items and the prices varied from a few cents to close to a dollar. Nobody could explain why. Took order home, called a week later to check on order was told another week. Lowe's called later that week to say that latches that were ordered were not compatible with gates. Lowe's then said the order was not special order and everything was in store. Went to pick up remaining order and they did not have the posts... computer showed 38 on hand and they had one. Prices from online to store on corner post were $18 difference. Had to return latches to get different ones and they put them on a Lowe's card because I was going to repurchase the other ones.

    After finding out they didn't have anything and wasting 3 hours, told Lowe's to forget it. Came home and loaded up everything and returned it all! They kept saying they had the posts but they didn't. They said they would reverse the credit on the gift card and credit it back on the cc, then said they couldn't do it because it was the weekend. Lowe’s said they would call on Monday when they had the charges reversed. No call. Called to talk to asst manager and Jason ** wouldn't take my call. Went to store and Jason wouldn't come out of office to talk to me. Asst manager Joseph ** said it would take a few days. My best advice would be to not order anything online or otherwise because this is a huge headache. Not the first time problems have happened on orders online or otherwise.

    Ordered carpet and install from Lowe’s. We were mislead to believe they would secure or replace floorboards as part of carpet installation. This didn’t occur and was the main reason for replacement. The installers were very rude and damaged walls, scratched hardwood floor and there were issues with install. Foreman blatantly ignored me when trying to discuss the install and I felt like I was a hostage in my own home for 8 hours.

    I notified the local Lowe’s store of the issue and have been passed around for the last 3 months with no resolution. They only use one installer and they wanted me to let them back into the house to fix. I refused to let them in my home after my first experience. The other solution they offered was to have one of their local employees to come at the same time the installers came and I agreed. We were at that stage and then the person handling at Lowe’s passed it off and I had to start all over.

    I talked with the assistant manager at the store and he was rude and snarky to me. At this point I would just like 25% refund to get the carpet fixed and for my time and treatment. However, there seems to be no management at Lowe’s or corporate that cares about how I was treated by their subcontractor or quality of their services.

    From the reviews of Lowe's I've seen online, the quality of work must depend heavily on the quality of the local installers they hire. Lowe's hired Keller Interiors or Orlando to install about 800 square feet of tile in two bedrooms and a bathroom at my residence in the Daytona Beach, Florida area, and I must say, the installers did a superb job. The price was also significantly lower than other contractors we got quotes from.

    We were told the installation would take 5 days but it only took 3. The workers were fast, skilled, courteous, and very professional. The quality of the tile installation was superb. On our upstairs wooden subfloor, they screwed the Durock underlay down with plenty of screws spaced about 6 inches apart so that the floor would not squeak as well as be more secure. They ran chalk lines at key places on the floor to establish a balanced tile pattern in relation to doors and walls and keep all tile runs straight. They used spacers on every tile so all grout lines were perfectly straight and consistent. The grout was consistently level with the tile surface everywhere.

    They went beyond what was asked of them and replaced about 12 feet of wooden bathroom baseboard with tile. The installers did their masonry mixing and such outdoors on old pieces of our carpet that was being removed, and they cleaned up their mess at the end of each day so we didn't have to walk through dust, dirt, scraps, etc. The installers worked hard and fast, didn't even take lunch breaks and worked from 8:30 am to 5 pm. I felt so bad for them I gave them lunch one day. They were from Bryan Tile in Kissimmee, FL, a small group of Puerto Rican and Cuban-Americans. Very nice, hardworking, conscientious gentlemen.

    Before the installation, Keller sent an estimator who took measurements with a laser measure and used a brilliant software app on a tablet to create an accurate scale drawing of our floorplan with all transition details, etc. They then used that to create a very accurate materials list, which turned out to be extremely accurate for the most part. When the job was done, the installers only had two tiles and 2 bags of grout left over. They were short a few bags of thin set mortar, but since I live very close to a Lowe's, I picked up some for them to avoid delays.

    Lowe's was the only weak point in the process; they were very slow in getting our materials ordered. The particular tile we ordered required a special order from the manufacturer, and there was only one employee at the Port Orange, FL store who knew how to place the order, and he was out for several days. There were various other delays and then Hurricane Irma came through, so ultimately it took a month from the time we ordered until the order was completed. But at least in the Orlando/Daytona Beach area, I would certainly hire Lowe's/Keller Interiors again at least for flooring.

They told me the engine will blow on That one too So now that the leaves are falling I don't have a leaf blower yet so if you are Hispanic I'd go to another Lowe’s or avoid it together. Go to Menards.

    Logged into myLowes account, placed an order. Some reason their system had changed my set store to one nowhere near me. I called to cancel, couldn't do it. They said I could go into my local store and they could cancel it and provide me the refund even though it was a different store the purchase was not made for. Sounded odd, so I reconfirmed with the person and they reconfirmed it could and would be done. I went, attempted to and was told it was impossible, but that the money would be held at the store and I could go by anytime to claim the money, as it would be kept indefinitely in a safe until I went to collect it. I don't believe Lowe’s is going to keep my or anyone's unclaimed cash return just sitting around earmarked for that specific someone to eventually come by and claim it. Complete nonsense.

    Lowe’s is a decade behind when it comes to an online-to-store purchase experience. Where I cannot cancel an order and have the money either refunded to my card or given to me in another way. Home Depot does not have this issue when a cash gift card is used. Lowes is behind in all sense of the word and Home Depot will outpace them. Also, they stationed a kid at the return station, who when I approached telling him I needed to work out a cancelled order, he said, "I don't know how to do those. Go over to the checkout line", promptly yelling "I can help people with their purchases" to the line of people as I walked away. If he can't do returns, or work with canceled orders, then move him to an actual cashier line, not the returns. Their employees just seem absolutely clueless and the technology is several years behind their biggest competitor, which is huge in the retail space.

    They ordered the wrong doors. I ordered custom doors with raised panels on them from Lowe's in Franklin TN. I waited the 2 weeks they said it would take and no one contacted me so I called them. They said it would take another week before I got them. Finally after the 3 week wait I went to the store to check on them and they said they had them. Still no one had contacted me. When I got the doors they were just slabs... no raised panels!! I told them they were the wrong doors and they did offer me a refund but that wasn't the problem. I needed the doors to be raised panels to match the rest of the doors in my house that I was trying to sell. I had no choice but to take these doors as I needed to get this house on the market. They had no reasons as to why the wrong doors were sent.

    I did a contract with Lowe's for replacement my windows and slide doors. That started at Apr. 2016, but until today, Oct. 9, 2017, they haven't done their job yet. One of windows was cracked by itself. Only after one month installation, I contacted Lowe's hundreds times, still couldn't see people from Lowe's to help. By the way, the windows are all under the guarantee, they promise that one-year windows and labor GUARANTEE, 10 YEARS window guarantee. But the problem is you couldn't do anything when there is a problem happening. Other services are all worst in the world. They missed window screens, they missed window locks, they brought a wrong window patterns etc. So, so, sooo regret and angry. Do I need a lawyer??

    I’m so confused on where to start on how disappointed I’m with Lowe’s department store and their delivery company XPO. I ordered a over the range stove and microwave, as well as a dishwasher. Without getting into the specifics on the cost–let’s just say, it was over the $1,600+ installations and then some. I was given a two hour window on 10/8/17 to be delivered between the hours of 11am-1pm. Well, as you know just by being on this site–that the delivery never happened–a no call, no show... I called Lowe’s about my dismay about the nondelivery and was given the cold phone shoulder–a straight–give them some more time! Well that’s just what I did. But after another 2 hours still nothing!

    I called Lowe’s again and was given the delivery service number. After about an hour on hold the dispatcher said "I have no idea where the delivery people are and why it’s taking them so long to get to you!" After that response I physically went to Lowe’s to cancel the entire order. I was told by the customer service that XPO did this kind of thing all the time!... Go figure!!! Note - the Lowe’s store is in Mt. Pocono, Pa.

    On April 22, 2017 I paid in full for a complete bathroom remodel. Work started in early May and progressed quickly. I will told by the subcontractor that the work would be finished in two week. Then came the setbacks. The subcontractor abandoned the job for about a month leaving trash in front of my house. When I queried Lowe's they said that I had paid to have a light fixture installed but did not actually pay for the light. When I found the receipt I had not only paid for one light but paid for two. So during the abandonment I went without a bathroom light for 1 month. Then came the humidity fan. Another month went by and despite assurances that the trash would be picked up and the bathroom cleaned it never happened.

    I pointed to Lowe's as per contract the humidity fan was not installed. Once again Lowe's tried to use the same tactic and reported that I had paid for the fan but not the installation. They wanted an addition $1,611. The installation was clearly in the contract but the installation team member just took a picture of some spreadsheet and then asked me to provide a line item of where the fan installation was listed in the contract.

    Another month goes by and I now have a hanging light/fan switch that is hot and according to my electrician not grounded. I contacted my homeowners insurance policy and they recommended that no other workers be in the house until corrected. At the same time they did pick up the trash in front of my house but neglected to paint the baseboards or clean the bathroom which had 1/4 inch of tile dust on it. We are now well into October and I am getting ready to close Escrow so I order a final inspection on the bathroom and it does not pass. Escrow is set to close the 14th and the best Lowe's can do is get someone to address the issues after the 15th.

    I bought a riding mower at Lowe's with extended warranty. Within a year, it would not idle and the mower would not engage. Called Lowe's Service and that's when my nightmare began. Here it is 6 months later and several representatives and no satisfaction. The people who THEY had work on my mower said it was my fault. It appears the people Lowe's contracts are contracted to Lowe's advantage. By the reviews I've been reading, Lowe's extended warranty is a BIG scam. They get you to buy it but you can't use it. What a way to make millions for nothing. I also talked to Eric, absolutely overpaid and useless.

    Lowe's believes whatever these contractors tell them. I asked to bring the mower back to the store I purchased it from to show a store manager these contracted people are wrong. They refused which tells me 2 things, they know they are ripping us off, and the store managers don't know much about what they sell. The worst customer service ever. Eric says he's proud of Lowe's Customer Service. I would be too if I got paid for nothing. He should be reading these reviews but it looks like Eric and Lowe's stay away from these reviews. So fed up, I mailed my Lowe's credit card that I've had for 32 years. They can keep it.

    We purchased an LG Dishwasher from your Saugus, MA store on 8/13. The total bill for this appliance and installation, parts, permits, etc., exceeded $1,000.00. We expected delivery and installation on or about 8/24. This date came and went with the dishwasher uninstalled and no notification of a new installation date. A call to the installation company indicated they had not received required information from the Saugus store. I was promised a call-back that never came. A second call to the installation company a few days following also indicated they hadnt received the information necessary to get the installation scheduled. I was given the number to the store and was assured by the Appliance Department salesperson that she would call the installation company to ensure they had the information necessary to get this done. I was promised a call-back from the store salesperson that never came.

    A third call to the installation company. This time I was fortunate to reach a customer service person who knew what she was doing and found the information provided by the store. She promised to try to expedite the washers installation and promised a call-back which I received. Seems the installers schedule was full and the customer service person wasnt sure when they'd be able to install the washer. A technician finally called earlier last week and scheduled the installation for get this 10/2 (it actually happened on 10/3).

    So, time of purchase to scheduled time of installation sees 52 days lapse, all while we're anxiously waiting for the new dishwasher to arrive. My wife and I are totally dissatisfied with this entire purchase experience. The repeated promises of call-backs that were never returned indicates to me that common courtesy among everyone involved to be sorely lacking. Suffice it to say, when considering future major appliance purchases, we'll be taking our business elsewhere.

    I purchased a Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 24-in Two-stage Push-button Electric Start Gas Snow Blower in December, 2015. It has an electric start which was one of the main reasons I purchased it. At first, it wouldn't start and when I finally got it started, it wouldn't stay on. It didn't snow much that year so I didn't use it but I did contact Lowe's about it.

    Lowe's sent two guys to the house and I was late meeting them. They were on their way down the driveway leaving when I got there. They said they couldn't start it either until they realized they weren't supposed to pull the start cord as hard as they were doing it. I said it had an electric start and I had a electric cord out there that was plugged in and ready for use but they had ignored it. I told them I don't care about the pull start... I had to start it with the electric start. They refused to walk a couple of feet back to the snowblower to try it. They just said that the pull start works if I don't yank as hard!

    I have a shoulder injury and bought it because it had an electric start and I explained this. They just ignored me and got back into their truck and left. I reported this back to Lowe's and they said their guys said they got it started so they did their job. There was nothing else I could do. It wouldn't start last winter no matter what method was used. Again, it didn't snow much so it wasn't used. So, I spent $650 on nothing. I wonder if my being a woman meant they could take advantage of me. The two guys were pretty condescending.

    I spent over $7000 on a Lowe's Home Improvement project (Bathroom Closet). The contractor that Lowe's assigned is not making corrections to his work that correct the problems. Months have gone by now, 6 months, with continued communication from me. I've called and emailed several times and the project manager literally makes promises to me in writing and verbally then changes the promise. It seems I am being blamed for the contractor's inability to successfully take care of the errors he made. And for 1 year he is mandated to correct any mistakes fully. I have tried to be an understanding and reasonably patient customer however today I realized what I am doing is indulging a system in continuing to take advantage of my understanding nature. I've been reduced to a person who is pleading my case to anyone at Lowe's who will listen.

    Today I drove to the store with pictures of the problems. Two store managers sat with me and promised to work on the matters. I hope that the store managers can make the corrections happen, but I'm losing faith. If the problems are not corrected, my next step is small claims court.

    My wife and I had a fence installed through Lowe's and have been regretting it! The install time was later than every other company and they were substantially more expensive (20-50%) than other companies. But, we have shopped at Lowe's for years and have always been happy with their service, plus we wanted a company that would stand behind their product. BOY, WERE WE WRONG!!! The fence install went fine and we were happy until we had a problem with one of the gates. It began dragging when utilized so we called Lowe's to get it fixed as the fence was supposed to have a 1 year workmanship warranty.

    First, it took three phone calls and nearly a month before someone came out and looked at the problem (in the meantime, the gate was still dragging against the ground). The young gentleman who came out took a picture and said someone from the store would be in touch. We did not receive a call for 6 days, so I called the store to see when they would be out to fix the problem. They stated that it was not covered by warranty and it would cost over $100 to get it repaired! This is a fence that is less than 6 months old! What is more frustrating is the poor service that was received - calls that do not get returned, weeks to get someone to inspect the problem. If you research the internet, you will find that this is a more common theme than you would want to believe. We will never spend another dime with Lowe's.

    Buyer beware! Purchased a refrigerator September 16, 2017. I was told there would be a ten day delivery period. On the 9th day I was informed the delivery date had been changed to October 16, 2017. The reason: the refrigerator was not in stock! It seems to me a company as big as Lowe's would have been able to check inventory at whatever company delivers appliances to determine whether my refrigerator was in stock. A simple computer check should have been sufficient. Apparently Lowe's has no program capable of checking inventory. Why did it take nine days to find out its unavailability? Speaking to the store manager of the Naperville, Il. store - Mr. Keith **- resulted in me being told checks of inventory are not possible and that my refrigerator may be stuck in customs in New York.

    Seems a bit far fetched. So, instead of having my refrigerator delivered within their stated ten days, I must wait for a delivery date three times their stated date. All I received from the manager was: "Sorry, we cannot control delivery dates." I would think a company as large as Lowe's would have better control over their inventory and delivery systems. As it stands, I will await delivery of my refrigerator and pray it will be delivered within this new time frame. I have my doubts. With the ridiculous way of handling of my order, I will no longer deal with Lowe's for any of my purchases. Perhaps anyone possibly placing an order with Lowe's will ask for an in-stock confirmation and a definite delivery date. I will wager any amount of money Lowe's will be incapable of providing either.

As it turned out, the engineering drawings were entirely incorrect - the construction guys realized this as they were digging the foundations and based on our conversations.

    Cento Solutions blamed everybody - Lowe's, me for not cutting down a sapling, etc. They totally covered up and lied to me about the incorrect drawings. On top of this there was a project manager assigned to this project from Lowe's who totally refused to return my calls. The result was that a project that should have taken approximately a week took over three months. I had absolutely NO use of my deck - it no longer existed. My deck furniture and grill were relegated to the woods (picture Hurricane Harvey). As of September 26, 2017 I do not have the final inspection approval for the deck. The quality of the sub-contractor is exquisite. The cooperation from Lowe's and their contract with Cento Solutions was and is totally acceptable. I will NEVER use Lowe's for a project again.

    January 2017 I Installed StainMaster Pet-Protect carpet and pet protect padding. I purchased the products from Lowe’s in Howell MI. We cleaned the carpet using a Bissell carpet cleaner and cleaning products in mid-July 2017. Stains started to re-appear after 3-4 weeks. I contacted the store in Howell MI to get them to address the issue.

    September 26, 2017 after many phone calls I made to Lowes and two personal meetings I had with two store managers, I finally spoke to StainMaster directly. The bottom line is they require professional cleaning service before they will start a claim. End result we will need to have our Stain resistant pet protect carpet professionally cleaned every six months. Two people and two dogs living in a 2900 square foot house and StainMaster carpet cannot handle it. The carpet I replaced was 22 years old and I had my children and many dogs/cats in the house. I never needed to pay for professional carpet cleaning. I spent $10,000.00 on junk. I will never purchase StainMaster products. Lowe’s did a terrible job of post-sales customer support. I’ll continue to buy small items from Lowe’s but I will not consider them for any major purchases. Lowe’s follow up is the worst.

    We bought all the materials to make a new wood fence for my house last week, I was told I will have them delivery at my house yesterday, received a call and a text saying that between 8 and 12 pm I will have them delivery. After waiting until 1 pm I started by calling the delivery company. It took me an hour to get in hold with somebody there, only to be told to call the store because they did not have that order. Called Lowe's at Kendall location where I bought the fence, again waiting about 30 minutes to be told they could not delivered because they had a small truck, I was promised that today I will have my merchandise, again still waiting and when I call Lowe's store I was told I will be call back about my order, it is being 2 hours and nobody has call me.

    I bought $1338.00 worth of appliances from Lowe's over the 4th of July weekend (the 3rd of July to be exact). The reason I chose Lowe's over the other Big stores like Menards and Home Depot was because Lowe's was offering an 11% rebate and I was planning on using that rebate to help finish my kitchen project. Well, here it is the 22nd of September and I still haven't received the rebate. I contacted the BBB, they contacted Lowe's and one of their executives named Eric contacted me a month ago and promised I would have my rebate no later than Sept. 22.

    Well, here it is Sept. 22 and guess what? No rebate. Maybe I should have asked him what year! I called the BBB back today and her answer was she'd done all she could, contact Lowe's again. I'm done contacting them. Before I went to the BBB I had talked to several extremely rude people at Lowe's who actually had me in tears, I was put on hold for 33 minutes while they "looked into it" and then I was disconnected. I'm an old lady living on social security, I had to save a long time for this project. Since then I have gone to Home Depot and Menards and purchased items that also had a rebate and I've already received those rebates! I think Lowe's need to visit one of those stores and learn how to do things and how to treat their customers.

    I have been frustrated with Lowe's the minute I had my roof replaced and a brand new AC. Stupid me, thought if I went with a big box business I would have been more satisfied, wrong!! We started having leaks the first rain following the installation. After sending them 50+ emails for 3+ years, they finally sent someone to take a look at our roof. Come to find out the roof installer never replaced the flat roof, even though it was part of the contract. The leak ended up causing internal damage to our ceiling, walls, and flooring for 4 years in a row.

    I finally contacted corporate and they had an independent adjuster come look at the inside of the house and offer a settlement. However, when I asked Lowe's claims, "What about the flat roof which hasn't been fixed," they were totally surprised. It's year 4 and we are still waiting for a quote from the claims department to have our flat roof fixed. I was recently contacted by their insurance people called Custard but I don't understand why they are getting involved. I was told they are only contacted when Lowe's feels that they are NOT at fault and they are trying to find ways to cut corners. I honestly do not know what to do. I feel like they not only didn't do what I paid for ($26,000 with AC until on roof) but now they are trying to screw me over. Does anyone have any advice for me? Please!

I complained, stated I was willing to replace whole window. The reason I WAS REPLACING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS IT HAD ROTTEN WOOD! REALLY? I was told it was "beyond their scope of practice" because it was worse than they thought. They were willing to reimburse me for the "rotten wood repair" that was NOT done. Oh, did I say that was the REASON I called in the first place? I got screwed over by Tony the window person and it looks like he's more important to them than their customers.

    Www.themine.com - A Lowe's Company. A Bathroom Shower Bench gone wrong... Sent The Wrong Color Told Me It Was Ok By Them... THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT THEMSELVES. VERY RIGID WITH OVERPAID USA EXECUTIVES ANSWERING EMAIL. The photo on their site was completely different. The Shower bench was dark brown. Have you ever seen a dark brown shower bench ever offered.

    First they said the color was close enough. Then they said it was my problem to take it up with the manufacturer. Then they said if I arranged to get it myself shipped to the manufacturer - they would refund me. Then I said I would I wanted it picked up or I would contact my credit card bank. Then they said four days ago they would start process a refund and deal with the manufacturer.

    You see they use THE SAME EXACT method used by small players in the Amazon marketplace. They list the manufacturer's specs, pay wholesale NET 30 and keep the balance. Yet they never tell you that you have to have the relationship with their partner, THE MANUFACTURER. IN MY CASE THE PHOTO DID NOT MATCH THE CONTENTS:

    They started with: Colors Vary. Try to keep it. Take a nomination discount. You are on your own. Pushed, we will take care of it. They do not. I criticize them. They get insulted. They stop replying. They never did a thing nor lifted the phone to help. They took no ownership. Not stand up people to do as they say. LIKE CHILDREN WHO HAVE NO REALITY OF THE ADULT WORLD W ZERO EMPATHY.

    15 Days and I have no clue what is next?! I feel sorry for Lowe Stockholders. The box at Amazon is shipped in another box, not here. So after pressing them, knowing my rights they never in at least three business days worked out a resolution with the manufacturer. I told them I could used it in the future as now shower furniture at 33% off and I would still have to buy another brand. They said no, they offered it to me at cost so they could walk away without helping me. An easy way out each time for them. THEY COME FIRST EVERY TIME. SO I SAID NO TO KEEP THE WRONG COLOR AT 15% OFF FIVE DAYS AGO.

    So all along they think they are doing me a favor... Three days after they were processing a refund and having it picked up, they asked me to keep it at 15% off... So I tell them I would have pursued a solution for the customer first, even lose money (this is now 15 days after the order... on Amazon Prime, two days after the order I get the wrong color, I email it in, UPS comes the next day and as soon as it gets scanned I get a refund).

    15 days and counting vs 2 Days. So I realize that after three days (two business days) nothing progressed for they wanted me to accept the wrong color and asked me to. I said I am a merchant and large concerns did drop shipping (no inventory) 16 years ago, a time warp for me... And they never replied... I hurt their feelings... It is not Prime. Took seven days to get to me plus eight since I told them it was the wrong color... What do you think? I hurt their feelings...

    Lowe's subcontractor doing poor work. I purchased a chain link fence from Lowe's and they sent a subcontractor to install it. When the work was completed I was advised that there is a 1 year warranty on the product and workmanship. After they left I noticed several things that needed to be corrected. The subcontractor came back on the 4th of July stating that he had plans that day and fixed what I told him that I saw needed to be fixed. When several of my family members came to look at the fence they noticed that the terminal post that held the 1 gate did not line up with the other terminal posts.

    So I contacted the person who told me that he would be overseeing my account. He never got to me and I left several voice mails for him. Feeling frustrated, I sent a letter to Lowe's corporate office and a few days later received a call from an associate and she advised me that she would check into my issue and call me back. She called me back and told me that the contractor installed that post according where the previous post was.

    I advised her that my family member helped install the original post and it lined up with the other posts, but the one that the contractor installed did not. I also advised her that the installer was very rude and made several nasty comments. She advised me that if I want it corrected that I would need to pay additional cost to have it fixed. I am still trying to find out if there is any course of action I can take to get this fixed by no additional expense to me.

    We hired Lowe's to do two large roofs. We started having problems right away on the second one. It's been 3 years for one roof and 4 years since the other one. Shingles are falling off everywhere. They have given us the runaround for several months now and keep acting like they want to help but just give me another number to call that can't help. I had my adjustor come out today and he told us that it's not weather related or the manufacturer's issue, it's poor installation! He said that they were not installed according to manufacturer's guidelines. But what does Lowe's care? They only guarantee labor for 1 year!

    Well if their lifetime warranty roof can last just one year I guess they are off the hook! Apparently all consumers are suckers that do business with Lowe's. Not one person working on our roof spoke one word of English! So no wonder they didn't follow directions. So $25000 is how much we spent on these two projects. I would have been better off hiring some regular Joe out of the classifieds for half the price. We thought that going with a big company like Lowe's that they would always back up their work and make sure it was done properly in the first place!

    April 2017 Lowe's starts a bathroom in my basement. Many problems including the $25,000 price (10-15,000 over budget). I was given credit limit then my bath became that price, rather than adhering to my budget. What stopped work was when the Lowe's contractor Cento Solutions sent their plumber. The plumber hooked the tub to drain into a vent. Lowe's wanted me to pay Cento for camera scoping and digging up concrete for find a block in my pipes that did not exist. After a month the Plumbing inspector insisted Lowe's pull up the tub. It revealed the bad plumbing.

    All summer I wrote to Lowe's to acknowledge and address the situation. Instead they are imposing a "final resolution" to pay half of the $25,000, I will still have a balance of $12,500+interest. 20 weeks have gone by. No product has been installed, except for the tub that had to be ripped up. It is sitting in the middle of the room with 100 lbs of concrete. Lowe's does not intend to refund or remove the tub. I am reaching out where ever I can. As many consumers think that Lowe's is honest, they have proven themselves to be corrupt. STAY AWAY FROM LOWE'S. USE YOUR RECOMMENDED LOCAL CONTRACTORS!

    I visited Lowe's to purchase mulch as I do frequently throughout the summer. On this particular day, the usual lane where we line up to pick up mulch was closed, s I asked the cashier where I should go. She made an announcement over the loudspeaker for an associate to come, but the guy in that department (who we could see) walked away when he heard the call. She called again, and he kept walking away, so I followed and asked after him. His name was Balrama, and he stopped when he noticed I was talking to him and said I should just go where no one was, and wait for someone to show up. When I explained that it was closed, he was disinterested and just said that's what I should do. I said, "I'm a paying customer, and that's your advice?" So I asked his name, and told him I would ask a manager if that was the right response.

    When I got to the customer service desk, I discovered he had followed me. He went to the other side of the desk, and after I explained the situation to the rep and asked her to call a manager, I pointed to the gentleman and said, "That's the guy right there I wish to make a complaint about." He came lunging at me across the aisle shouting, "You don't point your finger at me!!!" multiple times and got right up in my face. Finally a manager name Jereme came, and after explaining the situation again, I told him all I wanted was an apology from him- for a manager to tell him he can't talk to customers that way. He refused, so I asked for his manager. He tried to get out of telling me his name, but finally said it was Brad.

    So I called Brad, and he just repeated what Jereme had said. I promptly got my ticket refunded, and bought my mulch from Home Depot. So I called corporate, and Linda repeated the same thing.

    LG Refrigerator LFX530766S - Stopped cooling in both refrigerator and freezer compartments. We have had a repairman out 3 times now with no success; and we are without a refrigerator going on a month now. First it was the main board; and were told that it is not the compressor, as you can still hear it running. They ordered the board, delivered it a week later which turned out to be the wrong one. A second correct one was installed another week later. We were told that it would take several hours, possibly 24 to get to cooling temp. It never cooled. Tech came back out after 3 days. Told us we have a "sealed system"; that it is probably the compressor, and that he would have to report status to LG; who will determine whether or not to replace it. This was last Friday. It is Monday at noon, and I have been on hold for over 45 minutes with Lowe's waiting to speak to a supervisor to obtain status.

    In the meantime, we have discovered that the repetitive negative reviews on this and other LG refrigerators are off the hook; including people who have these same parts replaced only to have them fail AGAIN. I have told Lowe's that we have no interest in continuing with replacement parts or with the same refrigerator, considering our personal experience and the research we have discovered on this. With class actions being threatened, why would we continue with this? For a 15 month old refrigerator just under $3,000 to go down (extended warranty or not), is OUTRAGEOUS. But, then to be jerked around for a month on top of it (with an extended warranty) is criminal. We want our money back, and we want to buy an entirely different brand.

    Just got supervisor on the line after 35 minutes. He acknowledged that this refrigerator "has bad reviews", but proceeds to tell me that "the best course of action is to replace the parts". I asked him on what planet any REASONABLE person would accept replacements on this clearly inferior product. He just said that this is the "best" they can do. Now, I am on hold again because he is "getting a hold of an authorized LG technician" to come out in 3 days. Are you kidding me? I have now been on the phone for over an hour. If this is going class action, we are on board.

When we contact Lowe's' they were unable to make an appointment for repairs because their computer was not communicating with LG's, which is the brand of our refrigerator. It was a weekend and they were not able to do anything until Monday.

    When an appointment was scheduled for LG's technician to repair the refrigerator, the technician never showed. When we contact LG they were not aware that their technician was out sick. Another appointment was scheduled. The technician was in our home about 10 minutes when we were told he had to go down to his car. Approximately 40 minutes later he comes back and tells us that the board of the refrigerator is defective and he did not have a replacement and had to order another one. Another appointment was made when the board arrived at our home. The technician never showed. This was close to 3 weeks without a refrigerator.

    At this time, we again contacted Lowe's coverage protection customer service and made a formal complaint. When Lowe's tried to reach LG, they could not get a hold of them. It was a Saturday and we were already aware that LG offices did not open on the weekend, but Lowe's was unaware of LG's office hours. At this time, Lowe's suggested a borrowed refrigerator from another Lowe's store. Believe our frustration when all this time, we were never made aware that this was an option.

    The customer service person called 2 Lowe's stores and they did not find one that was available. When you make a suggestion like this, someone should have checked before, if one was available. After all this Lowe's was unable to have LG repair our refrigerator and finally suggested giving us our money back. We've been a month without a refrigerator and when we finally get our money back, we will go to purchase a new refrigerator to another store that values their customers.

I waited a few weeks and heard nothing. I called and was given the contractor's phone number. These people don't return calls. They could at least use the email. My point is, it should be Lowe's managing the communications and not the contractor. Finally I received the install date just a day or so before the install date. Very short notice.

    The installers were very nice. The work was sub-par. I have about 1/3 of the pickets that are very crooked. They left all the lumber tags on the pickets that started falling off and blowing around my yard. They used a chain saw to cut the top of the 4x4's. Not one cut was level or at the same height. The rails for the pickets are a train wreck. It looks like something a homeowner would do. Every time I look at the fence I'm disgusted. After countless calls leaving messages and no calls returned they sent some people out to remove the lumber tags and re-cut the post tops. To fix the pickets would require removing half of them so I let it go thinking I don't even want them here anymore. Never again!

    I had a dishwasher all picked out online. I drove to Lowe's and an associate put in a work order for measuring the space to be sure it would fit. He came out a few days later and verified it would be fine and Lowe's would then set up installation. Didn't hear anything for a week, so I called, and no one could find a thing in the system. ($35 cost - I had a copy of the order and the receipt - they took my money with no problem). Finally they found something, and told me I will now need to come back in (an 18 mile round trip again) to order the dishwasher. Why did they not do that the first time? Who knows. So today I drove back. It took at least 15 minutes of my standing around while they tried to find someone who knew how to order a dishwasher. Then another 20 minutes to fill out paperwork. The clerk asks me who did the measurements to which I replied, I don't recall his name, and what does that matter?

    As she is getting reams of paperwork together, she is multitasking (phone call, helping out another clerk, and trying to process my order). Obviously, they are grossly understaffed. She was doing the best she could. Finally, after 35 minutes in the store, it seemed the purchase was finalized. Only they could not provide an installation date. They will call and let me know. I highly doubt that would happen.

    I left the store, called Best Buy and in 10 minutes flat, I ordered the same machine, with an installation date, and $60 cheaper than Lowe's. I did not have to drive anywhere twice. I did not have to wait a 1/2 hour for them to find somebody who knows how to do their job. I was appreciated and valued as a customer, and the person on the phone seemed to know what she was doing! I immediately returned to Lowe's, waited for 10 minutes at "customer service", and cancelled my order, saying I would never again darken their doors, and that I would be in touch with the manager who, as any idiot can plainly see, has no clue how to manage.
