I went into Lowe's on September 9th to get some paint. There was four employees standing there. Three of them are which looks like they're not even 20 years old. The other one was an older gentleman around 80. I said, "Excuse me could I get some paint?" They all stood there and looked at me and didn't answer me and then finally the 80 year old man said, "Can I help you," reluctantly looking. It's like I was bothering them and they didn't want to be bothered taking care of me. The 80 year old man was not very helpful give me short answers. I was forced to go to Home Depot every time I go to the Lowe's which is on Southwestern Boulevard in Hamburg. They have kids working there that know nothing about sales or Home Improvement and they are very unhelpful. They make me feel like I'm bothering them. Very bad customer service.

Very simple review. Businesses exist to delight customers, or even satisfy the minimal requirements of a customer expectation... or even at the very least successfully deliver to the contract entered into. None of these were checked off with my recent purchase of a washing machine at Lowe's in Union, NJ. Just a textbook example of horrible customer experience.
I purchased an LG washing machine on Labor day, 2017. I should have been suspect when it took approximately 20 minutes for the only sales rep in the department to assist in the sale. After confirming the model for the purchase, the rep disappeared for another 20 minutes to "confirm stock" of the unit. Not online, nor in any system, but an actual physical audit to determine whether the unit existed. After confirming stock, I was assured the unit would be delivered to my home in two days, in the morning, I would receive a call I was told, for the two hour window for the delivery. Fyi, the checkout process was flawless.
The night prior to the delivery, I did indeed receive a call (automated call), stating that I would be receiving the delivery not in the morning, but in the afternoon, between 1-3 pm. At 2 pm, I received another call that the delivery would now occur between 4-6 pm. At 7 pm, I kind of figured it wasn't happening. The following day, I called the Lowe's Union location, and a customer service rep connected me with "delivery". That's actually not true. The first time I called, whoever answered the phone connected me to dead air and after 10 minutes, I hung up. I called back immediately and was connected to delivery. I proceeded to wait on hold for (and I am not lying) 30 minutes. At 30 minutes on hold, I picked up my cell and dialed into the store again, figuring the more lines in the water, the higher probability I would have of a positive outcome.
I did reach an excellent rep named Paige, who empathized with the situation. While talking to Paige, the original rep came on the other line (after 32 minutes), with the delivery manager (Jonathan) on the line as well. I asked the rep why I was on hold for 30 minutes and asked whether she thought that was acceptable. After listening to rep #1 rant about how it wasn't her fault and how she's not responsible... blah blah blah, I picked up my cell and asked Paige whether she was getting all of this. She indicated that was hearing the entire conversation, and was apologetic. I was then told by Jonathan that the delivery was pushed and pushed again, and then canceled, though the system didn't indicate who canceled or why. Jonathan then told me that he could get the unit out to me the following day... as long as the unit was on the truck.
You see, he couldn't find my washing machine, and he needed to wait until the truck returned to the store before he could confirm the unit existed, and then he could issue another delivery date. I asked when the truck usually returns. He indicated around noon. I asked when he would contact me, and when, and on what phone number. He confirmed with me that he would call me at noon, regardless of whether it was good news or bad. It is 2:19. I have not received any correspondence from either the store nor customer service. Not unexpected based on the previous interactions. So, I called the store one more time, and requested to speak with the manager. A transfer to hold later... A quick aside here. When they put you on hold, they don't say they're going to put you on a brief hold. They don't tell you who they're transferring you to. They don't say anything. You just hear different music and you figure you must be on hold.
The list of customer service "don'ts" in this Lowe's experience would make for an excellent case study on how not to conduct business in a flailing retail environment. Back to the call with the manager. After a quick hold, there was ringing on the other end. I think I'm about to speak to the manager. I pick up the phone which is on speaker on the table. Nope. The call auto-connects back to hold for another five minutes, then it rings again. Again, I pick up the phone. It rings about eight times, and then disconnects, leaving me with that annoying fast busy signal you get, signifying the ultimate insult to the customer. I still don't have my washing machine. No one has contacted me with an updated delivery schedule. My next move is to physically go to the store and speak with the manager.
Here's the bottom line. I've always considered Lowe's a stand-up shop. I cannot say that anymore. From the lack of floor help to the abysmal customer service, at both the store and org level, to the overall attitude, to the lack of accountability and empathy, to the lack of follow through, and the utter lack of any sense of what a positive customer experience should be is just astounding. And then you can't even get a manager on the phone to address the issue. I'd like to believe this is a one off, but all signs indicate this is systemic and pervasive throughout the 23546796 Lowe's org. I do hope that someone from Lowe's reads this. I hope they care enough to turn it around. My guess is they don't. I'm not telling you what to do with your purchase. I've tried to keep this review factual and resist the urge to editorialize. I won't be buying anything at Lowe's anytime soon. Peace and love.

I purchased a refrigerator & a microwave within a month of each other. The fridge was damaged by the delivery staff. It took several calls & a month to get that remedied with managers never returning my 4 calls. A week after that, I gave them a second chance & ordered a microwave online. The website & email I received indicated it would be ready for pick up the same day. When I arrived 7 hours after purchasing it online, they can't locate it... it's not ready... After 30 minutes, I'm told it's a "wex item & won't even be at the store for 7 days." I cancelled the order. They made no attempt to make things right. I'll NEVER go there again.

We ordered a Kraftmaid custom cabinet and gave our timeline for when we needed it delivered. We were assured it was a 23-day lead time as was printed on our receipt but also told it never takes that long. As we were approaching the 3-week mark, I called Lowe's to check on our order. I never heard back from our sales rep, so called back again and spoke with someone else who said it would not be delivered for several more weeks. At that point I got the number for Kraftmaid and called them to see what I could do. That's when I found out that Kraftmaid employees don't work Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays or holidays which meant we were not going to get our cabinet for weeks. Lowe's did not explain that these days were not included in the lead time or accept any blame for the misinformation.
Kraftmaid further explained that had they known we had ordered from them in the past 6 months they would have expedited our order but at this point it was way too late for that. I finally found a person at Kraftmaid who was willing to go out on a limb and help us unlike anyone at Lowe's who took our money and never made any efforts to help us or keep their word about the delivery lag time. Lowe's has never reached out or made any attempts to follow up on any of this. We will never order or believe anything we hear from their employees again. Not a good way to do business. We are still waiting for our order.

Bought John Deere riding mower early August [2017] from Lynnwood branch, delivery was set, when time came, no delivery, called store and had schedule another date. Got delivered this morning [9/4/17 Labor Day]. We bought the additional bag and cart attachments so it took us few hours to assemble both. Time to fire it up, we couldn't find a user’s manual, the one that came with it is in Spanish. Went online to John Deere website but we have to pay extra $20 for hard copy or $30 for download. Went back to the store, spoke to customer service [Dennis] who was quite helpful, gave us the website where we can download and print a copy of the manual. Got home, ready to move the riding mower but it WON’T START, to find out BATTERY IS MISSING. Called the store NUMEROUS TIMES, was on hold, then disconnected - same pattern every time we called. Will NEVER, EVER do business with Lowe’s.

I have purchased two Troy Bilt power washer units from Lowe’s. Both failed mechanically, even though we followed all maintenance and operating instructions to the letter. The first unit I purchased only lasted for two summers. The second unit lasted one summer only (in fact, I only used the unit twice!). The reliability of this product is terrible. When I contacted Lowe’s about the problem they were of no help. Simply saying that I should take the unit back to the store and "They might be able to do something". I have been a loyal customer of Lowe’s for quite some time. From now on, I will do business with Home Depot to see if they are any better. I highly recommend anyone looking for a power washer, NOT to purchase a unit from Lowe’s.

We hired Lowe’s Installation Services to renovate our master bathroom. Lowe’s and their contractor did all the measuring. Downsized our shower by 4" without informing us. Ordered a door that does not match rest of the doors in the house. New basketweave tile floor with tiles that do not follow the pattern, started the layout in the wrong place so that the bedroom carpet was rolled over the top of the tile and glued and stapled. Drywall and painting hastily done, texture doesn't match and dried roller gobs on the walls. Caution to all who use Lowe’s Installation Services.

After finding the perfect purchase of a washing machine at a great price as a 65th birthday present, the value of that purchase became irrelevant. The trucker notified us that delivery would be made the next day between 11:30 and 1:30. When no delivery arrived, we contacted Lowe's and the trucker... Only to be told that Lowe's had cancelled the delivery. So the trucker, XPO, declared. It was a complete and total lie. We came to learn over the next couple of days that lying is exactly what XPO does all the time.
Finally, after spending hours of my business day on the phone with the store, with management in North Carolina and with the liars at XPO, and yet another failed delivery date, we learned that the machine was allegedly left on an XPO truck. Why? Because the truckers didn't want to travel to the area where the delivery was scheduled -- 20 minutes from the store!!! Management in NC was shocked... But that is what XPO is doing to a lot of customers.
We finally went to the store and cancelled the order and went to Best Buy and spent $30 more -- but Best Buy doesn't use XPO and that became our sole concern. So -- ask what trucker is delivering your large item and if it's XPO, buyer beware!!! Lowe's now realizes that they are losing huge business because their trucker refuses to deliver, lies to everyone and honestly doesn't care about dissatisfied customers. Put simply, we will never purchase a trucked item from Lowe's or any other retailer if XPO is the trucker. Ask before you buy!

Our refrigerator died on us Friday afternoon. We were able to come into our local Lowe's (after being told by both Sears and Home Depot that delivery would be a week out), got great customer service (The person who helped us didn't even work in the appliance department! They were slammed because of the Labor Day sale.), and were able to pay and walk out with the promise that the fridge we wanted would be delivered next day. We got a call around 10am the very next day saying it's out on the truck and we seemed to be the first stop because they got here not too long after that. The guys were friendly and got our old fridge out and the new one in and hooked up with zero damage to either our new fridge or our house. Time will tell how well our new GE fridge will do. But we are more than happy with the delivery service, especially since every other store said we would have to be living out of coolers for a week!

Buying appliances - Customer service is horrible, sales is horrible, delivery is horrible. They don't answer phones, text, voicemail and never show up on time when delivery.

I purchased a refrigerator and 5 year extended protection plan ("EPP") from Lowe's in November, 2015. On Sunday, 7/23/17, the refrigerator stopped running and most of the food in it spoiled. I contacted Lowe's the same day to arrange for repair service and to determine what my entitlements for food loss reimbursement were under the EPP. A service repair was arranged for the following Thursday, 7/27, and Lowe's sent me forms to complete for the food reimbursement.
I completed and returned the paperwork and a repair person came to my home as arranged on 7/27. The repair person advised me that a part needed to be ordered and would take 7-10 days to come in. The next day, 7/28, Lowe's acknowledged receipt of my food reimbursement paperwork and advised me that I would receive a "check or a rejection letter" within 14 business days. The total of my food loss was $286.08.
On 8/7, Lowe's called to advise me that they were buying me out of my EPP, because apparently the part that was needed would not be available for some time and there was no guarantee that it would fix the problem. I was informed that I would be receiving a check for the full amount of the refrigerator plus taxes paid, a total of $651.07, within "21 business days." I'd been using a small dorm style refrigerator since the big one stopped running, but now that I knew the fridge wasn't going to be fixed, I had to buy a new one and could not wait for Lowe's to reimburse me first. The new refrigerator was purchased at PC Richards and so far is running fine.
However, 25 business days later and I have not received either reimbursement. Calls to Lowe's are a waste of time, the hold time is endless and when I finally reach a supervisor, they are not able to help me. Presently, no one knows what happened to the food reimbursement check and the other check is said to be "on its way." I have been calling, emailing and texting Lowe's every day. Replies to my texts instruct me to keep calling and speak to a supervisor, which I've tried to no avail. I was told that the Claims Dept. is "very busy and running behind." My emails are completely ignored. I have no idea when I will receive the $937.15 that Lowe's owes me and neither does Lowe's. I'm starting to think I won't receive it at all.
There will be no future appliance purchases from Lowe's for me, but I need and want the $937.15 that is owed to me. Lowes has exceeded every time guaranty that they've given me which was 14 business days for the food reimbursement and 21 business days for the EPP buy out. At what point will consumer affairs step in and order Lowe's to follow the law?

I spent $8,000 to have Lowe's install a stockade fence in my backyard. The whole process, from Day 1, has been a nightmare: Problems with my Fence Installation - 1. Every post is not level. 2. Every post is at a different height. 3. Nails and screws sticking out everywhere. 4. Original 4 ft. gate and fencing needed to be torn down and rebuilt. The contractor reused the wood when rebuilding, so now the slats are full of nail holes and crowbar marks. 5. The fencing along the back has a post with 2 pieces of 2x4s nailed into it. Apparently, the contractor measured wrong when digging the holes for the posts.
6. The three horizontal 2x4’s are oddly placed in different locations on each of the panels. 7. The 4 ft. gate handle is on the wrong side. 8. Front 6 ft. gate was supposed to be an 8 ft. gate – the same size as the one in the backyard. This is the only way into the backyard with vehicles. 9. Some slats are 4 or more inches off the ground, and some are digging into the ground. 10. The fence was supposed to be installed racked. In most areas, it does not appear to be.
Problems with Contractor - 1. First day on the job, supervisor and team show up with 13- year-old son who was observed throughout the day using power tools (Sawzall and Auger). 2. Supervisor stopped in a couple of times to check in on the progress. He saw that the fence was being built wrong, but did nothing to correct it.
Problems with Lowe's - 1. I called Brandi, the women who I ordered the fence through, the first night to explain to her what the fence looked like, that a 13 year old boy was using power tools and I sent her pictures. She told me to deal with the contractor because he needs to fix it. Really? Deal with the contractor myself? I didn’t hire him. Lowe's did. And, of course, Brandi never got back to me.
2.The next day I get a call from Harris Construction explaining to me why the 13 year old was there, and that he wasn’t supposed to be using power tools. 3. The supervisor calls me next and asks if I want a different team, to which I replied yes. The next day a new team shows up. They are the ones to replace the 4 ft. gate and fencing in that corner. 4. I was leaving town before they finished the gate, and I wasn’t happy at that point. One of the fence builders told me if it were him, he wouldn’t sign off on the installation. He knew the fence was completely wrong also.
After several social media posts and emails, Lowe's finally sends out a Field Project Specialist to inspect the installation. He sends the report (below) to Naomi ** of the Central Production Office and still have heard nothing back as to how they plan on correcting my fence. The findings of his report are: "My findings on Aug 25, 2017:" Gate latch not aligned, very hard to operate both latching and unlatching. Width of opening at gate is 6 ft.
Inconsistent heights of pickets, inconsistent gap size at bottom of each section ranging from 2-6 inches. Several posts visibly not vertical at 90 deg and height of posts noticeably inconsistent with variation of measurements up to 4 in. Several horizontal 2X4s not level or parallel to each other, nor do most align with position of those on adjacent sections. No two sections line up or have any continuity along the entire run of fence. Multiple removed nail holes and nail points sticking through and easily reachable to snag clothing and puncture skin. Many tool marks from crowbar and hammer. Kevin **. FPS Lowes Dist 1214.

We contracted Lowe's to upgrade our bathroom in April along with purchasing supplies and we paid in full the amount due including supplies and labor. They in turn contracted Apple Renovations to install and complete this work. Workers would show up one day and not return for several days later. Took them 4 months to complete a very small bathroom which included removal of wallpaper, painting, floor tile, vanity and toilet replacement. Workmanship was terrible. Screwed up my bathroom floor and couldn't fix it -- my husband finally fixed it. Painters did sloppy work and did not remove paint mistakes. The grout and caulking were sloppy. Tried to get someone from Lowe's to look at the work done but no one showed up. Project Manager looked at the final work and gave his approval!!! Very disappointing and I will not use Lowe's again (and/ or Apple Renovations) for any kind of home improvement.

Very poor service from Lowe's and the delivery service (company is called XPO and they are dishonest). I purchased washer/dryer online from a local Lowe's store. The delivery was about 8 days out. I got a confirmation of the time for delivery the night before (all good so far). Then the morning of the delivery a store 2 hours away called and said my order got transferred to their store because the local store didn't have the w/d, but the problem was they don't deliver to my area except on Sundays and this was Tuesday. WHY WOULD LOWE'S MAKE THIS DETERMINATION THE MORNING OF DELIVERY? I should have never been promised the items from the local store.
After much complaining they swore they would get the items on a truck the next day in order to fulfill my order. The next day the delivery never came. I called XPO multiple times and each time I got a new excuse: first they were just going to be late, then the driver said the item was damaged so he decided not to deliver it, then they said I refused delivery because it was damaged (HA HA), then they said the driver had a problem with his truck and that is why he couldn't deliver it. This is complete dishonesty from Lowe's delivery service XPO. THE DISHONESTY CAME FROM A DISPATCHER AND TWO SEPARATE SUPERVISORS. They had the audacity to lie and say first that the driver tried to call me numerous times but I was not available (not possible).
The second lie was to tell me I refused the delivery because of the damaged item (that never happened). Needless to say Lowe's and XPO heard from me after that. I was offered a $100 gift card - whoopee. I finally got my w/d I think 3 days later, delivered by 2 very accommodating and capable men "from XPO" although the company name on their shirts was not XPO. Oddly, they delivered it from the back of a regular truck - not a delivery service van/truck! And the items were not in the boxes.
I considered refusing (but we really needed a w/d at this point with a family of 5!), but since the items were wrapped and in perfect condition with manuals, etc, I accepted the delivery. The delivery guys were extremely concerned about how I would review them. They get a good review from me, but XPO and Lowe's do not. I think LOWE'S is a total racket and we will never spend another dime there. Too bad for them since we live in a 100 year old house, my husband is an architect, and we do a lot of home improvement.

My wife and I decided to replace all the carpeting and ceramic tile in our house and replace it with hardwood flooring. We went to Lumber Liquidators and looked at what they had to offer. We were not impressed with the salesman and the species of wood flooring, in fact we were very confused and decided to seek out other advice. We went to Lowe's home center and spoke with a salesman who seem to know quite a bit on the selections of wood flooring in his department. We chose to go with California Bamboo flooring and arranged for a measurement of the area to be installed. I don't remember if the guy who measured the area did any moisture testing, being that I did not know at that time there was an issue with moisture.
Went back to Lowe's and placed the order, the salesman assured us we picked an excellent species of hardwood flooring. We waited for delivery of the flooring and when the flooring arrived it was placed in our garage which then had to be put in our house to acclimate, 65 boxes to be exact. After some time we were contacted by the installer that they were scheduling us for installation.
A Mr. ** arrived, introduced himself and inspected the areas where the floors were to be installed. At that time he said everything looks good and proceeded to open one of the cartons and took what I believe was a moisture reading of the bamboo flooring. He then turned to us and told us there is too much moisture in the bamboo and then informed us of the problems with bamboo and how temperature and humidity is a major problem with bamboo and the house would have to be environmentally controlled to avoid the bamboo from swelling, and splintering due to it not being wood but grass that is compressed with glue and heat. He then informed Lowe's we are returning the bamboo flooring for reasons mentioned.
Disappointed would be an understatement being that most of our furniture was either in the basement or garage and now we have to start all over again. We sat down with the Lowe's representative and told them we will not seal up our home like a tomb for the sake of hardwood flooring. He said “As long as you maintain a comfortable temperature during the hot and humid season we will be fine.” We then looked at other Hardwood flooring and chose Premium 5” oak plank flooring by Mohawk. We were told this was a very nice choice and did all the paperwork that was involved with the purchase.
Again we had to wait for delivery, this time when it came they brought it into the house and distributed it throughout. When the installer came he measured the moisture content of the wood and said all is ok and proceeded to install the flooring. He had many conversations with my wife in regards to care and maintenance of the floors. My wife again questioned the controlled environment and he said on hot and humid days we should put the air conditioning on and we should be fine. We maintain a 72 degree temperature when it's hot and humid.
While the floors were being installed, my wife said that she wants to replace the hardwood flooring in my office with the new flooring so everything will match. I was a little reluctant due to the extra cost, but agreed. We had pine 2 inch hardwood floor installed during construction of our house. Had the floors for 5 years with NO problems at all. Went back to Lowe's and placed the order and waited for their technician to measure the room. The warehouse was out of stock and from our understanding Lowe's had to have the flooring shipped from another facility, which is why it took so long.
It took the installer 3-1/2 days to complete the job and it looked beautiful except for a few boards that needed attention. The job was completed the end of September and being that it was still warm out the house was sealed (windows closed) and the air was on. When it started getting cooler out we opened the house which is what we have done for 6 years now. In the six years that we have had the pine hardwood floors in my office, we have had zero problems with that flooring.
Present day; we had an installer from the company who Lowe's is contracted with come to the house and inspect the floors. Upon his entrance to the house he immediately stated that the floors are cupping. He took moisture reading of the wood flooring and stated that the moisture was with the tolerance range. He went on to explain they don't know why cupping happens when there is no moisture presence in the wood. He said “Maybe the wood is defective due to where it was stored at the warehouse.”
We have a dehumidifier for our basement which was purchased about two years ago to rid the odor of basement due to moisture/concrete. We have the unit set for 45 RH +/- 3% which automatically discharges the condensation into the sump pump well. Now the flooring is cupping like the rest of the house. The Relative Humidity (RH) in my house ranges from 46 to 54. Until this problem with the hardwood floors I would never have had to measure RH in my home. If it was hot or humid where I was uncomfortable the windows were closed and the air was on. I cannot tolerate hot weather nor can I tolerated humidity. Ask anyone who knows me. Nobody, not Lowe's, Mohawk, or Olympic flooring (installers) confirmed the cupping is due to moisture, even when Olympic measured the moisture content of the floors indicating it was within the recommended range.
My point to this letter is to explain that we were duped into purchasing this flooring, not that the hardwood flooring is bad, but we were not informed correctly about RH by Lowe's prior to the purchase. As I mentioned before, we had absolutely no problem with the pine hardwood flooring in my office with regards to RH or as a matter of fact with anything. I don't know why the flooring is cupping, but with Lowe's pointing the finger at the manufacturer of the floors and Mohawk saying cupping is not covered under warranty and the installer doesn't care, we as the consumer are left with a product that you would not want to display to company or look at it everyday and know that we were and are being denied the pleasure of a beautiful home that we paid a lot of money for.
It will cost my wife and I at least $15 thousand dollars to replace this flooring (which we don't have). I am too old and my health won't allow me to do the manual work of removing the floors or installing the shoe molding as I did before. The consumer relies on the professionals to inform or educate us if there may be potential problem with anything that could go awry. Please display to Lowe's and Mohawk that there is more to just selling and taking money from the consumer, that there is a responsibility that comes with that.
I don't believe the installers are responsible, however, Lowe's should be held responsible, since we purchased the floors from Lowe's. I am a 100% disabled Veteran living off disability, and my wife wants to retire in a month. We don't have the money to replace the floors and to be honest, going deeper in debt is not something we want to do, Lowe's and Mohawk should step up to the plate and make this right. The amount of money to replace the flooring is negligible for Lowe's Corporation, however it's most of our life savings.

On 08/19/17 I went to Lowe's in Pensacola to purchase a washer and dryer. The associate in the department never even acknowledged us. We decided on a model and I asked the associate if he could help us. He wrote down model numbers which he entered into the computer. He informed me he had a dryer but not a washer. He suggested I check another local store. He then offered to call that store for us. After 20 minutes he says they don't have either machine and offers to call the other local store. This time he says, "the call keeps dropping". He then suggests I order it and says it will be here by Friday for delivery on Saturday. I felt like that was a reasonable suggestion, so we placed the order and I paid for the appliances.
I did not hear from anyone by the following Friday afternoon so I started calling. Customer service transferred my call three different times to appliances as well as delivery. NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE! Finally I spoke with a manager named Jean. She says, "I'm not sure what's happened. Let me look into it and I will call you back." Well an hour later some guy named Bill calls me and says, "I have a dryer and it will be delivered to you tomorrow. We won't be able to deliver the washer until Monday". I asked, "why would you deliver just a dryer?" He told me he was just the weekend guy and he knew nothing about the situation. He was told to call me and tell me the dryer would be delivered tomorrow and the washer on Monday. I never could get a straight answer as to why they needed to make two separate deliveries. He just kept saying that was the best he could do for me. HE ACTUALLY HUNG UP ON ME!
I immediately called back to speak to a Manager. Of course a different person. When I go over the whole issue again, he tells me he isn't the appliance manager and has no idea what the issue is. He tells me he will cancel the dryer delivery for the next day and look into the situation and call me back. Three hours later surprise surprise no return phone call. I call back and speak to Jean again. She does not even acknowledge that we had spoken earlier and of course acts like she has no idea what I am talking about. I requested that the transaction be cancelled and my money be refunded. She actually asked me if there was anything they could do to make this right. Are you serious???
I am done with Lowe's. I will never give them my business again. I would never treat anyone the way that Lowe's has treated me this week. If I had been important to them they would have given me an honest explanation and made things right. This is not how you run a successful business. Without your Customer, you got nothing.

I am fast becoming a non fan of Lowe's! I have always loved this store/company, but after this month, I can assure you that Home Depot will be my default home improvement store. I originally placed an order online for a washing machine on 8/5/17 and the delivery date online showed as 8/16/17. When I reviewed my receipt I received in my email, it had a delivery date of 9/3/17. I immediately called (on 8/5) the 800 customer service number and was GUARANTEED the delivery date was in fact 8/16/17.
I was then called by the Lowe's store on 8/16/17 and advised the manufacturer shipped the machine on 8/14/17 and the store wouldn't receive it for 15-20 days. So my delivery date is 9/3/17. Then I was angry. I would have canceled the purchase on 8/5 if I would have been given an accurate delivery date as one month is too long to go without a washing machine. I canceled the purchase on 8/16/17 due to the extended wait. I made sure to explain to the store customer service that I had also purchased the EPP and please make sure that is credited to the Lowe's card as well. Guess what, it wasn't. I received my Lowe's statement in the mail and saw that no, the 79.97 charge is still showing. I had to make 2 calls to the store to have the properly credit the account.
During this time I had to spend loads of money doing laundry at a coin operated machine due to the mix up of your delivery dates. I found my washer again on Lowes.com (also on Home Depot for $1 less) and asked my spouse if we should roll the dice with Lowe's again; we decided to give it another shot as this machine showed having 4 in store and available.
I placed the order 8/24/17. The receipt stated I would be contacted within 24 hours for delivery set up. I called customer service on 8/25/27 once the 24 hour period had passed. First rep I spoke with said she would have to transfer me to the delivery department and I was then disconnected. Second rep I was on hold for over 15+ min as she stated she is showing it has already been delivered. Asks me if I'm sure that we do not have the product. I advise I am certain no one has come into my home and dropped off a washing machine without my knowledge.
After another 10min or so the rep states our delivery is scheduled for 5:15 and is there anything else she can help with; I ask her to help clarify: does it show delivered or did they schedule a delivery without contacting me? She advises me that if they cannot reach anyone they go ahead and schedule the delivery anyway. I advise since they never called, it would be hard to contact me. And if they are comfortable with scheduling a delivery without knowing if anyone will be home, then I guess that is how Lowe's likes to do business.
The rep agreed and asked if I needed anything else. At this point I said no and hung up. So we will see if it shows up tonight, or if I will add to this lovely saga of why I will NOT SHOP AT LOWE's any longer. Sad too because in-store help is great and pleasant. But then again, so is Home Depot... maybe their online and delivery is better. Can't be worse.

I purchased 2 of two Reliabilt doors from Lowe's 11 years ago. One door is still good. About 2 years ago the frame on the second door started rotting from the bottom, both sides, now it is completely rotted out and the sill is not attached so there is a one inch gap at the bottom. Both doors were installed, frames primed, and frames and doors painted at the same time. Lowe's store personnel said I had to contact the manufacturer.
After trips to two Lowe's stores when the online form submitted multiple times did not get an answer, Lowe's provide a phone contact for Reliabilt's warranty representative who told me that frame rot is not covered, this is not mentioned anywhere in the warranty! The rot started at the bottom, the metal/plastic sill does not extend under the 2 sides of the frame so apparently water wicks up from the bottom of the frame's side. Unless you think replacing a door at around 8-10 years (at your expense for door and primer and time/labor to install it) is acceptable don't buy this junk.

I contracted Lowe's to install a fence at my 93-year old stepmother's house who is dying from dementia. What a disaster. I was never told by the Lowe's sales representative that I should have a tree removed and landscape tiles replaced prior to installation. I do not live there and had no idea of the situation. The sales representative was more than happy to take my stepmother's $10k though. When I found out that the tree stump and landscape rails would negatively affect the fence installation, I tried to get Lowe's and Bergo Fencing to stop the project to no avail. The fence is now about to fall down. What a waste of time and money. I will never use or shop at Lowe's again. I predict Lowe's will be out of business soon since they have such disregard towards customer satisfaction. Their fence contractor Bergo Fencing knew the installation would not last and went ahead and installed it anyway. Bergo and Lowe's are quite the pair!

One item out of my order came broken into pieces. It was virtually NOT PACKED AT ALL - only a few air packets thrown on top of the large ceramic planter, no protection whatsoever. Never received an item packaged with such a lack of care. Anyway, no one responded to my initial email with photos, not even a receipt acknowledgment. Had to call and press buttons forever. Finally, the person tells me this item cannot be re-sent (discontinued). Too bad - great large size planter for ridiculously low price on seasonal discount. Ok, but now it turns out that in order to get refunded, I have to take the heavy box with bits and pieces to my nearest Lowes (which is a 20 min drive from me!). Photos are not enough. This is for $5 refund!!!
I really thought that Lowes did improve in the last several years, and preferred to drive there than to go to Home Depot much closer to me. But this was the last time I was Lowes customer. Good bye. PS I'm still waiting for the remaining two items - also planters, and even larger in size. Was told on the phone that they are on back order, no indication on possible delivery time. And zero communication on this from Lowes. Nice customer service. And I wonder in what shape those two will come, and whether I'll have to hand deliver the heavy pieces to Lowes again! Deeply disappointed.

We purchased all new appliances from Lowe's. We have had a horrible time. They brought out our refrigerator and it was dented on the front door. We had to wait while they brought out a new door. We also bought a new range. They brought it out, of course it's dented. The dent was on the side where it wouldn't be seen, fine we will keep it. They plug it in, and the cord blows up. It was a bad cord. We are lucky it didn't hurt our wiring. They take the stove back. They bring out a new one, yep, dented in two places. They offer us a discount if we take it. He we will take it. We call the next day, they have no notes at all on it being dented or the discount. We go to pop popcorn on our new microwave, can't figure out how. There is of course no instruction book.

On July 1st my wife and I purchased a GE gas stove. Lowe's didn't have it in stock so we had to wait 10 days. They called and said it was in and it was to be delivered on July 15. It arrived on that day only to be damaged. The delivery guys were gone by the time we got it unboxed. So we drive to Lowe's which is 20 miles away. Again no stove in stock so we wait again. 2nd stove to be delivered on August 2nd. They called August 1st to say they unboxed the stove at the store and it was damaged. Guess what we wait again. Keep in mind we paid in full for this stove July 1st. We also paid on July 15 to have Lowe's convert it from natural gas to LP.
3rd stove to be delivered on August 16th. This time by a licensed plumber with a LP certification. When it arrived the plumber told me he didn't have a pipe wrench. Really a plumber without a pipe wrench. Let me loan you one. He hooked up the line but didn't do the conversion. I asked him about it and he said he wasn't licensed to do it. That's what I paid an additional 166.00 dollars for. Heck I can hook up a line. He left and off to Lowe's I go again. I talk with a guy that promises me this will be resolved today. He will call me as soon as he gets in touch with the installers. I give him my number and tell him don't call my wife call me. Well I guess he was afraid to call after all that has happened. He never called.
A lady from the installer called my wife and said their earliest date is August 22nd. We are still a couple of days away but I'm sure something will go wrong. I'm out 1700.00 dollars almost 2 months and still don't have a stove that will work. Lowe's hasn't done anything to try to rush things along. But why should they. They have their money! No one from Lowe's has contacted me to try to smooth things over. They simply don't care. This may not sound true but I assure you every word and account is spot on. I will never do business with Lowe's again and I will try to encourage everybody I know to do the same.

The worst experience in dealing with a delivery purchase! Purchased a refrigerator on 8/3/17 since ours has not been working well for a while, but finally stopped altogether. The Manager of the appliance dept. in Monroeville, PA waited on us and said it would take approx. 2 weeks, but usually they come in sooner. She said I feel bad that you are without one so we call you immediately if it comes in earlier. Delivery was set up for today, (8/19/17). On the day before the delivery I called since I had never received a call confirming the delivery or date. They connected me with the delivery dept. and he said the order was in and they would call the next morning to give a time frame.
I told him of the urgency. Sure enough the next morning they called and said they just opened the box and it was severely damaged and they could reorder it on Monday, mind you this would be 2 days later and we would have to wait at least another 2 weeks. He did offer a loaner, but that would be another inconvenience to fill up with food, be home for another delivery and take out all the food and unthaw once again. This was NOT happening so LOWES lost a very good customer and we will NEVER shop there and I was just issued a credit card also. I am spreading the word on their handling of this! Who opened the box the same day of delivery to find out if it is damaged. Shame on them!

I bought my refrigerator February 2016, and it was installed at the end of March 2016. On August 3rd I realized that the refrigerator was no longer cooling. All the food in the freezer had defrosted. I called Lowe's, and they referred me to the warranty number to call. It took until August 11th to get a service call to find out what was wrong. It turned out to be the compressor. It is now August 18th. I never received a call from anyone to let me know what was going on. I had to continue to call. I spent 2 hours on the phone on the 15th trying to find out if the part had been ordered. It had not be authorized. I spoke with a supervisor. She promised that someone would call me back in the next 2 days. Again, no call.
This morning I called again. I was told that the compressor had been ordered on the 16th. At this point, it is looking like this whole ordeal will have taken a month to resolve. And that is if they are telling me the truth. In the meantime I have lost hundreds of dollars in food, and have had to rent a refrigerator. I will never buy anything from Lowe's again, and suggest that nobody else purchase any major appliances from Lowe's. They suck!

I had a water heater installed by Lowe's, and I decided it was time to perform the routine maintenance on the heater by draining it to remove the sediment. The installers sat the heater so close to the edge of the pan that I could not attach the hose. I bought a brass elbow piece to connect between the heater and the hose, but even this was a tight squeeze to install and had to bed the pan slightly to make it fit. I couldn't get the elbow tight enough to eliminate all leaks, and then when I started draining I only got a trickle out. I found out that this is a sign of heavy sediment and to clear it I needed to remove the hose and poke something up in there... but I couldn't because I had a difficult-to-install elbow wedged in there. I might replace the entire thing with a new one installed by my plumber.

We bought 2 washers in 7 years at Lowe's Home Improvement. The first one was because it was a Sunday and had the truck to take it with me. It worked fine for about a year then the first of 3 breakdowns. You call and the repair company takes 3 to 5 days to access the problem, 5 to 7 days to order the parts (delivered to the house) and when they come in you have to call and schedule an appointment for the repair. Three weeks later you're good to go unless they send the wrong part which happened the last time. The second one we bought in March of 2015. It broke down for the third time 8/06/2017. It's a Whirlpool wtw5000dw 4.3 cu. ft washer. I know have an LG washer bought at Best Buy delivered and installed for the same price with an extended warranty.

Lowe's utilizes 3rd party vendors who may or may not be in direct communication with you and/or Lowe's regarding your purchased items. Lowe's does not advertise a back ordered item, so the item and timeline you are given for product shipment/tracking and delivery will not be accurate. I placed an order June 30 with a guaranteed delivery within 14 days. After 10 days I had not received a tracking number. After the 14th day my credit card was charged and the Lowe's online product portal displayed a delivered update status. This was false. A call was placed to Lowe's customer care who had contacted the vendor, verifying the order would be shipped and delivered with 7-10 days.
After 10 days; no tracking number or shipping day was emailed. A call was placed again; 3rd party vendor is still on backorder. A 14 day promissory was guaranteed to receive my item. I have still not received my item. I finally cancelled the order on grounds that Lowe's does not stand by their word on shipping products they verify to be in stock.
STAY AWAY FROM ONLINE SHOPPING WITH LOWE'S. They are not as equipped and trained on the ever pacing upward trend as other fortune 500 companies that are keeping up the times and prospering as a result of the age of demand and product delivery. Will not order from online Lowe's. Will shop from their biggest competitors who deliver online their word the product guarantee.

After placing the order I was to call for installation information however, I was told once the dishwasher comes in, I would be contacted. So why tell me to call? You know, when you do business over the phone and the other person doesn't sound confident in what they are saying, it kinda bugs me and maybe you. I am a disabled senior and have trouble walking distances and shop online a lot. But I called the local Lowe's store and right away asked to speak to the manager on duty.
First he told me he was glad I called as the person who took the order put in a discontinued model number and the order would just have sat who knows where and for how long. Secondly, I wanted to verify that the particular model indeed has to be ordered. He said yes. He said when the dishwasher comes in, the installation people will call and set up a date. Makes sense. The product came in this first week of August and I'm waiting and waiting for an installation call. Nothing. This past Friday afternoon I called the local Lowe's store and asked for the assistant manger I talked to previously. No go, he was in a meeting with the store manager. Okay so I got ahold of another assistant manager. I've never seen a store with so many managers!
Now this assistant manager tells me that the reason their CPO? Unit hasn't called to get the installation rolling is the model number was wrong. So much for taking care of business! Lowe's has outsourced their installation folks I guess. I just heard it Friday afternoon. So when your appliance comes in at the store this outsourced CPO unit calls the installer who then contacts the customer. If I hadn't called Friday afternoon the darn thing would have just sat there. So there's your world class Lowe's customer service for ya. Was gonna wait before writing this and see how the installation goes. I just hope I don't get a runaround with that and that the job is done correctly!! We have no Home Depot here and some might disagree but I've always dealt with Home Depot and they are far superior no matter where I lived and even their stock price shows it compared to Lowe's.

I asked them why their site didn't mention that the item was on backorder to which he replied that they just found out when they call the mfg. for my order status. Would like to know how they can change the status to delivered when it hadn't even been shipped. Sounds pretty shady to me.

I had a really bad experience with Lowe's company. I am really disappointed, and upset which I gave my business to them. Lowe's company team are so unorganized, not on time on their promises, and not responsible at all. They just want to get the job and take the customer money and leave and not care about to finish the job, and follow up with customer. When I called corporate office of Lowe's, they did not take care of my problem and complain. They treated me like every was my fault and I drop the ball. It is a big shame for Lowe's company which cannot take care of their customers. I am so sorry for the president of this company. You guys can do better just care about your customer, do your job right and on time, respect your customer, be honest with them, treat them like the way you want to be treat. I never ever go back to them and I do not recommend them to any of my family member or friends.

Lowes offers 11% rebates during some week to match competitive offerings. The problem is that the Power rebate site instructions are wrong and misleading. To make things more confusing is that the Lowe's receipt do not CLEARLY have the info the rebates are looking for. After submission, Lowe's rejects the submissions. I plan to see if my newest rebates are rejected, I plan to seek State attorney general's assistance for false and misleading advertising gimmicks.

Paid $75 to have measurements for my kitchen. The guy working at the counter was kind of a ** about the whole thing. I went home. I called the store and ask for the Kitchen Dept. I got the same ** on the phone. He said he would have the Manager call me back. He never asks my name or phone number. (Sure, we will call you right back). So if he never ask my name and phone number or order number or anything else. How the hell were they going to call back? Anyway I called the Main service number (Timed the call). 35 min and 11 seconds later The rep said because of liability issues they can't give me a copy of the measurements for my kitchen.

Moved to Bristol from Bensalem on May 3, 2017 and needed to update our new home's 1970's motif in the kitchen & two baths. As being a new resident we received a complimentary 10% off coupon from Lowe's and thought it'd be a good idea to use it since the items we needed would be pretty expensive stuff. We went to Lowe's store #1572 on 7/22 at 8:30 pm in search of a bathroom vanity, medicine cabinet, floor tiles, grout, kitchen sink and other items too long to list. Upon entering the store we found no one there to assist us in helping to find any items on our list and I mean NO ONE was on the floor except a couple of men talking to one another far away from where we were in the vanity isle. A lady employee kept paging over the loudspeaker for assistance to help customers every 3-4 minutes practically the whole time we were in the store which was an hour and a half.
We finally seen two male employees heading toward the break-room and asked them if there were more vanities that weren't in the one aisle we had been in and one of them said "no, only what's there" and continued into the break-room. We needed to look at tiles and again NO HELP in selecting a tile we needed. Found a medicine cabinet but NO HELP available to locate the box so my son used his iPhone to locate it himself which had heavy racks blocking the product from being pulled out on the floor level.
By this time I could feel my blood pressure so high and decided to NEVER shop there again. I saw an employee from afar & yelled to him to help us & he yelled to someone else to help us. The man who helped us was Ed who was very handy in getting the heavy rack away and got down on his bare knees to pull the box out & load it on the cart. After purchasing the med. cabinet & bringing it home discovered it's too large for the hole in the wall to install it. Am definitely taking it back and NOT shopping for another one there.
The Lowe's in Bensalem (where we moved from) is nothing like this store, their employees are always around to help. This store in Langhorne needs new management desperately and again I WILL NEVER SHOP THERE NO MATTER WHAT. Home Depot has 100% the advantage over Lowe's and I'm since a loyal customer of that store. BTW: I've written to the Lowe's store the next day of my horrible experience and GOT NO RESPONSE.

After I didn't receive it on the 7-13-17 started to call to find out where my order was, was told that it was on back order and someone would contact me. After a week more I called again. Was now told that there was an indefinite back order, I explained that I wanted to speak to a consumer management person. Once again told that they couldn't do that yet. I insisted. Finally I spoke with a woman name Linda. She looked into it, canceled my order and assured me that the Danvers Mass. store had one and would get it shipped to me for free. Once on the phone with a lady from that store for about 40 min she was having trouble locating the item stated someone would give me a call back the following day that day being 7-28-17.

We hired Lowe’s to install a roof on our garage. After the work was done, we had an abundance of material left over. They gave us partial credit not full credit for reasons we still don't understand. We also had not received an item we paid for. The store will not return our calls because they said they can't credit us for something we did not receive. I guess they don't understand you can’t return something you didn’t receive. Now after several calls to Corporate, even they won't return our calls. They basically are treating us like we are thieves and liars. For a company that prides themselves on customer service, what a joke. Our new slogan for them is not Lowe’s knows, but Lowe’s blows.

I purchased a Hustler Raptor Zero-Turn mower (60 in deck / 26 HP) on July 10, 2017. I requested home delivery and I was told it would arrive on July 26th. On July 26th I called the store to confirm the delivery time. The delivery truck arrived as promised. My wife was at home to receive the mower. My wife called during the delivery to inform me that it was not the mower that we had purchased. It was a Raptor 52 in zero-turn mower with no documentation at all. We talked with the assistant store manager on the phone and he had no excuse for the wrong mower other than they had no record of the correct mower being ordered? He offered to re-order the one that I had originally purchase and to leave the 52 in mower at my house to use until the correct one arrived. I thought that was a positive solution to an already unpleasant experience so we agreed.
The delivery person drove the mower into our out-building to store it. The next morning I went out to look it over. I filled it with gas (it didn't come with much), checked the oil and tires (both good). It started right up and I drove it out to test it. I went to engage the blades and nothing seemed to happen, the blades didn't engage. I didn't have any manuals but everything appeared that it should work. I tried again but nothing. I took it back into the garage and took a closer look. THE DRIVE BELTS HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED!! That's why the blades wouldn't turn. I called the asst manager back and his excuse was "that's how we get them". They don't install the belts. Then who does? Why deliver an item that isn't ready to go? And why wasn't my original mower on the truck?
This was the WORST purchasing experience I have ever had. I went to ask for my money back and was given it back with no issues. However, I spoke with the Manager and he was indifferent to the experience. Not much of an apology and said "I guess I should look into it". I recommend not purchasing a large mower from Lowe's since it appears they have a poor policy of checking items that are assembled and checking for quality/completeness before delivery. I won't be going back.

I was afraid to buy them right then and there, because, knowing myself, I would misplace them by the time the washing machine was delivered. The night before the scheduled delivery, I ran down to my local hardware store and bought the appropriate hoses. When the washing machine got delivered, I was told that they are not allowed to hook up the machine with brand new, good quality hoses, because they were not from Lowe's. SO, IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR WASHING MACHINE HOOKED UP, YOU HAVE TO BUY THEIR HOSES.

I go into store to purchase a couple more items, tell another cashier my problem and she makes a call. Finally the manager walks up and ask me if I'm the one who bought the WB.

Every time they hire a store manager, this idiot thinks he has to change up the store, knowing he's not going to be there very long.
You can never find help. If you’re in a hurry, just stay home. It is what it is and that's the way it is. We as customers are just **, and nothing we can do about it. If you are ever in a Lowe’s you will see 10 employees gathered around in a meeting in the middle of the day. When the meeting is over, it’s easier to go find Waldo. In construction sales they have three cash registers, most of the time only one is open and there will be at least 5 employees that are capable of opening the other two. Looks like the city working.

I bought the Wood Look tile flooring from Lowe's on Millerville in Baton Rouge after the flood of 2016. I was using it throughout my house so it was close to 3000 square feet. It was delivered and the company they contract to lay the tile sent their guys out. I know after the flood it was crazy and some workers were hired that were very questionable in their skills and a few other things in their life so I won't name the company. After approximately 1/3 of the tile was down they decided to grout what was laid. It was horrendous. There was not a straight line anywhere and the grout was black, I had ordered a light tan. It looked like a 6 year old had outlined every tile with a black crayon except that would have looked better! My tile guy informed me that my tile was mass produced in China and that it was all crooked. He even had a sample to show me.
We called Lowe's and a manager came to my house to assess the situation. She left and said they would get back with us about the situation. She called later that day to pick up some of the "Chinese crooked tile" to show it to the tile company. Guess what, every piece of tile was perfectly straight and made in the USA! My tile guy was not known to show up on a daily basis, one day he had to visit with his parole officer, so we did not get to confront him with this info. He was fired by the company while he was at another job.
The great part of this story is that Lowe's replaced my entire inventory of tile. That was great because someone with a truck just like the one my 1st tile guy drove, came to my house around 930 pm one night and loaded their truck up with as much of my tile as they could fit. Our neighbor called to ask us if we were doing something with our tile because a truck just left with so much that it could barely make it out of our driveway. We were not living in the house at that time. Lowe's also paid to have the tile removed and redone throughout our entire house. The managers name is Tangi and we still see her on our many trips to Lowe's. There were no questions asked. They came through at a time that was very stressful for our family and I wanted to make sure I let anyone that reads reviews knows. Great job!!!

I do not EVER write reviews- but this one is so bad I feel like others should have a fair warning. We decided to use Lowe's for our fence installation for our newly built house. We ordered the materials 8 weeks in advance so they arrive in time for the installation to take place the day after we closed on the house. The week before closing, they called trying to deliver the materials. We specially told them that we could not do ANYTHING to the house until AFTER we closed. We were then told that our installation date would be pushed back until 3 weeks AFTER closing. So, we got all that worked out and they agreed to do the installation on the day we originally agreed upon. All seemed fine... WRONG!
The worker brought his wife and two small children with him (2 year old and a 5 year old)... They went out on my brand new screened in porch (without asking) and the smallest child leaned against the screen and busted through it. My brand new house was damaged within 24 hours of closing. The children ate food on the porch, got crumbs everywhere, now I have an ant problem, AND then they started throwing rocks at my neighbors house. These children ran wild while the dad worked on the fence and the mom sat in the car... Then, I was told that they didn't order enough materials and were FIVE panels too short to finish the fence. I'm talking like 60 feet of fence that just wasn't ordered.
I have been trying to get in touch with the Lowe's team member that we originally started with, paid our money to, and set up everything with, and have had NO response for 5 days now. I've left 6 voicemail and 4 text messages with no response (but before I had an issue he would respond within 20 minutes, funny how that works huh?). I have been up to the store and was assured someone would contact us- still have not heard anything. So, now I am left with an unfinished fence and a busted screen on my porch. DO NOT USE LOWE'S.

If I don't get it today the day I was told I will switch and go to Home Depot and get a refund on my purchase.

On July 13 we called because we hadn't heard anything and were told that the service had been completed. We told them that no, the service had not been completed and we were put on hold. We were then told that the part was ordered and would be in on Monday, July 17. They didn't want to schedule an appointment until the part came in but my husband insisted that we get on their schedule and they said we were scheduled for today, July 20. It's 3:00 now and we haven't heard from anyone so my husband called back. He was told that we weren't on the schedule and the soonest available would be next Thursday, July 27. My husband told them this was unacceptable and after being on hold was told that someone would be out tomorrow.
I don't have a lot of confidence that they will be here tomorrow, but even if they are, it has been 3 weeks for a new appliance that shouldn't have broken during the first six months.

Lowe's has just lost over $8,000.00 in flooring business. On their website Monarch Flooring is described as requiring no clue for installation. When we attended at the store, we were told that we would have to read the instructions and in order to do that, we had to buy a BOX of flooring with the instructions inside. We slipped the instructions out and read where glue IS required to install the flooring. Took the box back and made sure that it looked like we hadn't opened it (which would have disallowed us to return it). We then asked another salesman in the flooring dept. who had no idea. This is probably the 5th time we have had unsatisfactory service in this store. This should be an outlet for products as no one knows anything about the product that they sell. Never again!

The part is ordered but not able to be tracked for some reason, and Lowe's has not been any help up until today... when I called and complained about their process, their service, the fact I've had to do the job of the service people and of Lowe's customer service. Lowe's has now agreed this is an urgent situation, given the 100+ degree weather in the south, the fact I have a family of 5 living out of a mini fridge, and the fact the repair place has not attempted to get the part from somewhere else. I can't tell you the end result. I can say the $80 extended warranty plus the 4 week long headache isn't worth it.

Purchased a refrigerator last year and had extended warranty on it however when it was time to fix it, the manufacturer and Lowe's could not decide who needed to deal with it, so I gave it back and purchased another one in September. Now that one is not working and I was told they were coming to my house between 8 and 4 and I had to get my sister to come to town to cover the house, but when I called to get an update on the time frame, they told me that the call had been canceled.
The store Asst. Manager gave them the wrong S/N so they refused to come and didn't call to tell me. I have lost lots of food because of Lowe's and they don't care about anything except selling you the appliance but not service. They want me to take off again to maybe have someone come to the house in 2 days if they show up. They also said that the other tech didn't know how to fix it. So why have someone work for you that doesn't know the job? Will never buy from them again.

In September of 2015, I purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator at Lowe's in Liberty, MO. I bought a 5 year extended warranty ($109.00 extra from price of appliance). Last Dec, when I opened the top freezer, I discovered a crack in the bottom of the plastic freezer - nothing had been dropped in it. I called Lowe's and since I bought the warranty, they referred me to the warranty hotline. The first company that came out was the BOTTOM OF THE BARREL!! They did come and did NOTHING - saying they would get back to me to repair the freezer. Well, I heard NOTHING - finally I called them when I got a letter from them a month later, saying if I did not respond they would have to return the part they ordered! I called them and found out the number they were trying to contact me at was not my number... I told them to forget it - I'd call someone else. Internet reviews of them were extremely negative, when I looked.
Called Lowe's back and they gave me number of another repair person. He came out and looked and was courteous. However when he returned with the "repair kit", what was put on it (and the crack is right in front where you see it when you open freezer) - the solution was a piece of tape which looks like shipping tape. I could have done this myself. If I move or need to sell the fridge, who would want it, even though I paid over $800.00 for it?
I sent a complaint to Whirlpool recently (have been occupied with grandchildren since Dec) - anyway, I got a phone call that went to my voicemail and when you listen to it and call the numbers, you do not have the option to call back and talk to a human being. The recording was like some sort of a 'canned response"'and of course, they hope to keep your business and wish you a good day. Take my advice - don't buy an appliance from Lowe's - they don't care about you once you pay them. I sent a copy of my letter to Whirlpool Corporation to Lowe's in Liberty - and they did not bother to even respond!

I just spent 5 minutes on Lowe's "Customer Care" line, recounted my whole horrible experience trying to purchase something from their recent flyer and then got cut off!!! I then called back and was on hold long enough to really get pissed off... So I hung up. Short version, I spent an hour and a half on their website trying to buy a product from their recent flyer. There was an offer for a FREE Bison Airlighter if I bought the Bbq gazebo... Each time I tried to make the purchase I was being charged for the lighter. There were two other banners showing while I was in my shopping cart for a free Dewalt Saw and a free blade. After going around in circles for quite some time, I clicked on them, added them to my cart, deleted the lighter and went through with the payment process.
I even tried the live chat to get my issues resolved but after lots of back and forth I was no further ahead. I got an email with a link to my receipt. When I clicked on the link the site opened up again... No receipt. I did this about 5 times and kept going in circles so I then gave up. I even created an account but it was after the purchase so it was not linked to my account... Yesterday, I got an email saying my order was ready to be picked up... About 3 hrs later I got another email confirming that my order had been canceled with no explanation!
I drove all the way down to the store today, from St Catharines to Niagara Falls. I Stood at the Customer Service desk for about half an hour until an online service rep showed up. He went back to his office and obviously had the same issues I did with the website. After some time he came out and said that the site was archaic and kind of shrugged that there was nothing he could do. He suggested that I go from the Customer Service desk down to the other end of the building to the Commercial desk to make my purchase... I walked the considerable distance to see that there was only one register open and there was a line up of at least 5 people. I then told the rep that I wasn't going to wait in line after all the time I had spent there. So I turned to go back to the Exit... He just let me go. I hate having to work to be anyone's Customer.

I purchased some 3 1/4 finger joint pre-primed base (clamshell) from Lowe's and brought it home, put a coat of paint on it. After the first coat, I went to do a quick sanding and noticed all the moulding marks were showing on the base, which means only one thing: the manufacturer didn't keep his cutters sharp, which then means it's cheap manufacturing. Made in Chile is what it said on the tag. I am a professional custom home builder and bought this for my own house. I'll never again buy moulding from Lowe's. Hopefully, Home Depot uses different and better suppliers. I never got this back in the day when we had lumber yards and not these big stores. I wasted my money, my time painting and now I have cheap, poor quality base, plus the shoe I bought was also poorly milled. Only problem is, all this moulding was not cheap.

I ordered a refrigerator on Lowes.com and was given a delivery date and 2 hour time window for 7/14/17, from a Jacksonville (FL) Lowe's store. After the delivery window passed I called Lowe's delivery (not the other way around!) and learned that my item would not be delivered because "the driver was called away on a family emergency". I was assured that I would be contacted by Store Management; I was not.
Instead I received an email for rescheduled delivery on 7/15/17. On 7/15 I received a phone call from Lowe's: this time "the driver had been injured" so my item would once again not be delivered. The delivery rep offered me 10% off the bill and assured me that the refrigerator would be delivered on 7/16/17. I am rather certain that it won't be and, if I am correct, I will be cancelling the order completely. Regardless, I will NEVER order from Lowe's in the future based upon this ridiculous and repeated delivery failure. Good luck to those who choose Lowes.com!

We have been a very good customer of Lowe's since 2008. We have multiple times replaced all appliances in our house through Lowe's along with a whole house generator. I always do all of my shopping for appliances and hardware at our Estero, Florida Lowe's as they have always been great. This appears to now be sadly coming to an end. Back in 2015, we purchased a high-end Samsung Sparkling Water Dispensing French Door Fridge. It failed completely within a few months after 3+ ice dispenser replacements and was deemed non-repairable after the three attempts. Lowe's was gracious and did a buyback. We then purchased through Lowe's an LG French Door model in 2016 and almost a year later, the ice maker stopped making ice.
They sent out a repair tech and replaced the ice maker. That soon failed and back again for another ice maker. Not good again and on the third attempt they deemed the issue was with the fancy compressor. We have now had multiple ice makers and 2 compressors replaced in a matter of 3-4 months. Lowe's said that after the fourth attempt we would be eligible for a buyback and we then picked out another beautiful LG through Lowe's. This was put on hold as they said we still needed one more attempt. The LG tech came out yesterday and replaced the compressor with a supposedly new model but nothing. It actually failed completely overnight and is warm so we had to move all food over to the loaner that our gracious Estero store provided us with. We went down to Lowe's today and they got in contact with corporate and were told that we had to endure yet a 5th repair attempt to confirm the fridge is dead.
Customer service pretty much lied when they said we would be eligible for a buyback after the fourth attempt as we have been scheduled for a fifth attempt later next week. Is this how Lowe's should treat a loyal customer? I now have had a second loaner fridge taking up the rest of the space in my kitchen and now have had to go through losing two full refrigerators of food and multiple lost time with visits and repairs. I've had to transfer food back and forth so many times, it feels like a full-time job. I've already written a letter to corporate but don't expect much of a reply as Lowe's has demonstrated that it doesn't need loyal customers like us. This is written for Karin **, my mother and me, her son, Bruce ** as we both own the house. My love affair with Lowe's is quickly coming to an end.

If I could rate the company under 1 star I would. I ordered Cali bamboo for my new home and was told that the order would take 7 days to arrive to the store. A couple days later I placed a second order for the matching bamboo stair trim which they said wouldn't arrive until August. 10 days later I receive a call stating that the flooring had arrived. After standing in line for over 30 minutes, turns out the flooring hadn't arrived, but instead the stair trim had shown up first. The lady at the desk told me the flooring wouldn't be here until August... a whole month after the order was placed. When I asked her why it was taking so much longer she had no response and instead referred me to the flooring department. After running down the aisles trying to find a representative to help me I finally found a man who was initially very unhelpful.
He stated that there's no way for him to track the order and that they will call in August when it arrived, then started to walk away from me. At this point I had lost my cool and told the representative that I had ripped up the existing flooring on the first level of my home as I was originally told the order would only take 1 week to show up. When I asked for a manager the rep told me he knew what the manager was doing and that he would be too busy to assist me. Instead he decided to actually help me instead and after 1 hour found out that the order wasn't actually placed even though I had paid over 2k for it up front!!! Turns out another customer had ordered close to double the amount of the same flooring as me 3 days after I had, and the shipment was on the truck scheduled for the next day.
They decided to take my order from that customer's order and told me they would refund the payment then run it back through again so my name was linked to the shipment instead of the other customer's. When processing the refund and then paying for it again, I had asked if I should transfer funds in case the refund didn't show up immediately. The rep said no because it shows up within the same day. It is now 3 days later and I still have not received the refund. Instead I now have two transactions for over 2k for the same flooring. This whole process has consumed over 3 hours of my time and I am now going to have to take extra time out of my week to call the company to find out where in the heck my refund is.
I literally hate Lowe's. I just bought my new home and have been to the local store about a dozen times. Each of those times I have had to run around trying to find an employee to come to the department I need assistance in. They're incredibly understaffed and never have registers open, instead they have the self-check out tills which are not ideal in a store with such large merchandise. I can honestly say I am going to drive the extra 15 minutes to go to Home Depot from now on.

This store (LOWE'S) is absolutely atrocious all around. Disgraceful company that clearly does not care what happens to customers after they sold my parents a defective washer, which damaged their home. They paid for installation and delivery of a washer/dryer combo that after one wash that same day, flooded their entire bathroom, and exterior walls surrounding the bathroom... Water also seeped into the garage and carpets alongside the bathroom. This store has done absolutely NOTHING TO HELP FIX THE ISSUES THEY CAUSED. Please do not shop there and if you do please know that if anything goes wrong, they will NOT fix or take accountability for their actions. Instead they force you to speak to the 3rd party who they subcontract out to. This company is called XPO logistics, STAY away from them. IMO, this company is equally if not worse than Lowe's.
We did not pay a 3rd party contractor, we paid Lowe's. Horrendous customer service, products and follow through on customer issues all around. My advice is NEVER shop here for any large ticket items, unless you're willing to take big risks and have thousands of dollars to dish back out if something doesn't work or is damaged. My parents are elderly, do not have a lot of money/do not have additional funds to pay for all of the damages they've caused, nor do I feel they should have to. It has now been almost 11 full days since this happened with no resolution in sight. Shop local stores for appliances and do not contribute to this corporation's greed and carelessness.
I have countless pictures of all the damages but they still refuse to do anything about it, except tell my family to contact the 3rd party XPO, who also has been ZERO help. I have tried to reach out to both companies multiple times, eventually trying to channel all lines of communication in writing via email because my family was constantly miscommunicated information and what I feel like lied to. Both companies should be ashamed of themselves and how they take advantage of their customers. It demonstrates varying levels of extremely poor business practices. ANYONE CONSIDERING LOWE'S, please BEWARE, they do not care one bit what happens once they have your money.

The first time I went to this location was after my father passed away and to cheer my sister up who took care of my dad during hospice, I wanted to buy her a grill because her's finally gave out. When I went to the store I told her to pick any grill out she wanted, and though having a successful business and she knows that she never lets anyone buy things for her as we grew up humble. I said, "Well you like this charcoal grill" which was outside and rusted and it was $119 and she put her limit at $99, so she wanted to leave and I said, "Wait this one is rusted and been outside. Let me see if a manager will compromise." We asked the sales person who said that he would probably not but I asked if he could at least take a look at it.
So here he comes, a side note this is while this store had no manager, the asst. manager came out and said, "Are you the guys trying to get something for nothing?" My sister thought he was joking until he said, "I don't know why people come in here trying to get something they can't afford." I called the acting manager who was covering two stores and he said, "Oh my gosh I am so sorry" and they were getting a manager soon. No grill was bought and I asked for nothing though he offered. My sister was crushed and embarrassed and stayed in bed for two days as being her first trip out of the house since losing our dad, which was supposed to be a light moment.

So, carry forward to June 25th of this year at 2017 at 12:39 I went to buy a security door at this location. Now my mom is the one in poor health. I went back to get a door they had advertised for $109. I took it with other things to the front and it rang up for $138, I said that's not correct. So she called and asked a sales person to confirm and without giving him an item number he said, "He got the wrong door." So I asked how he could Know without an item number and to have him meet me back there. So I went back. No one was anywhere to be found so I took a picture and went to the register and showed the girl the photo which was the correct door.
She called him back and he rushed up in front of customers and said, "I said he got the wrong door. We don't have a cheap door in stock at this location." And he sat on my roller cart and said, "If he doesn't want to pay for it I'll take it back right now." I asked to speak to a manager who said, "If he has a picture that matches the door, give it to him." The sales guy became irate and said, "Is it right we have to give people what they want?" and, "How is that fair?" I asked him twice to back off. I called the manager and asked him to look at this employee ranting and sitting on my cart. And following her to the self check out - his reply was, "I saw you sticking your phone in her face" and I said, "You mean showing her the photo?"

But Lowe's is now telling me that the products I purchased were not included in this rebate program and that I am not entitled to any rebate. That doesn't seem possible to me because the store clerk informed me that I qualified for this rebate, the signs in the paint department were clearly marked that I qualified for this rebate and the rebate receipts show that my purchase of this product qualified me for this rebate.
The only reason I purchased this paint at Lowe's was for the rebate. There was no manager available to correct this problem. Not only did I go to the store when I made the purchase, but I spent over an hour on the phone with customer service being bounced around. No one could resolve this problem.

Extremely Rude Sales Rep in Millwork. I went to Lowe's today July 10 2017 around 1:15 pm to order a storm door. (I had done research online) Liked their offerings and knew what I wanted. When I got to that department I saw that the rep (later found out his name is Marcus) had a customer, so I just browsed that section being sure to give them their space for privacy. After 10 minutes or so I heard him make a phone call to ask for advice on getting a transaction through. Still giving them "their space" I waited. He finally in agitation looked at me and asked "do you have a quick question?" I replied "no it's not a quick question, I came to order a storm door." "Well I don't know how long it'll be." So my reply was "I'll wait." "Well it'll be a while," he said. So I simply asked if he could give me an idea of how long, thinking I could browse other areas of the store.
He shrugged his shoulders. Again, clearly agitated, his reply was "I don't know, I've been at this for half an hour," raising his voice. Well, with that reply and looking at the expression on his face, I realized that he wanted me to just go away. So, rather than to disrespect the customer at his desk, or to show a lack of respect for myself, by as we say "going off on him." I left and found a manager (Jake) to register my complaints with. Of course, he apologized, asked if he could help with anything, (he couldn't) said that he would speak to Marcus and I left. I never say never, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I go back to Lowe's again. By the way, I went to Home Depot, got started on ordering the door, Daryl the supervisor was like a breath of fresh air. Just what I needed after that awful encounter at Lowe's!!

We purchased a new washing machine and a refrigerator last week and they were supposed to be delivered today. First mistake, at the time of purchase (we did not notice until after we left the store) we were charged for pick up and recycling of two appliance despite the fact that we were only going to have them remove the old washing machine. We decided to let this slide. Then we were originally told delivery would be Friday while we were in the appliance department. When we paid for it at the register, it was moved to Sunday. Again, we were ok with that and let it slide.
When shopping for the refrigerator, we were concerned about the lack of clearance on either side of the fridge and expressed this to the salesperson who reassured us that basically "no clearance at all was necessary and that their delivery people would make it fit." We doubted this and she repeated that there should not be a problem. Well when the refrigerator arrived today, they were not able to make it fit. Therefore the refrigerator went back on the truck back to Lowe's.
As for the washing machine - it was never on the truck to be delivered. The delivery man had no knowledge of the washing machine. We called the store and gave them our information and then they were asking if we paid for the washing machine. I told her that we did and that it should show on the invoice, since it showed on my copy of the invoice and bill. She then had to transfer us to the appliance department who told us the washer was still sitting on the sales floor and had never been added to the invoice. When we inquired about the fridge, he told us that we should have been told that we required 3/8 this more of an inch than the size of the fridge and that all of their salespeople would have told us that. Well we were not told that.
Perhaps they need to review this information with their employees. After all of this we still do not have a washer or a fridge since they can't deliver the washer until tomorrow. Also, we took the door off of the hinges and put it out of the way while they tried to bring the fridge in. The door, which shouldn't have even been touched, is now covered with black handprints and scuff marks

Next, after completing the forms and sending copies of receipts from the purchase, I received a note from their rebate department that it was NOT on rebate and gave me one day to respond. I called the rebate office and explained. They assured me that it could have been an error on the salespersons part and to call the store manager. I was transferred (7) times at one store. I spoke to Amber and Mark (maybe Marcus). They both returned my call giving me information that I gave to them. Mark asked me "what is your concern now that these were not a part of the rebate?" Is he stuck on stupid!!! My concern is that I am not getting a $500 Visa gift card as promised. I will never purchase anything from a Lowe's anywhere again. I am paying off the credit card and will be closing the account. Lowe's is a waste of time and space! They need to train their staff properly!! Ridiculous!!

BEFORE BUYING AT LOWE'S READ THIS - On July 1, we bought a grill Weber at Lowe's, we wanted it assembled but they did not have it, the employee promised to have it for Thursday, July 6. When we went to pick it up the grill, our name was not listed. After half hour they found the order. We were informed that they did not have it yet, and we were offered to take the one in exhibit for a 10% discount. When we checked it had several scratches, two hits and the lid spring was broken. We refused to take it, and we asked to speak with the manager (Chay) who did not apologize and with a very rude attitude asked us if we wanted the money back, we told her that due of they lack of responsibility we would have to cancel an activity already planned for Saturday and her answer was that she could not do anything to get us the grill before Saturday, 3 days later. This is the last time We buy in this establishment. They're not serious or professional.

I have been dealing with LOWE'S Front Royal since 2005. With few exceptions, everything in the 1300 sq ft finished basement came from Lowe's, i.e., drywall, doors, kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, ceiling tiles, overhead cam lights, padding, carpeting, paint, nails, etc. Within the last few years, our kitchen appliances have been replaced by Lowe's and main floor carpet replaced with wood flooring. I have been singing the praises of Lowe's for 12 years...BUT NOT TODAY. REPEAT NOT T-O-D-A-Y!!!
BACKGROUND: Our mowing company broke our downstairs security door with flying rock and it needed replacing. We picked out a door and LOWE'S sent someone to install it. He arrived at 4 PM (finished circa 8 PM) and, upon completion, informed my husband that he could do not better than what he did! LOWE'S called the next morning to see if we were satisfied...NO! We can't close/lock without much pressure -- I cannot do it! Children could not do it! CODE? They said they would have someone call within 48 hours... eight (8) business days have passed and circa 4-5 calls from us -- no joy! LOWE'S customer service? We have yet to experience that in this matter!!! My husband called today asking for the status. No satisfaction other than "someone will call tomorrow". He did advise that if we didn't hear from someone tomorrow, the next contact with LOWE'S will be a certified to their corporate headquarters.

I went to Lowe's in New Tampa to arrange for the installation of a shower door. I was supposed to be contacted and a technician would come in within 48 hours to measure and quote on the job. And for this service I had to pay a deposit. The first contact I had was after more than 4 days and then too the installer could only come in within 3 days. I called Lowe's and spoke to the Manager David ** and requested that I would come in for a refund as the service was unsatisfactory and I would trust Lowe's to do my job. David apparently hit a refund button so I will get back my deposit in 14 days. That's 18 days after I paid. Lowe's should be avoided at all costs or it can be costly to you. And the delay will cost you more as I could have had the installation done much sooner.

I bought a top of the line front loading washer and dryer from Lowe's in Trussville Al. When it was delivered the sidekick washer was scratched. The delivery guys did not know how to hook them up, after 3 hrs they finished and left mud in my house, left paper in my yard. After they left I turned on the washer and it did not work, they broke the door. Lowe's delivered another one and a new mess for me to clean up, two days later this washer flooded my laundry room. I called and told them to come pick them up and changed out for a less expensive set.
When we got to the store customer service could not even figure how much money was owed back to us, my wife told them how much they owed us, after 2 hrs one of the managers finally figure out that my wife was right. They were trying to short us $200! We got our new set and the washer shook the whole house, I put my level on it and it wasn't even close to level. I leveled it myself, the delivery guys did not bother to put a level on it. This was without a doubt my worst experience ever. Oh yeah when they delivered our new washer and dryer they delivered the floor model that had a scratched door, nothing was in a box. When I went back to the store the floor models were gone. That's because they were at my house. I honestly don't know how they stay in business treating people like that.

She even SPOKE with a MANAGER in delivery who ensured that it could be delivered on Thursday morning. Well needless to say it wasn't delivered. I called the store around 3:30 Thursday evening to find out why it hadn't been delivered. I was told that my delivery had been rescheduled for Sunday, and that someone should have called to inform me of the change. When I asked why I had been rescheduled, I was told by Kim that they only had two delivery trucks and only two delivery guys.
I then called corporate and explained my situation to them. Needless to say all they did was call the store... and then to tell me that it was rescheduled due to bad weather.

I purchased 2 appliances, in-store, from Lowe's in Mill Creek, WA; a stove and a refrigerator. Once the day came for delivery, I was told by the delivery service personnel that they would NOT bring the refrigerator up the stairs of my townhouse as they "needed" to keep it upright. The stairway is a typical 36-inch wide pathway with no obstructions and with a height of 67 inches tall from first step to ceiling. Bryan, one of the delivery persons, explained that the fridge is 71 inches tall and they might don't carry an appliance using a "coffin" method. They were NOT willing to entertain any other reasonable methods to accommodate a workaround solution. In the end, I returned to Lowe's to get my $1000 refund for the fridge with no apology or genuine sense of loss of my business. I have since purchased the same refrigerator at Home Depot with no delivery issues at all and intend to purchase 2 more appliances, NOT from Lowe's.

We worked with Lowe's PSI in Newnan, GA for a shower install. The general contractor (GC) had never installed the shower waterproofing membrane (Kerdi Schluter) and the tiler slopped black Aqua Defense all over everything (including trim, walls, etc.). The GC didn't follow up on any work performed. The tiler placed the toilet on our hardwood floors instead of walking it a few more steps to the outside. When we saw the condition of the shower install plus the toilet sitting on hardwoods in a puddle of water, we went to the local Lowe's and discussed with Assistant Manager. The only action he took was to refer us to Lowe's corporate in NC. After numerous phone calls to many different people in NC, Lowe's came out to inspect the shower wall and take pictures of the damaged hardwood floors. Lowe's agreed the product was incorrectly installed and needed to be torn out and redone.
Lowe's contractor has not shown up when scheduled and even Lowe's corporate cannot contact him. Lowe's is unable and unwilling to meet with us in person as we offered to drive to NC to meet with them. Lowe's customer service in the corporate office does not want to resolve your problems as they refer you back to the installer (who caused the problem). Unfortunately, the salesperson overpromises and Lowe's collects your money upfront so they have NO incentive to follow up. Please never use Lowe's to install anything! We wish we had paid more attention to reviews instead of listening to the sales pitch. We are stuck on the Lowe's customer service Merry-go-round, an incompetent contractor/workers, a toilet sitting on our patio, damaged hardwoods. So sad -- our dream shower is a horrible nightmare thanks to Lowe's Professional Installation service.

I am writing this review to warn others about the Cranberry Twp PA store. I recently ordered a Samsung fridge since mine had quit working and was not able to be serviced. I purchased the fridge and it was to be delivered about 3 weeks post purchase. I took 2 days of vacation, one to prepare the house and move things for the delivery and the 2nd day for delivery. On day one Lowe's called late afternoon to inform me that my fridge was on back order and they would not be delivering until the end of July. That was 2 months away and no working fridge. I needed to purchase one that they had in stock for speedy delivery. I purchased a new Frigidaire. It was to be delivered and connected (existing water line from previous fridge).
The delivery guys were sales floor employees who I remember from the store. They refused to hook up but just plug in fridge. Now I have a new fridge that is not making ice or dispensing water. The Lowe's employee told me to call Best Buy. They will do it for a fee but Lowe's never hooks up the icemaker to a existing line. To make matters worse the thing make noise. I took the employee's advice. Went to Best Buy. Bought the same fridge about the same price (slightly less) that includes the connection of the fridge. I called Lowe's to request return pick up but after about an hour of calling and nobody answering any lines at Lowe's, I decided to just go there after work. After speaking with a very nice and helpful manager I was scheduled for a return pick up tomorrow (Saturday). Best Buy called today to confirm the 12-4 appt. to deliver my new fridge but Lowe's never called to confirm my 8-12 am pick up of the return.
I have been calling Lowe's all day and nobody will answer. You get automated system and can never get a person to answer a call. I looked up the corp customer service online and called. I talked to a sympathetic customer rep who promised me he would get in touch with the store and have someone call me tonight. That was 4 hours ago and the store will be closing soon. I guess we just pray they do the first thing correct in this experience and show up to take the damaged stock back. I already know that Lowe's has seen my last dollar with all the other choices we have today.

So after spending nearly $20,000 at Lowe's last year for my home renovation I went back last night to get some paint to freshen up the look of some of the rooms. I bought 6 cans of paint. Put them in the trunk of my car and drove home for the night. Open up the trunk today and find that one of the 6 cans I bought has been leaking all over my car since last night. I called the store only to be told that it's not their fault - "There's no way that the can couldn't have been sealed as we use a machine". And he's right - they do use a machine - before they put it in the shaker. Then they pull it out, pry it open, put a blob on the top to mark the can and use a rubber mallet to close it again.. Apparently it's either my driving (I didn't realize I was Mario Andretti) that caused it to open. How that works since I have 5 perfectly sealed cans that aren't leaking I'm not really sure.
Apparently it is also my responsibility after I order the paint to go grab a mallet off the shelf and make sure that the cans are sealed. Customer service is willing to replace the can (how generous) but it's my responsibility to get the car cleaned and get the paint out after they failed to seal the can. Never had this problem with ANY paint in 15 years until now. VERY disappointed with their lack of customer service.

This is my FIRST time shopping at Lowe's and without a doubt it will be my LAST. Purchased 3 impact doors on 5/19/2017 FOR $5,623.00. Given an ETA of June 3rd. To be on the safe side I gave my contractor and ETA of June 14th. He informed me he had other jobs, but he would decline one to accommodate my work. So the contractor, started ripping stuff down and preparing may patio for the installation. Upon realization that I had not received a call from Lowe's (Boynton Beach Store #1111) on June 3rd that my order was in, I contacted the store. This is where it all went DOWNHILL.
I was given a SECOND ETA, of June 27, which doubled the time of the first ETA June 3rd (purchase 5/19). I was asked by an Assistant Manager, WHO CHOSE THAT VENDOR (AWD) "WE DON'T USE THAT VENDOR ANYMORE; THEY ARE HORRIBLE" (My answer is Lowe's, a representative sitting at the millwork desk). By this point my contractor is frustrated because he declined another job, therefore he demands that I compensate him for his loss of income (I was furious, BUT the fact is the fact. I had not live up to my promised start date, so I had to pay the contractor $1500.00). Granted I still have not gotten the doors.
Today is June 28th, I called the store AGAIN (this must be my 15th time calling), with steam in my ears. I spoke to another manager, explaining that I have been more than patient, how my house is in shambles, because the job is in the middle, how I had to compensate the contractor and how disappointed I was in Lowe's. I was basically told that because the doors are coming from a third party vendor, there is nothing really Lowe's can do (WRONG). I don't care what vendor you use, they should all be backed by Lowe's. Similar to how I had to compensate my contractor, for Lowe's/Vendor inefficiencies; similar rule should apply to Lowe's.
If I wanted a shabby vendor, I could have gotten that on my own. I would not have gone through Lowe's, I would have taken myself down to Hialeah, and paid half the price BUT I CHOSE LOWE'S (bad decision) thinking that they would back their customers and not leave me out in the battle field with a vendor. LONG STORY SHORT, doors purchased 5/19, now June 28, 2017 still NOT IN RECEIPT. NO CLUE when I will get them. Maybe they will be a nice CHRISTMAS GIFT. Horrible experience, almost feel like crying but have to keep myself grounded. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ORDERING SPECIAL ORDERS FROM LOWE'S. READ THE REVIEWS. SHOP SMART!!!

I stopped by the day after receiving an email confirming my online order was ready for pick-up. There was nobody ahead of me in line and the store was quiet. The Customer Service Associate verified my credit card and photo ID and told me my wait would be a few minutes. When I approached the desk after 35 minutes, she told me they were very busy. Really! With what/whom??? I told her by now I could have found the items in store, loaded them on my buggy, cancelled my online order and checked the items through. No apologies and totally unconcerned, her response was simply "Oh, you can if you want to!" Which I did. But because the items on the shelf were priced higher, I wanted her to put through the transaction. She then told me to wait while she saw to another customer who had just come into the store to do a return. No manager could be found and I was told to see the same Customer Service Associate to call the Assistant Manager.
After being in the store for an hour with no success, I left the store and the items and told another associate I was going to cancel. Before I returned home, the email confirming my order cancellation came through. Imagine! They are more efficient at cancelling orders and processing returns. Good Luck Lowe's with doing business in Canada. Looks like you will be following in the footsteps of Target! Although in all fairness, the Target staff were outstanding in customer service.

I was too busy didn't make time to put it together and take it back until the last day. I purchased it on the 27 of May and took it back on June 27. Well the manager said they couldn't refund my money cause it was past the 30 days return policy cause May had 31 days and all I could do is to call the manufacturer and have it repair.

Recently I had what I would consider to be an unacceptably bad experience with Lowe's Home Improvement. I was replacing the wrap-around "skirt" on my deck and needed lumber. As it was more than I could strap to the roof of my car, I decided that rather than rent a truck I would have Lowe's deliver it. This was a MAJOR mistake on my part, one which I will never repeat. Now the amount of lumber was probably trivial in terms of building a house, etc, but consisted of treated lumber (supposedly #2 on the web page) as follows here: 25 1"x4"x10', 35 1"x4"x8', 8 1"x4"x12', 6 2"x4"x8', and 2"x6"x10'. That's only 78 pieces of lumber - but as a homeowner and a wood worker it seemed like a lot to ME.
The delivery went just fine: the order was placed one afternoon and it was delivered the next day, and the truck driver was very friendly. He off-loaded it (with a small fork-lift) into my driveway exactly as requested. But while the DELIVERY was fine, the selection of lumber which I received was far from it. Of the 78 pieces of lumber I ordered: 11 were so severely warped that they were unusable, 9 were twisted beyond usability, 10 had checks (splits) at at least one end (and one had a split not at either end but running almost the entire length of the board), 4 had loose (or missing) knots, and 1 had a split starting in a knot, and it ran across the board causing it to break when I lifted it off the stack of lumber.
So in summary, 25 of the 78 boards (just under a third) were not really usable AND they did not meet the industry standard for #2 common lumber. Had I gone to Lowe's myself, I would never have selected those 2 pieces of "throw-away" lumber, and I'm still kicking myself that I didn't go and pick it out myself. BUT Lowe's has customer service and so I called to complain and to see what they would do about the defective lumber. I reached the switchboard, and the person I spoke with (operator maybe? no idea) told me that I needed to speak with customer service. Then I was put on hold waiting for someone to pick up.
Roughly 15 minutes later, someone picked up and immediately hung up on me. But (assuming the best) I decided that it had been an accident and I called back. This time I was told that I would have to speak with someone in building materials (or lumber...no longer sure which and my notes aren't clear), and again I was put on hold to wait. And wait. This time I was cut off sooner, because about 10 minutes later I suddenly had a dial tone, telling me that the other end had hung up the phone. Over a span of a week I made 9 more calls, and I never got to speak with anyone, even when I asked to speak with the store manager. So finally I actually went to Lowe's only to be told that I "would need to call customer service since it was an on-line order."
I eventually bought additional lumber to replace the unusable pieces I had received, and I plan never again to order online from Lowe's - and I will not shop there unless I urgently need something that I cannot get at the Orange home improvement store. My personal opinion is that when an order is pulled, little attention is paid to the condition of the merchandise being selected, and I am not suggesting that this is what happened but such orders as mine are a good place to "dump" items which nobody would buy in the store where they could be seen and rejected by the customer. (I'm not saying they do that, but the possibility exists.)
Disposing of the unusable lumber was easy: I ended up using the usable sections from a few of them for an 18"-wide panel at the end of my deck and for the front of the gate I added to access the area under the deck. The rest I cut down to lengths the county garbage/trash collectors would accept and put it out at the street where it was picked up and taken away. I urge anyone buying from Lowe's to go to the physical store, select the lumber yourself, and then if you don't have the ability to get it home yourself let Lowe's deliver it.

This cost us about $300; more and we just wanted a hot shower.

So beware if your item has to be special ordered... it is probably because this is the only way they can screw their customers and hide behind the special order rule.

I called Lowe's on 2/14/17 to get a quote on kitchen countertops, farmhouse sink, and tile backsplash. I got a quote and the employee told me the info would stay in the system for a long time and whenever I was ready to get started just call. We went to Lowe's on 3/18/17 and told them we were ready to get started. They had no idea what we were talking about, the employee did not remember giving me a quote (which she left on my voicemail initially). So we had to set up an appointment to meet with someone to get our order placed.
4/1/17 I met with someone at Lowe's to look at what I wanted and order everything. I ended up finding out that the farmhouse sink really was meant for a granite countertop instead of a laminate because it is mounted under the countertop and can cause water damage to laminate. After a discussion they told me they could set it above the countertop and seal around the sink and it would be fine. I agreed to that. I was also told that the supervisor or the manager of the department would be present anytime the contractors were at our home working to ensure things were done correctly and then they would come after the job was finished to ensure we were happy and everything was correct.
4/13/17 the supervisor and a contractor came to measure for the backsplash and look at the sink. We were told the new sink would have to be installed prior to the countertops being done so that accurate measurements could be taken for the countertops. We would have full use of the sink in meantime. 4/27/17 the new sink was installed. Now remember it could not be mounted UNDER the countertop so it should set ABOVE the countertop. My cabinets were cut out for an under mount, and the contractor did not hook the sink up, told me I could use my dishwasher (which was not hooked up). I contacted Lowe's and they acted like it was my mistake but they could do that if I wanted.
5/1/17 the contractor returned to hook the sink up and raise it up where it should be. I went to check the sink and the old drain was put in, there was no guard for the garbage disposal, it was a big hole! I asked about it and was told that we didn't have the correct drain. I assumed if I had a garbage disposal that is the drain I would get??? Again this was treated like it was my fault, I didn't tell them. I specifically asked if it mattered and if they would hook it up and make sure it all worked because we didn't know how. But the contractor never asked what to do or what I wanted he just put the old one in and left. The sink wasn't tightened, it leaked from everywhere and it was WAY out of level and nowhere near high enough.
I called Lowe's and was told it would be adjusted after the countertops were installed. They acted like I should have known to ask for the guard for the disposal. I don't work at Lowe's!!! Again I assumed that was all one piece. I don't put sinks together?!? 5/16/17 FINALLY the contractor comes to measure for the countertops. He informs me that they will need to take my sink with them because it did NOT need to be installed prior! I told him we would have to figure something else out. Needless to say he did not leave with my sink! He had no idea anything about what we ordered, we chose edges and pattern and he had no idea.
6/15/17 the countertops are installed. The contractor almost did not get them in because of the sink. He said the countertops should have been installed FIRST. Oh and a few days earlier I got a phone call from a random person at Lowe's because the supervisor wanted to "remind" me that there would be no warranty on the countertops because of the sink! TOO LATE NOW! Remind? She never told me to begin with!!! Which I assume is why she had a random person call me instead of calling me herself.
6/22/17 the other contractor comes back to fix the sink and do the backsplash. The backsplash looks amazing - no complaints there. My sink has door trim around it! Yes... door trim. To fix the hole they unnecessarily cut out in the first place! No one asked what we wanted or discussed it with us at all. They just did it. The edge around the sink is uneven because it was not set properly with the countertop. There was nothing put around the outside to prevent water from getting in. It looks awful. :( So now we have to find someone to fix that and the trim that was a quick fix to a mistake. And we have NEVER seen one Lowe's employee the entire time the work was being done as we were told we would. Never. Again. This was the worst experience, and we have to spend even more money to fix the mistakes. The customer service was awful. I will NEVER go to Lowe's for anything ever again and would not recommend them to anyone.

I purchased a dishwasher at Lowe's for $420.00. I found out Home Depot is offering at the same time for $378.00. I called them for a price match. They refused, and that I had to return it and will have to buy it somewhere else. It is a waste of my time.

Briefly, let me say that I am disappointed with Lowe's, or their employees. We spend thousand of dollars a year building decks, sheds, fences, etc., as my hobby is to build things around my houses. We are military and move every couple years and this has been a pattern for 15 plus years and Lowe's has benefitted from my hobby and situation. Recently, I thought I would add a covered area to the deck I am building and I needed more pressure treated wood than my 14 foot trailer could handle. After spending $75 dollars for delivery I received what seems like every picked overboard they couldn't get rid of. I returned at least half of my order, including four 16 foot 6x6 pressure treated post that were quite the strain to lift and fit.
As I expected, the employees were not happy to see my return. The person that finally came out to help, after I removed 16 2x8 boards and three 2x10 twelve foot boards, told me, "I wish you would have kept this for your next project." The cashier told me, "Wow, this is going to hurt." I told her, "Don't worry, I have another 1k in deck boards to bu." I was really surprised that she was bothered about the money returned, over $400, as this was not her money and she showed no empathy for me, the person that spent $75 for a delivery and had to waste my gas and time to return over half of my order do to the crap they delivered to me! I still have a photo of one of the 6x6x16 post they sent to me.
Despite the large knot hole, it looks like the board had a rotted hole in it, nothing you would use for supporting a structure. I blame the employees, not Lowe's, unless they tell their employees to deliver crap and picked over boards. Transaction # ** on 5-30-17 total $738.86. Return receipt transaction ** on 6/19/2017 return $450.29. I would like to add that rarely does anyone ask for my MyLowe's card, so I don't provide it. I don't frequent Home Depot, only because I have know where everything is in Lowe's and I have become comfortable going there, but I DO LIKE the way Home Depot automatically ask me on the credit card machine if I would like a email receipt, which I do! I have occasionally washed my Lowe's receipts and it would be nice to be able to go to my past emails if I need a past receipt.

Lowe's online is the absolute worst customer service company. Do not order anything from them, because you will not get your item, and you will have to wait 27 minutes on hold to speak to a representative, who will not be able to get the item sent. They will promise you a manager will call in 2 days, they will not, and they will ignore emails, if you try that route. I ordered a light on June 9th, promised delivery on the 15th. Today is the 22nd, and it is still not shipped. I can't cancel the order, because it is already processed. Communication from them is nonexistent. Have been on hold again for 18 minutes to try to get someone to cancel order.

HORRIBLE does not begin to describe them. We hired them for kitchen remodel that was to take FOUR days. It took four MONTHS. In the interim they did much damage to our home. They ruined our cabinets, flooded our house, cut corners on materials and worst of all REFUSED TO FIX IT. The salesperson Steve ** and the store mgr. Gary ** are absolute con artists.
After months of complaining NOTHING was resolved. They used UNLICENSED contractors that were shady at best, no regard for our home and HORRIBLE WORK. Beware of John ** in Grapevine. He is their number one contractor. They promised they would "make it right' and all they did was more damage. We contacted BBB and they STILL refused ownership of the shoddy work they did.

I ordered a dishwasher online and it was to be delivered on the 9th of June. I received a call saying the truck broke down and it would be delivered on the 13th of June. It is today the 21st of June and I still do not have my dishwasher. Apparently Lowe's hires out a delivery service that is extremely unreliable and doesn't care about Lowe's reputation or customers. The higher ups at Lowe's are aware of this and continue to do business with the delivery company. This alone makes me never want to shop at Lowe's again but it gets better.

I have made several high dollar purchases from Lowe's but the latest purchase of 7,200 worth of flooring has proven to me that this store should be audited by corporate and shut down. To begin with, the floor was measured incorrectly. I'll skip all the phone calls and visits to the store to get this straight. In April I made my selection and wrote the check. No word from them until I pushed the issue. Was told the flooring had to be ordered. Ok. Still nothing on a time frame. Made another trip to the store where an employee told me my flooring was and had been at the distribution center and did not know why it has't been shipped to the store. Mind you that I talked to so many "store managers" (joke) that did nothing but make promises and turn the problem over to an hourly wage employee that could care less.
May 16th I finally got my floor down. The installer brought in white quarter round and told me he was going to put it down and I had to stain it. No way am I crawling around on the floor trying to stain anything and messing up the flooring and my back. Not for 7,200. I am 68 years old. Today is 6/20 and I still do not have the quarter round and transitions down. Talked to another "store manager" today who did nothing but hand the phone to another hourly employee that told me I would hear something from the installer today. I wasn't very nice but I have had it. I will never buy another thing from Lowe's. Doesn't anyone care anymore?

I have never posted a review before but my experience with Lowe's installation services is sooo awful that I want to warn others away. It is currently June 20, 2017. In March 2017, my husband and I went to Lowe's and ordered carpet. We were told a "detailer" would call us in a couple of days to schedule a detail to assess the size of the rooms before we could even officially "order the carpet". That ball got dropped and no one called. My husband called Lowe's and after waiting on hold finally got someone who said they would follow up. A MONTH later, a detailer came out and gave us our estimate and we paid Lowe's $2000+ dollars on May 6 for all the carpet. PAID. MONEY out of my account. We were told we would hear from the installer in two business days. No call.
AGAIN, my husband called Lowe's and after waiting on hold finally got someone who said they would follow up. At the beginning of June the carpet installer said they didn't have time to install the carpet until June 20. We paid someone to help us move all our furniture and were ready for the carpet to finally get here today (ahead of family visiting next week). NO ONE showed up today. AGAIN, my husband called Lowe's and after waiting on hold finally got someone who said the carpet had been sitting for several weeks and was now too damaged to install. We now have to move all our furniture back, and re move it for next time. The carpet has to be RE-ordered, RE-shipped - and it might come around July 5. From there, the process would start over again.
We likely wouldn't have our carpet installed until August. I spent 34 minutes on hold to speak with a manager at the "CPO" - Lowe's-speak for really bad customer situation. The number is 877-505-4923. The manager admitted that Lowe's has now had our $2000+ since May 6, that we had been trying to get this carpet since March 2017, and now it looks like it will be August 2017 before we get it. They offered no refund, no percentage off, and couldn't even expedite our installation. The "best" she could do is offer to have the installer call me within three business days from now to apologize. BEWARE of Lowe's. They take your money and don't provide carpet.

I bought a NEW Husqvarna lawn mower from Lowe's April 2014. I paid the extra $269.97 extended protection plan. We live in the Northeast, and as everyone knows, we don't cut grass year round. They have already had to replace the original transmission. It's June 2017, and the transmission is going bad again. I called last fall because the transmission was grinding, and when I used the attachment for deck cleaning, afterwards the tractor would not move.
The company Lowe's contracts out to, to do repairs, gave me the number of their mechanic. Instead of coming out to look at the mower, he tried to diagnose the problem over the phone. I couldn't get the mower to duplicate the problem when I talked to him. Within 1 week, it was cold enough to snow and grass cutting was done. When we pulled the mower out to use it this spring, the transmission is doing the same thing. Lowe's will not honor my service contract because it expired. Even though I reported the problem last fall, and the mechanic failed to come out and fix the problem! I am a Marine Corps veteran, and I will never step foot in a Lowe's again, and I will be more than glad to tell anyone and everyone, to go to Home Depot.

On July 5, 2017, I was purchasing a washer and dryer for a condo we own in Panama City Beach, Fla. I checked prices at Home Depot and Lowe's in the PCB area, on Back Beach Road. Home Depot had two units on sale for a good price, but Lowe's had in-store advertising stating they would beat any advertised offers by 10%. When this was brought up to the attention of the sales associate and assistant manager of the appliance department, they refused to honor their advertisement. They stated that this was a discontinued policy. When I showed them several signs in the store with the same advertisement language, they just said they were sorry and again refused to honor. A return visit the next day, still showed the signs in place.
I made a claim with the Better Business Bureau, with pictures of the signs (see attached) and advertising language. This resulted in a call to me from the Lowe's Customer Complaint Department. However, the individual for Lowe's that called (Chase **) just reiterated what the store management had already stated. That although they advertised that they would beat competitors prices by 10%, they would not honor their advertisement.
Since this is false advertising and unlawful by statute, the BBB has advised me to contact the Attorney General for the state of Florida. I am in the process of taking this action, so as to prohibit Lowe's from using this tactic going forward. The amazing thing to me with this is that the amount that Lowe's is responsible for is $96.00. This confirms what most of the other reviews are stating; that customer satisfaction means very little to Lowe's. Proceed with caution when shopping in their facilities and hope you have no issues. Written statements mean nothing there.

Flooring install was poorly executed, Lowe’s did not stand behind guarantee and customer service was nonexistent. Purchased whole house flooring measure, laminate flooring and chose carpet for other rooms to install 6 months later. Laminate improperly installed, 2 attempts made to repair failed, Lowe’s mngr wouldn’t return calls. Gave up. Attempted again due to quality and condition, no return calls. Went to store several times. Finally, over 1 year later, spoke to James who said he would take care of it. No call backs. After several weeks, they sent someone who remeasured and took photos. Their rep reported improper install, poor execution, poor product quality. Lowe’s would not respond.
Called corporate, they said it was over a year and refused to do anything. Claimed I waited too long and the information in their system regarding the number of repair attempts were incorrect. Promised a call back after they spoke to local store managers, no call back. Just silence and refusal to make the problem right. Laminate cut too short, trim improperly cut, laminate swelling and lifting on all edges, transitions improperly set, 1 record of attempt to repair, no record of 2nd repair attempt, no record of repeated attempts to speak to flooring managers in person or by phone. Files purged and loss of measurements. Remeasured for carpet when their rep came to look at floors but failed to provide them.
Desired Resolution: Lowe’s to provide new laminate, trim, transitions and install that was originally done incorrectly, measurements that I paid for, and discounted carpet with free install for the hassle, delays, time spent trying to get Lowe’s to stand behind their product OR for Lowe’s to provide measurements and full refund for products and install so we can purchase elsewhere.

When it came back and time to pick up my riding lawn mower there was a invoice for $255.90 plus tax with a statement from the text on what he repaired. I asked Lowe's why the charge. They told me that the tech. had made notes saying that the damage was due to unintentional physical damage.
I was, "Can you show me on my invoice where the tech had said that was the cause?" They said, "It does not say that because you don't get the tech notes." I said to Lowe's manager, "Do you have a copy of the tech's notes?" He says, "No but I can call for them." And I also, "How did the tech come up with unintentional physical damage?" He said, "You have to ask the tech." I would but the tech works for Lowe's. And I have no contact number. He tells me when he gets the notes he will show me them.

I said, "So if you buy a riding lawn mower go to start it and it's unintentional physical damage." He says, "I don't know. Are you going to pay?" he asked. I said, "No." He said, "Fine, I will send your mower back to the tech. Tell him the customer refused to pay so he owns your mower." "No, I own my mower," I paid for it and have the receipt. I said, "It's a civil matter." He said, "Now you're threatening me so you need to get out of my store. This conversation is over. Here's the number to Lowe's legal department. Deal with them."
Called the legal department and still waiting for a call back. I'm out my riding lawn mower and Lowe's takes in 50 Billion dollars every year and they can't own up to my riding mower repairs.

I originally was relatively pleased with the sales associate in the Bellingham, WA Lowe's flooring department. I found a tile I liked and the 1200 square foot tile order was placed and paid in full. The associate confirmed the need to order the flooring from the same lot number to assure the consistency of the tile color. Several weeks passed and I had yet heard any word of the availability of the order.
I called on the Bellingham Lowes store on 06/08/17 to inquire about the arrival of the tile I had ordered. The service staff stated the tile had arrived in the store on 06/02/17 and I would need to pick up the order immediately or the order would have to be sent back. I informed the service staff that I was unaware the order had arrived since I was calling to see if the order had arrived. The staff member stated it appeared the order had not been placed for an individual order, appeared to have been placed as a stock order. The staff member stated the order would be pulled out of stock to pick up.
On 06/10/17 my husband hooked onto our trailer and we drove into town. The staff at the "order pick up" counter had no record of the tile order. I asked if the sales associate who had placed the order was available and was informed he was working in appliance. My husband and I had a few more purchases we needed to make and headed back to the flooring department. The sales associate that we had originally placed the order was in the flooring department. He stated he had looked for the tile which should have been 3 palettes of flooring was nowhere to be found and he did not think his original order had arrived but possibly a floor stock order had been received. He spoke with a manager and stated to offset our inconvenience the store would deliver the tile for free.
On 06/13/17 I received a call from a Lowe's staff member who stated the tile had been in the store all along, "a blind person would have been able to locate the tile." I made arrangements to have the tile delivered the following day after 4:00 PM. I informed the Lowe's staff member I needed to confirm the delivery time with my husband but to place the delivery on the schedule and I would call back to confirm the time. At 7:00 PM I called back to the Lowe's store to confirm the delivery and was informed there was no record of a scheduled delivery for my tile.
On 06/13/17 at 8:21 AM I received a call to schedule the delivery, arrangements were made to deliver the tile on 06/17/17 between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. At 10:50 AM on 06/17/17, I called to confirm the delivery, and yet again the staff at Lowe's was unable to confirm a scheduled delivery. The service desk staff stated the delivery staff failed to forward the delivery schedule. I called back at 12:02 PM and the service desk stated was unable to get in touch with the delivery drivers to confirm a tile delivery. I did not receive a return call, at 12:44 PM I called again, the service desk staff stated was unable to get in touch with one of the drivers but the over driver did not have a tile delivery.
At 12:56 PM I called Lowe's back and requested to speak with a manager. I was placed on hold for an extended amount of time and finally a midlevel manager picked up the line only to have the call disconnected with no return call. I finally called the 800-445-6937 Lowe's complaint number.

Purchased a vinyl plank flooring. Installed Feb 2017. Ripped out June 2017, along with moldy drywall and molding. We have a Lowe's installed GeoSpring Hybrid Heat Pump. Like AC, water is expelled through a condensate hose into a drain. The Lowe's installer installed the floor planks over the part of the drain needed for the condensate. The condensate water drained on the floor, went under the baseboard, into the drywall, and through the kitchen floor. We called our insurance company. They sent a restoration company that immediately ripped the floor out, sealed the room due to the black mold issue, and the next day sprayed and removed a portion of drywall, and molding.
We informed Lowe's immediately upon discovering the issue, expecting them to come down immediately. Never happened. An open condensate drain is required by code. In this case, a floor installer violated a plumbing code. Insurance companies require seepage reported within 14 days. No exception for concealed damage. I can understand that, since seepage damage claims can be abused. At least they did get a restoration company down immediately to rip up the floor and remove the black mold. Lowe's offered no remedy. We babysit our four month old grandson, informed Lowe's that an infant and black mold are not a good combination. No one came down. It is a good insurance company. No complaints there.
Since neither Lowe's nor the flooring subcontractor reacted promptly, I'll probably go to small claims court, unless we decide our health has been compromised. I took excellent photos of the blockage, the damage, the black mold. Sent them to Lowe's. Before retirement, I was an expert witness for both the Defense Department and Department of Justice. Part of my job, I am documenting everything. We will see what happens.

Well after reading all of the complaints and couldn't resist writing my own. I was in the construction industry for 45 years and never had to deal with anyone during those years as dumb as the people working at the Lowe's Store in Cookeville, Tn. I have purchased thousands of dollars of merchandise from Lowe's in general but the last purchase really took the cake. I measured our rough out dimensions of the two French Doors that my wife wanted installed in our home. I went to the Mill Work department at this store and a woman helped with our order. I told her exactly what we wanted and explained in detail that the dimensions I was giving her were the "rough out" dimensions for these doors. She smiled and copied the dimensions down on an order sheet and gave me the bill. Before completing the transaction, I told her that I wanted to add a 20'-0" extension ladder to the order and that I wanted all of the items delivered to my home.
Now this is another kicker. According to Lowes, any order over $499 is delivered for free. Well apparently that does not apply to an order of over $1,100.00 as they stuck me with a delivery fee on the ladder (which was on the same order and on the same truck as the doors). Around two weeks later we got a call stating that they had a delivery for us and let us know when it would arrive. We took delivery and I didn't pay any attention to the doors but only had one of them set inside of the house and the other in the garage. I hired a contractor to come out and install these doors only to find out that BOTH of them were incorrect. The door that was to be 72 x 80 came out 74 x 82. The door that was to be 48 x 80 came out 50 x 80. We were able to install the 4'-0" but the installation was more as they had to do more work to make this incorrect door fit into the opening.
I called Lowe's and, of course, the first thing out of the mouths was that I gave them the wrong dimensions. That caused my blood pressure to rise a little and I told them, in no certain terms, that they were out of their collective minds. Long story short, they agreed to pick up the door and to find the correct one. They told me that I would have to pay for the new door and that they would credit me for the one that they picked up.
Luke called me and told me that they had found the correct door and that the total charge would be $948 and change. This is $400 more than the door they picked up and he wanted to connect me with their service department so that I could pay for it which would allow him to order it. He also told me that they had credited my bank for the cost of the door that they picked up. As I waited on the phone for someone to pick up, I checked my bank account and there was no credit shown on my account. I hung up the phone after a few minutes as I had no intention of purchasing another door at twice the price of the first one when they had NOT credited my account for the first door.
A few days later my wife received a call from Lowe's (Pam) asking that I return their call. I waited a couple of days and finally called and spoke to Luke. He went through his banter about not being able to order the door until it was paid for. I told him that I wasn't about to pay for another door when they had not credited my bank for the incorrect door. He transferred me to the Service Department.
Natasha came online and was rude and told me the situation. She said that since I paid for the incorrect door with a Visa debit card that it would take longer to see that credit from my bank. I said that I understood that however Luke had told me that the credit had gone through a few days prior. She went on with her dissertation to where I finally stopped her and asked to talk to the store manager. She replied that she was the manager and I told her that she was not as I had talked to the Store Manager (Tom) a few days prior. She demanded that she was the manager and I told her not to get caught up in titles and to have Tom return my call.
A few minutes later she called back and apologized for the misunderstanding as she was the Head Cashier and could take care of any issues like mine. I told her that I didn't want to deal with Head Cashiers and to have the Store Manager return my call. She got up on her "High Horse" and once again stated that SHE was the manager and I simply told her to have a nice day and to leave the Store Manager a note to call me. I am sure that it will take some time to sort this out but as I told Luke, it is beginning to become comical and all of this simply pushes me to Home Depot. Film at 11:00.

The reason for this review is poor quality work done by a Lowe's subcontractor. We started out ordering new cabinets and laminate counter tops. This being a 1960's home and where we have retired. Sounds simple! Nothing fancy just an upgrade. Well to begin with cabinets were to be in stock as it turns out they had to be ordered. Just a few days and they would be in. Well the day they were to be in and we had set up the time with installer we were told that cabinets didn't make it on the truck! No one could tell us why. So we wait two more days. Total of a week for something that was in stock.
Well the subcontractor for the cabinets was just wonderful. Very knowledgeable and a true craftsman. Had his own cabinet company. His work was impeccable and when two cabinets came in damaged he took it upon himself to go back to Lowe's to make it right. During this time which has now been 2 weeks we were told we could not order counter tops and pay for until subcontractor for the counter tops came and did his own measurements. Ok we want this correct. Finally we get a call from subcontractor giving us a time when he can come and measure. However, he tells us it will 3-5 weeks before counter tops will be in. As it turned out it was only another 2 weeks.
Set up install time. First countertop goes in with no problem. We don't run into any trouble until the one with the sink cut out goes in. Have the master plumber come to install sink. He has done this many times. Well because of the way sink is cut the plumber cannot attach the clips that hold sink in place in the front. We have caulk holding our sink in place. Contacted Lowe's. Received a call back saying a work order had been placed with their installer (being the subcontractor) to check the problem out. Believe it or not the counter top guy being the subcontractor for Lowe's denied the request! Who does that! We really just want to know if there is something that our plumber is unaware of and if the contractor can show him or if in fact the subcontractor made an error. We were told by Lowe's that he had being doing this for 16 yrs. Big whoop! So has our plumber and he has nothing to gain by not installing it correctly. Can't be done. Something is not right.
Why would a contractor of any kind not want to stand behind him workmanship. We all make mistakes and we know these were not granite or marble but what if they had been? We spent over $5000.00 at Lowe's for this renovation which is never going to be correct. Well Lowe's you can take our business and consider us a lost account. Maybe you can find a subcontractor to help resolve it in the right way instead of leave us to solve his mistake. It is truly is sad commentary when a majority of your staff that helped us were well informed, courteous and seemed to care - and a subcontractor results in you losing our future business. Shame on you for just not caring!

I would go to my condo on the weekends as I still had my apartment until April 2017.
One weekend early in April I noticed my refrigerator has lost the cooling, two days it was back to normal. I called Lowe's Advantage to place a service call on my new refrigerator. It was still under the manufacturer warranty and I had also purchased an extended warranty. A&E came out and it was working. I told them it seemed to be an intermittent problem. Two days later it wasn't cooling again. I called Lowe's Advantage and they placed another service call. It was working when they came out. The technician said that the refrigerator was unable to be fixed and recommended to Samsung for refund or replacement. That was in April, it is now the middle of June.
The Lowe's in California, Maryland doesn't really seemed to care and every month tells me it will be in the following month but it never comes in. The delivery company XPO called me last night and told me they were delivering today. I took 3 hours off work only to find out that Lowe's called XPO and cancelled my delivery. When I called the store to find out why a customer service employee said the refrigerator didn't come in. I am so confused and at my wits end. I really feel like calling Lowe's and telling them to take back all the appliances I purchased from them. I called the Corporate office and they are courteous and tell me they will escalate this to the corporate managers. We will see. Has anyone had a similar experience with Lowe's? Any advice would be appreciated.

I had a Lowe's representative give an estimate to remove an existing rotted deck and install a new deck. Kevin from Lowe's and the contractor who would be building my deck came together. The first red flag was the contractor building my deck could barely get out of his truck and walked like Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett show. No joke! The first thing I said to both of them is "this guy can't walk and he is going to build my deck?" I went over every detail with both men on how I wanted MY deck done MY way. A couple of modifications compared to what the original deck was, for example, I specifically asked for wider steps and wider railings than what was originally there. I even showed them my neighbor's deck and used his deck as an example of how I want MY deck done. In one ear and out the other. The estimate was $15,222, I agreed and signed paperwork. 15x20 second floor deck. I asked for a detailed material list with price.
A month later I still don't have it after countless times of asking or leaving emails. Kevin (Lowe's) said "Licensed contractors only". "No day laborers" he said. Well that's a lie. The first day of demo and tossing wood onto plants and bushes I had to go outside and tell the day laborers that the bushes and flower beds I am keeping and to not step or put wood on them. "Oh you're keeping this" a worker asked, "well what would make you think that I'm not." Just plain stupid from there on out. 3 days Kevin said it would take to do the deck, going on 10 days now. The 2 day laborers on the second day started framing. I immediately called Kevin and asked "where is the contractor?" These guys didn't know what they were doing. 2 days of framing with 2x10s and they were all on the wrong side of the line and crooked as hell. I told Kevin I don't want these guys working unsupervised because whatever they touched was wrong.
Another 2 days to correct their work. No communication from Kevin to the contractor which led to a bunch of mistakes. The railing coming down the stairs I asked to be 42" wide, what I got was 42" steps and with the railing on it is 30"... stupid again. The brick patio beneath the deck is in good shape, but when they removed some bricks to dig for the footings and then put them back all crooked with 1" spaces between the bricks. The brick patio is tight, straight and level, but not where they put back. Even breaking the bricks set in concrete on the outer border, they put it back broken! Stupid again. Finally the contractor starts showing up and working by himself after my complaints about the 2 day laborers' horrible work. Now I have a mason coming to fix the patio.
Lowe's has to take the steps down and make the platform bigger up top to make a 42" opening between rails. Also the rails going down the stairs are extremely loose and going into the top or bottom rail but using a cheap plastic clips to hold the spindles. Once again I had to stop the contractor from completing the rails down the stairs telling him that "this is unacceptable " and that I have kids and if they grab a spindle walking up or down the stairs it comes off with ease. Major concern about this. Very unprofessional work for the price I paid, which I did not sign off on to accept the work that is done.
After complaining about the brick the contractor Albert says to me "I'm not redoing your brick patio." "I only want you to fix where you removed and replaced them" I said. He said "Get the ** out of here, I'm not fixing the brick." "Me to get the ** out of my own yard," I said. I told him how stupid he is as he trips over his own 2 feet and to get off my property and never come back. The deck is still incomplete, bricks are all crooked, and to top it all off, the day laborers bring a microwave with them and pop a breaker every day, even after I told Kevin from Lowe's that if I wasn't home and they pop the breaker how would they work the rest of the day.
Major lack of communication between salesman, contractor and workers. This isn't 7-11 to cook your breakfast and lunch. Beyond dumbfounded. $15,000 deck + cheap labor = a deck built wrong! Very pissed off and now am in touch with corporate to straighten all of this out. Such an inconvenience by the big name store. The contractor who originally was going to build my deck subbed it out to another contractor who in turn subbed it out to another contractor who in turn subbed it out to another. WTF!!!

I just spent over an hour trying to pick up a special order. This is the second time I have been to the Northfield Lowe's and been treated this way. I first had a person who just wanted me gone because she wanted to go home. So rather than checking to see if she had the whole order she just checked me out and left. I was concerned about the condition of the box so I opened it to check it and found I didn't have the whole order. The order had been broken down into three separate orders. When I asked about the rest of the order, someone did check and yes the additional part of the order was there. It took 40 minutes to get someone to bring the order up front. When I complained one cashier said "If they don't have someone to get the product you have to wait". I will probably not shop at Lowe's again fire to failed attempts. I also never received a copy of the receipt when I checked out and the notification had a blank sheet it just said "Your order is ready for pickup".

We called Lowe's to get an estimate for the purchase and installation of high impact windows. A salesman gave us a very good presentation and a exact price for the job. In the contract it was very clear that windows openings would be brought up to code specifications included in the cost. 4 windows. Approximately 8 weeks later they arrived, the windows and 3 installers. They removed one window breaking it in the process, and installed a new window and secured it with a couple of screws and said the window frame was not up to code. They left. I contacted Lowe's and was told a licensed contractor would be out to assess the problem. After two days two men showed up and after a 30 second inspection said that the wall above the window would have to be brought up to code.
I went back to Lowe's and told them what their contractor had told me. I asked him who was going to pay for this work to bring it up to code. He replied that I was to pay for it, completely ignoring the contract that said "the price of the installation included the window frame upgrade." I had a building inspector inspect the window frame and he confirmed that the window would have to be updated to meet the newer code. Lowe's took the other two windows back to the store. Here we wait, two senior citizens with one partially installed window in a space that is not to code, two windows hopefully in the store, the hurricane season upon us, and no one wants to listen to our complaints. Lowe's is probably the worst large name business that I have ever dealt with.

Victor took my payment over the phone for the cost of coming out to measure the rooms. Victor never said anything about a mileage fee for the trip out. Got a call on 6/2 from the measurer who was scheduled to come out on 6/5. He came out and did his part. My husband was told the measurements would be sent to Lowe's & we'd get a call w/ quote.
On 6/7 I called to check on the status and was transferred to someone in installation setup. I was told by this person the quote had been received but the order was on hold because the mileage fee for the measurer hadn't been paid. I told the rep I wasn't told a fee was required for that. Victor told me mileage would have to be paid when the installer comes out. Again, he never charged me on the phone for anything other than for measurements. I was told he should have. I was also told by the rep she would pass the issue on to her supervisor and I would get a call. I haven't received a call yet. I will never do business with Lowe's ever again.

We contracted for hardwood floors and vinyl floors. Spent $16,000. Meanwhile my husband was going through cancer treatment. We were at Duke a month. Delivery made of vinyl and hardwood. Installers showed up. Floor paper wasn't delivered, so they had to go to get it. Then informed us that they just do hardwood and had no idea that vinyl was to be installed too. They started after 10:30 and were there until 9:45 pm.
Vinyl had to be rescheduled 2 weeks later right after I had surgery myself. So the vinyl guy shows up at 9. By 11 he still hadn't done one thing. He had decided that he couldn't do anything without help with the furniture. As if he didn't know that if you were installing vinyl in the kitchen and laundry room, that there wouldn't be a table, refrigerator, washer, dryer. Then some warehouse guy showed up to help. Next thing my husband and I know, they were both gone. Lowe's or Legacy installation felt that a $50 gift card was compensation for their breach of contract.

Paid $1600 to have 2 rooms carpeted. Waited a little over 2 weeks before we were given an installation date. About a week before install we felt depressions in the carpet, so we lifted up the carpet to discover cracks in the subfloor. We took pictures of the cracks and brought samples of the gravel to Lowe's to find out who we could repair. The "floor specialist" I spoke to looked at the pictures and gravel I brought in and said not to worry about repairing ourselves. We were assured that the carpet installers fix subfloor as part of their prep work and any repairs could result in additional charges but would be handled for us.
Fast forward to installation date: the carpet installer says they do not do repairs and can't install our carpet until the subfloor is fixed. We call Lowe's and they offer no resolution. They merely say this is a "training opportunity" for their reps and recommend we fix the floor prior to installation. Waste of time and money. Never again.

Absolutely disappointed with delivery services from UPS. We ordered a dining table with 4 chairs. It was supposed to come on Monday, got an email delayed until Tues. then delayed for Wed. The 4 chairs and the base arrived on Tues., the table top is missing. Why couldn't the whole table come together? I don't understand. It was not delivered on Wed. When I called Lowe's they said call UPS. Uhm? Excuse me it shouldn't be my problem to call UPS. So she was helpful and called them, they gave the EXCUSE that the package had to be repacked as the packaging wasn't really good so it's delayed AGAIN until Thurs. The package came all the way from USA. IT WAS FINE, when it reached the local UPS warehouse it wasn't safe to put it in the truck and deliver it? This was the first and last time I'm ever ordering anything from Lowe's not because it's their fault but because they are using UPS.

I'm not one to write negative reviews but the Lowe's store in Granbury, TX carries a dimly lit candle compared to other Lowe's stores where I have lived. They are not Customer Concentric in my estimation. We have an issue with a major purchase from a Lowe's vendor and though they are acting as a go between, it is in a very wimpy way. They are not holding the Vendors feet to the fire to get the issue resolved. In the meantime the air we breathe in the Master BR has been severely compromised and no one at Lowe's or the vendor seem to care. I guess the next step is to have a lawyer haul them into court and explain their lackadaisical attitude along with their vendor. If this was the store in Lufkin, TX we wouldn't be here writing this. That store is amazing and the whole crew there deserves recognition from the GM on down.

Went to the store twice. Left my phone number. She never gave me the courtesy to even call me back. The third day I called. I ask customer service for corporate phone number. Before I can call corporate, half an hour later someone from Corporate calls me, which I thought was strange that they would be calling me after I've been trying to talk to this manager for 2 days. The representative from the corporate office offered me $100 discount and I told her for all the inconvenience I've been through, couldn't put my house back together, couldn't have my Easter dinner, waiting 6 weeks to have carpet put down and to offer me $100 it was like a smack in the face.
At the time I was having work done in my house. I told her I will call her back. By the time I finish the project that we were doing in my home I just decided not to call her. If she was going to give me a discount she have all the information she needed to put the credit on my account. She never did. I've been spending a lot of money at Lowe's.

I ordered and paid for the carpet over a month ago. We kept getting the run around about the install date from Lowe's and Legacy, the installation company. Finally we got a date, 5/30/17 between 1-3 pm from Legacy. We are moving from Greensboro and scheduled the movers to arrive on 6/1/17 with our household based on the fact that our carpet would be installed on 5/30/17. I took the day off from work. We got a call from the installer stating that their morning appointment cancelled and would it be okay to come early, we said sure, this was around 9:45 am. At 10:45 am I called Legacy to get a update. They said the installer has the carpet and is on the way. At 3pm I called Legacy to be informed that they could not locate the carpet and will have to reschedule.
I called Lowe's corporate and had a three way call with the representative from Legacy as well, concerned that the carpet would not be installed as agreed. The rep from Lowe's stated that the carpet was delivered to a warehouse in Fayetteville, NC. The Legacy rep said they can't find the carpet and that I should reschedule. The Lowe's rep stated that I should pick out another carpet and schedule another install date or wait until the carpet is found and set up another date as the carpet wouldn't be installed in the time frame that I needed.
I asked for a supervisor to get a solution to my issue and to get accountability because of what I went through. She said she was sorry for my inconvenience and that I should reschedule. As of 4:45 pm on 5/30/17 I have no carpet installed in my house and no reschedule date as the carpet is still missing. I guess I'm at fault for scheduling everything around the dates I was given by Lowe's and Legacy. Not one person has offered to make this right.

This company no longer cares about good service. I spent over 5K at the Wake Forest, NC store. Every appliance I bought was damaged or the installation was so bad my home was left damaged. The worst was the dishwasher install. They use a 3rd party plumber named R&R plumbing. Unbeknownst to us, they installed our dishwasher using a piece of bowed plywood to wedge the unit in the cabinet rather than spending the time to figure out how to properly install it. Worst yet, they informed us that we needed a cabinet maker to fix it properly or the installer could come back on his own time and charge us to finish the work needed.
We were confused by the experience so I got a second opinion and in doing so found out that the Lowe's installer used a sloppy method to wedge the unit in and cracked my granite in the process. I even put the second opinion plumbing company on the phone with the Lowe's delivery manager at the time so he could explain his findings. He told them that he felt confident that the bowed piece of wood the Lowe's installer used to wedge the machine in place cracked the granite. My plumber was able to install the dishwasher properly using the existing cabinetry/supports area available. Lowe's refused to pay to replace the granite even after speaking with a 30 year expert. The only offer was to reseal my granite. With an 8" crack, this was unacceptable to me. My second opinion installer is willing to give a statement if I want to pursue this since an estimate shows that replacement of the slab will cost me over $4000.
Even with all of this, their corporate customer service refused to make $1 in compensation. Now I have to consider suing them in small claims court if I want to fix my granite. Just a horrible company to deal with. One thing is for sure, I will never spend another dime in this store. It's not worth going through this to fix their work and have a damaged home. Buyer Beware!

I got back in line for customer service again, told them about the lifetime warranty, and asked for an exchange. They brought over a manager who looked at the product, and simply dismissed my request. She was obviously bothered that I was asking for an exchange. I had the credit card used for the purchase.

Went out on the porch as I saw the truck pull up. Driver named Mike never even acknowledged me in any way, shape or form. Nor did he even ask me where I wanted the pallet of gravel. This is not the first time we had issues with Lowe's with nothing EVER improves & apparently they do not care! When he came to the door for me to sign paperwork, he was very rude. NOT GOOD FOR LOWE'S!

Installed this year in March. We moved in 3 days later, and by the 2nd week of April the flooring has huge tented buckling up that we can't walk on in a main hall, and various 'water damage' spots from a damp mop swifter. The Lowe's installation company took 4 weeks to come back and look at the damage. They took pictures and blamed us for the 'water damage', but the installer for the buckling. We were informed that a single drop of water can cause severe damage to the floor, so only dry mopping is acceptable. This damage occurs within 5 minutes, so it will bubble up while still mopping if damp mopping. The Pergo Max laminate flooring was supposed to be great for kids and pets. The manufacturer misrepresented the product with this statement, and goes even further by placing a picture of a dog on the box. This is a case of false advertising! We don't have pets, but I do have older children.
My own human toenails have scratched the flooring while walking barefoot in my home. So I have to wear socks at all times. No food or drink is allowed outside of the kitchen linoleum flooring. So, the damp mop is the only possibility for the 'water damage'. The installation company would have blamed a pet if we had one. In conclusion, even with the Pergo Gold underlay the Pergo Max flooring is not water resistant or child and pet friendly as advertised, nor scratch resistant as advertised.

Along with my eldest son, I have been looking for flooring (laminate), for both my son's home as well as my own. I live in the Cambridge/Kitchener area and have visited all the big box stores in my area in my search. In all stores (HD, RONA, Home Hardware) with the exception of Lowe's, the stores allow patrons to sign out a full sheet of flooring rather than those itty bitty samples you pay for.
When I asked the flooring rep at Lowe's to sign out a sample, he advised, in a not so polite kind of way, "we don't do that". When I advised every other store in the area does, he replied "well not here". I'm not so concerned about the impoliteness of the comment as much as I am about Lowe's policy that does not allow customers to sign out a reasonably sized sample. In any event, I certainly do not intend to purchase flooring from Lowe's, and in fact do not intend to shop there again as I do not like the overall experience of being in the store, very cold, very clinical, not very friendly staff. Hope this feedback helps.

I ordered a new refrigerator from Lowe's which I was hesitant about to begin with since my experience with this store had not been great in the past but where we live the choices are very limited. I was told that the model I wanted was not carried in the store and would be sent from a Wyoming store and it would take about 2 weeks. I was ok with that. On the Saturday we had it scheduled for delivery I never received a phone call and I had been told the appliance would be delivered between 8 and noon. At 10:30 I called Lowe's and was told after much waiting on hold that the appliance had never been ordered and I could either come to the store and choose something else or just wait for the appliance to come from the Wyoming store. One time the person apologized and that was it. They did not care that I had been waiting all morning. I told them to order the new one. This was a whole other issue.
Now the appliance is in the Glenwood Springs store but I did not receive a call saying it was going to be delivered. I had to call to check status. They told me it would be delivered on a Friday. When I asked what time they said they didn't have any idea. Someone would call me. I had a call the night before delivery from someone at the store saying they just wanted to make sure we were on the same page? Seriously. Never apologized and was not overly concerned they had screwed up. I am quite appalled by the lack of customer service.
I was notified today that my appliance would be delivered sometime between 1 and 3. I had already waited the day it was supposed to be delivered. Now they want me to wait again. And besides you would think since this was entirely their mistake they would be trying to get my appliance delivered as early as possible and go out of their way to accommodate me. This is the last time I will buy an appliance from Lowe's. The customer service is absolutely the worst. I would rather drive 90 minutes to another town and actually pay for delivery. Lowe's had lost my business and hopefully others I know. Very poor business practices.

I told her the ceilings weren't too high, but she insisted they would have to do it that way and it would take 2 visits. I told them "no" because I was in a hurry for installation since it had taken so long to hear from them. Then I received a call from another local Lowe's the next day with a message to call back and ask for a certain person.
I called back today and was told that that person worked in plumbing and they had no idea why his name was left. Then they said I would have to come back to the store and fill out paperwork if I wanted an install. I called the corp office and they connected me again to the store and this time I was told they couldn't install the fan without proof of purchase, which unfortunately I had lost. I finally gave up! No way will I ever purchase or recommend Lowe's again! Why put up a big sign that says "ceiling fans installed for $100" and then not back it up. Why tell someone they have to go back to the store to set up installation when the person was at the store and asked 3 employees and no one knew? Totally unprofessional!!!

Lowes Chesterfield, VA - I have been screamed at by Gayle and her manager Al. She screamed over me while I tried to explain to her that the delivery company did not get my appliances from the store because they did not write it on the ticket. It was Lowe’s mistake and I was blamed! No rectification, nothing. I was screamed at, left on hold for 40 mins (screenshot below) while Gayle pretended to look for the manager but, once Al came onto the phone he told me that he was standing there the whole time. So I guess it is funny to them to leave an upset customer on the hold for 40+ mins. Not once did they apologize or take responsibility for not putting my appliances on the truck.
Al (the manager) hung up on me twice (which I have a voice recording of) because I wanted my appliances delivered the next day, and he tried his best to have XPO not deliver them.

I called that morning to confirm time and that they will call, which was told no problem & they will call 1 hr before. Later that day by someone nearby that they were at the delivery site 1.5 hrs early and they never called ahead, I called delivery company (XPO) back I asked them to wait while I drive there, which I was told they will wait until I get there. I arrived to find they were not there, so I called XPO back and they seemed surprised the truck was not there so they texted the drivers to return, which they never did.
Everytime they said someone will do something like come back, call, or investigate, and so on it never happened. They dropped off the appliance, damaged property, and just a random person signed off on my delivery. Management appears to have no control with the Drivers or they just don't care about the customers tell them anything to get them off the phone which now I have damaged property, bad installation, and an appliance that was making a lot of noise. Overall just don't order appliances from LOWE'S since they washed their hands off deliveries and hired a third party company (XPO) that does not care about service.

I drove from Azle to Ft Worth to purchase approximately 10-15 bags of sand for my driveway. First of all, I asked an employee in the garden department where the sand was located. I was told that in was in the furthest aisle of the store. I walked all the way down there and found the 50 lb bags of sand. I'm a 65 year old female and I needed help to pick up the bags. I pushed the help button and waited about 5 min for a response. A male employee at the back of the store yelled across the store, "What do you need?" I said I need help to load some sand. He told me that it was outside in front of the store. The sand was right in front of me. I reluctantly went outside, thinking someone would load it for me. Well, not the case!
The sand that I needed wasn't out there. I went back into the store where I saw two male employees flirting with the girl at the farthest register. I asked if they would help me load some sand. He, the blonde male said the sand was outside. I told him that wasn't the sand I needed. He said that I would have to wait and he would have to find someone to load it! I was so frustrated by this time, that I just threw my hands up and said "forget it, I'll just go to Home Depot!" I'm not proud of my reaction, because I made the statement, "What a bunch of lazy **" I walked out of that store and I don't plan to ever go back.

I purchased new kitchen cabinets (plus paid to have them installed) in September. The problems started immediately. I was not even informed that my cabinets were in. After waiting for weeks and weeks I finally had to track them down.
The installer came out to install them. He neglected to nail molding down, attach back panel but most importantly he installed cabinet doors that were scraped, scratched and had rough places on them. I complained to Lowe's... over and over. Finally they sent the installer back out. I asked him why he installed cabinets in that condition. He said that is the way they came.
It is now May... I am still dealing with replacement doors. The last panels have been wrong 5 times and the panels currently installed do not match my cabinet! They are unable to match my existing cabinets which causes my WARRANTY to be WORTHLESS. I also have more filler on one side of my sink... 3" on one side, no filler on the other.

3 weeks ago, I placed a commercial order for fencing materials with my local Lowe's store in Shallotte, NC, and paid for it prior to leaving the store. Then, a week later, I realized I had missed some materials and ordered them online and requested that these materials be shipped to my local store in Shallotte. Fast forward to today, when I received an email advising me that my second order had been shipped to N. Charlotte Lowe's (wrong city, 200+miles away from my local store). I called "corporate customer care" to see if we could straighten this out, and they advised me that they could fix it, but my materials wouldn't be in Shallotte until May 24 (today is May 10), but they offered plenty of excuses and apologies for their screw-up (I give them credit... they owned up to it), but ZERO solutions to help me meet my customer's needs.
So I calmly and sincerely asked "so you're telling me that because you guys screwed up my order, I have to wait ANOTHER 2 weeks?", to which the corporate customer care supervisor replied, "I hate the way that sounds, but unfortunately, yes". At this point, I ordered them to cancel my order immediately, and to save the apologies. Then, I called my local store to inquire about my first order, which should've been here a week ago. The manager advised that he searched the system, and my order wasn't in there, so apparently they forgot to order it AFTER I PAID FOR IT. BUYER BEWARE. If your customers depend on you, please do not depend on Lowe's. Their "customer care" doesn't care, and can only offer excuses and apologies instead of actual solutions.
Also, it should be noted that this complaint is based on my experience with "special order" items from Lowe's, and not in-store items. My local store is adequate for in-store purchases, and they normally have their act together with regards to in-store items. However, I will be taking 100% of my business elsewhere, as I prefer to do business with someone who actually values my business, and doesn't work only for their stockholders.

I should have listened to these reviews as my experience was a complete nightmare with Lowe's flooring. The main problem was that they sub-contracted it out and that contractor subbed it out to another who was a complete moron. Even I could have laid flooring better and he brought along others including his girlfriend to not only lay the floor but she cut the wood planks and cut some wrong at MY cost. People that came into our home via the sub contracted sub were not covered by Lowe's liability if they are not "Employees" of the contractor. Thank goodness no one got hurt or it would have been on us the home owner.
From day one the sub contractor was clearly an idiot and the end result was a floor of expensive wood laid incorrectly. It took us three months going back and forth with Lowe's to get it fixed. On top of that the sub contractor was taking the leftover wood and supplies (Cement, etc...) home with him. When I realized I said "hold on... I paid for that wood... Please put in the garage." But in prior days he took many boards and we did not realize it. What scammers... They probably laid a small floor in their own house with my products that I paid for. I could go on and on so that being said... Listen to others and use a local small flooring company with actual employees who are insured and experienced in laying floors. Good luck!

I understand things go wrong, and had one or two issues happened I would have let it go. I purchased my first brand new home in March. I went to the Bossier City Lowe's on 4/1 to order blinds for all the windows. There was no one working in the blind dept, but a man from another dept said he could help me. I said I needed to have someone come out and measure my windows and then order blinds. He offered to cut them "right now" to which I explained again I needed accurate measurements. He then led me to the front of the store to a small office where I was asked how many blinds and contact info. This, I later found out to be the "detail ticket" ordered the measurement. I asked do I need to pay anything now, and was told "no, just wait on the installer to call you."
The next day I get a call from the "detail" lady and was told I needed to pay for the detail 1st, so back to Lowe's I go. This was during the special offer financing for the 12/18/24 months depending on amount financed. I asked her will I still get this because it ended the next day. I was told yes, as long as the detail is written, I will get the promotion. She even wrote it on my yellow folder. Now, within a few days, the installer called and asked me when I was available. When I told him I work M-F till 4 he informed me I had a "complicated schedule" and that he only works till 4 on M-F, so I had to leave work early to have my windows measured.
Now, the fun part trying to order blinds. I already knew what I wanted and was told by Jennifer in blinds at the Bossier store I had to come in and "look at the books". I was also told that she only worked until 2 and that I would have to leave work again early. So, I went to Lowe's the following morning at 830 and was told Jennifer didn't come until 10 AM. I explained I was going into work late because she had told me she would be there. This guy was a nice guy, Cody, who worked in flooring and was PRN. He tried to help me and we eventually got a ticket written for the blinds and 2 custom shades. He said he would call me in 45 minutes or so with an estimate. 4 hours later I still hadn't heard from him and called and spoke with a Jeffery after 10 or so minutes on hold and he was able to give me my total and told me I needed to come back in and sign a contract. So, here I go once again back to Lowe's to sign a contract.
When I arrived Jeffrey had my contract up at customer service. So, I signed and was then ready to pay for my blinds. When they rang it all up, the cashier asked did I want the 5% or the 6 months financing and I said I was told by the detail dept that I would still be eligible for the promotion and she responded with "well, it's not giving me that, so do you want the 6 months or what?" At this point I asked to speak with the manager. A man calling himself the manager came up and when I started to tell him my story, he put up his hand and said "mam, just tell me what you want." I said I wanted the promotional offer, he eventually told the cashier to ring me up with a promotional code sticker.
At that point I paid with my Lowe's credit card and thought "I am so glad that is over, my blood pressure is up". So, fast forward 10 days or so and there my blinds are at the door. Come to find out the blinds were not ordered correctly as I ordered cordless, and these were corded. OK, so I try to call Bossier Lowe's 4 times that evening and kept being routed to an extension that nobody ever picked up (I asked for a manager), so out of desperation, I call the Shreveport location and ask for a manager. I was connected to Shonda, who has been of huge help. She and Victoria were able to order the correct blinds and shades that evening over the phone, but now I had 2 large charges on my Lowe's card.
The first charge could not be taken off until everything was returned. I was told to load all the blinds up and bring back to the store and after verbalizing my concern that they would not all fit in my Toyota Corolla, Shonda did arrange for Lowe's to come pick up the blinds. She also said at this point the sale is coming from Shreveport and not Bossier. Fast forward to May 4th and the correct blinds and shades made it to my house. However, I still had over a 500 charge because the incorrect shades never arrived. So, back on the phone with Victoria I go and after some research she saw where the order had been cancelled prior to delivery and that the Bossier store had to do the credit and at that time no one at Bossier knew how to process a refund on your Lowe's card so it would have to wait until Shonda came to work at Shreveport to talk the Bossier manager thru it.
On May 4th when I let Victoria know all blinds had arrived she told me she alerted the installer. On May 5th around 10 AM, Shonda called me and let me know she alerted the installer and he had 48 hrs to get in touch with me. On Saturday, May 6, Victoria called me again and asked had the installer reached out and I told her no, to which she said she just let him know and he has from Monday thru Friday to get in touch with me. So, here I am still with no window shades and will have to leave work early yet again for the installation. This has been the most complicated mind boggling experience and I do not recommend anyone to have any dealings with Lowe's at this point.

Less than 10 years ago I purchased approximately 200 feet and $4000.00 in fencing exclusively offered at Lowe's. Lowe's provided me with an installer due to no fence companies would install a product they don't sell. Within the 10 years I have had to replace over 100' of the fencing that has cost me with installation close to double my original cost. It was found during an on site investigation that the fence was installed incorrectly which voided my 30 year manufacturer warranty.
I feel Lowe's should be picking up the cost for the replacement fencing and installation cost due to this being an exclusive product and that the installer was Lowe's' recommendation. I would not recommend purchasing this fencing or using Lowe's installers unless you're looking for an inconvenience and wiping out your savings account for the life of your mortgage. It's sad to have to write this about a huge company not helping customers who spend large amounts of money.

1st problem - Contract signed dated 03/20/2017 - priced $1465.85. March 24, 2017 Lowe's charge to my credit card $1540.85. I immediately informed the person who wrote the contract and was confirmed that we would be credited $75.00. I waited 1 week - nothing happened so I called to local customer service. She took my credit card information and said a receipt would be sent on the same day. Again, nothing happened. I waited another 2 weeks - still nothing. I contacted customer care from online, I finally got my money credited. Took almost over a month.
2nd problem - After they charged to my account and got our money, they just let us hang. No further communicate for days, I finally contacted them. They said they did not have the plat/plot (which we provided on the same day the contract was written) and again the very next morning that they claimed they did not received (4/19/2017). Woods were dropped off to our driveway on 4/18/2017 - we were told that as soon as the woods delivered, project would start the very next day and will take 3 days to complete. At one point they admitted that they ordered wrong supplies and would have to re-order.
Woods has been sitting there since, my husband and I have requesting that they move the woods to the backyard or take it back to the store and re-deliver when installation is ready. HOA and neighbors have been on our case since. Worst part, we do not have parking space - parking is scarce at our community which I have repeatedly telling them. As result, we had to street parking and now cited with parking ticket and HOA fees. Last spoke with a "project manager" on 4/27/2017, was promised that woods would be moved to the backyard the next morning 4/28/2017. Again, nothing has happening. I sent an email to customer care and the project manager on Friday evening 4/28/2017. Have not received any response since. This is completely no customer service whatsoever. Please assist...

I paid for carpet on April 18, 2017. Called the following Saturday to check up on it and I was informed the carpet had arrived the day before and that someone will call me by next Monday. No call came. Since then I have call three times and every time the date of the carpet arrival changed. Monday, Tuesday...just to make themselves "not later than two days". Today, Monday the first of May, I'm still waiting for that call from the installers. It might be because I informed them that I will never shop Lowe's again.

I ordered $1600 of product to be delivered. They said they had it ready to come out today, but were missing items that would be charged later (w/o coupon and would cost me another delivery charge). A person named Charity claimed to be the store manager (was not), said the pine straw went so fast, so they could not guarantee I could get that shipped to me, and the rest of the order would now take a few weeks to come out to me. The fist person said today, the manager says a few weeks. The so called manager said she would be "happy" to cancel the order. I guess I will be happy NEVER to shop with you again. Disabled people rely on deliveries, and your store does not want to honor them, the online coupons, and they want to charge you for multiple deliveries (for one order).
I complained to 1800Lowes and customer services saw the order could have been filled by contacting another store. But Charity (not the manager) would not do this! Charity said she was the store manager when I repeatedly asked to speak with the store manager. One wonders who is in charge there, but they are HAPPY to not serve you!

When I be in paint section nobody on there. I asked in customer service like for 3 times continue they call him. After like half hour he's coming but very angry talking me, his say, "You have to wait." Very crazy and bad service. I buy couple things I need. He's never ask me how much I want to pay for paint. He's just given the little can of paint for exterior cost $18 dollars. Bad experience. Next time I preferred going to Home Depot or other place.

Purchased an LG front load washing machine from Lowe's in Middletown DE. After a short time of owning this machine it has been a nightmare. I purchased the 3 year service plan and also have called every day for the past week to get service scheduled. I was told by the Lowe's service rep that no service providers were available to be scheduled. Mind you I have a newborn child at home. Each time I call they state that someone from LG will be in contact. Nobody has contacted me from LG aside from a customer service survey. I continue to call Lowe's and they state they will have a manager contact me. Nobody has contacted me. The 3 year service plan is not being executed and Lowe's and LG have left myself, my wife, and my child out in the cold on this one. DO NOT PURCHASE AN LG front load washer from Lowes and expect them to honor the service plan. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER!!!

First they were hours late to install my carpet. Once it was done they never pulled the carpet to meet up with the linoleum floor so they left a 2 inch gap that you could see the floor underneath. Someone came out to look at it and said it would be fixed. Months later and the problem was never fixed. They rushed through the install because they started so late. The carpet is bubbling up in my son's room because it wasn't pulled tight enough. My son who was only 8 months at the time cut his foot on the linoleum so we went out and bought new hardwood floor to fix the problem ourselves. We did get a call months after the fact but we already fixed it ourselves on our own expense. I would not recommend Lowes carpet install to anyone!

Why expect a home improvement store to provide you a new special order toilet in less than six weeks? First toilet on special order arrived in two weeks smashed to pieces. Returned the toilet and placed new order (took an hour) in store with manager. Called two weeks later asking for ETA and the store told me there was no order placed. I called the corporate office to resolve the issue. They had a manager call me and place a new order. Called the store 7 days later for an ETA to be told there was no order. Called corporate to follow up and they told me I would be Called in 10 minutes. Waited two hours. Called Home Depot. They had a 10 in RO in stock, checked their inventory, set my toilet aside for pickup next day. Called Lowe's corporate back, told them to cancel my order and remove all and any toilet orders from my account and they told me they deleted ALL FOUR ORDERS. Lol. Broken company and toilets!
