    I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator on 06/30/17 from Lowe's... I explained to the salesperson that I needed it on Thursday... and was told that it could be delivered on Thursday morning. 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. Sure we had rain that day which only lasted for about ten minutes. Here it is Sunday and still no refrigerator. To make a long story short don't waste your time calling corporate. Nobody cares about my food spoilage or the inconvenience. I have guest coming in today... and have to sit here waiting on a damn delivery. I do quite a lot of business with Lowe's, but they won't get another dime of my money.

    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.

    Very upset about Lowe's return policy. Bought a generator and it broke. I tried to return it before the 30 days but had lost my receipt. Went to the store where I bought it but they were not able to find record of sale by phone # email or bank card used. Called customer service 3 days in a row trying to figure out by item number. Still not successful. Finally gave up and just purchased another one but this time I bought a 3 years replacement plan. 2 weeks after I purchased it broke. 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. I feel that it makes no sense to pay extra for a replacement plan if the item is not going to be replaced.

    Ordered discontinued wooden flooring via Lowe's national customer service. Told it was coming out of PA, but somehow NJ got the order. After several phone calls, outdated procedures, no callbacks, finally shipped. Arrived way late. Several boards were not the same width! Maybe that is why it was discontinued. Called SEVERAL times with no flooring or store manager available. Of course no problem getting manager to place the order. Finally got a small credit. Never buying online at Lowe's again! About 15 calls to complete!

    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 store has no organization as to getting things done in a timely fashion. Purchased a deck May 5, 2017 and now it's June 27, still waiting on a finished product. We also purchased new carpets and they are also as of now a week late with no install date even talked about. The most frustrating thing is everyone you talk to has an excuse. And of course it is never their fault. Do yourself a favor. Go somewhere else. Or at least you have been forewarned.

    We order a hot water tank from Lowe's in Ocala, Fl. Paid for tank and install. Received a call from Loyd the tech and he asked if we had a step down. Did not know what he was talking about. Wife took pictures and sent to him. He called back saying we have energy saving hardware from the electric co. and he could not touch it. We called electric co. They said he could take off just not put back on. Loyd said he would not touch it. Next day a person from electric co. came out and removed it. And say we should keep the timer only 2 wires to hook up. Loyed said $75 extra to rehook it.

    Now we had no hot water. Loyd never came to the house. It's 95 degrees and we just moved. Told Loyd where he could stick it. He did not want the job. Call a plumber to pick up a tank and install. This cost us about $300; more and we just wanted a hot shower. I feel Lowe's did no live up to their end of contract and I should not have to get stuck paying $300 extra an asking Lowe's to reimburse me the difference. When you call their customer hotline you are put in hold and forgotten.

The site shows 2 units available, plus 2 other stores in the area show 2 units available for delivery the next day. Told in broken English that they will be in about 7 days or so.

    They used to sell Glass Blocks in their stores... now they are a special order item and they are gouging their customers over $2.59 per block. They are at Home Depot (special order) for $6.00 per block... they are $8.59 at Lowe's (Special Order). 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. Lowe's... you should be ashamed!!! Needless to say Home Depot is Lower AND has better pricing. Lowe's, as far as I am concerned is using fraudulent practices. If they do it in the store, they should do it online.

    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.

    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.

    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. This is a condensed version. Lowe's corporate did nothing to rectify this. LOWE'S SHOULD BE ASHAMED. See below the handy work they do!!!

    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. Because of the delivery service messing so many customer's delivery orders up the employees at Lowe's are getting call after call from angry customers yelling at them and there is NOTHING the employee can do but take it. If a company treats their employees with such disregard and disrespect then I want nothing to do with them.

    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?

    Bought a Whirlpool stove at the Coon Rapids Lowe's. Loaded it by myself, got home and got it out of the box. A forklift had pierced through the side. Brought it back and had to wait 30 minutes for another one. Even though I called them and ask for another to be ready. Again loaded by myself. The manager working basically laughed at me when I explained to him my issues. All said and done I was at the store for about 3 hours.

    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.

    I went to start my riding lawn mower and the belt and pullies broke. I only had this riding lawn mower for 43 days. Took it to Lowe's for repairs as I bought their Lowe's Advantage plan. I was told by the store and Lowe's Advantage that my mower was covered so I went and had Lowe's fix it. 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 would have thought the tech would have noticed it on the invoice or all the paperwork that was with my repair slip nothing noted.

    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. And who's to even say the tech is right in saying that. And when I called Troy-Bilt and they told me, "Never take your riding lawn mower to the store." Take it to their dealer direct. Gee too late and I said to Troy-Bilt, "You pay for it. Your company assembled the pullies that broke." And Troy-Bilt says, "That why you take it to our repair shop." Don't buy nothing from Lowe's. Too expensive and don't buy their Lowe's Advantage plan. And they do have a 90 day return policy but not for appliances and our door power equipment that's only a 30 day return policy. Go figure.

    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. The complaint staff put me on hold in an attempt to contact the Bellingham Lowe's store to only return to the call to state was unable to reach anyone at the Bellingham store.

    I received full restitution from Lowes after submitting a formal demand letter. The letter is sent prior to a filing in small claims court.

    Still disappointed that Lowes didn’t step up to the plate immediately. I have never seen such poor communication. At one point I was told I would have to personally sue the independent third tier subcontractor. My contract was with Lowes.

    Original Review: June 17, 2017

    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 purchased my Samsung appliances (4500.00) for my condo renovation in November 2016 ( I also bought a 12ft and a 6ft Pergo sliders, porcelain wood look flooring, $12,000 kitchen cabinets, travertine tile for my new bathroom, all in all I spent about $23,000 at Lowe's). I was told that they were on backorder and would be delivered in February. They were delivered as promised and my contractor installed them. 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?

    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.

    Called Lowe's store #1726 off Hwy 280 Inverness, Alabama. Spoke with Victor regarding a specific carpet. Was told they didn't have it in that store but did so in their Hoover store. 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 ordered 5 windows from the salesman. At first everything was great. Then came the time for installation. The day before installation I get a delivery driver that calls me at work and tells me I will be at your house in 10 mins to deliver windows. Not one person called to inform me this was happening. As a first time purchaser I thought the installers brought the windows. We get our windows when they are taken them off the truck. One window was wrong, the driver refused to take it back. The installers come the next day and have to send the window back. The store promised to get my window on a rush.

    I got my first window in 20 days. I have now waited for a window on rush for 30 days. They promised me that I could get a Saturday install so I didn't have to miss work. Well by the time I can get that it will be 49 days to get my window. I have talked to manager and main office still no resolution to the problem. They blame each other for the mistakes.

    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.

Never heard from them. Called the salesman on 5/31/17 and got to speak with the installer. He said he did not know that the windows had been delivered because the store did not inform him.

    Therefore, we have to wait until 6/8/17 before he comes to install our windows. Lost sleep worrying about windows sitting outside for two weeks and whether anything would happen to them. Had cabinets installed by Lowe's A+ on that job. We had a roof replaced by Lowe's A+ on that job. But now Lowe's gets an F- for the windows installation. Very disappointed.

    Purchase carpet for the first floor of my home. Installers came. When I arrive home I realize the wrong carpet was being installed. I call to have it stopped but they could not stop the job, they had to complete it. Customer service told me to come into the store the next day and I did. They reorder the correct carpet. Told me once the carpet was installed they would give me adjustment for my inconvenience. Waited another three weeks - 6 weeks total to get the right carpet install. Go back to the Lowe's store, speak to the manager name Dorothy who told me once the carpet was installed she would give me a discount.

    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.

    Over the last month I have made several large purchases at Lowe's in Fayetteville, NC on Raeford Rd. One of those purchases was for installing carpet in my home. 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.

    We bought OneWash 3,100-PSI 2.8-GPM Cold Water Gas Pressure Washer with Generac Engine Model #6602 with 4 year Extended Warranty in October 2014.
    We only used the washer 3 times, but last month when we wanted to use it again, the washer didn't want to start & we noticed some gas leak from the gas tank.

    We called the extended warranty customer care, she suggested to take the washer to the store.

    We took it to the store on May 5, 2017. When we got to the store, the employee stated that the warranty has expired and I need to initial pre-approval amount for repair of $125.00 if needed. I said "How could the warranty expires if I have receipt of purchase & 4 years extended warranty that was good until Oct 2018?"

    He said, "Well... That's the policy." I told my husband, "Just leave it there & have them process and see what happen."

    May 12, I called to see the status, they said it will be next week, but they will call to let us know when they received it. May 22, I went to the store since I haven't heard from them. They said it will be there tomorrow & will call once they received it. It took almost 3 weeks, and they didn't even call to let us know the status; However, My husband went to check on the power washer, they made him pay if he wants the power washer back. They said it's not covered under warranty.

    I called the 888-775-6937 to resolve the problems, they can't even find my extended warranty to my washer. I gave them my Warranty reference #, they said that warranty was already tagged to other merchandise. Oh... My goodness... Really???? I said, "I don't know how it was tagged to other merchandise, I didn't have access to your system to begin with." It's all Lowe's mistakes, not mine. All I know I have proof that I had purchased 4 years warranty.

    He called the store to see what's going on, then he told me that I need to resolve with the repair store myself, nothing they can do about it. It's so ridiculous. I was really upset. He was about to transfer me to his supervisor, but he was back on the phone and said his supervisor will send me the store credit for $80. I don't know if that's true or they just got tired with my complaint. I don't believe until I see it.

    The bottom line is... I will never buy any extended warranty from Lowe's. They are not worth it. The way I see it, they will go around find any excuses possible from fulfill their responsibilities & you have to pull your neck to get what you paid for. The store personnel, didn't seem to know exactly what they are doing... Couples times I was dealing with this issue, they have to call somebody else to help. Take too long to figure things out...

I told him that I felt that I should have some money returned to me because there was no follow up to my paying $45.20.

    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 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. My dishwasher has the same problem and the refrigerator. Those issues cannot be resolved unless my granite is pulled up (and it will break... I was told from a Lowe's installer)...

    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.

    We have ordered from Lowe's several times throughout the year, own several rental properties so when appliances are needed, Lowe's has been our go to place. However; last order we told them they could deliver any day Mon-Fri but has to be prior to 12pm. NEVER listened, they tried to deliver several times after 2, then once because we got the call they would be there later. Next day voicemail said someone would be here in afternoon so rearranged office schedule and had someone come in late to be there for delivery and what do you know... they did that morning. In talking to the Lowe's store (inwood/forest in Dallas) the phones rings 4-5 mins before someone answers it. Once answered you're lucky if you don't get disconnected otherwise you're placed on hold for another 5-10 mins. Most times I'd hang up and go elsewhere but they had my stuff!

    Once items delivered the fridge door handle was broken. Again it took days to get someone to answer phone and when I spoke with Maximus, a manager, he said he totally forgot to set us up for replacement handle thus another day waiting for someone to show that didn't. So fed up I called Lowe's Corporate and a nice women answered the phone but just gave excuses like short staffed, they experience same issues when calling this store and others etc... She assured me as the other manager I spoke with at Lowe's (Nye) that my handle would be here this morning by 10:30am. GUESS WHAT... still no service from Lowe's. WORST EVER... Will not return to buy products from them. I could care less if short staffed... Hire more people or train managers to answer the phones in the stores.

    Ordered windows from Lowe's for entire house. Salesman very nice, attentive, windows arrived in timely manner. Installation day, 2 bathroom windows were installed, but not what I ordered. Front bedroom window was measured incorrectly, so it was not installed, the project was incomplete and the house looked weird due to the one old window in front. I was told that day that the window had been re-ordered. 2 weeks passed and in the interim, I tried reaching the salesman multiple times with no response.

    I called the manager at the store, who told me she would follow up, long story short, after multiple calls and complaining, I finally learned my windows had NOT been re-ordered until I complained and was persistent by phone about completing the project. I now have to wait 2 more weeks for the windows, assuming they really were re-ordered. Think twice about having Lowe's install. Very poor customer service/follow up. Very disappointed in the experience and it's not over yet!!

    It was 1 yr. this March since I paid over $30,000 for a complete kitchen remodel. I cannot believe that I still have to follow up with management at Lowe's to complete electrical work that their subcontractor was unable to fix. Aside from shoddy finish work from their subcontractor, I am still trying to get satisfaction from management since their project manager has repeatedly dropped the ball on this issue regarding electrical light switch. I do not usually write negative reviews & am usually a patient person. This is beyond unprofessional from such a large corporation from whom I have spent so much money! Overall I would not recommend Lowe's for a project such as this as they do not have their act together. I also had problems with their granite subcontractor & had to use a private contractor to get the counter top I wanted which added longer time to finish project. Okay, rant over.

    I spent well over 30k on remodeling my kitchen and bathroom through Lowe's. I used quite a few of their vendors and in general they were ok. The staff at Lowe's were horrible and after they collect your money, we'll watch out! I spent over 15k on kitchen cabinets. The designer forgot to include options that I told him that I wanted. He even missed cabinets! Which by the way I am still waiting for after 6 months. All the cabinet doors have holes in them on the seams at the corners. Mind you that my cabinets are bone white so the holes stand out. I was told that the holes are normal! Custom cabinets!

    My order was missing crown molding, toe kick and light rail which apparently is my problem. I talked with the store manager, he had the department guy that worked with me send me an email asking what I was missing which I responded to. This guy already has several emails stating what I was missing. It's been 3 weeks since last email and he still hasn't responded. Do yourself a favor and don't use Lowe's. You can save yourself a lot of grief. Greeley, Colorado.

    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 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!

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.

    I went to the Lowe's store mentioned above to get an exchange and was told that I got water in the seed and caused it to rot. They would not exchange the seed because it was my fault the seed rotted. The MOD and the clerk were not rude, but insistent that the rotted was my fault.

    My family went to Lowe's in Milledgeville, GA store #1644 on Saturday, April 22, 2017 to buy insulation and to rent the machine to blow it in with. When we go to the checkout line the cashier had never even heard of the machine and did not know what to do. When someone finally came to help they told us they had a book to find for us to fill out paperwork to rent the machine. This took forever! Finally they found the book after about 30 minutes and we paid for our things. As we asked for help loading the machine, which is very heavy, your employee just walked off and would not help. At this point I went and got another employee and he sighed and mumbled the whole way down the aisle behind me because he was mad about having to help.

    On Sunday, April 23, 2017, I returned the machine with my handicap husband in the car on oxygen and they told me the wait it get the machine off my truck would probably be about 45 minutes. At this point I told the cashier my husband did not have enough oxygen left to make it this long. She didn't seem to care either. I finally found 2 employees loading something and I got them to help me. As a wife with a disabled husband I would think Lowe's would help me as he is not able, but I feel as though we were a burden to your company and not a customer that was wanted.

    I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THEM EVEN 1-STAR BUT CANNOT GO ON UNLESS I GIVE THEM ONE - I purchased quite a few rod iron panels from Lowe's a couple of years ago. The salesman told me that this rod iron would last me 10 years plus before it might start to rust, maybe longer. Less than a year it started to rust terribly to a point that it had to be replaced or my beautiful dogs (who are my family) would get out. They are Siberian huskies and this breed most of the time when gone can never be found. I was scared to let them out or even go to work. I contacted Lowe's immediately and they told me that they had a terrible time with this particular rod iron, had a lot of complaints about it, and would be glad to just have one of their guys bring over new panels. They told me that they are dealing with a new company, who guarantees their product, and that this rod iron should last me 20 years plus.

    They dropped off the rod iron at my house and I had it re-installed. They refused to pay for the install (which I think is really crappy but typical Lowe's); I just wanted my dogs safe. This rod iron only lasted a hair over a year, and rotted much worse than the original rod iron. Between Lowe's and the company they bought the rod iron from, they were going to replace it and pay for the install. I then ended up working with a Hispanic man calling himself Richard at the Lowe's in Tempe, AZ on Baseline Rd. He and I did not get along (and by the way, he called me before our big blow-up and said that he found the paperwork on all of this.) After our blow-up, he told me to basically kiss his a-- that he had now decided not to help me at all, and that I am on my own, and hung up on me. I told him in our many conversations that I am treating for breast cancer, cannot afford to replace and pay for all of this myself, etc, and he did not seem to care.

    I got so mad at him (and please understand I was very sick from chemo and he knew that) that I said to him I bet if I was Mexican, he would have had all of it re-installed by now. He agreed with me and said I was correct, that if I were Mexican, he would have taken care of me long ago. I don't know what all he told the higher ups, but he lied to them and said that he never found any of my paperwork from the previous purchase and delivery, told them that I threatened him, which I did not, and denied the entire Mexican conversation. What a jerk, but I believe this is just the kind of people Lowe's hires. I am still very sick, have high cancer bills, and cannot afford to pay for the replacement and installation of new panels and still worry everyday I may not have my dogs any longer. I hate Lowe's for what they have done to me and think they should own up to this.

    Hired them to remodel our kitchen. It has turned into 1 stupid thing after another. They have done some good work, some shoddy work. They put the cabinets up blocking an a/c vent not having the foresight to move it. They put the A/C drain to the kitchen sink, which there is a problem. The sink isn't installed so it drained into the new cabinets all over the floor. The contractor tried to pull a fast one by trying to not do tile work we paid for and just putting the new fridge on the concrete, and likely pocket that money already paid for the work. They have consistently put up sheet rock, only to cut it to do other work and have to redo it. As of today, they have not shown up for a full 7 days. 4 people we have phone numbers on don't answer and don't return calls.

    The general contractor has complained about how overworked and busy they are as a reason for not showing up. Like that's my problem. They shouldn't have taken this job if they can't do it. There is no end in sight to this and they aren't willing to give us what we paid for. I truly can't imagine a worse scenario. The pictures is the state of our kitchen now.

I had a $170 balance, but NO PAYMENT THE PRIOR MONTH BECAUSE I RECEIVED NO BILL. I was charged a $25 late fee and almost $100 in interest. How do you like that?

    I bought a lawn mower from Lowes a few months back. It wasn't the cheap one but it wasn't the expensive one either, I bought the mid-grade lawn mower as my yard is not very big. After I cut my grass just one time, the lawn mower stopped working and would no longer start. I took the lawn mower back to Lowe's and at first they did not want to help because I didn't have the receipt. They decided that they would just let me replace it, as they should knowing I had only owned the mower for less than 30 days.

    I was also told that the reason the mower stopped working was because I wasn't using an additive to the gasoline and that I needed to buy this additive to use for the new mower. I bought the additive, mixed the proper amount with the gas and mowed the grass. Everything worked great, so I thought. The second time I went to cut the grass with the new mower, it would no longer start! I tried everything I could and double checked the gas, spark plug, oil, etc. I couldn't figure out the problem. I brought the mower to Lowe's to tell them what happened and the only solution they could come up with was that I pay to have it repaired...

    I told them a second time that the mower is new, the first one stopped working for the same reason and that I was told to use an additive. I had done everything the right way and it seemed to be a defective design in the product because it is not working. They said that the only thing they could do is have it sent off and I pay for the repair. The lawn mower is brand new, it shouldn't need a repair let alone me pay for it! I ended up speaking to the manager, Brain, and he less than helpful and rude in his tone. I wasn't there for anything other than help and they took it as I was just trying to get something for free when in reality I just wanted a working mower that I already paid for, not free.

    They were no help and I was not about to pay for a repair on a new mower when that with shipping would cost close to a new mower. As I walking out of the door, a very nice gentleman came up to me, who was an employee there, and told me that if I decide to buy a new mower or get it fixed that I should buy the gas there at Lowe's because it doesn't have Ethanol and those mowers can't use Ethanol or they will break. Why the hell is this the first time I'm hearing this after two lawn mowers break!!! This guy wasn't even the manager, he was just looking out for me and doing his job by informing a customer about a very important piece of information when buying that mower. If I had known that from the beginning, I wouldn't have bought that mower.

    The manager, the customer service reps, and the person who originally helped me for my first purchase did not know about the Ethanol situation and did not know to tell people to buy the gas from Lowe's which doesn't have Ethanol! I went back and read the manual and nothing in it says anything about Ethanol!

    When Shionda finally began to assist me she answered the phone 10 times and started slamming it down out of frustration. She was then unable to complete the return by herself and needed a manager to assist. There are many more stories like this, like not getting return phone calls when you are trying to order flooring for bathroom. Don't try to order online and do a store pickup. The item is never ready and you have to wait longer than if you had walked in. I have to ask what their process and procedures are for hiring and training good employees?

The dates quoted were fine because the project would be done before Easter. As my home is the host home for Easter, this was important to me. The cabinets did not arrive within 5 days. I was then told they would arrive by March 24. That didn't happen either. The cabinets finally arrived on March 29th, but the order was short 2 cabinets. ALL the cabinets FINALLY showed up on April 4th, and the installer, Myron, arrived on April 7th. Upon inspection, Myron discovered that one of the drawer units was broken. Myron told me that nothing could be installed until all the pieces arrived without defect. He left, and I was stuck with a room full of cabinetry and boxes.

    The replacement unit was ordered, and it arrived April 12th. My husband and I went to pick it up and brought it home. On April 14th, another installer, George, arrived. Upon his inspection, he told me that Myron's inspection was faulty. Two of the cabinets should have the dimensions of 24X30, but instead were 30X24. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! It is clear that my home will not be ready to host anything in 3 days. Something that was supposed to take no more than 2 weeks is taking a month, and it still won't be finished because Lowe's is incompetent. I cannot believe that I have spent over $2,500 of my hard earned money for nothing more than a headache and a bunch of excuses and ridiculousness. I will never again count on Lowe's for anything.

    I purchased a stainless steel refrigerator from Lowe's in 2015. In the past 3 months my ice maker stopped working. I called Lowe's Warranty and they sent a tech. This unknowledgeable tech told me to fix the ice maker. I need to put a piece of wood under the left side of my refrigerator and this will fix the issue. A piece of wood under a $1200+ refrigerator did not sound right at all. So I called Lowe's again and requested a new 3rd party vendor tech or whomever they use for service to come out. Guess what. The Supervisor assured me a new company and new tech will come out and guess what, the same guys with no company logo on truck or shirt comes again. He looks at the refrigerator again and diagnose the issue to be a piece of wood needs to be under the refrigerator.

    I was livid and call Lowe's Warranty again and spoke to another supervisor that promised to send another tech out but it will have to be 4/14/2017. Today the same tech shows up at my door with his iPhone and screwdriver and I politely advised him "you service is not needed and I will contact Lowe's Warranty again." Lowe's warranty does not honor their warranty on appliances. The tech that showed up at my door should not be in the fixing business. Lowe's warranty will not do anything to replace or fix my 2 year old refrigerator purchased from them. I will never buy from Lowe's ever. This is a horrible company and their warranty program needs to be revisited and scrapped. Customers are 1st.

    I purchase quite a bit of home improvement products for my home, lake house and rental properties. For a number of years, I have made my purchases at Home Depot, primarily because it is convenient. In the past year, Home Depot's service has gone downhill. For my latest major purchase, I decided to give Lowe's in Keller a chance to earn my business. What a mistake! This was probably my worst experience with any retailer in my lifetime. Inexperienced employees, not enough employees to provide assistance of a major purchase and poor customer service. When I asked to meet with the manager, I discovered why the store was in the shape it was in. I explained my problems and asked for his help. He could care less if I made my major purchase at Lowe's. When I told him I would go back to Home Depot, he just walked away. I went ahead and made my purchase at Lowe's (unfortunately) because of all the time I'd already spent there.

    When I went to receive my product, it was not ready. I waited 1 hour for them to locate the product, and it was not set up properly and 1 part was missing. They said they'd locate it another store the next day. 3 days later, they called and said the part was ready to pick up. When I went to pick it up, it took an hour to locate it. I could go on and on with details, but I think you get the point. I have never been treated as poorly and disrespectful by a store manager as this one at Lowe's in Keller. Needless to say, I will NEVER shop at Lowe's again!

When asked about it they lied and told us it was 1,500.00, I saw and heard the transaction with the person who bought it. I could go on, and on but I prefer to give them a chance until tomorrow, after that you can see the rest of my story on FACEBOOK LIVE. I will give the proper link tomorrow if not resolved, and everyday after that, I will make sure consumers are aware of the poor service Lowe's provides.

Husband is disabled vet and he can't get on ground so called Lowe's and mgr said he would get new mower out to us and would call back. He never called back so I called 4 times asking for mgr and got caught off 4 times. Finally got mgr but was a different person and he said someone would come out tomorrow. This is ridiculous. Mower breaking with first use is not good indicator of things to come. I want a new mower. This one is a piece of crap and probably is dry rotted through and through. Lowe's will not get my business if this is not resolved to my satisfaction. Horrible service for disabled veteran who can't walk or take care of such things!!

    My experience with Customer Service with Lowe's of NC has been the worse experience of my life. I usually do on the average of 10K dollars a year of business with Lowe's. I will never shop there again, my most recent experience over the last month has been a nightmare. The employees working at the North Ramsey story were worse than rude, they would not even acknowledge your presence when seeking assistance. I paid cash for Bosch dishwasher and installation, it's been a month and 7 days and the dishwasher is still broke, it worked one time before leaking all over the kitchen floor. Three technicians have been out to repair it without success, I cannot get Lowe's to replace it.

    I have made calls to Lowe's corporate headquarters in Wilkesboro and Charlotte without any success in getting the dishwasher replaced. I get repetitive evasive answers and continuous referrals to other store representatives without any resolution to the issue. The only direct answer is "we will send someone out to check on the appliance" that has been done twice and was told it cannot be repaired and this is a new dishwasher. To date I have talked to Production Managers, Service Specialist, various other employees from different stores in the last 5 weeks without any resolution. This treatment associated with the demeanor of the floor employees of the Fayetteville Lowe's leads to the conclusion that you want to shop anywhere but at the Lowe's Store on North Ramsey, Fayetteville, NC.

    Overall very happy with my new kitchen remodel. However, the complaints from the guys on site for the drywall, electrical, etc was horrible. We live in between 2 Lowes sites. We chose the site where the customer service is better. Apparently the contractor they use is from the West side, so the guys assigned to our job had to drive an hour to get to our house. Every time someone came, all I heard was how far they had to drive (an hour). On top of that, we had a storm and lost power for 5 days. We bought a generator for our necessity and convenience (middle of Winter) and one of the workers was complaining "did they go out and buy a generator so we would have to work?" He obviously didn't realize I had walked into the room. I had called the contractor that morning and told him that we were still out of power but had a generator so if anyone needed to work, we had power.

    The electrician cheaped out on the electrical. He tied the under-cabinet lighting into a 15 amp circuit - should have been a 20. Also, he tied the stove and dishwasher together into a 15 amp circuit. Should have been 2 separate lines on a 20 amp circuit. Part of the Lowes deal is the "coordinator" that will contact you about 2 times a week to check in with you with any updates and answer questions. I didn't hear from her for 3 weeks, she never returned phone calls. If she did it was days later. I also had to make phone calls to coordinate with the Lowes store on deliveries, etc. It was just faster. I believe, technically, I'm still waiting for a couple of phone calls. I would give 2.5 / 10 stars. Love my cabinets and new kitchen but was not thrilled with all other extra "stuff" that I had to deal with.

Lowe's then stated they wouldn't relay the floor but they could fix it using seams. Lowe's said manufacturer specs said seams have to be every so many feet. My lower level is 400 sq ft and second floor about the same. Seems ridiculous to have so many seams in such a small area. Lowe's never said seamless was a problem until third person.

    I researched that installers company through Better Business Bureau and they had an "F" rating for hiring unlicensed employees. Lowe's said I could tear up flooring and return it for refund. I told them to come tear it up, bc I initially had it ready for laminate install. Would not recommend Lowe's for flooring install.

    I wanted to order blinds for my newly build home and by mistake I approached Lowe's Peoria. They had all the signs that they can't get it right, but I still went there for some deals they had. There is only one person who knows how take the order and he doesn't know anything about the blinds or how it is priced. It was a pain to work with that guy. He gave me a sample booklet to choose and said everything in it has the same price. Which was wrong and I had to re do my selections. We had to learn and do it ourself and somehow I got it ordered. And they over charged me, I noticed that on my way back. I went back there to check that. Nobody there was able to explain why I was overcharged, there is difference is the calculation, but somehow they are sure, that the numbers are correct.

    I was offered I can make any change in the selection within 3 days. I went there twice in 24 hours and 5 times in the given 3 days to make a color change, nobody there to help me. Finally I got the one person who thinks who knows about all this, asked me to wait and come again the next day. It was only 6 in the evening, they were open till 9. I said I will wait and want it to be done the same day. He said he will get the manager and left. Yes. He just left leaving me waiting there. I waited there for 30 minutes and nobody showed up. He just left the store. I went and asked for manager, 3 guys came who had some manager tag, and nobody bothered to help. Finally after an hour wait, I got some manager, who helped me to change the order.

    More than 3 weeks called their customer care number for an update on the blinds. After a horrible automated answering machine, if you are lucky enough to get the call connected. Talked to somebody who said they got the blinds at store, and they forwarded to install department. After another set of automated answering machine and wait, the customer care agent said, nope, the blinds are not there. Another 10 min struggle, they confirmed the blinds are arrived, somebody from the install will contact us within 2 days. Nobody called us. We called Lowe's again. They asked us to contact install guys and gave their number. Called the install team, they said, they don't have any information on it. Also although I paid for the installation, the install guys are asking more money because I shipped to Lowe's.

    I did not know anything about it, the so called blinds expert in Lowe's did it and he said that's how it works. I haven't got the refund on the overcharge they promised and now I have to pick it from store and get it installed. Hopefully this will be done once I pick it and I never has to go there. Just to get the blinds, I had to go 7-8 times in Lowe's and numerous calls. If you ever need any blinds, if Lowe's is the last option, do it yourself or forget about it, don't go there. Save yourself from the frustration.

You have to waste too much valuable time waiting for the limited number of employees to become available. I am in Baton Rouge, LA, post the flood of 2016. The service wasn't great by no means, before the flood but now it's ridiculous!

    I paid Lowe's to come to my home and evaluate and measure my home for hardwood flooring. In November 2016 I paid Lowe's in Lakewood Colorado over $16.000 to install the floor. Then the problems started from the multiple calls to deliver the flooring materials to the inability to install the wood flooring and reordering new flooring. Multiple trips made to the Lakewood store to settle the problems. Multiple calls to the store with disrespectable comments made. Specifically stated by an assistant manager to "Go ahead and call the corporate office. You will still have to deal with the manager at this store." Oh and he was right. The corporate office takes hours of your time. No matter what they refuse to let you speak to a general manager in Colorado.

    The inability for this store to order the right baseboards, deliver the product on a date and time you request, be respectful, or have integrity is severely missing. I waited 4 months to get the flooring installed. The manager William promises he will replace the floor at no cost to me and will compensate me for my time never happened. I have a floor that is already falling apart and no choice but to consider legal action because I can't even get this manager on the phone. I would not recommend Lowe's for any install.

    Sold me used, damaged/discontinued appliances. I have been ill because I am full of adhesions from multiple surgeries and have GI tract difficulties. Both of my babies were breech over thirty years ago and only one was cesarean. I have a separation in my GI tract lining and this has been prepared piecemeal over several days because I have a difficult time sitting here. It is difficult to stay dressed in street clothes and I have to spend an inordinate amount of time in bed or in the bathroom. We were in desperate need of a washer and dryer so I "bit the bullet" and went to Lowe's to take advantage of a no interest charge if paid off in twelve months. I could not stay to complete the purchase. I called Lowe's to explain medical problems and a gentleman was helpful getting everything ready so all I had to do was come in and sign. He also talked me into a five-year extended warranty so I "wouldn't have to worry".

    Sept. 8, 2015 the new LG front load washer and dryer were delivered and removed from boxes. Delivery men placed them inside a recessed area of our house designated for them. They would not connect the dryer exhaust hose because they are required to connect with all new hardware/accessories and because our exhaust hose ran under the house they advised they are not allowed to crawl under houses.

    When they placed the washer where it was supposed to go, it stuck out too far to be able to open the door due to part of wall and door frame. They suggested having my husband cut door frame so I could open the door to washer. I disagreed and told them to take the appliances back. I could tell they were angry at that request by the way they disconnected the water hoses. I feel retaliation ensued.

    Sept. 9, 2015 I returned to Lowe's "biting the bullet" again to get credit for return and make another purchase for a top load washer. Observing how our house is set up, delivery men knew the appliances were to be installed in an area not easily monitored. We are in a small tri-level and the appliance hook-up is on the bottom/basement floor.

    Sept. 10, 2015 a washer and dryer were carried in side-by-side by delivery men on what appeared to be two poles or 4 X 4's and I noticed they didn't quite match. The dryer door appeared to have been rubbing up against something (like it had been in storage somewhere?) and the washer appeared to have been "tagged" for a problem. When I questioned about why it was tagged I was told it was "marked" for me. I'm small and could vividly recall their annoyance at the previous delivery so I was intimidated to express any opposition.

    Washer and dryer were placed in recessed area, only connected the water lines and men could not get out of here fast enough after hurriedly requesting I sign a paper. I'm "biting the bullet" again, feeling uncomfortable trying to read what I was asked to sign. I was told it was just to acknowledge delivery. Once signed, they were in a hurry to leave but I asked to make a copy and ran it through our fax machine because I wanted a copy of whatever I signed.

    Washer was wobbly and not balanced. Called Lowe's right away and was informed it had been balanced at the store. I said our floor level must not be the same. I was then told to call the manufacturer. I explained I had purchased a five-year extended warranty that I had been advised Lowe's honored. I was then informed during the first year it was still under the manufacturer’s warranty.

    The literature I was given declares the LG warranty is not valid unless appliances properly installed. It further advises we will be charged for any repairs. The dryer was not connected for reasons above and the washer had not been balanced so I was afraid use it. Since my husband had to balance washer and connected the dryer to exhaust hose I felt between a rock and a hard place. Reading through the owner's manual for the dryer there is an installation test required to confirm adequate ventilation. That had not been done due to the refusal of venting the dryer so my husband did that too.

    I need to do laundry every day and I had been unable to do laundry for several days. The first time I used the washer I had a question about the way the water filled the machine so I called LG to see if it was normal. The woman I spoke with asked for the serial/model no. I couldn't understand why she needed that to tell me if the discharge was normal or not. After I gave the no(s). to her she then asked if the machine had been delivered in a box. That put up red flags because neither appliance had been delivered in a box.

    It should be noted that when I received my first Lowe's charge bill the balance due was not the same amount as the ticket I signed or what was on the sales receipt. I called and was told to bring in my receipts. I went to Lowe's "biting the bullet" again with my proofs of purchase to have them make corrections. After an extended discussion and researching they finally determined I had not been given credit for the first five-year warranty purchased with the first pair of appliances. I was given $199.08 cr. which was still short $1.67. After much arguing I was given the additional $1.67. That had not been a good day for me.

    I made several attempts to monitor the washer but due to my medical difficulties I was unable to constantly watch it as I noticed the water and electric bills increasing. I couldn't understand why it took so long to do loads. I finally attempted to synchronize the kitchen timer on the stove with the timer on the washer downstairs because I noticed the timing kept changing anywhere from one minute to several but this could occur more than just one time on any load. I could walk away when it had nine minutes left to finish spinning to check the stove timer, return to the washer and it had jumped up to twenty-two minutes.

    Sometimes the washer would fill up all the way attempting to balance loads. When I could "bite the bullet" and watch it, sometimes it frequently stopped and started, adding water but never agitating then just draining and the tub would seem to "adjust" trying to balance. Sometimes the clothes never rinsed. When the washer stopped because of being out of balance (indicated by "UE") the instructions are to manually redistribute the load. Sometimes when that happened and I pushed to restart, it resumed but other times it would "end" without finishing the load so I had to start over.

    I have to dry everything on "low" because the dryer gets too hot. Even though I kept calling Lowe's about suspected refurbished units I was repeatedly told to call the manufacturer for service. The fluctuations in the utility bills did not reflect substantial savings as indicated by the "energy saving" appliances, but I felt like I had no choice. Frustrations got worse after I received our Aug. 2016 water and electric bills that were just too much and beyond normal but there was still nothing I could do because of health problems. On or about March 13th & 17th I made attempts to sit by the machine trying to monitor. My husband was not happy about that and expressed the way he felt. That wasn't pleasant for me.

    I am retired on SS. Our latest water bill is $179.38 and our electric "current charges" have increased over $100.00 plus more each month. When our usage was over $300.00 in January and our budget amount went up, I felt pressured into trying to monitor the washer closer but it is too hard for me to constantly monitor what the washer is doing. This has made grocery shopping very difficult. I am in pain because it is difficult to sit here and I am bleeding. 20/20 hindsight for over the past year seems to confirm that Lowe's sold me used, defective, and/or refurbished appliances that had been discontinued. It certainly appears they didn't want to take the loss.

    This has not been easy for me because I made pains to get the charge paid off within the "no interest" time frame. Trying to piecemeal write this is bringing tears to my eyes and I hurt as I sit here. I feel this is a direct result of the defective appliances Lowe's sold me as new. I tried to be up front and very honest with Lowe's about my GI tract problems and feel they took advantage of a feeble elderly person. I cannot do without a washer & dryer and cannot afford to go through this again. I am stuck with increasing utility bills and don't know what to do anymore.

    I ordered a Samsung front load washer and dryer from Lowe's on 3/08. My confirmation email said I would receive a phone call on 3/22 to confirm delivery on 3/23. No phone call by 3/24 so I called and the operator said they had just arrived at the store and we went ahead and set up delivery for 3/28. I was very excited to get my pair and get started on my laundry. Well, they brought the wrong power cord for the dryer and told me they would return the very next day before 11am with the right cord. Come next day, they still had not showed by noon so I called and they told me to call back at 330pm. I did. By that time all of the delivery trucks had come back to the store and the drivers had went home.

    The manager on duty recommended I just go pick up the cord from the store and plug it up myself. So I drove 30 minutes across town and I did. When I got home to plug it up sparks flew EVERYWHERE. My brand new washer has a very bad burn spot on it and my wall is also burnt. So after ten minutes of trying to get a hold of someone at the store, I was placed on hold in which the call was dropped. Another 20 minutes later the manager said to expect a call tomorrow to get things straightened out. Waiting almost a month for and incident like this to happen is NOT WORTH IT!!! I will not be waiting for a call, I am going straight up there after work to try and resolve this. I am not a happy customer and I will not return to Lowe's after this.

    I purchased fencing and gates for my home. The gates were floppy and cheaply done. Lowe’s and the manufacture rep came to inspect and agreed that the gate was to be repaired/replace. That was January 30, 2017. After numerous, almost weekly communication, Lowe’s again tells me they are going to order the material!!! This is at least the 3rd time – so guess who is lying. All I want is what I paid for, up front before installation because that is how Lowe’s does it. And then I guess they get away with doing shoddy work and I have no leverage to get it corrected. NEVER us Lowe’s for installation ever again.

    Getting carpet for 3 rooms and applied and received Lowe's credit card so as to avoid interest on payments for 6 months. At first they said could do very quickly, but once bought carpet it took 3 weeks to get installation. Then, I tried to set up online payments with credit card and I could not set it up online - kept saying "technical difficulties - try later". I kept trying for more than a week and could not set it up. Called the customer service representative who basically said she couldn't help and just keep trying. Finally mailed in payment because I could not set up in time - and still can't set it up! No one can give a reason for this being so. Very disappointed.

    I will start with another complaint first. I purchased tile for my bathroom. Installer called gave me a date and time. When they were 1.5 hrs late I called, said I wasn't on the schedule for that day. Rescheduled, they were 3 hrs late. They arrived around 4 pm HAHAHA. Told me they could do the whole job. Needless to say I canceled altogether.

    My new issue purchased a washer and dryer on 3-12-17 was delivered 3-18-17 at my request. The dryer stopped working today 3-26-17. I called the store, they couldn't even find a record of purchase. I decided to drive the 2 minutes it takes to get to Lowes, remember that later in the reading. They ask me when do I want the new one, I said "today". They have signs stating same day delivery if in stock. Said they couldn't do it. I said "tomorrow, has to be after 4:30". "Oh we can't guarantee that request. We can request it, but not guaranteed". I have 3 busy days coming up, tue, wed, thurs. Spoke to mgr he says he can't guarantee the time of delivery. Never was I offered any type of compensation for my inconvenience. I have wet clothes sitting here. They could at least offer a store gift card or something.

    They just cannot get it right. Kept delaying a $5.48 part until I finally cancelled but the most important part of the order, the two toilets were also cancelled although they did not show up on the order. VERY difficult to get someone on the line for customer service. Expect long waits. In the end, it appears the billing address had a number transposed which I could not see. Hardly a blink of helpfulness from their end. My credit card company was more helpful. All in all, for one order they sent fourteen emails. Stupid time to read the copious frivolous mail.

    It took three deliveries to get the washer and dryer. One to deliver the washer, one to deliver the hoses, one to deliver the dryer and hookup. I asked the guys who didn't speak English well to put the old "good" washers in my garage. These were to go to my son since they were still in good working condition. The delivery guy moved the one unit alone allowing it to fall and break the door making the unit useless. Contacting the driver... He states it was that way when they got there. The supervisor was to call and didn't. Someone calls finally and offers a mere $100.00 for the broken unit. Are you kidding me? Can I buy a used unit of this quality for $100.00. I had estimates for re-doing the entire kitchen. Over 45k. Forget it now if that's how Lowe's treats customers.

    This is a long story full of MANY complaints that I have regarding our recent experience attempting to purchase tile from the Alachua, FL Lowe's location. Our home flooded on 3/6/2017 and all of the flooring had to be removed. We were looking to quickly purchase and install new flooring as we are stuck living in a hotel with our 3 children until this can be done. I requested a measure be done on 3/10/2017 and planned to have Lowe's install the tile that I was purchasing. I paid the $35 fee and was told that I would be contacted within two days to set up a measure appt. No one ever called us. On 3/14/2017 we requested a refund and hired our own installer. On 3/16/2017 I purchased over $2000 worth of tile and supplies (grout and baseboards). I also paid for delivery. I was told that it would be delivered on 3/18/2017. 3/18/2017 came and went and no delivery person ever contacted us.

    We called the store on 3/19/2017 and were told that the person who put it into the computer scheduled the delivery for April 1st!!! We assured the person we were speaking to that we would have never agreed to that date and that we were promised a 3/18 delivery when the tile was purchased. They offered to send what they had in stock and then send more later. That would have meant receiving tile in 2 separate dye lots which would have been problematic. We went to the store after this conversation to speak with someone in flooring. The person there was a bit clueless on how to handle this situation but promised he would find answers and call us back.

    After 4 hours of not hearing from him, we called him back. He told us that the tile would not arrive at the store until Tuesday and ASSURED us that it would be out FIRST THING Wednesday morning and would arrive at our home well before noon. This was a setback, but we are pretty understanding people and said that this would be fine. We called 3/21 to confirm and were ASSURED that it was still scheduled to be at our home today before noon on 3/22. At 2 pm on 3/22 we still had no tile. Our flooring person couldn't start and sent his crew to other jobs because of this. We are stuck in a hotel even longer now because of this.

    We called the store and spoke to a manager who offered no solutions and said that he would call us back in an hour. The delivery driver called while we were speaking to the manager (at around 1:20 pm) and said that he wouldn't be to our house for at least another 2 hours because he had to go to another store to pick up additional grout. They had known for DAYS at this point that this needed to be to us first thing in the morning and they didn't plan ahead to make sure that everything was ready to go!!! I am so frustrated with this whole situation that I am at the point where I just want to return EVERYTHING and purchase from another company on sheer principle - I can't do that though because my family needs to get back into our home as soon as possible.

    I was contacted at approx 4 pm on 3/22 by the "assistant store manager". Our conversation was less than satisfactory and left me feeling worse about the situation than before I talked to him. He informed me that he "cannot change the past" and that I should have contacted him before this because he can't solve a problem when it's come to an end. He said that Lowe's works with thousands of customers and millions of dollars and that things are going to happen and occasionally people are going to drop the ball.

    This made me feel like he was saying Lowe's is too big to care about our puny little problem. He got very defensive when I told him I felt like he was making excuses. He told me that next time we should ask to speak to a manager - we DID ask to speak to a manager and were put through to the delivery manager multiple times but never escalated to a store manager. I feel like if a store is run properly, I shouldn't have to go directly to a manager anyway- the associates should be trained to do their jobs so that things like this don't happen. When things like this DO happen the manager should take responsibility and not talk to a customer like they're overreacting or that they're the ONLY person to ever experience this type of problem.

    When he told me that it was normal for people to occasionally "drop the ball", I agreed and asked if it were typical for every employee involved in a purchase like this to "drop the ball" and he responded very condescendingly with "no ma'am, it's not typical at all, just in YOUR situation". He then tried to placate me with a $100 credit. He said "would $100 make you happy?" I told him that no, I will never be happy with the situation, and $100 certainly doesn't change the fact that we were given terrible customer service and no one seems to care. He said that he cares and insisted on the $100 credit.

    If it were not for the fact that I want to get back into my home as soon as possible, I would let Lowe's come pick up everything they delivered and return it to the store. I am disgusted with the "customer service" that we have received. I have canceled my Lowe's credit card and will NEVER shop in one of their stores again. I am also reporting this incident and the way that it was handled everywhere that I can so that other consumers will think twice before purchasing their goods from Lowe's.

    Hello, Lowe’s was hired to install a PVC 6ft privacy fence last year at the new house I just bought with my wife. The Colgate salesman George from Hazlet Lowe’s was such a smiling car salesman. He even had me because I was excited for my new house. The guy promised me the straight install on the day and with respectable men wearing Lowe’s gear and smiling and whistling while doing the work correct. They were even going to contact me to come over and check out the job first. Making sure they cleaned up nicely and made the customer happy. WRONG!!!

    After I paid in full I was supposed to get a call the next day. It took me 2 weeks to get in contact. Then he told me stuff, “We can’t get to you for a month at least.” Then the contractor was a third party that never called me just showed up the day the sales guy picked. So these guys come a little late block my road, cursing, yelling. I asked if they could let my neighbors get by and I would move my car. The owner of the fence company said me it now and this it was I hate ** people. Jeff’s Fencing. So they were loud, rude, took many breaks and were complaining the rains coming. We most likely can’t finish while taking so many breaks, so they worked a total of maybe 2 hrs.

    There are so many things they did that day. Here are a few. They installed my fence gates so far off my house, installed it with huge gaps, had no survey installed in not on my property line 9 inches short. Latches weren’t working, the fence had to be repaired several times because the gates were falling down and post sinking. They left so much debris and my son 2 years old was playing with all the glass they dug up and left behind. So I contact corporate. They blew me off for some time then after 40 or so calls I go them to make the gates better. They told me I had no choice but for the same yahoos to come out.

    They came and weeks later the latches weren’t working again and the fence gates were not opening because they never reinforced the post or made them level. Now after 60 -70 phone calls and emails they finally get a few other guys to come out and they did a OK job could’ve been a little better. They also left huge gaps on the gates. I went through almost 100 emails and was overcharged compared to other estimates I had before I hired Lowe’s thinking they would be the best. I was wrong.

    The people at the Lowe’s store were rude also. They gave me 600 off a fence and made me sign a waiver but then the fence needed work right after so they tried to say, “Hey you signed off on the fence,” I really hate this company. I want more money off because it took 6 months, 70 phone calls and a hundred emails. My time and was overcharged to begin with. I have received no officially apology. Lowe’s needs to realize I paid for a product and signed a contract that wasn’t done in a timely fashion. I owe thousand on a install that has cost me my time and treated like crap. I want more money back. DON’T USE LOWE’S. Google the issues people have had. They are no good. They hire 3rd party unskilled people.

Looking a Lowe's for a tub surround we were directed to a Design constant. What a help she was. She LISTENED to us. We told her our concerns and that we were on a budget. She told us it would cost $75 for her advice which would be and was deducted from the final price. She was wonderful. She helped us buy tile for the floor, tub surround, tub, shower etc and new vanity. Our old one was much too low and this one is perfect. She helped us with the colors.

    We met our contractor Steve who was very thorough. When the supplies were to delivered he checked them over for any flaws. The tub surround was replaced. We were told it would take 5 days and it did. The workmen were courteous and cleaned up every night. We did our own painting and they started on Tues so we would have the weekend to complete the job. The bathroom looks beautiful. Just what we wanted. We would highly recommend using Lowe's. The location of the store is Hatfield, PA. A truly good experience.

    On November 22, 2016, Vincent **, Lowe's contractor, his brother and nephew came to install carpet in our bedroom and bathroom that we had purchased from Lowe's. The brother and nephew worked in the bathroom most of the time and Vincent was in the bedroom working. Carpet was put down, everything was finished and they left. On November 24, 2016, Thanksgiving day, I was getting ready to go to Thanksgiving dinner and went to put my rings on that were on my ring holder in the bathroom and they were all gone except one ring. Approximately 8-9 rings were missing. The only ones who had access to our bathroom were the carpet installers. On Friday, 11/25/16 we reported the incident to our local sheriff's office and was told not to contact Lowe's, to let them do some investigating first and they would contact them. So we waited.

    The sheriff's department got together with Washington County Sheriff's office and questioned the parties involved. Of course they all three denied any wrongdoing. We was reimbursed $2500 by our homeowner's insurance, leaving us with a loss of approximately $1100, not to mention the agony of not getting my rings back. We contacted Lowe's of Marietta and spoke with Brandon, Store Manager. Brandon was sorry this had happened and would check to see how to handle the issue. We got the phone number for Lowe's corporate office and called them to see if they would do to rectify the situation. In fact I contacted the corporate office on several occasions, was told they would look into the situation and someone would contact me in a few days. So I waited a week with no response.

    After contacting them three times I was told that my local Sheriff's office who was handling the investigation would need to contact them, they could not discuss the issue with me. To make a long story short, I still have not received any compensation from Lowe's in Marietta, Ohio, only an "I'm sorry this happened to you" from the Store Manager Brandon. I wish I could get my rings back. I have even went to local pawn shops in that area to look for them with no luck.

    Lowe's is not taking any responsibility for their contractors stealing from my home. I have not heard anything from them and I don't really expect to. This incident has haunted me many sleepless nights and I want others to beware of the issue. Do not let Vincent ** into your home to install flooring or anything for that matter and if you let a Lowe's contractor into your home take a picture of them and their vehicle license, get all their names and watch them like a hawk. No one can be trusted. I live in a small rural area and treat people as a guest in my home. I even baked them cookies while they was there to snack on. I have not purchased one thing from Lowe's this year and will not be doing so in the future. I spent around $5000 at Lowe's last year but they will not get anymore of my business when they treat me like they have. This incident has left me with little faith in our society today and even less faith in honest businesses.

    On 3/10/17 at around 8:30 p.m. I was shopping in the Lowe's in Cape Coral Florida, store #0592, for chain link fence parts. The chain link section was a disorganized mess, it looked as if rabid Walmart shoppers had made a visit. I will never understand why people refuse to put things back where they found them. I needed two 10 foot chain link fence rails, there were about 6 in the slot for the item which were intertwined near the top of the slot, I chose one that was not bent and slipped it out from behind the others. As I turned to put the rail on the cart another pole fell and hit me on the top of the back of my head with the top end that came down from 10 feet in the air. I saw a few stars then realized what had happened. I had an instant good sized lump on my head and called my husband to let him know what happened in case the injury ended up being worse than I though and I needed to be driven home.

    I needed to finish so I got the second rail and the rest of the parts that I came for. Of course the bins/boxes were not stocked like the Lowe's website said so I searched on the upper shelves and found a box of the gate fork latches I needed and manage to get it off the shelf with a gate drop cane. There was no one out in the garden center to ask for help. They were getting ready to close at 9 p.m.

    I wish stores would be in full operation the hours they are open and if they need to close earlier to get the closing work done so be it. But to have a store not fully operating, and in Lowe's case, making it so customers are stranded with no help along with making it hard to get to the front of the store with long items through the maze of lawnmowers they bring in is ridiculous.

    I went to check out and stopped at the service desk to report the rail hitting me in the head and left my name and number in case I needed to see a doctor. I have a fear of doctors due to past abuse by them including misdiagnosis so I avoid them like the plague. But after thinking about what happened I decided to call Lowe's Customer Service and ask them if they could install something at the top of the rail slot to prevent a falling rail from hitting someone else and could they please relay my message to Lowe's Corporate Offices.

    Within a few hours I got a call from an UNKNOWN CALLER which was blocked by my call blocking phone, they called again immediately so I answered it suspecting it was Lowe's and not the usual scammer and I was correct. Why in the world would a corporation make a callback about a customer injury from a phone that says UNKNOWN CALLER? The landline telephone spam/caller ID situation in this country is an infuriating caustic mess. Costco and BJ's had CRF Frozen Foods, that sold them possible listeria tainted organic frozen vegetables, call customers with the product recall alert with no identifying caller ID.

    I called CenturylInk to see if they knew why and of course I would have to snail mail corporate with a caller ID complaint. I Googled the situation and found info about the lack of updating at the caller ID databases the phone companies use. According to that information if Lowe's does not have their local office number caller ID info blocked then they have not updated their caller ID info with the Telephone Companies and their database providers.

    Anyway, the caller was a woman, who sounded irritated, from the Cape Coral Lowe's wanting to know what she could do for me. I first let her know the caller ID said Unknown Caller and then I told her I had told the person at the call center for Lowe's Customer Service what I had wanted and repeated that it was for Lowe's to implement a safety feature, be it a PVC pipe, rope, chain, piece of wood, whatever the material, near the top of the rail slot so that no one else was hit in the head by a falling rail. I mentioned I had seen that implemented at another store for tall things that could fall on customers.

    She said there was a wire at the top of the slot and I told her it was not up when I was there, I had looked and did not see anything preventing the pole from falling and if there was something I could not see, well it did not work. She said she would make sure that the issue was taken care of in her store. Something more visible than a "wire" might help employees notice it needs to be put back into position if it needs to be removed during loading.

    It is really too bad society sees fit to allow the corporate conglomerates to continue to consistently operate at declining levels of performance, intellect and integrity while the costs we pay for these goods and services are on a steady increase, and in the meantime they have put so many of the smaller businesses, of which a fair amount use to provide customized service, out of business. Great world we live but hey everyone is suppose to be happy.

    Worst experience ever, bought a troy bilt lawn mower on 8/2016, I purchased a 1 year warranty plan, the lawn mower went bad on 2/2017. I take the lawn mower back thinking I will get a new one. The manager who was not very nice tells me that they can fix it for me but that they will not replace it, I said fine, he said it would take 1 week, I waited 2 weeks. This morning I got a call from them telling me that the lawn mower is ready for pick up and that it would be $ 91.00 dollars??? **, what is the point of purchasing the warranty? I'm so pissed off right now that I can blow a gasket just by looking at it, this is the worst experience that I have had with any store ever. I just basically got taken for a ride, lowes ripped me off. They robbed me out of $225 dollars. I told the gentleman that I will be there tomorrow and that they better have the manager ready.

    The point of this review is to let all of you Lowe's shoppers know how they treat their customers, be very careful when buying any items from these thieves - would hate for you to get robbed just like I DID... Worst store ever, will not even buy a bolt from these crooks... This was at the south tampa lowe's on dale mabry in tampa fl.

    In early February 2017 I paid Lowe's over $7700 for installation of a new shower, toilet, and bathroom floor. I didn't want to pay in advance but apparently that's the only way they do business. I was also asked to sign an open-ended contract (no start or completion dates) which I refused. They begrudgingly put a start date 10 days hence and a completion date 30 days after that. After they did the demo the toilet supply valve leaked. They promised me they would fix it but never showed up on the days promised. My wife and I had to empty a metal pan daily for 9 days. They keep promising they will show up to do the job but there is always an excuse why they can't come or just don't show up or call.

    I have my entire loft filled with boxes of tile, plumbing fixtures, shower door, cement, grout--now for nearly a month--the living room has the shower bench and more supplies, and the bedroom is full with stuff from the bath (laundry hamper, chest of drawers, toilet, etc). It has become clear to me that since they have already been paid in full, they are much more focused on new business rather than taking care of old. They promise everything but do nothing. I definitely would not deal with them.

    I purchased a new home on Oct 31, 2016, I need to have some upgrades so I went to my local Lowe's for help. I ended up buying almost 3200 sq feet of laminate flooring charged for the material and installation when the Contractors that contract with Lowe's Services Pro's made such a big mess. I have big gaps in the flooring, the grains do not run together. I have been battling with Lowe's for almost 3 months. I have even contacted the BBB and as of today the NC State Consumer Complaint.

    I would not recommend Lowe's Home Improvement for Flooring. Their Customer Services People are rude and will lie to you. The contractors are mostly Jacklegs, I have had to spend more money buying large rugs to hide the mess. After 3 months of making 2 house payments, 2 power bills, 2 water bills and 2 insurances, I had no choice but to move into my house before the work can be redone by real floor people. DO NOT USE LOWE'S, they are nothing more than thieves.

    I am a contractor who buys wood products on a daily basis. I went to Lowe's as it was close to the job I was working on. I had to get wood to finish the job, and this was my only option. There were so many knots in the wood it was barely usable. I spoke to the manager about it and he basically told me he didn't care. I stated I wasn't looking for a discount, but that they need to get their wood from somewhere else as the cost is high and the product is poor. I was told they weren't changing anything, and obviously didn't care what I had to say. He just had a nasty attitude. I would recommend going to a lumber store to get your wood products, and if that isn't an option, go to Home Depot.

    ******** NOTE TO APPROVER: https://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/lowes-home-improvement-lowes-home-centers-carpet-install-c851158.html ********

    So we purchase cheap Lowes carpet to install in my mother-in-law's finished basement. 600 square feet, easy job.

    The installers show up and I'm there to supervise. I take a vacation day off from work. Two guys, two separate trucks. I see padding, but no carpet. Hmm. So they rip out about 2/3rds of the old carpet and move furniture to the one remaining carpet side. They come upstairs and tell me they're going to pick up the carpet. Uhhhh ok...that's a half hour round trip wasted when you should have picked it up already, but whatever. An hour goes by and they're not back...uh oh. Two hours go by and they show up. Guess what? 'Uhhhhh the store messed up and they don't have your carpet in stock. They'll give you a call.' Ok genius....you had 3 materials to pick up and you only got two. Do you tear a roof off and then realize you don't have shingles? So after turning 9 shades of ticked off for an hour and a half, I spring into action. I go over to Modern Flooring America and make arrangements with them. They show me the carpet is in stock...awesome. So I go back to Lowes and go back to the flooring area. "Welcome to Lowes can I help you'. 'Yeah you can, because I'm pissed off'. I had their attention at that point. They try the pissed off customer BS of can we give you money back, blah blah blah. I told them, I want my money back in full...because if the job is this screwed up to begin with, I hate to see what the final install looks like. They give me a full refund in cash at the service counter.

    Now let's review how epicly bad they skrewed up:
    1. Didn't check the carpet inventory before starting the install.
    2. Tore up the carpet without considering #1 above.
    3. Didn't contact me to apologize.
    4. Didn't contact me to make arrangements for another carpet that was in stock (while the installers were still there).

    5. Absolutely no contact from the store until I walked in 4 hours later.

    The only saving grace is they left the pad in place. Not only did they do more damage than simply not doing anything at all...they simply didn't care.

    We had another bad carpet install from Home Depot last year so I wasn't going back to them. At least the Home Depot guy had enough brain cells to bring ALL the material when he came.

    I am writing you today in an effort to effectuate resolution to a two-year ordeal with your firm related to renovations and improvements at my family home in St. Petersburg, FL. Regrettably, actions directly attributable to your firm have not only created deep disappointment, they’ve also led to much of our family home bordering uninhabitable and definitively unusable. Equally as important, the cost of renovations and improvements was rather sizeable, the financial commitment made consumed the bulk of our family savings, not allowing us the option to pursue third party remediation of the damages caused by Lowe's.

    The investment one makes in a family home, as we’re all aware, is significant. As a veteran who is deployed for the second time in three years supporting US National Policy in Afghanistan, my resources are limited. The single point I’ve taken pride in is my commitment to my family and the ability to provide them a safe, secure and functional home while my peers and I serve our nation in the ongoing Fight against Tyranny and Oppression, raging across Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

    As a veteran and a current member of the fight, when selecting where to spend money, I look for companies that represent American Values. Lowe’s, where I have been shopping since I was a young man at my Grandfather’s side, seemingly embodied that Spirit. Much to my surprise, when problems arose, Lowe’s changed colors. I am confident that you are unaware of the manner in which Lowe’s has responded to my issues and that you will share in my disappointment when you do learn of this travesty.

    My nightmarish ordeal began on 12 April 2015, when, after lengthy discussions with Lowe’s Store 740 in St. Petersburg, we entered into an agreement and contracted with Lowe’s for nearly $66,000.00 worth of renovations and upgrades. Understanding how the contracting process works, we fully expected subcontractors to Lowe’s to perform most, if not all of the agreed to works.

    We fully expected that, given Lowe’s reputation and brand image, Lowe’s would use rigorous quality control and assurance measures to provide subcontractors that both meet your standards and address customer expectations. Sadly, your subcontractor has performed sub-standard work. Without going into the painstaking level of detail to delineate these concerns, your staff can review the attached evidentiary detail and arrive at their own determination. As well, Mr. Glenn ** from your Corporate Office in Mooresville has been engaged in our ongoing conversations and can provide incremental detail.

    My initial efforts at resolution were conducted with your local store personnel in St. Petersburg. When they opted not to resolve our concerns, we moved forward with retaining an attorney and ultimately seeking arbitration, in accordance with clauses included in our initial contract with Lowe’s. Nearly two years from the outset of this ordeal, I am left with a substantially unusable house, with my savings depleted, with no ability to pursue other means of repair and with my family attempting to function in a home plagued by damage caused by Lowe’s.

    In order to assure my families ability to sustain themselves on a good, but not great income; I have been forced to sever ties with my attorney and am now pleading with you, the CEO of a major, trusted American firm to intervene and assist. Rather than step up to doing the right thing, Lowe’s has resorted to obfuscation and deflection, punting the issue back and forth while I blow in the wind 8,000 miles away.

    I ask you to please review the details of my nightmarish ordeal with Lowe’s and assist in providing resolution. I understand that Lowe’s has the resources and the ability to defer and delay action indefinitely, while my family continues to suffer through the aftereffects of our decision to trust your firm. Bear in mind that our annual income represents mere seconds or possibly a few short minutes of Lowe’s revenues.

    My request is straightforward and simple, please help us, we put our trust and our life savings into the dream of having a beautiful home enabled by Lowe’s. We have, instead, experienced a two year nightmare that seems to have no end. Recall, Sir, hardworking, loyal and patriotic Americans like myself and my peers helped your firm grow from its roots in small town America to the retail powerhouse that Lowe’s has become today – please do not forget that those who made you great are the same individuals who help keep America great.

    This what I got back!!! "I understand your frustrations, however the issue is that we simply do not agree that items you are asking to be replaced to be warranted as replacement. I understand you want perfection, but a lot of the items you are stating that are not to satisfaction are not defective, but simply not to your liking. That makes a difference where I sit. I am talking with my supervisor this week, and am hoping to make a last offer to you in hopes we can resolve this issue. Best, Glenn ** |Claims Examiner | Risk Management Department"

    Mr. Niblock CEO, never responded!!! Don't ever just Lowes, they take your money and don't deliver!!!!

    If I could give this company zero stars I would. They are the worst, I've never in 50 years of my life dealt with a company of such disgrace. I purchased a stove for my daughter's new house along with the kit and installation. They claim they don't install in the 5 boroughs but sends the stove from Garden State Li. I did not purchase from this store and for well over 5 days calling with the promise of them coming to install what I already paid for. Now they tell me they don't come out it's a state law. Lies. There is nothing to state that companies do not install and then they keep charging my card 3 times for installation.

    They don't return phone calls and don't look for the manager from Garden State to respond. You'll have to call corporate office to get any satisfaction. I have never been so disgusted with a company before. Well I told them to come back and pick up their stove. DON'T SHOP AT LOWE'S! I would rather shop at a thrift store or 42nd street bus station before ever going to one of their stores again.

    On Feb. 24th, I went to the Baybrook store to purchase a washer and dryer. I had researched online and selected appliances that were available for delivery within a few days since my washer was not repairable and we had laundry piled up. The 3 personnel in the appliance area were all waiting for "Daniel" who apparently had the expertise to help me and others who were waiting. I was finally assisted by not by Daniel and delivery was set up for the next day. I received a call that night verifying time of delivery.

    Appliances were not delivered the next day. I called and was told that my delivery had been canceled because all the items were not available but that I would receive everything the next day. No delivery next day either. I called and the person I spoke with said she didn't understand why I was told what I was told because everything was on back-order until March 10th. She then tried to help but was unable to see other store's inventory on her system. She called stores for me and had a salesperson try to help but there were no appliances available for delivery before a date that wouldn't work for me. After all of this and an hour and 40 minutes on the phone, I received an email later that day saying everything was on back-order.

    Obviously, Lowe's ordering system is not efficient or user-friendly. The employees at the Baybrook store had trouble using it and/or were not trained to use it. All in all, a miserable experience. Needless to say, I canceled the order. Went to Home Depot and appliances were delivered within three days. I won't shop at Lowe's again.

    I am writing about Lowe's Protection Plan and the vendor they use for service in my area. The below timeline is a breakdown of what we have been dealing with in order to get our Samsung refrigerator fixed. Jan 25 fridge stops working, over $500 worth of groceries spoiled from fridge and freezer. Jan 26 called in need for repair, told it could be FOUR days before they could come out, complained about that and was offered loaner fridge but had to wait 2 days. Jan 28 loaner fridge delivered, groceries purchased to replace some of what was lost. Jan 30 repairman diagnoses problem and promises to order part and estimates a two-week turnaround. Repairman also diagnoses LOANER fridge as having no Freon, replacement groceries spoiled.

    Local Lowe's manager offers $100 cash to replace those groceries. New loaner fridge delivered. Feb 13 called to get status update, told, "It would be another two weeks for part to arrive." Feb 24 called multiple times for update, no answer. Feb 27 called for update and told, "An additional TWO WEEKS would be needed for part to arrive and service to be scheduled." We are tired of being told that we have to wait any more to get our fridge fixed. We live in a small home and this loaner fridge takes up the entire area where our kitchen table sits. Our kitchen table has been temporarily placed in our very small living room and it has been tight quarters for an entire month. It is frustrating and a major inconvenience.

    Our plan covers up to $300 in food storage but we lost far more than that seeing as how our fridge died right after a full grocery trip from Costco, add to that the days that we had to eat out because we couldn't prepare food from home and the fact that we have to continually purchase ice and bottled water because our own fridge is out of order and the loaner is not set up to dispense ice and water. This has been an expensive inconvenience for our family and I am disappointed in the lack of competence in the customer service of this experience. No one calls us to give us updates or follow up on promised dates. If we don't continue to call, this whole incident would go without follow up. We paid for this protection plan and we are not receiving what was promised to us, I am beyond disappointed with Lowe's Protection Plan!

    In June 2016 we gave Lowe's install program 73,000$ to renovate our kitchen. You must pay total amount for materials and contractor labor upfront. Project started 8/8/2016. 63,000$ for cabinetry. 17,000 labor. Cabinet delivery was missing cabinets, materials for project missing. Lowe's contract stated project does not start till everything needed on site. It is now march 2017. Still missing materials, double oven broken, fisher-Kyle dishwasher part thrown out. Stainless fridge doors dented. Contractor pulled carpenters off job for parts still missing. Millwork, microwave, trim still not installed. Same with microwave. There are $6000 of work we paid for that they didn't do and they refuse to reimburse us. Until we agree to take a settlement of 1100.00$ Lowe's refuses to finish.

    I was charged to convert cooktop to gas and to vent out my ceiling and roof. I have a Bosch electric induction cooktop. There are a plethora of labor and materials we got charged for but were never done in this house, I have voice recordings, video, copies of just bold faced lies by Lowe's install employees. It's march one and my kitchen is not finished. I gave them an itemized list of contracts, materials and labor. A Lowe's supervisor came took pictures, looked at contracts and saw the myriad of work never done and never to be done. Totals are $6,000.00+.unless we agree to take 1,100.00$ as a settlement for the work not done, lowe's will not finish this job.

    Garage is filled with materials delivered for this project in August. The contractors electrician actually took out the wrong existing light to be replaced with new lights. I have an ugly patch in my ceiling. Painting, trim, cabinets and granite countertop is over 1/4 inch too small. They patched in a small part of wood floors. Pic shows they are pink. Nail gun holes in floor. Spice cabinet next to sink. Numerous phone calls to move next to stove as planned. Installed wrong microwave correct one still in the garage chair rail not replaced. I have videos of the materials in the garage. Contracts showing what was not done and the amounts, and pictures of the missing cabinets that were to have been delivered in aug. 2016 and the drawings of cabinets installed in wrong place. There are many more issues.

    My wife and I started the ordering process for countertops through Lowe's in Dec 28, 2016... It is now Feb 27 2017 and I still do not have an install date. Every time I get a date for an install there always seems to be an issue. First it was the installer not submitting the templates to the manufacture, then the manufacture was "Out of Material" for 2 weeks. The last commitment was the install was going to happen on Feb 28, 2017, I just received word that the final product does not match the template... once AGAIN delaying the install. Since I was anticipating an install on Feb 28, I spent all day Feb 27 preparing and removing the old countertops to ensure a quick installation. Now I am left with a house with NO countertops for who knows how much longer. Along with all this... I have entered my local Lowe's 2 times now to discuss with the sales and assistant manager, along with several phone calls to the installer, my local Store and Customer Service.

    The only reason we are this far into the installation (if I can call it that) is because I have been on the phone with and speaking to people myself. I went into Lowe's for them to be the contractor and I am the one that is pushing things along. I paid in Full on this and all I have to show is a torn apart kitchen and my frustration with Lowe's. I use to be a fan of Lowe's. I shopped at my store every weekend and this has really put a bad flavor in my mouth. I am being honest that I have started to shop at Home Depot for now on. I will be remodeling several other parts of my house in the near future and Lowe's will not get that Business... I also do side work for a local Restoration company and we will not be buying our materials and/or tools from Lowe's.

I was asked by sales associate what day I would like set up and I told her Monday and she said someone would call to verify day and time within 24 to 48 hours. As of Sunday I had heard from no one until I contacted them by phone and at the store. No resolve has been made, I still have no setup date, however my charge had been billed for an appliance and services that I have not received. I am extremely disappointed in my overall experience, and I doubt I will purchase another appliance from there.

    First the Employees of Lowe's, and the contractors do and are very good. My issue is with POLICIES at Lowe's, and also with how Brenda ** of Lowe's is making up lies about what was or was not said. First of all my input is to help Lowe's bottom line. So I nicely asked that the Top Shareholders, CEO, and Board of Directors be included in on the contact email I first sent. Why? Because the issue not just at my local store level these issues are found. Brenda ** explained that her office is the direct support to the CEO and such. That any sent information is always available to the upper levels of the company. This failed to meet my expected results, and I was NOT hoping to just have my information filed. Brenda ** then decides to only contact the store local to me. She sends me a typical - "We took care of it", no go away type of email contact back.

    The issues are: Information that is supposed to be included in any Remodel Project Folder is not in the folder at all. THE CONTRACTORS ALL STATED THAT NO MATTER WHAT LOWE'S STORE THE CONTRACT THROUGH IS ALWAYS THE SAME. That means Brenda ** this issue will happen at the 1839 out of 1840 stores. Let me guess, you plan to actually contact each store one at a time and correct this issue. In effect LOWE'S makes a verbal contract and PROMISE that the Project Folder will contain detailed directions for EACH contractor to use.

    EXAMPLE: Electrician - Move Thermostat as close to the door molding as possible. Separate the double switch box into two single boxes. One for the double switch, and the other for the GFI outlet as close to the door molding under the thermostat. Or move the GFI outlet to the wall 10 inches up from the backsplash of the sink to the right. Plumber: Move the left most sink input pipe 4 inches to the right. Bringing it next to the cold water input pipe under the sink. This will allow for the 84 inch tall cabinet to be installed. Cabinet Installer: Install 3 inch filler to the left of the 84 inch cabinet and install to left wall. ETC. for all contractors. The actual folder has: Move outlet. Install cabinet. Install cabinet. (Two cabinets.)

    Several contractors got the wrong information and could only go off of their work orders. All the while the folder that Lowe's promised us to have all the same details WE the customer wanted done would 100% be in that folder. That is a breach in contract, or failure to provide what was promised. Brenda ** seems to be happy making up conversations and situations that just did not happen. When Brenda mentioned Jodi canceled what Brenda stated was a solution to our toilet issue. Management had told us that we could select another toilet at no additional cost.

    However, as soon as I told Brenda we have the entire conversation recorded on the phone... She immediately without missing a beat claims that only Jodi was told in the store. Brenda ** here is a little secret - We both go to Lowe's when we go. So oddly enough, that in store conversation did not take place as you claim it did. Here is what was told us while we selected our products: If any of the products have any defects during warranty period Lowe's will replace that at no cost. This was BEFORE we started the project. OK so normal defect issues would be handled within WARRANTY only. At no time did we get any offer to replace our toilet at no cost. In fact as we have recorded - we are told we will pay for the install.

    The issue with the toilet: A day after install it clogs. We try our plunger it is a round one not able to fit the keyhole in the new toilet. So we go to Lowe's and they have no idea what plunger to use. I buy a 3 foot toilet snake, that did not clear the clog. We are a little upset at the fact we cannot just unclog a stupid toilet. And, that Lowe's where we bought it was not able to help. Turns out all 1840 Lowe's stores would not know what proper plunger to use. As they do not sell them. So while at Lowe's the employee we talked to showed us an American Standard toilet called CLEAN. We decided we would be OK to pay the price difference between the one we have, and this new one. AT NO TIME DOES STORE MANAGEMENT OR ANYONE ELSE TALK TO US ABOUT THIS ISSUE Brenda **.

    So when we arrive home Jodi calls the contractor number and speaks with Richard ** and he tells her they can install the different toilet, with us having to cover the install fee. No mention of the fee amount was mentioned... On recorded calls. In the same time frame: I contact KOHLER, and write a review on GOOGLE MAPS Lowe's and Korky plumbing repair contacts me several days later. They rush deliver us a BEEHIVE MAX Plunger by Korky... It works as promised, and so Jodi calls to cancel the toilet change now that we can clear clogs.

    We like the original toilet we had first installed, the only issue was no means to clear a clog. Richard has no issue with us keeping the same toilet. Little details: The top of the Onyx shower surround was not sealed. Sliding door hardware was not put on for several weeks. Also: to have Brenda ** in effect called me a liar when I mentioned that we were told the project for our bathroom would take once started would take 7 to 10 BUSINESS DAYS. It seems that Brenda ** rather not provide the expected customer service, and try to do all she can to make LOWE'S look as good as possible, in case I do contact the Federal Trade Commission. Brenda ** trivializes the importance of what I am trying to share by not doing at least the bare minimum I ask to happen.

    Share this with Lowe's CEO, top shareholders, and others that need to see it. Instead, I am told my issues are on file for them to look at whenever. Brenda ** We have decided to NOT use Lowe's for any future projects with your company. TODAY 2-27-2017 We are having our living room window, and patio door replaced and upgraded. I am sure you do not care in way or another, but it is NOT with Lowe's. I know Lowe's has over 800 million customers a year. So what I share is well within reality. 1 single customer for a project: $11,000. I know it's funny how small that seems compared to the near $60 billion annually make. Now let's open your eyes to what one customer can do. Lowe's has 1840 stores. Multiply $11,000 by 1840. That is one single customer at each store with an $11,000. How much in one day does this equal? $20,240,000 for one day.

    Now, when you are as BIG as Lowe's thinks it is... I imagine some people working for Lowe's think it cannot fail. Let's take $20,240,000.00 and multiply by 364 that is how many days Lowe's is open in a year. You get: $7,367,360,000.00. That is one single customer at just a tiny $11,000 taking that money someplace else every day. This is what is going on and more, something that Lowe's with the help of Brenda ** of the executive offices is going to continue to miss out on. And this is ONLY one customer a day. And, Lowe's has over 800 million that shop, this must make the CEO and shareholders feel invincible.

    I will not tolerate such horrid customer service from any company. And, when I take the time to help a company be able to fix issues system wide, and all it gets is someone dead set on covering up bad promises, and poor communication with HE SAID SHE SAID garbage is the last straw. I did ask that if Lowe's felt they wanted to make things a little better would be take 35% off of our project total cost. And, if they wanted to go the extra mile, they at their option could take off 50%. Personally, keep it Lowe's. It is apparent that they need it more than we do. With me being a crippled man, in a wheelchair with mental disabilities.

    We understand delays, and we understand lack of knowledge. However, Product knowledge about what products do or work or support each other are things that come from the top down. Say Merchandising pays attention to the little details. Toilets will plug or clog. What do most people use to correct this problem? A plunger. What about ordering a cabinet that on the floor model has shelves, and when you get yours it has no shelves. Then it takes not just a few days, not even a month... Nearly two months since our project, and Brenda ** has the nerve to say our shelves will be here MARCH 6th, when we had been told by the contractors Feb 23 or sooner. Brenda has the nerve to claim that store management considers everything for our project in acceptable time.

    I am so glad that Brenda ** can decide what is or is not acceptable time or not for us. And, this is hardly as big an issue. Brenda claims she told merchandising about the plunger company, and proper product. And, that she supposedly fixed the issue at my local store. What happens to all the 1839 other stores? She stated that bathroom remodel would not be done in 7 to 10 days with a complete tear out. The bathroom needed NO SUB-FLOOR repair or work. It is a tiny bathroom, one or barely two people could work in it at one time. I personally thank Brenda ** for convincing me, I will not use Lowe's again. I certify that this review is based on my own experience and is my genuine opinion of this business, and that I have no personal or business relationship with this organization.

    Bought a Lennox system from Lowe's and have had nothing but problems from day one. We were sold the units being told that they would upsize them to heat/cool the house. Have been back and forth with Lennox rep and installer for months to find out that what Lowe's said the units could do for us, really isn't the truth at all. We spent almost $14,000 for Lennox units to heat and cool our home to find out that the ductless units can only heat and cool one room, that the head is in. So $14,000 to heat and cool 4 rooms and I still need to replace my boiler because I have no heat in the front of the house due to bad engineering and sales. When contacting Lowe's and asking for my money back and the units taken out, they offered me $2000 and a 10 year warranty on the units, which no one will put in writing until I agree to keeping the units. Really if I knew this, I would have replaced my boiler for all the money I spent on these units.

    Every time installer and rep was at my home, they would pull the manual out and read from it, well I can do that. Shows you they know nothing about the product they are selling at all. The remote is to go up to 26 feet of the head. Well it doesn't work up to 26 feet like it says. The units won't even turn on if you move the remote/thermostat 26 feet. The remote has to be within a few feet of the unit, which means once that room gets to the temperature, it shuts off, leaving the other rooms cold/hot depending on if you are running the heat/AC. They also give you a holder for the remote to hang on the wall, but we are told the remote needs to be pointed at the unit and within a few feet. When I asked the rep why they give you a holder, I was told it's storage for when it's not in use. Really. When running AC last summer, the one side of the house was very humid.

    I called Lennox directly and was told the unit was undersized for the conditions. They said the installer didn't take into consideration the fact that, that side of the house gets hit by the sun from sunrise to sunset. When I told the installer what Lennox said, I was told they are wrong and they upsized the units. I have been patient for months, missing work for Lowe's and Lennox to come to our home to try and fix the issues, but got nowhere except the units are working the way they should because no one can figure out what's really going on. They have even replaced the boards in the units, because they said the TV'S are interfering with the frequency. Now they moved the sensors to the top of the units, which is an eye sore, and when asked to put the sensors back because I don't like that you can see them, was told it's in my best interest to keep them there.

    Well that tells me there are issues with the unit because that's not where they belong, but I'm being told the units are working the way they should be. When contacting Lowe's with all information and emails I have, about units not working properly, they offer me $2000, what a slap in the face. Lowe's doesn't even back what they are selling.

    What a pleasant surprise we had when purchasing a new refrigerator from Lowe's (on sale to boot!). My husband was asked if he is a veteran. He is. The store then gave us an additional 10% discount, on top of the sale price. How delightful! And how wonderful that Lowe's recognizes the sacrifices veterans made to serve their country by giving them this small but meaningful token of appreciation. THANK YOU LOWE'S!

    I prefer Lowe's to Home Depot despite having to travel 10 miles rather than the one mile to Home depot. I have had a credit card for many, many years I never once missed paying and NEVER paid the minimum balance. After being the victim of an individual taking out multiple cards and destroying my credit, Amazon, Home Depot, Target, Bank of America and Visa have all restored my credit yet Lowe's refuses to do so. I have a several thousand dollar project I would like to use Lowe's for and have 6,000 in cash and only need a 500 dollar raise in my credit they lowered to 300, when it was 1500. They haven't answered my request but I decided to buy the wood from depot and discontinue all business with Lowe's.

    On January 18th I arrived at the Pgh Mills Lowes and ordered granite countertops for my kitchen. I was contacted several days later by a company called BC Stone. A week after that a man came out and measured our existing countertops and said we are LEVEL and ready to go. I was contacted by BC Stone after this and was told we were on the schedule for February 22. The men who were to place my countertops were very kind and pleasant. However according to them one of our cabinets were off a quarter of an inch and they were unable to lay the countertop. They took my countertops back to BC Stone with them. I was highly confused as we were told by the man that did our template from BC Stone that were were LEVEL. We had a contractor come out last night and level the cabinet.

    I called BC stone today and was told by Lori that they are 2 weeks out. Being a parent of 2 young children that is unacceptable to me. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was transferred to TRAVIS. He is the owner of the company and is the RUDEST person I have ever had to deal with. I introduced myself and started to explain my situation when he did nothing but interrupt me telling me he needs to talk. I asked that I would like his company to be at my home today or tomorrow with the countertop I spent thousands on dollars on. I said "I am subject to your $75.00 fee that I will be paying" and wanted him to work me in the schedule. He told me he already wasn't making enough money off of me being that it was purchased thru Lowes so he is already out money and even by me paying his $75.00 fee he will still not be making enough money off my transactions to cover the cost of sending his guys back out.

    He told me that he did not appreciate me wasting his guys time by not following the instructions that Lowes should have explained to me and that it was not his fault LOWES did not explain the process in full. I now have have to wait 6 days for them to return with my countertops. This is 6 days with 2 little ones and NO working kitchen sink. I have worked in customer service for 20 years and have never EVER been talked to like that in my life. After telling Travis I will be contacting Lowes with my concerns he told me he has half a mind to tell me to wait 2 weeks for my countertops as like he is holding my countertops for ransom. I am VERY dissatisfied with the way I was treated by Travis. Being I am the customer it is not my fault the money he makes off of Lowes transaction is not enough money for him.

    I used to choose Lowe's over Home Depot because of the customer service that Lowe's "used" to offer. But the last couple of times... especially yesterday 2-17-2017 I got so mad I stormed out of the door. Back on June 2, 2016, I purchased a replacement First Alert Smoke Alarm; this particular model does not come with an exchangeable battery, it comes with a built-in 10 year battery - part of the product, you cannot replace or fix. The smoke alarm failed a couple of months ago. The battery was dying and I had this endless chirp chirp chirp I had to deal with. It was also the same time I had a bi-lateral mastectomy. Not a good time to deal with trying to get the dang thing replaced by Lowe's.

    Finally yesterday, I remembered that I needed to get the smoke alarm replaced. I have 2 others in the house, but this one was between the kitchen and the living room. I was not completely unprotected, but I didn't 100% safe either. Could not find the receipt, but found the basic instructions and off to Lowe's I went. I was greeted by TWO customer service reps and they both grabbed the instruction booklet (at the same time I may add) and began to read to me the part about... "batteries are NOT part of the warranty". Wait a minute! I am not an idiot and know this as a general rule, however the battery INSIDE this item was not removable or replaceable. This is not the standard 9 volt smoke alarm. They continue to tell me... "it is not Lowe's policy to EXCHANGE or REFUND because of the battery failure inside the unit and according to the Instructions, the manufacturer will not replace it either."

    I told them they better put a notice on the display for all these smoke alarms because they don't sell just the 9 volt older model - only electrical or these 10 year life units. They said they have not had any complaints or attempted returns. Continuing with... "we can't do anything for you today." The conversation got a little more heated, but I can tell you... there is NOTHING at Lowe's I wish to purchase anymore and will definitely tell everyone I know about the horrible service. In the meantime, I have to contact First Alert directly to see what they will do about this $30, 6 month old useless smoke alarm.

    We are very disappointed with our shopping experience thru the Lowe's store located in Keizer Oregon. Our first order for Midgrade windows with grids was made in the store last October. It is took about three weeks to receive our windows. We are paid for the rental truck to deliver windows. When windows were delivered to our house we are realize that this is wrong and cheaper windows without grids... We didn't accepted this order and then decided to cancel it because the weather was already getting cold and our time and money were lost...

    Then about three month later we decided to make an order on Lowe's website with a hope that maybe this time the customer service will do their job more professionally... But to our disappointment we were wrong... The windows were delivered to our house were WRONG again. This time I don't want to cancel our order but requesting a compensation for at least some losses: our time, our money we paid for rental truck to deliver windows and receiving our windows with the grids as soon as possible to finish our house projects. But so far the customer service are making unprofessional excuses and blaming Milgard company for all the problems instead of taking all the responsibility's and fix a problem to satisfied and help the customer in current situation... I hope Lowe's Customer Service will take my complaint to their attention and act to help us and improve their service to customers. Thank you.

    March 2015 We went to Lowe's (Sayre, PA) to get some expert advice on cabinets, countertop, backsplashes, lighting, flooring, sink, faucet etc. for a 11' X 9' kitchen. (We also got a 28" cabinet, quartz vanity top and fixtures for a small bathroom as well). We were keeping our appliances. Only needed an over the stove vent and microwave and ended up getting a combination unit. The idea that someone would be overlooking this project, being able to size it all correctly and that it would be done in 3-4 weeks was very appealing. The cost of all of this was about $25,000.00. Higher than we thought it would be but we agreed. We did opt to save some money to do the demolition work (take out the old cabinets, the old Formica countertop etc.).

    The work started - first the cabinets which we have adjusted to but were disappointing at first because they are white, showed gaps and some had flaws. (They are not really customed made). These were replaced. And some changes were made because it did not "look right." The counter top we liked but made a change to have a partial (4") backsplash instead of going directly to the wall. The backsplash we chose to go with the countertop we replaced as well because it did not "look right".

    The flooring we liked except that it was done poorly and many of the tiles were uneven - ridges. These were corrected for the most part. There is still some minor unevenness. We changed some of the unpicked parts such as the pieces that go in the doorways to connect the flooring with the carpet of the other rooms - an industrial looking piece of metal was changed for a wood piece which looks much more fitting than the cheap look that was initially done.

    The painting job was also not the best, or even a finished look. We took care of some of the unfinished paint work that was left because we did not trust it to be done correctly anyway. The measurement of the cabinet above the stove which was also to fit the microwave/vent unit was completely off. The microwave was a pan size away from the stove. It looked ridiculous and it was argued about that it was close to the approved distance required. We were angry about this and it was all changed. We had to point out a lot of things in order to have it done to our liking otherwise it would probably have been left as done. The job started at the last week of May 2015 and was not complete or unusable until August 2015. (So much for 3-4 weeks).

    The vanity cabinet was also the incorrect pick and we had to wait for this. The people that did the work - we believe that the main persons were OK (knew their stuff) but their sidekicks were not up to par. At the end the cost was around $30,000.00 plus total. Your team had come to inspect the final project - they knew and sensed that we were not that satisfied but had us sign off. What could we do? We were ready to get on with our life and knew that our dissatisfaction with the job (in particular - the painting and the unfinished look) was not going to be remedied by you.

    It is now the beginning of 2017 (about 2 years). There is a small crack in one of the tiles of the floors which we had checked out by you but the consensus was something dropped on it. We have no recollection of such an event. The floor to us we feel has a slight unevenness (? subflooring) to it but to replace a tile (we have replacements) may make the floor look more like a botch job so we are leaving it alone. We hope it does not get any worse. The Delta faucet, the fixture to the sink, had started leaking after a year and was replaced by you. It started to leak again this past month. I called Lowe's Feb. 1, 2017 was told to call the installation team 877-505-4923. They were going to call someone to help us with this issue. I was told we should get a call in 24 hours. None came. Called again Feb. 3, 2017 - same deal - no response from any help.

    I did manage to get a number for Delta (1-800-345-3358). Called them. They sent us a cartridge for free - we watched their video and managed to put the cartridge in and the faucet seems to be working again. Our complaints are the cost for a kitchen that does not look like a $25,000-$30,000.00 job. (Note again - this did not include any appliances.) Also not sure of the system - first you get a designer who is finished with you once it all starts going unless you have to order something, then a coordinator who you barely see and these people change around and you have to email because you can't get on the phone. And probably if you sign off which is required when the job is "finished" they are finished with you and you can no longer complain. A kitchen should last for a number of years without any problems. We are a senior age couple and not very hard on anything.

Today, I see a late fee. Nothing but incompetence on their end.

Finally at 7:00 PM Thursday I went to the store to inquire about the washer I had purchased. The lady at the returns desk told me the washer delivery had been rescheduled on Wednesday for 02-28-2017. That's 19 days from now???

    I wasn't rude to the guy from their delivery department when he called on Tuesday so am dumbfounded why they would do this. Looks like someone has a personal grudge against me. Well I canceled the order and got the charges reversed and went online and purchased the same washer from HomeDepot.

    I purchased a home in Tappahannock Virginia in the Spring of 2016. Needing improvements at my new home before moving in, I went to the local Lowe's who sent a Project Coordinator to my home on 5/3/16. We agreed to improvements in my kitchen to include a new floor, countertops, sinks, etc. and sliding glass doors for three baths. The job was over $12,000. I was expecting professional, trained workers for this price. The job was estimated to take 3 days, to this day it is not done. On the date agreed upon 6/9/16 a crew of 4 men arrived, one supervisor and three helpers. This "crew" consisted of different untrained workers who admitted that they had never done some of this work before, and a supervisor, he stated "it's OJT, it's how they learn", they complained about being paid $10.00 an hour.

    They would arrive around 11:00 a.m. and leave around 2 or 3 p.m. Between the lunch and numerous cigarette breaks (leaving butts in my driveway, or crushing them out on the bricks) this was far from what I was sold in the contract. I had to go to my old home and pack it up, so I left the "crew" expecting to return to a finished job. To the gentleman who was told you had to oversee the job, not true, they had my key and worked while I was gone. When I returned I could not believe what I found. There were muddy cinder blocks on the counter to hold the backsplash in place, a round bar sink sitting in a square hole (no water), main sink had caulking slopped all around the countertop, no water.

    When I turned on the water it poured out of the bottom, caulking all around countertop, was running down the backsplash. My new refrigerator was in the formal dining room with dents in the refrigerator and scratches on my floor. (They sent the night manager's brother-in-law over to sand the scratches and put polyurethane which left shiny dark spots.) My custom cabinet over the refrigerator was torn out and when replaced left a space and they covered it with trim made of Styrofoam covered with contact paper (not the same color). The kitchen floor was not put down correctly. It had a bump and when walked on it was like walking on a plank board. My solid oak trim is replaced with unfinished pine. I was told to stain it myself. Lowe's sent store personnel to see this mess, and they agreed it was "sloppy" to say the least.

    I will not list the other things because I will go on and on. I will say that during the entire job it was a no call, no show from Lowe's. The Project Coordinator now would not return my calls, they would say they would be here and I just waited and waited most of the time, never showed. Part of the same "crew" was sent to fix what they had botched (two were fired by now). You can't get something from someone that has no idea what they are doing. I did go to Corporate Support and that ended with a certified letter from the Vice President of Store Operations, who I am sure does not know the whole story. They are sorry they were unable to meet my needs and their final resolution was a $500 offer to get the final things done myself. Oh and I had a deadline so they could close my file. It was insulting and hurtful to me. I am a senior citizen and all I wanted was Lowe's to get my home back the way they found it.

    I don't want cheap materials, or sloppy cover up repairs. I just want it back the way it was before they came. If Lowe's had of told me I was NOT going to get licensed professional people to do my work at the cost of $12,000, I would have never hired them. "If there is any problem at all, or if you are not satisfied for any reason, Lowe's will make it right, 100% Guaranteed." This if false advertising. Last I heard was to take their $500 to put down the kind of trim they tore up at the beginning. They want to close my file.

    I went in looking for wallpaper remover and they said they didn't sell any. I checked online and that location had it in stock. Several times this has happened. Educate these employees. They are always just standing around. Way too many workers.

    In October I purchased a dishwasher from Lowe's. In December it quit - after the store warranty expired. I called GE and they sent their repairman. He ordered a part that did not arrive before Christmas. All events in my home were off! After New Year’s the part finally arrived - but did not solve the problem! Another part was ordered with another wait! Finally it arrived - but again did not solve the problem! Another part was ordered. My kitchen has parts everywhere but 1 month later - still no dishwasher! Today I went to the store and spoke with Eddie **. He went beyond the call of duty and took the responsibility that belonged to GE and exchanged it! THANK YOU LOWE'S!!! You have my loyalty!!!

    This picture rather says it all... And if you like 3, not 1, not 2, but THREE lost orders, non-deliveries, missing 2 days of work to receive a scheduled delivery when they never showed up, and 5 different stories to appease you from 5 different employees looking up your order, then Lowe's is the place to go.

    On 11/27/16 we purchased a suite to replace our kitchen appliances. It is now 1/17/17 and we are still waiting for our dishwasher install. We know for a fact (our son works at the store part-time) that our dw has been sitting in the store since we purchased it, with our name on it! The fridge was delivered about 3 weeks after we purchased it, the microwave installed about 6 weeks after, and the range delivered two days ago!

    This is all unacceptable, especially after my husband went to the store early January and met with the store mgr., who was very nice and apologized and apologized! This morning we finally got a call from an installer who said he could not install the dishwasher until 1/27- that is 60 days after its purchase! We have been told that Lowe's now out-sources its delivery and install, well guess what Lowe's, it does not work!!! I have made 2 payments on appliances I still do not have yet! Crazy!!!

    Long Time Shopper Leaving - I have been shopping at this store, since 2006. I was sooo in love with this store! I felt like everyone in there was my "buddy." I would go there sometimes just to "feel good" because of my love for home decorating & restoration. However, on January 14th, my husband and I went there to purchase a washing machine & dishwasher. The appliance salesman did the order fine with delivery Monday (holiday, we're home). Since I didn't have my Lowe's card, he had me to go to customer service. The CSR there, obviously, had no clue that there was an 18 month no finance sale (Dear Store Manager, it is important your employees know what's going on in the store.). She called to get my card number to charge us, and asked me if I wanted 5% off or 6 months financing, which is standard.

    I had the huge flyer in hand on the counter, and I kindly raised it up and said, "isn't it 18 months no financing??" She looked baffled and confused, hit a button on the register and mistakenly put the sale through. "Dang it," she said, because she did not do the 18 months financing. I then had to wait about 30-40 minutes for the appliance gentleman to put the order through and cancel the original one.

    On Monday morning, after not receiving a call the day before, I call to inquire about delivery. Once the order was found by the woman on the phone, she stated it was put through to a delivery on Wednesday with an old telephone number. I even said to the CSR, who messed up the order, "do you need me to go back there to make sure it's right?" She said no he would put it in the same. I checked, "with delivery Monday?" "Yes." On top of that, I now have a fraud charge on my account that went through today. So, I can only guess that CSR had something to do with it. My account number was never said aloud, and I had the piece of paper with the number. Maybe another guest copied it? I will no longer shop at this store, which saddens me. Totally, the opposite over 10 years ago.

    We ordered a whole kitchen - microwave, French door refrigerator and a stove 1st of November, was supposed to be delivered before Thanksgiving. They called the day before said it wasn't going to arrive. They've been putting this off. It is now the 12th of January, now they tell us we won't get it until 20th of January. We've been put off for 3 months, I'm very unhappy. Lowe's won't do anything to make it any better, nothing comparable, we just have to wait. I think this is unacceptable.

    When I purchased my riding lawn mower, I was told that it would cover routine maintenance and transportation to and from the repair shop. When I called to scheduled maintenance, I was told that it would only cover mechanical and electrical issues, except a dead battery, a flat tire, the carburetor, or anything that the plan administrator deems to be caused by abuse or misuse. Basically, they are taking your money and giving for nothing.

    I have always bought my appliances from Best Buy but the washer and dryer set I wanted was on sale at Lowe's so I bought them and the protection plan. My washer went out mid December and I called immediately to schedule service. It takes 7 to 10 days before anyone comes out and then, the repair folks are lowest bidder I'm sure, and they show up realize they need parts (Duh that's why we give you a detailed description of the problem) then the repair has to be approved by Lowes, then they order the part. Bottom line I will be without a washer for almost 5 weeks before they fix it. I have 5 people living in my house... That's ridiculous. When I call Best Buy for service it's usually fixed within 3 to 5 business days! Stay away from Lowe's appliances and their protection plan.

    Went to Lowe's with my daughter to purchase a new electric downdraft cooktop. When we got to the appliance dept we looked over the cooktops with not one employee in sight. When we decided to purchase one we liked, we found a man in the appliance section sitting at his desk. He was there the entire time and never once offered assistance to us. I asked him to come and help and the attitude he gave us was deplorable. He was negative and disinterested.

    We left the store and decided to buy the cooktop online instead which we did. We ordered the cooktop on 1/2/17 and as of 1/12/17 we still have not heard a word on when our cooktop will arrive. Item has not even shipped yet and I have guests coming to visit me next week. I have no way to cook. I am completely disappointed in Lowe's and will never buy anything from them again. I will buy all my appliances from Best Buy because I have had nothing but positive experiences when shopping there. I am willing to give Lowe's the opportunity to make this right, but if I have no cooktop by the time my guests arrive, I am done with them. Will not however buy another appliance through them.

    Visiting Show Low, AZ from our home state of Maine, and showed my state drivers license with my Veterans Insignia for the veteran's discount. The clerk refused to give me the discount or to even look at my drivers license and said I needed a DoD veterans ID card. I served in Vietnam some 40 years ago and I was not issued a veterans ID card. In my hometown the Lowe's accepts the state drivers license with the veterans insignia because they require a DD214 for proof to add the designation on your drivers license.

    I called Lowe's and they told me this was company policy and they would not even accept a copy of my DD214 as proof of service. I am deeply disappointed that Lowe's will no longer honor a veteran's service. We just bought a house here and are preparing to spend money on new flooring and appliances. Too bad for Lowe's, but the Home Depot across the street accepts the drivers license with the military insignia. I have asked Lowe's senior management to address this with a reply to my email. Hope I get a positive response. Signed: A Vietnam Veteran.

    No Service on GE products in my location of Celina, Tennessee 38551. Washer-Dryer GE GTUP270EMWW - bought 2013 a stacked washer and dryer

    Lowe's delivered at that time was satisfactory. This fall the washer stopped spinning. I called Lowe's for repair. The company they gave me does service my zip code of 38551. Called them back that I had received a notice to reup my warranty but before I did I called the Lowe's Protection Plus number to find out that no they didn't have a repair person in my area. I should check the local advertisement for someone. I did and found Sears, called them - guess what - no service in my area either. Maybe if I called the Nashville store they might have someone. Can't believe GE or Lowe's can sell a product that they can't provide service people.

    I'm sick to my stomach that we've been giving Lowe's great business over the years, including remodeling our kitchen two Weber grills (one for our son in law).

    We bought a Samsung refrigerator 2013 almost immediately we had a loud (very) noise. We've had multiple calls, repairs since. We spent $1500 on a lemon of which Lowe's will not stand behind and replace. I have had refrigerators that I didn't have one problem with over a period of years. I will not be back to Lowe's! Just the reviews alone at this point is convincing enough it's a lemon!

    Of course after buying a washer from Lowe's, the electronics didn't work. Then reordered another, was damaged to the external legs of the machine. And lies about when it could be delivered. Salesman said next day. Took 2 weeks combo of both incidences. Eventually cancelled and went to hhgregg that did a great job. And I notified the Better Business Bureau.

    Now, my daughter who didn't know of this incident buys me a snowblower from Lowe's for Christmas. A $700 item. I didn't even have to put gas in it yet to see that the crank that turns the chute doesn't fit appropriately and doesn't complete a full turn. For this money, that snowblower should be working perfectly. So going to return this crap. Further entries to be placed, since I'm sure I'm going to get a hassle with returning this thing. I'm so sick of Lowe's. Can you do anything right? Just got back from Lowe's... Very impressed with the lack of hassle in returning the snowblower. I guess they perfected the return department.

    Bought a Maytag washer July 19th 2016. It has been serviced over 10 times, rebuilt by the service tech, still doesn't work properly. Lowe's of Dalton always puts the blame on someone else but if I wouldn't have been made to wait 2 weeks on the first call I would have received another washer in the beginning but due to waiting for a repair guy I'm still without a washer almost 6 months later. I have been transferred over and over with no answers still as of today January 5, 2017. Never again will I buy an appliance from Lowe's or MAYTAG.
