    Bought a 10 pound of bird seed about a month ago along with 2 $45.00 feeders and a 30 pound of sunflower seeds and a galvanized trash can to put the seed in. I filled the feeders and put the both types of seeds in a galvanized trash can and shut the lid. The feed never left my garage. Yesterday I got the seeds out of the trash can to fill up the feeders and the bird seed was black and smelled very bad. The sunflower seeds were fine.

    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. I did not have a receipt of purchase after having these items for about a month. Never had the problem in the past. I am done with Lowe's and their employees. I will never go to any of their stores ever again. I have been a loyal customer for several years and that is how I was treated.

    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 really would like to do business with your company as it is so close to home, but I am really thinking I will drive to Macon to Home Depot next time and see if they need my business more. We are about to start an addition to our house in late summer and am sad about this experience due to not wanting to shop here anymore.

    Lowe's Waco, TX. Made order online for fencing supplies that would not go thru. Had to contact the store and some prices came out more expensive by $2 each. I was shorted 3 items upon delivery. The order included 255 cedar pickets and Lowe's sent me 45 pickets that had already been marked with a pencil scribble that had splits in each picket. I had so much hassle with the delivery, refund, not getting a receipt, etc. I am not using Lowe's again. They have 50% customer service. They create most of their own problems because of lack of attention to detail in the order and quality of products.

    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.

    Carpet is less than 6 months old and now has a 2 inch hill in the middle of the room. Was definitely installed incorrectly (not stretched correctly) and I have tried to contact them multiple times. When finally it got beyond one year, they claimed that they were no longer obligated to fix the problem. This carpet is in a room that has been used/walked on less than three times in a year. I will now have to pay for the carpet to be re-stretched at my expense.

    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. We are living like hoarders with stuff all over our house while they don't work and don't care.

    I remodeled my kitchen. I went to Lowe's for a kitchen cabinets. At the time of order I showed the clerk a picture of the apron sink I wanted for the kitchen and she showed me the cabinet I would need. I agreed and she placed it on order. I placed my order and received the cabinets. My contractor installed the cabinets. I did not receive the apron sink base cabinet as ordered. What I received was a standard base sink cabinet. I called Lowe's and was informed I did not order it. Strange thing I received the legs for the apron based sink cabinet.

    The granite countertop she recommended Tri State. I went there and placed my order. On Good Friday the rep from Tri State came and did the template for the granite countertop. On Monday I got a call from Tri State on a measurement issue. I told them to contact the rep. On Thursday my son called Tri State to inquire when the install would occur. We were told to call Lowe's and have the measurement issue resolved. We called Lowe's. It cost me an additional $180.00 for a slight overhang. I paid over $4000.00 for the granite. Now to be charged this additional amount is an insult. Not only is this unethical unacceptable business practice. I would highly recommended that no one should purchase kitchen cabinets from Lowe's or go to Tri State for granite countertops.

    I have used Lowe's for over 2 decades as a native North Carolinian. I signed up for online billing. Over and over, I never received a statement so each month I paid the $25 late fee. This was on one of their '6 month financing programs'. So out of curiosity, since I had not received a bill, I went online and almost fell over. 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?

    They gouge people by luring them into these 'no interest schemes', deliberately don't send the electronic bill, then pop on these outrageous interest charges. Needless to say, I paid the balance and will never do business with them again. Home Depot is the exact opposite. I get those bills every month online and pay accordingly. I will never return to Lowe's. They are opening 2 Orchards in my small town (stupid), and I will make an effort to tell friends what happened to me.

    Do not hire Lowe's to install fencing. I hired Lowe's in October 2016 to install a chain link fence. They sent out their contractor (Hollywood Fence). The fence was not installed until December. Part of the fence came down in January. After going back and forth with corporate office they came back to reinstall the part that came down in April. However they did a horrible job. The fence is not leveled and looks terrible. Of course when you call Lowe's to send someone to look at the fence. They refuse and ask that you deal with the contractor. What a joke. I have decided to fix it myself and never deal with Lowe's in Phillipsburg NJ or Hollywood fence from Glen Gardner NJ again. Lesson learned.

    My son and I came into the Glenwood Springs store. I asked a Lowe's customer service if he could help us find a few parts for our swamp cooler. The man said he knew nothing about what we needed and walked away. I saw a second Lowe's customer service man and he too said he knew nothing about what we needed. I would think in your training of employees that they are required to find someone educated in what a person needs. Not just walk away.

    Then there was Abraham who walked up to us and asked if we were finding everything we need. What a pleasant surprise after what happened before he came up to us. He looked professional, he was knowledgeable and accommodating. There are many who need jobs but if they can't learn and actually do their job, really they should not be working at Lowe's. Model your employees after Abraham and you will always get great reviews. We came in 04/16/17. I don't have my receipt available. Thank you.

    Called to schedule service on my dryer on April 12, 2017. The service was set for April 13th between 1 pm-5 pm with A&E services. Took half the day off from work to be home. At 4:50 pm realized no one was going to show. So I called Lowe's extended warranty and turns out the servicing company never got the scheduled appointment. WOW, HALF a day lost from work. Now Lowe's supervisor GUARANTEED me that they would be out Monday the 17th for sure between 1 pm-5 pm again that he was speaking directly with them and they apologized for this.

    Well here we are again on Monday the 17th and once again the same excuse something happened with scheduling system and A&E didn't have me in on the calendar for today. So yup I call AGAIN and, "Oh we are so sorry about this but the earliest someone can come out is April the 27th." Well what kind of ** is this. Can't get anyone out to service my dryer that I paid to have this "Extended Warranty" and it doesn't work. Very frustrated because my dryer isn't working, a whole day missed from work and still no solution. I now have to wait another week and a half and who knows if they will even show up.

    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! I am so angry with Lowe's and with their customer service, I will not be going back and will tell all my friends and family about my experience. Home Depot, here we come!

    Lowe's on Two Notch in Columbia, SC is convenient compared to Home Depot so I have frequently shop there. The only area where they do not fail to disappoint is with expectations. If you expect good customer service they will not disappoint. The staff does not seem to care, they need to find someone else to assist because "that is not my department" and the lines and efficiency in the gardening department for checkout are outrageous. I waited 15 minutes for a manager's override which made the other 10 people behind me have to wait. I had to make a return at the Service Desk because "I cannot do that here". I walked up and no one acknowledge me for two minutes even though I was the only customer there at that point.

    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 management at this store is clearly inept which carries over to the management of the day to day operations. Even though Home Depot is 2 miles further away I can count on great, friendly and helpful staff. Coming your way today Home Depot.

    I wish I could give a 0 star. I paid $2,583.23 on March 16, 2017 for cabinets to be installed in my craft room. I was told that it would take 3-5 business days for the cabinets to arrive from the warehouse, and up to a week thereafter to have them installed. 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!

    Just bought new riding lawn mower Mar 31. Went to use it today and blade would not engage. Looked down and belt was laying on deck.

This is extremely aggravating under normal circumstances but my husband is a disabled veteran which leaves us to the mercy of this horrible customer service. Hopefully this will be resolved SOON!!!

    Horrible experience at Milledgeville, GA. First I have to point out that their phone service is the worst! Departments don't answer phones. Managers say they'll get back to you but don't. I had ordered carpet and padding and installation for my home. The installers booked it for me. The day they were supposed to come they didn't show up. Kept calling Lowe's (what a joke). Turns out that they still did not have the carpet there yet. Manager said he would find out what happened but he still has not called back either. The installers didn't bother to call me either. So take my money and sweep me under the carpet (no pun intended).

    I purchased a Troy-Bilt mower from Lowe's on 07/20/2016 and used it 2 times for the season. I can't get it to start so I done everything possible as they suggest. I tried to exchange it on 04/09/17 and was told the return policy is 30 days. How can I even know if it is a good product in 30 days? I went to the troybilt.com website and also done a Google search only to find out they have hundreds of bad reviews on this particular product (TB110). I told them that and the girl said, "Yes but no money back and no exchange. Repair only." I will not be shopping at Lowe's ever again. Personal or for my business. THANKS!

    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.

    Hired Lowe's to install seamless Allen Roth laminate flooring. Store employees and 2 installers said no problem. 3 months later planks separated. Lowe's sent installer back to fix it. Installer chipped floor and covered it with rug. 3 months later, floors started separating again. Another installer came to inspect floor. Installer said he would use seams to fix floor. 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 looked up Allen Roth warranty and it doesn't say anything about needing seams.

Why do I not get my money back immediately, same as when they took it from me? This is EXTORTION... I will NEVER SERVICE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

    This practice should be illegal! I am not letting this go, I am going to run this up the flagpole to the highest level. They are holding back money from customer returns to earn interest from banks. Just a few days = thousands of dollars interest. This is no accident, or "banking logistics" - this is EXTORTION! When we pay = immediate deduction. When we return = up to 15 days! NOT! People... DO NOT SHOP AT LOWE'S & REPORT THEM BBB FOR THESE PRACTICES! SHAME ON YOU LOWE'S!!!

    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.

    I've never done a review before on a business, but I can't help myself where LOWE'S is concerned. Unless you walk in that store and help yourself, it's a bust. 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 was told, after "I LEFT MY JOB" and drove across town to meet a guy, that I would be receive an estimate for flooring installation by that Thursday. That would have been 2 days later. That would have been 3/23/2017. It is now 4/4/2017 and I can't get a phone call answered.

    I'm blaming management for the lack of folks available to serve customers. LOWE'S cannot deny that they are making a killing off of those who need their services after the flood. NO EXCUSES! Do what you've promised to do! No wonder LOWE'S already has one star. (Also, my materials have been purchased and paid for. I will need only a few additional items.) "Soon to be former LOWE'S credit card user." SHAME ON YOU!

    Updated on 4/20/2017: I ordered flooring, charged it to my Lowe's account and paid off the bill, months ago. Confirmed its availability in person in March 18th. I went to arrange the pickup of 18 boxes of Shaw laminate flooring, 37 17"x17" pieces of tile and a toilet. I arrived in the store at 6:15 p.m. The clerk searched for the flooring until 8:20 p.m. The only items available were the 37 pieces of tile. And, the flooring was no longer available to purchase, even though I would not have reordered anything from Lowe's.

    Reminder: I had previously taken off work on 3/21/2017 to meet the installer and paid a fee of $35.00 to have him come out and measure. That fee wasn't refunded! Also, while I was waiting, a gentleman got refunded for a refrigerator that he had paid for and it wasn't found and a woman got refunded for 11 boxes of flooring that couldn't be found. I'm waiting on a refund check... I will update on that process soon.

I believe these replace employees. (And I've had problems with them in the past.) However, upon thinking of using one, found that the only available one is broken. At that point we decided to leave the store without purchasing anything. As someone (said she was running the register area) arrived to fix the self-checkout register, we informed her that we were leaving due to the difficulty in checking out. She just said "OK".

    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.

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!!!

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. I have my doubts about continual business with Loser Lowe's. Who needs this partner in trying to get work done in your home?

    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.

    Our bathroom was dated, house is 40 yrs old. We wanted to bring it up to today's level. Started with a local contractor the price was much too high. 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.

I called and asked Lowe's this February if they could assemble it. They said they did not have it in stock anymore and could not do it. I was in the Lowe's Bessemer, Alabama store where I bought it from a couple of weeks later and they still had it in stock and this was after I paid $40.00 to have it assembled. It would have only cost $10.00 for Lowe's to assemble it. I asked them if they could give me a gift card or a discount for giving me the incorrect information to make up the difference in the charges. They would not do it. I was also to be called back from a manager about the situation, but I never heard from them.

    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.

    We ordered and paid for the item on November 14, 2016 and were told that it would be available on December 30, 2016 because it had not entered production yet. The installer contacted me on November 16, and informed me that it was ready at the store for pickup at Cape Carteret, NC. I was confused as it was not even in production yet. I schedule a date and on that date the installer called from the store saying the dishwasher was not there as he had been told. I contacted the store and they explained that there was confusion and said it would be ready February 17, 2017.

    I checked with the store and arranged for installation and when the installer went to pick it up it had arrived damaged. Lowe's tried coercing me into accepting a damaged appliance and I stated that I would wait for an undamaged item. The assistant manager said he would be unable to obtain the item we ordered but he could get an upgrade by March 9, 2017.

    On March 11, 2017 I went to the store to see if it had arrived and was told that it would not be available until April 7, 2017. On March 13, 2017 I contacted the main Lowe's Customer Service number and was informed by the technician that it is back-ordered and we may possible see it in April. I replied that I was upset that I paid them the money for it in November and I still do not have the item. Very unsatisfactory on Lowe's and LG's part. Will not order from them again.

    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.

    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.

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.

    ******** 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.

    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 ordered a dishwasher 6 days ago with delivery and installation and I have yet to be contacted for setup. 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. They have switched over to a mass installation center instead of store by store, which clearly doesn't work. Way to go Lowe's, you will be the next retailer on your way out of business.

    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. I understand that ConsumerAffairs has zero-tolerance policy on fake reviews.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Lowe's is my neighborhood store, but I will no longer shop here. The service is consistently awful and managers are clueless. I've complained about the incorrect information provided, or complete lack of service, on three occasions. Each time, the manager blamed corporate policy. Convenience, service, professionalism -- not represented by Lowe's. I'm taking my business elsewhere, even though the busiest store in the city is 5 minutes from my home.

    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.

The second payment was made one day before due date. I attempted a third payment in case there was a problem with that and the message read that I already had a payment scheduled. Today, I see a late fee. Nothing but incompetence on their end. It appears I am acting in good faith and they are rejecting my payments so they can void the 6 month 0 percent interest and charge me interest. No faith in Lowe's whatsoever.

    Last Sunday (02-05-2017) I went to the Aransas Pass, Texas Lowe's and purchased a new washer. I ordered at the store so I could set up the delivery as I had no working washer. Delivery was scheduled for Tuesday (02-07-2017) which was only 2 days and acceptable. Well on Tuesday I got a call from their delivery department saying they couldn't deliver that day so how about Thursday (02-09-2017). I asked "what time" and was told they would call back the next day (Wednesday) and let me know. Well I never heard from them on Wednesday and Sat home all day Thursday waiting for them to show up with the washer. 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. There was another employee (supervisor?) there and I could tell from their actions and demeanor that this was done deliberately. I won't be doing any more business with Lowe's in Aransas Pass, Texas. Very disappointed, but I will not shop there anymore.

Two new Owen Corning Hi Definition roofs were installed, complete tear off and installation. Within 36 hours the garage roof was tearing off. The house roof was SEVERELY leaking. The house roof is leaking water Down the Interior Walls onto the floors. Ceilings are Destroyed. I have lost Thousands of dollars in rugs, furnishings, personal items and lost work time.

    The subcontractor had subcontracted the job. The subcontractor, J. King Construction Company of Roseburg came out twice to repair the damages. Each time they try to repair the roof the interior and exterior damages get worse. The store salesman is very intimidating, threatening and self absorbed. The salesman and subcontractor are refusing to tear off the misapplied roofs and start anew. The store manager has not yet contacted me. Some of the charges were put on my Discover card. Discover has accounted the money to my account until this is settled. Buyer Beware of the Arbitration clause in your contracts with Lowe's.

I received the call on the 4th telling me my measurements have been submitted so I came back to the store to purchase the pad and carpet. The carpet Associates were very friendly and helpful. I signed the paperwork and they advised me the carpet I picked out had to be ordered which I was good with that. They said it would take about a week so I agreed to the contract. I was expecting no later than a week and a half 2 max.

    I received a call on January 17 advising me my carpet and pad had arrived. Later on that same day I received another call for the installation appointment. The soonest available day was January 23rd today so considering my work schedule and I work on the weekends that work perfect and I told the lady on the phone that would be great. The installation people called back on Friday to reconfirm my appointment to make sure I was still available which I was I appreciate the follow-up calls. I finally got my carpet laid today and your installers did a fantastic job. I am very satisfied and very happy and they were very friendly and professional. I'll be sure to use Lowe's carpet Professional installation again in the future.

    The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the amount of time I had to wait all together for this job to be complete. I basically waited 3 weeks. The timing could have been a little faster. I also wish the flooring Associates could have advised me that it could have been that long as I could have prepared myself a little better but that's alright. Next time in the future when I need new carpet again I'll be better prepared. Again I am very satisfied with the service and the new carpet that was put down. It's very nice and once again I thank you very much.

    When shopping for a new appliance set, I went to Lowe's to get the refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher. At the time, they had a rebate and if you buy 4 appliances, you get a $200 rebate. I bought 4 appliances, and somehow only 3 appliances were put on the receipt that qualify for the rebate (dishwasher, microwave, and oven). I called in and the customer service agent said that the microwave did not qualify because it was under $395. She then said that since they did add the microwave as a qualifying rebate item on my receipt, that they would honor what the receipt says and count the microwave, plus add the fridge. I sent in the receipt for the rebate and finally got my rebate which was only worth $50, not the $200.

    Called customer service again, and the guy was not much help. He transferred me to his supervisor, Tina (a guy), which he was rude. Would talk over me and basically said they aren't honoring what the receipt says. I told him about how the other agent said they would, he would not care to hear about it and said that he will 'listen' to the call and train the agent again. Which is obviously a lie.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    I made a payment on my Lowe's credit card at the beginning of December, from a bank account that had plenty of money to support the payment. Then I start receiving phone calls from Lowe's Credit collection agency. I told them I just made a $300 payment and the person I spoke with stated "Yes I see your payment. It hasn't been posted to your account yet. You may receive more of these phone calls before It posts to your account." So the next few times they called I ignored the call assuming that my payment hadn't posted yet.

    Now it is December 30th, I log into my Lowe's credit account. The payment still has not been posted. I called the Lowe's credit department and they tell me they have no record of any payments being made, no record of me ever speaking to anyone and now I have a late fee and my minimum payment has been raised. I finally spoke to a manager and had the late fee removed, but I still don't understand why my payment never went through. I'm not sure if this is a Lowe's problem or a Synchrony Bank problem. Either way it was very frustrating. I don't think I will be using Lowe's credit or any other store credits that use Synchrony Bank again.

    I had bathroom flooring installed in 3 bathrooms 3 months ago with the Lowe's in West Chesapeake, Va. All of the flooring was the same with the exception of 1 bathroom which had a different flooring. I was told that the project should take 2 days to complete. On the day of install, only 1 installer arrived and said there was supposed to be another guy but he called in sick. I informed him that the project was a big project for just 1 person to complete in 2 days. The project took 4 days. That's not the worse part. One of the flooring was installed in the wrong bathroom which was not the installer's fault. The diagram that was done by Lowe's was incorrect. I noticed the mistake half way through the install because I was preparing dinner for my family.

    When Lowe's was notified of the mistake they said that it was my fault for not supervising the job. I immediately told them that I didn't pay them for me to supervise the job. When I paid them I was entrusting that they knew what they were doing. They offered me $300 for the inconvenience. Up until that point I had paid Lowe's over $20,000 to do renovation projects to my home this year alone. I could not believe the customer service that I was receiving. I will not buy so much as a light bulb from them. I now go to Home Depot for my home projects and have encouraged my family to do so as well.

You should not expect a "standard" garage door to arrive and be installed in 54 days and counting. AMARR install service is horrible. After waiting for 53 days for the garage door to be made and delivered, the install service call was set up for 12/22 between 9 and 11am. The installers did not show up until 1:30p.m and guess what? Their drill was on another truck. I hate when that happens. They said they didn't like ask customers for their tools so they refused to use mine. The installers said using my tools would make them feel like they were not prepared for the job. Too late!! They finally were able to start work on my garage door and opener install at 3:00p.m.

    The installers promptly left at 4:45p.m, promising to be back first thing in the morning at 10:00a.m? I need that job!! The installer called at 10:00a.m the next day, he obviously just woke up and stated he had to do another job before he come back to mine later that next day. I advised him that this was unacceptable. I turned to Lowe's customer service, who are inept, and were able to provide no help to get the install service complete. The lack of help from Lowe's "Customer Care" service to get my garage door installed has been consistent throughout this process. Save yourself the headache, don't buy a garage door from Lowes Florence KY and AMARR Cincinnati and expect to have it installed anytime in your lifetime. You’re Welcome!!!

This is terrible service. Why would anyone with this kind of experience want to purchase from Lowe's if this is what they should expect.

    My experience in making a purchase of a refrigerator with Lowe's has been a negative experience. I bought the refrigerator as a clearance item in which it was stated on the appliance that the reason it was on clearance was due to the water/ice dispenser not working when sold and that it had been fully repaired and that the appliance was under warranty. Because I was waiting for closing on my new house, Lowe's told me they could store the refrigerator until I needed it, which they did. However, when the refrigerator was delivered, there was a large dent in the side that was going to be exposed for viewing. I decided to return the refrigerator for this reason and they agreed that I could return it. However, store staff then began telling me that the dent had always been present and that I was foolish for returning such a good deal.

    I had to go home and retrieve the original for sale sign with the notice that the reason for clearance was due only to the water/ice dispenser not working. The staff continued to argue that they only put dented appliances on clearance and so even if the for sale sign does not say dented it is. There had been four refrigerators on clearance when I bought this one and the others had been clearly dented and had also stated such on their for sale signs. I had purposely chosen this one because both the sign and my inspection of the unit had indicated no dents. Anyway, the store staff was very rude. So I asked to speak to a manager. The manager then agreed to sell me a new unit for store cost, which I bought and have no problems with.

    However, I now have a problem with the Lowe's credit card. I made the first payment for November early and then decided to make the second payment for December early a short time later on November 2. I also paid $300 on my account, which was much more than the required minimum payment. So I was surprised to be sent a notice that my December payment was past due. When I called the creditor card company they told me that because I had paid the second payment in the "old billing cycle" which ended on November 3 that they had given me a $25 late fee because they didn't consider my payment to be for December. When I explained that the payment had been intended for the December bill, they said that was too bad because for it to apply to the December bill it had to be paid after the third of the month. I told them that was ridiculous and that I wanted the late fee waived.

    They said that that would only be possible if I paid the minimum required payment of $59. I ended up paying it and will immediately now have to pay the January payment, but only after January 3 or I will be "late" again on my January payment. The lady condescendingly told me that it was "nice" that I wanted to pay extra money on my card so that I could pay it off early, but that, basically, rules are rules and if I don't want late fees I have to pay the card according to their billing cycle and rules. So now I am "patiently" waiting for January 3 so that I can pay my credit card "on time." In addition, my minimum required payments keep rising. The first month the minimum required payment was around $22. The second month's payment was higher and now the required minimum payment is up to $59. Seeing that Lowe's isn't the only supplier of appliances, I will not be using their services again.

He calls PGE and when PGE came out to mark the location of lines, they said they called him twice and when they asked for him by name, he said no one here by that name and hung up.

He called today at 4:45 to get the address (he was already out there once and has the plans with the address) and my husband told him not to bother showing up. So disgusted with Lowe's at this point.

They wait until the day of the scheduled install to tell you what time they will be to your home, leaving essentially no time to get your affairs in order. With our purchase, we have had to have this company out almost 4 different times to get the dryer properly installed. And even after that, the unit itself did not work properly! Not only was the installation unsatisfactory, but the level of service (or lack thereof) we received from the Customer Service team was laughable. We ended up returning the dryer outright and will never be purchasing from Lowe's ever again after this fiasco.

    Lowe's damaged my hardwood floor while delivering an appliance. The flooring goes through my whole house which has an open floor plan. The damage was noted on the delivery receipt. Two contractors gave estimates for $22,000 for flooring plus another $8-9,000 for moving the furniture in and out plus storage while work is being done, etc. My own insurance has denied the claim because it was caused by the refrigerator being dropped, which is excluded in my policy. Lowe's is offering $18,000. Very expensive refrigerator plus Lowe's insurance is a nightmare to work with.

    Updated review: Oct. 31, 2017

    Update Roofing, Sofit and Facia - By spring I had enough and complained loudly to Lowe's over this and demanded action. A regional manager, Jamal **, came out to see the job and said it was work that Lowe's did not want to have their name on. He had another contractor come and do the job over. I am very satisfied with the work done now. I did have a lot of grief over this but in the end Lowe's made things right. The belief that they would take care of any problems is the reason that I chose to go with them and that is exactly what happened.

    Original Review: Dec. 11, 2016

    Signed a contract in Aug. for roofing, soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts and siding. Was told it would be done by Oct. Roof was done at the end of Sept. and was told that the job would be completed in two weeks. Then was told it would be started Oct. 17. Finally 2 guys showed up in the middle of Nov. with wrong color gutters and said that the material Lowe's delivered was wrong and inadequate. Never came back. A project coordinator would call occasionally and ask if the job was done and if I was happy. When I started to complain toward the end of Nov. the calls from her stopped. Talked to a manager about it and was told he'd get back to me. Never did. I financed it Lowe's and have already made 4 payments on it without getting the work done. The roof work was OK but the chimney flashing was sloppy and they did send a person out to fix it.

    Now it's the middle of Dec. The material in my yard is covered with snow and temperatures in the teens are forecast. I am very dissatisfied. I see that in the contract signed that there is a clause excusing them from a delay like this. Do not know what I'm going to do now. Will never deal with them and anything else like this and will warn others to stay away from them.

    Updated 2/26/2017 - This is an update to my Dec 11 post. They finally showed up a week before Christmas and completed the job. My bad experience with them just continued. I was not happy with the way the installers were hanging the soffit and asked that they would hang it level not at an angle. They became argumentative and said they would do it the way they wanted. I complained and different workers were sent and attempted to hang it level. They finished the job but had to come back and make adjustments due to poor workmanship. Overall I am not happy with the work done. The shingles and gutter work were done to my satisfaction but the chimney flashing, soffit, and fascia were all done poorly. I'm not happy and would not recommend them to anyone. I still have windows to replace and a kitchen to remodel. I will not let Lowe's touch those jobs.

    So far, we have been frustrated with Lowe's and seems to be never ending. We made a purchase of entry door in March. After few reminders, the door was finally installed in end of May. After few weeks, we started noticing the siding coming off. Lowe's first sent the installer to check it, and then it was decided that it is vendor's issue. After the visit from Lowe's Rep (in July), we were told that they are going to get us a new door. Again, after several calls and finally door arrived damaged in Oct. Now, it is December. The entry door is still not replaced. Calls to the store/customer service is totally waste of our time and leaves us totally frustrated. Any thoughts on how we might be able to get this taken care of?

    Terrible customer service in ordering and picking up cabinets from Apache Junction Lowe's store. This was a major purchase and the first time buying at Lowe's. I opened a Lowe's account but will be closing it if I ever get the remainder of the cabinets I am waiting for. Original order - many of the cabinets arrived scratched (or were scratched within the store). 4 attempts to pick up the order due to "too busy" to go in the back to get them or could not locate some of the items. I had to reorder 2 cabinets and one additional due to wrong calculation between tops and bottom cabinets by "cabinet professional" planner but ordered through a different Lowe's due to rude treatment I received during the first transaction. I am still waiting for some of the top cabinets to come in, but have installed the bottoms so Home Depot could come out and template my countertops.

    Kitchen has been down long enough, so now it will be fun trying to install the tops when the bottom cabinets are in the way, but at least the countertops are coming in a few weeks. I have never had a delivery issue from Home Depot - if it is due to be delivered on a given date, it arrives. Ordered my sink to be on site for the countertop template which was last Monday. Ordered online the previous Monday; arrival date was to be Friday, and on FRIDAY it was here. So lesson learned; I spend a lot of $ on remodeling projects and for years and years have never had an issue at Home Depot, so I'm sticking with them. Lowe's is not reliable and does not go out of their way to make sure you are happy.

    Many of my home improvement and hardware purchases are made at our local Lowe's. We live in a small town/rural area with relatively few local choices in a lot of things. This is why I generally shop at Lowes. I try to buy my hardware at a locally owned hardware store, because most of Lowe's hardware (nuts and bolts type stuff) is cheap, sloppily made Chinese junk. But for a lot of things Lowes is about the only place close by. I must admit that generally I am satisfied. However, in one MAJOR ASPECT, I am NOT SATISFIED at all. That is, Lowe's Brands Products.

    Some have been okay. For instance, I have never been disappointed in Lowe's Kobalt tools. For a DIYer, they're generally equal to other national brands. But Kobalt is about as far as "good" goes! I've had nothing but trouble with some of the other Lowes Brands. For instance, Lowes' GARDEN TREASURES. I have made two Garden Treasures purchases in the last couple of years. The first was a large cantilevered deck umbrella.

    After two years, a cast aluminum yoke disintegrated. This umbrella had never been subjected to misuse or been caught unfurled in windy conditions. I'm an engineer, and I concluded the yoke was just plain misdesigned. Wall thicknesses too thin, etc. Compounding the problem, it's not a replacement part. Fortunately, my local welding shop was able to weld it back together and I packed it with epoxy to reinforce it. My gripe is that a $350 umbrella fell apart after only two year's light use and Lowes was absolutely NO HELP.

    Lowes' GARDEN TREASURES (again). Bought a nice deck table and chair set at the end of summer 2015. Within two weeks my wife came to me saying it was rusting. Chinese junk. I got absolutely no sympathy from Lowe's. Was actually told that it shouldn't be outside uncovered. They would give my money back if I brought it back to them. The fact that I paid for delivery made no difference. I had to find a way to return it myself. We repainted it instead with Easton Hardware purchased spray paint.

    Lowe's' HARBOR BREEZE. Bought a ceiling fan about five years ago. When the light bulb burned out, I struggled and struggled to remove the glass cover to get the bulb. Lowe's customer service was not even able to identify the fan from the numbers I gave them. Nothing at all helpful in the manual. Then a year later during one final desperate effort to get the darned thing off last summer, my wife Googled and found a new YouTube video on just the problem. It worked (Make duct tape tabs to hang on to and turn)!!! Judging from the number of comments to the YouTube video, I was not alone with the problem. Poorly designed, poor instructions, poor customer service. Lowe's' UNITECH (Do I have that spelled right?) - Cheap electrical stuff. The batteries I've bought are prone to leakage. Various other gadgets have proved unreliable. Various other things have proven to be short-lived, prone-to-failure junk. Cheap Chinese junk again.

    Lowe's' CONTRACTORS. Have had a couple of poor experiences. The latest was the free installation of carpeting we bought at Lowe's about four years ago. About a year and a half later, a long buckle appeared. We were told that we must have moved the furniture around (we had not). Our responsibility or they'd send somebody out for a couple hundred bucks. To hell with them!

    My point is that Lowe's is a great store in so many ways (thus two stars). But I will not ever buy Lowe's brands again. Nor will I ever use Lowe's installation services again. And I urge everybody to think long and hard before buying Lowe's brands or use their installation services. Spend a few extra bucks and get something made to high standards, and/or installed by reputable craftsmen, and/or from a store that will stand behind their products and contractors. Lowe's will take back about anything little. But in my experience with the big stuff, they run like rabbits for the exit. In my opinion, you should too.

    We ordered a Samsung refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher September 11, 2016. It was ordered and paid for and we received the refrigerator the first week of October. At the time, we were told the stove and dishwasher would be delivered the following week. We called the end of Oct. and were given another date in November. That date came and went and were given yet another date of December 6. When I called today (12/6/16) I was told it is on back ordered and given the date of January 3rd.

    I was told today it could take up to 90 days to receive and that it is a manufacturing issue in Korea and out of Lowe's control. Well first of all, it's past 90 days! Second, why weren't we told this September 11th when it was originally ordered and 3rd, why is Lowe's advertising a product that they "have no control" over and the consumer is not getting what they paid for! I'm very disappointed in the runaround I've gotten each time I've called Lowe's on the expected delivery date only to find out they push it back another month! I'm not satisfied that I paid for items and 90+ days later I still do not have them.

    Well, it's Tuesday December 6, 2016 and the installers are here to install the five new windows I purchased from LOWE'S. A couple of the guys got here about 8:10 am and sat out front until other guys got here. They finally started working about 8:30 or after. A couple of other guys got here later than that. They had all but two of my windows out, by a little before 10:00 am, and I looked and they were all at the street around one of their trucks smoking, taking a break!!! Now, it's 45 degrees out and it's freezing in my house... but they are taking a break. I finally said something to one of the guys and I could tell he was pissed off, but he came back and started to work... The others were slow to respond but they did.

    I called the main guy RICK, and left a message. He called me back and already knew that I said something, but he was sooooooooo rude! It wasn't even like I was paying for a service... he said "Mrs. Blank, if you just keep complaining, it's going to make it uncomfortable for everyone." He told me they were all independent contractors and in other words they didn't give a rip whether I liked it or not... just "SHUT UP, SIT DOWN AND LET THEM DO THE JOB". I said so that is OK, to do what they did... Again RICK was very condescending and said "Mrs. Blank, they are going to do their work, and do it right," but I should just leave them alone. To sum it up, "STFU and let them do whatever they want!"

    I have seen all the bad reviews about LOWE'S installation services. I had only used them one other time and a plumbing installation service and it was fine, but this it seems that I am at their mercy, and threatened to I guess have uninstalled windows if I didn't shut up. I don't think I will ever use anything at LOWE'S that I have to use their installers. If I buy anything, I'll find my own installers that's for sure!!! I don't like being beholding to them by threats and that's exactly what I felt like!

    I bought 4 appliances package at $3400 for a 1.9% promotion apr. I checked my paper and found out they made it a 7.9%. Called the store directly and the manager said to call customer service. 3 times I called them and they all had a different answer. One said they will reverse it however it'll take a month to reflect on the statement. Another told me it can be done also but will take a month to two. I said no, the third said it can't be done, it's already on paper and my only hope is to go back to the store, cancel the order and redo it all over again. I ended up leaving work early. The cashier couldn't find my order so I had to wait for appliances department to search it. 30 minutes later, they found it, now another 20 minutes to redo it. No problem. I didn't say anything, I was calm. They set the delivery time for a week. The day before I received a call stating my package will arrive between 1 pm and 3:30 pm. I called work and pushed my time in until 5 pm.

    We waited until 3:30 pm and nothing so I called the delivery company. A representative said he'll call me back in 10 min. When he did he said they are in route and would get there soon. 5:30 pm I called them again. Another person said will me in 20 min and he never did. I called the store directly and the manager promised to call back. She said they are still coming, it maybe late, but I should still expect them. I waited another 2 hours and called her back and I all got from her was, "Okay, I'll call them and be on hold for another 20 min sir, hold on."

    Now, her answer really pissed me off. She was very unprofessional and told me things I really didn't care about. At 8 pm, my wife received a call saying they will deliver at 9 pm. At 10:30, I called the driver directly who told me he's a human being, he's been working all day and his helper was tired and refused to deliver. He went on saying "What you want me to do, we are tired, we called the store and they should have called you. It's not my fault."

Either they don't know anything about the products or make you feel like you're bothering them. You go in there which is the Gulfgate Houston store, and you're on your own. I mean that. You get up to check out and you're steered to the self-check out by some tired individual who act just like the rest of them who act like they hate every minute they are there.

    I have been in the retail store business for years and, I have encountered a fellow sorry employee here or there but to see this attitude in each and every employee demonstrates that they all are unhappy with their hours and pay. No excuse. You knew the pay when you walked in there under your own power to get the job. I recommend to anyone going to the Gulfgate Houston store, to bring a lunch, your own information and don't be in a hurry to find what you need and leave.

    Well this is my ongoing saga with Lowe's and this carpet that was installed in my house. Spent close to $5,000 on whole house carpet. Store ordered wrong carpet and installed it. Took another month to get the right carpet installed. Fast forward two month, I start to notice premature wear in several areas of the house. Called for warranty inspection. 8 weeks later they send this guy from the installer out to my house. He tells me that my carpet is defective and that Lowe's will make it right. That afternoon, my contact at lowe's, Marlon **, calls me and asked what the installer's rep said. I told him he determined that it was defective.

    One week later his report came in that this was normal wear and tear? Something stinks there? So it takes another month to get manufacturer's rep out here, and he sends in a report two weeks later saying carpet was 20% worn out, but that is normal? Really? After 2 months 1/5 of the life of the carpet is worn down and that is normal? Now for the worst part, I have been in contact with lowe's exec. customer service, Lacy, and she does not care that there has been lying and deceit during this whole process.

Windows sitting in a warehouse for 3 weeks waiting to get damaged and still haven't been scheduled to be installed. Employees are incompetent. They frustrate the customer and skilled contractors that do the real install work, which makes the contractor not want to put their Lowe's job as a priority knowing that when they show up to a job site, the parts will be wrong, missing or delayed.

Our money was refunded and we reordered a different door, this one with trim as we were told we did not order trim originally. We still have not received the door. The first person I dealt with blamed everything on the door company but would never call back. When I called I could not reach him. Finally caught him at the store. He assured me he would call back, never did. That person is no longer with Lowe's. The new person, Jonathan, assured he would get things moving. He did call me back and it seemed like he would get the project done. But he quit calling and when I did get hold of him he assured me he involved the assistant manager and action was being taken.

    One day an installer showed up and installed the wrong door and no trim. I talked to Jonathan again, he apologized, agree it was a mistake and would figure out what happened. At this point, early October, I am begging for it to be installed by Thanksgiving. I was told that it would be possible. Well, we joked about the goofy doors with no trim to our friends and relatives as we sat around the table for Thanksgiving. It's an open space and the closet is very visible from kitchen, dining room and entrance. But it not a joke and I'm sick of trying to track someone down for an answer. It just closet doors. They have been paid for but I have been living with an eyesore for 6 months still trying to get an answer about when they might be installed.

She then called back 30 minutes later and said that the dryer was dented, did we still want it. We replied no (who wants a dented dryer for $850) and she said that they have another dryer and would be delivering that day. As she hung up the phone she said, "This woman is gonna be a **," to a coworker. Our next call was another 30 minutes later from the same Delivery Manager stating that now the washer was broken and would have to be reordered with an estimated wait time of 14 days. At this point my wife went ballistic after being called a ** on the previous call, she proceed to get very angry, using profanity.

    The delivery manager then said she was transferring the call to the Asst Manager, Scott. He picked up the phone and laid it on his desk for several minutes before answering (we could hear but he would not talk). Next, he told us that there was nothing we could but wait the 14 days and that he was very busy and didn't have time. Next he said "we needed to decide if we wanted to wait" and HUNG up on us. What a JERK. I called and got a full refund from Scott and then purchased the same exact units at Home Depot for less money with a quicker delivery date. What's most shocking is that never once were we offered any type of help or consideration for the situation. And what are the odds that two new units would be damaged just prior to delivery.

If I had not been in great need, they would have taken the pair back. Their excuse was that they loaded mine first so we had to wait until they unloaded everything else.

    On Thanksgiving Day this year my dryer quit. Black Friday we went and found the one we needed. Ask when they would deliver. We were delighted that they could deliver this afternoon. In preparation we disconnected everything and moved around furniture to make everything go smoothly and cost them as little time delivering as possible. Someone calls today and says they want to deliver in the morning. (We will see about that.) After I expressed disappointment, he say he could bring it about 10 PM. Excuse, Black Friday. This should not be my problem. They knew for as long as they have been in business today would be Black Friday. Baseball players and children sometimes get three chances. I give adults and businesses max of two. What a terrible inconvenience they have caused. Next time I need a major appliance or a roll of duct tape, I will look elsewhere.

    Purchased freezer October 2015, purchased 3 year extended warranty, was told it was replacement. Appliance service co. came out after they called. Told them cold control seemed to be bad, they had model and serial numbers, part could have cost less than $60.00 could have brought with him and saved a trip. Repairman returned at a later day, part had to be ordered, even if he bought and brought with him on first trip, and part was not installed - it could have been returned.

    We filled out a reimbursement form, sent in all receipts for meats and etc... Also had lot of vegetables from the garden this year. But the main thing is my wife and I lost our wedding cake top, this has absolutely destroyed her. The Amount lost was a little over a $1000.00 with all the meats, vegetables, cake top. Was sent email when they received my reimbursement paper work stated I should receive my reimbursement in 14 business days. Have not received nothing. It's been 16 business days now, have called.

    I purchased a free range stove on 11/1/16 which was supposed to be delivered either 11/16 or 11/18 and they would call before they came. Got a call on the 16th stating it hadn't come in & to contact the store for more info. Called for 2 days and nobody answered the phone. Finally called Lowe's the next city over and they said they'd call the Odessa store and have them call me back, which they never did. Finally got thru to someone and they said it was showing received on the computer and in the delivery area and they would set in to be delivered on the 18th. When I called on the 18th they said it would be 5 days.

    Since they only deliver to my town on Tues & Thurs that meant I still didn't have an answer. I have gotten nothing but lies and excuses from Lowe's. I should have come to this website before ordering from them. Now I find they cancelled my original order and placed another without getting my authorization which is FRAUD. I ordered the range in plenty of time to receive it for Thanksgiving but who knows when it will come in. Since I did not give my authorization for them to cancel or reorder the item and have no idea when it will come in, I am not going to pay for it. I will write the bank that issued the credit card and send notice to their customer service dept. Lowe's doesn't return calls, has poor customer service and delivery service.

I ordered carpet for 2 rooms on Sept. 19th. As of Nov. 21st I have had one room of carpet installed (after a lot of headaches) and cannot convince anyone that it is important for me to get the second room done too. I have contacted the production office no less than 12 times and the store at least as many times. The list of excuses are as follows; carpet is back ordered, "someone forgot to call you about installation", the carpet wasn't cut correctly, "you didn't answer your phone", and "I really don't know what happened". Clearly, Lowe's does not value their customers. Every promise made about rectifying this situation has gone unfulfilled. I don't know anymore if this is malicious or sheer incompetence.

The door was to have been installed on November 8, 2016 and as that day came and went I called Lowe's to get a status of the door. The sales representative told me that I would have to call back the next day.

With Lowe's it is always call the next day. Still no door or any idea when that door might be installed. Lowe's required full payment at the time the door was ordered and trying to get any explanation is difficult at best. Found the CEO's E-Mail address online and sent him a note. Wow what happened next will amaze you.

    About two hours after sending the CEO E-Mail Lowe's contacted me from their headquarters in North Carolina. Wow I thought my door was on its way but what I got from the representative was that Mr. Robert Niblock was extremely upset that I sent him an E Mail about bad customer service. The representative that called me told me that if I complained to Niblock again he would see that I would be dealt with firmly and immediately. So no door... no idea when they are going to meat out that firm discipline but I am waiting for both Mr. Niblock. So what I did today was to buy 100 shares of Lowe's stock... now I am an owner Niblock and I am writing to every board member about you and your heavy handed tactics. People stay away form Lowe's.

We have no complaints about the deck, but the large dumpster brought in to hold the debris from the old deck is still in our driveway. A month later it is still here blocking our garage. Repeated calls to the installer, to the store and to the estimator have resulted in no action. The latest was when we spoke to the store manager two days ago.

    I've been trying to reach Lowe's to make sure they are no longer selling Samsung refrigerators to anyone, after two years of our $3345.00 Samsung refrigerator purchase (3/1/14 Cotati Lowe's Samsung Model #RF32FMQDBSR Transaction #**) not working. The ice maker never worked, despite service calls and attempted fixes, so we finally used cardboard and duct tape to seal it off. This past year, despite service calls and attempts with repairmen, the freezer still works but the refrigerator won't cool and all of our food is going bad.

    Consumer Reports rated it highly, but if Lowe's had done their research before selling it to us, they would see there has been a class action lawsuit against Samsung for their failing refrigerators since 2010. I can't reach a human being at Lowe's. Now we're just trying to find a fridge that works on Craigslist, while we pour gallons of milk and half down the drain and drink our morning coffee black.

Approximately September the 4th, one month later we called in a warranty claim because of vinyl plank was coming apart. On September 16th the gentleman that installed it and come out and looked at it and said he would get with Aaron's floor coverings which is loads contracted installation people for flooring and the Asheboro North Carolina area. It is now November the 7th. Lowe's says the money has been allotted to fix it.

    The flooring that we bought is Lay floating floor. We have been going back and forth since September 16th 20/16. I have talking to the store. I have talking to the corporate people and nothing has been done. They keep saying they'll call us back which they never do. I talked to him yesterday for about the 15th time and they assured me this, somebody would call me today to get a date scheduled to repair a flooring.

    Lowe's of the many floors for me in the past with carpet and vinyl and I never had any issues this is the first one that I've ever found. But with the way you're handling the warranty work I will no longer be shopping at Lowe's and less it's the only place close by. I have many rental houses and I have declined 2 more estimates from Lowe's. If you decide to use Lowe's you better hope it's done right the first time because of warranty is way out of the question.

    11/8, I wrote an email to Lowe's corporate headquarters customer service regarding the difficulty I was having communicating between sales & delivery/installation of a dishwasher purchased 10/31. Within a few hours, a customer service person called from corporate listened to the problem & said it would be resolved soon. Within an hour of that call the Lowe's manager from the Bloomington store where I purchased the dishwasher called. After that conversation & on the same day within a few hours a customer service person called from Indianapolis where the installation service is located. Long story short the new dishwasher was delivered & installed today 11/10 by a very nice Kevin.

    Original Review: Nov. 4, 2016

    Buying a dishwasher is easy at Lowe's. The most difficult and frustrating part of the contract is installation. There is a communication disconnect between the Lowe's store and the company in charge of "reaching out" to the installer (the customer service rep - 1877 505 4923, installation). Purchased on Monday, 10/31 and promised by sales that an installer would contact me in at least 3 days. Still waiting for installer to contact me to schedule installation. Three calls to Lowe's installation has not produced a call from installer... Am so frustrated, wish I had purchased the dishwasher from Menard's... The installation rep blames the Lowe's sales and Lowe's sales blames the installer. I am stuck without a dishwasher in my home.

    Updated on 11/09/2016: Installation of dishwasher scheduled for today between 10 and noon. Called by Lowe's Installation at 9 AM saying that truck was broken down and delivery will be postponed until tomorrow. I took off work and rearranged my morning to be at home now I have to do the same for tomorrow. Who will make Lowe's great again?

    May 2016 I inquired about purchasing a 6x8 privacy panel fence and having it installed through Lowe's. My Lowe's representative was very great with getting me set up with a quote, and working with me on getting it in my budget. I went ahead with what was set up, and they went ahead and ordered the parts. August 2, 2016 was the day the install was performed by the contractor Lowe's hired. They started in the morning and were done by 6pm when I got home from work. I have it a quick walk around, and it appeared to be straight and sturdy. I questioned them on why I was left with all 7 bags of pea gravel that were ordered, and why I still had 9 unused bags of cement (out of the 28 ordered). They assured me they were not needed and I could return them.

    Fast forward 2 months, the fence is still looking good, no bad had come through, no heavy rain or stronger winds. But come October 10th after the strong storm that hit Myrtle Beach, 80% of my fence was now leaning over and in pieces in my yard. I understand it was a strong storm, and that the damages were to be expected, but the damages I endured were not due to strong winds and heavy rain. Upon inspection of the damages we noticed only 1 out of the leaning posts had snapped, meaning the other 9 had simply fallen over.

    I talked to Lowe's install about what had happened and they told me they wouldn't even send the installers out to look at due to the fact it fell during the storm. So I went along with the cat and mouse game and had my insurance adjuster come out and assess the damages. I also have had two private contractors come out and all have told me that the installation was not done correctly and there should have been more cement on each post.

    I was able to pull two posts straight up out of the ground with ease, revealing no signs of cement on the posts, and little to none cement in both of their holes. I know there's two other posts where I can pull them right out of the ground and reveal the same thing. I took the many pictures of the damages and the video of me pulling out a post revealing no concrete into the Lowe's I had purchased the fence from, and they agreed that it does not appear it was installed correctly and that the contractor needs to come out and address it. The issue is they are telling me they cannot make that judgement call, and that is ultimately up to the Lowe's install people.

    My issue is I paid $3883.67 for a fence and within 2 months and 8 days it ended up scattered across my yard in pieces. I would not be writing this complaint or pushing the issue at all if all my posts had snapped due to the storm. Snapping posts would mean that they were properly installed and cemented into the ground like they should have been. My issue is 9/10 of my posts that are loose and simply loose due to cutting corners on the install and not cementing the posts like they should have been. I've now had to deal with two dogs and no fence for almost a month now, with no end in sight from Lowe's and their subpar contractors, neither of which will even come out to see it in person. Extremely disappointed with the service I have received from Lowe's install, to not even take the time to come out to my property to see the poor job their contractors did just blows my mind.

    So disappointed in our experience buying a new window from Lowe's. We ordered the Window in August and 2 1/2 months later we still have not had it installed. This is the 3rd try at getting the window installed. The first 2 windows were broken at Lowe's. But you don't get told that until you have waited the 2 weeks and it is the day that the window is to be installed that you are told, "Oh sorry the window is broken." So then you have to wait for the window to be made and shipped to Lowe's and then you have to wait all over again for the installer to call and set up a day to install it. It is always 2 weeks out.

    Talked with manager Dominic and let him know, after the 2nd window was broken, that we would like a discount on the window and we would like it installed as soon as the window is received by Lowe's. He said that would be fine. Called Lowe's and was told that the window was in, talked with the manager Mario and he said that he would talk to the installers and ask them to get our window installed this week. Just got the call tonight from the installer that they are already booked up and we need to wait another 9 days and that I had better take that opening because it would be gone if I didn't take it. Very rude. Very unacceptable. I do not recommend you buy windows from Lowes. I guess you get what you pay for. Won't be buying windows from Lowe's anymore and will shy away from buying big ticket purchases from Lowe's in the future.

    After waiting almost a month to have a fence installed, I am extremely unhappy with the quality of work performed on 10/10/2016. Lowe's hired a subcontractor to install my $9,000.00 fence. Not only is the fence crooked on one side, but instead of getting a privacy fence, I have a peek-a-boo fence. I can see my neighbor's yard through the fence. In addition, after the tacky job was completed, I did an inventory of the leftover materials and realize either Lowe's charged me for materials they did not deliver, or the contractor helped himself (stole) to materials I pay for there are materials missing. After getting nowhere with the Williamsburg store who was contracted to install my fence, I filed a report with the Better Business Bureau. I was contact by Tyler ** from Corporate who promised to call me back on 10/27/2016 and to date have not done so.

    On Saturday 10/29/2016 a store rep named Michelle came to the property and witness the horrible fence install job. She too agreed that I am missing items from the inventory. I am still waiting on resolution as I do not believe I should have to pay $9,000.00 for such a poor job. What is so disappointing is that I kept my end of the bargain - I started paying on the fence even before the job was started. I had no reason to believe that I was going to be the receiver of such a poor install. Lowe's quality has gone to the dumps. I would not hire Lowe's to do any more install jobs.

    I am making it my main mission to alert the public not to use Lowe's unless their standard is subpar quality and disappointments. I am giving Lowe's one more week to resolve this then I am going to file a civil lawsuit. I need to be made whole. Lowe's should only sell merchandise and leaving contracting and coordination of contractual services to real professionals.

    About a year and a half ago I purchased new flooring about 4500. worth. Being a single women I had Lowe's install the flooring. I removed all of the old floor and had the entire upstairs of my home done. I also bought new cabinets for my kitchen and had completely gutted the kitchen. The floor was put down, before the cabinets were put in. I put the cabinets in my kitchen after the floor was installed. Since then it has been a nightmare. The floor is buckling, there is a large object under the flooring in the hallway, and there are pieces missing from one of the planks.

    I called Lowe's and have spoken to different people and always get different answers. The last one was that I should have had Lowe's install the cabinets because that was the problem. Then the subcontractor told me that I need to buy over $100. worth of floor molding, stain it to match the cabinets and then they would come back and cut the floor around the cabinets and put the molding on, and call us when you have everything. This was in the dead of winter I was suppose to do all this. I paid over 4000 for the floor and another 6000 for the cabinets which are not wearing well at all. I feel taken advantage of, and feel I really wasted my money. The floor looks terrible and I am so disgusted it has taken me months to even write this review. It looks so bad I hate to have anyone at my home. Never again would I buy anything major from your store. Total disappointment.

    Two days passed, never received a call, so I went to the store in Garner and was informed that it was not the Garner stores responsibility to build my fence, but rather the Lowe's store in Northwest Raleigh because they got credit for the sale. I contacted that store and they said they were not responsible because they didn't measure and sign a contract with me. That day I called the corporate 1800 help number, received more apologies and was assured they would fix this.

    Our first visit to Lowe's for cabinets started on the wrong foot. We went in wanting to visit with someone about cabinets and was told they were unable to help us until we met with a project manager. They didn't offer to walk through designs, type of cabinets, styles, absolutely nothing. I had to call the store the following Monday to arrange a meeting with a project manager who wanted to know the "maximum that I was wanting to spend". Who gives that information? We didn't need a project manager. I am fully capable of making my own decisions and putting an order together. We simply wanted cabinets with this order.

    One claim the Lowe's manager made in regards to our cabinets was that we made numerous changes to our floor plan which created confusion, which then led to the wrong cabinet being made for our cook top. We only made two changes to our cabinets that had NOTHING to do with the cook top. One change was the style of doors on a section of cabinets and the second was to swap the refrigerator and double oven locations in the kitchen. Another claim in regards to the cabinet for the cook top was that Schuller only made a top drawer cabinet for the cook top. This is incorrect. There are several options. There were only three visits made to Lowe's for our cabinets. I don't think this would justify several changes being made to our floor plan.

    No actual floor plans (measurements) were ever given to us by the Lowe's designer until AFTER the final paperwork was signed. When I asked for it (to ensure everything was correct) the comment was made that it was against policy. Common sense tells me that someone would want to verify that ALL information is correct BEFORE signing FINAL documents. If Lowe's is so worried that someone will take the plans and go elsewhere, then I would suggest a deposit. It was a HUGE risk on our part to sign final papers with the assumption that your staff didn't make any errors. I contacted Lowe's and sent pictures (while still in the box) of our cabinets that had shipping damage. Not one phone call was returned. I then called a few days later and the rep stated the replacement cabinets would be delivered to Lowe's in 7-10 days (it took 22 days).

    We went to install our microwave and the door will not open because of the area being tight and the door sits right up against the wall. Per our plans, our cabinets were supposed to start at the wall. Lowe's knew every appliance that was being installed. We not only purchased them from Lowe's but we purchased them at the same time as our final cabinet appointment. If their designer doesn't know to put fill next to the wall, then they may want to educate. Another comment made by the manager at Lowe's was that our cabinet installer should've just moved the cabinets over to make room against the west wall. A little side note nobody wants a gaping hole and a designer should know to add fill to the design. Our installer (who by the way has installed cabinets for Lowe's numerous times in the past and has been doing it full time for over 20 years) followed the cabinet plans that were printed by Lowe's.

    I called Lowe's October 10, 2016 and told the rep to order the fill so that we could get the microwave area fixed. I would need enough to add to both sides of the window. She stated she would call me back and never did. I get to be the one who forks out the money to have the entire top row of cabinets moved because Lowe's did not add fill to the design. I also get to pay someone to change the cosmetics of a cabinet because the designer put a top drawer in the cabinet stating it would work (NOTE: we had to cut three cabinets to get the cook top in and the drawer is now a face plate). In addition, our kitchen sink and faucet was never shipped with the order.

    If you look at my Lowe's account, in the past two years, we have spent over $30K with Lowe's. We still have paint, railing, flooring for a 3600-square foot home, two bathrooms and the laundry room to finish. I believe I will take our business somewhere that knows the meaning of customer service and someone who will stand behind their work. Mistakes happen but Lowe's will not own up to flaws in the cabinet design and they have horrible customer service.

    Bought a new Hotpoint washer. I needed it bad so I couldn't wait for them to bring it to me so I brought it home, hooked it up. It worked great for 2 1/2 weeks then it just stopped. So I went up to see if they could bring me a new one or come look at it. They said, "NO". I had to bring it back and exchange it up get my money back. I came home and I am handicapped. It took me 4 hours to get it in the house and hooked up where anyone else could have did it in 20 minutes. But I got it out loaded it up and took it back. They refused to take it back or exchange it because I didn't buy the 4 or 5-year plan to go with it. I told them it's been 2 1/2 weeks.

    After fighting with the manager they was going to come out on Thursday Oct 20, 2016 to look at it. Well I had to cancel, going to see my doctor but I need that washer. Right. And they called me on the 19th and told me it will be the 25th before they can come look at it.

    I ordered three off size doors from Lowe's and they ordered them from their supplier Jeld-Wen. When they arrived at the store approx. 1 month later the doors had primed jambs instead of stainable jambs. I then had Lowes to order me the correct "jambs only" and they said that they had ordered them with an ETA of two weeks.

    Two weeks later I got a call from Lowes notifying me that they had never even ordered the jambs and that they would have to order them again and I would begin a wait again. While all this was going on I could never get anyone from that department to answer the phone. I had to keep asking the operator to put me in contact with the store manager to ever be able to talk with someone regarding the problem. Neither the department worker, the department manager or the store manager have been able to get my purchase correct and none of them seems to care. I'm still waiting for the jambs at this time (six weeks time lapse). It's just a matter of time until Home Depot builds a store here and when that happens Lowes will lose a lot of customers.

    I just bought a new home. I was looking to fully renovate the entire place with new hardware, doors, lights, APPLIANCES, etc. I started first with Lowe's and appliances, lights, and hardware. My contractor took care of the others. Here is a few reasons why buying from Lowe's is a disaster: When I placed an order online, I'd get the "your order is ready for pickup" email and I'd go to the store. On multiple occasions, my order would NOT BE READY or NOT BE IN STOCK. When I show up they'd either need to go pick the items off the shelves or the item would flat out not even be in stock and they'd have to backorder it for me wasting my time. They don't value your time/energy at all.

    Customer service at the stores are a disaster. Nobody knows how to be polite and assist clients. They just transfer the call around to different phones in the store where you get bounced around and nobody picks up. When calls get bounced back to the person (or idiot) who originally picked up, you'd hear the phone get picked up and then a click as she hangs up. Calling the stores are a complete disaster.

    MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is ORDERING APPLIANCES with Lowe's. First, I bought a refrigerator for my new apartment. Ordered online. Receive notification after order is placed that item is backordered and will not be in stock for 3 months. Second, bought a gas stove. Order is pending for a few days and I get a call from their delivery service XPO. XPO says, "We're coming tomorrow at X-Y time". I take off of my normal business hours full time job to wait. XPO calls and says, "We're 15 minutes away, but did you buy a refurbished item?" The call went to ** after that. Told them to take it back.

    DO NOT BUY APPLIANCES FROM LOWE'S. I ordered a washer/dryer/stacking kit for my new apartment. After a week delay I get notice that my item can be delivered. XPO calls again and says it's coming tomorrow X-Y time. I take off work. I call XPO after the delivery window since they didn't come. XPO says, "Didn't Lowe's call you?" The delivery was cancelled and they need to reschedule. I call them to complain to ask if they think having us sit at home all day for nothing to happen is a joke to them. The idiot on the phone said, "You can get someone else to sit at home." After another wait, the store says they can't deliver again, cancel due to elevator not working. Things are getting ridiculous. I complain again and finally the order is delivered after much heartache, vacations days lost at work for no reason, money and time for having to do laundry outside. Just a complete disgusting experience that I can't put into words here.

    I've never had a worse customer experience with ANY COMPANY IN MY LIFE. I used to love Lowe's. I gave them my first chance at all my business for my home furnishing. I still have things to buy for my new place. I'm under 30 years old and have lots of time in my life to spend money at home improvement stores and will definitely be getting new homes again in the future to be furnished. They potentially could have made $10-15k in sales from me just this time around. Customers don't remember just average experiences, but they definitely remember the amazing or horrible ones.

    3 weeks ago I purchased a washer and dryer at the Arundel Plaza, 6650 Ritchie Hwy Route 2, Glen Burnie, MD 21061 Lowe's. I told the sales person the measurements of the unit I needed and repeated multiple times that both units were going to be STACKED because they were going to go in a closet. I don't know anything about installing washer/dryers etc and I made that perfectly clear to the sales person. The salesperson urge me to purchase them with the Lowe's credit card so that way I could save 150.

    I work weekdays and the store doesn't do late deliveries so I had to wait 3 weeks to get it deliver on a Saturday. First, they tell me that my units are going to be deliver between 1-3 pm. Awesome. Then, I get an early call that morning as I am out of my home because I don't have to be home until 1 that the delivery is going to be done earlier because there were some cancellations So now the delivery is at 10 am...and they call me at 9 am. I'm not home and I'm far from home, but cool, my friend is home so I figure she could let them in.

    The third party that Lowe's has a contract with delivers the washer and dryer and the folks doing the delivery realize the STACK KIT and flexible dry bend for the STACKABLE WASHER/DRYER unit are missing. The delivery people don't call me. They instead tell my housemate they can't install it and leave the washer and dryer IN MY LIVING ROOM. I get home and I call the store because what the heck? And they tell me that while I did buy the flexible dry bend and it must have fell off the truck or something that I didn't pay for the STACKABLE KIT. Again, I went to Lowe's and purchase the units and asked for delivery/installation because I don't know what are the things needed to install it.

    I assumed all the hoses and things the salesperson told me to buy for the unit were all that was needed. I tell this to the store manager and he tells me that the person that sold me the units doesn't normally work in that department so that person wasn't aware that a stackable washer/dryer that's going to go in a closet type space needs a stackable kit. That's the store excuse. Now, I asked the store why the delivery person felt compel to leave a washer/dryer in my living room and not take it with them...and I was told if they had taken it with them that it would have been a cancellation because the store can't hold units until they can order me the stacking kit needed.

    I called customer service and they say there's nothing that they can do. That they can order the kit that's missing and the flexible dry bend would be order to but the store would reimburse me for that one because I had already paid for it. Once they order the kit then I have to wait for it in the mail and then I can reschedule installation. Now, I'm not sure why this seemed like an acceptable response. Is not like I'm the one that made the mistake. I told the customer service rep that this wasn't acceptable because I had already waited 3 weeks for the delivery and that it wasn't my fault that Lowe's salesperson sold me a unit without all the things that were needed for the installation. I asked the rep if she could transfer me to her supervisor to which she did. The supervisor called the store and same result.

    So I asked if I speak to her supervisor to which she said that that was it. No one above her. Somehow there is a higher level of customer care beyond the regular 1-800 Lowe's. There's the executive customer service number 866-284-8989. I was transfer to that number and I was getting the same response, but then they agreed to send someone to move the washer/dryer to my garage at no cost the next day and that they wouldn't charge me for the kit, because you know all the hassle I was going through. I was on the phone with Lowe's for 3 and a half hours on Saturday...and the best they could do was send me a $40 kit? I PAID 2000 for a washer and dryer believe me a free $40 kit was not worth the 3 1/2 hours on the phone with all levels of support at Lowe's.

    Sunday came and nothing. No one showed up to pick up my units. The person that was coming to move the units said they called (although there was no voicemail) and then they said that they showed up to my house and no one was available. THIS IS TOTAL BS. I've been home all morning and no delivery truck was ever in front of my house and no one knocked. So I just spent another 2 hours with Lowe's. The person that was assigned to my "case" was off today and the first 2 times that I called the reps said there was nothing that they could do and they transfer me to Janet's voicemail (the rep who had promised someone would move the units to my basement). I called again and on the third trial, Sara another rep was able to call the store and get someone to come back and move my unit out of my living room.

    Unfortunately, Sara wasn't able to provide me with a time of when they could move the unit and stated that I could reschedule for Monday. I work during the week so this is no good for me since they can't come after 5. Sooo here I am waiting for someone to move the washer and dryer out of my living room. They might show up or say that they did like they did this morning. Who knows. Worst customer service ever and worst shopping experience ever. The nature of Lowe's is clearly a focus on sales, poorly trained employees who probably have sales quotas to fill which is why you have someone who knows nothing about washer/dryers just pushing whatever.

    I get that the salespeople are not professional installers but if a customer is buying a STACKABLE washer/dryer for a closet and installation is included why wouldn't you also sell the STACKABLE KIT...and why does the store manager think that having sales reps that don't know products is a legitimate excuse? If the sales person had told me he sells plants and everyone that sales washers/dryers was off I would have not bought it that day and come back or gone to a diff Lowe's or gone to a diff store...I'm very disappointed and I really wish I hadn't gotten the store card because I know for a fact I will never set foot in another Lowe's again.

Platinum absolutely refused to honor the warranty and wanted to make me pay upfront, then be reimbursed by Lowe's or the manufacturer, prior to confirming the visit. They would not commit to a day or time, then when they did, gave me an 8-4 p.m. window. They then called to let me know late in the day that they could not commit to this window, and wanted to come to my home the next day, for the same window. They also asked for cash upfront. I committed to provide cash upfront and they asked how much. Then they couldn't commit to the window anyway. It just was a bad experience.

Second, they did not fit the door properly (would not close). Third, they could not cut a proper 45 on the inside casing, so he use a lot of caulk. Last he left without filling the nail holes on the inside door casing. Lowe's does not stand by their work or workers the hire. When I called the store manager he said the one year install warranty ran out. Jeld-Wen won't warrant it, they said the installer did not caulk the bottom of the jamb where it meets the threshold.

    I went to the Lowe's in New Albany, MS on three occasions asking about a refrigerator they had for sale. I asked how long the price was good for and they told me for a few more weeks. I purchased the refrigerator and while they were writing it up, my wife found a price tag which showed it at a different price. After talking to the sales person a while, he called the manager who told me it would cost me an additional $1500. The manager looked at the ceiling while I was explaining what happened.

    To shorten the story, I wrote Lowe's home office and they would do nothing. The manager never apologized or claimed responsibility for the mistake. Lowe's would not let me have the refrigerator at the $2098 price which was advertised. Basically, they just told me to go away that they were not going to do anything. If my wife had not found the missing price tag, they would have sold it for the price shown. Neither the store nor the home office admitted the store had done anything wrong by putting the incorrect price tag over the appliance.

    On three separate occasions I was told the price of the refrigerator was $2098. I have bought all of my appliances from Lowe's and always bought the warranty plan. However, after this experience I have made it a point to never go into another Lowe's and tell everyone who is interested in buying appliances to go either to Home Depot or Sears because Lowe's has the WORST customer service of any retailer I have visited. Then I tell them the entire story of what happened to me and on several occasions it has influenced them to buy elsewhere. And I tell everyone who reads this post, do yourself a favor and before you buy an appliance, go to Home Depot or Sears where they DO believe the customer is important and DON'T BUY AT LOWE'S!!!

    I'll start by saying never use Lowe's for a fence installation. They obviously contract out to the lowest bidder and the quality and lack of workmanship shows. To start from the beginning -- We purchased a vinyl fence from Lowe's in the summer for approximately $7,000. Lowe's and the installer came out twice to do measurements, survey the land where the fence was going to be etc. A few weeks go by and installation began. The installers are putting the posts in and in the back of my yard there was hard rock that their auger couldn't go through so Lowe's wanted to charge me an extra $2000 so the installers could rent jackhammers and be paid for two extra days work (jackhammering 8 holes).

    I went back and forth with them about how it isn't my problem the fence company didn't bring jackhammers and then called 2 local fence companies who bring them and expect to dig through hard rock as part of the installation. Who would of thought you would need to dig through rock to set posts? Needless to say my fence was shortened 12 feet because Lowe's refused to work with me to remedy the situation.

    I contacted the Better Business Bureau and within 2 weeks my fence was pushed back to the original spot at no cost to myself and that 2 day jackhammer job took about 2 hours. Hmmm funny how that worked. Everything was okay at that point for about two weeks and then my gate latches sunk and needed to be adjusted by the installer, not big deal, I figured there'd be a little settling and it was taken care of quickly and efficiently.

    Another month goes by, August/Sept. 2016, now and it was rainy and windy outside (25-30 mph gusts). I let my dogs out and noticed my one dog go to the corner of my fence. I walk outside to see why she's running and see 2 panels completely falling apart and detached from their posts. My dog got out of the fence and I had to chase her down. Luckily no cars were around and I was able to run after her and get her. I then had to spend a half hour putting the fence back together as best I could, as it was loose.

    An hour goes by and it fell apart again, so back out in the rain and wind. I went to put it together a second time with duct tape. Lowe's came out within 3 days to look at it and then the installer came a couple days later to drill a screw into it to hold it together -- apparently they forgot to reinforce it upon installation. Unreal. After this the latches again shifted and both had to be adjusted and then a hinge on one of the gates broke and they had to come back and replace it. The fence is 3 months old and these issues are ridiculous. I can't wait to see what happens next.

    I asked for compensation for all the days I had to leave work early to be here to ensure the repairs were done etc. I was offered a 100 dollar gift card for 7000 dollars worth of garbage. The woman I was dealing with at corporate would not give me her bosses information to pursue compensation any further. I'm not being unreasonable and asking for a free fence. I want something back for all of the trouble however and 100 dollar gift card is laughable. I'll be calling back and pursuing this with another Lowe's rep and see what happens. I will be a Home Depot shopper from this point on and never use Lowe's again for any home installation project again.

Besides the scratches and dents, it came with a crooked sticker on the front freezer door that read "smart inverter". Took manager 1 year to get a replacement (that is also damaged)!

    Service with them has been a combination of damaged goods, incorrect orders, orders that have "mysteriously" been lost, delivery men that didn't even have the proper tools to reverse the doors, and a store manager who repeatedly ignores my calls and emails. I even complained to their customer service dept. and was dismissed with a scripted comment indicting that my only option is to live with the defects and just deal with the broken fridge till the company they have contracted to do repairs shows up!

    It hits 7 pm so I called again and they told me that their truck was already back in Syracuse and that I won't be receiving my items tonight. They transferred me to a manager of the delivery team which wasn't any help. He was rude and talked over me. I called the customer service number again and they told me it'd be here at 9 am the following day. I'm highly disappointed since this is my first experience actually purchasing appliances for our new home. Lowe's was highly recommended and I'm questioning as to why?

Last Saturday I used first time because the house is new. I moved late and I need to use. The washer was good but the dryer failed on installation test and not drying clothes. So I called LOWE'S and asked about the return policy. The sales man said it can be returned but appliance manager refused because the LOWE'S return policy of appliance is in 30 days after buying not after delivery. I want to file a claim to Ontario Consumer Service because this policy is not protecting customer. And the Ontario Government need my letter to LOWE'S. Please let me know your return policy and if my return is refused by the policy.

    Please let me know by the OCT 7 2016.

    We purchased a Samsung washer and dryer last year in May 2015. It was working fine up until last week. Started making weird noises and finally stopped. Luckily we had taken extended warranty from Lowe's for 5 years. Lucky, you'd think?! My husband went to the store asking what our next step should be, as we never had this problem before. The lady at the customer service looked at our receipt, all the info and told us that we can bring our dryer to the store and it was going to be an easy swap. Easy?? Or was it?? Me and my husband loaded the heavy dryer in our pick up and went back the next day to do the easy swap. What happened afterwards was a total nightmare for me and him.

    The lady behind the counter, this time a different one of course told us that we need to call the repairs department and they would send out a technician to our house and then only we would know what can be done with the machine. Are you kidding me??? First of all, I haven't washed my clothes at home because of the faulty dryer at home and I have 3 teens, my husband and I. Second, it's not easy for us to take the big heavy piece of machinery back & forth just like that. And third, it was the store customer service person that gave us the wrong info.

    I got mad and called for the manager of the Douglasville, GA store. I explained him what happened and he tried to tell me that there was nothing he could do, we would have to call the customer repair department and they would take care of it. I told him, "had it not been for your not knowledgeable customer service rep, I wouldn't have brought my dryer to the store today." He just wasn't ready to put the blame on any of the store people. So I got really mad now and asked him for the corporate no. Guess what, the phone no. he gave me for the Lowe's corporate office was wrong!! Surprised?! I was not. This shows that even the company's managers do not care about the customers nor the company that they work for. They don't even have the right headquarters contact.

    Even after getting on the phone with the corporate, the lady over the phone did not bother to understand my problem and gave me the same runaround. Anyways, I'm just pissed to the max, and this is the last time they would ever get my business, that's for sure. People, I'm telling you, Home Depot is a far better company when it comes to customer service. It might not be the best, but far superior than Lowe's.

    My wife and I went to the Lowe's in Bethel Park to shop for a washing machine. Not one person came up and asked if we needed help. We shopped and found a washer to purchase. We went up to the and asked the gentleman working about the washer, He said it was out of stock and it would take a week to get it in. We said "Well what about this other model we looked at" and he said "Well we have it but I can't deliver it to you until Oct 18th," and it was the 1st. He had about as much personality as the chair he was sitting in. The customer service was nonexistent. The employee acted like he could care less if we bought a washer or not. He also said that no matter where we went we would have at least a two week wait for delivery. So since Lowe's has so much business and doesn't need ours we went to HHGREGG bought a washer and dryer and it's being delivered in 2 days. Lowe's NEVER AGAIN.

    I contracted Lowe's to install 100 feet of cedar fencing and a pergola add-on. Work began in the beginning of July. When the installer told me he had no experience installing cedar and was familiar with installing vinyl, I should have known this wouldn't go smoothly. I originally ordered a four foot gate for the backyard. Shortly thereafter I changed my mind and phoned the project manager, Kevin **. I asked how much it would cost to have 2 three foot gates instead. He said it was a 50 dollar difference. I said ok. He said he didn't feel like driving out to Portsmouth from his store in Seekonk so I could sign a change order. He said he'd just go ahead and change the order and not charge the 50 dollars. When the installers came we discovered that he hadn't changed the order. Lowe's shipped me 2 four foot gates one for the back and one for the front. They also didn't send the posts and lattice for the pergola.

    Mr. ** tried to convince me to accept the gates I'd originally ordered. I refused, telling him that I would gladly pay the 50 dollars, and if he'd done the change order like he was supposed to, this wouldn't have happened. So...he had the installers use the 2 four foot gates that were on hand to create the back gate and order an additional gate for the front. By then, my existing chain link fence had been removed. Originally I'd had someone lined up to remove the fence for me, but that fell through. I asked Mr. ** how much more it would cost to add removal and disposal. $450 more. I had no choice but to agree, as the installation date was already here.

    Instead of removing the posts, the installers cut them at ground level. My husband could have done that himself! I was then left with metal-lined holes in the ground, along with the remaining underground concrete. How can I plant grass and shrubs over that? I paid for removal, and I expected the fence to be removed. Since all the parts weren't available, they had to halt work and special order the additional gate and pergola parts. They blocked the gap where the front gate should have been with a section of fence. After they left I noticed multiple gaps in the fencing because I heard the familiar bark of my dog from the street. I'd let her out and she immediately escaped. She weighs 2 pounds. She never escaped when I had my old chain link fence. So...my husband inspected the yard and used old boards and bricks to block the spots where she could possibly escape.

    The installers didn't leave my yard in good shape. I have a 4 year old and a dog. They left a saw blade in the yard. They left a Red Bull can in the sink of my daughter's playhouse. They left packaging from the fence components in the yard. They left the dirt and rocks they dug up when installing the fence posts behind. The dirt in the front of the house is heavy with slate. They spread that dirt instead of removing it. How is my grass going to regrow through slate? The pieces aren't big enough to pick up, but they're big enough to ruin my lawn. The yard on the longest side of the fence is higher because they spread the dirt instead of removing it. They also left behind large rocks that they dug up during installation.

    Then...I noticed that one of the fence posts in the front of the house was cracked from top to bottom. Why would someone even install something like that? When I called, the Lowe's manager tried to convince me that it was "a natural variation in the wood." even after I emailed the photos. How insulting. $5,500 for a fence and you try to convince me to accept a damaged product!

    Anyway, I was promised that the missing fence parts would arrive in 2 weeks and the installers were scheduled to return then. 2 weeks came and went with no delivery. The installer called to cancel. Meanwhile, the manager never called to inform me of what was going on. Why the delay? I called. I was promised the gate would arrive on September 12. Nope. No gate, no update from Lowe's. At this point I was promised a call from Dave **, the Market Director. He had someone call on his behalf on September 15. I listed all my concerns and was promised installation the following Friday.

    The next week the installer called to schedule. I told them that I was promised installation on Sept 23. They said no, they couldn't. It'd have to be the next Friday. I'm a teacher, and purposely scheduled this work for the summer, when I'd be home. At this point, the work needed to be done on a Friday because I'm back to work and that's the only day my husband would be home to answer any questions the installers had. On Monday I spoke to a woman at the fence company and gave her a list of everything that needed to be resolved. So now it's Friday, September 30. I've had no front gate for approximately 3 months. The new gate and pergola parts arrived yesterday.

    The installers came today. They installed the front gate and pergola. But when I spoke to the Market Director's representative and the fence company I asked them not to install the hardware they'd shipped on the front gate. It's the same kind that's on the back gate - a flat lever that you push down. That's fine for the back utility gate, but not for the entrance. They installed it anyway. Now it needs to be changed and there will be additional holes in my new front gate. They botched up the repair of the gaps under the fence. They lowered a section of the fence so the dog can't crawl under.

    Now the top of one panel is 3 inches lower than the adjacent panel and the rails facing my yard aren't lined up. There's still gaps at the bottom where the dog can get out. In fact, the front gate is approximately 4-5 inches off the ground. My dog will easily escape. These installers knew when they were here in July that they couldn't leave gaps like that. They saw my dog. The installers replaced the cracked fence post. But it came right out. They hadn't cemented it in. In fact, there were tons of leftover bags of cement. They didn't cement the pergola posts in. Those posts are going to rot, just stuck in the ground like that. I need them to come back and cement every post I to the ground. Also, am I getting credit for the unused cement, panels, and posts? The project manager is supposed to know how much to order. I shouldn't have to pay when he doesn't know how to estimate a job.

    The installers also installed the drop bar on the back gate today. When they left the last time they used a piece of rebar as a substitute. But...the back gate is still not even. That was on the list of things to fix and it's still not done right. Oh! And...at the time of the contract signing I was promised a 200 Lowe's gift card. Mr. ** gave me the rebate form and receipt. Said to mail it in. Several weeks later I got a letter from Lowe's. They denied my submission. Said I didn't make a qualifying fence purchase.

    So I now have an expensive fence that is uneven, has posts that are going to rot, and doesn't keep the dog in the yard. All this after several months of headaches. I wish I could just have you take your fence back. I am beyond angry discouraged. My husband and I bought this house knowing we'd be making improvements. This is the first of many projects. We need windows, gutters, kitchen counters and cabinets and several other jobs done. We won't be hiring Lowe's.

    I ordered a garage door a little over two weeks ago. Got a call the next day that it was being made in Michigan. Last Sunday, got a call from the installer. He left a message that he had to come measure for a garage door. I was confused because we drove back and forth from my house and Lowe's to answer exact measurement questions. Never were we told they could or would come measure. I left several messages for the installer. He never called back. I called Lowe's to ask what was going on. Was transferred several times and then told I had picked up the door, but I have not done so. Was then told installer had the door, then told he did not.

    Went to the store today and was told the door came in and installer has it. Feel it is the case of the missing door. No one has it and no one will call me. Supervisor said Lowe's just sells the install and does not get involved. So I paid for a garage door that appears to be missing and no one will help get to the bottom of it. Installer won't return my calls. Lowe's says they are not involved and the door never goes to Lowe's. Now what? I want a refund, but the contract says I have three days for a refund, but it also says two weeks on the door. I don't have a garage door yet and after reading all these other reviews, I regret ever trusting Lowe's to do the job. I paid Lowe's for the door, not just the install. Supervisor was rude and unhelpful.

    Went to our local Lowe's store to purchase new kitchen flooring and needed it to be installed. We were told we would have to pay $45 to get an estimate and that it would be applied to the cost of installation if we decided to have the work done. We had to wait 10 days for the contractor to come measure our floors, we were told we would have the estimate about 24 hours after he was at our house to measure and determine what materials would be needed.

    Needless to say, another 4 days later, we still had no estimate, the representative from Lowe's was very nice but did not know what was taking the contractor so long. We told them forget it we will hire someone else that actually has time to do the job and to just give us our $45 back because they were not even able to get us a bid on the job. The next day, they produced a bid, a very overpriced bid. 35-40% higher than the other two bids we got (for free!). I questioned them about the high cost of the job (we were purchasing linoleum?!?!).

    The Lowe's representative offered to have us talk to her manager, another 3 days went by (and in the meantime we had another company install the flooring) and the manager apologizes but is adamant that the fee for getting the quote is NON-REFUNDABLE no matter what. Our project was stalled nearly 3 weeks messing around with these people, what a waste of time. That is fine, we are only out the $45 but thank God we had the sense to cut our losses and go with another company.

    Fridge started dripping water on shelves and freezer started to overfreeze. Called Lowe's and was transferred to service which scheduled for the following Thursday. Tech came out, had to order parts and we had to wait till that following Monday. Monday comes around, tech comes and replaces something. Leaves and I check fridge and light for the setting at the bottom is no longer on. Run out to catch him and he is gone. Called his company and they tell me he said to wait an hour, it should come back on. Never came on and now the whole fridge is not working. I call Lowe's and basically get the runaround that I have to wait for the 3rd repair and it has to be the same part for the manufacturer to decide if it will be replaced!
