We purchased a refrigerator from Lowe's in Woodstock GA on 4/11/19. It was set for delivery on 4/17/19. That was the earliest time they had available. When the delivery guys arrived, they pointed out some small damage to the refrigerator door. I was at work so my son called me to tell me. I told him that I didn't want a damaged refrigerator since we paid the asking price for it. It was not an 'as is' item. He called Lowe's Woodstock to see if they had more of that model. Canton showed two. However, they weren't actually in stock.
My son asked them if they still had the floor model. He was told that they do not sell the floor models. When I returned home from work that evening we headed out to Lowe's for a resolution. The manager could not have been less helpful nor was he concerned about the situation. My son went in search of the floor model and it was not there. He asked the manager where it was and the manager advised they had SOLD IT. I thought they didn't sell the floor models! This model was being discontinued so we could not wait for more to come in. My son assured me that the damage to the one that was brought to our house earlier that day was minimal and once the handles were installed it would most likely hide the small dent. My son asked for a 20% discount due to all of the frustration and they did agree to that.
The refrigerator was redelivered the next day. The delivery guys said they could not install it for us, because it sits up on a ledge that is about 4 inches high between two cabinets. Again we call Lowe's to have someone come out to install the refrigerator. They advised that their guys could not do it and told us to contact Porch.com. We did. They said THEY could not bring it up from our garage or install it on the slightly elevated platform. Apparently you can only have a refrigerator delivered and installed if you live in a ranch style home with no stairs up to the house. Please explain to me how a home improvement store that has contractors that do entire kitchen remodels cannot simply install a new refrigerator. We have now been without a refrigerator for TWO WEEKS! My only option right now is to plug it in where it sits in the garage. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hello, I would like to share my annoyance and disappointment with my dealings with the local Lowe's. I bought a Samsung dishwasher and installed it myself. It worked great for 3 months but then dishes were left dirty in the top rack, it seemed to be throwing the dirty water around and leaving food in tall glasses especially. I called samsung to try and use the warranty but apparently because I installed it, this makes it so you could not use the warranty, which Lowe's did not mention at all during the purchase!!
Called Samsung again and apparently, I need to get a Lowe's worker to come and sign off on the installation which they want around 180$ for this...ridiculous as this should be a very fast process. But whatever gave in and set up appointment and paid the fee. My father disconnected the dishwasher to take a look while we were waiting as well. Well today was the day of the appointment and they don't even show up. I had to get someone to actually sit at my home 12-5 today as I work, and no one shows up, not even a call.
I called Lowe's around 5 and did not even get a real apology, just we don't know what happend you will be called a different day to reschedule goodbye. I felt the worker was very short brief and a little rude. So now I still have a unhooked dishwasher, and have to wait for an entirely new appointment to be made and get someone to be at the house again for this. This whole experience has been a waste of time and I will not be recommending this location in the future.

I wanted to have my vinyl kitchen floor tiled and three years after purchasing 12 boxes of tiles from Lowe's, I decided not to do it myself. The easiest thing seemed to have Lowe's do it for me. Boy, was I ever wrong! Their entire process seems to be flawed beyond belief. First, someone came to my house and took all the appropriate measurements without giving me much of a chance to provide any input. Then, four days later I was contacted by my local Lowe's store to come in and look at the estimate. Well, the estimate was what I considered to be astronomical in light of what needed to be done and even though I specifically told them I had already purchased the tile myself, the estimate involved a fee for oversize tiles that I'd never even mentioned.
I was able to talk to the people in the store and got the estimate reduced by $300.00, and was then told I'd be contacted by someone soon to arrange a time for the work to begin. FIVE DAYS LATER, I still hadn't heard from anyone about scheduling the work, although I did get a phone call giving me a toll-free number for any questions. When I did call that number, the menu was very confusing and after I just hit "0" for the operator, I had to wait ten minutes to talk to someone. I was told that there was some problem with my work order, but he couldn't tell me what it was and that he'd call the store to find out. After waiting another 10 minutes, I discovered that there was a question regarding my revised estimate AND the guy told me that they couldn't do anything since I didn't purchase any tile!
I emphasized that over and over again I'd told the people I'd talked to that I had 12 boxes of tile that were ready to go but no one had notated that on the work order. I then asked the question: So, if I hadn't called you myself, how long would I have to wait before anyone contacted me? I couldn't get an answer but was told that I'd be contacted soon about this. Five more days went by without a word and today I went to my local store and cancelled everything.
I wanted to have this done to surprise my wife who works overseas and was told along the way that I'd have it done before she returned. HA! I'll still use my local Lowe's to purchase things but I'll NEVER even consider having them install anything. It seems to me that this could have been done without any hassle whatsoever, but the process of sending out someone to make an estimate that I didn't see until days later and then having things go through a central office who had to work with a sub-contractor who evidently lives over 60 miles away is just ridiculous. I certainly learned a lesson.

I originally went to Lowe’s on Jordan Creek Parkway on Sunday in Des Moines, IA to buy a mower we have been researching for a couple weeks. They were out of the 52 inch Ariens that we wanted so that sales associate told us to go to the Lowe’s on 50th St. in Des Moines IA. He said they have them in stock there. We arrive at the 50th St. Lowe’s. After waiting almost 30 minutes to even find someone in the mowers area we get Willie. I had a couple questions about the Lowe's card but since we already knew what mower we were getting, he looked it up and said they had two in stock and asked if we needed it today? We said yes.
He said multiple times, that’s no problem. He can go back and assemble it. We checked out, and then Willie says come back a little before 6 PM to pick it up, on our way back to the store Willie calls and says that he wasn’t able to get the mower assembled. I said, "You told me multiple times that you would have it done today, we are now three minutes away from the store with our truck and trailer for the second time today." He said, "I’ll see what I can do."
We get to the store, I walk in and find Willie walking around straightening shelves. He wasn’t in the back assembling it. He never even tried to get it assembled. I ask him if we can just take it and assemble it ourselves. He said no, it has to be uncrated and inspected first. I said, "OK then. When can you have it done?" He said Wednesday. WEDNESDAY?!?! Why on earth would you tell a customer multiple times you will have it done today, when now you are now saying three days later?
At this point I am beyond frustrated and I walk up to customer service and ask to talk to Willie’s manager. I tell him the whole issue with Willie. He says he will have it rushed and have one of his guys put it together tomorrow and we can pick it up after 4 PM. I arrive the next day with our truck and trailer, again. The lady who helped us in the mower department I think her name was Jackie, she was very helpful. At first they can’t find our mower. They say it’s not assembled. I tell her the whole story that happened yesterday. She looks up the mower. They put it under the wrong name. Go figure! She then has to call another manager over to now “steal” it from this customer. What a mess! I would NOT recommend buying a mower from Lowe's ever! It was a disaster that just kept getting worse.

I like Lowe's products but I am surprised that they do not have the contracted resources available for their required customer "installation services". Their contracts state that they will provide the customer with professional services that may at times be noisy but they will not install their products if there are structural issues involved. Since they have to, service people who live in older and newer homes and allow custom orders and trim and molding installation services they must at times have issues regarding structural adjustments for doors, windows, and floors.
The company does not specifically write that new or old homes without electricity do not qualify for their services but their installation company Legacy states that Lowe's does not provide free generator use for their installers and that it is acceptable to ask a neighbor to use their home outlets for electricity service when installing their neighbor's purchased products.
Any home that is in need of new or replacement doors and windows is not secure enough to spend $1,000 installing new electricity and plumbing lines, and the company's subtle maneuvering around providing less help to people with less, wealth, fame, or popularity may make them liable for property theft and/or neglect issues because their customer's home are not secured quickly with the home security products that they are buying from the company. Since Lowe's agreed to compete with Home Depot to provide certain products and services to their shoppers which may qualify them, for special advertising, import, tax, an/or insurance discounts, they should be required to spend the money to hire dependable local handymen and provide them with tools and resources to allow them to get their job completed correctly after an item is purchased.

Do NOT I repeat do not waste your money to get doors installed through Lowe's. I have never been more disappointed and mad about an install experience. We spent thousands of dollars on custom office doors and it was a complete nightmare. First, they didn’t deliver the door jamb so they couldn’t install the day they were supposed to, it was delivered later that day after they “found” it in the back room. The door jamb they delivered was too big so the doors had a huge gap between them. They wouldn’t let the installer do anything to fix it (since it would void the warranty) so I waited another week for a new jamb to come, it finally came and this one was too small and the doors wouldn’t shut. I told them this needed to be completed that day since my house has been under construction and I have two small kids.
After our installer worked until 5:30pm he ended up needing more trim. Once he arrived the next day 1.5 hours later than he said he would be there, he realized he bought the wrong trim and needed to go back to Lowe's and get more. He was gone for another 2.5 hours due to the Lowes not having the right size. After he came back he finished the install of the doors, he then informed me that he isn’t supposed to do any touch ups of the door/paint the door or anything according to Lowe's. I am sorry but seriously!? What person in their right mind would be ok with just having the doors installed and not having a finished product? My husband now has to paint the doors since they do not match the white paint and have marks on them. This has been a complete nightmare, I will never ever ever recommend Lowe's to anyone ever, I will go out of my way to tell people not to use Lowe's. Do not waste your money or time.

I ordered a stove online from Lowe's on March 23, 2019. We had just moved to a new home that did not have a working stove at the start of April, the delivery was scheduled for April 16, 2019. I took a day off from work on the scheduled day, I found it odd that Lowe's wouldn't send some sort of delivery confirmation email or phone call in the days leading up.
Finally I called Lowe's on the day of Delivery about 2pm and immediately realized they had no plans of delivering my stove that day, they seemed completely unconcerned that I took time off from work due to the appointment they set. I was rescheduled for the following Tuesday, April 23, 2019, this time I did receive an confirmation email the day prior. The following morning I receive a call that the delivery driver was a no show and that my stove could not be delivered, until Saturday, April 27th. This entire process could not be any more irritating, the casualness in which Lowe's misses and reschedules appointments on paying customers with no concern over their time, or need for their product is the worst part. I noticed from several other reviews here that I'm not alone in my frustration. They have offered a discount that I can not receive until the stove is in my home, we'll see if that ever happens.

Updated on 04/25/2019: This is the update status on my last review. On Apr. 20, I spoke with Lana, Service manager at Sunnyvale store. She promised that someone will call me on 4/21 for the delivery on 4/22. I asked her, can I trust her this time. She said YES. There was nothing happened on 4/21 nor 4/22. On 4/23 I call delivery department and Cynthia informed me that there is note saying hold the delivery on my materials pellet. Nobody knows that it is held for! Now Cynthia is the one can execute the delivery to my place on Apr. 24. Thanks Gods. Thanks Cynthia. But I feel sorry for you to work in Lowe’s.
Original review: I placed an order online on 3/21/2019 for re-install the fence and set up a delivery date for 4/20/2019. On 4/19 I received an email and text asking me to confirm the delivery next day between 7:30-11:30AM. I hired an constructor to demolish my old fence and waiting for the materials. 11:45AM no truck shows up, I called and Lowe's said they postponed my delivery 3-4 days later. The person answered my phone asked me to contact with Lowe's local store because he know nothing further.
I went to local store (Sunnyvale, CA) and met Martin and his manager Lana. The answer I got from these 2 employees is their delivery truck did not wait for loading up my stuffs. They blamed to the truck company. I purchased and paid $80 of delivery charge to Lowe's, and set up for delivery 1 month later. I even got the delivery confirmation by email and text one day before the day. Should I care about their truck company's fault? Lowe's service manager at Sunnyvale,CA store seems to know nothing other than repeating what her subordinate told her. She even does not know the phone number of her delivery department. What a shame! I purchased Lowe's products and expected their better service over Home Depot, but I was wrong. They have no responsibility of their obvious faults.

We purchased a riding mower from Lowe's in April of 2018. In June of 2018, it stopped running. After a week they finally came and got it and took it in for repair. The repair people put in a new battery but did not know what had caused the problem. Now it is April of 2019 and again, the mower will not run. Once again they refuse to replace the item, refused to issue a refund, and said it will have to go to repair again. So once again we have to wait 4 days for them to pick it up, who knows how many days until we get it back, and then I am sure it will break again as it is obviously a lemon. The lack of customer service is appalling. I tried to get in touch with a district or regional manager and the store managers and their pathetic excuse for a customer service department flat out refused to give me contact information. However, they have no problems giving my contact information to a third party. I will NEVER shop at a Lowe's store again. Hello Home Depot!

I am a landscape gardener in Fort Worth. I went to the nursery section to buy some plants for a customer. I asked your nursery worker Lynn for some advice. She seemed frustrated that I asked so I looked around myself for a while. When I approached her again she saw me and said "What?" in a very rude tone. I explained to her that I was a landscape gardener and she just lost Burleson Lowe's a customer. She mumbled what I believe to be cursing under her breath and walked off. In the process she slammed down one of your pricing machines and left it there. Anyone could have taken it and priced anything they wanted. I picked it up and found her to give it back and she snatched it off me with no thank you. This lady should not be in customer service as customers appear to annoy her. I certainly won't be a customer anymore.

Our dishwasher stopped working, so I went to Home Depot and Lowe's to get a replacement. Both stores had similar brands, cost etc, and at both stores, it seemed I knew more about dishwashers than any "expert" "working" in that department. But, I needed a new dishwasher. I bought a Bosch in full and actually took it home - in the hopes of speeding up the installation process. I was promised a call to set up the installation within 3 days, and 7-10 window. Well, here I am 10 days later. No call, no installation. No one answers the phone when I call Lowe's. Better to go to an appliance store, pay a little extra and get some actual service.

I'm very happy with my experience at Lowe's! While we were looking for a new Bosch dishwasher last year, the helpful salesman at the local Lowe's talked us out of a Bosch (we had one earlier and loved it) and had us buy a KitchenAid dishwasher since it was 'better' than Bosch. We waited almost 4 weeks for a dishwasher that we were told we would have in 2 weeks but since it was being 'made' for us upon us ordering it, hey it must be good!
Wrong, not even a year has passed since we got it, it has been repaired 3 times, requiring a new pump motor and control panel as well as the locking switch. Oh yeah, after the motor/control panel were replaced, the first time we ran it, it leaked water since the tubing had become disconnected after the 'repair' and the national rep for the local repairman KNOWS his employee didn't do it. Now we have a torn up kitchen floor in our custom built home and since this happened we found out that our flooring company, Shaw, stopped making our floor.
This means the WHOLE first floor has to be torn up since we can't match the floor, nor can the insurance company, but hey we now know Shaw doesn't make our floor anymore! So now we get to spend the next week in a hotel, farm out our dogs to sitters and empty the whole first floor just like we are moving again. Oh, I won't be buying another appliance from Lowe's and you must know, our new flooring is NOT by Shaw!

Bought Frigidaire refrigerator with warranty told less on refrigerator, less repair March 2017. March 2019 refrigerator stopped working. Have had 3 visits from repair men. First they couldn’t work on it because no one told me to keep unit running, took a week for this to happen. Took another week for a so called repair that didn’t work. Whole time having to use an ice chest - no loaners available as warranty says they will pay for. Refrigerator still didn’t work. Had third repair 10 days later still using ice chest to live also taking care of 95 year old mother on insulin.
Yesterday 4-15 refrigerator not working again. Asked to get a replacement or money back. The answer no because warranty pays for fixing unit. How ABSURD? They have put more money into trying to fix it then I paid for it. Yet I am living out of an ice chest 2.89 a bag they don’t pay for and trying to buy food without even being repaid for the first time it went down. STAY AWAY FROM LOWE'S AND THEIR INSURANCE.

After three years of use the Washer tub bearing began to fail the third week of March, 2019. It got worse and worse the next week. I called Lowe’s warranty program 3/21/19. The man was very nice and scheduled a repairman visit for the following Tuesday, but he came Monday as was in the area. The repairman simply spun the tub by hand and said the bearing had gone bad, it could only be replaced by installing a new transmission. He said they would order it and it would arrive in 3-5 days, and I would be called then. No one ever contacted me from Lowe’s, ever.
When I called them after four days, I was told it's an expensive part and they might want to replace the washer instead of paying for the repair. It would be cheaper for them to just replace it. They said I would be called within 3 days with their decision. They never called. I called after three days and was told the same thing, but they never called again. After four or five calls every three days I talked to a nice supervisor who arranged for another repairman visit. This time I ran the machine on spin cycle for the repairman so as to hear how deafeningly loud the noise was. He said the tub bearing was bad. This time I made sure he wrote down in his report that the bearing was "bad".
After five days, and 25 days since I first called Lowe’s, On 4/15/19 I called Lowe’s and ask to speak to the supervisor. The call took 45 minutes to speak to the supervisor for a few minutes. She said her name was Courtney. She referred to the repairman report omitting the the part where he stated the bearing was bad. She said despite the excessive noise on spin from the bad bearing, if the machine was still able to complete its wash cycles, the Lowe’s warranty I had purchased for 5 yrs, for $109, would not be honored. She was quite "mater-of-fact" in her tone, non-apologetic, did not show any concern for my dilemma.
I asked for their claim denial to be provided to me in writing so that I could show it to the judge. She said it wasn't available in writing. But I could request it from their legal department in No Carolina, but could only write to them if I was a lawyer. I asked if I could cancel the remaining warranty contract and receive a refund. She said yes it would be pro-rated, but in my case it would be $0.

My deck installation has to be the worst example of workmanship ever. The contractor doesn't know county codes, and I'm not sure where he gets his help but they appeared very young, maybe temporary day help? Craftsmen, no Crapsmen! They Installed a partial fence and gate, also a deck. The fence posts were all different heights, some 4 ft some 6 ft, the gate was also dragging on the ground. They came and cut the posts but the gate still drags a little. The Deck was installed 1 inch above the patio door threshold and connected to the house with some little screws. The composite decking was all scratched, also 2 boards were not the same brand and pattern, the fiberglass railing was not installed the height I wanted.
They came and replaced 4 gouged and scratched deck boards, and the 2 boards that were a different color and pattern. They bolted the Deck underneath to the house but didn't screw some bolts in all the way. Also lowered the deck below the threshold. Railing was still not right and I still had more scratched Deck boards. They came back and supposedly replaced scratched/gouged boards, although they seem to still be there! They also replaced the railing to the right height. A couple weeks later the railing started to break away from the posts. They had screwed the fiberglass brackets too tight and cracked all of them so now the railing is all falling apart. Lowe's just keeps saying the brackets are on order. Also, the installer pounded some of the posts caps so hard that the tops are flattened instead of coming to a peak. I have so many things that need replaced in my house, but it won't be products or services from Lowe's.

Multiple requests for products are met with no information. Upon ordering, I find they just don't have it and can't say when they will. 7 miles further up the road, Home Depot seems to have what I'm looking for every time and at the same or similar pricing. Home Depot's customer service is usually consistent which is about all a person can ask for these days... Even when in person, asking a customer rep about an item I'm seeking, Lowe's loses out on every personal visit and every internet attempt at ordering that I've found. I'm not a commercial customer, but have gone so many times to Lowe's only to find they just flat out don't have what I need and end up driving up the road to Home Depot or even Ace Hardware to find what I'm looking for. Lowe's needs to reevaluate their focus before they become a boarded up store with Closed sign in front of it.

I have done a bunch of shopping at my local Lowe's store in remodeling my home. I often buy more than I think I might need of an item, knowing I can return the unopened items if need be. My son needed some 2 x 4s so I told him to take back a container of grout tile that was unopened for credit and he could use for his wood. He received an in-store credit for the rest of the item. Just went to use, and found that they tied this card to my son's drivers license, and without it, could not be used. I especially liked the clerk explaining to me in front of other customers that they do this so an ID is tied to a return without a receipt, in case I had stolen the item and tried to return. Home Depot is 5 minutes further away. I will shop there now.

Very disappointed, I purchased a full line of Samsung Kitchen appliances from the store located at 2150 Minton Rd, Melbourne, FL 32904. During my purchase I was asked if I was interested in a three year extended warranty which would begin to take effect after the one year manufactures warranty ended. My husband and I decided to purchase the warranty.
Since our purchase we have had continuous issues from both our refrigerator and our range. We have had them repaired almost a dozen times now. Aside from those frustrations, my biggest disappointment was learning that the salesperson had given us incorrect information. I called in to make yet another claim on my range yesterday and was informed that my warranty is no longer active. I asked why it was inactive and was told that it was expired. I was then informed that my warranty started on the date of my purchase and that it did not in fact start after the one year manufactures warranty ended.
I think it is very unfair and unacceptable to sell a warranty with incorrect information. It is also unfair and unacceptable to start a warranty on the date of purchase when my delivery was so far delayed due to the store not having my appliances in stock. Needless to say, I intend to take my business elsewhere from now on. Amanda **.

I am so upset with this place, the Conway Lowe's never has anyone to help. You have to stand and wait for someone who is does not even know anything about the product. Also they advertise things that they don't even have any of in the store. Twice I went for a sale items on the first morning of the sale and both items I went for were out of stock and they don't give rainchecks so you just wasted your gas getting there. And customer service was rude about the whole situation.

Ordered 2 stock windows. Order will take almost a month to process. Why? Also could not pickup up at Lowe's close to me. Both Lowe's said not available and they do not give you the option of having them delivered to your local Lowe's. So I ordered them from a Lowe's farther away. It showed they had them but now our order shows 1 month to get them. So confused. Will not ever order windows again from Lowe's.

We opted to buy our next GE Stackable Washer/Dryer from Lowe's, over the more pricey local appliance store. We are wishing we could go back in time at this point. My husband left the store with the assurance he had all the parts necessary to complete the installation, which he's done before in other units we've had. They neglected to sell him the actual power cord to the machine, though he asked. Good grief. He had to drive all the way back. Some little old lady was the 'sales person' for appliances, and the whole time didn't seem like she knew what was happening around her.

Items purchased four months ago have yet to be installed (though told they were shipped to local store. Every time you call, a different representative answers... who doesn’t have a clue on the status. I was advised to go thru a true “contractor; I wish I had. Very disappointing.

We bought 4 major appliances last month and have had nothing but trouble from this store. I will never go back. Our items are in a cooler on our porch even we just bought a refrigerator a month ago. It is broken and because it’s been 40 days since purchasing instead of 30 days they won’t do anything to help. We had to fight with the store re delivery of washer and dryer.

I purchased a sterling shower system and upon opening the products every part was broken. I had to go to 2 stores to replace shower components. Upon installing the new shower I found I was given the wrong size side walls. So I take a 3rd trip to the store to get what they said was my correct size. When I tried to install it it just didn't fit. After putting the shower bases item number in Lowe's website, I find that from the very beginning I had the completely wrong set of walls from the beginning. So called stores service desk, got transferred to the plumbing department and was promptly hung up on. I repeated this process 3 more times with the same results. So I called the corporate helpline. A case file with started and I was asked to wait 24 hour period for someone should contact me.
After 30 hours I call back to see where my case was at. I was asked to wait another 24 hours and my case was escalated. Another 24-hours pass and no one contacts me. So I call 3rd time and once again they say that they will escalate my case and someone will call me in 24 hours. They suggested I call several stores to see if they had what I needed in stock and gave me a couple of suggestions from what they can see on the computer. I called the store closest to me that showed they had the product and was hung up on three times after being transferred to the plumbing department. So I called back the corporate line and they assured me that someone would call me within 24 hours because they escalated it to a store managers response.
After this I called for stores. Finally found two stores that might have the product. Went to those doors and found the first one had only part of my order I needed. The second store actually had both parts miraculously and I swapped out the wrong parts and took them home. The following week 5 days after the last contacted the corporate helpline I finally get called by the store and they wanted to know if I got my problem solved and when I told them I did in the trouble that I had gone through didn't even really get a legitimate apology.

So disappointed in Lowe's Machesney Park IL store. Back in November I purchased a door. The first door came in damaged and I never saw it because the damage was bad enough they automatically ordered a new one. The second door came in and made it to my home. It too was damaged and the entirely wrong door. I ordered mahogany grain with a brown wood stain. I got a nearly purple "mahogany" colored door. This door also was damaged to the point I would not have let it be installed even if it were the correct one.
I am now waiting on door number 3. It has been 5 months. I also ordered 15 windows at the same time. 4 arrived obviously broken. They were sent back and the other 11 were installed. The saga of communicating with our "rep" has been abysmal. The level of unprofessionalism is so astounding I have had to stop and wonder if I'm on some kind of prank show. I received one call from her and when I answered she said "Yeah I got a voicemail." If the number hadn't come up as Lowe's Customer Service I would have had no idea what she was talking about. In that conversation she let me know she had been emailing me but I wasn't responding. I asked her what email address she had and she gave me my dead 13 year old child's email address. How she even had that, I will never know.
After months of waiting, the 4 replacement windows arrive and we had noticed issues with the windows that had been installed. ALL 11 windows are broken or have major defects. The installers wouldn't even install the other windows because the situation is so bad. I waited another week and reached out to our point of contact Cassandra again who was "just getting ready to call me" and she is "just about to" email the store to get in touch with the Reliabuilt Rep. When I tell her I would like to speak to someone else as she has been wildly unhelpful she refuses and gets mad that I would want to escalate this further.
I have junk windows in my home that are all needing to be replaced and she doesn't see how this is an issue. I want this situation resolved so I can sell my home, Their delays have already cost us the home we planned to purchase and now here we are 5 months into this ordeal and I still have no resolution. 5 months and still no door and still no windows. Then as it turns out I was sold the bottom of the barrel on windows. The salesperson completely misled me and I guess I am the dumb one for listening to him and not going with the windows I was intending.
Thank God I didn't start any other projects with them. I was planning a lot more work but Lowe' s will not get any more business from me. I will have the floors and countertops I ordered yesterday from somewhere else before this situation is resolved. I have been patient. I have been understanding. I have been everything you'd want in a customer in a bad situation but 5 months is LONG ENOUGH. I want this fixed. I want it done RIGHT and I want it done NOW! This barely scratches the surface of what we've been through for what SHOULD have been a straightforward project. I even Paid in Full so I'm now out over $15000 for NOTHING!!!

Where to begin. The fact that this store can open its doors is a miracle in itself. Not sure how employees find there way back on a daily basis. The employees spend the majority of their time huddled together doing nothing but gossiping. If one needs help it is most beneficial to find another customer in the area and ask. There have been multiple times that I have helped other customers load wood and then they would help me. Store employees were to busy huddled up at the customer service desk. Typical number of employees at customer service desk are at least 10. If you are in the store itself there are no employees.
Let me pick the last time I went to the store. It was Saturday March 16 2019 at 9:30 in the morning. I purchased 4x8 sheets of external siding. There were no other customers to help me load the material. I had to load the material on a vertical style cart myself, on the end row near the cash register. Why a vertical cart the employees do not bring carts in from outside. I could not find a sheet cart in parking lot and none were available in the store. After loading the 11 sheets of material I proceeded to check out. Paid for the material and pushed cart into loading area. Brought my truck to loading area and attempted to load material myself.
Finally gave up and asked cashier if there was any way I could get help. She stuck her head out the door and asked another employee who was lounging on the cement bags to help if he had time. He was not wearing anything that identified him as an employee. So I was not aware he worked there. We got the material loaded. After completing this I parked my truck back in the parking lot and returned inside to pick up a few other items that I had on my list. I noticed a horizontal style cart left in the middle of the door with 2 trash cans on it full of garbage. A woman in front of me walked past the garbage and went behind the Pro Desk (Nothing Identifying who she was) I picked up my remaining items and got in line to pay.
The cashier did something that required a manager to reset the cash register. She requested a Manager 3 times over the intercom all the while the line is getting longer. Finally the woman I walked in behind got up and brought her card over to reset the cash register and commented she was not working. AHA she was a manager who walked past 2 garbage cans in the door and did nothing (were still there by the way). Lot of store pride there.
Now Sunday March 31 I placed an order online for pick up at Lowe's Olive Branch. Everything is in stock got confirmation Email being processed. Ordered 4 50# sacks of Pennington Grass seed. Received call from Lowe's Monday 4/1/19 Grass seed is not in stock. I asked the person about that because the Website says there are 21 bags in stock. She commented, "Yes it says that but that's not correct." They looked and can't find it. (Missing 1000# of grass seed and who cares) She says, "I can get 5 40# bags and will still receive the 20% discount that was offered on the original order." Received the price and said that's fine. She will change the order. My wife was going to be in town and I asked her to pick it up. (Big mistake)
After arriving at the store she stood at the online order counter for 30 minutes while all of the employees were gossiping at the customer service desk. Finally she goes to the Customer Service Desk and is now in the back of the Line 30 minutes later she reaches the counter. Gives them the information with order number. The Lowe's employee finds it n the computer and says it is not ready. Who cares about the Email I have that says come pick it up. They were confused as what to do because they did not have the grass seed. My wife went over the conversation that was had. The person at customer service desk is more confused now because the computer is showing 17 bags of grass seed in stock.
My wife is now frustrated and calls me. I really do not care as long as I get 200#'s of grass seed at the correct price. They proceed to make this big production of of how big a discount they are giving us because of the issues. 2.5 hours later my wife finally has the fertilizer and Seed loaded. looks at the receipt and discovers the Military discount is not on there. Back to stand in line at customer Service 30 minutes later adjustments are made. How much was the discount you ask without the military discount. $0.02215/lb. The only reason I used to shop at Lowe's was because of the Military discount 10% off is not bad.
Interestingly when you check out it pops up on the cashier's screen "Read to customer: Thank you for your service." That does not happen at Lowe's in Olive Branch Mississippi. There is the chance that the employees can't read. I know that they do not work. Called the store and asked for the Manager, Not available, Left my number, No returned call. Called Lowes Customer Service corporate number asked for the Regional manager to call me. Received ticket Number **. No return call. Quite Obviously the Regional Manager doesn't care much either. Maybe this store would be a good one to have secret shoppers or have the CEO come work for a day. Home Depot is just down the street. Will start going there. Not worth 10% to have to deal with Lazy people.

Lowe's charged me for 42 lf of fencing, a 10 ft drive gate, and a 4 ft walk gate. When installed I received 28 lf of fencing, an 8 ft drive gate, and a 4 ft walk gate. I was clearly shorted the drive gate I paid for, but more importantly the 14 feet of fencing that was never delivered or installed. I have been back and forth with the sales department and they refuse to make it right. I have a clear contract that outlines this and physical proof that I did not receive what I initially paid for.

No one told us we had to pay a separate installation charge. So on delivery day the poor delivery guy informed us that we had to schedule and pay separately to get it installed.

In Jan. of 2017 we purchased a Samsung clothes washer and a 3-year extended warranty. Yesterday, my wife informed me that the underside of the top-load door is rusting and the white paint raised and chipping off. This is allowing for rust to drip onto our clothes. I contacted Samsung and explained the situation. I even sent them a picture of the rust. They informed me that they would be glad to help, but since I purchased the extended warranty from Lowe's, I would have to call their repair service and report the problem. I did so, and spoke with a lady named Neisha, who told me that it was merely a cosmetic flaw, and was not covered. I believe this to be a flaw in materials and workmanship, which is covered. All I wanted was a new door so I could wash my clothes with confidence. I have always depended on Lowe's, but no more!

What's up with the Port Orchard WA Lowe's? It's really going downhill. Just came from the store and left without many items as we could not get help.

The Lowe's employee in that department was a very young gentlemen who tried to assist but the carpet machine would not function. He went all over the store trying to find help but was not able to. Lowe's Port Orchard needs more employees and ones like this young man. I might have to start driving farther and go to Home Depot where I at least can get the items I need.

Lowe's should be absolutely ashamed to offer a delivery and installation service. Leave it to another gigantic corporation to outsource the work to inept third parties. We tried three separate times to have a simple oven hood installed. Each time the delivery persons were late. The first time, they showed up to simply take measurements and told us that the installation would be a few weeks away. The second time, they showed up without us even making an appointment and no one was home. Unsettling much? It is simply infuriating. The third and final time the delivery persons were supposed to arrive between 1-3:30 PM and call us before they did. They arrived at 4:45, never called, and didn't even say "hello" when they arrived at the door. Monkeys could do the job that these people are assigned to do, but even a monkey would have better time management. My only wish is that I could rate them 0 stars out of 5.

Our experience with Lowe's from the time we made the purchase and signed the contract was a disaster from the day we went in to sign the contract... We should have gone elsewhere. Never in my life have we been put through so much. At this moment Lowe's couldn't sell me a bottle of water after 5 days in the Sahara. We went in and told them we were needing carpeting and needing it fairly quickly because our daughter and her family were moving in temporarily. It was the beginning of March and Jeremiah the salesperson said having it done by April 1st wouldn't be a problem. So we went to the next phase and that was when someone would be out to measure the rooms... 8 days later they arrived. After measuring they said it could be up to 48 hours and Lowe's would contact us to come in to pick out the carpet and sign the contract. 2 days later we got a call and went in on Thursday.
Next phase...the contract: we arrive and there is a guy that is stocking shelves. We are standing by the computer. Pretty certain he can tell we are waiting for help. He keeps stocking so I looked at him and pushed the call for service button. He slowly moves up the aisle to help us. We tell him that we are there to pick out carpeting and to sign the contract. He pushes a couple of buttons and says he's new and needs to get someone to help. Ok, sure! He brings over a manager from the door department cause evidently they don't have enough staff in each department so they have to count on managers that know nothing about the other departments.
She proceeds to stand there for quite a while and finally admits she doesn't know what she's doing so she calls another manager from lawn and garden! Mind you we are not ordering topsoil, just carpeting. This guy though finally manages to get the contract printed after calling the floor manager at home. This is an hour later.
We proceed to look over the contract and they say the carpet has already been ordered. How was it ordered when we haven't picked it out. Evidently Jeremiah saw what we were looking at when we first came in and thought he knew what we wanted so ordered it. Problem is, it wasn't the right color. Then we began to look at the contract and it was a lot less than what it was supposed to be. Not only did Jeremiah order the wrong carpet, he did the contract without the pad and even though the contract was wrong, they didn't have the ability to change it.
So 2 and 1/2 hours later, after they have called the manager at home again, it is decided that she will do a whole new contract with the right carpet and pad in the morning and we can come back and sign it the following night. So we came back March 15, 2019 with high hopes that we would finally have this disaster over and done with and we would have new carpeting before my daughter moves in. NOT SO FAST!!!! SILLY US FOR STILL BEING HOPEFUL! Said carpeting won't be in until the 27th. Being hopeful again, cause we cant quite grasp that it could get worse, we signed that contract, paid for it in full and waited in anticipation of having that new carpet. Thinking that the installers would still be there. It would give them 4 days to get it in and the move would begin.
My husband decided to go to Lowe's to follow up on the order and Jeremiah said it would be there a day early! Great he says! So again we wait. The day it was supposed to come in, we didn't hear from Lowe's so my husband called the following day. New guy answers and says, "I don't know why Jeremiah would tell you that cause it's not getting here from California until Friday. So I call customer service at corporate cause I really feel they should know that they have several employees that really don't know what they are doing and they have made this experience a stressful mess.
So I make a complaint and lo and behold, our carpet is in and the installers call to schedule the installation. Awesome, right? NO...it's not being installed until 2 weeks later! I am just done. Stick a fork in me done. The thought of Lowe's keeping our money after all this truly disgusts me, but do we really want to start this all over? No!!! We are stuck, but the great news is, you don't have to be. DO NOT BUY FLOORING AT LOWE'S NO MATTER WHAT!

We should have known from the start with their lack of response to even getting us a quote that things weren't going to go well. Took almost 2 months to track them down, us calling them to follow up on things they said they were doing, and finally got our carpet ripped up and wood flooring down. Was told it was a one day job, took them two. Got a robocall a few days before they were scheduled to be here to bring materials inside (materials that we had to pick up, they don't bring them, didn't know that until they were in at the store from being ordered) prior to job. Tried calling number left to ask questions, sat on hold for 45 minutes, then 30 min when tried calling back. Called the Tilton Lowe's, tried to get to the flooring department, but the most unpleasant lady that answered at the service desk didn't like that my call kept coming back to her because they weren't picking up the phone in the department.
Fast forward - Job was finished, few months later the transition pieces from wood floor in our hallway to one of our carpeted bedrooms came up. Went into Lowe's, asked for someone to fix it. They send out a "Carpet guy" who tells me he can't do anything because he does carpets, not wood. We go back to Lowe's, the guy in flooring remembers us (he better by now), offers us the transition piece free for us to fix it ourselves (that was the ONLY good thing that happened during this whole process).
We reapplied it, but it's once again coming up, as are all of the other transition pieces. If they didn't have the proper materials or way to fix it, why wouldn't they just say something instead of do a poor job? NOW, we've noticed that gaps are forming between where one end of wood stops and the other starts in our hallway. This is happening in three spots. We are over our 1 year mark of install, so they will more than likely say "too bad." DO NOT GO THROUGH LOWE'S FOR FLOORING. USE A SMALL MOM AND POP BUSINESS AND PAY MORE. Save yourself the headache!

I purchased a dishwasher from the Brookhaven, PA store on February 2. In advance of the purchase, and at the insistence of the man I worked with in the appliance section, I paid to have someone from Lowe's come to my house and take measurements to make sure the dishwasher I selected would fit. When I purchased the dishwasher, I was assured it would fit because the measurements previously taken gave no indication it would not.
On the day of installation, the plumber called to tell me the dishwasher wouldn't fit. Apparently, I need a specific size. I returned to Lowe's and explained the situation to a different associate, who helped me select a dishwasher that would fit. This new model was slightly more expensive than the model I had originally purchased, but after speaking to her manager, she told me I would not be charged the difference in an effort to correct the mistake that had been made by Lowe's. According to her, there was one model of this particular dishwasher left on the floor, and she was going to set it aside for me. She said she would contact the plumber, and once he returned the model that did not fit, he could pick up the new dishwasher and arrange for its installation.
On the new day of installation, the plumber called and told Lowe’s didn’t have a dishwasher for me, and that no one in the appliance department knew what was going on. I called Lowe’s, and after some back and forth, the appliance manager, Kevin, realized that the previous associate tried to do an exchange in the system, but it didn’t work because she should have returned the first dishwasher and entered the second dishwasher as a new purchase. Kevin was able to locate the second dishwasher I selected in the system and placed a new order.
On the day it was set to be installed, I discover Kevin had ordered a stainless steel model, even though I wanted white. When I contacted both customer service and Kevin, I was basically told that all of this was my fault, and that I had never specified which color I wanted. I will now have to wait an additional two weeks for the white model to arrive. This has been a very poor customer service experience, and I do not appreciate being blamed for the situation nor spoken to in a condescending manner.

I was so upset!! At this point, I've been stuck at home for 7 HOURS waiting on this delivery. I spoke with the night manager named Chris and he did not believe anyone at the store cancelled the delivery but vowed to get to the bottom of it.
He was in contact over the next 24 hours but had no meaningful updates other that confirming they did not cancel, while the delivery company says that they did. As the two blame each other, I'm stuck in the middle demanding answers, compensation, and my delivery! I get a random automated call the next evening telling me my order will be delivered the following day between 12:30-4:30. NO ONE reached out confirming the date was good, they just scheduled it. Therefore I had to scramble, rearrange plans and miss ANOTHER day of work. Since the delivery, all communication stopped with Chris although he promised to get to the bottom of what happened and I requested to be compensated. I have had the worst experience ever from your Newark, DE location!
Never again will I patronize your company and I will be providing my experience on social media as well as other complaint websites to let people know how awful your customer service is! No one took responsibility for my inconvenience as well as missed time from work. Instead they blindly plopped me on the calendar and marked me off as complete. This entire ordeal was so unorganized and unprofessional that I felt like I was dealing with a smaller inexperienced company! I could not believe I was be treated like this as LOWE'S!! This is completely unacceptable and for a company your size you should be ashamed!

Went to Lowe’s to replace three craftsman tools, 3/8 drive Rachet, craftsmen 9/16 gear wrench, 1 1/4 drive swivel socket. Lowe’s would not warranty any of the tools or order replacements. Was told to contact craftsmen warranty department. Attempted to contact warranty dept. Went thru four different people who could barely speak English, after an hour being put on hold gave up. Good luck trying to get warranty on these tools.

Terrible service. Ordered storm doors 2 months ago. They screwed up the order. Sent the installation request giving them a wrong phone #. We even changed it in the store, but they still got it wrong. So I keep waiting and then called them when they worked out they had the wrong #!!! So then they sent the order to another company and I waited over 2 weeks for them. When the doors came in they called but they needed 4 days to check the order. They turn up to install the door and there is a part missing! On top of that he installed it wrong and there was a gap that would let bugs in.
I asked him and he had the nerve to say that it was a cheap door ($600 plus installation) so I shouldn't expect much. I then waited three weeks for them to order a BOLT (That missing part that they didn't know about even though they 4 days to check it). So the company was supposed to come at 11am today. Guess what as seems to be the usual lousy service from Lowe’s. They never turned up. NEXT TIME HOME DEPOT (LOWE’S may be out of business by then).

Install was messed up from the start. The installer Lowe's hired cut the flooring right in the house and we had sawdust all over the house. Two years later the floor is buckling from a improper install that Lowe's contractor performed. All they will tell you is, "The install warranty period is over... Too bad."

In terms of customer experience, it's among the bleakest and most unfriendly retail establishments I've ever visited. If you are lucky you'll find someone there who wants to help you find what you are looking for. Otherwise, they are extremely rude and most of the time don't know what they are doing for the department they're in. They often tell you, "Well I will give you a call" when I research what went wrong but never calls, even the managers. The cashiers and service desk people act like they wish you were dead and look as though they'd sooner drink turpentine than deal with another customer. If you can stand the miserable people who work there, yes, you'll generally find what you need. If you have the option of going to Home Depot, do that instead. I am about to cancel my credit account with them and go to Home Depot. It's a shame because I would rather travel to Home Depot than deal with them any longer.

I am a a professional house investor (over 25 years) that has seen it ALL. And been to ALL the Lowe's stores in Indiana and New York and other states. I travel out of my way to purchase from the Lowe's in Franklin Indiana. It is the customer service and Manager that gets my business (I am probably their number 1 online order customer). I do house remodeling for a living (even a well known TV show I have worked on).
I have experienced ALL the delays and excuses and screw ups you can imagine. How about sitting a table with a TV agent telling you have to buy a refrigerator or your house won't sell? Well Lowe's kept calling and said it was on its way... Then they said it HAD been delivered and I am sitting there with the guy listening to me yelling, "They STOLE MY REFRIGERATOR and I am contacting police right now" (Showed up Late in evening...they found it in one of the delivery guys' garages). Oh same deal days before... my thousands of dollars of roofing materials had been delivered and I even signed for them? Hmm, I was in hospital...got out and had this other store try to find that receipt WITH my signature. OOPS they couldn't... Well this was another store.
I GOT LUCKY and found the FRANKLIN INDIANA STORE. The manager definitely treats me right. Ok, I spend THOUSANDS every month. I go out of my way to buy from this store...even though my properties are VERY close to another store. Screw ups happen...but it seems this store always makes it right one way or another. Can't always get a refund but a store credit will do for me. Thank You Franklin...your customer William **.

I ordered an Elkay LSR27224 sink on January 26, 2019. Despite many promised and failed delivery dates, I still have not received my order. I have had to initiate all inquiries as to the status of the order and when promises have been made for customer service supervisors to follow up with me with an update, zero communication. I have contacted Lowe's customer service at least 6 times and talked to 3 different supervisors and the excuse varies between the sink is on backorder and due to arrive at the distributor (H.M. Wallace) and ship next week to it just arrived at the distributor (HMW) on Friday, March 8, 2019 and will ship Monday 3/11 or Tuesday 3/12.
On Wednesday March 13 I called again because I didn't receive a tracking number as promised, I was told by the customer service agent and the supervisor they didn't like what they were hearing from the distributor (HMW), However, neither one shared what they were told. I have asked to elevate this issue to a regional manager or corporate executive multiple times and have been stopped at the customer service WALL every time I've asked.
I contacted the manufacturer (Elkay) on March 13, 2019 and was told they currently had eight (8) of the model LSR27224 in stock and there were no supply issues. I don't know if Lowe's or the Distributor is the problem, but it has become more than crystal clear, based on my experience, that Lowe's doesn't care about delivering their customers with the products that have been paid for in a reasonable time period. "LOWE'S DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE."

WARNING - installers hired by Lowe's are amateurs! We've had our 11KW standby generator with automatic transfer switch since Sept 2017. It goes through the weekly tests effortlessly. We have never had a power outage, so I can't attest to how it performs under those conditions. As we were thinking of actually selling the unit (since we don't seem to lose power at all where we live), we experienced a snow slide off our roof, which landed right on the lid of our generator and caved it in so we can no longer open it. A friend of ours just had one installed as well and was in utter shock that the unit was placed where it was because their installer explained to them that they had to put the unit far enough away from the house so that this very situation did not happen to them. They could not believe our installer made such an amateur error.
I contacted Lowe's and they said this is something I should have mentioned at installation, not now. Really? I'm paying thousands of dollars to have a pro install this unit and I'm supposed to be the expert and inform him that he's not picking the correct location??? After fighting for a while, they tried to tell me I need to call Generac and inquire about a warranty issue since this is not a Lowe's issue! Again, REALLY??? I said this has nothing to do with the warranty as the unit works, but everything to do with Lowe's installation location... which is literally beneath our roof line. We live in up north Michigan. We get snow. The unit was installed in a poor location and will never survive. Period.
I asked for a Lowe's supervisor and I have left four messages with one and have not heard back. I did reach out to Generac and they didn't know what else to say other than I could file a homeowner's insurance claim and call this an act of God. It's not an act of God... Lightning striking and hitting the unit is an act of God. If this is an act of God, then I invite anyone to park their car in the same spot in the winter. Or, pull up a lawn chair and have a seat there too. Because, as I'm being told, something would only happen to you if an act of God occurred.
So, bottom line... I have no problem with the product and I would recommend it to a friend... but with a HUGE warning that they get an installer that knows what they're doing and stands behind their work. But, because I can't even open my unit and it will continue to get crushed if not moved, I had to give it a one star rating because it would eventually become useless.

Am til Lowe's customer service is lacking in any service at all. After purchasing a Whirlpool Freezer for my daughter, as a gift from Lowes.com, They scheduled a delivery day and a time window of 9 am - 9 pm. Taking off work to accept it, they received a freezer with scratches and dents. When they questioned it, they were told it was a floor model. I called the customer service concerned because I had purchased a new freezer. Customer service told me they would call back within 24 hours, but that it was up to the local store (#0441) to make it right.
I called the local store and spoke to 3 different managers with no solution. Later that evening, they called and said they'd send another freezer out the next day. I was glad it would be solved and they would have their freezer. Taking more time off work to be there again from 9am-9pm, they delivered another freezer, this one was dented up worse than the original one. The driver said, "We know it's dented but they thought you'd take it for 10% off." They refused it.
I again called the store and spoke with them. They have NO SOLUTION neither does their Customer service. We want to just cancel the transaction, and purchase from somewhere else. They now are saying They can give us a pickup day of the freezer in 10 days again needing to take off work. I've asked to help us out and come after 5 pm, and they will not work with that. We are stuck with a dented freezer. I'm disappointed with Lowe's and if this is the customer service this company gives, I don't see myself doing business with them again.

It took the contractor 8 weeks to finish a renovation they said would take 2 weeks. They left our entire downstairs in shambles and turned off our electricity for days so we could not return to the property and destroyed over $300 dollars worth of food between the dirt and the turned off fridge. This winter, our window started leaking, and we found out the insulation put in the walls was not of a high enough grade and our new dishwasher froze and busted due to their bad insulation job. They left a space between the foundation of our house and the wall, and animals were getting into our house. My husband sprayed insulation foam into the holes and under the cupboards to try and keep animals out as it is winter and we don't have the skills to fix the issues. It has cost us extra this winter to keep our kitchen warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing.
Corporate is currently giving me the run around about our contract and if they are responsible for fixing any of it, because we didn't sign a second contract, but we did get permission to have the wall fixed when they tore it down and found black mold through Lowe's. The contractor also tore up our floors even though it wasn't part of the contract and they left us with no flooring in our kitchen because it wasn't Lowe's approved, so we know the wall was approved even though there is no second contract because the contractor was allowed to fix it before installing the kitchen.
Lowe's is shady and I've been complaining about our install for months and they have yet to send someone out to assess the leaks and broken items. Also as a side note everything was installed 1/2 an inch off and so nothing is centered in the room. The window frame is uneven, the sink is not centered under the window and the kitchen island is not centered in the room. I don't even care about this, I just want the leaking and animals to stop.

One of the installation contractors kept calling me to say the microwave was in and to schedule installation of the microwave. She called me 3 different times. I kept explaining to her that I was waiting for the range to arrive so they could both be installed on the same day because I could only take 1 day off work. When the range arrived we scheduled installation.
The installers arrived and installed the microwave and the range but when I pointed out that the propane conversion kit needed to be installed, they said they couldn't do it. They said their paperwork did not indicate propane gas. I showed them the line on my receipt that indicated propane gas. They said it was not on their paperwork and they couldn't do it. They called their office and waited on a call back that did not come. I called the installer's office and was told they would call me back. When they called back they said they could come the next day and I yelled "No!" They hung up on me.
I called the Lowe's store I bought it from and spoke to manager Amber who again offered a next day installation. I told her if I had to take another day from work it would be for them to pick up the range and that I expected a full refund of all fees. She agreed to it but asked if she could try to get it resolved. I'm still waiting on a call back from her. This is entirely unacceptable and if Lowe's cannot find better installation contractors they should stop selling appliances.

We ordered 1200$ worth of items on Lowe's website for delivery. We paid $120 for delivery of 300 boxes of tile, a bunch of drywall, and a bunch of more smaller things. Lowes.com sent us the receipt by email stating our delivery was to be fulfilled by 2 different stores, one in Gaylord, MI and one in Midland, MI. Both orders showed to be delivered 3/2/19. When we called Gaylord on 3/5/19, the lady (Wendy) stated they couldn't find the order and when she finally did, she said they did not have 300 boxes of time in stock. She said she would look into it and call us back. She called back and left a voicemail stating she refunded us the 180 boxes they did not have (without our permission) and also told us our delivery wasn't until 3/18/19.
I opened up the order number and it showed the refund but also show a different amount of money. It turned out when she refunded the specific amount for the tile, their system added an extra $100 delivery charge. She told us to call corporate to figure out the rest. So I did, was on the phone for an hour trying to figure it out. Corporate could not find a place that has the tile so she had to do some calling around. This made absolutely no sense because as I was on the phone I could still go on LOWE'S website and order the same exact tile in the amount of 300 cases for truck delivery even though she couldn't find them anywhere. They finally figured out that Gaylord would go get the rest of the tile from another location and deliver them to me. They refunded the extra delivery charge.
I was then told I would have to call Midland LOWE'S to see why I didn't get their portion of the delivery on 3/2. So When I called, they also stated that the delivery was supposed to be for 3/18. I forwarded the email we got from Lowe's showing it was supposed to be 3/2 so they could see I was not making it up. I was told by 3 different employees that LOWE'S website is not user friendly. How can such a huge company accept and $1200 order and state it will be delivered by a specific time and the stores have no knowledge of it and provide no communication about it. We had to call and figure it out and it took 6 different phone calls to Gaylord, Midland, and corporate to have it figured out.
On top of everything, when we put in the order, Lowe's did not automatically deduct it from our account. It wasn't until we figured this all out, that they deducted it weeks later. This absolutely unacceptable. I will never, ever order from Lowe's again and would never recommend ordering online from them to anyone. The employees at Lowe's were very helpful but I had to spend 2 hours figuring this out with them. Lowes.com is not at all linked to their stores and it should not be able to be used if it is not accurate.

If you are not having them installed right away be sure to ask that they deliver in original boxes. We ordered a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. The microwave and dishwasher were in open original boxes. They agreed to exchange the refrigerator (which looked like it had been on the showroom floor) and the stove which was dented.

I have to comment on Lowe's delivery service... POOR, POOR, POOR. Customer service horrible! Lowe's showed up at my door wanting to deliver the washing machine the day after I ordered it online - No phone call, text or email letting me know a delivery time or day, just a knock on my door. Having to leave for an appointment, I tried calling Lowe's to set up a new delivery date (that I was aware of) and when that date came, no Lowe's. Called Lowe's again and they set up delivery for next day - they showed up but with a defective washer they had to return to store. I will never shop with this company again and I warn anyone needing an appliance to beware of their delivery team. In my 20 years of purchasing appliances from other companies, I have never experienced such a bad service. Purchased same washer from another company with no problems. Lowe's, you really stink!!!

I had bought Craftsman 1-stage snow blower Model No. CMXGBAM795754 on Feb. 16, 2019 from Lowe's Milton. This was not packaged but was displaced. When I put gas in it and tried to operate its starter motor gives an abnormal sound and it does not starts. I took this back to Lowe's store on Feb 22, 2019 but they told me they cannot return this machine as it is against their policy not to take back any gas operated machine. They are now telling me to contact Craftsman Warranty directly. Had Lowe's they told me this upfront I would have never bought this $700 plus machine from their store.

In purchasing an appliance (in any big box store), they only have some models and no complete lines such that you may be forced to purchase a model without the features you want. Most staff do not know what is available in all the lines and the diff models. Even when I do a thorough search, some of my criteria are not listed in the descriptions...

I am documenting this story as a warning to other consumers as the Lowe’s in Cotati has effectively stolen approximately $800 from my partner and I by not honoring our in-store credit card. Here is our story; in 2017 I purchased flooring from Lowe’s department store in Cotati with cash. My partner and I installed the flooring and after the job was complete, we returned about $1,000 in unused flooring materials. We were told that we were not eligible for a refund but were provided a card for in store credit. At the time we were told we would need to present a driver’s license to utilize the card as they were connected.
After evacuating from the Nuns Canyon Fire in 2017 we decided to move out of our home in the Sonoma Valley and relocated to the Russian River where the redwood trees and flowing water seemed to provide more shelter from raging wildfires. We moved into our new place in April of 2018 and bought some paint with the in-store credit card, about $200 worth, to paint the interior of the house.
Shortly thereafter my partners wallet was stolen. We contacted the police department and filed a report. The in-store credit card from Lowe’s was in the stolen wallet. At the time we were not concerned about the card being used by the thief as we were told it was only valid with ID. When we contacted Lowe’s in Cotati we were told that there was no way to use the in store credit card if the card was missing. When we asked about the connection between the driver’s license and the card, we were told that only at the time of purchase would the driver’s license be needed for validation. That there was no way to connect the license to the card or verify our in-store credit.
Having a hard time digesting the fact that $800 of in store credit was just gone, we contacted the customer service corporate office. Initially we were told that someone would be in touch after they had investigated the incident further. We were told this on three separate occasions, alas no one called us back and upon contacting management in Cotati were told our case had been closed, to our dismay. After going back and forth via phone for a few months we decided to carve out some time on the weekend and head down to the store to see if we could speak to someone in person and get to the bottom of the issue.
A representative told us that they could track down the card details through the purchase of the paint supplies. So, we dug through our basement to find the old paints cans from Lowe’s. We returned to the Cotati store the next weekend and spent the day talking with different managers trying to troubleshoot ways to verify our in-store credit card making no headway. That day a corporate representative told us that if we could just find the date of the paint purchase, they would be able to find the card. We presented the paint cans, with the purchase date shortly thereafter and were told that the Cotati store only had wiped their data in June and therefore there was no way to verify the in-store credit.
A customer service representative from the national corporate office said this was unusual, if it were any other store, they would have been able to find the transaction details. Cotati is unique in that they wipe their data from time to time. So here we are about one year later and more than 6 months of trying to get to get back our $800 from Lowe’s. No one ever mentioned they wipe their data or seemed to care enough to call us back or notify us that our case had been closed. Lowe’s in Cotati has effectively stolen $800 from my partner and I, offered no apology or attempt to rectify the matter. I am appalled with the Lowe’s Cotati incompetence and corporate policies that do not reflect the marketing values they claim.

We had a new kitchen installed about 10 years ago. After installation I questioned why one of the cabinets had a space between the cabinet and the wall. The installer explained something about the wall not being plumb. Fast-forward 10 years and 3 cupboards came off the wall! I was standing in front of them seconds before they crashed onto our floor. 100 year old China was lost along with some food items.
The cabinet company replaced the cabinets and stated that the cupboards had been installed incorrectly. They also stated that all the cupboards should be looked at, as from the photos, it appeared that none of the cabinets were supported correctly. Spoke with Lowe’s and was informed that their installation covers one year. When I restated that they appeared to be installed incorrectly, I was told again the warranty covers only one year. So, I could very well have been killed by the falling cupboards, I lost irreplaceable china, and there is nothing Lowe’s will do. Oh, other than give us an estimate for installing the new cupboards! Yeah right!

I ordered a Samsung washing machine from Lowe's recently, requesting installation along with haul away service for the old machine. Ultimately their choice of delivery companies reflects on their business, so when I relayed the experience and they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, a review was warranted. On the night before and morning of delivery I received a voicemail that my delivery window was 12-4 pm and I would receive a call from the driver 30-minutes ahead of delivery. Later on that day (a Thursday) I received another call that my delivery window had been changed to 4-8 pm; at that point I called the delivery company to ensure I would still be receiving a 30-minute notice as otherwise I would need to reschedule. This was confirmed.
At 3:34 pm I received a call from the driver of the delivery truck, who informed me they would be at my residence in 15-20 minutes. So much for the half hour notice. I quickly made my way home and at 3:53 pm was pulling into my driveway having just passed what I would come to find out was the delivery truck making its way out of my development. I then received a phonecall from the delivery company saying the truck was sitting outside my residence since I was not home, and was authorized to wait for 15 minutes if I could make it back in time. I quickly turned the car around and caught up with the delivery truck, motioning for them to turn around or pull over, as I was on the phone with the delivery company explaining that the truck was not in fact sitting in front of my residence.
The company then called the driver and conferenced him onto our call. He said I was not home so they left. I told the driver I had not gotten a 30-minute notice, had been given 15-20 minutes instead and still was there in 19, and that he was supposed to be waiting for 15 minutes per the company. He said "well we rang the doorbell 6 times and you weren't home". I told him I was the car behind him and asked him to turn around as they were not even 5 minutes from my residence at that point. He said they had already turned the truck around too many times that day (clearly indicating that they could but just were not going to), and that he had already called the next customer and told them they were 6 minutes away.
Again, far short of a 30-minute notice. I told the driver that just as I had gotten a call moving my delivery to later, so too could the next customer. They said no. Ultimately, 5 miles later we both had pulled to the side of the road, I was told that the company would add my residence as a stop at the end of the shift and they would be calling me to confirm.
When I received that phonecall, the delivery company said there was bad weather coming in and they would not be delivering that day. I then rescheduled delivery for the following day (Friday). I then received a voicemail from Lowe's saying that delivery would be two days later (Saturday). I then received another call from the delivery company confirming a time window for delivery... the following day (Friday). Friday came and went with no delivery. At the end of the delivery window I called the delivery company and they said that since delivery had not been made on Thursday, the machine had gone back to Lowe's and I would have to reschedule with the local store.
On Saturday, I was given a time window of 2:30-6:30 pm for delivery. It was not shocking what time the delivery was made. What was surprising, however, was the driver (same one from two days prior) knocking on the door at 6:35 pm to tell me that the machine was damaged and I should take a look at it to decide whether to accept it. Also, the accessories had not been delivered with the machine so they would not be able to install it even if I did accept the machine. Interesting coincidences, don't you think?
During all this time, I did call the local Lowe's twice with the intent to cancel my order in the hopes that Home Depot's delivery company is run well. The first time I called, when I said I needed to cancel an order I was hung up on; the second time I called I just said I needed to discuss an online order, and was just placed on hold indefinitely. 20 minutes later I hung up. When I relayed the experience to the customer care team, I got an email from Valerie ** saying she had escalated to Senior Management and to allow 24 hours for a response. That was two months ago... Maybe their clocks are broken too.

So it was time to replace the washer & dryer. We purchased a set for approximately $1,000 for the pair delivered with accessories. 5 months later very dissatisfied with the washer and its ability to balance loads and not Shake. Reviewed Lowe's return policy for appliances and you are able to return appliances for a full refund or credit for up to three months after purchase.
Well it had been 5 months and a few days since our purchase but I decided to contact them anyways. Contacted Jesse and explained my situation and she took the ball and ran with it. No problem, picked up the units the following morning and by that afternoon called me and had refunded the total purchase price to my American Express. As to not go through another unsatisfactory experience with appliances I reviewed washer and dryers extensively and found that almost all of them had 4 * reviews but read the one and two star reviews and came to the realization that all washers and dryers and probably refrigerators alike are of nowhere's the same quality is 15-20 years ago. Finally just took wild guess and purchased a nice-looking looking set of an LG washer and dryer.
They delivered it the following day and set it up and after a few days of using them I'm very satisfied with the performance but a little leery of all the new electronics and such that they use nowadays. But the point of this review is not on the appliance itself but on the great service that Lowe's gave after the sale. I didn't repurchase my washer and dryer from Lowe's because I had to but because of the great service after the sale!

Getting service under the protection plan was difficult because it was a floor model and the Frigidaire warranty was in question. Lowe's wanted Frigidaire to cover it and Frigidaire was saying it was billable because a loose handle and burnt light bulbs was wear and tear. It took 8 phone calls and 2 days of waiting for a service tech to get it resolved. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, the ice maker broke down again so I called Lowe's expecting it to be easier and it seemed to be at first, they gave me a service appointment and I took the day off and... NO SHOW!
Apparently the service group - A&E who is actually Sears (why are they going broke?) sent parts and unbeknownst to me, I was supposed to call A&E, let them know I got parts I was not expecting and reschedule my appointment. It took 13 days to wait for my first appointment and they are telling me the next available appointment is in 9 more days.

CONSUMER ALERT! I have never posted anything on social media about any business but I think this is worth sharing. 4 years ago I bought a refrigerator from Lowe's and I paid almost 3k for it. It went out when it was a little over two years old (the manufacturer warranty ran out at 1 year). We went back to Lowe's and bought another refrigerator, a different brand of course. The new one was 3k. We made the decision to purchase the Lowe's extended warranty “just in case”. Well We haven’t had this one for two years yet and it went out.
I went to Lowe's and asked how I go about using my extended warranty and the employee said he could not help me and I needed to find my paperwork. (I honestly thought they could look this up by name or number). I find the paperwork and contact the Lowe's warranty department. They sent a tech out, he said he would order the parts and return in a week to install. A week goes by and a different tech shows up, looks at the refrigerator, took a look and said he would order parts and come back in a week to install them. Excuse me but what happened to the parts the last guy “ordered”?
A week later and no tech, no phone call, no email. I call Lowe's and they said they will send the tech out again. Another week goes by and the tech shows up. “I have to order parts and they will take a week”. That was two weeks ago and I have yet to hear from them or Lowe's. This process started Jan 3rd and I still do not have a refrigerator. MORAL OF THE STORY DON’T BOTHER SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON LOWE'S WARRANTY PLAN BECAUSE IT SUCKS! I have probably spent the same amount in eating out or buying groceries every day as I would have if I’d just bought another 3k refrigerator. Over a month and no refrigerator. Lowe's employees, do you have children? Do you know what a pain it is to have children and no refrigerator? They can't even eat cereal because I have no place to store milk!

While doing a full home remodel I have been making many purchases at Lowe's, Home Depot, OSH (before going out of business), Amazon, Costco. Buying ahead to ready for portions of remodel, I have not ran into any issues returning products if they go unused, don't fit, etc. The exception is Lowe's. I bought 13 stair risers in September, along with many other items online and picked up at store. Construction got delayed and then the Holidays came to further delay projects. Recently I found out I could not use 2 risers because they were too narrow for landing of stairs.
Yesterday, while going to pick up other online ordered merchandise, I took the 2 risers that I was unable to use. The risers were in pristine condition; still with labels and shrink wrapped. To my surprise they said they had to be returned within 30 days. They couldn't even offer store credit! According to manager these were "special order" items, which was news to me. They showed me a back of a sales receipt, and that I should learn to read receipts for their policy! I said, "Look I bought online, I don't get that receipt you are showing me, these are the emails I got from Lowe's, nowhere in them does it say "special order" or their return policy". They said when I pick up item that receipt has it; perhaps, not sure.
Nonetheless, the disrespect, not even store credit offered, all over $30 return have lost a customer, who spent thousands there. It is really upsetting, more than the money, the way they address this towards customers. Obviously I had never returned something there else I would of been long gone. I also wonder of folks that do construction for a living; never buy more than you need, have projects delayed, and be ready to return excess on a timely manner (and with a receipt) on top of all the stresses of the field. Or simply shop elsewhere which offer more flexibility. Glad to be able to vent here.

I went to the store, placed the order, my client paid, and we were told they would be delivered the following week. NEVER heard back from the store. I called and they said they didn't have them scheduled until the end of the month (last day). I told them that we ordered "in stock" appliances to get them as quickly as possible. Long story short, I had to hire an installer and he came out THREE times before we got the dishwasher and microwave for him to install. I had to hire my own because it was going to take a long time if I used the one Lowe's has.
Well, then I still had to get the refrigerator and stove. Again, long story short, I was held hostage by Lowe's on about five different days waiting on these appliances before I finally got them "outside the delivery" window at about seven PM at night. They did not install the ice maker right and only halfway put the handle on the refrigerator. I had the same experience a year ago when ordering for my own home.

You'd think it was the first bathroom floor they'd ever seen as they struggled mightily to overcome such obstacles as: the bid, the materials, toilets, bathtubs, patchwork, molding, and subfloors. I ended up taking over the job myself and knocked it out in 1 day after wasting 4 weeks trying to work with Lowe's.

I went to Lowe’s for an estimate for a deck installation. They gave me a couple quotes different prices. When they first came to do the installation. They said they had to make a deck a little bit bigger because of my septic system. So they said I want to cost me any more money so I agreed. But the first day the installation company arrived they took one pallet of cement home with them so I think they over ordered some material. So I contacted Lowe’s to see what happened to the other pallet of cement. I don’t really know how much cement was taken so I just had an estimate so they brought some back.
After everything was all installed and done there was leftover material. So I contacted Lowe’s to come back and pick it back up. And never got a refund for what they picked up. So I had to go to the local store and asked for a refund but I don’t know what was really picked up because we had no proof what was picked up anymore all I had was pictures on my phone that was not that accurate because the pictures were blurry. So I got the deck installed in October. And I noticed some of the boards were coming back up so I contacted the Lowe’s I got the deck installation from and they said they would give me a call back and have someone come and check. So someone came and checked but Lowe's never came back to fix the problem.
Now I have a deck boards coming up and I paid the extra money to get screwless boards so now I had to screw boards back down because my kids tripped over some. Went to the doctors to make sure he was ok. Now a year and a half later I have heard nothing back. I went back numerous times to get it all resolved but I just get the runaround.
Cali ** was the project manager for the project and I heard so got a promotion. So I guess Lowe’s give their project managers promotions for screwing people over. I still have all the text and emails I sent to all of the project managers and the store installation experts. They were all useless. After me texting them all numerous times they just stop answering me back. So be very careful when you go to Lowe’s for any installation needs because if you read the reviews first you would think twice. You better off finding a local contractor for your installation needs. I hope this was really helpful for everyone because I don’t want anyone else to get screwed too!!

If I could rate zero stars, that would be my first choice. I recently purchased a patio sliding door with the blinds in the glass. One very important criteria in purchasing the door was that I wanted a patio door with a keyed lock. Thus, I could lock/unlock it from the outside using a key. On the day of installation, my installer asked where was the handle for the door. No handle was found with the door. I called Lowe's (got cut off 3 times) to ask about missing handle.
After 1 hour on the phone, I was finally told they would have to order it. I picked up the handle after receiving a call that it had arrived at Lowe's. When I got home, I opened the box and discovered the handle ordered was incorrect as it did not have a keyed lock. I returned the wrong handle and another one was ordered. I picked up the second handle and checked it immediately and found it was a keyed lock handle. Yay, I called my installer to have him come to do the installation. Unfortunately, the handle was correct, but no latch was included with the handle. I returned to Lowe's to ask about the missing latch. I was told they would have to order it. Grrr...

One would think that there is not a lot to mess up with a bbq refill. Wrong, Lowe's Golden Valley can mess it up. While there was a plastic sealing cap over the hose attachment joint, the gas was on, the handle all the way to the left position. And it was tightened so strong, that I needed a long set of pliers to un-tighten. So gas will always evaporate, the tank empties sooner. Were you to have this tank inside a vehicle, garage, next to the balcony door when it rains, to connect after the rain stops you were to face serious health implications.
Below the waste lane for selling me a full tank, which has been leaking for a while and still is when I am buying. Fraudulently reckless, since I am paying for a full tank refill.

As with another review, if it were possible to give zero stars, I would based on our experience thus far. The initial cabinetry (Kraftmaid) was not made to what we had ordered and much of was returned for rework, delaying the project by several months. The project has started and instead as we had expected, getting a dedicated crew working on the kitchen for the entire day, the local contractor Lowes has assigned the project to sends only a couple of people out, who work two fours or so, and then leave for the day. Except for the first day of work, we have not been given a definitive time window for when/if a crew will come to continue work. I was told today by the contractor, it would check with the crew about availability.
Communication between the Lowe's coordinator, the person assigned by the contractor and crew does not seem to exist and this is very concerning as Lowe's has told us that particularly for the cabinetry, remaining flaws and imperfections would be remedied when installed. We no longer have any confidence that this will happen. Looking at the experience of others with Lowe's, it seems fruitless to go up the corporate chain to try and make this bad situation better and we are very close to walking away from this mess, hiring a lawyer and going to arbitration where we'll at least get some of our money back.

We bought a new LG front loading washing machine Model WM5000HVA and matching dryer from Lowe's with the pedestals for both. The first load of Laundry washed in the washer produced a large puddle of water on the floor underneath the washer running out the front where it was visible. I pulled out the washer and mopped up the water mess that was pretty significant, and checked the water hookups and drain to identify the source of the leak. Nothing was obvious. I ran two quick cycles through the washer with no clothes while I watched all the potential places for leaks. No leaking was identified. I put the washer back in place and continued to use it over a week or two with no problems.
On another day with just a random load of laundry it leaked all over the floor again. This time we thought it was a defective washing machine and asked Lowe's to replace it. They brought out a new identical washing machine and installed it along with the pedestals we ordered. This washing machine does the same thing. At random it dumps tons of water on the floor under and around the washing machine to the point that it has caused significant damage to the laundry room of our new home. By changing out the washer with a new one we now know it's not just a defective washer, but a design flaw in these front loaders that isn't being addressed by LG. By reading other reviews there are several other people that have written in with the same issues with the washing machines leaking and damaging their homes.
The only way we have been able to mitigate the leaking problem slightly is to never wash more than a 1/2 load of laundry and use about 1/2 the amount of liquid HE detergent that is recommended. I have narrowed it down to the washing of my cotton flannel shirts is when it spits water out of the vent at the back of the machine, runs down the back panel, and onto the floor. This is totally unacceptable for a $1400.00 machine. We have furnished three separate homes now with LG appliances and have been please with their performance over all, but this is the first LG washing machine we have owned. Base on this negative experience alone it's the last LG product in our future. It's unfortunate that the company won't accept responsibility for a faulty design and take care of it before more unsuspecting customers have to go through this kind of ordeal as many already have.

Bought a vinyl fence. Was installed by professionals... Hahaha what a joke. Fence was bowed and took Lowe's 4.5 months to fix. After attorney general was called...offered me 300.00 for the time it took to fix fence. Then sent me an email to sign to release Lowe's from any liability and shut my mouth...

Good customer service is hard to find these days. That's why when we received such wonderful service at the St. Charles, MO 63301 store, we felt we had to share. Ms. Tonya ** greeted us enthusiastically. She was pleasant, personable, and friendly. The product we wanted wasn't available in the store so she helped us locate the item, honored a 'price match', and had the item shipped to our home. Our entire experience was nice. We left the store feeling good about our purchase. Thank you, Tonya!

Ordered a Maytag Gas Range (Black) and a GE Refrigerator (Black) in the middle of December 2018. Supposedly for a gift for us for the holidays. Delivery date was put off because product was not received. Then in the 2nd week of January they said the refrigerator came in but wouldn't deliver it until they got the range. Then they said the range came in but, the front door was broken. They made us agree to pay for everything to assure the order, so they could order a new door & replace it. We responded in kind and told them they needed to bring the refrigerator and make a second trip at their expense for the range when it was repaired & ready.
We finally received the refrigerator on 1/17/19 a month later. Still no stove. A couple days later they said they had the stove and would fix it when the door came in and let us know. They called on 1/23/19 and said delivery date was 1/25/19 between 8:00 am & noon. They showed up @ 11:00 am. Took it out of its box and it looked liked someone hit it with a 5lb little sledgehammer in the door. Plus it wasn't even the range we ordered. Did not accept this busted up stove. Called Lowe's and just told them to give our money back. They said they would, we'll see. I can just imagine a restocking fee for broken stuff. Ordered the same range (Stainless Steel) for less money @ Home Depot 1/25/19. Delivery is scheduled for 1/30/19. We'll see, but will never order from Lowe's again.

We are in the process of having a kitchen countertop replaced. Lowe’s makes claim that they use top contractors and they are vetted prior to working with Lowe’s. Don't believe it, smoke and mirrors. We have been dealing with them since Oct 2018 on this countertop and this is the end of January and still not complete. The installer showed up it was 2 young men around 20 years old (Whole lot of experience there). They walk in and immediately tell my wife that they can't remove the stove top. That was the first we heard that. Lowe’s was supposed to have went over this in the store with us. Obviously that didn't happen. Reason being is that the person we were dealing with is incompetent. I was out of town so my wife had to remove it.
The installer (proper name because they are not a contractor) removed the old countertop and started install of the new. Of course they got about half installed and the rest did not fit. Remember they came and made a template makes you wonder what they did with the template. So they tell my wife it will take 2 weeks to get new material and they leave. They left the work area dirty and my wife with no countertop, unable to use the sink and no stove top. Where is Lowe’s this whole time? I never heard a word from the Lowe’s store in Jefferson City, Tn. I had to call them and the sales manager was made aware of the situation, still he did not bother to call. If I had a "Manager" that acted like that he would be very short lived, and yes I have managers under me. I come home to find the walls have holes in them, cabinet tore up large sections of drywall pulled out and still nothing from Lowe’s.
Never again, I will be CANCELLING the other projects that I have paid for. The installer called today and said the material would be expedited and finished next Friday. Hey Lowe's where you at? Do you know that information? Of course you don't because I haven't called you and told you. LOWE’S you need to understand that I have a contract/agreement with LOWE’S not the installer. So do your job and stand behind what you advertise. By the way, Lowe’s require full payment prior to any work being done, but they don't give their installers anything until they are finished, not even a draw on their money. So I wonder why they don't have top contractors. Top guys will not sign up for something like that. I would not.

Both Lowe’s and Home Depot gets their appliances delivered by the same people...your purchase is sent to GE who then employs a delivery service and at Home Depot. I can tell you it’s pure crap...and Lowe's gets there the same way here in Lake City Fl. GE in our area uses Daryl Flood logistics out of Jacksonville to deliver their appliances. My first date of delivery was between 230 and 630 but at 914 pm the driver called and said the truck broke down and on the next day the appliance was set for delivery for the same time frame and the driver never even called me that time.
On the third day the employee at Daryl Flood Logistics told me no it can't be delivered until next week because the truck wasn't coming my way that day...really great delivery service would have got it to me. It was my wife’s Christmas present. Had to cancel it due to non delivery. Both Lowe’s and Home Depot should have a warehouse and make deliveries that way or at least first have it delivered to them and then brought out to us. I will never again purchase an appliance from either Lowe’s or Home Depot. If need be I will purchase a used machine because I hate being lied to.

They stated if he did not enter his military service into their My Lowe's database he does not qualify for a discount. I'm sorry but a state issued ID that meets the federal requirements for an ID including a passport is MORE than enough proof of any veteran's service.

My wife and I had the absolute WORST experience ever working with Lowe's on a washer/dryer purchase. Among other things, we experienced (1) incompetence of Lowe's staff during the purchase process, (2) consistent miscommunication on the availability of our units, (3) poor service through countless phone calls with their store, and (4) FOUR (yes, that's right) failed deliveries on FOUR separate days. Based on our experience, I would never recommend using this store or this company for appliance purchases. If you're curious on some of the details of our extensive nightmare episode, please read below.
To start, we waited about 2 months from buying the units until receiving them. Lowe's staff promised us the units would be available in 2-3 when we purchased them, but we ended up waiting 2 months due to poor logistics and inventory management. After waiting and waiting and waiting till our units were supposed to become available, we were told the only items they would have in inventory were the floor display units. Somehow the units we bought and paid for actually didn't exist! The floor units they wanted us to buy were obviously used, scratched, and dented due to prolonged use. We sucked it up, took a very minor discount (~5% per unit), and were promised these floor units would be delivered quickly and efficiently.
Instead of the delivery process being straightforward and structured, we had an absolute nightmare trying to get these units delivered. In total, there were 4 separate occasions where we were given a day and broad (e.g., 9am-1pm) time slot for delivery, and on EACH one the units were not delivered for various reasons. One time the drivers were not properly informed about our location, one time the drivers just failed to pick up the unit on the truck, and one time the drivers just decided that they were done for the day before 5pm.
In every case, we were not properly informed and were left waiting around on our weekend for deliveries that did not arrive. Lowe's liked to blame their subcontractor delivery team for these issues, and not surprisingly the subcontractors were blaming Lowe's. At the end of the day, we paid Lowe's and expected them to be able to execute deliveries with whoever they work with. Unfortunately, their delivery teams are lazy, unprofessional, and terrible at communication.
When the units FINALLY did arrive, on the 5th attempt (yes, 5 SEPARATE weekend days were spent waiting on these units), the delivery team was of course missing a few critical pieces for the install. This was even though we called customer service 10+ times, and were promised that their best people were on the job for that day. They forgot to include critical pieces on the unit (that we paid for) which were required for them to function. So again, we ended up waiting for another delivery later that day, where they provided the extra piece and FINALLY got the units working. Again, no apologies from Lowe's when this situation took place - just a confirmation that they would figure it out later in the day.
In the face of all this **, we had countless interactions with customer service folks at Lowe's that were unapologetic and unhelpful. Not once did they volunteer to reduce the price of the units, not once did they offer us compensation for wasting our time and energy, and only after we asked directly over and over to a manager did they offer a minor discount on the units. Some of the folks there (especially at the manager level) were helpful, but everyone else that we talked to in Appliances and every delivery subcontractor we worked with was fairly ineffective and unsympathetic.
Needless to say, we will never ever be working with this store or this company in the future. There are plenty of better options in Chicago, especially local stores on the north side of the city, so I recommend that people shop around before choosing Lowe's due to a small price difference or sale. The lack of service and poor delivery you get does NOT outweigh the potential convenience or cost savings.

The Estero, FL, store has the worst customer service and all they do is make excuses. For years I went to Lowe's in Ohio and KY and they are great. This store in FL is absolutely the worst. I ordered a custom storm door in December. Several weeks later on Jan. 5, 2019, Lowe's called to tell me the door was in and the installer would call in 2 business days to schedule an installation date.
On Jan. 12 I called the store to let them know I had not received a call from the contractor. I talked to door sales first and he told me I would have to call the installation dept. I said I would call right now. He said give them several hours. I asked if they were in yet and he said he didn’t know. I asked “what time they come in?” He says there are four of them and he didn’t know their schedule. I was starting to wonder what was going on by this time. I said “OK, I’ll call the Install Dept. later." He sternly said “you can’t call the installer... Besides they don’t work on Saturdays.” By this time I said “I never said I was calling the installer... I said was going to call the Install Dept (Lowe's)."
So several hours later I called the Install Dept. and told them that I had not received a call as Lowe's had told me. The first out of this woman’s mouth was "you don’t understand all the snowbirds that are coming in now and everybody wants their job done now.” I told her “hold on... I am calling you to let you know that the installer had not called me to set up an installation date as Lowe's had told me over the phone. I did not want to get caught in the shuffle. I did not say a word about wanting my job done right now.” She then continued on the excuse making, etc like I am the problem. That’s when I lost it. This store is terrible. Home Depot is only and an additional 3 miles away.

After spending over $16k on my roof in Warwick, RI, water has been pouring down from behind my gutters. Lowe's refuses to take any responsibility and action to help me. It appears that the flashing and drip edge needed to guide the water into the gutters was not installed. I reported this to customer service. Yet no one from Lowe’s has ever inspected what the contractors they hired did, though they told me inspection is part of their process. No one from Lowe's has visited my home to investigate it. And no one from Lowe's management has ever called me, despite my request. Since reporting the issue, all I received was a call telling me that they will not address the issue, yet I contracted with them for a complete roofing job.
Yes, I first contacted the roofing company. They dismissed me, saying that Lowe’s did not ask them to look at the gutters. Since when are flashing, drip edge and gutters not related to a complete roofing project? And why didn’t the Lowe’s and roofing experts ever mention any potential issue with gutters? My guess is that they ripped the old flashing and drip edge off when they stripped the entire roof. Upset and dissatisfied with the lack of attention and support from customer service, I sent in a written complaint and asked for someone higher up to contact me, not the Lowe's rep who had dismissed me. A few days elapsed before I received an email in reply, from someone that did not even give me a last name, stating that this is a serious matter for them as well, and that I would be contacted. But those are just words that have amounted to nothing. No phone calls from management followed, and no action has been taken.
However, I did get two phone calls from Lowe’s sales team asking me if I want to hire them to completely replace all my gutters. What? I asked to speak with a management representative, but all I got was the same guy calling me once again to say it’s not their problem and calls wanting more business. With water coming off the roof and going behind the gutters instead of into them they want me to sign with them for a new project? I thought customer satisfaction was something they prided themselves in. They certainly assured me of it when they took my money. That's obviously not the case.
Despite, in my opinion, being overcharged for the project, I still went with Lowe’s simply because they promised they are a one-stop shop and would take care of any issues that arise. They have not lived up to that promise. Being retired military and a longtime customer, I am appalled at the treatment I have received and disgusted that Lowe’s management has not contacted me. So, I am making the effort to let everyone know just how they have treated me and how they have left the project I paid them for. This is a summary of the issue and events that has been going on for many weeks. The pain still goes on every day since I must now get someone to fix all of this, which they are responsible for.

My husband and I were planning on purchasing carpet from Lowe’s in Newport TN for the upstairs in our home and engineered hardwood for a room in our basement. We were excited because they offered free installation including moving of furniture and removal of old carpet. Plus 10 percent off. It sounded great. We had to pay 70$ for someone to come out to measure which we understood we would be refunded with our purchase. This process took a month but that was okay.
When we met with Gerry on Saturday to finalize our purchase the price was a lot more than we expected. There were dozens of add ons including extra for the moving of "oversized furniture ". Gerry blamed this completely on the installers but they are paid by Lowe’s so that's not an excuse. None of our furniture is oversized. It's just normal furniture. Every bed and dresser in each room were extra. This was cut out and pasted at the bottom of the proposal which was strange also.

I received the voicemail and was still able to make arrangements for someone to be home between 9:30am and 1:30pm. I received this call at 7:36pm that night.

Long story short, after speaking with multiple people, I am told that I called the store and changed my delivery date to tomorrow which I never did. I explain I never did this and THE MANAGER goes on to tell me that they do not change delivery times and I had to have called and changed it. Again, I made several arrangements for this delivery and did NOT call and did not change the time so not only are they basically calling me a liar, they are lying to me when they clearly messed something up and then failed to notify me at all.
I will NEVER make another purchase here again and this purchase was a pretty big one although I am sure Lowe's could care less.

When I ordered the dishwasher on November 23, 2018 I was told by the staff that the dishwasher will arrive in a week. Ha. What a lie. A week went by and I called to see the status of the order. The staff from Home Appliance department answered the phone and told me to wait another week and that the dishwasher will be delivered. I waited and never received it. Sigh. A week went by again and I called back. The same staff again told me to wait another week.
At this time, I was frustrated. But, I wanted the dishwasher so I calmly waited for another week. Guess what. I never received the dishwasher. So I called back AGAIN. This was 4th time calling back. I asked for the manager to talk about the dishwasher and how long it will take to get it. He said "...by end of January." EXCUSE ME? I ordered my dishwasher on November 23. Now you're telling me to wait another whole month to get it? This is ridiculous. I asked for compensation for the inconvenience services they're providing. The manager said "we cannot compensate anything until the product gets here physically". I said "okay, but I am not gonna wait for another month to get it. I want to know how much discount or money you can compensate for the inconvenience services." He said "okay man, I will make an exception for you. I will give you $150 compensation or 10% off." I said " No, but thank you." I canceled the order.
I am very disappointed how they lied from the beginning of the time I ordered. If I had known something like this, I would have not ordered from Lowe’s. I would have ordered from Home Depot or other stores. I will never order anything from Lowe’s again. From the manager to staffs, they just don't care and provide worst customer service. Thank you, Lowe’s for wasting my time.

Lowe's had clearance cabinets. I inquired about them, I was told by the sales person she would ask a management, she could give me a price. The manager was Lisa who I previously asked about clearance cabinets 4 months ago. She Told me she could only give me 5% off of the previous cabinets so I said, "If you can do better here’s my number call me," the next day I come in and she sold them for 50% off so I thought I would try this again. So I see more clearance cabinets and was told they were returned 3 PM yesterday, It's now the morning hours and inquired about these cabinets the sales person said she would contact the management who is Lisa. She comes back and tells me Lisa had promised the cabinets to someone Bye.
Then Lisa isn’t even working today. She called her at home,,,so I asked to speak to the store manager because that’s totally unfair. Sounds like Lisa is doing business any way she likes and is possibly getting kickbacks. How could you have cabinets on the floor and make promises to somebody and she not even working today! I thought wow this how Lowe's department store is being ran. Sounds sketchy to me. This is supposed to be a reputable company, I'm quiting doing business at Lowe’s. I’ve spent over $100,000 in that store closer to $200,000 just this year and this is how they treat you. Welcome back Home Depot

Purchased an above the stove microwave from the Greenville, NC Lowe’s on Memorial Dr. Paid for delivery, Installation & setup. Scheduled the delivery & Installation for a few days later. Two men, from a local company contracted by Lowe’s, delivered the microwave and installed the same day. My wife noticed air coming in the microwave when she opened the door to inspect it. The tech assured her that the microwave was properly vented. We tried using the microwave and it worked fine. The installers left and we assumed everything was ok. Until the next morning when I opened the microwave door to heat a cup of coffee and was greeted with a blast of 35 degree air from inside the microwave.
Above stove microwave installed. Called Lowe’s and they said it was probably the damper stuck open and they would have the company who installed it, come back to fix it. That was a week ago and have yet to hear from the company to schedule a date to fix it. In addition to the damper issue. Cold air is pouring in the cabinet the microwave is attached to. Obviously, the tech had no clue what he was doing. Have made several calls to the company and they have assured us that “someone” will contact us to schedule the repair.

In August my dad came to me and said that my Christmas present from my parents this year would be a new kitchen. All excited, I started making measurements for new cabinets to be ordered. We went to Winterville NC store to purchase the cabinets and they directed us to order online. We ordered a total of 8 cabinets starting the first of Sept. The delivery driver contacted my dad a couple weeks later and said he would be there to bring order. We had a team ready to get the cabinets and install. Only one was brought.
Then about a month later they were to bring the rest of the order and brought 3 more. The next delivery date the rest of the 4 cabinets were all damaged so we sent them back and they reordered. Gave my dad yet another delivery date of the Tuesday before Christmas and to this day my dad has heard nothing. He called customer service to request a full refund the day after promised delivery date of last cabinets.
I called corporate this morning and spoke with Naomi and her only concern was to get the product back so that she can sell it to someone else. My dad made a comment that we were going to need other things for the remodel and now we are going to have to drive a distance to get products bc Lowe's doesn't follow through for their customers. They are only concerned with making the money and not following through.

Lowe's near Princeton, NJ hires a 3rd Party named XPO delivery and apparently Lowe's has zero control on how and when XPO delivers to clients. I have been ordering for several years now but lately in 2018, services and delivery receipt experience had gone south in a big way. I had a doctors appointment and I called up Lowe's to see if I could be the first one to get delivered. Lowe's confirmed that my stop would be the first. My Doctors was at 11.30. I didn’t get any calls from XPO or Lowe's. It was about 11.15am EST. I called up Lowe's Princeton to understand it will be delivered at 2pm EST.
When I spoke to the Lowe's delivery gentleman and his manager, both were trying to explain it was not their fault but XPO's fault. Simply they missed the point of decent customer services behavior and customer experience that a loyal customer wants to be provided in this fierce competitive marketplace. Would I order in 2019 again? What are your thoughts? This experience is not unique - it’s probably ‘n’th time this year.

I hired Lowe's to install the fence, and they hired another company (315 Fencing) to do the installation. They showed up a week late from when I was told. Every looks great except for the double gate. It has huge gaps between the doors and frames, the one door is crooked. There are huge gaps under the fence, I was told by Lowe's, that it would be against the ground so my little dog can't get out... My dog got out!
The moment Lowe's found out they were done with the installation they called me to do an over-the-phone closing interview. I told the lady I was still at work. She called again an hour later and I informed her again that I was still at work. I've never heard from her again... I emailed the person who gave me the quote and he sent the owner of the installation company to my house to tell me that there is nothing they can do about the fence. He said it's a vinyl fence not a wooden fence, it doesn't go against the ground and when the land has a slight hill it is going to look that way.

I would never buy anything again from Lowe's. On July 2, 2018 we purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator from Lowe's. They scheduled delivery for 1 month out. They canceled that delivery the morning it was supposed to happen. They said it would take another month. They delivered a refrigerator that time but the door was scratched and had dents. We did not accept delivery. The ordered another one set a delivery date of two weeks. When delivered it had a door that was also dented and scratched. We went back to Lowe's in September to get our money back. They suggested we order a different brand. We ordered a Kitchenaid. Lowe's said it would take a month to get because it was a special order.
Between September 17 and December 14 Lowe's scheduled the delivery 4 times and canceled it the morning of the scheduled delivery each time. Finally, on Dec 23 we received the new refrigerator. Lowe's also screwed up the paperwork on the extended warranty we purchased and it took several phone calls to their local store and home office to get it straightened out. During all of this we purchased a new Washing machine and a new microwave from Home Depot. Both arrived in perfect condition within two weeks. Lowe's and Home Depot are within two blocks of one another. So convenience is not an issue. Quality of service is.

I ordered a Water Softener and an LG Refrigerator from Lowes.com, before Thanksgiving. All paid in full using Lowe's credit card. Had the Water Softener delivered in a few days but not the refrigerator. I called them and had that rescheduled for delivery on Dec 10th, 2018. Dec 10th comes and goes, no delivery. When I called the next day, they had a hard time finding my order. Finally they did, and then scheduled for delivery for following Tuesday the 18th between 12.30 and 4.30 pm. Even got a text confirmation from XPO about this delivery. However, no sign of delivery on Tuesday!
When I called them in the evening they are trying to track the order again. Then they reschedule me again for Wednesday 3.30-7.30. On Wednesday evening, I get a call again from XPO saying the truck's lights are not working so they cannot deliver! Hard to believe, but again, I said OK, and agreed to a delivery on Friday the 21st. On Friday morning, I get a voicemail from someone called Craig saying that they are delivering my "Water Softener" today since the refrigerator hasn't arrived yet! Now, note that by now, my water softener has already been installed at my home over 3 weeks back.
I called and spoke to Barbara in delivery at the Lowe's Woodbridge store, and she had no clue on anything! I had to tell her it's not the water softener but the refrigerator that I was supposed to get today. Then she tells me that the refrigerator is damaged!!! By now, I was completely exhausted with their excuses!!!! They just were not motivated to deliver my order. I then spoke to the Assistant Store Manager, believe his name was Rick, who apologized but was more than willing to cancel my order!!! Not finding a quick resolution, but just cancel. I finally gave in and asked for my order to be cancelled.
I got a call back within 1/2 hour from someone cancelling my order and crediting my card. If only they had shown the same promptness in delivering my order, they would not have lost a loyal customer forever!!!! Never again will I ever step into a LOWE'S!!! And by the way, I called the 1-800 Lowe's customer service also, who took my complaint, gave me a reference number and told me that someone will call within 24 hours to address my issue.

I am an owner of several rental properties and needed to have some carpet and vinyl replaced in one of my units. I went to Lowe's assuming that I would get a reasonable price and guaranteed service. Boy that was a mistake! Let me tell you about my nightmare: First, they-after about 2 weeks-were finally able to get someone from one of their contractors to come out and take the measurements for the carpet. I took time off from work and met a teenager from the contract agency at the unit. I assumed that he took the necessary measurements and delivered them to Lowe's. I went to the store 2 days later to complete the purchase. First of all, I was not able to find anyone in the store that appeared to even have a clue as to what as to what I was talking about.
I was finally directed to the Flooring department where the associate was unable to locate my account. After about 30 minutes and location of the account, I was informed that the contract agency had not put the measurements in the system and they would try to get in touch with them. After contacting them the next day, I was told that the teenager who took the measurements had failed to put the measurements in the system and had been subsequently fired from his job. I finally got a new measurement a week later.
When I returned to the Flooring department, and explained my situation to an associate and asked them to look up the account so that I could ascertain the status, they looked at me like "a deer caught in the headlight". Finally after another manager came in, they were able to find the account. To make a long story short, we got the carpet installation scheduled, but again only after I called several times to get an installation date and threatened to cancel the order if I was not given firm confirmation. The contractors installed the carpet about 6 weeks after my initial order. The vinyl installation never happened and the associates were unable to locate the initial order or give me any updated information. I finally gave up and went with another company (50 Flooring) which completed the measurement/installation in a timely and professional manner. Never again will I deal with Lowes! Done, finished, finale!

Thought it would be a great idea to get Black Friday deals from Lowe’s... Never again will I be buying appliances from them. It has been nothing but a nightmare. I purchased an LG washer and dryer. My original delivery date was supposed to be 12/7. This date got pushed to 12/10 for the washer and 12/15 for the dryer. 12/10 comes and I have no washer because the delivery company (XPO) was having truck issues. XPO calls and rescheduled delivery for Wednesday 12/13. Nothing comes on 12/13. I call Lowe’s and they have not received the order from XPO and explain I will need to refund and rebill the washer. I go through the process of doing this and am told the washer will come on Monday 12/17.
Meanwhile, on 12/15, I am told through automated email that my dryer will be delivered. I call a different Lowe’s store and they explain that the dryer has been cancelled and are not sure why. The store manager says he’ll look into it. On 12/17 my husband takes off of work to receive the washer but instead of a washer, comes a dryer. I call Lowe’s and they tell me they have me down for a dryer. I speak with someone in delivery (no idea how I ended up with a dryer) but happen to have a washer there and say they’ll get it out to me on Today 12/20. I call the store the morning of 12/20 because I have not received a phone call and am told delivery has not placed the washer on the truck to be delivered today. Still have no washer. I am deeply disappointed in their delivery and will NEVER order online from them again.

I placed an order to have carpet installed in one of my rental houses for $1922 with the expectation that it would be installed in the normal 2-3 week timeline that it has taken in the past. I called and went by the store and left phone messages for someone to call me back 8 times and no one ever would to let me know when the carpet would come in or be installed. I left 3 messages for Rodney ** the store manager to call me back and he never did until I called a fourth time. I ended up talking to the CPO (Central Processing Office) 6 more times with poor customer service. They offered me what they think is compensation for it taking 8 weeks to get the carpet installed and having poor customer service. It is not even close to what it cost me for having to wait 5 additional weeks to get the carpet installed and the headaches that came along with it.
This store is very poorly managed and many of the employees have no clue what is going on. This store and the whole experience reminds me of a Kmart. Because of all of this I will never buy carpet from Lowe's in Trussville, AL again. And will definitely tell all of my investor friends and leave every review I can to let other people know what they can expect from Lowe's and to not buy carpet there either.

We ordered an appliance twice from Lowe's. The first time we ordered a stove. We were contacted with a delivery date 2 months after buying the stove. We called to confirm our delivery so that we could take time off work to be here... No one showed up. Turns out, Lowe's never even had the stove to deliver and the Lowe's associate told me this happens all the time with their delivery company, XPO. Second delivery date, no show. Third delivery date...the stove is broken. Only half of the stove top is working. So finally by the fourth delivery, we got a working stove.
Now, we bought a dishwasher from Lowe's. It's been a month since we purchased it and we finally got a call that our delivery was scheduled for yesterday. Once again we called to confirm that they were coming since we need to take time off work to be here. Once again, no one showed up, no one called. When we called Lowe's to find out what was going on, Lowe's told us that they don't have our washer yet and they don't know why XPO wants to deliver. We have wasted so much time and money on trying to get an appliance delivered. Lowe's is well aware of all these problems and the associates seem frustrated as well. Yet corporate insists on using XPO for delivery and hasn't bothered to fix these major communication issues. They have lost our business for sure this time.

Tried to place an online order for shelving with much difficulty. Finally had a customer rep process the order for me. After never receiving a confirmation I contacted customer service. They provided me with a copy of my order. After reviewing the order it was obvious a mistake had been made totaling the cost. I contacted customer service again. They asked that I forward a copy of the order which I did.
After about 30 minutes on the phone I could never convince the rep the pricing (basic math) was wrong. She kept me on hold for 15 minutes while she checked with her supervisor. Her reply was the pricing was correct even though the paperwork showed it was not. I finally canceled the order. On top of all of this, and I certainly cannot explain, the content of the emails that were shared actually changed. Lowe’s apparently can revise emails that are both sent and received within their system. I realized this later when I went back later to re-read the emails.

I went to Lowe’s to pick out flooring for my house. Long story short... I spent 3 months trying to get vinyl and carpet installed. The day they show up to do the vinyl, they look at my floor and refuse to do it. The reason was I had not taken up the old tile in the house. I had not had a problem before doing vinyl over old grocery store looking tile because I had done it before as I own several rental houses. The girl that measured the floor never said anything to me about removing it.
They claimed it might have asbestos in it... which I had another flooring company come out to do the work that Lowe’s refused to do and they said if it were 9 in tiles it would have asbestos but mine were 12 in tiles. The reason Lowe’s would not do it was also because the house was built in 1903... But the tiles were not that old. It seems to me Lowe’s is very unorganized and their teams are not trained well to inform customers. I will now use only a local flooring company in the future.
