    To be perfectly honest I didn't let these guys (Lowe’s) get far enough to cause me a problem. When the salesman presented me with a two or three page contract in small print and wouldn't give me a firm installation date I ran. One of the items in the contract that turned me off was the one that mentioned giving Lowe’s permission to take pictures of my home. The other was the salesman telling me that I could sign first and read later. Ha ha. Rosner's, a local firm in West Palm Beach was recommended so I contacted them. After they install it I will write a review about them.

    I am writing to let you know that your company manager John and the delivery company are very rude and unorganized. I got a call Friday night telling us delivery would be Saturday between 10:30 am - 12:30 noon. Saturday I was at the gym until 10 am, when I came out I received 2 messages around 8:40 am, the manager John left message saying the delivery guy was in front of my door. They will wait a few minutes and then they will leave. I called back to the number & the delivery guy said, "you can call Lowe's to reschedule," they won't come back.

    We called Lowe's manager John and told him why did they come earlier? He seemed annoyed at me, he didn't explaining why they came early without notice, also he didn't apologize. I decided to cancel the order, he said "OK", seeming he didn't care and hung up. One apology would make a big difference, how can I trust them again. Please respond if anyone receives my complaint. Hope I get an answer soon. Very upset customer. Thanks.

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

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

    Bought a kobalt 60 gallon air compressor. 6mos later it quit. Took it back to lowe's to get it fix or changed at and the general manager said that I would have to fill out a release form to relieve them from this air compressor to where they won't have to replace it again and never mind. I bought it April 2016 and took an extended warranty out on it plus 3 yrs that came with it. When I wouldn't go for filling out a release form he called the cops to have us remove from the store and told us to never come back after I told him the date on the air compressor shows it was made 01/06/2016. Poor management and sorry company. Lowe's and their tools kobalt need to be blackballed all over and this took place in Sikeston Missouri.

    I bought a $290.91 Protection Plan with Lowe's for three major appliances despite warnings. Sears always took care of issues with my appliances so I expected the same. A Whirlpool refrigerator shelf fell apart due to poor manufacturer quality, they referred me to Whirlpool who refused to help. Then a cheap piece of plastic used inside the Samsung washer fell off due to corrosion and they told me I would have to pay to get it fixed.

    I recently bought a door from Lowe's, love my door and the people who sold it to me were wonderful! My complaint is their credit dept... I knew my bill was late so I drove an hour to pay my bill directly to the service dept. desk people. Told them my story. Paid the late fee and paid the bill off which was over $1000. I start getting a bill for a finance charge. So I call the main office. After explaining my whole story to the man who has no sympathy instead he ask me if I'm having financial difficulties in a demeaning way. I paid my bill over the phone with discontent. So beware on how Lowe's have their hidden charges, I know I've learned my lesson with Lowe's!

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

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

    There is one screen need replace for my windows. I call to store few times and nobody knows how to help me to fix, they just give me phone number to contact the salesperson who sale the windows to me. I called the guy couple times and no answer the phone. I left the message and no responds for. Until I went to store, talked to windows department, they looked my order history, there is no screen replace note either. However the person who help me went to a room, find out my replace screen was there. I looked the date, it was two months ago they have had order for me. It's unbelievable, that so suck for they service. If I didn't go to the store that I may can't get the screen forever. How can I trust them again to get good service from Lowe's.

    Ordered a dishwasher from the website on Dec 1. Called the toll free number before ordering as instructed. Representative completed the transaction over the phone and emailed me the confirmation details. Unit was to be installed in 1-2 weeks. It is now Dec 26 and neither the local store or the national customer support line can tell me where my dishwasher is. There has been no follow up by the company. I am doing all of the legwork to make calls and try to get status. No one wants to own resolving the issue. It seems their attitude is that they have our money so it really doesn't matter when if ever we actually get what we paid for. I am old enough to remember what good customer service is. Apparently the people running Lowe's are not. Will never buy a major item like this from a big box store like Lowe's again.

    I purchased a complete set of new appliances in November. I was told the dishwasher would be 10 business days, it's been 30. I called multiple times about delivery and status and asked "what do I get in return for your poor supply chain management?" They are currently holding my paid for merchandise hostage. I called and asked for delivery today and was told no. As a consumer all I can do at this point is return the merchandise. You have no recourse and they do not care to work with you as a customer. I am a director of customer service for a 30000 end user software. You always have no or low cost solutions for customer service. If not you hired the wrong people.

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

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

    I purchased warranty for water softener from Lowe’s and as it turned out it failed after a year. I was informed to submit an invoice for reinstallation and will be reimbursed from 14-30 days. I first submitted the form with required document on Oct 14th then on Nov 14th I called to follow up. They said the claim dept never received it so I forwarded my original email with support again. I also received a confirm email from them that they did received it this time and forwarded claim to be processed. Today is Dec 21st, I called and was told the information was resubmitted for processing again two days ago and there is no way to know how long this will take. Every time I call they have to resubmit again. I am so frustrated with this whole process. This was the 1st warranty I purchase and it will also be the last. I feel as though this is a scam because no one can give me an answer. I'm not sure I would go back to LOWE'S for anything from now on.

    Ordered an item on 12/04/16 for my two grandchildren, one is 10 years old and one is 11 years old (who had pooled their money), to give their dad this for Christmas. They were so excited, because they worked all summer with their dad to make this money, see their mom died of cancer two years ago and so dad is all they have. Was given an order number and confirmation number. I started calling the store on 12/13/16 and they would not take the time to look anything up. Just say it is not here. I then started calling the 800 number and was told several time that the vendor approved the order.

    On 12/19/16 I got a nice man that dug deeper, and found out that the vendor claims he never received the order and they would not be able to fill the order. I could not believe that I was going to have to tell my grands that this had happened! We got out and went to several stores that might carry this and found one. Had to pay $50.00 more for it. But at least Christmas is not ruined for my grandchildren. BUT NO THANKS TO LOWES!!! Sorry service.

    Called Lowe's on Saturday to replace a broken water heater. Sales person convinced me to purchase a water heater and she said that I am all set for Monday installation. No calls on Monday from installer or Lowe's until I called them back around noon on Monday. At starting, they said not able to find any information about the order, later, they were able to locate the order and found out that the purchase order never received the installer at all. So far no updates from Lowe's, very upset with the way I have been treated at an emergency situation. All they cared about was that I pay in full before they raise a purchase order. Stay away from these folks, it is a lesson learned for me clear and loud.

    I ordered a Christmas tree from Lowe's on December 6th. They sent an email indicating the estimated delivery date was the 12th. I emailed for a status check on the 14th, and they responded 2 days later to tell me the order was being shipped from the manufacturer and they WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE if it didn't arrive on time. They said the tree should arrive on the 20th, 5 days before Christmas. LOWE's is responsible to their customers to provide accurate timeframes. They should hold their vendors responsible to their guidelines. I wouldn't order anything from LOWE's. They don't have your best interest in mind. I ordered from Amazon and got a tree in 2 days.

    I am disappointed in the lack of service for my online order, I placed on Nov. 23 and I will not get my item until Dec 24. Not because it was back ordered but because of Lowe's lack of service. I called a week after purchasing the item because I thought it would be delivered by then. The customer service rep told me that the item was not in stock. So I called a week after that and another customer rep told me that my order was canceled.

    My order still says processing right now (3 weeks later) even though they said it was canceled. I have no clue why my order was canceled and I had to place the order over the phone. The customer rep told me that they will try to deliver the item asap because of my delay but 5 days later I get a call from my local store and they told me they won't be able to deliver my item for another 2 weeks (Christmas Eve). This is terrible service. Why would anyone with this kind of experience want to purchase from Lowe's if this is what they should expect. If I had known that I would have to wait a month to receive my item I would have never purchased it from Lowe's. I only purchased the item from Lowe's because I held them to a higher standard and I realized my mistake in doing so. This is ridiculous.

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

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

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

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

    $1,400 taken by Lowe's with no window install after 3 months by Torio Construction in NJ. Lack of returned calls for 3 months by Christian ** and Park **. Immense run around and failure to meet contract agreements in conjunction with Lowe's. I will be filing a racial and gender discrimination complaint with the NJ State Licensing Bureau and courts against Torio Construction and Lowe's if the window is not installed Saturday. Lowe's corporate called my house late last night and stated to me that the installer Torio Construction is to pick up the window. No one told me the process. How would I know. Whose job is it to tell me? Corporate planned to call Torio Construction regarding why he was not going to do so, this was their words to me. I also shared concerns regarding why if I did not call to confirm install for Saturday no one would have told me the process.

    I also recently found out it is not a morning install that I waited for over 3 months to arrange. Because I asked him why he is not picking up the window (based on what Lowe's stated to me last night and to give him a heads up of the call), he says he is not doing install 2 days before the scheduled date. That is massive retaliation and intentional racial bias practices against a ** female customer's complaint for filing with BBB of NJ. I will be suing his business and Lowe's for my money if the install is not completed. Lowe's may think they can hire contractors who engage in these practices of retaliation or discrimination but there will be a massive state complaint regarding this concern. No agency will be left out if not resolved. This is a nightmare from hell but rest assure hell will go both ways. Torio Construction and Lowe's will be answering paperwork for the next two years.

    I may be ** and female but I am not an ignorant fool to these race based under handed gender discrimination actions and tactics. I will be filing a complaint against every single person and party involved for implied and written breach of contract. Taking $1,400 from this customer over 3 months ago and never returning calls and failing to meet installation agreements based on bias in contract business. Mr. ** fails to give me his supervisor's info numerous request made, Parker ** of production department has not returned a call since October.

    Estimator came to our property on 10/11/2016 and was very professional. Installer called a week or so later to schedule. Was supposed to be here on 12/5 between 10am and noon - so of course we schedule our day around him and finally after calling Lowe's at 4pm to find out where he is, the guy shows up at 5pm - when it is dark! Said he's late due to a water leak on a job he is on - Ever heard of calling the customer to let them know??? Says he can't start until he knows where PGE and water lines are located and blames that on the estimator. He calls PGE and when PGE came out to mark the location of lines, they said they called him twice and when they asked for him by name, he said no one here by that name and hung up.

    Who is this guy hiding from??? Yes, they did have the correct number. He called today at 4:45 to get the address (he was already out there once and has the plans with the address) and my husband told him not to bother showing up. So disgusted with Lowe's at this point. They did refund us 10% or $110 of the cost of materials, but installation charges are another $2,000. Now it is 10 days past our original installation date and we have told Lowe's to pick up the materials. It would be nice if these big box stores got some references and background on these guys they contract with. I will NEVER do business with Lowe's again!!!

    We ordered a new vanity to be put in our half bath on August 28th. We were never notified that the vanity came in. We had to find out ourselves two weeks after it came in by going into the store. Since then this has been one blunder after another. If it can go wrong... it will. What should have been a very simple easy installation has turned into a nightmare. It took Lowe's 2 months to get an installer to put it in. Then we find out the person who measured put the drawers on the wrong side of the cabinet and now they can't open because of the trim on the door and the shut off valve for the sink.

    Lowe's was supposed to order us a new vanity on 11/28/16 with a rush. We find out yesterday that vanity was never ordered. I ordered this in August thinking I would have it done by Christmas. Now I won't have even a working sink for Christmas. I've been very patient with them but now I'm losing my patience. Their people don't seem to care about the customers and do not follow through with anything. This has been a joke. I will never use Lowe's for any installation or renovation again. I should have learned 5 years ago when we bought a new front door and it took them 4 months to install that because they broke the first door.

    We recently purchased an LG Smart Sensor dryer from Lowe's and opted to have the unit installed by a "certified technician". Lowe's works with a company by the name of North Country Install in our area. These installers are so uncommunicative and unprofessional. They wait until the day of the scheduled install to tell you what time they will be to your home, leaving essentially no time to get your affairs in order. With our purchase, we have had to have this company out almost 4 different times to get the dryer properly installed. And even after that, the unit itself did not work properly! Not only was the installation unsatisfactory, but the level of service (or lack thereof) we received from the Customer Service team was laughable. We ended up returning the dryer outright and will never be purchasing from Lowe's ever again after this fiasco.

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

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

    Original Review: Dec. 11, 2016

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lowe's staff told us they would need at least an extra 50 sq. feet. or 800.00 for a small bedroom. We remove and dispose of carpet and replace or repair tack strips.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When going there if you're lucky you might find a store associate who is not out of sight 90% of the time. Either they don't know anything about the products or make you feel like you're bothering them. You go in there which is the Gulfgate Houston store, and you're on your own. I mean that. You get up to check out and you're steered to the self-check out by some tired individual who act just like the rest of them who act like they hate every minute they are there.

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

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

    One week later his report came in that this was normal wear and tear? Something stinks there? So it takes another month to get manufacturer's rep out here, and he sends in a report two weeks later saying carpet was 20% worn out, but that is normal? Really? After 2 months 1/5 of the life of the carpet is worn down and that is normal? Now for the worst part, I have been in contact with lowe's exec. customer service, Lacy, and she does not care that there has been lying and deceit during this whole process. I want phone call from executive level on Monday. If not, I already scheduled an appointment with local tv station for Tuesday afternoon. They are very interested. You know David and Goliath story.

Windows sitting in a warehouse for 3 weeks waiting to get damaged and still haven't been scheduled to be installed. Employees are incompetent. They frustrate the customer and skilled contractors that do the real install work, which makes the contractor not want to put their Lowe's job as a priority knowing that when they show up to a job site, the parts will be wrong, missing or delayed. Just spend a couple hundred more dollars and go with Window World. They handle the process from start to finish and probably turns out better.

    We purchased a closet door in April. It was a custom size, came in about 5 weeks from ordering and was the wrong size. Our money was refunded and we reordered a different door, this one with trim as we were told we did not order trim originally. We still have not received the door. The first person I dealt with blamed everything on the door company but would never call back. When I called I could not reach him. Finally caught him at the store. He assured me he would call back, never did. That person is no longer with Lowe's. The new person, Jonathan, assured he would get things moving. He did call me back and it seemed like he would get the project done. But he quit calling and when I did get hold of him he assured me he involved the assistant manager and action was being taken.

    One day an installer showed up and installed the wrong door and no trim. I talked to Jonathan again, he apologized, agree it was a mistake and would figure out what happened. At this point, early October, I am begging for it to be installed by Thanksgiving. I was told that it would be possible. Well, we joked about the goofy doors with no trim to our friends and relatives as we sat around the table for Thanksgiving. It's an open space and the closet is very visible from kitchen, dining room and entrance. But it not a joke and I'm sick of trying to track someone down for an answer. It just closet doors. They have been paid for but I have been living with an eyesore for 6 months still trying to get an answer about when they might be installed. My understanding is that they have been at the store since 11/11 but no installer, we were told we could pick them up.

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

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

We chose AM and I plead that "Please as early as possible. (I have some additional errands and chores I would like to take care of that AM." They finally arrived at 5:30. If I had not been in great need, they would have taken the pair back. Their excuse was that they loaded mine first so we had to wait until they unloaded everything else.

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

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

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

    I have owned a home for 25 years and have had plenty of work done on my home during this time. Doing business with Lowe's is the worst decision I have ever made. I ordered carpet for 2 rooms on Sept. 19th. As of Nov. 21st I have had one room of carpet installed (after a lot of headaches) and cannot convince anyone that it is important for me to get the second room done too. I have contacted the production office no less than 12 times and the store at least as many times. The list of excuses are as follows; carpet is back ordered, "someone forgot to call you about installation", the carpet wasn't cut correctly, "you didn't answer your phone", and "I really don't know what happened". Clearly, Lowe's does not value their customers. Every promise made about rectifying this situation has gone unfulfilled. I don't know anymore if this is malicious or sheer incompetence. DO NOT SHOP AT LOWE'S.

    I bought a samsung washer in Feb of 2015. I disliked it but used it, well to no avail it was one that was on recall list. So I call to get refund for my protection agreement and they said it would cancel my dryer also. I bought it for both of them. So why can't they figure out how to cancel agreement for 3 yrs and 4 months? At $19.39 a yr = $58.17 and $6.46 for 4 months = $64.63 that they get to keep FREE because the washer went to the scrap yard so it would NOT BLOW UP in my home.

    About 8 weeks ago we purchased a screen door for our patio and contracted for Lowe's to install it. The door was to have been installed on November 8, 2016 and as that day came and went I called Lowe's to get a status of the door. The sales representative told me that I would have to call back the next day. I called the next day and the sales representative once again told me that she could not provide any information about the door and that I would have to call back the next day. With Lowe's it is always call the next day. Still no door or any idea when that door might be installed. Lowe's required full payment at the time the door was ordered and trying to get any explanation is difficult at best. Found the CEO's E-Mail address online and sent him a note. Wow what happened next will amaze you.

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

    I placed an order with Lowe's in Monroe NC for cabinets and countertops. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. First when my order came in I had to wait 2 and a half hours to pick up my order because they didn't have it right then. I had to make several trips back to bring back damaged items and wait for replacement to come in. Well after 3 months finally got cabinets then ordered countertops just to have them come back too short 2 times because they don't listen. They just pass the job on to the next person. Well now they're saying I won't have tops till Dec 2. That will be 5 months after I started. You can build a whole house in this amount of time. They have been terrible.

    The installer for Lowe's of Worcester Massachusetts has left a large dumpster in our driveway, blocking one of the garages, for a month. Lowe's began installing a deck for us around October 12 and finished it about a week later. We have no complaints about the deck, but the large dumpster brought in to hold the debris from the old deck is still in our driveway. A month later it is still here blocking our garage. Repeated calls to the installer, to the store and to the estimator have resulted in no action. The latest was when we spoke to the store manager two days ago.

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

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

Now they call me the night before my delivery telling me my delivery time has change. Not happy with this I made arrangements with my employer to leave work to be here with the time that we agreed on and now they want to change it. That's good way to do business. They said I could reschedule for another day and gave me the same time options.

    Now if you cannot deliver between 4-8 on Wednesday because it's too far out why in the world would you offer me the same time just a different day BUT it still the same thing too far out from your warehouse. Really pissed off and disgusted at this time. It's a crying shame you can't go somewhere and buy a washer and take it home and do your laundry all in the same day.

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

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

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

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

    Original Review: Nov. 4, 2016

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Following that an installation crew would have the fence up in about two weeks, and that about the 21st of October a fence would be up. Around the 14th, 15th, 16th I called my Lowe's sales representative, left several messages and never got a call back. On the 16th I called the stores manager at the Garner store.

I contacted that store and they said they were not responsible because they didn't measure and sign a contract with me. That day I called the corporate 1800 help number, received more apologies and was assured they would fix this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

First one made such terrible noises I had to have them take it back within a few days. The second one lasted for about 2 years but the repairman almost lived at my house. It finally couldn't be repaired any more. The 3rd one is 1 yr old and it appears that the fan is broken. I have to wait over a week before they will send someone out to fix it! Besides the scratches and dents, it came with a crooked sticker on the front freezer door that read "smart inverter". Took manager 1 year to get a replacement (that is also damaged)!

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

I go pick it up go back to the job and my phone go off. I've got a message Lowe's had made an unauthorized charge on the same card I already paid for the flooring with. Charging me twice for the flooring. Thank American Express for those text message alerts. I go back to Lowe's and the girl at the customer service desk says she can't help me???

I ask for a manager he comes to the customer service desk I show him the charges on my phone and he agrees that the 2nd charge was wrong. He makes 2 phone calls and says he can't put the money back on the card right that minute which I already knew it takes 8 days.

    So I call American Express and tell them about the unauthorized charge. They say I have to wait the 8 days to see if it is returned to my account. I wait the 8 days and Lowe's completed the charge and took my money without permission even after they said they were putting it back on my card. So now American Express is Disputing it for me another 10 days for this then when I win it will be a while before I get my money. I'm not in the business of loaning big companies $354.73. All I can say is if you charge there keep an eye on your account because I doubt I'm the only one that this is happening to. I will update this when and if I get my money back.

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

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

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

    Even after getting on the phone with the corporate, the lady over the phone did not bother to understand my problem and gave me the same runaround. Anyways, I'm just pissed to the max, and this is the last time they would ever get my business, that's for sure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    We had Lowe's of Paragould, Ar. come in and remodel our kitchen. I say to the contractor that I wanted a kitchen that everyone would come in and say "oh my I wish I had that kitchen", he reassured me I would have it. Well I wish a hundred times I would have kept my old kitchen. I've never been so disappointed with anything in my life as I am with my almost 30,000.00 dollar kitchen. This was started in April and now here it is the end of Sept. And I'm still waiting on knobs for my cabinet doors, nothing lined up with the old cabinet so they put flat boards around the top of my cabinet to cover gaps, then boards on the sides of cabinet to cover areas where they didn't make cabinet wide enough, my lazy suzie is already broke, my garbage bin is not correct and for everything we've pointed out we've got nothing but excuses about why it was done that way.

    We've called customer service and a little was done but not enough to make us happy. This has been the worse experience of our life, we have a kitchen that looks like it was thrown up, there's areas where you can see that cabinet are going at a slant, the screws that's holding handles that we do have are so sharp that when doors are shut they're scratching up the cabinets. My one set of doors are so small you can hardly put anything in them, sharp edges of screws that hold cabinets together was not cut down, like I was told they would be. I have black marker that was put on very messy around grooves of cabinets that I'm still working hard to try to get it off, my husband and I ended up having to put our refrigerator in and light up in kitchen cause we kept getting excuses on why they couldn't come out.

    Needless to say our dream kitchen turned out to be a nightmare and instead of people walking in and saying "wow", they're pointing out the things they see wrong and saying "sorry, we know where not to go". I can honestly say if I had the money I would have this kitchen ripped out and someone else replace it. After I looked at reviews, which is what I should have done here, had I done that Lowe's would not have done my kitchen. It's sad that the only thing in my kitchen that I'm proud of is my countertops, the glass in my top doors, the light we put up and my new appliances. This was a very expensive lesson learned.

    Our Lowe's purchase was the first and last we'll ever make. We purchased Pergo Flooring on 8/9/16 to be installed and the entire process was extremely long and very disappointing. From the date of purchase, in store the Sale Associate did not seem very knowledgeable and was not very friendly. We had to wait an entire week after the flooring came in for the transition/stair molding from the Manufacture. Materials delivered the week on Sept. 5th only to notice they ordered Base molding instead of Quarter round. Called the store that day and spoke to a Janna who assured me she or her manager would call me back. Once again the associate seemed unknowledgeable. Needless to say I never did receive a phone call from either.

    Installer arrived Monday 9/12/216. So, not only did he have to deal with the wrong molding he also discovered they ordered the wrong color Transition/Stair molding from the manufacture. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! It took 3 days for someone to bring out the quarter round only to find out it's not a color that matches our existing baseboards. Back to the store those go. The Installer offered to go pick up new molding and stain himself. I learned Lowe's does not carry all the materials needed to complete a flooring job. New transition/stair molding was ordered and that took another week. Installer came back out on 9/23/16 to finish the job. He did a good job on the flooring with the exception of where the molding and stair rail meet at the top of our stairs.

    We also had quite a few nicks to patch up and paint on our walls. I should also mention we ordered carpeting from Home Depot around the same time we ordered this flooring from Lowe's and we have to push them out 3 or 4 times. Had Home Depot carried this type flooring we most definitely would have gone though them for the entire purchase. So it took 7 weeks from start to finish. UNACCEPTABLE!!! Will never step into a Lowe's again.

    LOWE'S ROBBED CUSTOMER OF MONEY. Was at store 1510 today 8:20 PM, Trans # **, bought $69 total items. Paid with a few gift cards (Amex and VISA). One of the cards was $3.50. The cashier hit cancelled instead of accept by mistake but slipped the card into the drawer. When she realized the mistake, she called the supervisor over to either take the card out to run it again or credit the total. The "Supervisor" walked over, shrugged her shoulder and said she can't open the drawer to get the card out then walked away. The cashier stood there, didn't know what to do to get me the $3.50 credit. Basically "Sorry but I can't give you YOUR money!"

    I simply told her to not worry and just forget about the small amount. However, I am extremely upset with the way it was handled. The Supervisor to the very least should have credited me with the difference or offered me to take something of equivalent value, and apologized for my inconvenience because of a mistake on Lowe's part. You need to train your workers appropriately so that you NEVER should rob your customers outright like that.

    This washing machine had to be repaired/serviced in January, March, June, July and September 2016. The initial purchase was made 10/12/2016. I've asked Lowe's to replace the appliance citing the number of repairs within the first year of purchase. Lowe's has adamantly refused to replace the washer stating Samsung would not approve the replacement. As a last resort, I called Samsung's executive office today and explained the situation. Marci the Samsung representative was extremely surprised to hear of my experience and further stated Lowe's is not authorized to make decisions on Samsung's behalf. She then proceeded to look at my account and Marci stated she saw where Lowe's generated work order tickets but they were later closed as completed without any reference of repair.

    Marci instructed me to call Lowe's to make a request for the work order tickets to send the documents to Samsung along with a copy of my receipt of purchase. Samsung stated they would like to review the document for possible accommodation of the appliance replacement. I immediately called Lowe's corporate office to request the documents and was informed it would take 48 hours for the documents to be forwarded to Samsung directly. I reminded the Lowe's Associate I requested the documents be sent to my email address. It seems like they are determined to bypass, making sure I would not know what documents were going to be forwarded to Samsung.

    I have made it clear to both Samsung and Lowe's of the "Lemon Law" designed to protect consumers from these very issues. The last repair today, 9/21/16 was as a result of the faulty repair done back in July by the last technician. My washer will go out of warranty on 10/12/16. I expect Lowe's is waiting for that to happen to tell me the appliance is out of warranty and there is nothing they can do about it. All I am asking is the washer be replaced due to the apparent faulty machine I got. I purchased a high end appliance and got a piece of junk and paid top $$.

    Don't buy appliances from Lowe's. I heard nothing but good things about buying Appliances from Lowe's so that is who I used to buy a fridge, stove, and dishwasher. Everything went well with delivery until the next day I went down stairs and found water. Apparently the fridge water line was not tightened and caused water damage. It has now been a month. It took two weeks for the store to submit the claim. It has been two weeks now in claims and I have yet to hear from the adjuster or his manager despite multiple calls to them.

    I hired Lowe's to install an in-wall oven which they performed three months ago. First of all, I was overcharged for the installation. R&R Plumbing, who performed the work, charged me in advance for cabinetry work which was not required. I have yet to get a refund for that. Most importantly, the installer failed to ensure the oven worked prior to their departure on a late Friday afternoon. It was on but I discovered later that it wasn't heating. It has reached 300 degrees one time after nearly TWO HOURS of "preheating". I have contacted the installer, Lowe's Customer Care, and management at the store in Matthews, NC where I purchased the appliance. At this point, even their Central Production Office doesn't know what to do - I've heard them argue with management that so much time has passed, an appliance technician should be sent and not the installer. Really, is Lowe's this paralyzed by its own red tape?

    After a minimum of 10 phone calls or visits to the store (which I am now documenting carefully), each time I'm promised that someone will contact me THAT DAY to schedule replacement of the appliance or review the wiring installation. Management at that store has made that promise to me FOUR times. Not once has that happened. I have never received a callback. This began in early August. I have not had a working oven in my home for three months now. I am selling my house and am quickly approaching crossroads with this problem. I can't sell my house without a working oven. So do I yank the oven out and get someone else to put a working oven in? That would certainly require that I sue Lowe's after the fact. If I don't get some resolution by the end of September, Lowe's will have left me no choice.

    On June 10,2016 we placed an over $3,000 order with Lowe's for carpet for our new home. On June 17, 2016 we also placed an order for some new hardwood floors. Cost of the hardwood floors over $12,000. Prior to these purchases we had also bought from Lowe's a new stainless steel refrigerator and chest freezer. All together we spent over $20,000 in 2 months. Our carpet was ordered and when we were contacted about the installation, we were told they were going to wait until our hardwood floor was installed. The carpet was for our upstairs and we had to argue with the store that it made no sense to delay.

    Our carpet was finally installed at the end of June. We had some damage to an upstairs wall that was not brought to our attention and we had to contact the store. At first we were told that the installers were not liable for any damage and there would be no repairs. After several days, we were contacted by the installation team who sent someone over to repair their damage. Our hardwood floor was finally delivered to the store and then delivered to our house. It was unboxed and placed in our eat in kitchen. It sat there for 10 days. On the first day of installation, it was determined that the wrong flooring was sent, but that Lowe's would eat the cost of having the flooring glued down rather than what we ordered was a click product.

    We decided right away that we wanted what we had originally ordered. Lowe's then had the original flooring salesperson contact us to tell us this was a better installation and that Lowe's was being generous in their offer to eat the extra cost. We stuck to our guns and insisted on the original product. Lowe's then would not order the correct product until, at their convenience, they picked up the incorrect product. They picked up the product and ordered the correct flooring. The new flooring came in and again had to sit in our kitchen for 10 days. The catch on the installation was that we were put back in the rotation for waiting for the floor to be installed.

    At this point we were ready to pull out of the whole deal. We stuck with the incredibly frustrating process and our new floors were completed on August 29, 2016. In all of this, we never felt like anyone at Lowe's apologized to us and we never felt like we were treated fairly. Early next year we are planning on a kitchen makeover and Lowe's will never get my future business. I work for a customer-focused company and I know we would not be in business if we treated our customers the way Lowe's treated us.

When contact was made to HR and ethics point, with no help I may add, the store manager, Stephanie retaliated on the employee. This employee has never been terminated, never caused any problems and has always gone above and beyond at what he does as all of his awards prove it.

    If I could give Lowe's a zero, that would accurate dissatisfaction. Do not use this store for their services for any type of home remodel because you won't even get a professional and complete proposal in order to even make a decision as to use their services or not. They are definitely a group of incompetent individuals that don't know how to communicate with a customer, let alone know what they are doing.

    We are doing a $75K+ home remodel thinking that Lowe's is a reputable company. We paid the $75.00 to have 3 people; Lowe's project specialist, the contractor that does the installation contracted through Lowe's and really not sure who the other guy was... came out to our home to go over what we wanted done. They took measurements, we picked out cabinets and countertops, etc. The Lowe's project specialists said it would take about a week to provide us a proposal.

    We met with the project specialist a week later at the 1701 S Havana Lowe's Store location to go over the proposal and pick out other items; drawer pulls, flooring, etc. She began with "Oh, by the way I am leaving for TX tomorrow and will no longer be your project specialist." Why in the world are we meeting with someone that Lowe's obviously knew would not be a part of our project the very next day??? She was in no way prepared for our meeting. She did everything on the fly. She threw things together just to get out of there.

    The proposal was incomplete to say the least. We were remodeling kitchen, dining room, and two baths. Every page said kitchen, so we didn't know which room was which on the proposal. Line items just had vague descriptions and was not broken down in detail, including the labor. There were numerous items that we discussed while the 3 individuals were at our home that were not even on the proposal. We had no idea what we were paying for in labor for which room.

    We were assured by the PSI Coordinator that himself and the new project specialist would take over our project with no problems. What a joke that was. I emailed the new project specialist and the PSI Coordinator requesting a complete and professional proposal to be emailed to us with a detail breakdown of materials, goods, and labor. We were also made aware that the old project specialist did not save the numerous changes we made while meeting with her at the store, therefore, new plans would have to be re-designed. I spoke with the Manager of the store via phone on 9/1 and discussed our dissatisfaction of the lack of organization and incompletion of the proposal. She assured us that our home remodel would be a high priority going forward and apologized.

    The PSI Coordinator promised via an email on 8/30 that he would have a revised and complete proposal to us by 9/8 "or" let us know where they were in the revised/complete proposal stage on that date. As of 9/13 we didn't hear from anyone regarding the revised/complete proposal. I emailed the PSI Coordinator how upset we were that we have not heard from him or anyone else since 9/1 and that he had promised us a revised/complete proposal on 9/8. I noted, at this point our patience had run out and I requested a refund of our $75.00, as they obviously didn't need our business of $75K+, and we certainly weren't interested in doing business with a company that can't even provide a professional and complete proposal.

    I can't imagine what the actual remodel would have been like if they can't even provide the first stages of a proposal. As of 9/14 still have not received a response to my email from the new project specialist, the manager of the store or the PSI Coordinator, so I called the Manager of the store with our once again dissatisfaction, and this point absolutely disgusted by every individual that was supposed to be working on our home remodel project. She said she was not aware that the new project specialist or the PSI Coordinator had not been in contact with us regarding the revised/complete proposal. She obviously didn't follow up with the project specialist or PSI Coordinator for 14 days to make sure that what they promised was done. No one there does what they say they're going to do.

    I have never dealt with such incompetent individuals that are supposed to be professionals at their jobs. I will let anyone and everyone know to never use their services at that store. BEWARE!!! They have wasted a huge amount of our time, as we now have to start all over with another company. In hindsight, this was a blessing in disguise, as we were made aware very early on in the process that they don't need our business and we certainly do not want their less than incompetent services. Shame on Lowe's for having employees that do not care about their customers enough to even communicate professionally with them. We are in the process of finding a "reputable company" that wants our business!!!

    Have an account at Lowe's. Ordered a washer and dryer. They delivered to the wrong address. Asked they take it to one block to the right address. They refused despite delivery instructions were given (delivered to account holder address units going to house being refurbished). No stacking kit delivered so went to professional help desk. Told to go to customer service, customer service sent us to the department, who sent us to look for person who could help, found the person who took us back to the same person who sent us looking for the person who brought us back to him. Explained no kit delivered. Person agrees he was told but did not bill item. Paid and took item. Had previously went to Lowe's in Orlando. Wanted to order a bathroom faucet but could not order it from them. Had to order from Lowe's University as we lived in their area. Lady wrote down item number on paper.

    Gave it to gentleman who we were dealing with about kit, looked it up on computer, could not find number, said he has never seen that item. Told us to call person in other store for correct number. Frustrated we decided not to bother. As we reached door gentleman comes to us says he found item. Sent us back to counter discussion with clerk why he did not come and do it himself. Told him to ask the person himself as we had no answer. It appears to be in the DNA of Lowe's employees to redirect customer with problems to someone else as you keep being referred from one employee to another. No one wants the problem. Bought two tins of paint, went to cashier who had a problem on the computer with the items bought. He calls another employee who resolve the matter. We note our wrong e-mail address on computer and point it out. Lady says he will change it.

    Cashier says to her "no you change it". She says "you change it", he replies "you are the boss change it". She changes it in frustration. We pay and leave never to return to a Lowe's. Will close account after paying off amount owed. Home Depot have their ticket with service. They are terrible. Oh after pointing out they delivered the washer and dryer to the wrong address (which we had to move ourselves) we asked them not to make the same mistake. When sending to install them went over right address with them. Well would you believe they turned up at the wrong address again. They argued with their dispatch for nearly half an hour before they got some new order to go to the right address. Never, ever again dealing with Lowe's. Poor service and sending their customer around from one staff to another is ingrained in their DNA.

    I never write reviews but, this is ridiculous to me. I purchased 2 cans of Infinity Paint $44.98 each - totaling to almost $90. First off the guy working at the paint counter gave me flat paint when I asked for semi gloss. I didn't even notice it until I was home and unable to return the product. Flat paint is terrible for the project I was doing and the service I was provided was far from good. Additionally, I only purchased the second can of paint, because it was a buy one get one rebate deal. I emailed the rebate info the same day, 3 months later, I still haven't received my rebate. I haven't received a letter in the mail, an email, nothing. After weeks of the online rebate system not working, I was finally able to access my info online. SHOCKER, my rebate was denied because, allegedly, I didn't purchase the two cans of paint (I did). I spoke with a customer care rep. He offered me a $20 rebate. Uhm no? Why in the actual hell would I accept that?

    And furthermore, why would you promote a BOGO rebate and not even provide the offer you listed? After a long phone call with customer service, I finally was promised my $44.98 rebate. I'll be shocked if I actually receive it. The best part is, I get to wait another 6 weeks after I've already waited 3 months!! Whoever is in charge of Lowe's marketing and promotions needs to get it together. This is beyond absurd and clearly no one knows what they are doing. Do not promote a deal if it doesn't in fact exist or if you are going to make it close to impossible for your clientele to actually receive it. Word of advice - skip the Lowe's bargain. Just go to Home Depot where the employees actually know what they are doing.

    9/3/16 John ** a sale specialist in Wash PA Lowe's. I bought a clearance refrigerator that had a few dents on it 27 cubic ft. My husband measured our door way. It was 29 inches so delivery was to be 9/10/1. A manager Denny called me 7:30 in the morning on 9/10/16 to tell me the refrig was used, had no screws in freezer motor that the fridge was not even to be on floor to be sold. So Denny said he had a loaner and would sell me it if want. It was stainless. I did not want a stainless but I went looked at it anyway. Got to store, Denny waited on me. To try to satisfy me he offered to sell me the fridge for 500.00 and give me money back from the other one. I still did not want stainless. I wanted black, so he then told me he would give me the same fridge the floor module that I got the first time for the 500.00. So I talked this over with my husband and we ended up taking the stainless.

    Delivery was to be next day 9/11/16. The drivers came, the stainless refrig was too big to get in door. So while driver's still at my house, I called the store, asked for Denny, was told he was off today. So I spoke to this John ** who sold me the fridge. At first he acted like he knew nothing. I explained what happened. He just plain didn't want to hear it and said "I ain't dealing with this" and transferred me to someone else. So the someone else said he was a manager and his name was Devon. So I spoke to him, explained everything, meantime their driver is still I have these people on speaker phone. Well he said there is no Devon manager at the store so this Devon told me I can have the floor module black one but can't deliver it til next day. So meanwhile I have 8 trash bags of frozen and regular food sitting in my dining room floor.

    I explained this to Devon. He just plain did not want to hear this. He said he cut the price "you can have the floor module." There's nothing else I will do so the driver wanted to talk to him I and my husband both stood and listened the driver said who are you because I don't know manager Devon he said his name is Kevin not Devon. The driver spoke to him, told him everything, and then the driver handed me the phone do to this guy wanted to talk to me. I asked this devon, Kevin whatever his name is for his last name. He refused to give it to me so I go to store. They exchange the paperwork but no one still cares that I have all this food going to waste. A employee told me to call customer care and gave me the number, so I did. When I spoke to a Rhonda she called 7 stores to see if she could get me a fridge but no luck.

    People stay away from Lowe's. I will write every day about this. I cried. It's been a week. I bought a refridge, they sold me a broken one, then offer a used one. I took at my agreement. It won't fit and I get another and no delivery and food is rotting. My old refrig stopped working keeping cold. I have a 8 year old grandchild and my 87 father I care for in my home and now no refrig. Real nice Lowe's. People don't spend your money there. Go to Home Depot or somewhere else. "Managers are not to speak to customers like that and it's not about money - it's about I have no refrig in my home that works. I am calling the better business and filing a report to John ** and this Kevin ** needs fired for speaking to the public like that. I will never walk in to a Lowe's store again and I hope a lot of you public people don't... Stay Away. Take Your Money Elsewhere.

This time I waited for 10 minutes, in a long line, before the manager showed up to discount a potted plant that was on sale. Why don't they give the cashiers a little more authority to fix a price that is obviously wrong. I have complained twice before about this but they refuse to change their policy. I went and complained to the store manager, for the third time in a year about this, and was told that Home Depot has the same policy. Well good for you Lowe's, you are just as good as Home Depot.

    I opened a store credit card at the Bayonne NJ store, (big mistake) because I purchased a new refrigerator. There was a language barrier with the woman that set up the sale with. But, once she found out I was approved with what she said was a high credit limit, she only seemed to care that I give her employee initials at the customer service counter. After getting home, I pulled up the item number online to show my wife and realized this was the wrong item. I had the picture and item number on my cell phone and sure enough she entered the wrong numbers and Lowe's was shipping the wrong item. I drove back to store and was told I couldn't be issued a credit and would have to wait for the delivery because it was already on the truck!

    I asked for a manager, who halfheartedly helped. I was issued a credit but the item I actually wanted wasn't in the store. The Bayonne store manager suggested I try back in a few days. I asked if he could check the systems to see if the Jersey City NJ store had it. They did. I worked with a guy named Kerrick at the Jersey City Lowe's who was helpful and very good at what he does. He held the item and as he said, was waiting for me the next day. The transaction went quick and I had a delivery date.

    The company that delivers and repairs for Lowe's is a 3rd party company with horrible customer service. The delivery guys damaged doors, scratched walls and tile floors. They refused to take the doors off the hinges and actually damaged the refrigerator so bad, that an immediate service call was required to fix it. I wasn't there to take the doors off for them. Lowe's told me the service guys would be there 4 days later to fix the new fridge and would arrive between the hours of 4:30-6:30. They arrived just before 10PM though and realized they couldn't fix the damaged freezer door. They were trying to bend the hinge, to allow the freezer door to open, but realized they couldn't fix the damage the first two delivery guys were responsible for. I called the Jersey City Lowe's store again, after dealing with managers, Maggy and Howard.

    I spoke with a manager named Bruce this time who told me there wasn't even an order in to replace the fridge. The drivers told me they would notify the store and tell them to order one asap. I emailed customer care at Lowe's and spoke to them as well, in addition the store managers. All assured me I would hear from someone within 24 hours. NEVER HAPPENED! It was almost 3 weeks of constant emails, phone calls and lies on the part of Lowe's. No one ever called me back within 24 hours, in fact, I've haven't heard back from Maggy, Howard or Bruce at this writing.

    I received calls from a district manager on 9/2/16 who assured me, the fridge would be delivered early AM 9/3/16. I removed the doors, railings on the stairway and had the outside door ready to be removed by 9am. At 11 am I called 866-881-2228 and spoke to a guy named Jonathan who told me I was scheduled for 1:30-3:30 PM. He could care less about what I told him the Jersey City Lowe's managers told me. The drivers showed up at 7 PM. I had everything removed and ready and the move went good.

    I would not deal with Lowe's in Jersey City NJ again if they offered me 50% because the shipping alone wasted so much time. They even showed up the day after my fridge was declared ruined to take it back. Keep in mind this would have left me without a fridge and that the Jersey City store didn't even order a new one. So, if I allowed them to take it, I would still be waiting on a call back for a store order that was never placed. Lowe's must not pay the employees well because they have no concern for their customers. None of the managers I have dealt with kept their word. None! The third party company also does appliance repairs for them as well as delivery. If you deal with them, do not make plans. The drivers were always running late and despite store manager and customer care involvement I was left waiting again for an entire day for these people. The store didn't care, the 3rd party reps answering the phone didn't care either.

    This was the worst buying experience I ever had or heard about. I sent well over a dozen emails and spoke to people at all levels within Lowe's. In the end, it didn't matter. I wasted days off from work and an entire Saturday waiting for them to correct the damage they did to a brand new item upon delivery. The initial delivery guys said they don't hook up water, the store says they do. The initial delivery guys said they couldn't balance the fridge or slide it again the wall either. The store and receipt say they should. They didn't even attach the plastic toe tap piece at the base of the fridge because the freezer door was out of place.

    I suggest avoiding Lowe's in Jersey City and its third party delivery service at all costs. In fact, I would all together avoid Lowe's. The Bayonne store was going to knowingly deliver the wrong item and make me return to the store again because the fridge was already on the truck. Horrible experience all around. Learn from my experience, please.

    About a month ago we purchased a microwave at Lowe's and had it installed. The sales women was told it would need venting, no problem. Well here it is nearly a month later and it's not vented! We have talked to at least four or five different people. ALL said they look into it and call us back. Not one call back. I think this must be COMPANY POLICY to ignore customer problems they don't want to handle. You'd think at least one person would call back unless this is their company policy.

    We scheduled a measurement for custom blinds for 8/31/2016 between 11 am and 2:00 pm. This appointment was scheduled a week before 8/31/2016, so I arranged to take off from work to be home. After calling the store and speaking with Sherry in the Installation Sales Department three different times after 2:00 pm on 8/31/2016, I was informed that Lowe's had no idea when the contractor would be at our home to measure that day. In addition, Sherry was very rude on the phone, and did not sympathize that I took off from work on 8/31/2016 to be there.

    On the bottom of Lowe's Detail Expectation Sheet it states "For reliable, professional installation service offerings at a great price. Lowe's is your best resource. We contract with experienced and professional independent installers who meet or exceed the highest professional standards in the industry." I have to disagree with that statement. A customer's time is also important, and for Sherry in Installation Sales at the Elizabethtown, KY store to be so uncaring and rude towards resolving a customer issue is unprofessional, inefficient, and unsuitable. Lastly, I informed both the store and the contractor that if they were not here within the hour to not come at all. Instead of trying to resolve the issue at hand, Sherry's only comment was we will refund your money. My family has spent a lot of money with Lowe's, and they may have lost a lifetime customer.

    We went to Lowe's on March 1, 2016 in their Warrington, PA store to supply new equipment and remodel a town house we just purchased in Doylestown, Pa. I am 86 and my husband is 91 so we are no spring chickens and have not done anything like this in our 67 years of marriage... We thought having Lowe's also do the installation would simplify the work and result in a better job. We trusted Lowe's and their sales people and they really TOOK CARE OF US!!

    There were problems from the start. Lowe's contractors left scattered wood and metal trash all over the house and did not remove it till we complained. Much of the work was poorly performed by their sub-contractors and needed redoing. They turned up the heat for themselves and left the windows and front door open at the same time.

    Lowe's inspected the work when the contractor said it was finished and compiled a list of 31 defects that had to be addressed. The contractor made a half-hearted effort to correct the problems. Many defects remained. By that time we were forced to hire a licensed home inspection company costing us an additional $400.00 to inspect the work done by Lowe's. The report sums up all the problems: "It is our opinion the project was poorly managed and executed. There appears to have been limited oversight by Lowe's and the local authorized authority. Considering the items found during our time on site, major concerns as to the safety on the installed items exist. This includes but is not limited to the electrical, cabinets, safety bars. It is recommended at a minimum the shower safety bars installation be confirmed as to meeting manufacturers specification."

    It should be noted that this was a big job and cost $100,000, which had to be paid in full and in advance in order to get the work started. We trusted and believed and were taken advantage of - very, very, sad. After 6 months of constant aggravation and delay the work they say is completed and final walkthrough is September 1, 2016 - this Thursday. It is hard to understand why a nationwide firm of Lowe's standing would jeopardize their reputation with such an episode, especially considering our age. I must add there was one bright spot in all of this - one person - who did not only his job but others jobs as well. Without the help of Brad ** - store manager this would have ended very, very, badly.

    I ordered a washer from Lowe's online store. It took a month to arrive; however, they took payment immediately. Nearly $1000. When the washer arrived it had both a manufacturing defect, which could not have been Lowe's fault, but also shipping and handling damage. The delivery guys chuckled about the ragged busted packaging and noted that "those things slide all over the place in the truck." So when we discovered the leaks and problems, we requested that they come back and pick it up. That was within hours. It took another month for them to come get it. The manager told us "as soon as we have it in the store, we'll credit back the purchase." It took another month AFTER they picked up the defective washer before they gave us our money back.

    In our location, we don't have other businesses that will deliver large appliances. So, we had to order a refrigerator from Lowe's despite the recent horrible experience. We were told it would arrive in about a week or 2. We're into the third week now. They charged us immediately. However, prior to shipment obviously. They have repeatedly told us it will arrive "today", just like they did with the washer. And every time, wrong.

    We ordered carpet from Lowe's approx. 4 weeks before they called to install. The installation was scheduled for 11:00 on a Thursday.

We immediately started working on taking the beds apart and they advised they would leave and call us back. We assumed they would be coming back the same day. When we talked to them, they said they could not get out that day or the following 2 days and could "possibly" get back on Saturday. We had our entire house torn apart with 4 bedrooms worth of furniture out in the living room and other areas. We called Lowe's multiple times as well as the installation service.

    Lowe's customer service was extremely rude and did nothing to assist. They told us they would call us back by a certain time and never called back once - we had to call them to follow-up each time. I am shocked over how horrible this experience was for us.

    I contacted Lowe's to replace 14 storm windows on a screened porch as the windows were about 30 years old. I said that I wanted the same type of window and the same quality. When the salesperson quoted me I told him I expected that it would cost more. He assured me they would be the same type of windows and same quality. The first batch of windows arrived and the salesperson and the original installer had both measured wrong so the windows had to be ordered again-another 3 week delay. The windows are now in.

    The second installer has been fabulous but the windows are very poor quality. The screens are very thin and flimsy and will likely last about a year. The glass is very thin and the windows are nothing close to the quality of the windows I replaced. I was contacted by Lowe's and gave this feedback, heard nothing so called the salesperson today and was told that these are their best quality windows "in this line" and "nobody else has ever given this feedback." I should have gone to Spahn and Rose or somewhere with better quality products and I certainly should have insisted upon seeing an example of the window before I paid for them. I trusted the salesperson that they would be of the same or similar quality.

    As they are all custom made because of the sizing I am stuck with them but very disappointed. I will NOT be doing any more home improvement projects with Lowe's and would never recommend anyone else go through Lowe's either. The windows are cheap and very poor quality. They are not worth what I paid for them. It seems Lowe's sells products of poor quality and then pitches that they are the top of the line. It is all about the sale. Two thumbs way way down. (The one positive was the installer - he was professional, communicated with me about when he would be here, etc., on time, cleaned up, and did a fantastic job.)

The sales commission and the manager were the worst. Months and 50 visits to the store proved a failure. Contractor was obviously paid a kickback. They are dishonest and fraudulent.

    I called Lowe's Home Improvement around two days ago to inform the representative on the phone of the broken soap dispenser lock mechanism on my Bosch dishwasher I purchased from them is under Warranty. After asking me specific information about my purchase, warranty termination, model, as well as an abbreviated disclosure of replacement of parts and labor. WARNING: Before purchasing a major product I suggest you read the terms of your warranty. The limits of liability for installation of defective parts involve unending written exclusions of liability.

    Here's the kicker: Lowe's failed to show up for our agreed upon appointment with a window of 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. I received not only has Lowe's not contacted me nor arrived during window time of 8:00 AM to 12:00 (it is now 1:54 PM) and the "diagnosis technician" has failed to appear as scheduled. I called the home office only to be told they can provide no information of the "diagnostic technician" and was rerouted to a phone number that provided a message. NO OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO A LIVE PERSON, only a recorded message that stated they were on the phone with another customer and that they'd return my call. No return phone call thus far. It is 2:21 PM.

    This is not the first time I have dealt with their incompetence. I ordered a rug that through a series of employee incompetence resulted in my waiting weeks instead of promised days for my delivery of a rug. When rerouted to the "warehouse" I was told by the manager that they were waiting for the delivery of that rug but provided me the opportunity to allow me a flawed rug he had in stock. He guaranteed me it would arrive in days but offered me no discount.

    This is not the first time they have faulted. I received the wrong merchandise than ordered. Couple that with such poor Installation that the installer never bothered to remove plastic covering from the merchandise. Even more astounding? The technician gave me cleaning advice which would have quite possibly damaged the product. They have great merchandise. Just horrible delivery service.

    Everyone from top to bottom should be held responsibility for such negligence. That includes the company itself, Lowe's Home Delivery. Let's put the pressure on them. My opinion? Choose another company other than Lowe's to purchase your merchandise. Their delivery service is reprehensible and ultimately the fault lies with the company itself and its employees. I'm not sure of my order number. I believe it's #** for the Bosch D.W #612561, Wex Dishwasher, Store 1636 Project No. 453307963. That should make my statement claim worthy. Any additional information will be provided confidentially to Consumer Affairs.

    I ordered a simple storm door to be installed by Lowe's and paid for the "custom measurement". The quote was for $187 which involved "custom work of the storm door." I felt that was excessive since I removed the old door (32x80) by just unscrewing it on all sides. Bottom line is, I hired a handyman who installed the new Lowe's storm door @ only $60, it took him less than 2 hours, and CERTAINLY DID NOT REQUIRE ANY CUSTOM WORK. This seems like either a scam or Lowe's is hiring people to measure who do not know what they are doing!!!

Long story short, their technician determined that the water heater needed to be replaced. I decided not to trust another water from them so I requested a refund when I returned the unit. There was no offer for any kind of reimbursement towards the cost of the professional installation and I was told the reimbursement for the extended warranty would be prorated.

    Now, the Lowe's card used to make the purchase has a 0 balance but the only way to get my money back was to put it on the card.

I left a message with their office got a call back and they inform me I have to wait another 10 days before I can get my dishwasher delivered. I feel like a company like Lowe's should have a better turn around time and certainly if they fail to deliver on the specified time that they would make that customer a priority to get taken care of as soon as possible.

    I purchased the washer/dryer set on August 15 2015. I have had balancing problems from day 1. Samsung has been of no help after this recent episode. I went to Lowe's since the washer is still under warranty. First let me explain to you what Lowe's does not when you purchase appliance. If you have a problem and need a service call, they give you a service call number. When you call them, they tell you it takes 3 to 4 days for someone to get back with you to schedule a service call. Then when they get back with you it takes another week for someone to come out and determine if your appliance can be fixed or needs to be replaced.

    Now this gets even better. The service center is not an authorized repair center but contractors hired to come out and have a look at your appliance. If it cannot be repaired they have to submit a letter to in my case Samsung that it cannot be repaired. Then after reviewed Samsung will determine if they will refund you your check which will take an additional 6-8 weeks. Oh and there have been 1220 cases filed on this same washer with Samsung and not one has been resolved or refunded. I spoke with Samsung Rep who is in the Carribean and claims not to know about the complaints. So I go to Lowe's of Rock Hill and explain my issue since my washer is still under warranty and burned up on Sunday during a load of clothes.

    Mike in the appliance department just stood there like a deer in headlights and then needed to call George to see if they could offer me assistance. George the store manager in Rock Hill said if I had bought the Extra Protection plan Lowe's would of exchanged my unit. Sooo. I pay 500 for a washer but to get Lowe's to back the product they sell I have to pay Lowe's an additional fee to do so. And the washer is still for sale on the showroom floor for someone else to have the same problem with. 1200 complaints and Lowe's will not back the customer because I did not pay them additional money to do so. For the 2 other couples that were considering a new washer/dryer set while I was talking with Mike, they walked out the door behind me when I left. If you decline the extra protection you are also not informed that Lowe's will not back your purchase during your warranty period either.

    They are anxious to sell you, but they delivered my product with multiple pieces missing and had no interest in taking the next step in getting the needed parts on site for the contractor to complete. I was forced to make several trips jamming 8 foot posts in a small car, dropping off at other Lowe's locations in order to get the needed posts that the sales rep left off the order...

    What's worse is the attitude of the entire post sale experience.... "Yes, I see an error was made by the sales rep, the delivery etc, but too bad, we will do nothing to assist other than what our policy manual states"... (Obviously not written by a US business owner). Keep in mind this is Pro Services only, and a management issue...

Everything together costed around $26,000, which we placed on our Lowe's card. Lowe's sent their construction workers. They started the job and we became unhappy with the job that they started to do. Also, the building material (wood and window products) were not good in quality. The salesmen never allowed me to choose the windows or the wood for the deck.

I contacted the managers, a couple of them came to my house and agreed that the job was not going well. I asked for my money back and we stopped the project and returned all of the building material back to the Lowe's company.

    The day that we returned everything, the manager told me that everything was going to be removed from my credit card and did not give me any type of receipt and he stated that we did not need a receipt because this was a building project and that our money would be returned to our credit card in a different way. From that day in May of 2015, to now, no one has returned my money to me. I tried to contact the Lowe's managers, the Better Business Bureau, but the store did not want to meet with me. I hired other people to do the job, and I can prove that other companies did the job, and also we took photos of the building material that we returned to the Lowe's company and I have the names of the managers that stated that all my money would be returned to my credit card.

Employees were talking to each other when one is spotted or walking around and as soon as one spot you looking for them, they immediately turn to avoid your direction. When you finally catch one of the representative, he is not knowledgeable where the item is located that had to asked another staff.

    Another store directed me to one aisle that the item didn't exist then went and waited for available one register available assistance and she also directed me to the same aisles again after she called someone where the item is located. I finally found the item myself which is located to the next aisle which none of the representative told me but the items were hardly stock on two of the stores visited until going to the 3rd furthest Lowe's. It is very frustrating and will not go to Lowe's again but will definitely go to Home Depot which is just few miles away from resident.

    I ordered and prepaid for a cabinet through our local Lowe's store. The cabinet did not arrive when it should have and I probably still would be waiting if I had not checked on it. It seems that either the cabinet was lost or never shipped at all from the manufacturer (MASCO Cabinetry LLC). I understand that these things can occur, but what happened after that is what I am upset about. I have been lied to, my time has been wasted, I have made little progress on receiving the cabinet that I prepaid for almost 6 weeks ago and the worst part have not received any type of apology.

    I did a flooring purchase and install agreement with my local Lowe's here in West Columbia S.C. I spent over 12,000.00 to have my entire home floor coverings replaced. Lowe's screwed up the materials order on this job multiple time. Every time I call the store I get a different person in the flooring department so no one knows what's going on. I have had to run back and forth to Lowe's to pick up material that was shorted on the delivery and to exchange materials that were sent wrong. The person who came out to do the initial measurements set 3 different appointments before she actually made it because she had vehicle problems and once she got there she forgot to measure for the glass backsplash in the kitchen and it took another week to get her back out there for that.

    I have never experienced such poor customer service in all of my life. The only thing that was okay was the sub-contractors actually did a nice job. Lowe's installation services is a joke! This job should have taken a week and it is still ongoing after 4 weeks. I'm very disappointed and frustrated with Lowe's. I will never use Lowe's to install anything ever again!

    We went to Lowes to tackle our kitchen remodel in summer 2015. The planning process was smooth and the contractor they recommended did a great job in completing the project. Lowe's completely dropped the ball in customer service/experience after the job was complete. We never received a final walk-through or sign-off that the work was completed to our satisfaction. Our PM didn't place the order properly and we were not enrolled in the 0% financing program that was offered to finance our project.

    As a result, we have been bounced between Lowe's corporate and our local Lowes store for over 6 months to try to resolve the billing issue. Upon receiving an update the last week of May that everything should be in order within 1-2 billing cycles, we received yet another bill with thousands of dollars of interest and fees, not to mention the negative impact on our credit. Lowes has not addressed our issue with any urgency or consideration for our situation. I would NEVER recommend them for any major projects or services as a result. Please do your own research and make an informed decision so that you don't have to deal with the big business that doesn't care about their individual customers.

    If there was a negative star Lowe's would get minus 10! I am beyond frustrated with this company. We have had nothing, but error after error by this company. The absolute worst customer service I have ever dealt with in my entire life and bunch of idiots that must work there because they haven't been able to get one single thing right since day one. We made the mistake of buying everything for our kitchen remodel from them and then the even bigger mistake of hiring them to do our kitchen remodel. The contractor they hired for our remodel was combative, mean and did practically everything wrong including charging us 4 times the original estimate in change orders and then holding our job hostage until we paid his ridiculously high priced change orders.

    We had to fire them and rehire our own contractor to fix absolutely everything they did because most of it was done incorrectly and we would have had major problems down the line if we left their work the way they did it. (Just an example is they were going to charge us $10k minimum for joist work in our kitchen. Our contractor did it for $2300 and did it right.) I am so overly frustrated with this company after 6 months of being without a kitchen and delay after delay due to their unbelievable amount of errors they continue to make and all the wasted money we have spent with them.

    We've waited months for them to re-order cabinets that came broken or missing, just to finally get them and have them ordered wrong a 2nd time. We've waited months for our granite install, only to have them not show up or show up with the granite fabricated incorrectly. I asked them to return some charges that we had to have re-done by our contractor because their contractor did it wrong and had to be torn out and done over and they refuse to refund us and some of the refund was for work that their contractor didn't even complete. I just want to warn anyone even considering ordering anything from them or having them do any type of work on your house to avoid them like the plague! I will never do business with them again, EVER!

Make me wait until they come for a service call, determine what parts they need and find them and then come back and install them! They must think I am an idiot.

    When I decided to purchase windows from Lowe's I did so under the impression that I was paying for quality windows by Pella that would be installed correctly and function as described in my warranty. I walked into Lowe's and bought a new roof, gutters and windows for my home. I wanted a one stop shopping experience along with quality service and I understood that this often comes at a premium. In the summer of 2014 I walked out of Lowe's spending over $35,000 with the expectation that after the job was complete I would be able to enjoy my new roof and windows for many years to come. The reality of my Lowe's experience was far from what was sold to me. The windows were immediately a problem, a window was found to be cracked during installation; one window wouldn't stay open and more than half of my windows were installed noticeably crooked.

    Various Lowe's representatives have visited my home more that 14 times since the initial installation. The windows have been measured at least 6 times and I have met with four different Lowe's contractors. I have had to fight to rectify an installation that left my home exposed to outdoor elements, animals and debris by windows that were too small. I have had to educate myself on window engineering and building science. The weep holes that were caulked over on installation could potentially compromise the structural integrity of my home. I have taken days off from work, rearrange my schedule to have windows evaluated more time than necessary and spent countless hours calling and emailing about my installation. Oh, let's not forget I had to remove a squirrel by hand from an incorrectly sized and poorly installed window. Bottom line I went to Lowe's and paid for a service that was not delivered.

    The warranty does not cover the mower deck - which is pretty flimsy. If you tap a tree it is so thin it will go out of shape and the blades will hit the deck. After banging mine out a wheel fell off when the weldment broke - so I decided to try the warranty service I had paid a great deal for. Not too miffed that they did not cover anything under warranty, but to fix it they wanted 140 bucks labor and instead of the net prices of 354.24 for all the parts, they wanted 543.22 - a parts padding of about 180 bucks. So the 700 buck warranty was useless except as a way to give their repair service a shot at making 320 bucks plus a 35 dollar pickup fee from me over what it will cost me to do it myself in 30 minutes. They wanted 741.47 total plus 35 bucks - it cost me 354.24 to do it myself.

    Makes me wonder if there is ever an engine issue if that too will be non-covered. Mower is under a year old. In favor of the warranty they have a form that will rebate cash for a percent of what you pay for mower blades at Lowe's. Simply be advised that a mower warranty from Lowe's is not going to assure you. Do not have yearly ongoing high maintenance costs on the mower.

    Three years ago, I bought almost a first floor's worth of materials and products from Lowe's. One of the things I bought was a ceiling fan/light for the kitchen. From the start, it used up light bulbs faster than any of the other fixtures, but not annoyingly so. Then all of a sudden started burning them out within two weeks, then burned two at a time out in less than a week. They no longer carry this light, if they had they would have sent a new one they said. Their solution is that I buy a new one from them with a twenty-percent discount because my light did not have the courtesy to totally be a piece of junk within the first year.

    For the record, I was not looking for a free handout -- but a fifty-fifty split would have been decent. The fan is a Harbor Breeze product, which is a Lowe's-owned company, I started with their customer service, they kicked me back to the local Lowe's, and then I called the 800 number. They all seem to agree that losing all of my business forever is better than replacing a fan that obviously has issues. All parties agreed it was a "manufacturing" issue, but since Lowe's is the manufacturer, somewhere along the line, they could have taken more responsibility.

    This is not the first time that I have been disappointed with Lowe's. I ordered a vanity for my bathroom and they sent it damaged. It was obviously a floor model, and the fork truck damaged the bottom in two places, and it was covered in a black gritty dirt that was disgusting. That is one of the many stories. So definitely not the first time I was disappointed, but it will be the last.

    I did my research and bought a GE compact stacked washer dryer. After using it for just a few loads of laundry I was very unhappy. But, I re-read the manual and checked for tips online. It still was a disaster. (The machine would not spin enough water out of the laundry, so it was dripping water when it went into the dryer - how can that meet Energy Star guidelines?) I finally arranged for a service call. The reviews were pretty good for the machine, so I thought maybe it had a problem. When I explained the problem - didn't work with small, large, heavy, light, mixed, sheets, towels, etc. the GE service person said that the machine did not easily handle those types of loads. What else is there? I asked him how I could have known that before I purchased the machine.... He said I couldn't.

    The sales people would not have that information. I wrestled with the problem and finally figured I had nothing to lose going to Lowe's to discuss the problem. I did so, and was given a full credit on the machines. I had once again done research, and hoped this time it was going to turn out better. I ordered a Bosch 500 series compact stacked washer and dryer. Within a couple of weeks the GE set was out and the Bosch set in, and my laundry is now washing, rinsing, AND spinning perfectly load after load - large, small, mixed, heavy, sheets - everything!

    Lowe's customer service was above and beyond what I would have expected. The most I hoped for was a partial refund (though the machines had been used for less than 40 loads of laundry - many test loads!). I am so impressed! Not only was Lowe's customer service and sales staff great, the installers (both times) and delivery and service were outstanding. Polite, helpful, careful, and efficient service all around. Oh, yes, the Bosch is great. I purchased the GE because it sounded very similar (and I have many GE appliances I am very happy with), and the Bosch only sells condensation dryers. I was a little nervous about making that change, but I needn't have worried. It is more energy efficient and does a wonderful job, maybe even a bit more gentle than vented dryers. Thank you Lowe's and Bosch! I guess you know where I'll be doing my appliance and household hardware shopping from now on.

    On June 27, 2015, I purchased what I thought to be top quality carpet (Stainmaster "Petprotect - Baxter III" Carpet) from the Lowe's Store # 2244 in Columbia, MD. From the time that it was installed, I noticed that the tufts were pulling out of the backing. I was told that it was normal for me to have that for a few weeks after it was installed. After 3 months, it continued to happen so I contacted them again. I spoke with Ellen in their Installation department and showed her a quart-size zip-lock bag full of tufts. They sent the installers out, but they said it was a problem with the carpet and they would report back to Lowe's.

    When I did not hear back from them for another month, I went back to the store and Ellen acted as if she did not remember me, until I showed her that she had given me her email address. They said that I would have to bring in a piece of the extra carpet so that they could send it to Shaw Industries, the manufacturer, for testing. After several more weeks, I called again and was told that someone would get back to me that day. That was a month ago. Today, I went back to the store and confronted Ellen. She told me that they got the report back from Shaw Industries and that they found no problem with the carpet. And Ellen said that there was nothing that Lowe's would do either. They recommended that I buy a different vacuum cleaner. I use a Shark-Lift Away Deluxe.

    My issue is that I use the same vacuum on my carpets in the rooms that were not replaced and do not have this problem, and those carpets are 30 years old! I guess that it really is true when you hear "They don't make them like they used to." It is obvious that Lowe's does not care about "Customer Satisfaction" at all. I will probably never go back to the Columbia store (or any other Lowe's for that matter). I think that Lowe's should list their logo as "Let the buyer beware" or take on P.T.

    Recently, two of my recent orders at lowes.com were cancelled, and there was no refund until I called to ask my money back. The first time, I thought they would automatically refund the cancelled order and did not call until I realized that there was no refund a few months later. The second time when the order was cancelled, I repeated ask the representative whether they would refund and got confirmed. But still, there was not any refund till today. I am calling Lowe's customer service while I am writing this review. I have time to write it just because they hung up the phone without saying anything or after only a few words, or keep me waiting for long time by saying "wait a second". While I am not worried about getting my money back, I just hate to call every time to get refund and am afraid that people including me don't get refund if they forget.

    I recently purchased about 1,000 square feet of carpet and laminate flooring from Lowe's. I had to purchase the flooring at 2 separate Lowe's stores because one didn't stock padding - the other store thought that was ridiculous. I had 2 big problems with the laminate order (Pergo max): When I picked up the order, the underlayment was not there. Luckily, I noticed. After an hour of searching, the sales clerk and the flooring clerk stated that they found it and there had been a "computer glitch." Good thing I had an hour to wait - no exaggeration.

    The Pergo molding came with a 1/4" metal C-channel. The channel in the T molding is also 1/4". However, the flooring is about twice as thick. So, the channel is not correct, or the T is not correct. After a discussion with the flooring personnel and the store manager, and looking through a package they had in stock, the only solution offered was to use some of the cardboard packaging under the C-channel. I'm not going to go into technical details of why that won't work, but my flooring installer had a good laugh.

    I expressed my interest in never visiting Lowe's again to the store manager. He nodded his head and just said ok a few times. NO OFFER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I was decent and bit my lip throughout the process, but I'm done being quiet about this now. I will warn as many as possible. This happened at the Kentwood, MI location: 3330 28th Street South East. It happened 6/17/2016 around 10 AM. ** was the flooring clerk. She was nice, but that isn't enough. The store manager should have stepped in and solved the problem.

    I purchased appliances for my home which was just under $5,000. I called my bank to allow the transaction and they increased my daily spending limit for 24 hrs (security reasons). I purchased the appliances and set the delivery date. 4 days before delivery, I received a call from Lowe's dispatch saying my payment was declined. (Evidently, they check again to see if your money is there before they deliver your appliances). He explained this to me and I authorized the purchase, once again, and confirmed the delivery date. Everything was good to go.

    Delivery day came and I took a 1/2 day off of work to ensure I would be there to see them install my appliances. My delivery time was from 2 pm to 6 pm. I waited until 6:30 to call and find out where my appliances are and was told that my payment was once again declined!! Lowe's processes payments the day of delivery and if you have any security measures on your cards, you will not be getting anything that day. No one called me to tell me this or even to tell me that nothing is coming to my home.

    Today is now Thursday and I was scheduled for delivery on Tuesday and still no appliances. Lowe's dispatch can't accept my payment because of a "system issue" and can't process cards at this time. I was told this was my fault because my bank provides me with a spending limit on my card to prevent fraud. AMAZING! I still have no date set and am currently waiting on someone from Lowe's to call me and take my payment. I will never make this mistake again. Finished with Lowe's!

    We purchased a microwave and oven stack at Lowe's only because we got a 10% coupon. It is very difficult to communicate with Lowe's and their 3rd party delivery service, either the system is poorly designed or the person just not trained. Took many phone calls and each had a long wait like 10-15 mins. Then the information doesn't match.

    Final, the delivery date came, and it turned out to be a disaster. We have the old appliance that we have paid for the haul away service. To avoid any difficult, we disconnected it, and moved it out from the slot, put it on a small wood table. We thought it will make the delivery guy's job easy: all he need to do it pick it up and put into the truck. Not the case! The guy claimed the old appliance was close to the granite top, he might hit it. Then he claimed he might drop the appliance to the wood floor and damage the floor (If he is this incapable, how he gets the job to be a delivery guy?) My husband said, "OK, I will move it down to the floor away from the countertop for you." So he did it. While my husband was moving the old appliance down, the delivery guy just went out and drive his truck away!! What kind of delivery service is that?! This will be our final purchase with Lowe's.

    Went to Lowe's in Stow Ohio to order a countertop. Had purchased one prior and wanted them to match. Found the sample and edge we wanted and went to the special order desk. Associate at the desk could not find an order form or the proper product binder. She called a manager. He could not find the binder, and since he could not, stated that Lowe's no longer does business with that particular company. I asked why the samples are still on the wall and he said he "didn't know." I (as the customer should not have been the one to think of this) asked the associate if she could call another Lowe's store to attempt to obtain an order form. She looked to the manager and he said, "Go ahead" and left. She called, said we'd have to wait for a callback. She left the order desk and said she'd be 'right back.' 20 minutes later she returned, still no order form.

    Called the manager back. We asked if they intended to take our order, he said he'd be glad to but that it would be the wrong thing (We had recently purchased a countertop that came in with the incorrect edge. The associate who took THAT order neglected to tell us he ordered the wrong thing.). He said that WE ordered the wrong one before and he'd be happy to get that for us again. WE did make the mistake, though we also did not attempt to return the faulty countertop. He finally got an order form after about 45 minutes. Said the company was closed for the weekend, this was on a Friday and he would get us a quote "next week" when they once again opened. I wondered how he knew the company's hours if Lowe's supposedly no longer did business with them. The manager never attempted to fax the company asking for a quote. That was Friday, June 10. It is Wednesday, June 15 and I have not heard back from the Stow store.

    I placed a call to Corporate on June 13, Monday. I was told by Will, the CSR, that he would file my complaint and someone would get back to me within 24 hours. Still have not heard back from Corporate either. It is clear that Lowe's does not want our business. I have told my contractor (we are working on a large home remodel and had intended to give Lowe's our business, but that's not happening now), told our painter who purchases paint for his business from Lowe's (he said he will no longer go back there after this experience so I can say he no longer purchases from Lowe's), have informed friends and business colleagues. This is deplorable customer service.

    The side story is that we went to Lowe's in Brimfield Ohio on Saturday, June 11 early in the morning. We were able to get a quote for our countertop (the correct one, from the same company that the Stow manager said Lowe's no longer does business with, and further that that particular company did not work on the weekends which turns out to be a lie). We had our quote, early Saturday morning, and it took the associate in Brimfield less than 5 minutes to get the quote by fax. The Stow store associate and manager are NOT aware that I have this quote. Yet they have not been able to deliver on their promise to get me a quote as early as possible on Monday (June 13) nor has Corporate Lowe's been able to deliver on their promise to call me "within 24 hours" to discuss this issue.

    I suspect I am incorrect in thinking that Lowe's actually places any importance on customer service, yet am writing so that you are aware of what is going on in the Lowe's store in Stow Ohio, as well as at the Corporate level where neglect seems to be the order of the day. I would be very interested to know what Lowe's intends to do to earn my trust and business back.

    We were going to purchase our appliances for our new home at Lowe's because we do so much of our shopping there. Our son built a home 1 1/2 yrs ago and bought all their appliances at Lowe's. Now the front of their Whirlpool refrigerator is rusting and their Whirlpool dishwasher will not run because the motor is shot on it. They have tried to get help from Lowe's and Whirlpool and neither will do a thing about it. What happened to customer service? What a disappointment. I do not like writing negative reviews but I hope we can get someone to listen. Appliances are way too expensive to replace every year. And you expect that what the salesperson is telling you is true. Sadly, we will not be buying our appliances at Lowe's. We need someone we can count on.

    For starters. I have learned to look up reviews before any purchase of home appliances. I purchased my Samsung front loader smart washer Feb 2015. I had my first problem with bad motherboard from day one. Large purchase from Lowe's in Pocatello Idaho. I figured they would do me right and fix the problem. On my 3rd month same exact problem. They scheduled me my 2nd service call with Lowe's home advantage same exact issue. Motherboard not connecting and doing all sorts of things on its own, again I could not change settings. Got power only. Then 3-4 months of purchase, again. Same problem. Another service call. This goes on and on for 12 months of ownership. Not to mention the horrible smell filled up entire house no matter what we tried, considering not many uses out of it.

    By month 12, Lowe's home advantage tech swaps out motherboard altogether. Now, not wanting to completely freak out. Figure being nationwide company they would make things right. Not only did my previous washer run for 10 solid years, why would I need to purchase a 5 year plan? Not 2 weeks goes by and I find myself needing ANOTHER service call with Lowe's home advantage, they refused to warranty their workmanship. I was told, "sucks to be you." 17 months. My washer will sometimes start but mostly not. I have few issues and warn all consumers. Keep away from Samsung front loader smart washers, keep away from shoddy inexperienced so called techs, and just stay clear of Lowe's period. The washer plain stinks. Fills your entire home with horrible smell unless you want to keep door open at all times, and ruins your clothing the few times you get to use it. It's a huge over priced hunk of junk.

    Their Lowe's home advantage supervisors will lie to you, they do not follow up on workmanship. Lowe's themselves straight out tells you they will help you. Set the phone on desk. Then walk away. I had to use a second phone to call on another line. This time tells me, sucks to be you, this is why I purchased a 5 year plan! So, is this how they really make money at Lowe's?! I have never been so disgusted in a purchase in my life! $900. On sale you would think you could use this machine at least 12 consecutive months!! Appalling.

    Consumers. Beware! Then I am told that by my 2nd service call they would had replaced the entire machine. But according to them. I never had a service call. I am beyond disgust. Now knowing my business is far from appreciated I need to find $300 minimum to use my washer machine again. Way to go. Lowe's. BBB has never heard of your home appliance department and Samsung considers us consumers to be the little fish in the sea. If anybody wanting open class action I be happy to participate.

    I am so pissed. Living in a very small town Lowe's was a welcome hardware store. I shop there a lot. I went to purchase some stain for my New porch. I wore a yellow shirt for my color. The salesperson said they didn't have that color, they referred me to transparent the lightest one they had. Not knowing anything about stain I purchased it at 45 dollar a gallon. When opening it looked like chocolate milk. I put it on hoping it would dry lighter. But it didn't, it looks dirty like it needs to be cleaned. I asked a painter if I could put another coat of something else to fix it. He said no that it was sealed. That I should have used a solid stain and the person should have known.

    At this point I hate Lowe's. The salespeople need to be trained. How can I fix this? I am mad and disappointed. And on top of that I gave out at the very end and had to go back to purchase a small amount to finish. They didn't have a quart. So they sold me a quart and tried to match it but when I opened it, it was gray. When returning a extra brush and purchasing the quart I didn't get my original receipt.

    LOWE'S HOME CENTERS, LLC Store #0751 100 WATSON DRIVE, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08012. I went to the Lowe's Store mentioned above. I needed a 30 gal leaf/ lawn chute. The employees could not find the product although it said it was in stock. I waited 30 minutes and had to leave to be somewhere. I ordered the product online to pick up in store. I received an email Sunday, June 5th saying that my order was ready for pickup. I drove to the Lowe's store the following day, Monday, June 6th. I was told my order was not at the front and they could not find it. I waited 25 minutes. I then spoke to an employee, ** about how upset I was that the conscience of ordering online for pickup is to be in and out of the store. She ignored me and acted like it was no big deal and oh well they couldn't find it attitude. I was completely disgusted and asked for a manager. The manager did get my order and took care of my order.

    I called Lowe's customer service and explained how I was upset that my order was not ready when I went in, as my email stated and the employee ** was the most awful employee there. I have never been treated like that at any establishment. I think the employees need to be better trained there. I will never be going back to this Lowe's.

    We ordered an 8 ft. fence, wood on wood, with Electric gate from LOWE'S. The sales guy was very conservative and promised installation 3 weeks after order. Of course, this happened after he had been to our place a couple of times to measure and dimension the material. There was a little contact after we placed the order until we noticed we were not informed of an installation date. The sales guy did not give any date so we started escalating. I went to the store, spoke to a service manager, nothing happened. Received the Lowe's card invoice so I called the customer care and complained about why would I start paying on something we have not yet received.

    Got a call from a dispute lady who was looking for facts. She promised I'll receive a call within 24 hours. This in fact happened and a service manager called me and listened to my complaint, then briefed me on the way forward that the contracted company should contact me the same day to let me know when they can be here. He mentioned the permit was not ready. (4 weeks after the order was placed!!!) The contracted company called me the second day and gave me an installation date two and a half weeks later, putting the blame on the permit processing time (by the city of Plano). Answering my question on when the permit was submitted, she said Monday this week!!!

    So basically, this Lowe's company, books the order, order the material. After the material arrives, then they start looking for contractor. Once they have one, the contractor applies for a permit. Once, the permit is in hand, then they schedule delivery and installation. Lowe's need definitely to implement some basic project management principles for planning and using milestones. Do I recommend this Lowe's to my friends: DEFINITELY NOT. Why did we order from Lowe's? Because of the 18 months interest-free financing and because I've had their credit card since 12 or 13 years.

    UPDATED ON 06/28/2016: This is related to my previous complaint listed below regarding an 8 ft high wooden fence material and installation as well as an electric gate, in addition to a metal fence installation to separate the pool area. Total of around 16K. After a lot of trouble trying to know when the installation service is going to happen and calling Lowe's multiple times, the installation contractor Triple C stopped answering my calls. Perhaps they never answer their phone at all. I felt as we need to beg to get the services started and completed. Finally we got the installation crew yesterday (almost 7 weeks after placing the order). They completed the removal of the old fence and started placing the new metal poles.

    It showed up that Triple C, the Lowe's contractor don't self-perform but gives the work to subcontractors. The crew that came was totally under-dimensioned; basically it was the owner – lead, and two workers. They did long work hours yesterday and they have not shown up today yet!!! In addition, the same crew brought the electric gate motor and all fittings and asked for a safe place to store them!! Then I asked about who's going to connect the motor and the subcontractor stated it's not his job. Lowe's stated it's not their responsibility either!!! I have not started checking the quality, which seems to be mediocre. Just as a little start, the poles are not installed at the same height!! I'll be meeting a manager at Lowe's later today but my advice to all of you is to NEVER BUY ANY SERVICE PROJECT FROM LOWE'S BECAUSE:

    The Lowe's people don't know what they're selling. The Lowe's people do not understand contracts and contents and milestones. The Lowe's people do not respect commitments. The whole chain of Lowe's contracting is missing basic elements. What are the inclusions and exclusions? What are the milestones and start and completion dates, etc. I suspect we'll have major quality issues. All promises were given to have all install done in 2 days. I cannot see this happening. Actually, I could foresee when the order was placed that this could not be accomplished in two days. The total project value is already billed to the card!!!

    I was warned to save my money but purchased an extended warranty on a new power washer. Had only used twice and it quit working. Their diagnosis was trash in carb which was understandable. The outrageous part is the charges for doing relative simple job of cleaning the carb - $86.00!!! The guy who usually works on my outdoor equipment estimates he would have charged no more than $35.
