Lowes Complaints Continued... (Page 15)

I am a retired veteran who served my country for over 30 years. The service in which I received from your Lowes store in Rocky Mount was horrific.
I ordered some appliances for delivery on June 30, 2018. John from the delivery department called and informed me that it was more than likely I would not receive my appliances on the date which was promised. He told me that he would call me back before his shift ended. I received a call from Kate who identified herself as the Assistant Store Manager (Her customer service skills were horrific). After speaking with her and explaining that I was disabled along with having an ederly person in my whom didn't seem to phase her regarding my concerns. Even after been disconnected on the phone on three occasions, I awaited for Kate to give me a return call; no such luck. I eventually told her I wanted to speak with the Store Manager and she told me that she was unavailabe. I informed her that I wanted the 800 number to the corporate office and she infomed me that the only thing the corporate office would do would forward my complaint to her for resolution. Upon my arrival at the store, the customer service staff was professional and courteous and even apologize for my inconvenience. Kate; eventually went to the office and got Larry, another manager even after I asked to speak with the store manager. Larry's customer service was just as worse as Kate; and he even exhibited signs of racism. He didn't greet me, nor was he friendly, he even wanted to stand and argue with me. He eventually directed me to the appliance center to meet with a service representative. At some point, Ana, the Store Manager arrived, introduced herself and wanted to get details regarding my issue. She was so professional and courteous. Why is it that when Ana asked Larry to get my number, instead of addressing me; he asked the store manager what my number was. I have recently moved to the area and I hav been going to Lowes for all of my home good needs; but after my experience with Kate and Larry, I'm fearful about going into the Lowes in Rocky Mount. I should never have been inconveninced and at the least, I should have been given a discount for the inconvenience and the way I was mistreated by Kate and Larry.

Came in store on Tuesday morning to get paint. The man in paint dept. was visiting with a man in a wheelchair for over 30 min.Tried to ask a question and was ignored. I went and found my paint went to counter. the two men stopped talking. When it was my turn the man asked what color I wanted paint told him I wanted the Olymic paint white. He mad a very upset sound picked up the 2 gallons of paint and walked away and put my paint back on the shelves in back;without saying a word to me. The woman beside me and I just looked at each other. And she said what just happened?! I went back to were he was at as he was walking back and asked him what he was doing with my paint and why. He said that paint couldn't be mixed white and walked away without giving me another choice or helping me with anything else. Another associate came by and asked me what happened and I told him. He said"i am sorry but we are short handed and are busy." then I said I work at Sam's and am aware of being short handed but that ,that was no reason to treat people like that . I got the remaining of my items from the paint dept. on my own and left. Very Angry !!!! This isn't the first time I have trouble while shopping at this Lowe's and I am not alone;there are a lot of people that are very upset about this store and mangers do not seem to care!!! The associate was a man about 40, greying hair, and of small build. Never did see a name badge.

cabinet installations received cabinets June 12 2018 will not start installation until July 16 2018 cabinets outside under carport I covered with tarp seems to me Lowes needs more contractors to cover jobs or they should not take on jobs that let people wait for service that they paid for my concern is cabinets outside with moisture and heat for a month is not good I will not use Lowes in the future I know there's nothing I can do about it but spending over 17000 dollars you would expect better service from a corporation large as it is

Bought a Frigidaire refrigerator on 3/31/18, worked about 3 months, contacted Frigidaire, repairman sent out last week, diagnosed problem, still waiting on parts 1 week later. Contacted Lowe's since this is where I purchased it, referred back to manufacturer. Lowe's doesn't stand behind products they sell.

I purchased on internet/Lowe's website order # 351587205. One item #20776 fan/ceiling fan is what I have a complaint about....When I opened the box it appeared that this product was RETURNED FROM A PREVIOUS CONSUMER. I bought a USED PRODUCT from Lowe's that was suppose to be a brand new item. (THIS IS FRAUDULENT) I am appalled that a store would do this..... Not to mention this fan was scheduled to be installed and I had to cancel because your error. I've contacted your West Bridgewater MA store and informed them I will be returning the item on 6/25/18. I expect to be reimbursed for the product in full. I also want to be compensated for the grief I've been through with this whole process. Someone is responsible for restocking a returned item and Lowe's selling it as new. I will contact the proper authorities and let them know what your Lowe's store did to a consumer.

I'd appreciate a response,
Carol Barthelemy

I ordered a new Entrance Door with side glass back around March 22 from Lowes. An installation person came out, took the measurements and submitted them back to the store for the door to be ordered. One month later the installers came to install the door. Being good installers they rechecked the measurements prior to the install. They found that the manufacturer made the door incorrectly. The dimensions given to the manufacturer were correct, but the door was made wrong. The installer contacted Lowes and gave them all the information. The installer said your all set, they are re-ordering the door for you. I contacted Lowes the next day just as a follow up. They said there is nothing we can do until we receive the old door, which I did not know until I made the call. Three days later, the door was picked up. Lowes called me once the door was picked up and said we have ordered a new door based on the information we received from the installer. Four days later, I was contacted by the salesperson, who told me they cannot order a new door without giving them my credit card number so they can cancel the old door on my credit card and re-order the new door. So already we lost an entire week. I contacted Customer Service to see if the door can be expedited since it was the manufacturers fault for making the door wrong in the first place. They said I have to contact the salesperson and they will contact the manufacturer. The salesperson said the door cannot be expedited and it would take longer to make. The door came in on Monday, June 18. The salesperson called and left me a message telling me the door is in and I should be contacted by the installer within 48 hours. Five days later, I contacted Lowes Installation Department and they told me that a work order was never generated. They said they were sorry and I should receive a phone call by next Tuesday. You got to be kidding? Here is my problem, I purchased $2000 worth of flooring back when I bought the door. I cannot install the flooring until the front door gets installed. I have purchased power tools, moldings and other equipment to get this done. I travel 30 minutes out of my way to go to this Lowes. I have (2) Home Depot's within 7 minutes of my house and a brand new Menards getting ready to open within 5 minutes. I chose Lowes from a recommendation. Just to let you know, Lowes has some of the friendliest staff at there stores, but once the sale is complete, the only thing you hear is crickets. Also, Customer Service should be there to help the customer solve problems and find answers to there questions. What Lowes store Customer Service does is turn you over to another department, not answer the phone, or just hang up on you. We plan on closing our Lowes account once this door gets installed.

I went to Lowes to purchase all new appliances. Not a single person offered to help. I walked around, found what I needed and then approached the sales rep in order to purchase my order. I was told to wait and ended up not being helped for over 30 minutes. Once I was helped, he kept walking away during our transaction to talk to his co-workers. Once I finally got his attention, I gave him all of my at home measurements and asked him to go through my purchases to make sure it all would fit. He agreed it would. After going through this long process, I was told that they would all be shipped and sent out two weeks from the purchase date and would arrive the same day. After spending over two hours in the store with very unpleasant people, I ended up spending over $3,000 on my new appliances. On the day of delivery, they forgot to call me to give me my delivery window time so I had to call and wait on hold in order for someone to give me a time. I took off work in order to receive the appliances on the Monday of the initial delivery date. Not only were the delivery drivers three hours late, but they also called to tell me that they had dropped my fridge and were going to get me a new fridge the following day. I had to beg them to still drop off my other appliances that first day even without the fridge because I had already had someone coming to install. They dropped everything off and told me again that they would deliver my new (not damaged) fridge the following day. I asked and was told that they would deliver first thing in the morning so I did not miss work again due to their mistake. That day, I went along with my inital plan to install the items that were delivered and it turned out the microwave did not fit. I called to make sure they had the model I needed and then I went back to Lowes that day to return it and was given my money back on a Lowes store card. When I went to go buy the model, it was not available in store or online. I went back to return the instore card to get cash to go to a different hardware store and was told I could not do so. In store cards are only allowed to be used in store and on specific items. So now I have $280 of Lowes credit and no microwave. On Tuesday morning, I waited for my fridge while spending the majority of the morning on hold with Lowes when they again were late to deliver. I was told my name was not on the list, that they were unaware I had not received my fridge and that the two delivery drivers from the following night no longer work there. The manager basically told me the damaged fridge I had ordered and was not delivered to me had been stolen from the delivery men. The manager apologized said he would look into the situation and get back to me. After six hours, I called him to check in and he had decided he would find me a fridge and it would be delivered the next morning first thing.I made him promise because I did not want to have to miss work yet another day. I even went into the store and was told the fridge would be picked up from another Lowes location and delivered to me on Wednesday morning. Come Wednesday morning, there was still no delivery call or fridge. They had messed up yet again. After calling non-stop and being hung up on twice by customer service, I was told again that I was not on the list. When I asked to speak to the manager that had helped me the other day, I was told he was off for the next week. A new person began investigating my fridge situation and then explained to me that there was a miscommunication and that again they had "dropped the ball." He began stating that he would find a fridge and get it to me that night. When my fridge finally arrived, it was delivered three days late, by two extremely rude delivery men who not only completely ignored me but bumped my walls and left trash. Three days of work were missed due to their incompetency.
Bottom line, no one cares at lowes and I would never purchase a single thing from them again.

Employee in flooring dept Rude.. Trisha!!!!! Kingsland Ga.

ordered a garage door installed 4/28n supposed to be done 5/23 still weighting, no answers from lowes, salesman's email doesn't
exist, no calls returned

On 5/25/2018 I purchased 2 solar Deck Lights, 2 Fabreze Aerosols, 1 Air Wick & 2 Mold Control for a total of $58.30. At the bottom of the receipt was an "offer" to come back May31-June 3 and 'GET $10 OFF YOUR IN-STORE $50 PRODUCT PURCHASE (BEFORE TAXES). Today, June 2, I returned to the same store and purchased some hardware items, 2 items from the garden department, and another Mold Control. The total was in excess of $64. I handed the 5/25 receipt to the cashier and drew his attention to the "offer" statement. He was unfamiliar with the "offer", scanned the bar code on the bottom of the receipt and the total did not change He contacted his Supervisor who came to the check-out and explained the situation. The Supervisor was also unfamiliar with the "offer" and rescanned the receipt with the same no discount result. The Supervisor studied the receipt and the items purchased today and advised me that because I purchased the Mold Control on 5/25, it was not eligible for a discount today. I reread the "offer" statement on the 5/25 receipt and could not see such a statement in the "EXCLUDES" paragraph. My protest was ignored and since a number of irritated customers were lined up behind, I said "sorry", not going to complete the transaction. I have been a Lowe's customer for many years and find this appalling. Home Depot is across the street and I complete my purchase there and will be doing the same in the future.

First of all you probably will not see or read this so it is probably a waist or war bonds but if I make my complaint know to enough people then maybe some other older couple will not end up in the same boat.

On May 22, 2018, I purchased $5041.29 in hardwood flooring for my home and paid the $65.00 for home delivery, ( I figured that home delivery meant delivery to my home inside) well this morning, June the 1st, I received my order, it was left in my drive way and I was told that if I wanted it in the house it would be $2.00 per box and there are 67 boxes, I am 68 years old and my husband is 76 there is no way we could carry 67, 45 lb. boxes from my driveway into the house, we were lucky we had a friend that came and helped us, this is something that we should have been told from the get go and not surprised with also I feel that if you pay for home delivery that means in your home not your driveway. Also, 3 boxes were damaged by the fork lift, I was told that they would take care of it right away, 3 hours later I am still waiting. I am so upset over everything that I have full intentions of letting everyone I know about this situation, if you can not pick it up it doesn't pay to have it delivered, buy it some where else and verify what they mean by home delivery.

On Friday, May 11..After my lowes new gas stove was installed I needed to go to the cellar where I then smelled gas. Immediately I called lowes at the waterfront, Munhall pa. to ask them to have the installers return to fix the problem. Your main number folks had no idea what to do or how to contact the installers. I spoke to at least 6 different people at the main number. One told me to shut off the main gas line to the house then several putting me on hold to hanging up on me. Finally after repeated phone calls over an hour someone did connect me to the right number. Installers were great...they returned and tightened up the gas valve. Bottom line your front desk people are not well trained. This could have been a catistropic event had I walked out of my house for the afternoon! I can be reached at 412-414-3521.

On 5/10/2018, I visited the Lowes store located in Brooklyn Ohio. Arrived at 8:30 pm and proceeded to shop until close- purchased material and items in excess of $975.00. At the register, following the cashier's ringing of the items, I asked her to look up my accounts (2) using my id and phone number. It took the cashier over 20 minutes to pull up my account because of the shut down of all of the registers- moreover, she and the manager were only able to pull out one of my accounts, but not the other account that I wanted to use in an effort to apply the promotion of 6 months same as cash. So after 2 hrs , I was not able to purchase the items using my preferred account- I have waisted 2 hours of my time along with having to pay my 2 helpers for assistance with the shopping.
My company of 55 rentals have mainly done business with Home Depot- and I started to shift to Lowes in the past a couple of months given my past experience when I constructed my home. I am deeply disappointed with the service and begs me to ask- why did I waist my time. What even more disappointing, no one even tried to resolve the issue when I decided to return all of the items. Perhaps, the registers should remain open until your last cutomer cashs out. Thank you. Joe Khadige- 216-310-3445.

On February 28, 2018 I ordered carpeting for my living room. The carpet was delivered and installed in a timely manner, however, the installers noticed and pointed out a visible defect in the product. They then sent someone over to take photos and agreed that it needed to be replace. Fearful that the defect would appear again if I re ordered the same product, I returned to the store in early March and ordered a different carpet that was the same price. I waited to hear back about delivery and when that never happened, I found out they had no record of my order. I then went back and re ordered the new carpet. Well it is now May and still no word. My husband and I returned to the store on Saturday April 28 and spoke with Jennifer- a manager. She assured us we would hear from the installers on Monday April 30th. No surprise that we have not heard. Jennifer and others at the Commack store have not been helpful and we need to resolve this asap. My entire living room has been taken apart for over two months now. This is unacceptable. I will be waiting for your response to resolve this matter.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! I went to the Lowe's in Marshall, TX today for potting mix and fertilizer. Another customer helped me to get the bag of potting mix on my cart. I had to wrangle the fertilizer myself. When I got to the check out, I had to ask twice for the cashier to call for help to carry my purchases out & load in my truck. When/if she called, nobody ever showed up to help. I saw no less than 15 employees standing around chatting. I've worked in customer service long enough to know that the customer always comes first. I don't care if your assigned task is to clean toilets, if a customer needs assistance, you take care of your customer first. Everybody needs to realize that if you run off all your customers, you may work yourself out of a job. I don't know if all Lowe's stores are like this, but this is a habitual problem at the Marshall, TX store.

Also, there are two check out stands in the garden department, but normally only one is open. Usually the check out line is at least 6 or 7 deep. This is not acceptable! I and other customers have laid our potential purchases on the shelf and walked out. You may not be concerned about taking care of your customers, but I'm willing to bet that you don't like the idea of lost revenue.

Although this is the most convenient location for me, I WILL take my business elsewhere if the situation doesn't improve and I will also share my poor Lowe's experiences with other potential customers.

Hopefully This concern will be directed to a person in authority who can work to correct the lack of customer service at the Marshall, TX location.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My husband and I are doing a remodel. We have spent a lot of money at the North Attleboro Lowes over the years. 8 years ago we built a sunroom and bought all our Pella windows there. Tim who worked in that department at that was wonderful and helpful. We noticed the quality of customer service over the last few years has declined drastically. Good luck finding anyone willing or capable of helping. We were there this past week wanting to order a patio French door and a custom window. There was a women at the desk in that department keying in tickets. My husband and I stood there for over 5 minutes. Finally I asked her if there was anyone that could help us. She said she didn't work in that department and there was no one around or available that did work in that department.. But there she was ignoring us, never once engaging with us. It was obvious we were looking for assistance. I went to the customer service desk to complain about our lack of service. I asked the girl to have a store manager contact me. He/she never did! So we went to Home Depot where their customer service guy in windows and doors was knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered a window and French door on the spot, over a $2000.00 purchase. WE also ordered a stove at Lowes last week. It was delivered today 4/21. It was the floor model which we did not order. We paid full price and we expected a boxed brand new stove! To make matters worse one of the knobs for the burner was broken. WE are beyond disappointed. This is an inexcusable way to treat a loyal customer. Lowes is not the same dependable store we once shopped at. We have no choice but to take our business down the road to Home Depot. If you check our account you will see we were regular customers, but not anymore. We are so disappointed! It would be nice if someone responds to this situation. I would hate to think corporate is as uncaring or irresponsible as the store managers and employees.

The Lowes store in Murphy N.C. I ordered an overhead door to be pick up at the store May 2. Before that dated I gets a call from Garage Works that the garage door that I ordered from Lowes was ready to be delivered by Garage works. I had absolutely no idea to who this was calling so I calls Lowes and was told that it was to be at the store for pick up May 2. Gets another call to deliver the garage door to us from Garage Works to deliver it or they send it back told them deliver it to us and it was delivered. By the way very nice guy that delivered it very careful with handling the garage door. With that outfit in Murphy your store I would not be surprised to get a call May 2 that it is in for pick up. Here is the latest with that Lowes store I ordered a Roper washing machine that was on sale with free delivery on Tuesday April 17 it was to be delivered to me in Robbinsville on the 19th. I had hired someone to put it in and waited all day for a call from Lowes to when they would be here. It came 5 o'clock no washing machine let alone a phone call. Called Lowes got ahold of a manager I guess he was told that they deliver until 9o'clock nothing. Called Lowes this morning they are full of deliveries for today, so Saturday it is supposed to be delivered believe it when I see it. I do not think that this is called good business in satisfying your customers this one surely is not. I certainly will give it a lot of thought in dealing with Lowes in the future. I hope that someone has a good day!

Deceptive Advertising !
You say 20% off Kobolt items for Black Friday Sale. My complaint is with landscape rake #863584 but don't have any of them within 200 miles of my location but do have an identicle looking # 616351 for more than advertised item. On web-site you use same description and what could even be same picture ! Now I would say closest store was out but checked multiple stores in southern and central california and none has the listed item. So I must assume you/they never had any of the items available to us locally so I'm cosidering referring this matter to the district attorney office to look into it.

Note: I spent time talking with manager as well as customer service agent and they could only say item #s don't match and/or unavailible to ship or sale in our area as vender was out of stock. I have seen other companies try similar ruses and end up costing themselves $$$ in my area so I guess will wait and see. As for me I can always shop with others for best pricing - services and will still shop you as you are closest to one of my locations but Home Depot is only down the street as you guys usally are . It would have made more since to just not advertise this or offered to discount new item in place of this. I'm in business and know a bad reveiw can go a long way and $5-10 is not going to mean your selling at a loss. " Building Contractor"

Lowes' : Waynesville, nc and Murphy, NC respectively.
Remodeling home and went to Lowe's for supplies. The Murphy Lowe's employees told me that 5 gallon buckets of sheetrock mud was not sold at Lowe's anymore. We then went to flooring and picked out Pergo flooring we wanted but it wasn't in stock. When asked if it could be orders we waited on help, which eventually arrived, but no one could figure out how to order what we wanted and couldn't tell us when it would arrive! Attributing it to that Lowe's we went to Waynesville,NC. We found the sheetrock mud and ordered the flooring. We were told to pick up flooring today (4/12/18). Upon arriving we found that our flooring was not here and they didn't have an arrival time. The clerk was rude and I'm fed up. I've spent several thousand dollars on my remodel and can't seem to get solid service. We drove over an hour to pick up flooring that was supposed to be ready for pick up. I feel we are owed compensation. This was not my error, it was lowes.

visited lowes 8050 west Oakland park blv on the 2/21/2018 items have not yet shipped to my address in Freeport grand Bahama,bahamas the address for lowes is 8050 west Oakland park blvd sunrise,fl 33351(ft Lauderdale) my contact # is 242 7271342 our work men are being held up as we are renovating our kitchen this is outrageous and frustrating who is going to pay compensation? to our contractor/

Purchased Washer/Dryer/Stove and Refrigerator on March 3rd, 2018 from the Lowes 106 Wilkes Lane, Hampstead NC. The Refrigerator and Stove were Whirlpool Brand and the refrigerator had to be ordered because they did not have a stainless steel one in stock. We were told that the refrigerator would be here no later than March 28th because we needed it before Easter. We received a call on Wednesday March 28th and said that it should be delivered to the Lowe's store on March 29th and they would deliver it on Saturday March 31st. My wife call today, March 30th to make sure everything was still on go for Saturday and she was told that the refrigerator did not come in and it would be at least 7-10 more days before it arrived and they could deliver it. My wife and I decided to cancel the order and to go elsewhere to purchase the refrigerator. I called the store and spoke to the Manager (Kenny) and expressed to him what had happened and he said that he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. I was not asking for any favors, but i felt like he would have said to come by the store and if I found something else that I like he would give me a 5-10% discount for my troubles. I am not asking for any discounts because I was paying the regular price for the one I ordered, but this just goes to show you that the Big Box stores only care about sales, no customer service after the fact. My plans are to have them come and pick up the Washer/Dryer and stove that they have already dropped off. I do not want to do business with companies like that, but on the other hand I wanted to buy from the local community.

On March 11, 2018 I purchased a patio Gazebo, item number 875051.It was to be delivered to the job site on March 25, 2018. I called twice to verify the delivery date because I wanted to make sure of the delivery on a Sunday and to be reassured of it's arrival. I scheduled with my customer to construct a concrete slab to mount this unit on and a total price for the coast of the Gazebo, material, construction a a concrete slab and total cost including the labor. My customer was satisfied with my service and price. My customer paid me in full for the work that has been done and the cost of the Gazebo. On the morning of March 25, 2018, your store called me and stated that they would not be delivering the Gazebo!!! The reason given was that they were out of stock. After several phone calls, a person, who was suppose to be the store manager, stated that there is nothing that he could do to help me with my problem that LOWE'S created!!!! My customer want their Gazebo installed as agreed or all of their payment returned!!! Why did it take 2 weeks for Lowe's to tell me that you did NOT have the Gazebo that my customer wanted and I paid for in advance???!!! I even asked the so called store manager to sell me his floor model and he told me it would be " to much trouble to dis-assemble it ". I am out $5,800. for my expenses to preform this service to my customer and it is " to much trouble " for Lowe's to help me solve a BIG PROBLEM that Lowe's created!!! You people do NOT want to help your customers!! " it is to much trouble" to fix a problem Lowe's is responsible for!!! Chuck Porter 713 898 0168

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing very UPSET of my Samsung refrigerator icemaker installation. I purchased my product to be delivered on February 25, 2018 between the hours of 3-5 p.m., the installers came at 10:32 a.m. I was not home, therefore they returned the refrigerator to the store. When I got home before 3 p.m., there was a note stating they tried to call me because they were not supposed to come out that late on Sunday, but remember Lowes are the ones who set up the appointment. I called them and Shane one of your store managers told me they could not come back out the same day because they had no one to bring it back out. I told him I had medications that had to be refrigerated that is why I set the appointment time for them to the deliver. After everything said and done my refrigerator was delivered by Ryan one of the delivery guys with the icemaker but installment was not completed due to the clamp to connect the water line. I was told to come the store the following day in Evans, Georgia (706-868-4112) to pick up the part. The installation was supposed to be completed by Lowe’s. The clamp was connected improperly, and the water line has been leaking underneath my sink. I called the store and spoke with Christina notifying them of the problem and she told me one of the appliance manager were on their way to my home to access the problem and she set another appointment on March 7, 2018. She also told me there was a conversation held earlier that day about my concern. But, as of this day March 17, 2018 no one has come to assist me or even called. Please also note, when the refrigerator was delivered it was dented on the right side and Ryan told me he would give me a $50.00 credit which I have not seen on my credit card.

I have water damage under my sink and the problem is still HERE.

Placed an order on line and requested that it be delivered. Called the store 4 times to find out when the order would be delivered. Each time I was put on hold by the order department for a extended amount of time (30 min +) and never got any information about my delivery. Tried calling and talking to the store operator and got the same treatment. If I could get someone to talk to I would cancel the order.
