NO ONE IS EVER AVAILABLE TO CHECK ON STORE ITEM ON THE PHONE---PUT ON HOLD--RINGS AND RINGS ONLY TO COME BACK TO OPERATOR AND REPEAT THE CYCLE. WHY CANNOT SOMEONE PICK UP THE PHONE AND FIND SOMEBODY. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO MANAGER AND SHE SAID SHE WAS HELPING OUT AT THE REGISTER AND COULD NOT HELP ME AT THAT TIME. SHE WOULD TAKE A NUMBER AND CALL ME BACK LATER---NOT ACCEPTABLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS STORE???????????I LOVE TO SHOP AT MY LOCAL LOWES BUT THE ATTITUDE SUCKS!!! MAYBE SOME UNDERCOVER SHOPPING BY MANAGEMENT WOULD REVEAL THE SEVERITY OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BEING GIVEN AT YOUR STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will NEVER purchase another major appliance from Lowe's again. Everyone was all smiles when we purchased a new hot water heat, washer and dryer in one day. That's where customer service ended and the problematic and often rude service and delivery with install began.
First we were charged install on the water heater to include an expansion tank clearly on the receipt. When the water heater was installed there wasn't any. I called and the service person was rude saying we needed to purchase one. Our salesman said it was supplied by the plumbers (installers). I said it certainly was included and paid for clearly on the receipt. He said he would call me back after he checked and when he did I was told the installers said there wasn't room for an expansion tank so a release valve was put on instead. Here's where the bull began. Release valves are standard with any water heater as I told the service person. This person started getting rude and demeaning saying we needed to purchase one from the store. I once again told him it is on the receipt, the salesman said Lowes did not sell expansion tanks that it came with the installers. I said once again when he denied us we were charged by the salesperson and told it was to be installed. He then said our county didn't require one and that’s why none was installed! I had to tell him we paid for one and want it or a refund. He said he would call back. Shortly after the plumber installers showed up and put the expansion tank on. That’s the first fishy story of this whole mess.
Problems were only beginning. After a week I got a call and was told the washer and dryer were to be delivered. I was told by the salesperson that we had to pay $35 extra over the $110 installation fee because this was gas to have an inspector check out the gas hookup and he would disconnect and reconnect the gas line and check it and I would get a call from him when the washer and dryer was delivered so the installers could remove and replace the machines. When the washer and dryer were delivered no one knew anything about this. No one called up until the next day when I had to call install sales again. This person was very rude and acted like he knew nothing about this. Again I had to explain the sale to him as told to my wife and me by the salesperson. He knew nothing of any inspector or inspection. Then the salesperson that sold us all of the above called and said the $35 was never paid that the checkout didn't add that and if I didn't come over and pay it he would get stuck with it. Soon after the installers showed up and put in the new washer and dryer. There wasn't any inspection. When they left the washer did not take in any water. I knew the water valves were in the on position. The washer and dryer were positioned in a way that I could not access the shutoff valves and only my wife could so they also need to be moved. My wife was very upset returning home from work and called and had to get a manager who questioned her about the water shutoff then said we would get a call the next day. This manager was quite a bit shocked that we were getting charged $35 for an inspection above the install cost and said no such charge was to be paid. By this time we have a lot of laundry to do with a load sitting in the washing machine.
Today I get a call from the same salesperson again asking what the problem is this time. He said he would send somebody out. I then asked why I owed $35 for an inspector that was never here. He tried telling me it was $110 install and $35 for an inspection. I again questioned where was an inspector it was hooked up by the installers that he said wouldn’t be done. He gave me a lot of double talk about this added fee. Finally he said “well don’t pay it then if you don’t want” very nastily. I finally said that this seems like I am getting scammed here with a bogus charge and said I refuse to pay it anyway. Something is not quite right with that and should be investigated because I am guessing I am not the only one this has happened to. Late this morning I still had no idea when someone is coming out to fix or replace this washer and had to call back again. Again I got the run around and had again several rude people to deal with like this was my fault. Well you know what it is for dealing with Lowes. This type of customer service is totally unacceptable when spending that type of many. There can be a few hiccups, but this many and then to deal with rude people is beyond anything. The installers made some mistakes, but at least they were courteous.
So not just one but two instances we were charged for items and services conveniently ignored which seems very suspicious. How many times are others charged for extras that are nonexistent? Is this a common practice with Lowes? Then to have such a disorganized and incompetency from sales to installation is appalling. I was the customer. I paid for Lowes to take responsibility for delivery and installation. I should not have to continually call to orchestrate everything and monitor what should be a reputable store. What a mess.
Billings, Montana Lowes - I was in the store a couple of weeks ago looking for lights for our shop and one for the house (light with a fan). We wandered around the light section for probably 15 minutes and not once was there clerk in that department. I finally walked over to the appliance section and he called for someone to help (no one came), so he did the best he could to answer our questions.
Today my husband was back in the store to look for chimney/flu parts to install a wood burning stove. He talked to one associate that sent him to the garden center and the associate out there wouldn't even talk to my husband!! So he finally found another associate that sent him to where he thought he should be. It wasn't there. He asked another associate who said they probably didn't have what he needed. Probably! What kind of answer is that!!??
In the past we've always had good experiences but lately its been awful!! I can understand if the associate doesn't know the answer but to act like they don't care isn't acceptable. We have done a lot of business with Lowes over the last few years but it may be time to go to Ace Hardware. The Lowes customer service could take lessons from Ace.

I have been a loyal Lowes customer since the store in Lake In The Hill Il. opened. Ordered home carpeting 10 years ago, Air condition,
Kitchen range, Kitchen sink & dishwasher. Flooring for the Kitchen, Bathroom. Entrance way. Interior paint. On And On....
But this experience redoing the whole home, re carpeting turned into a nightmare. The project was to be done in two phases. My wife and I are in our 60s and we need to move the furniture. 1st Living Rm. Dinning Rm. Hallway. One bed room. Start Oct10th and 2nd date Oct 25th. With 2 seams in the living room. The installers came and they were going to piece meal the living room together. ( 4 seams ) Unacceptable. I stopped the installation since I already talked to the installation company and they told me that 2 seams were needed. Long story short. There estimator was incorrect on the measurements. I even gave him a print of my home with all the measurements. He never used it. He took his own measurements. You must remember , all our furniture is on the deck covered with tarps. and in the basement. The installation company said they would reorder and install as soon as it came in. That was a Tuesday Oct 3rd. They called Wednesday Oct 4th, stating they could use the last two bedroom pieces to finish the 1st phase. And they would reorder the carpeting for phase two on Oct 25th. The instillation team came on Oct 6th and finished phase one. With my wife and I moving furniture as to be able for us to use the home during this project.
Now I receive a call on Oct 24th by the sales man from Lowes saying the carpet was not in. That's 14 days that had to order and ship. He and the carpet company didn't know what happened. I went to Lowe's on Oct 27. Friday. They stated that corporate got involved because they wanted a better price from the manufacture. The store informed me that they and the carpet company were out of the loop on tracking. At that time while I was at the store the sales man called the carpet company and it had just been delivered at there location. So we re scheduled for
Monday Oct 30th. The Installers were great. Same team as before. You must remember every time something changed my wife and I had to move furniture around. The actions of the instillation estimator , and that of Lowe's corporate stepping in and not allowing the sale's man or carpeting dispatcher to track the carpeting is unacceptable. They could not give me a update as to the disposition of the carpet.
I understand construction. I was in the trades for 46 years. This was a huge fowl up.
And I at this time would like Consideration for my in convince.
Response requested.

Purchase flooring materials and we having a problem with it no one try to help not Lowes or manufacture never buy anything from Lowes again
We purchased a LG door inside door refrigerator In March and about 4 weeks after it started dumping all the ice out into floor it would do it everyday sometimes mo re than once reported the issue and eventually they replaced the door that helped until Sept and it started again. We reported it again and have been trying to get something done for 4 weeks. They have sent 2 servicemen 1 said it couldn't be fix and they wanted to send another why I don't know. This thing dumps in the middle of night during the day and you can't stop it till it empties and then the motor keeps running. We have been patient until now. I have a cat and it's stressing her and waking us up at night. We don't want our money back we just want to try another frig. (Same) tech said it was a problem inside frig. We are good Lowes customers and the frig is paid off and we have purchased a dishwasher recently and washer and drier in past and all our home improvement needs. I'm a manager myself and I understand there's steps but enough is enough. I love the refrigerator but I can't take much more. Lowes and LG needs to make this right or we are going to return it. Like I said we want to just try another one not get a refund and for you not to keep putting us off. When good customers that pay good money for items they expect those items not to give them problems but if they do they expect to get fast service to correct the problem. We feel because we have paid in full company is in not hurry to solve this problem. We would very much appreciated this problem being corrected asap.
Thanks in advance
In the past 3 weeks I have visited store # 3027, both times I have came in looking for an item, I could not find myself. I have ask a store employee to page someone and on both occasions I received no help. On other visit the employee had no knowledge of the item and could not help. It seems to me that when I enter this store I am on my own when it comes to finding assistants.
Purchased refrigerator to save food. Sales person said there was one in the back that still had warranty since that was important to us. She showed us the floor model and said the one in back was just like it but had some scratches and she gave us a discounted price. We purchased it site unseen and once home we found a partial (most was ripped off) document stuck to the top of the fridge that said "Problem Description: Not cooling enough" We assumed this had been repaired since we saw other similar documents on other refrigerators in store that showed this type of issue as well as how the problem was repaired. We plugged it in and it started cooling. We transferred our food to the new fridge 3 hours later and in the morning all frozen food was defrosted and temp was only at 60 degrees. I called Lowes and they scheduled repair for next week. Service was canceled twice before someone finally came out. Tech said it needed a dryer and ordered the part. Said it would be in in 6-7 days. Called Lowes and they provided a rental. Part was still not in over a week later so I called Lowes and was told that because the refrigerator has been services we can not buy warranty. Our 30 day return period is over in 4 days and we still do not have a working refrigerator and service company got rude when I asked why they didn't call me to let me know about the delay. I spoke to service company Saturday 10/14/17 and was told since it was the weekend she wouldn't know where the part was until Monday. No call back all week, so i called Thursday to be told it will be 6-8 weeks. We lost our food, I lost work due to having to be available for multiple service appt's that didn't even happen and We were misled that we could buy the warranty and that the only issue with the refrigerator was that it had scratches. We spent $863 on this refrigerator and so far it has cost us approx. $200 in food, 1 months time, and $300 in lost work. I could have just bought a brand new refrigerator for that price and now I still have to return this one since the 30 days return period will be over before it can be repaired. We have purchased all of our major appliances from Lowe's up until this point but I have lost faith in Lowe's and the people that provide service for Lowe's appliances. Attached is the document we found on top of the refrigerator after we got home.
we ordered a refrigerator on line. it was scheduled for delivery today, 10/14/2017. originally we were told "some between 0800 and 1000 hours". We then received a confirmation call at 0730 hours this morning stating they would arrive in 10 minutes. By this time we were sure the refrigerator was on the truck and in the neighborhood. we proceeded to box up all our refrigerated items and cleaned up our old refrigerator for pick up. after all this communication we were then told that our refrigerator was not only not on the truck but was not going to available for quite some time. this experience makes us want to completely avoid doing any business whatsoever with this company. were I the manager of the local store I would be replacing the ordered refrigerator with an even higher priced one immediately to help prevent did-satisfied customers.
I ordered 12 peices of vinyl siding to be delivered on Wednesday Oct.11. Today is Saturday Oct.14 no vinyl has been delivered. I have called the store several times,I get the answer , we do not have enough drivers. I will be looking for compensation for this problem. Free shipping and/or product. I has to send my workers home because of this. The store is on Clemson Blvd. in Anderson SC. Thanks
I purchase a troy-bilt backpack blower from the Lowes store located on Cone Blvd in Greensboro, NC about a year and a half ago. About a month ago it stopped working. I called the Lowes service advantage number and was told that it was still under warranty until 11-11-2017 and I needed to take it with my receipt to the Lowes where I made my purchase and they will send it out for repair. I took it there and the associate filled out some paperwork and told me it should be ready within 7 to 10 days. After about 3 weeks I decided to stop by the store to check on my blower. I was told that it was ready and they forgot to call me. I took it home and this morning I put gas in it and started it up. It ran for about 2 minutes and stopped. I returned to the Lowes and spoke with the manager Allen. He called a young lady Chole to the front to look at it. She asked me did I mix the oil and gas right? I explained to her that It was a 4 cycle and I did not need to mix the oil and gas. She stated that there is nothing that she could do for me and stormed off. I asked Allen did he hear how rude she was and he said that he didn't hear her although he was right in front of her. Allen then told me that it was under a manufactory warranty and there is nothing that they can do to help me but give me the troy-bilt number and I will have to contact them. I asked him could they just send it back out like they did last month to repair it and he told me that they tried to get it repaired once and could not repair it and I needed to deal with the company. He told me that they don't specialize in repairs, " WE JUST SELL THEM". So once you get the customer's money your concerned for the customers satisfaction is no longer important? In the past I have purchased mowers, hand blowers, weedeaters and a generator from this store and I have been happy with the product. Never again will I purchase any outdoor power equipment from Lowes. The rudeness of your employee and the lack of concern really amazes me. By the way, the troy-bilt customer service center rep told me because there was no service center near my home, that I needed to take my case number back to the store and have them send it out for repair. I explained to her that I would not be taking my blower back to that store and dealing with them. Having been in retail management for over 20 years, it is appalling to me that your manager was comfortable with a customer leaving the store unsatisfied. He really did not seem to want to fix the issue.
The Oaks PA. Store is a disgrace. I have never had such terrible service. I have spent close to $13,0000.00 on kitchen renovations. No one ever answers the phone. They don,t tell you the truth about orders. The entire management team is a disgrace. People just seem to not care about helping anyone . You need to get some control over the pathetic customer service in that store
Purchased over 3000 dollars appliances (Samsung) filed for rebate in early June. Here it is October 2 and all I get from rebate center "it's in process" they say I must wait 6-8 weeks, well it's been 4 months. Planned to use rebate to buy other remodel products, remodel is almost finished except back splash. Your rebate center is playing games. I will tell the world to avoid your stores rebates - unless they plan to wait for eternity. Shame on your company for such an apparent gimmick to get people to buy and then lie to them with any false hope!
To start with, it was my fault I forgot to pay for purchases in May. SYNCHONY called and I paid the bill on June 30. Today I get a bill with interest and late charges and the original amount of the purchase. What's up. How long does it take SYNCHRONY cash my check? That payment came in on the September statement. Please advise.
Acct#819024110836009 8
10/1/2017 I made online order #340230590. Same day I pickup AC. When I got home, I found out it was an open box. Reefers was damaged,
no mount supplies. When i came back to the service desk, assistant manager told me :" You have to return AC, because we do not have another one ".
I am ordering a NEW AC for the same prize,what you wanted to sell - used one, I drove 30 miles (3 trips) to Lowes and back to home, i lost 3 hours of my time. IT IS BAD SERVICE, WE ARE LIKE A CUSTMERS NOT DESERVED IN AMERIKA
Kitchen purchase and installation.
I have received very poor service and work during a kitchen installation job. I feel that the Lowe store and central production did no properly remedy all situations. I very precisely directed concerns about work quality from the start of the job and feel that my concerns were not taken seriously.
Also, after speaking with acquaintances regarding workmanship in my kitchen, I have concerns about the counter top installation (joint seam placement over dish washer), level/plumbn of cabinets, cracking caulk seams, and wiring integrity.
Furthermore, after asking that the initial contractor be removed from the job I received a hateful and unprofessional text message from the contractor. Lowe's did no properly address the behavior, in my opinion, leaving me feeling very unsafe and unhappy for some time after.
My kitchen job is not fully complete (finalizing a few appliance installations). As mentioned, I brought all of these issues to the attention of the central production office and my local store. I am filing this complaint due to my continued dissatisfaction with the process and product receive.
I feel as though did not receive the advertised Lowe's hassle-free service and quality. I also feel that I over-paid for the services received and that I should be monetarily compensated for the issues I've dealt with and sub-par final product.
I have multiple emails of communication with store personnel documenting all issues (with pictures) and would be happy to provide any information needed. The files are too large to attach and can email as necessary.

went to Lowes to buy flooring, first it took 20 min. to get someone in that department to help with our needs, than we got to the register and they wouldn't give us the 5% we should get for buying from Lowes(we spent 798.00) we used a Lowes gift card but they told us only if we used our credit card we're we entitled to the 5 % off of our receipt. I felt like taking all back get the cash than rebuy what we wanted is this how you want your customers to feel. I've gotten to the point where when my husband says lets go to Lowes I usually say let's go some where else where we can get some true service.

Home appliance delivery set up for Sunday 1 oct 2017 after noon. Call four times to see when they were coming said they were on their way. Never showed up!! never called!!! now it's 7:55 PM no appliance. If you're buying appliances at Lowe's I would suggest you go to Home Depot.
Help-Me Get my paid for compliance

Purchased to have a fence installed in June. Still has not been installed. Lowes keeps
Promising delivery and installation and nothing. Made several complaints in store and corporate nothing got done!!
I bought a Samsung refrigerator 4/30/16. Since than it has been nothing but problems!!!!!!! On Feb. 29th 2017 had a problem with door. Rambs fix that. On 6/20/17 my ice maker stopped working. Rambs came and told me I had to take everything out and let the refrigerator sit for 48 to 72 hours. I did that . It worked for about 1month. And again it stopped making ice. Now, on 9/25/17 the ice maker stopped working. Called Rambs and was told the same thing. At this point I have lost over 100 dollars worth of food. I CAN't KEEP SHUTTING DOWN ME 3000 dollar refrigerator!!!! This is just over a year old. The guy that was here today said there is nothing he could do. I do not want this refrigerator. I would like my money back. It is leaking from where the ice comes out and has made a mess of the front of refrigerator. This a product you should not be selling at your store. It has a problem with no fix.

I have been trying to get someone on the phone for several days now. I have tried both the stonybrook and Medford stores here in n.y. the operator has disconnected me or no one answers the ringing phone. terrible customer service! I'm calling about the washer I bought and was delivered 9/11 I was given no receipt for this purchase and if I decide to return the washer how do I go about doing that? phone # 6318214233 I need to hear back via phone so I can talk to a person.
For twenty years as a small business I've spent over a quarter million dollars with Lowes. Most of the expenditures have been on kitchen remodels... cabinets, appliances, associated bathroom items etc.. The Good Lord willing, I'll continue for a while in my business. BUT....
I've a problem. Lowes has become a sponsor of Major League Football franchises, which of course is perfectly legitimate. The problem is some of these franchises allow their players to disrespect our flag, and therefore our country.
I presume therefore that Lowes has no problem with these players, nor with their employers acquiescence to their employees actions. That too is Lowe's prerogative. It is at the same time my prerogative to decide on what terms I will do business with Lowe's.
I cannot, I will not, do business with an enterprise who turns a blind eye to disrespect of our country, our flag, our unity as a nation. You of course may advertise where you deem appropriate. The advertising budget you have, and the people to whom you have given control that budget, are, I trust, aware the public continues to turn off the NFL. And please also reflect there may very well be one or two or a million small business owners who share my disdain for Lowe's behavior. And turn you off as well.

One star is too much. This experience has driven us to the point of never buying anything from Lowe's Oneonta ny again and letting all friends and co-workers know of our experience. On 9/16/17 we tried to purchase a new washer and dryer. This debacle started with the sales associate having less than a working knowledge of the store's sales software. It took us over 2 hours to just purchase the pair. A DELIVERY DATE WAS SET-UP FOR TODAY ,9/20/17, BETWEEN NOON AND 4PM. At 3:47pm when the delivery had not been made I called the store to be told that the delivery for today had been cancelled and was changed to Tuesday the 26th. In order to be home for the scheduled date a day off from work was taken, the old machines were removed from the laundry room to assist the delivery persons and now we have no new set or the use of our old set! To make matters worse the system at the store would not allow us to update our new e-mail address for this type of situation. This issue became pertinent when our home phone lines went out on late Saturday and are still not functional.
I was advised that the new delivery date had an "all day" time frame so now we are forced to again take another day off to "hopefully" receive our "cash purchased" goods. This is not the first time we have experienced poor service from this store but it will be the last. Home Depot is approximately 1 mile from the Lowes.
The closest laundromat to us is 12 miles away and this will become a major hardship, all over a system with systemic failures built in.
The only Lowes in my area is Lowes of Shelbyville, tn. The customer definitely comes last in their minds. Guses as long as they are getting paid everything is ok in their minds. Worst customer service of anyplace I have ever been. Anything to get you to shut up and out the door. Ordered quart of paint. They came back with a sample and told me to use it to see if it works. Duh. Where is quart?? On another visit?? 12 employees around front desk and no one to help. What is really depressing is this is all we have and getting dumber every single day.
To whom it may concern. I purchased a refrigerator on Sept 6, 2017 . The brand was Frigidaire the model number is LFSS2612TP. the extended protection purchased plan Reference number 0070985317249083229002.The water would not dispense from water outlet on the refrigerator.I call lowes and talk to Alisha and a work order was made. I was told if would be 3 businesss days before the serviceman would contact me.This was on 09/13/2017 . a work order was placed with Hill's TV & appl. 757-653-2322. The repairman called this morning at 08:57 to set a time for to work on refrig. The address where the frig is 8033 Gates RD Suffolk,VA 23437. The repairman said he would be there between 1;00pm and 1;30 pm. I call at 2;00 pm and ask the repairman was he coming to repair the frigs, his reply was he had went to my house which was 10972 Ellis Rd Suffolk, Va 23437. the work order clearly shows the correct address on it which is 8033 Gates rd. I wasted the entire day waiting on this repairman. I am totally disgusted with this hold situation. It is unsat the way this has been done. My plan right now is pack this Refrig up, and return it where I purchased it. I might have to pay a little more but when the service is crappy I don't mind. I provided a copy of the work order for the service provider showing correct address. I am clearly unsatisfied the service or non-service provided. I will return the frig, and go somewhere else and buy. Thanks for the help. Or should I say the Non-Help.

I am usually a huge Lowe's fan, but not yesterday. I have been remodeling my house, and have been a loyal Lowe's customer for a long time now. On Sunday, September 17, 2017, I went into my local Lowe's (Stroudsburg/Bartonsville, PA), with two gallons of paint to return. I had painted my bedroom and once the paint dried, we did not like the color. I was familiar with the paint return guarantee offered by Lowe's, so I double checked the policy online, and decided to take my paint back.
Upon speaking with the return person up front, I was met with an attitude immediately and a look of suspicion, like I had done something wrong. This lady up front knew nothing about any return policy and called someone for help, describing the "problem" like it was completely ridiculous. She's being given info over the phone, and says "Are you serious"? She then hangs up the phone and starts processing my return. Within a minute or two, a manager named Dawn comes up and tells me that the return policy does not apply to me, since it wasn't Valspar paint. The lady handling the return cancelled everything and asked for the next customer in line. I looked up the policy on my phone, which states "liquid paint purchase", with no mention of a specific brand. So, I wait for the return lady to be done with her customer and ask her to speak to a manager. She tells me "You were just speaking with one". Again, her attitude was super rude. Dawn comes to speak with me again and I show her the paint return policy. She tells the return lady to process the return. So she does - with a major attitude, and then told me "We mean a few brush strokes - not a whole room", and Dawn says "Yeah, we sell paint samples for this". Honestly, I have never been treated so badly by any Lowe's employees than I did yesterday. These two are rude, unprofessional, and should be well aware of policies and guarantees offered by your company - especially someone working at the RETURNS counter!! I would also think a manager would know what the paint policy looks like. But - she didn't. Can you please handle this? After yesterday, I'm not sure I want to spend my hard earned $ there anymore.
I have been a long time standing customer. Even though basically each time I bought a major product there have been problems. Carpeting took 4 months to get installed when it was suppose to be done within 4 days. I bought $3,000.00 of appliances last November 2016. Some arrived dented and had to be replaced . Sending the wrong dishwasher ordered. It took 3 weeks to past the maximum time quoted to get it in. I was suppose to get a $100.00 visa card for buying the Washer, dryer, microwaved , dishwasher and refrigerator. I sent in the original receipt as instructed and they lost it. They would not pay me until I sent in the original but I could not as they already had it and lost it. Your company will not make good on it. Then this last month. I paid my bill on 7-30-2017. I called on the phone and the billing had been updated for a minimum payment of 89.44. I paid it on the phone by check. This was for the 8-28-2017 payment. Well you computer system put it down as an additional payment for July. I called customer service and they would not adjust it saying it is not possible. The manager said the same thing. So basically you have a messed up system. Why would you have a system that cannot be adjusted. Now I have you credit service calling 8-10 times a day for a payment I have made. So what is going to happen now. I am transferring the money and as soon as that is done. I am closing my account and NEVER BUYING ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM YOU STORE!! Basically you have messup every major purchase I have had and now you have a computer system the promotes BAD Customer Service.
I went to do some shopping at my favorite home improvement store Lowe's in Plymouth Indiana Saturday September 16 in the afternoon after 3pm and I walked in the store this Lowe's employee was standing there as if he was greeting customers so I said hi to him he did not respond at all to me and looked at me rudely so I walked by him again to see his name tag and he was just staring at me as if he was mad at me his name tag had J.P. on it so I am assuming his name is J.P. I love Lowes and recommend to people I know to shop there and love to shop there myself but kind of turned off now with how rudely I was treated by J.P. the one store employee that was very helpful and very nice was the plumbing professional name on name tag was Dotty and he was very helpful thanks
I am a Semi Retired Contractor that spend about $100,000.00 per year give or take. Your lumber has went down the Crapper there is so much destroyed wood from your Fork lift drivers along with other products. In your Cincinnati Ohio Colerain ave store I see your Employees in Lumber and shipping standing around when there is so much that could be done ? Example ; I know people come in the store and go through wood and move it around. If I was store manager I would tell the people in the lumber department to go through and straighten it up so it doesn't warp out and to make sure they restock wood where it belongs. Select pine is always mixed up with Knotty Pine. You over charge people for special orders and in my last Order I waited too long to get it and when I went to pick it up it was damaged. Your shipping and receiving head there "I guess that's who he was said I will sell it to you for Half Price" What in the hell would anyone want to buy something you can't use on a job ???? I waste more time in your store waiting for help when I could be working making money. I did not receive a refund yesterday because more of the, I have to wait for someone to come down at His or her Convenience. If they don't refund my Money I will Cut my card up and see you on the trouble shooters here in my State .Sad Home Depot Has better service and wood but I hate their new lay out for contractor pick up Parking {Dumbest thing they ever did}. All the Lazies park in there and people shopping when it rains. In short your store manager wouldn't work for me.
So many. No one cares at your New Lenox store. Ex: called to get copy of recently purchased cooktop. They could find no record on any phone #, said no other way to find it. They found my name tho with nothing listed. Tried to get the mgr but he wasnt there, also Sean the asst, not there either! When we first came there EVERONE WAS IN A MEETING IN THE BACK. There were very few people that seemed to working. When we bought the stove the checker at door was coletely unhelpful regarding obtaining your credit card,not explaining the various cards, interrupted our transaction to do a return, said she did not want to tell me about the cards because"no one gets them anyway". I waited on the line when I called only for the phone to be disconnected. There is more but I have spent enough time on this. We are doing a 30K* remodeling job but you have lost our business
We ordered a Jeld Wend french door with blinds last year. The entire process was an absolute nightmare. After the order we had the install team come out to install the door. To say the least the install was poor. The doors would not line up and we had heat going out and cold air coming in. So I called the store and they sent out the installers again who did even more damage than before they then called a representative from Jeld Wendt and the rep., confirmed it was a poor install and that not much could be done. In addition to the poor install the installers damaged the dry wall around the frame.
So I called the store and the manager Brian agreed to reimburse me for the door. However, we paid $1800.00 and he only reimbursed me $1500.00.
I am seeking the balance due of $300.00 plus $200.00 in dry wall damage.
We also found out and were disappointed that a large corporation like Lowe's had installers install the door with no permit which is against the law in Bolingbrook, il. It is no wonder the install was poor as the installers were not licensed to do the job.
I looking forward to hearing from you on this matter.
This is my second complaint in 3 months. First one I thought was taken care of until this final visit. This time there were those who took their job seriously and were very helpful, like the girl in paint was a perfect lady and did exactly as was asked of her, so no complaints there.
Lumber was helpful at first then it went to hades in a hand basket, and before it was all over I was madder than a wet hen.. I asked for treated plywood and all I got was external. The plywood is going into an extremely damp place and external would disintegrate in a short while. So that is fuss 1, when we ( me and my 81 year old mother) thought we were finished shopping we were both worn out because of the long time it took to get serviced, The boys that were supposed to load my truck with my bought items quit in the middle of the load and left me, a disabled man, to try and load it by myself. I got it loaded and went into the lower part o pick up my plywood, when they came out with the external piece. I was livid by then if it wasn't for my 81 year old mother I would have raised a fuss right there, but we just went and I am here to complain once again about crappy service and lazy employees. When I worked ,I was expected to do my job , not stand around and jack my jaw with other employees or what not. Last time the manager called me up at home here and told me if I'd give Lowes another chance he'd be happy to give me 20% off my next purchase! Bologna!!!!!!!!!!! All I got from my second visit was a dag gone upset stomach and a tired as all get out couple of people!!
I'll never ever as llong as I live make another visit to your establishment.....Thanks for making me angry once again.
When I go into the Lowes on May Ave in Oklahoma City the employees have no life experience and it shows! I go into the store regularly and do everything most of the time myself, if I need help it's not easy to find it and once I find it the people that work there have no answers! They are all poorly trained and don't listen. I've been calling for online orders for 2 months now to get my information Lowes has on their computers for me and I've called more than 6 times to get this done and it hasn't been done. I spoke to Jill online supervisor 8/22/2017 employee id 1752041 and she said she would get my info updated and call me when it's done, today is 9/10/2017 and I haven't heard a word.
I went online to get a quote for a bathroom retile and Angela called and left a message to call them back and that my information was saved! After 4 phone calls and an hour later a supervisor Bryan got me to Shasta and she got a quote scheduled. This is rediculous! Lowes is a poorly ran company! It all starts at the top!
Have ordered over 10,000 dollars of cabinets back in early may to this day haven't revived all pices of cabinets. Don't understand why your store in Gunbarrell City,Tx can't put the heat on cabinet builder to get correct pices from manufactor so we can put our kitchen back together, they have sent wrong pices several times and still waiting on pices with no luck of this happening in timely matter. The store even tells me they can't get manufactor to reply and do there job as a Lowes vendor??
I ordered my appliances ($$4100.00 worth) online and when they arrived at store I was contacted to set up delivery. I set up delivery for 6 days after which was a Saturday. I was told I would receive a phone call giving me a window. Well the phone call never came. when I called I was told that whoever I spoke with had entered in the computer incorrectly for a pick up instead of a delivery. Then they said it would be Sunday before hey could be delivered. I had a electrician coming in on Saturday to install and had to reschedule him and he doesn't work Sundays so I had to take off work Monday to meet him. In the mean time the delivery guy called me back and explained that my double oven that had been sitting in the back for 1 1/2 months ( plenty of time to be checked) was the wrong color and I would have to wait 3 weeks for the correct color to be delivered. Which means the electrician has to come out twice to install and I would be moved in my new home without my oven.I don't understand why that wasn't caught when it was checked in. (poor training and poor systems in my opinion. The entire experience has been a huge inconvenience and costs me 2 service calls for an electrician. This happened at the Lowes in Gainesville GA and when I called to speak with Jason the manager he said he would make it right and call me back with a solution and I never have received a call from him yet. That was 2 weeks ago.
I am extremely unhappy with Lowes since it has now been 3 months since I ordered my special order blinds for my condo in Reston, Virginia. I ordered them from the Lowes of Fairfax store number 3274.
The installer has now been out 3 times to order the same blinds and he says he put the order into Lowes but each time I check, three blinds out of 9 never get ordered. One set of blinds was ordered, they were damaged & ordered again. NOW they are the incorrect size.
I have spoken to one of your representatives at Headquarters but they do not seem to give a damn. I have also spoken to the representative at Lowes that put in my order, Julie, but she and her manager blame the installer. I really do not care who is to blame, I just want my order of blinds completed.
I wish I had never ordered my blinds from Lowes and gone to Home Depot, instead. I am so disgusted with the service that Lowe's has shown me. I paid $741.00 for these special order blinds and I know it is not a lot of money to you all, but, it is an extremely a lot of money to me.
I called Lowe's this past Sunday to see if the order had gone in, again, from this past week's measured windows. Guess what, it had not and nobody has followed up on it. I expect I will get a call sometime in the next few weeks to say that they have to come out again for the 4th time to measure the same windows since they lost the order for the 4th time.
I hope that somebody from your office will check into this problem as I am now wanting a credit for this order and if you don't want to complete the order, then you need to tell me.
On April 25 2017 I purchased a Larson Tradewind in door Glass/Screen door from store 1105 Fort Wayne IN. I have had good luck with Lowes performing the service and installation on other items so I elected to have Lowes order and install the door.
Up to installation time it went well. After installation has been nothing but a nightmare. Immediately after the first rain storm we noticed water coming in the door and the screen was bowed out baldly. We contacted the store and was told to contact the warranty department. I was put in contact with a Anthony Conner email Anthony.conner@lowes.com. Whom I sent pictures and video and description of door issue. Larson then requested more information and refuted claim On May 27 2017 I sent Anthony more information requested. Finally at end of June Larson agreed that we needed a new screen set but the water was just due to poor clauking. So Anthony was going to get the screen and then have his installer call him at point and time of installation to verify proper install. Finally after waiting for the screen to arrive and schedule install date on August 21 the day of the install. I received a call from the installer who stated that while paper work told him the screen was there at store 1105. He went to pick it up and found it was not there. Additionally his installer reported that after my first complaint I should have been advised that I did not need a new screen or more clauking but rather a WHOLE NEW DOOR. So now it is Sept 4th and I have tried for days to get ahold of Anthony and no luck. He has helped but I think he is tried of this and moving on. So now I am escalating to Lowes as a valued customer to fix this and give me a proper door. I have pictures, video and paper work if you require more information. I have all the emails with Anthony as well. Please let me know how we can resolve this.

My name is Jose medina, and my complaint has to do with now that I've been in contact with your customer service dept twice to complaint about a bad experience I had with your store in sanford Florida. I've spoken to one of there store managers who told me he would take care of the matter. I never got a call from this store, it's been 3 weeks now, and your office said someone will be in touch with me, some did call me saying that the manager will be in vacation until the 28th of aug, but I understand there are two managers , the communication between the store and your office have left me very disappointed , hoping that this would have been resolve already. My number is 407-232-0966 I would appreciate a call for a update if possible
My brand new water heater (Lowes/Whirlpool) caught fire and neither Lowes or Whirlpool will replace it. Lowes says I have to disconnect it (I am not an electrician) and "bring it in" for a refund, and Whirlpool says that they will replace it but the cost of a new install is $600 that I do not have. I am now with a non-working water heater and no way to replace it.
Last night on 08/31/2017 about 2115 hours I submitted an online order,
Purchase Details
Date:
08/31/2017 Location: E. Jacksonville Lowe's (904) 855-8088 Order #: 339123302 Status: In Process Total:$328.80
Today 09/01/2017 at 1030 am I went to pick up my order. The woman at the customer service counter had no idea of what I was talking about or any idea of what I purchased. She tried to call associates for 20 minutes with no response.
Finally I was like " I will go pull my own order", I grabbed a buggy, went to the electrical isle, started to pull the items I needed, Lowes was out of 1-1/4" sweep 90's PVC, an associate was walking past me and I stopped him and asked for more of the fittings, he said they are up top somewhere and walked off.
Now I have been in the store for more than two hours.
I walked back to the customer service desk where at least 6 sales a.ssociates were posing for photos in front of a hurricane awareness sign, again I asked the woman " does anyone know about my order"? She said it should have been pulled last night"
Is this really how customers are supposed to be treated? I had a job that was supposed to be done today, that's why I did an internet order. Now I am a day behind.
Two thumbs down, zero stars for Lowes.

First, two years ago Lowe's remodeled our kitchen. We bought the majority of our products from Lowe's and used your design services. We were greatly satisfied with the kitchen remodel. We spent between $22,000 to $24,000 with Lowe's.
We are using the same contractor and ordered the cabinetry for our master bathroom from Lowes. We ordered on 7/4/17 a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub at our local Lowe's for our bathroom remodel. It was delivered on 7/13 and several days later it was unpacked by our plumber who advised that it was damaged (crack on middle lip of tub with scratches in the fiberglass lip surround). We notified Lowe's who re-ordered and delivered 2nd tub on 7/23. The plumber came and unpacked to discover this tub also damaged (corner was chipped/cracked, all kind of scratches and the plumbing was falling off the tub). We advised our local Lowe's. Third tub was delivered yesterday. Plumber came today and this tub is also damaged (same damage as first tub). We believe the first tub was re-delivered by Lowe's as it had the same damage.
Our expectation is that Lowe's will send us a new, undamaged tub without delay and credit the costs of our plumber having to come 3 times to install to our credit card. If the 4th tub is damaged, it will be returned and full refund of the tub, any delivery fees we may have been charged, taxes and a check for the costs we've incurred for the plumber to come on 3 separate occasions to install this tub.
Each time we called Customer Service, it took 2 to 3 people to finally speak with us and get a re-order done. Several times we were disconnected and had to call back.
Please advise what you will be doing to correct this horrendous customer service nightmare. To say we are disappointed with the local Lowe's and the customer service dept.is an understatement.
I expect someoneto call me once you've decided what you will do to correct the problems created by our local Lowe's at 561-801-1002.

My name is Angela Sadler. My husband, Ben, and I entered into a contract with the Lowe’s of Sedalia, MO, back on June 17, 2017 for a PSI project. This was to span from full kitchen including cabinets, countertops, backsplash. Flooring, ceiling texture, and paint in the kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway, two bedrooms, and main bath. The bath included the demo of old vanity and cabinet and replacing both. This is a quick explanation of the work we wanted done, but is not all inclusive.
The project manager that we worked with for many weeks, and finally signed the contract with was Ben Banner. Our cabinets were set to deliver by a freight company on the 25th of July, and the work to begin on the 3oth.
Simply put, when the project manager was separated from the company, our entire project was left unaddressed by anyone. When the 20th of July rolled around, Ben and I went to the store to find out the status of our cabinets. We were advised that the freight company had been trying to contact us since July 11th. I immediately called them, seems that since they were unable to contact us by phone they were also emailing the store repeatedly, with no response. At this time we asked that our contact number be corrected so no further issues with calling us would occur.
Our projected date for completion was the 18th of August. Due to the scope of work that was being done, my husband and I chose to stay in a hotel until enough of the work had been completed that we could comfortable move back in with minimal interruption. At this time we are still in a hotel, and may not be able to get back into the house until the end of the month.
The sole reason for this letter is to let it be known that every issue and delay of this project could have been avoided 100% had someone accepted the responsibilities of the open projects and followed through with them accordingly. Unfortunately to this date, when we go to the store and ask for a manager we are told they are on the phone or busy in a meeting. We are very disappointed with the lack of response and elusiveness that we have received.
We fully understand that we are bond by a contract with a $50,000 dollar price tag and our hands are tied. What is even more damaging is we are required to pay for this project up front before any work is even begun, and now we wait while our home is completed at their leisure.
And now add insult to injury, we continue to pay daily with the cost of hotel stay, unable to cook a meal eating out every meal, and the discomfort of not being in your own home. It has not only taken a toll on us financially, but emotionally as well, and are at our wits end.
I understand that anyone who reads this is unable to do much about it now, the damage has been done, yet we would truly like to see someone come forth and acknowledge that this has not been properly handled and maybe even offer an apology. We surely could not consciously recommend this program to anyone.
Thank you for your time,
Angela Sadler
August 7, 2017 Lowes representative came to my home for a roofing job estimate. He instructed me it would be two to three days and I would have an estimate. It is August 28 today. Three weeks has past. I called after the 1st week and was told the store manager would get back to me the very next day. Never happened. Following week I wrote twice directly to the sales person that did the roof estimate. Still nothing. I canceled my card at Lowes and now Home Depot has my business. Happy ending.!!!
My husband and I shopped at the Beaumont, Texas store today, Sept. 23, 2016. As soon as we walked in the door we had a question about where an item would be located in the store. I walked to customer service where two female employees were whispering to each other, one was looking directly at me and never asked me to wait a minute, or her fellow employee to wait a minute. They continued on until I raised my eyebrows and said to her " REALLY?". At this time she asked if she could help me.
By this time I'm already angry! We got several things on our list and went looking for a cleaning supply that you show on your website, but we couldn't find in the store.....we also couldn't find a person to ask, or a button to push. I finally saw a male employee on his phone ( I believe) , Lowe's may have radios employees hold up to their ears. I chased him for four aisles trying to get his attention, and never could. Now, I'm seventy years of age and five feet tall and he was well over six feet, so his stride is a lot longer than mine, but I was furious.
By the time we got to checkout, the poor checker got the brunt of the anger. That us not fair to her, and not having employees on the floor is certainly not fair to the customers. We will not shop in this Lowes store again, and advise others to shop elsewhere also.
We purchased a very expensive, new refrigerator less than one year ago, and to this day, the ice maker will not work. We have received multiple service visits and it still does not work. Right now my 82 year old husband has severe bronchitis and needs ice with which to drink his increased fluids and we have to go out to the store to buy it. Can someone please either give us a new ice maker or fix the one we purchased new. I am at my wits end with Lowes and their "service" companies.
Poor poor employees, all they won't to do is try and pass the buck to someone else . Went to place a lumber order for pickup the next day . 1st employee told me they are real far behind , won't be able to pull order today . Told him I need it tomorrow, he told me again they couldn't pull it today. Then told me to rewrite my list , too much for him. Then he disappeared!! 2nd employee, told me before she starts to make list how do I wish to pay I told her I had an account! Then she wanted all account info 1st.(took my business to Home Depot). Thanks lowes credit card is canceled!
It has been quite an experience trying to allow you to match prices with Home Depot,especially when your stores are across a freeway from each other.In the past I had to make a copy with my printer of the exact article even though it was probably manufactured by the same company and only the UPC was different. With respect to electric conduit, I have bought many hundreds of feet of the 2" X 10' and had to make a copy as it was not enough to bring a receipt from HD dated the same day with the same manufacturers name on it.
Today HD only had one 1/2" diameter long sweep elbow from the maker Cantex and your was from Carlon, but the very same plastic article ,but priced $.06 more expensive,but the same article and I must say of lesser quality but acceptable for what I was using it for .In the past you and HD have both bought from the same manufacturers and I have found the different names in your stocks of plastic electrical conduit. Several weeks ago I bought 5 of the 1/2" long sweep 90 degree elbows and had to make a copy of the HD price to allow you to match it otherwise you would not have done so and today I had the receipt from HD and the same product in my hand and the two side by side and your people stated they had to be from the same maker not allowing themselves to realize that the two articles were the same, but with a different makers name on it.
I use the internet exclusively to make any purchasing decisions and plan my trips to make those purchases or else I have them delivered if they are not available locally at a price that warrants travel versus online ordering, not paying taxes as we are sales tax exempt and most times free shipping. In future I will no longer allow you to match prices even if HD is out of something that you stock at a higher price. It is just to frustrating when I can just await a time when it will again be in stock at Home Depot.
You must have better people making determinations concerning prices and what actual differences exist between very simple products that are not different in the first place.This problem happened at your Cypress store #2371 and the Home Depot store was across the 290 NW freeway. Also your internet stocks are not so easily found online when I visited your sites. Maybe that was due to some other problems associated with lazy employees who had little or no knowledge of the products they were listing of the products information that were not understandable.
Do not think that I will be so quick in the future to shop Lowes when price matching remains such a laborious endeavor and if your prices are not competitive and shown online as such.
I am 66 year old woman, own a small van, had a family project with my handicapped 44 year old son, build a small 2 foot fence down side of house, 1st day went to lowes, right by my house, asked to cut off 12 inches of sheet, lowes stated they only cut wood, next day went with measurements for wood fence, needed 6 - 10 ft 4x4's cut in half to fit in van, employee rude and stated they won't cut wood 4x4's in half. Asked for manager and stated this lowes is right up by my house and I come here for everything, he stated "i don't care if you've come here once or 20 times I still won't cut wood in half".
I walked out and went to home depot, they cut everything to the size I needed, walked out helped me load and gave me basic instructions on how to build the small fence. Are you there just for the money, buy it as it is take it or leave it, do you hire horribly rude employees? My son said go to lowes mom they have nicer stuff, I say go to Home Depot they are there to actually help you. When I went into home depot there must have been 6 people that said "ma'am, do you need help", when I go in lowes I get "sorry that's not my department, I know nothing about that". What a sad excuse for a home improvement store!
Have feedback for Lowes?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
