Terrible Customer Service
December 30, 2024

I bought a microwave, range and refrigerator from Lowe's back in September. I didn't move into my house until October. Turns out the microwave was too big for the space. I tried to return the microwave ($200) and buy a new smaller microwave for $400 but the store on North Shadeland in Indianapolis wouldn't let me return it. Come to find out Lowe's has a 48 hour return policy on appliances. I checked my receipt and the only thing it says on there is to go to Lowe's.com to see their return policy. I've called Lowe's corporate office and they were just as rude as the employees at the store and told me there was nothing they could do to help me. So now I have a nice new microwave that I'll be putting up on Facebook marketplace for half price. Whatever you do, don't buy appliances from Lowe's unless you are 100% sure they are exactly what you need.

Customer services are bad. Very defensive when comes to questions that may be a bit more into details. I will not visit them again.

I went to Lowes to purchase stairwell materials. I had $3,373.00 available on my Lowes Card. Materials at register came to $1,315.00. Screen came up that an 800 # for Synchrony had to be called for an Approval Code. I called the 800 # as the consumer while at the register and it was declined to give an approval code. I then requested a manager. Manager "Mike" at Holland Road said he could do nothing with the bank for the Lowes Card. Synchrony today indicates the Manager could have called to find out about an approval. Manager "Mike" at Holland Road was the same person as I was walking up to he and another person to find out where stair well items were located could not even say Good Morning and how may I help you. I had to initiate the "Good Morning" If this is all you can get to work for Lowes these days it is extremely POOR customer service and I now understand your 2.51 rating on the website. I cut my card up while at the store; I've called today and closed my account. I will definitely do my shopping elsewhere as much as possible. I am sure me as one person is just nothing to Lowes but all the continued "nothings" you treat this way gets your low ratings and your business going elsewhere.

Sliding door fiasco
November 19, 2024

At Lowe's in Suwanee, GA, I ordered a Pella sliding door on October 16 with the promise that it would be delivered within 28 days. When I had heard nothing for 33 days, I went online to Lowe's Check Order Status. Unexpectedly, my order could not be located, by order # or phone #. I then went to the Lowe's store and inquired at Customer Service. The order could not be found in Lowe's records either. After a few different managers investigated, I was told that the door "had been ordered" despite no record of that and that it would be delivered within a week. No guarantee or proof was offered. When I requested a refund instead, I was told that my credit card had not yet been charged. In spite of showing my receipt, I had to return home to print out my credit card purchase documentation and return to the store to be very reluctantly given a refund. BEWARE of placing a special order at Lowe's.

I purchased a refrigerator on the Lowes credit card and was told that if there was a sale with-in 30 days I could call and get the price match. When I called I was told by manager, Shiannia, that the price could not be match because now the promotional discount of using the credit card would not apply to a sales priced item. Even though right on the website it advertises the sale price with 5% off using the credit card. I would never purchase from Lowe's again, horrible customer service.

No credit card service
November 6, 2024

For over 4 months, several phone calls, live chats and messaging...I have been unable to get the statement service and my site access straight. The last phone conversation i had i wanted to pay all of the account down, as i once again did not get a statement, after i had told them in a previous conversation to send statements via regular mail. Long story short, they have consistently screwed up this billing, consistently screwed up my access and have consistently avoided any and all accountability. After i had supposedly payed the card down (was not even all that much) I get another 'late notice more than a month later for $12.71...absolutely no indication what it was related to, except a small fee and interest amount. I am canceling this card and I will not step through those doors again. I had an 'excellent' credit rate, now I am below 700 because of TWO reports these fools have sent in. Horrible service and damaging impact, typical corporate response.

Incompetent
October 30, 2024

I spend thousands of dollars at Lowes, service is spotty but up till today not terrible.
Live is Sarasota and the hurricane destroyed several appliances. On 10/23 I order a new dishwasher, not an inexpensive one at that. After waiting a week for the installation, when the time came, no show. No one called from Lowes to tell me there was an issue. I called the installation company, they stated that the installer went to the store to pick it up and it was not there. They informed Lowes, who neglected to call me. I called them, after waiting on hold I finally spoke to customer service, they were unable to explain why I was not contacted and that they told the installer to the wrong store to pick up the dishwasher. No communication just meaningless apologies. Even though they have a 2 day policy for missed deliveries they are now telling me they can't deliver the item for 7 days from today. My advice to you is to do business with a local retailer, not a big box store that cares little for their customers. If you look at the reviews of Lowes you will see that this is a common issue with Lowes and they have very low satisfaction reviews.

Paint
October 9, 2024

I have painted alot of rooms in my life and have never had so much trouble as I have in the past couple of weeks. I changed out everything, thinking it couldn't be the paint I got it from Lowes. Yeah, right! 3 gallons of paint later, on a small bedroom. I decided it looked good enough. The paint kept bubbling on the wall, so I'm scraping, sanding, washing and painting. Over and Over! So disappointed!

We wanted to purchase a new appliance package. The stores had limited inventory so we shopped online and had amazing selection with quick delivery in home and setup. They partner with local delivery crews who did amazing work. Thank you for great service!

Lowe's is turning into a joke. We ordered a fridge off-line from the stores recommendation found out that you get a 30 day warranty. Only if you use a Lowe's card if you use your own money, you won't get a two day warranty well guess what the fridge doesn't work it leaks water every time you open the door onto my floor. I did not know this because I was not living in the house at the time for two weeks called the customer hotline. No one can help. They just said call the manufacturer. Thanks Lowes your loss.

Waited for promised delivery 9am to 9pm NOTHING. Next day Mgr Niclole could have cared less, offering nothing in the day of fixing their mistake. Home Depot gets my business going forward.

Wanted to buy a dewalt drill/driver with 2 batteries and a charger. Clerk said there was no such configuration and would not unlock the cage to check. I went home and purchased it from Amazon. The shelbyville store is being poorly managed and the employees need better training.

"Stainmaster" (🤣) Carpet
July 15, 2024

Purchased "Stainmaster" (🤣) carpet at Lowe's in High Point, NC. After 2 years, carpet looks filthy. No children, no pets. Just an elderly couple on fixed income. I have been a customer of Lowe's for many years. NO MORE! DO NOT BUY FROM LOWE'S. Customer service and customer satisfaction are non-existent. Thank goodness Home Depot is just down the street from Lowe's.

Inadequate employee
July 13, 2024

My husband and father-in-law visited the plumbing department twice today and received inadequate assistance from an employee named Don. Eventually, Don suggested they hire a plumber, which is unacceptable given the nature of the store. If Don is not interested in working in the plumbing department, he should seek employment elsewhere. No customer should receive such poor treatment at Lowe's home improvement store or any other establishment.

Lowe's is corrupt
June 24, 2024

Never use Lowe's there corrupt and if you didn't know don't buy a mower till you plan to use it because it is a set up. They sold us a mower in April went to use it in June and paid 400 for a warranty the mower wouldn't even start we charged the battery then ten minutes later it started smoking and wouldn't start there horrible they wouldn't do nothing for us but offer to refund it and even had the nerve to tell us that we still might have to pay to get it fixed because our warranty doesn't cover it. Why do you pay for a warranty? I rral. If anyone was in our shoes you would not accept this mower because we paid for a 3000 dollar new mower and this isn't a new mower. A new mower starts when you go to start it and don't blow up on you. Never shop here Springfield ohio location manager name Ashley is the most disrespectful unprofessional manager I've seen. You guys this is from experience. They did this to my 85 ll6 year old grandma it broke down June 1st took them 2 weeks to cone get it and thry siad teo weeks to fix it. 😂 It's just when you shop at Lowe's you expect the best and far from the best. We've contwcted state attonrey general bbb consumer affairs and Lowe's at least 20 times with no sympathy from Lowe's or even ownership for being in the wrong selling us this mower. My grandma's cried everyday since June 1st because of these people there corrupt.

If I could I would give NO STARs. I bought a brand new Craftsman Riding lawnmower, the blade doesn't engage so called they told me that they were going to replace with a new one that they assembling it last weekend that they would call me but they never did so-called back on Tuesday they said they would assemble a new one and deliver it today, well they came to get the one I have, well they didn't have my replacement so I didn't give him the one I have not until I get the new one. So called the store they said they didn't have any more at their store, well where is the one they were assembling all week? This was the first time I shopped and bought something from Lowes, I can tell you this I will NEVER shop there again. Very upset and really P'd off. Nice way to treat a military veteran, vet friendly NOT

Bought a fridge with their warranty 3 yrs. Ago. Last Sunday it stopped working. Contacted the warranty company and they sent a company out on Monday. He told us they had to order parts for it and it would take a week. Lowes told us they didnt have any loaners. We lost pretty much everything in our fridge at over 350.00. Filled another claim for the losses they only cover 300. Still waiting to hear if it was even approved. Numerous calls to the warranty company and to Lowes corp. The answer is pretty much oh well you just have to wait on the repair company. Parts are in and its Friday and you have to reschedule for them to come out. The repair company is closed on the weekends and no overtime. Had to schedule for Monday. To sum it up food loss plus aggravation of dealing with the run around from lowes and the repair company. Having to eat out every day $$$. This is the very last appliance I will buy from Lowes and possibly the last time to buy from them.

Dissatified customer
April 30, 2024

First of all ordered counter tops was told it would be about 6 weeks...Was 3 months!

Then got a new stove from them, first one I've ever had in my lifetime. Kitchen being redone and couldn't use stove until 5 days after it was delivered. Smooth top range and two of the burners are messed up after I used it once. Called Lowe's Manager was told it has to be returned within 48 hours. I wasn't able to use it until 5 days later! Told me to call the company, look in manual.Would have been nice had he supplied the number. Very very unhappy customer...Won't be going back.
