Lowe's price match

How great of lowes to pride themselves on a guarantee competitor price match. However, they are not willing to price match their own store. That's right one lowes in one part of town has one price and the other lowes a couple of miles down the road has another price - and guess what - they will not match it. Even after the first lowes told me to go on to the other store and get the item there, for they were out of stock. So guess what lowes - I guarantee that I will take my business to your competitors instead.

Lowe's lied, sloppy work

I ordered a wooden fence from Lowes and the sub-contractor came out and appeared rather bored and annoyed. Whatever...I paid almost $6, 000 upfront for my fence and his attitude was minor. What wasn't minor was the slow, sloppy job that they did, the mess they made and the overages of about $500 worth of dry cement and boards that they left in my driveway and on my lawn. It took them 6 weeks to pick them up, under threat of a lawsuit. DON"T ORDER FROM LOWES!

SLOPPY and rotten management.

(ps- they also messed up on the delivery of a patio set that I had ordered about a month earlier)

Lowe's poor managment

As a contractor I get no discount. I spent over 1000 dollars. They said I had to spend 5000 dollars to get 10 perceve nt discount. I hav not a lar account so they already have me on the hook. I never recieve any coupons. A freind of mine, n thousot a contractor or account holder. He recieves discount coupons every month. That what I get for spending a couple thousand dollars every month. I will be cutting my lar account card. Thank you fotr your customer no service...

Lowe's scam and cheating

I ordered hardwood pellets for my stove. I paid for them on a Friday. No problem 37 tons in stock. Monday the delivery shows up with the cheaper softwood pellets. I told the driver that I ordered hardwood pellets. He called the store then told me that they sold out of the hardwood pellets. I told him take them back. I called corporate and was told the store manager would get back to me. I got a call saying there was a mistake. The hardwood pellets were in the warehouse. I gave them a hour to get the right pellets to me. They did. I let them know I wasn't happy about this. All I get is "it was a mistake and they corrected it. I'm sure if the pellets were delivered to someone who didn't check, they would have received a cheaper product and possibly not known the difference. I can see the wrong pellets being loaded. But to be told that they were all sold out after I discovered it, doesn't fly. Especially when they did have what I ordered at the store.

I ordered an exterior door with 'professional' installation. They ordered the wrong door, the installer (Ron Grub) arrived late, unprepared, and left early with job unfinished for first install appt. Was a no-show no-call for the second appt. Forgot parts on the third install appt, and was late for the fourth (and I hope final) install appt. I've called Lowes for assistance in getting the install completed and they've been of little help. Since I had to pay up front for the whole thing I guess there was no incentive. I will never do business with the Terre Haute Lowes again. If you find that you have to and they refer you to Ron Grub as a 'professional' installer, get a prescription for valium because you'll need it.

I went to Lowes in Miami Lakes, that store is very clean and organize we went with my husband to do first installation and they called some one Evelin Olivera and she hardly speaks english and also she has a very bad actitud, seems like she had more important things to do than help and talk to the customers.

We had a couple of questions for her she did not know and she was bad informed later on her supervisor took over and did a good job with us and the questions we have were answer.

When we were ready to pay we went to customer service and a lady Vanesa asked if was some thing wrong, we just told her how bad we feld about this lady and the experience with her, she said no matter what we wil do she always will be fine since the managmet team will protect her, we never paid the installation agreedment and walk out of the store and we went to the competition.

This lady in customer service said that they are many cases in the store like this with other employees but the friendship inside the store goes beyong that and bad employees get away with murder, because of the things that going on such a personal friendship between employees and the people incharge, thats why they don't feel confident on say the complaint to no one else and tried to talk to the customer out of any complaint, my personal opinion, Lowes need to change employees and managers around so no one will do such a friendship where the customer is the one who waks away for ever and very unhappy or they need to be out the job for good and get better people, profesional and caring.

Lowe's worst customer service

Lowe's of chicago-brickyard, il, #1845
2630 n. Narragansett avenue
Chicago, il 60639
The worst customer service I have ever experience in us. I was treated like a criminal for opening a box before I buy it. Several associates were around and nobody asked me if I needed help. When I opened the box a women started accusing me in all kinds of things. Don’t buy from them.

Can't you read English? Why do you have to open the box? You should know better than to open the box...nobody wants to buy open boxes because they maybe missing something. That's is the reason people open sealed boxes is to take something out. Otherwise they can't read the box which is printed with the contents enclosed. What's your reason? You didn't give it in your complaint. So now you defaced the merchandise. Every person afterwards will have to check if something has been removed...or worse discover it after they arrive home. How many times has that happen? Do not open the boxes. Period. Anywhere...anytime.
If the shoe fits ... wear it. Do you need a translation?

###! LOWE's is so paranoid about a lawsuit they won't even confront shoplifters unless they have videotape and 6 witnesses. Sounds like you were feeling guilty or just paranoid or maybe you just feel like this normally. maybe a valium or something stronger like a bullet will put you out of your misery.

Lowe's installation of countertops

we purchased cupboards and had them installed july4th and picked out sink & faucet & granite countertops.They called one day & said we need to come down & buy a sink, which we thouht we piced out earlyer.So we drove down and no one there to help us in kitchen dpt.So we bought a sink so they could ship to countertop people. then later they said the faucet would not be in until 09/09/2008 and that they would ship both when the faucet came in. So we waited weeks & one day they called & said that the sink would not fit under counter & that the faucet did not come in, So they said they took the store faucet store sample down & I told them they would have to solve the problem on the sink. What a nightmare on elmstreet if iam going to spend $13, 000 it will be in a different store. We were suppose to get $750.00 rebate but they sent $500.00 What a joke. WE are still waiting on countertops. I sure am Glad i know alot of people IM going to spread the word if you know what i mean !

Lowe's useless furniture warranty

Bought 3 patio love seats from Lowes, still under warranty when button on back cushion fell off.

Called distributor - none left, no help. Manufacturer is overseas, no help. Called Lowe's Customer Assistance, no help.

Called store Manager where we bought them, no help: None in stock, can't replace. WILL reimburse cost of whole seat if returned, but then we can't replace with matching one (bad solution). Won't reimburse for repair, even though Lowe's warranty states "We will, at our sole discretion, REPAIR IT (caps mine), replace it, or refund your money based on your method of payment."

We're stuck with defective furniture. Nice.

We're no longer Lowe's customers.

Lowe's horrible paint

We added a 700 sqft addition to our home using over a dozen gallons of primer and Valspar paint from Lowe's. We painted the room, then installed the floor, thus giving the paint over a week to dry. One year later, we moved a chair that was in the corner, and it was stuck to the paint on the wall. We pulled the chair away and chunk of wall/paint came off. We also had the same problem with picture frames; paint stuck to the back, causing the pictures to stick to the wall. We literally had to pry the frames off. I send both an e-mail and written letter, hoping for an apology and maybe an explanation, but nothing. It's just horrible paint, and even worse customer service.

Lowe's poor installation of shed

I purchased a shed to be installed by Lowes contractors on 8/10/07, Total price $1806.21. After installation the floor was weak and now the shed has shifted and the door is hard to open without lefting it up.

I have called Lowes, went to Lowes, my son has gone there on a daily basis trying to get this resolved. I talk to Mr. Jim Konkel at Lowes Easton and he promise me he would get this matter taken care of.

Someone came to my house (didn't call) to look at the shed. They told me to take everything out of the shed and they would be back on that Monday.
They did not show. I call and still no show. My son went to the store and a
couple days later they came(did not call) a board was place under the shed and this still did not solve the problem. The door is still hard to open and the back of the shed floor is weak.

The only way this shed can be corrected is to take it down and put it up again.

I am so tired of dealing with trying to have it corrected until I would rather
Lowes come and take it down and give me a refund.

I don't want anyone to come to my home again without calling and if this matter is not resolved Iam going to close my account and shop elsewhere.

Lowes had no problems taking my money and this was paid in full at the time of ordering, but I can get their attention to correct an error now.

This will be turned over to my attorney and if necessary the BBB.

Lowe's employee smelled of drugs

I recently went into the Lowe's Home Improvement Store in Southport North Carolina where I live. I went to look at the birdhouses in the seasonal dept. I asked an employee there for help and saw on his nametag his name was Patrick. He seemed a little dazed as I was asking him questions and I smelled the distinct smell of marijuana on him.

Lowe's needs to better drug test their employees. As a result, this store will no longer have my business. I was very disgusted at this episode.

Lowe's just totally upset

Not too long ago I purchased a refrigerator from the lowes in rock hill, sc, and when they FINALLY delivered it, (in which they were days late from the delivery day they promised us) when they came to my home brought it in, unpackaged it, and they were moving it, they ripped up my floor in my kitchen, and whoops is all they could say, called the store and told them I would be out there to pick up a kit to fix it. What the heck, they should have been more careful, and expecting me to come out there and pick up some kit that was wrong, I did it, but now I am an ex-customer of any Lowes, especially rock hill.

I purchased a $159 Extended Protection Plan for my Whirlpool Washer. The paint is peeling off. A Lowe's service technician and a customer representative from Lowe's Service Advantage said it was misapplication by the manufacturer. However, Lowe's is breaking their legal contract with myself and calling is "cosmetic damage" (please reference Lowe's EPP contract). WARNING! Do not purchase an Extended Protection Plan from Lowe's! Purchase one directly from the manufacturer. I wanted to file a small claim against Lowe's; however, the filing costs were over $100.

I was promised delivery of a ''fridge this morning. When I called at 11.20 a.m. to make sure the delivery team were on their way I was told that they had not left yet but "were working on it".
There are other things people have to do other than waiting for a delivery to show up.

I can't work outside because they have my land line number and insist on calling up before they deliver. I had ask for a ballpark delivery time when ordering the goods but they wouldn't be tied down; if they had even told me when deliveries begin (since this is apparently not very soon in the day) I could have done the other things I needed to do first.

Now it looks as though I might not get anything else at all done today - and I'm wondering if they will show up at all.

All they have to do is bring in our 'fridge and plug it in, maybe they will balance the legs. I have already emptied my old fridge and there are food items and one medication that need to stay refrigerated. I've moved the old fridge outside single-handedly to save them (and me) time. They just need to show up!

I've deliberately waited until 12 Noon before submitting this complaint, as their promise was, after all restricted to delivering "in the morning". Now it is Noon and they are officially in default of their promise.

Despite the hassle I believe I will be making my own deliveries. They have only to come less than six miles and charge $55 to even drop anything off!

She is nick name the Princess by most of the employee's at Lowe's. The Lowe's store manager allows it to happen, because his is an idiot! She came in as a seasonal employee. She was too lazy to pick up an insert that had fallen onto the floor, so she stepped on it and shoved it under a skid. Now she has head cashier rights no thanks to the big idiot store manager. We are suppose to clock in with our vest or apron on, but no in her case. She clocks in with no vest or apron on, because she is the princess. When she is late she will decline the punch in an make some excuse why she was not able to punch in on time. She is power hungry and treat some employee like ### in front of customers. Customers are in disbelief. She is impatient, rude, lazy and dishonest, but the big idiot store manager will keep her! She love to sit in customer service and do nothing. She will walk around the store and do nothing when she is acting head cashier. Basic getting paid from Lowe's for doing nothing! Lowe's really know how to waste money on this employee, no thanks to the store manager! There is this fact that she will steal the head cashier keys when she can get the chance to do so. That way she can just stand there and look pretty and now she has the power, because she has the keys. But Lowe's will keep this employee, The Princess!

I just found out that a Seasonal-Student is paid a lot more than the Part -Timers. The Seasonal-Student started in 2017, less than 2 years ago. That person is being paid $10.60 an hour. I work all year round and have been with Lowe's for 6 years. I'm still getting paid under $10 an hour. It's almost a dollar more than I get paid. I'm struggling to see how to pay my mortgage and utilities! What's wrong with this picture! What is Lowe's thinking. Lowe's steal hours from the Part-Timers and cut them down to 10 hour per week and gives them to the Seasonal-Students. Seasonal-Students even are given more than 10 hours a week. They will not be living out on the streets, like I will be very soon. They still have a home to go back to! Not happy at all concerning this matter. Lowe's treat their loyal Part-Timers like dirt or ###! Lowe's treat the Seasonal-Students like gold! : ( Lowe's need to pay your Part-Timers more! A lot of Part-Timer are very upset of the whole situation!

May 2017 floors were installed in my home by Lowe's located in Newburgh, NY. During installation by contractor's they broke a pipe in the bathroom. The pipe was incorrectly fixed which caused cracking in the Marble floors that were installed. Lowe's was contacted by myself in December 17, 2017. On 1/12/08 Contractor Danny came to my residence and removed several tiles from the bathroom. On 1/21/08 Uptown Contracting Company was scheduled to come to my home to repair the broken pipe. This company never showed. On 1/23/08 a complaint was filed by myself. I called Lowe's Corporate Office on 1/23/08 and spoke with Ruth she administered complaint # [protected]. Approx. two weeks later the pipe was fixed On 2/4/08 Contractor Danny put cement on the floors and stated he would return in 48 hours to tile the floors. He never returned. To date we have no floors and Lowe's did not return our money.

When attempting to check out at the Lowes Store located at W. 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN, only one cashier line was open. Several customers were waiting to be helped. The man in front of me asked a store employee if she was opening another line and she said "yes." We went to the line she indicated and she began to wait on this man and then told me that I had to go to the cashier next to her who had just opened up. I had to go to the back of the line. When it was my turn to be served, the cashier simply walked away leaving me standing there. The cashier who had told me to move to that line was waiting on customers who had been behind me. I put down the items I planned to purchase and stated "I guess I am leaving." People behind me said the same thing. I have spent close to $25, 000 at Lowes over the past couple of years. I had just finished working a 14 hour shift and wasted an hour in the store. They have lost a good customer through their employees' rudeness.

Head Cashiers has no concerns about their Loaders getting Heat Stroke. They (Lowe's, Managers, Human Resources, or Head Cashiers) do not give Loaders enough time or frequency to allow them to get their core temperature down or allow them to drink enough water to get rehydrated. Lowe's makes this great speech about "Safety" and how important it is. Concerning this matter they lie, lie, and lie. They prefer a person to pass out and still will not admit to it, because they have idiots in charge of their stores. Lowe's apparently do not care about their hard working employees getting Heat Stroke and Collapse! Come on people wake up and think of what you are doing! We are talking about 90 degree temperatures and a heat index of 100%. How Stupid can you be!

I ordered 9 pieces of sheet rock and 1 piece of plywood (which took over 45 minutes they were short handed on a sunday as usual. Delivery was $49.00 ( I found this out after waiting over 25 minutes for someone at the pro desk who never did answer) and I was willing to pay it even though it was $45.00 less for the same delivery and materials at McCoys because I was told they would bring the materials in my house and being a woman I couldn't handle carrying all of it by myself. The morning of the delivery no delivery. It wasn't until the afternoon he finally called and said he was going to drop it in the driveway. I said I paid to have it delivered inside and he said he was only 1 person and it would be an additional $2.00 a sheet and I would have to wait for anther delivery day until they had 2 guys. After speaking to the store manager the only thing she was willing to do was refund my money and credit me back. If you're looking for customer service don't shop at Lowes in Killeen or either in Temple (their delivery charge was $69.00). Go to a real lumber yard. I learned my lesson.

I have a problem with this lowe's on west colonial. They are not professional people, I must admit there are a couple there but not many. You can never get any help on the sales floor. The management sucks after there was no help in the department i was in I went to the front to get someone to help me. The young lady got me an manager and she was not any help at all she had no knowledge and seemed to be very confrused. Again this was a manager she was very breif and short with helping me which really didn't help at all. But as I left out the door I looked around and saw alot of red vest satnding around the front door talking and laughing with the manager. There were two cashiers working with lines long. But we had about 5-6 people at the door talking. This is why I hate coming in lowe's poor customer service. I must say out of the whole lowe's store there are two young ladies that always stand out with great customer service is Taniesha and Sara. When they are not there I don't like going there. Two of lowe's best assets, very nice ladies wish everyone was like them.

The overnight manager at lowes "kim mynok" is the cruelest pettiest individual who has ever been in a supervisor position at this company. she picks on her overnight crew if she does not like them and lies to upper management about their work performance in order to get them fired. she is verbally abusive to everyone and especially picks on a disabled employee named steve kondus. steve kondus suffered a stroke a few years back and works hard to provide for his ederly mother! everyone works hard overnight's with the exception of kim mynok and her assistant mike trata. these two so called supervisor's sit in the back room the entire shift and put 99% of the work load on everybody else!

As I have already mentioned kim mynok is verbally abusive and holds unprofessional grudges against people she does not like. she does everything she can including moving freight in to the wrong bays to make the people she does not like look bad. this has caused people to get into trouble and lose their job!

Mike trata, her assistant does exactly what she say’s including the harassment of employee's she does not like. he does this so that she will give him a good review and a raise, not because its justified!
Let me restate that it has nothing to do with work performance.

All of the night crew associate's work hard with the exception of kim mynok and mike trata.
The most important thing I am trying to get accross is that kim mynok is abusive and unprofessional to her subordinates and deserves to be fired along with mike trata post haste!

Going to upper management does not help because they listen to kim mynok and mike trata not the associate!

Lowe's installment estimate

I went to Lowe's for an estimate to on deck work on May 3, 2008. I paid $35 for an estimate. On May 10, the sub contractor contacted by Lowe's came to look at the deck and take measurements. At the end of the visit he indicated he would fax in the estimate to Lowe's on Monday the 12th and I should hear from them soon after that. Well, I really didn't expect that I would hear from Lowe's on the 12th. However, I did expect the hear from them soon afterword, but did not. On Friday, May 23rd, I called Lowe's to find out where my estimate was. I was told that the sub-contractor had not turned in his estimates or supply needs. The woman I spoke said she would fax the subcontracor to find out what was happening and someone would call me on Tuesday. Well Tuesday came and went without any response.

On June 1st, I emailed Lowe's stating if I was not going to get an estimate I wanted a refund. Again, Lowe's did not respond. On June 12th, I called Lowe's and again was told that the subcontractor was the hold up. I said I wanted a refund if I was not going to get an estimate. Within 10 minutes, I got a call back saying my estimate was ready.

So the next day I went to Lowe's. I told the person that I was unhappy with the service and was questioning if I should go with Lowe's and their subcontractor based on the fact I had been told twice that the subcontractor had not done the estimate on a timely basis. Well, this guy who is supposed to be the manager, says he and the sub contractor had been working on the estimate for over a month and whoever told me that sub contractor wasn't responding didn't read the notes in the computer. What?

Next I said I wanted to take the estimate home to think it over. The Manager said he had to ask someone else if he could give me the estimate to take home. WHAT?! I finally he gave me the estimate.

The next day I found out why he didn't want to give me the paperwork. It was dated May 25th and expires on 6/24.

I work for a company that sells to retail store. If anyone ever gave this type of customer service, they would be fired.

I have once again emailed Lowe's corporate headquarters about their lack of customer service. Not that I expect them to respond.

Update:

I got an email on 6/20 from Lowe's corp. It stated someone from the store would contact me within 48 hours. The next day there were 2 messages on my answering machine. The first was from the store manager and the second was from the department manager (the guy who had lied straight to my face). I called the store and asked for Dan the store manager. I was told he had left for the day. I called the following day, 2 days later and 3 days later. Each time I was told the manager had left. Then today 6/25, I got a call from Amanda at Lowe's asking me if I was going to except the estimate. I explained to her how unhappy I was with the service. She told me that Lowe's had called me numerous times about the estimate. I was livid. I told her 3 calls prompt my either my calls or email I do not consider numerous. She also stated that Lowe's had fired the sub contractor because of numerous problems. Well, if that were the case wouldn't she have start with that information first. Anyway's I was able to get my full refund tonight. They first offered me a refund in the form of a gift card, but I explained since I would never shop there again I wanted cash and that is what I got.

Lowe's they're charging deposit but won't return it

Lowes is charging for water bottles $13.99, if you return a bottle it is $6.99.I got rid of my water cooler and brought my empty bottles back and was told that they are worth nothing. They said it is not a deposit but a promotion. I paid $7.00 for those bottles and I don't care what they call it they need to return my money or give me store credit. I call it stealing.

Then to and insult to injury the customer service representative said I did not know what I was talking about because he owned a package store for many years and there is no deposits on water in Ct. My family also had owned a package store for years and if we charged a fee for a bottle we would have to return it.

It is a deposit that should be refunded or it should be clearly spelled out that it is not refundable. Class action lawsuit anyone?

Lowe's lack of customer service

For some reason, it is next to impossible to get anyone to answer the phone at this Lowe's location in Brooklyn. I wanted to order an expensive appliance from them and just called to see if it was in stock. For several days, I couldn't get anyone to answer the phone in the appliance department or the manager’s office. I'm glad I took my business elsewhere because God forbid I ordered it and needed to call someone there for a problem. This location is sorely lacking in customer service - try another or better yet, Home Depot or PC Richard.

I totally agree about the lack of customer service! I saw a few girls too busy talking instead of helping me and other customers check out. One was standing in customer service talking and laughing and another one was standing near a door talking and laughing to a guy with a blue thing on. I will never return to this store again!

Lowe's lowes color matching system

I bought some tester paints from a branch of lowes using one of their color chips and took the paints home and liked them, so we bought 2 one gallon cans of the paints from another lowes store. we took those home and found they did not even remotely match the testers, even though the same color chip was used. I took them back and the customer services manager was incredibly rude. They kept sending us back and forth between the paint dept and customer services. They admitted that the ads shown on tv and on hgvt.com about lowes color matching system is a lie. they also told me that they could not match the paint chip i wanted even though it was from their store. their machines vary from store to store and are calibrated differently. After alot of argument, they finally gave us a refund and then said we had to buy more paint with the refund. I walked out, vowing never to buy paint there again. The paint dept said they get frustrated because customers are mislead by the ads and they cannot color match items brought in. Isn't it illegal to mislead people like this? The ads should all be pulled.

Yes, agreed that Lowe's Valspar paint does not match their in-store color chart. Its usually two shades lighter which can be very frustrating. Its best to paint it on a same piece of wood in the store and take it home to color match, etc. I too had to go through this painful process.

Lowe's incompetence

Incompetence... Geezz I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed the absolute ignorance of Lowe’s employees. Train these people already! I have a number of experiences with these idiots and have finally come to the point of saying no more. From the person who attempts to help you on any aisle, to the customer service centre. Just go somewhere else to submit your hard earned dollar... Or wait... and wait... and wait for either an answer to a question or, God forbid, you buy an appliance of some sort and want it loaded or...delivered, or just simply the right one brought from the back. Save yourselves alotta trouble and just buy somewhere else...

Probably [censor] store out in the boonies that no one else wants to do either but needs to be covered. Other installers probably agreed reluctantly to take store, now it wouldn't be fair for them to take the [censor] store and you get whatever you want. Double edge sword either way...or maybe the AIM's just a power hungry dick..who knows

So you know everything about everything? The store manager only needs to know how to manage people. Do you know how to hook up a 4 prong dryer cord? without looking at a book. can a range cord be interchanged with a dryer cord? I bet if someone ask you, you would have to ask someone else. Go to home depot or Menards They must have smarter people there.

Incompetence on the store manager! He is a complete idiot! He can not answer a question I had. He had to call another person over to help me with my question. He is not very informed for a store manager. As a store manager you should know every aspest of all your departments. All he knows how to do is talk like a used car saleman. They irritate me to no end! I will spread to word to my friends to never come back !

I work in retail and I'm sooooo sick of people complaining about stuff like this. People are so self-centered they think that they are the only people in the store...very annoyed maybe you should stay out of ALL retail stores.
