Lowe's Damaged Door

Order #[protected]

We ordered the door and had it shipped. Once we received the door and was able to inspect it, we noticed that on both sides of the door frame, there are chunks of wood missing from where the delivery had it strapped to the box truck. It is not on just one side of the door but both. There is no way of fixing this but to have to purchase new trim work to replace it.

Desired outcome: Credit towards purchase reimbursed.

We started a tile floor project in November 2021 through Lowes. I payed the total amount to the floor department on November 2nd with my Lowe's card. The employee ordered all the materials and had them sent to our home. The project was completed in December having excess mortar left over. Since we were planning on having the remainder of the house tiled, we...

We have tried repeatedly to get help from Lowes : our refrigerator door gasket keeps coming off. Purchased 2019. Most recent repair appointment was February 2022. The serviceman replaced it previous to that date but it did not fix the issue. Another serviceman in February 2022 ordered a new door, but this was disallowed/cancelled by warranty plan. No one...

Lowe's Delivery failure

Ordered an EGO Power+ Lawn Mower (LM2135sp) online from the Matamoros, PA store. It was delivered used, with grass and dirt on all the parts. I called to have it replaced and was told it came from the newton, NJ store. Called newton and spoke with the delivery manager, Victoria. She promised the used mower would be picked up the next day (Sunday) but could not deliver a new mower until the used one was received or I purchased a new mower. I refuse to purchase a second mower because they were at fault. No one came to pick up the used mower on Sunday and I called back and spoke to Jessica, the operations manager, because deliver was closed for the day. Jessica promised to call me back when she 'figured' out what happened. She never did. I called back Monday and Jessica is out and no one is picking up in delivery.

This is unacceptable customer service. Why am I doing all this work for your mistakes?

Desired outcome: I want my new mower delivered ASAP. I want the used mower picked up ASAP. and you what? I want compensation for my trouble too.

Lowe's Unable to change address after shipment

I have noticed that my old address was on my order when I received the shipping information. I called to have it changed and they will not change it because it was shipped. But it is just the label created and not in the hands of FedEx. They are telling me to wait until it is delivered and dispute the charge. FedEx allows delivery address to be changed but it has to come from the shipper. Not sure why Lowes would not make sure they have a way to change addresses for shipment.

Desired outcome: Change the delivery address

Lowe's Pine trees

To whom it may concern:

I purchased 4 small pine trees at the Medford Lowe’s store. A year has passed and the trees barely are growing and seem half dead.

I take special care of all my plants in my garden and find it shocking that they are in this condition!

I've been giving them the proper amount of food and fresh water.

So I decided to stop by Medford Lowe’s and explained the situation, along with my tags and receipt, and the cashier, tried to help by scanning the tags to reimburse me, but no luck. The cashier then proceeded to get the manager.

The manager really did not help much, to my surprise he loudly blamed me of careless keeping, stating that I must of neglected them by not watering them enough. I was upset, embarrassed, and annoyed, all at the same time of his insinuations.

That's why I'm contacting Lowe’s Corporate, I have confidence that hopefully you can either reimburse me or replace the damaged trees.

Your efforts will be gladly appreciated!

Thank you!

Desired outcome: Reimburse or Replacement

Lowe's Delivery & store communications

May 13, 2022:

I want to report the Pompano Beach Store and their inability to deliver merchandise when you (the store) and the delivery company agreed to deliver. I purchased $13,000 of appliances and carpet that I have cancelled as of today in person myself with the store manager for failure of delivery at the stated committed time. This was the hair that broke the camels back that lead to a total breakdown on my part. I will be cancelling my newly opened Lowes account and I will never shop in your store again!

BTW, the Pompano Beach store also needs a person to answer the phone. I called 4 times yesterday, they never answered the line the first 3 calls and the 4th call, when your Corporate office forwarded me to the store, they picked up the receiver and hung it up without saying a word!

I’m addition, your computer system tracking orders needs help (and I have a friend that this very thing happened to earlier this week in an Orlando area store). When I called the Corporate office for help they could not locate my order by my telephone number, insisting I gave the store a different number. I spoke with a manager last night in the Pompano store and he also could not find my order via my phone number! Both of them could only pull the order up through the delivery system.

Dianne Smith

PS: This is not the first time that we have had delivery issues with your company, but the third. The last store that had delivery issues was located in Big Rapids MI. I vowed to write a complaint on that store, and I let it go. This time I’ve submit the complaint and will not allow myself to be put in that position again by your Company.

Desired outcome: Full refund, including fees. An apology and something for my inconvenience and hardship.

Lowe's 4 year EPP purchased on Apr 28, 2019

I purchased a Husqvarna Garden tractor from Lowes and opted for the 4 year EPP. Little did I know that the Lowes Plan only kicks in after the manufacturer warranty expires, Husqvarna warranty is bumper to bumper for 3 years. So in essence I paid $369.97 for one year of warranty and can't even use it as of today.

On May 11, 2022 I needed to file a claim and called their EPP # [protected]. On May 11, 2022 I held for over one hour and never was connected with a rep, but was told via recording how important my call was.

On May 12, 2022 I have been on hold for over 45 minutes and waiting.

What good does does purchasing something do if you can't use it.

I am beyond frustrated, and an considering entering a complaint with my CC complaint or asking for a refund.

I WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN EPP FROM LOWES AGAIN.

Desired outcome: Please refund Invoice # [protected], $369.97. Dated Apr 28, 2019

Lowe's Lowe's Protection

I have been trying to schedule an appointment for service on my Samsung Range. I have been placed on hold each time. I bought the Samsung Range in 2016. The oven has been giving me problems for about two years. Last year a repairman was sent out, but belittled me and said that nothing was wrong with the oven. My Protection Plus is over in June and why should I renew if I cannot get service? You can bet that My appliances will be bought somewhere other than Lowes from now on. I have been a loyal customer since the store opened in Milledgeville.

Desired outcome: I need to schedule a repair

Lowe's Protection plan

I want this issue resolved asap because I could not store my food. I have kids and its getting very tough for me to manage.

Lowe's Dishwasher Warranty

Bought a 5 year warranty with the dishwasher in 2019. In February of this year, the upper rack collapsed and the front wheels on the top rack both broke off. They were held on using a plastic axle.

Called for service and waited. Called again 4 weeks later and was told that there were no ISP's in my area, but they were putting in the request again and I would hear back within 10 business days.

Called again 3 weeks later and was told that my dishwasher did not qualify for warranty work as the breaking of the top rack was normal wear and tear. Then the agent told me that when the service technician came out to the house that was how they determined this. I told the agent that NO SERVICE TECH had been out to the house yet. She checked and said that she found that was true but the records said that the upper rack breaking was just a part of normal wear and tear and that they would send a tech out to examine it and let us know for sure if it was not covered.

Called on 2022-04-26, and Angela told me that they had requested an ISP visit 3 times and all 3 were rejected because the ISP's were at capacity, so she would escalate the case and have the dishwasher replaced. She said I would be hearing back from an escalation manager within 48 hours.

It's 14 days later, I have been on hold with the service center again for 32 minutes and have no heard from ANYONE at Lowe's.

Have had Lowe's warranties for years, and this is the ONLY time you've completely failed at honoring the warranty. Everyone along the way has dropped the ball here.

Desired outcome: Give us our money back or give us the credit so we can buy another dishwasher by the end of this week. Also would like the money paid for the warranty back as it did not live up to its promise.

Lowe's Whirlpool dishwasher

Purchased 8/20/2020 and the motor died within a year. It took almost THREE months to get a qualified tech to replace it. It's now less than a year and the dishwasher does not work - possibly the motor again. Called Lowes @[protected] over 3 weeks ago - waited a week to hear from them after giving them all data (they never called back) - and then called last week to find out there was no claim made. Gave ALL the data again, said they would notify me in a day or two ... and still haven't hears. Today, I am waiting on hold, going on 1.5 hours ... and am totally frustrated. I've paid for a protection plan, but it seems useless is nobody cares to help me - and I have to spend hours spinning my wheels and getting zero satisfaction. Do you think someone can PLEASE help me? Thank You. Linda Sterling

Desired outcome: Please allow me to replace with another brand of dishwasher

Lowe's Napolean Propane Grill/Online Purchase

I researched propane grills and eventually decided that a five-burner w/side sear station was the best fit for me. I did further research and found that Lowes carried the Napolean brand grills. My wife communicated this information to my immediate family and they each pitched in for my last two birthdays and 2021 gifts. Together I was gifted a total of five $250 Lowes gift cards. I then decided on the exact model I wanted, Napolean Rogue XT #RXT625SIBPSS-1-A. I then went to the service desk at the local Lowes in Victoria, TX - store #282 and placed the order on 4/28/22, see attached transaction receipt. The ETA for store pickup assigned was 5/6/22. I received a call from Lowes #282 late Wednesday night and immediately thought "my grill has arrived two days early". Unfortunately, the call was to inform me that the grill was unavailable and would not be available ever again. As it was late, I decided not to comment much on the phone. I drove to the same service desk the following afternoon and requested to speak with the manager. The young man was helpful but informed me that the desired grill would no longer be carried by Lowes. I then asked him to look for an alternate four-burner Napolean grill. We located an alternate grill online so I requested we order this version. The manager then informed me that we would be unable to order anything online due to the card being issued me, apparently it is issued for in store credit only. I asked him to convince me and help me understand why I was being penalized for nothing due to my fault. I then asked him to give me a phone number for the Lowes Corporate Office. While still in the Lowes parking lot I called the number and spoke with a lady. She was no further help as she stated the same thing. I asked her also to help me understand why I used gift cards (which can be used for online purchases) and was being victimized by being issued an in store credit. This has been a very frustrating and disappointing experience for me. All I ask is that my request be honored for the propane grill of my desire.

Desired outcome: To be able to make an online purchase of an alternate Napolean grill as attached.

Lowe's LG refrigerator (under warranty)

On April 16th, 2022, our refrigerator made a loud pop and quit. We called Lowe's for a repair appt because we have an extended warranty and fridge is only 1 1/2 years old. Spent over an hour and a half on the line. I don't understand why they can't have a better customer service. Anyhow, an appt. was set for April 22nd between 8am and noon. I sat here until 2pm because I had a doctor's appointment and no one ever showed up. Hubby went to Lowe's and told them what had happened. Long story short, the repair had never been submitted! So, the associate apologized and scheduled another appt. The repair guy came out and said it was the mother board and that it would take up to a month or more to get the part and then, he couldn't guarantee that the compressor would be ok. We went to Lowe's to ask if we could get an exchange or something. Spent 2 hours in there. Associate found another compatible fridge. Corporate said "No". Had to give them "more time" to expedite part. After that required date, went back to Lowe's again and after another nearly 2 hours, was told that we had to wait on their "Care Advantage". Called yesterday and was told that they can't find us in their updated insurance system. Had to submit info and a copy of the receipt! How long is it going to take? I explained to them that I have major medical issues. I am going through chemo and radiation. We bought a cheap mini fridge, but not much room. They refuse to honor their warranty. We are ready to take them to court if something doesn't give soon! Ridiculous!

Desired outcome: New appliance Equivalent to Old Appliance CostReimbursement for Food Lost

I am going through the same thing right now regarding the dishwasher. They scheduled a repair guy to come out he never did show. I wasted a whole day from work to wait on somebody to never show up. The repair guy sent me a text message at 10 o’clock at night asking if he can come by first thing in the morning. I told him absolutely not I have to go to work. Then I scheduled a repair guy for a week later he showed up and ordered a part. Two weeks later he comes and installs it but it doesn’t fix the issue. He also could not take the dishwasher out and told me to call the warranty number and have the somebody from Lowe’s come out and take the dishwasher out . I have been on hold for over five hours over the last couple of days just to end up with their system hanging up on me. The repair guy told me that I should hire a handyman to remove the dishwasher out of pocket. I am heading to Lowe’s in person today because I spent 45 minutes on hold trying to get through to the local store. If this doesn’t work out today I will call news channel 8 to see if they want to do a story on it. If that doesn’t work I will buy another dishwasher and file a small claims case against Lowe’s.

I work for a CEO who does not have time to be on hold for 2 hours each time he calls [protected] to have his dryer repaired. I believe this is the service provider for Lowes it's the worst customer service I've ever experienced. When you ask to speak to a manager they tell you that all the managers are on important calls and a simple request such as to please enter a ticket # so that GE repair service can see that I still have a warranty on my dryer that needs a replace belt is so hard for them to do It is either I have it or, I don't which I do have the warranty. You need better trained staff who are not reading from screens and shorter hold times.

Lowe's Service

Lowes Perrysburg, ohio. 5/5/22 @ 12:30. After shopping for plumbing supplies for redoing all our house lines we were ready to check out. No registers other than self check out was open. After asking for someone to check us out we're told we had to use self check out. Employee stated can't help you then when we refused. Had to leave without our stuff. If they want to give a discount to use it because that saves them money we might consider doing it. Will not shop there anymore.

Desired outcome: Please to all stores, either offer discount or provide some check out people.

Lowe's Whirlpool 2 door pull out freezer

Purchased this item 2 years ago. Have had 2 previous service calls for light problems. This third time the fridge just plain died! Lights come on but no refrigeration. Called Lowes as we had also bought their 5 year extended warranty. After waiting on line for over 45 minutes was able to set up a repair...for 5 days later. Tech came out looked at and said the compressor was out and he would let Lowes know. Waited two days and no word from Lowes. Again, back on hold for again approx. 45 minutes on hold. Asked what they were going to do. We are now 8 days with no fridge. Now they say "Oh those people aren't authorized to service your fridge and will set up another service call. They did 2 days later. We finally had to rent a fridge for any cold items. Tech arrived looked into it and said "No, the compressor is fine there is a fan out". Of course he did not have one and said he would be back as soon as he could get the part. Luckily he got one and returned the next day and in 15 minutes had our fridge running again. Now we had to go through getting the paperwork and photos for the reimbursement of everything that was lost in the fridge and freezer. They only cover $300 but that beats a blank. We are now 3 weeks after submitting the info and pics and have heard nothing. Have sat for two days listening to "How important our call is and continue to hold". and really crappy music if you can call it that. Word to the future buyer...Lowe's paints a pretty picture when selling you a product but when push comes to shove they will leave you high and dry. All they do is hide behind an electrical answering device. If you want screwed go Lowe's ...

Desired outcome: Desired outcome would have been to be able to put everything in this box that we would desire Lowe's to honor!!!

Lowe's No help

Went to Lowes in Sterling Heights, MI for 1 piece of plywood. I wanted it cut in half.

First, the plywood was warped, wet and in the worst shape I have ever seen. All for a price of $50 a 4x8 sheet (Let’s go Brandon).

I waited 45 minutes for a single store associate to come around. I asked 3 different cashiers to get me help. I finally got an answer that ‘both the guys who cut wood are on lunch’. Oh BS! Went to the customer service desk, they did nothing.

Didn’t see a single store associate for the whole 45 minutes I was there. Not a single on your help, you would have thought everyone went on strike or something.

I will never go back. Home Depot will get all my business. It’s a shame, I spend thousands at Lowes. Well, did.
