“United States Marine fired for going on active duty with permission. Lowes called it no call no show. These are the men willing to die for our country. Do not support these stores! Said they don't know how the military works. News flash. 1 weekend every month. And 2 weeks once a year. Not real difficult. Come on support our men that serve our country.”

“We were wanting to purchase vinyl board lifetime warranty flooring. Lowe’s has started subbing out the measuring process to Kelly Services. The lady that measured our house told us that we should hear from them on Tuesday. On Saturday I called them. The guy had no measurements and he would have to wait until Monday to talk them about our measurements. No one called when he said he would. Then we go on vacation and he starts calling. I tried to call him back and he didn’t answer. So he finally gets back with us and he said we had to choose our product. We chose it the day we went into to Lowes and asked them to come out and measure. He said, “Why didn’t you take a picture or get a sample?” I explained I shouldn’t have to take a picture and a sample was never offered. I also told him I had had nothing but trouble with this process since it started. So I went back in the next day and took a picture and called him and gave it to him. He finally called by about two days later and wanted me to go over it with him. We were going over it and he smarted off a snide response about my attitude and I hung up on him. I don’t have to listen to him when Lowes process was not following through the way they were supposed to. We went and got our flooring from someone else and it will be laid tomorrow. I do not like that you have to deal with four different people before getting your flooring from Lowe’s. First the guy at the store screwed up and didn’t write up right. Second the lady that measured my house messed up and didn’t send the measurements. Third your guy working from home had an attitude and did not try to work things out. I never got to the installation process and now Lowes has missed a good sale and has me telling people about my negative experience. I already had kitchen cabinets put in by Lowe’s but there won’t be anything else done by them. It was an awful experience!”

“The night before we were at the Shawnee Oklahoma Lowes and saw several brands of linoleum that was on sell. We asked the sales associate if there was any left and they assured me there was plenty pointing to the “in stock” sticker. We are doing a major renovation to our home and decided to come back that very next morning to purchase 30 linear feet. Long story short, borrowed a truck and rented a trailer and get there at opening time that next morning. Turns out it wasn’t NONE of the items were in stock and had not been for WEEKS! The associate (who took 20 minutes to respond to “assistance needed) rambled on about “ya they knew they were out but we keep the signs up because….” ???! We called around to all the other LOWES and got the same run around. BAIT AND SWITCH AT ITS WORST. We were not the only people there with that same complaint. I think I will just switch to the local yard. Not as cheap but they don’t lie to your face and waste your time.”

“Had never bought anything from them before but ordered online a new push mower like the one I have. Got mine working ok so wanted to cancel order that was in transit shipping. Called customer service twice about it. Both times customer service was superior. Very helpful and walked me through my options to get new one returned FedEx and get my credit card reimbursed. I don’t believe I’ve had better customer service and helpful people with any other company.”

“Too bad there isn't a minus grade! Ordered a black stainless steel whirlpool dishwasher at the Saratoga, NY Lowes. Installed it, went to put the handle on, discovered it was plain chrome. Checked the model#. It was the model below the one we paid for! Called the store. The guy in appliances became hostile so I asked to be transferred to customer service. He said I'd have to call back and hung up. Customer service was no help so I called corporate. That guy opened a case, refunded the difference plus some to match Home Depots price, and told me to bring the handle with the case # to the store and they would replace it with a black stainless one. Right. Ten days after my husband saw the manager, he called to see if the handle was in. He was told the black would not fit as the higher model was different dimensions. Not true. They are exactly the same, i had already researched it. Back to corporate, who sent me to whirlpool who, bless thier hearts, sent me the handle (although to the wrong address, so they sent it again. This time the wrong handle) it's been 6 weeks and still dealing with this. We have shopped Lowes for 30 years. Never again. We cut up our cards.”

“I recently purchased a washer and dryer from Lowe’s the day they delivered it and set it up. We went to use it and the basket in the washing machine drop out of the bottom of the washer. They said they would contact us in 24 hours to get a replacement to say they never called back after I called every day and they cannot connect to the distribution center the distribution center, which is a third-party was not answering their phone. I didn’t change it. Take the washing machine back and refund my money. It’s been 17 days they have not picked up the washer nor refund my money , I would advise anybody looking to purchase anything from Lowe’s to go elsewhere. I have now taken steps with Visa to get a credit for the washing machine. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with in my 65 years.”

“We continue to have issues with a flooring installation at our home since October 2023. We did the entire first floor of our home with carpet and flooring. The material has been good so far; however, the installation workmanship was very low quality. We have tried to work through the Lowes store and their installation contractor but have not received a serious response. We have sent multiple descriptions and pictures of the install but have only received delays, excuses and avoidance. There have been several instances that we are promised "someone' will call or a work order was created to address the issue, only no one calls. When we followed up, we were told they stopped the work order and didn't even tell us. Last Friday we were told someone would call on Tuesday to set up an appointment, it's now Wednesday evening and still no one has called. Their customer satisfaction is absolutely terrible. We are so sorry and upset we contracted with Lowes and will not purchase major products or projects from them again.”

“The fantastic employees at my store in Mechanicsburg. I have been dealing there since I moved here and built my new home. The girls at the customer service desk go out of their way to help you. They are so knowledgeable and friendly in particular. Melissa T, Mason and Pam. It is a pleasure to shop the store. The employees are so knowledgeable and I have never been disappointed. Thanks again from a very happy, happy customer Cherie.”

“I like Lowes actually but when I went in to buy some plexiglass and have it cut there was a sign that said “out of order”. OK I said. these things happen but after going to 2 other Lowes and seeing other “out of order“signs on the same machine I realized it should have said “We are understaffed and no one can help you now.”I could accept that except the gas I wasted going all over the city to the other Lowes and in my frustration I bought a sheet of plexiglass and tried to cut it myself at home and screwed it up. now I’m out $50 bucks and gas because they weren’t honest with me. Maybe there was a simultaneous breaking down of ALL the plexiglass cutters in all the Lowes but I doubt it.”

“Lowe's is absolutely the worst place to go to for flooring, and as I have learned, pretty much. Anything else. There customer service is horrible. Been try to find out what's going on with my flooring. I constantly get told someone will call you. Nobody ever calls. Or I get told, I can't find the order. Mind you. This is in stock items. Not special order. Now I see they sent via email, to my husband info that is 200.00 more than the contract I signed. That is total butt. So I have to watch they don't take more from my account. Again, when I contact them. They say. Someone will be in touch with you shortly to explain the difference. Again, nobody calls. I will never use Lowe's again. And will steer anyone I know away from them.”

“I used to be 100% lowes. I got a card with them and about 6 years it got hacked. They canceled my current card and said they would send me a new card. It has been 3 months and still no new card. I got a letter saying that they are canceling the account due to inactivity. Now I have to reapply and get a credit inquiry on my credit score if I want to have a new card. My business is going elsewhere”

“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.”

“Customer service is the worst they don't know how to answer the phone. I think these big businesses should take all of their phones out in put them in the garbage because the workers don't answer the phones anyway.”

“They just delivered and installed a new LG washer. After install people left my wife started a load. Water poured out all over the floor. I got in touch with the install people and they came back. All the connections were fine--the washer is defective. All he said in broken English was call customer service and don't use. Am in 20th minute on hold waiting for "customer service". Buyer beware. Lowe's will sell you a broken product and strand you.”

“Lowe’s in Rocky Mount NC. The absolute amazing supervisor and two employees went above and beyond their duty to help me to get a patio table. The best customer service I have had in a long time. Keep up the great work. Thank you so much for your help and customer service.”

“I bought a "New" impact drill kit from the PaducahKentucky store. After opening the package I noticed I was missing parts. While on the phone with customer service and further inspection of drill I noticed the drill was used. Handle was cracked and also was off set from the other side. Further more it was covered in black suet. Customer service pretty much told told me I was out of luck and would have to drive the 90 mile round trip to return to the store. Also I had a broken razor knife with a "Hassle Free Gaurantee" I was told in the store that they no longer carry that exact knife and would not replace it. Very disappointed.”
