I had a laminate floor installed in my kitchen a few years ago. The initial install went well, but within days, one of the seams on a transition strip started to pop up, and the uneven area made me trip and almost fall (I'm a senior), as it is in the center of my kitchen. Lowe's sent out a subcontractor to fix the problem area. I believe in all, it was "repaired" twice, by two different workers. Now, here I am experiencing the same exact issue, several years later (it was never fixed properly). To make matters worse, when I was sweeping a few weeks ago, a SECOND transition strip in a different area detached completely, and is now leaning against the wall! I am not sure I would purchase another laminate floor from Lowe's as they seem unable to get this done right!

Today I went to the Lowe’s in Auburndale Fl. @ 5:59 went to the floor and tile department and no one was there but I was able to find what I needed . Went to pay and there were no registers there. Just what I call theft machines. I do get the military discount that I do appreciate, Thank you. But a lady had to come over and scan the back of my driver licenses?? What are you looking for and what are you using the info for. I hope I will never have to do that again. I will only go back to get the bird seed that I can take to the garden shop.

I have had to return 2 items in 2 days that did not have all the parts and one even had the wrong instructions. I'm currently waiting for a dishwasher to be delivered and now I'm concerned that it will be used and missing parts as well. I'm very disappointing, went to return for the 2nd time today and I did not even get an apology . We are in the middle of a remodel and I may just be driving further to go to Homedepot.

The fence measure guy from the contractor missed 2 appointments and I was not notified that he was not coming. So I called Home Depot and they had the measurements the next day and quote and scheduled the installation in a weeks time, as opposed to Lowe’s in 3 weeks.

Very hard to get help at Lowes, I have waited 20 minutes for some one to help me with tiles. Also the website is horrible ,totally confusing, impossible to find anything. I much prefer HD where help is easy to find. Their website is pretty bad also but much better than Lowes.

I had a new washer and dryer delivered. The doors on the washer and dryer hit each other. I asked delivery guys if they could switch the appliances around the one guy was snippy and said then we have to go to truck and get longer hoses he was in a hurry and was mad I asked so I said never mind then. They also left all the Styrofoam all over the floor and threw their garbage on my counters. Left it very messy.

I bought a washing machine and arranged to have it installed. They contracted the delivery and installation with Penske and sent Ray Rodriguez and his assistant. They left without fully testing it and the machine vibrated loudly and moved a lot. When I called to have it fixed, Lowes sent two gentlemen from Kapital transportation who quickly discovered that several mistakes were made. These include improper leveling, failure to remove the drum locks, and improper installation of the drain hose. This poor installation could have caused damage to the machine and home.

I usually don't leave negative reviews. That being said I hope to save others from the frustration that Lowe's creates because they refuse fix the problem of delivery issues. Two stars instead of of one is because they delivered on time, the first time we ordered (washer and dryer) an appliance. The second order was for a fridge. We had to reschedule delivery. They arrived a week late and 3 hours after window without calling. So we figured it was just a one time issue. Then we ordered a cook top and over. This time they didn't show up and no phone call. I called to see where my items were and it turned out the delivery drivers were tired that day and went home early ?! A week later our appliances arrived. I opened the box to see my pretty new cook top. What was in the box was a thousand pieces of broken glass. two weeks later the new cooktop was finally delivered. This one was also broken. The frame was bent and the unit didn't work. We couldn't get it replaced unless we tried to get it fixed first. It was under warranty still I had to get a repairman to come and diagnose the problem, a part was ordered and then I waited a month with out it coming in. After some arguing about who should replace it (the manufacturer or Lowe's) I was given a replacement. This time we went to the store to pick it up. When we arrived I asked them to open the box before we left. It had a big crack down the middle. 40 minute drive to Lowe's 40 minute drive home! re ordered another cooktop finally after 6 months we had a one that was not broken or bent and worked. Well We gave them one more chance because you can't mess up that many times right? Wrong! Ordered a fridge for our garage, August 14th received a text in the evening to be ready for delivery the next day. got a text that morning( Aug 15th) saying thee couldn't deliver. I called to see why and they said it didn't get put on the delivery truck, "we are sorry for the inconvenience". Well it won't be an inconvenience for us again. Please read the reviews. Many other people have had the same issue with deliveries from Lowe's. Pay a little more if you need to, you'll avoid the frustration of incompetent delivery service and they haven't fixed the problem.

On 4/26/2023 I went to the Pittsburgh Mills store in Tarentum, PA to purchase Estate cabinets in the garage storage area. We wanted 2 tall cabinets and 1 base cabinet, there was nobody in the department, so we found an employee (Matt) in the main aisle and asked him for his assistance. He was not happy having to help us because it was not in his department. He scanned the boxes and informed us that the store did not have the base cabinet, but the Monroeville PA store did. We asked him how we could buy the 2 taller cabinets and pick the up the next day, so he referred us to the customer service desk. When we went to the desk the store associate (Melinda) told us to go back to the department and ask someone there to place the order. We explained that we were told to come to the customer service desk to place the order and the Melinda asked us who told us that, Matt happened to be working in the paint aisle and we pointed him out. Melinda went over to him and began telling him it was his job to place the order because he had helped us. They had a discussion as to whose job it was, Melinda told us she would place our order and told Matt to pull the boxes, he again protested because it wasn't his job. Melinda walked away and we asked Matt if Melinda was the store manager and he told us she was a DS just like him. I then went to the Monroeville PA store to purchase the base cabinet, their inventory indicated that they had 4, the boxes on the floor under the store model were opened and the cabinets were damaged. The other boxes were on the top shelf, I asked for help and the young man came and asked why I didn't want the lower boxes, I showed him that the cabinets in the boxes were damaged and he insisted that I buy the damaged cabinets at a discount. I refused and he responded that if I didn't buy them he would have to return them. (Not my problem) he kept insisting that I buy them. Today, (4/27/2023) I returned to the Pittsburgh Mills store to buy paint, while the paint was being mixed, I was walking through the tool department. There was a crew who appeared to be re-barcoding inventory. The person who appeared to be the supervisor was telling the other workers something about if the original barcode was missing the product could not be re-barcoded. He then in a loud voice said "I know that I am a dick and an asshole but I will not work with the red team because they keep taking the barcodes off of the shelves and because there are thousands of dollars of merchandise that cannot be sold. I am in the store quite often and know that there are people who bring children with them, this kind of language is unacceptable. Over the years I have spent tens of thousands of dollars in the Mills store remodeling my home. Since Scott the old store manager retired, I have noticed a change for the worst at the store. Apparently, DS represents that the person is a supervisor, the current culture at your stores are that the customers don't matter. There is now a lack of professionalism.

First, the order delivery was delayed 2 times. Then, went past the last delivery update. Tried calling, was placed on hold a really long time. Decided to just cancel the order online. This was a mistake as I found out too late! Lowe's online system didn't provide a button to cancel the entire order, multiple items for a remodel I am doing. So, big mistake, I cancelled each item line by line. The BIG problem is that Lowe's sytem then proceded to rack up multiple pending charges on my credit card. After each cancellation, it reauthorized another pending charge for the remaining balance. This resulted in my credit card being tied up for 10 times the amount of the original purchase, over $10,000 at one point. I tried calling my bank and was told, understandably, that they can not remove pending charges but the merchant could do that if they chose. So, I called Lowe's customer service again, during my discussion with the person she quickly told me that pending charges would drop off automatically after 5 days. At this point, it had already be 6 days since my order and now my card was useless due to their not so customer friendly online system. I tried to tell her that my bank had told me it was possible for Lowe's to remove these charges right away but the line went dead, just like she simply hung up on me. The fact that there was no effort to reconnect makes me believe this was the case. I wrote an email, not so kind, but no bad language, to the Lowe's customer service but didn't receive a response concerning this issue at all. Sure enough, the charges finally dropped off after 5 more days but I had to contact another supplier and give them a different card to use before that because my credit on my most used card was completely tied up by a cancelled Lowe's order that ended up tying my credit up for about 12 days! I just hope someone will at least look into the way this works because this seems like it should be illegal, at least not ethical, to do this for a cancelled order! I can see the original amount but even that should have dropped off sooner than it did, but to make all the numerous pending charges that occurred on my account just seems very wrong to me. I am just a single customer but if this is happening on a regular basis it seems to me it wouldn't be the best image Lowe's can project.

Installation department. When called because was very upset with the installers they sent. All 4 people I talked to were very nice and understanding. Then finally a guy was sent out to our house to find out what problem was. Again nice and understanding. He asked and again I repeated what I told Four other people, he took a lot of pictures. But in the end no one cared. Received an email weeks after the guy left our house with his answers and pictures, asking me to send pictures and send a detailed list of what was wrong. To send pictures and write what problem was not happening I told 5 people including manager at Lowe's, who really did not care. I was not going to explain it all again and take more pictures,which the guy who came out took a lot of. Then at the end of the email we were sent it said do not respond to this email, it will go no where. Completely useless. They won because I had enough I have given up. I will never use or recommend Lowe's for any installs ever again.

I purchased a range yesterday at Lowes Keizer, the person checked and verified that there was one in stock so I purchased it for pickup today, she even filled out the tag for it to be on hold for pickup. I showed up this morning with my truck and the appliance person in appliances said they didn't have one, I rebutted stating the person was placing the sticker on it but he couldn't find it and made the comment she ordered it and should be in Monday. That's not what she told us because I watched her make out the hold sticker with a bold sharpy. I highly suspect that someone at Lowes sold it out from under me and ordered another putting me on hold. This is BS to be told they have one and they don't, plus I heard they did away with the veteran discounts, I guess I'll be shopping at Home Depot from now on.

Customer service is poor. Bear DE store. Poor communication between departments and no one answers the phone. Store manager always unavailable or off on the weekends. Busiest days of the week.

Bought a $2,500.00 Craftsman Riding Mower, problems with starting from the time it was first delivered☹ Wanted though to give the mower a fair trial so tried using it a couple of mowings•••WRONG decision⚠️ Tried to use it a third mowing, absolutely NO starting the mower😠 At this point made the decision to return the mower & get another brand of mower elsewhere❗ Lowe's DOES NOT accept a return of a mower that you tried out doing the only thing with the mower that you're supposed to•••using it to mow to find out whether or not that you have a desirable, 100% functional, $2,500.00 mower❗❓❗❓❗❓ WHAT THE HELL kind of business practices is that⚠️❓❗⚠️❓❗⚠️❓❗ Fortunately there is a 2-3 Year Warranty for repairing a Lowe's lawn mower that I am NOT 100% SATISFIED with at a cost of $2,500.00❗❗❗😡 It will now be in the hands of a repairman for god knows how long while my lawn grows horribly out of control😤 Through with Lowe's•••NEVER again❗❗❗

There for 30 min, finally talked to a worker who said he’d get to me in a minute. Finally went to front desk to have someone paged to come back to water softeners. Another 30 minutes no one showed. Left store disgusted.
