I live in Independence MO and on May 6, 2007 I purchased a 1/2 hp Water Ace sump pump that had a 5 year warranty. Today the sump pump went out and I have almost a full year of warranty left. I called the manager at Lowes and they told me that I would have to send it...

I bought a pump at Lowes with a lifetime waranty. I asked what happens if the manufacturer goes out of business.
The service center person said that Lowes would give me a comparable pump. Now the pump broke.
i called Lowes they said that the manufacturer changed the warranty to 5 years. Lowes won't honor the lifetime anymore just the 5 years now.

Purchased a ceiling fan to only find out the motor was defective. Of course you can only discover this after you've installed the fan. I figure I spent about 2 and half hours between the purchase, installation and return so the least I could do is spend the same...

What planet did you come from? There isn't a product made that doesn't have an occasional defect.
It's unfortunate you bought one that takes a while to install. Don't blame the retailer, they didn't build it. If you fell Lowes buys and sells a lower quality item fell free to shop elsewhere and spend more money.
You made the decision to buy the fan you did, and I am sure price was part of the reason you bought it. Blame yourself and the company that made the fan, not Lowes.

Lowes screwed up my floor installation
I bought my vinyl flooring from Lowes of Hermitage Tennessee. From the very first promise to the visit from, Larry, regional supervisor of installation Lowes fulfilled zero (0) of their promises. They did not call before delivering, or installing, just showed up! They "redefined" the guidelines for laying the louann after I had it laid and charged and extra $200 although they did not relay any of it. They charged for supplies they did not use but did not offer a refund and most importantly they installation job was totally botched! The floor is wavy, the quarter round looks like a kindergarten class installed it. I have talked with 3 different folks in the installation department: Donald, Justin, Cathy; the store manager, Stefan; and the regional supervisior for installation, Larry. Although each agreed my complaints were valid and each one is "sorry for my inconvenience" and have stated Lowes did not follow their own policy none of them actually fixed the problem. Never, never, never have Lowes of Hermitage, Tennesse intall anything in your home.

Nothing but junk at Lowes
Seems like everything I buy from Lowes is nothing but junk. In the last few years I have bought a bench grinder, air compressor and numerous other items. The bench grinder and the air compressor lasted less than a year before they quit working. I bought flouresent tubes that lasted for a week or two. Last week I bought a water hose from Lowes. This morning while washing the decks off, the water hose developed a bulge in it and a big gaping hole opened up. It's pretty bad when you can't trust Lowes quality for something as simple as a garden hose. I don't buy their cheaper quality. I normally buy their top of the line model. Evidently they only stock the very cheapest imported *** they can get. So long Lowes, I am going back to Sears!!!!

Lowes in Roanoke, Virginia - Incompetence abound
I recently went into a Lowe's here in town. It took me 20 minutes to find someone in the lawn and garden section to get a simple spark plug. In addition to that, when I finally got it, I went to check out, the store had 3 lines open, with 15 people waiting at 1. The other two had people talking and arguing about what they were and were not going to do to get things ordered. The second line had a 'manager' trying to work the computer system to even find the item that the customers were trying to buy. After 1 HOUR and 2 line changes I finally just pushed the basket away and left. These stores have no people, no competence, and no caring about their customers whatsoever.

Just finished installing a sprinkler system in 90 degree heat and at the end of the project I simply took back the 7 pieces of the system I did not use. Glad to be done with the project, I walked into Lowes and took at the products I did not use and asked for a...

I have had EXCELLENT service when returning goods at Lowe's! I just returned $4k of special ordered merchandise and they didn't give me any issues whatsoever.
People have to be realistic about returns. There are scammers who buy stuff elsewhere and then take it to the store and ask for a refund, profiting the difference.
That's why they require ID. Cmon, be realistic, patient and nice to the refunds' counter and you'd be surprised how far that goes....

Lowes in Irvine, California - Rejection of my product review.
I wrote a detailed review of the Wagner Airless Sprayer and even went out of my way to thanked Lowes for the complete refund, but Lowes rejected the posting of my critical review. I thought it was well worded and written, and very clean. It apears to me that The Lowes Company has more of a support position for its venders than I would have thought of a retailer. I think I will be spending a lot more of my time at Home Depot from now on. I guress there is a reason that in my area there are ten times the customers in Home Depot than Lows at any one time.

I went through the same thing with Lowe's. Three different managers at the store, as well as a manager at their HQ took all of my information, then never got back to me.
This was over a bad install that left my property damaged! Leave a BBB complaint - I did.
I had a similar situation about 5 years ago with a Lowe's here in NJ. Complained up to a national level, got nothing but a go-around.
They nailed down a laminate floor that is supposed to be a floating floor. A contractor saw this when he was installing some cabinets. The contractor they used was a total sexist pig.
I did finally sue them in small claims court and got $2500 back for the shoddy installation.
Good luck.
