*** responded to a complaint I filed with the BBB in N.C. They did not dispute the facts I laid out; apparently the people running the corporation think it's appropriate to call customers liars?

To fail to respond to phone calls, exhibit blinding arrogance? To lie and dissemble? Their "final offer" was $700; in order to claim this paltry attempt to avoid responsibility, I would be required to sign a contract to absolve *** of any liability, or responsibility! So, who is responsible for your abysmal customer service?

For your sad failure to step up to the plate.

And exactly why would you offer recompense if there was no fault on your part. An apt example of corporate "logic" and promotions beyond one's ability.

*** "Executive Customer Relations" responded to a complaint I filed with the BBB in ***, ***. They apologized for the "inconvenience", but never once apologized for the appalling insult I received.

They did not dispute that the incidents took place. I was given until June 9,2026 to accept their "final resolution" of $778.00. In order to receive this amount, I am required to sign a statement absolving *** of liability or wrongdoing. Excuse me?

Who do you think is responsible for ignoring the key issue of my complaint? If you're not responsible, why are you willing to pay me?I will not roll over for tummy rubs, these folks need to step up, admit that their words and actions were highly inappropriate and make proper restitution, without requiring me to lie.

This resolution means nothing. I will continue to post.

[PERSON_NAME] has been informed of this complaint directly. They have declined to respond, or make things right. Is this a place you want to give your hard earned money to?

Original review May 28, 2026
On October 21, 2025, I sent a letter of complaint to [PERSON_NAME], [PERSON_NAME] Senior Director of Executive Customer Relations". The dispute arose when [PERSON_NAME], a district manager offered me recompense of $1,400 to atone for their failure to replace and install a defective storm door (project total of $4,848.51, paid in full).

Each call to [PERSON_NAME] is recorded with supporting notes put in your "file". When [PERSON_NAME] called and I mentioned the $1,400 offer; she immediately spouted, "All former offers were null and void", thus acknowledging she was fully aware of the offer. She then added "There's no record of such an offer". The woman called me a liar!

In spite of documentation that she herself was being dishonest.

How's that for slam bang customer service! I would like to send [PERSON_NAME] to charm school.
And I still want a full refund from these horrible people.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. better product inventory search online. the website should show which stores anywhere in the country that have the product you are looking for without having to go to each locations website to search.

Original review Aug 17, 2026

Lowes isnt utilizing widely available technology to help its customers locate a product quickly. I had to call the "pissed consumer" hotline to get "live" help to find a location that stocked what i was looking for.

there needs to be a way on the lowes app or website to have it show the availability of an item at all locations in a chosen area when it is not available at your selected store.

the site makes you pick a location one at a time to search. it would also be helpful if it would say "not available at any location, special order only" if that is the case.

AI Highlights
  • - Cabinets arrived damaged; had to be sent back and some were lost.
  • - Seven months later, still not installed; dates promised but no delivery.

Started a kitchen cabinet install with Lowe's. On January the 29th 2026, several cabinets arrived to the house damaged.

Had to send them back, lost several cabinets. In the warehouse, but my installer came out on June. The sixth of 2026, said some other cabinets for the wrong sides had to weigh 6 to eight weeks for the cabinet company to make those cabinets, then they had me come pick the cabinets up from the store and continue to send me messages saying, please come pick up your cabinets. I never should have had to pick up cabinets.

I pay for them to be delivered and installed. It is August, the 20th 2026 7 months later, and and I still do not have my cabinets. I have been issued 4 dates on when the cabinets were going to be installed. I removed the items out of the cabinets.

They sent me something back saying that they're not going to be installed. I unloaded the boxes back into the cabinets. I've done this 4 times my house is in chaos. I can't get a supervisor or anybody to expedite the matter.

This is the worst project or the worst company that I've ever dealt with in my life. I will not recommend you to anyone.

User's recommendation: Never use lowe's for a large project. T they have had this job to install for over 7 months.

AI Highlights
  • - Staff helped with outdoor paint and wall-sample color matching; return visit had long waits and a malfunctioning machine delaying the color match.

On Friday, July 17, 2026, we came to the Pittsburgh Mills Lowe's to purchase 2 gallons of paint, one for each of two different projects. The gentleman behind the paint counter was helpful in choosing the paint we needed for a set of outdoor steps.

For the second project, we had taken a picture of an outdoor wall that would need to be matched. The employee explained that if we could bring in a piece of the wall, he could match it for us, but could not use the picture from our camera. We returned about 20 minutes later with the wall sample to find no one at the paint counter but saw the same employee who waited on us walking away from the counter several aisles away. Then the waiting game really began.

We waited 10 minutes; then my husband walked over to customer service to ask for help in the paint department. Customers began to form a line behind us in the meantime. We began to ring the call bell continuously for at least another 25 minutes. We attempted to notify customer service at least 2 more times.

Finally, an employee came to the paint department who had no idea how to mix paint or match colors. We asked her to contact a manager. She left. After what seemed like 10 minutes, an assistant manager came.

He was having difficulties with the machine used to match the paint color, rebooted the machine, and kept trying but could not get the machine to work! Another 5-10 minutes transpired! A third employee finally came, who, after two attempts, was finally able to match the color we needed and advised us on the type of paint to use. From the time we entered the store the second time until we walked out, it took at least 1 hour and 5 minutes.

Clearly, this is absurd! There were at least 2 other customers who left in frustration! This was absolutely the poorest, most exasperating experience and waste of time we have ever had. Lowe's poor service is completely unacceptable!

It was obvious no one wants to work here and there is no commitment to even adequate service. How will you make amends for this and convince us to return to your store again?

No customer service after the sale

AI Highlights
  • - Three defective Frigidaire GRFG2353AFK units; damage, light/ER issues, freezing and dispenser failure; Lowe's refused replacement or credit.

I purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator model GRFG2353AFK from Lowes and this has turned into one of the worst appliance and customer service experiences I have ever dealt with.

Delivery #1

The first unit arrived damaged. The delivery team had already removed and taken my original refrigerator, so I was left with a damaged fridge in my home and no backup option.

A replacement was scheduled for the next day.

Delivery #2

The second Frigidaire GRFG2353AFK was installed. Before the crew left, I noticed the interior light did not turn on when opening the doors. I was told that happens sometimes and they reset the refrigerator. After about 10 minutes the light came on and I was told everything was fine.

About 30 minutes after they left, the light failed again and the refrigerator displayed an ER error code.

I contacted [PERSON_NAME] again and now needed a third refrigerator.

Due to scheduling delays, I had to wait a couple days. The refrigerator still cooled, so I made it work temporarily, but the error code never cleared.

Delivery #3

The third Frigidaire GRFG2353AFK was installed. Initially everything appeared fine.

About 4 to 5 days later, the refrigerator started freezing everything inside the refrigerator compartment. Sodas were turning to slush and ice when opened.

Meal prep containers were forming ice. Sauces like ketchup, barbecue sauce, and mustard were thickening and partially freezing. The interior water dispenser line also froze and stopped dispensing water.

I tested the refrigerator with a thermometer. With the refrigerator set to 36 degrees, a glass of water froze to 32 degrees within 4 hours.

I then reset the refrigerator, set it to 43 degrees, and the water still froze within 4 hours.

This refrigerator cannot regulate temperature and is clearly defective.

At this point this would have been my fourth refrigerator. I asked [PERSON_NAME] for a reasonable solution. I simply wanted to switch to a different model or receive store credit so I could purchase another refrigerator from them.

Instead, I was placed on hold for over an hour and then told I was outside the 48 hour return window.

I explained there is absolutely no way to identify this defect within 48 hours because the freezing issue and dispenser failure do not present themselves until 4 to 5 days of normal use.

Despite receiving multiple defective or damaged units in a row, this was ignored.

I asked for a supervisor and was placed on hold another 38 minutes. I eventually had to hang up because I could not stay on the phone for nearly two hours over something Lowes should have handled immediately.

The final answer from Lowes was that I must deal directly with the manufacturer.

This entire situation has been completely outside of my control.

I have now received three defective or damaged Frigidaire GRFG2353AFK refrigerators.

The primary defect cannot physically be discovered within Lowes 48 hour return window.

I have spent hours dealing with deliveries, issues, support calls, scheduling delays, and troubleshooting.

I attempted to resolve this reasonably and even offered to continue purchasing through Lowes if they would simply work with me on a replacement or model swap.

Instead, [PERSON_NAME] chose to hide behind a policy that does not even apply to how this defect presents itself.

This was a complete failure of customer service.

Lowes had every opportunity to make this right by replacing the unit again, allowing a model swap, or issuing store credit.

Instead, they chose not to support their customer at all.

If something goes wrong, Lowes will not stand behind the sale, even after multiple confirmed defective units.

I will not be purchasing appliances from Lowes again.

Purchase with a Lowes card and you getb30 days to return or exchange. Standard return window in the industry is 48 hours. It is your responsibility to contact the manufacturer if you need service.

Bought a Samsung washer, delivered, died 7 loads later

AI Highlights
  • - -Samsung washer bought from Lowe's in Palm Bay; delivered 7/26/26, failed 8/13/26.
  • - -Wants to return the washer and arrange pickup; delays and a replacement brand.

Bought a Samsung washer, delivered 7/26/26 from Lowes, Malabar Rd, Palm Bay, FL. On 8/13/26, the washer died and would not restart.

After a call, I had an empty delivery truck show up on Friday with nothing. They had no idea why they came. They said to call warranty for Samsung and I got connected to someone in Egypt. An appointment was set for 8/18.

Samsung auto-called on 8/17 and said the earliest they could come is 8/20. I called on 8/19 and they said they needed a part; maybe if it comes on 8/20, they might be able to come on 8/21. We've opened a Lowes card after living in OH and now retired to FL. We want to return the washer and will pay to have it picked up.

My wife is 80 years old and has no faith in this washer; she wants to buy another brand now at Lowes. We've already made a 1/12 payment on our new Lowe's card (also bought a dishwasher that day, which is fine).

Can you pick it up or do I have to hire some younger people to load it and bring it back? Thank you.

User's recommendation: Stay away from Samsung.

Lowes only accepts appliance returns within the first 48 hours. You have to deal with Samsung now.

Pending charges of $148.11 on a purchase of $63.47

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Two orders: online $42.32 and by phone $21.15, total $63.47.
  • - Five pending charges totaling $148.11 and a freeze on the account.

I placed 2 orders with Lowes. The first was online for $42.32, and the next was via phone to add to the order in the amount of $21.15.

I fully understand a pending charge for the total of those; however, I have now 5 pending charges totaling $148.11, clearly more than double what my full order is of $63.47.

While I know they are only pending and should fall off, how on earth is it okay that they put a freeze on my account for that amount???!!! And then when I called, instead of simply saying they made a mistake, I simply got the response of it's not a big deal because they will fall off.
