Customer service starts with helping the customer, not lying to them. After driving 45 minutes to…read morethis store and arriving a few minutes before closing to buy a single lock, I was turned away by a man who said the store was closed. There were still many people walking around inside and more in line checking out. I explained that I needed another lock to match one I had purchased recently, and that I knew right where they were. I could get it and be in line to check out in seconds. He lied and told me that they had already shut all the registers down, even though both were checking out customers. I sat out front for 15 minutes while customers continued to exit the store with their purchases. I have done a lot of business with this store but will not waste my time making the trip ever again. I suggest you reconsider doing business with a store that doesn't care about your time, or their integrity.

I bought an Echo pole saw over the phone from Killian's and have nothing but great things to say…read moreabout my experience, both from the initial phone purchase and the pickup of the saw this weekend. Jordan was extremely helpful over the phone - I am an hour away- as were the other people I spoke with. The same is true of when I picked up the saw yesterday (two weeks after buying over the phone). Brandon, Jordan, Ashley, and Sharon could not have been nicer nor more professional. I hate that the store is not closer to me, because they would be my go-to for anything related to lawn equipment!

On the way one can tipped forward and the lid popped out and the entire gallon ran all over the car. I returned to Lowe's and they had just closed the Manager Angel came out and stated' the other 4 cans have the lid in place so obviously my employee tightened it how do I know you did not manipulate the lid. There is nothing I am going to do for you. ' Not even a paper towel was given to me. And I am a handicapped senior it's pretty ingenious to manipulate a lid past third row of seats while driving. I called corporate office and was told the stores individually handle complaints. I spend 2 hours struggling to clean the vehicle and it's still not clean. I also lost 53$ gallon of paint and was insulted by a manager that obviously requires customer service training.

Lowe's should also be ashamed of using a company called Reliable Service to install their…read moredishwashers. Read the reviews for them - the complaints all have similar issues. Lowe's subjects their customers to this treatment! If I could give the installation company a negative five stars I would. The worst experience ever for the installation of my dishwasher from Lowe's. The technician, Dwight Jr, who never called me 30-60 minutes before arrivals as their emails states they would, arrives at my house and complains about being overworked and he didn't have time to call me and alert me. I tried to be nice and let him to my newly renovated house. I told him the space was tight for the dishwasher and that he needed to be careful and not damage the floors and walls. He said he'd take care of it and I also told him to use the sliding glass doors to go in and out of. I had a work call to take in my home office and when I walked back out, he had already yanked out the old dishwasher, drug it through my living room across my hardwood floor. Water was everywhere! My newly remodeled kitchen had damage on my cabinets where he scraped them taking out the old dishwasher into my LIVING ROOM!! He also damaged my brand new refrigerator. When I called his attention as to how this happened he accused me of accusing him and said the damages were already there! He calls his manager; some female n speaker phone, who threatened me that they would leave the dishwasher uninstalled because I was hostile!! I tried to speak with her and she said her employee said he didn't do it so that's all they could go on! The most deplorable company and employees! This is how they treat others in their own home! He left my home with water all over my kitchen floor; the unit was not properly installed; parts are missing screws, water underneath the dishwasher and he even left the dishwasher manual UNDER MY DISHWASHER! I have pictures to prove all this. I tried calling the Lowe's store while the installation was happening and was hung up on, placed on hold the 2nd time for 20 minutes only to be told the manager was at lunch. Two hours later I try calling - no answer. I drive to the local store and am told the manager was at lunch! Really!!? I said I was not leaving until I spoke with a manager and suddenly the manager appeared! Lying to the customer! Now have a claim filed with Lowe's corporate. What a disaster. Boycott this company and Lowe's. My kitchen is a disaster, waited almost a month for the install and now dealing with this disaster and can't use my dishwasher!! Consumers are paying for these rotten companies and we get deplorable treatment!

She asked if I needed help with anything. I told her I was interested in looking at the mowers. She showed me where they were and answered my questions all while helping 2 other customers.

We bought a Stihl MS 331 gas chain saw because we had 14 trees that fell during Hurricane Helene…read more We took it home, and it would not start. My husband has used chain saws for over 40 years and knows how they operate. We brought it back to Northern Tool, the manager (Shannan) said that their mechanic was on vacation, so she took the chain saw to a back room and tried to start it and was unable to. She came back and said that my husband must have flooded it. My husband said that we would just exchange it for another saw. She said that we could not do that. My husband said that we would just return it for a refund. She said that there was a $70.00 restocking fee! We never even used the saw! It was brand new! She was adamant about the fee and charged it. My husband asked for the name of customer service so he could lodge a complaint. When he called customer service, he was told to call Derek Kurtz, who is the district manager. He called Mr. Kurtz, and was told that they have had a lot of problems with the Stihl MS 331 chain saw, but usually after the customer brings it back to their mechanic three or four times, it will work! This is utterly ridiculous! We then went to Lowes Home Improvement and bought a Husqvarna chain saw and it started right up and works just fine.
