Lowe's Home Improvement

(15 reviews)

My husband and I shop here pretty frequently. I wanted to give them a quick review, since one of…read morethe employees was very helpful last night. We bought a sliding glass door from the Lowes in North Conway (we are right on the ME / NH border, so we're close to both). It didn't come with any instructions, but our contractor knew how to put it in, so that was fine. After it was put in he was slightly freaking out. He said that the door had to put been put together incorrectly at the factory as there weren't any drainage holes at the bottom. The employees at the store in N Conway were very rude and refused to call us back. So when we went to this one to grab some boards my husband told the employee about this situation, and asked for advice. He told him that it does have the drainage holes at the bottom. There's a cover you need to pull out that will expose them (he showed him exactly how to do it), the wheels on our door are also broken. He told him that if it is in fact brand new (Which it is), then if he had gotten it there they'd let him just bring the door in and they'll give him a new one. Instead of putting different wheels on which he said can sometimes be a pain in the butt to do. I'm slightly bummed that we didn't get it here (in Windham) now. We can't seem to get a hold of anyone at the lowes store we bought our sliding glass door from. Yet were able to get an answer from this employee pretty quickly.

While I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for a store staffed by people from our…read morelocal community, my experience this morning left me with no choice. I arrived around 8:30 a.m. when the store was quiet, intending to purchase four outdoor light fixtures along with several solar lights. I approached two associates in the lighting department to ask where I could find a specific fixture, but it was obvious I was interrupting their conversation about weekend plans. After multiple attempts to get assistance, I gave up and searched for everything myself, hoping I was buying the correct products. When I finally made it to self-checkout, one of the light fixtures scanned $40 higher than the shelf price. I waited for the self-checkout associate, Deb, to approve the price correction. She walked away, came back, helped several other customers around me, then walked away again without ever acknowledging that I had been standing there waiting. It wasn't just me who noticed. Other customers were shaking their heads and commenting about what they were seeing. After spending nearly 45 minutes in the store without receiving even the most basic level of customer service, I left my entire cart behind and walked out. Five minutes later, I was at Home Depot. Within minutes, three associates asked if I needed help and personally walked me to the products I was looking for. I purchased everything I needed there instead. For more than 20 years, I considered myself a loyal Lowe's customer. Today, that changed. Lowe's lost a $559.78 sale, but more importantly, they lost a customer who genuinely preferred shopping there. The contrast in customer service between the two stores could not have been more striking. I hope someone in store leadership reads this, because this wasn't about one pricing mistake. It was about feeling completely ignored by employees who simply didn't seem to care. That's something worth fixing.
