Damage caused to dryer door
Abhra B.

Avoid Appliances Department at ALL costs. You will waste weeks of your life addressing issues with installations and machines. Two months ago, we were in the market for a new washer and dryer and mistakenly chose to buy from Lowe's. What quickly ensued was a frustrating saga filled with customer service failures at every step, and which ultimately was only fully resolved with the help of a kind neighbor. Below is a full timeline of events. If anyone in the future reads this and time machines have been invented, please reach out so I can use one to avoid ever having to deal with this nightmare of a department at the South IH-35 Lowe's in Austin, TX. 1/24: We arrive at the store. Lengthy wait (40 minutes) to even speak with an Appliance Sales rep, but it seems busy and understaffed so it was understandable. We quickly commit to a pair of machines and make two special requests: we want the shipping bolts that come with the washing machine, and for the doors to be flipped so they don't hit each other in our laundry closet. The salesman promises both and assures us the machines will be delivered on that Friday (1/28). 1/27: We call the salesperson's business card as we haven't received any communication yet on the delivery. It turns out to be the same number as the general store phone line, so we wait on hold for ten minutes until someone tells us that the machines weren't actually in stock, and they left a message on our phone explaining the delivery would shift to Monday. There was no voicemail, but at least we now know the change. 1/31: Lowe's calls us with a delivery window of 4p-7p the next day. 2/1: Lowe's service people arrive 6 hours ahead of the delivery window and deliver both machines. Shipping Bolts are missing ("not on the truck"), doors are not flipped. 2/2: We call Lowe's so that they can come back and complete the service they promised (Shipping Bolts and doors being flipped), hopefully within the service window this next time. 2/7: The same Lowe's service people return at 7am (again well out of the 11-2pm service window) to attempt to flip the doors. In trying to unscrew the doors, they strip the screws and their drill continuously skids onto the machine body, visibly damaging the brand-new $1000 appliance. They tell us they can't do it, ask us to sign off that they did the job, and are on their way. 2/8, 2/9, and on several occasions afterward: We call and email Lowe's management and explain the situation thus far. After a handful of redirections and transfers to different corporate associates, we finally reach someone who promises they will send a new dryer out to replace the one they damaged and also remove the shipping bolts from another washer to give to us, though "we'll have to sell that machine at a discount." --Excuse me? How is that in any way my problem?? 2/22: The exact same Lowe's service people who have failed to do their jobs properly twice now, return with the new machine to replace the one he damaged. After they leave, we try to run the machines but discover the hose was not properly installed into the dryer and water is leaking everywhere behind and beneath it. Either the serviceman knew it was going to leak and didn't want to fix it or he was simply too lazy to check, because he didn't turn the water back on before leaving. 2/28: Rather than deal with Lowe's or its unbelievable incompetence any longer, we ask our neighbor to come over and fix the hose connection. Luckily, they're able to help and after a long six weeks, we have two machines that are at least functional. If you're wondering about the doors, they are still on the wrong way :))) Interspersed within the timeline are the multiple phone calls to customer service to make our situation right. Many of these calls ended abruptly after waiting on line for over 15 minutes and then being disconnected. If there is a bright spot in this story, it is Rebecca (or, maybe Farah?) in customer service at Lowe's, she was extremely helpful regarding our plight and helped identify the right people for us to contact, and actually followed up on their actions, a big shout-out to her! In all our phone calls, we ultimately learned the root of the problem is that Lowe's uses a third party for appliance delivery and installation. The people in management seem to recognize it's a significant issue many of their customers are calling to complain about, but there are no plans to improve or change the system. And so to finish, for those who endeavor to work with Lowe's Appliances: I wish you all the luck we didn't have and double the time and effort we spent trying to right their every wrong because trust us, you're going to need it.

I just purchased and had delivered a new washer and dryer. I really appreciate the fact that they came within the time window I asked for when making my purchase. The three men who came were very nice and professional. They kept my house clean, installed them very quickly. It only took about 30mins all together. I was very impressed. I had recently purchased and got a refund on a washer and dryer from Home Depot. They showed up at 7am when they told me 3pm to the place I was not yet moved into. There delivery person was rude when I called them back. I got better quality products and service with Lowe's for about $300 less then I had originally purchased from Home Depot.

Covid19 No Protection gear!!

On May 1, 2020 I purchased a new washer and dryer the, purpose to upgrade for mothers day. Turned out that the new appliances were to big so I had to refuse them.  The delivery crew who used no protection gear for the Covid19 referred to put the old appliance back because I didn't purchase the haul away.  My dryer was stolen from the curve on Saturday and my washer is outside in the rain. I called the delivery crew talked to David and April. Also contacted Lee,Nick supervisor and the manager from appliances from Home Depot and all Lee had to say is Home Depot is not responsible for their actions that this is the reason they recommend getting the Haul away plan!!

I went to ACE HARDWARE/Breed and Company (290 and close to Nutty Brown Rd). I was meeting up with a…read moregirlfriend. They have the MOST gorgeous Easter display of any store, along with a sweet selection of merchandise! I enjoy just walking around this store and seeing what unique items they have for your home. Sure wish the people were friendlier and cared more about helping the customer. Oh well that's kind of the way the world is these days! I bought a good amount of merchandise but something i took home did not work and had to return it. This return didn't work in my favor, turns out the customer is not as important as that extra dollar even if you are the one inconvenienced. That being said I still enjoy walking around the inside of this store.

I love Breed and Company and so grateful one is located close to my home. I come here regularly and…read morepurchase gifts and hardware supplies for my home. Right now they are decorated for Christmas and the store looks amazing. There are some great decorating ideas here and the products are high quality. I have noticed some things go really fast, so if you see something you like ... grab it. One half of the store are hardware items where carry items not found at the big box stores like the Big Green Egg. The other half is home essentials and changed out for all the seasons. The back has a small gardening area. The whole store was very clean and organized. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you sign up for Ace Rewards then some nice perks.
