Cancelled my refrigerator purchase from Lowes due to their trying to deliver a damaged refrigerator, and not showing up for a subsequent scheduled delivery. I refused delivery of the damaged refrigerator and it never entered my home, it went back to the warehouse.
Then they rescheduled delivery and didn't show up. So I cancelled the entire purchase from Lowes. Dealing with Boone Lowes has been a nightmare. They wanted to give me "merchandise store credit" in the amount of $3,034.08 instead of a refund against my USAA Visa card. Fortunately, USAA has taken the charge off my bill (pending an investigation). In dealing with Boone Loews they seemed confused, untrained, and unhelpful.

The continuing saga of my attempted refrigerator purchase at Boone, NC, Lowes:
The particulars are as follows, the email I sent to Lowes Corporate:
1) I purchased a refrigerator at Boone, N.C. Lowes on 10/21/22 in the amount of $3,034.08 on my USAA Visa card.
2) Upon delivery, they uncrated the refrigerator and it was badly dented in the front. I did not accept the damaged refrigerator (order number 449201452/Invoice number 91813), but phoned and asked if another could be delivered the next day. They said they could do this, and that they were in stock. I was home all day the next day and Lowes delivery did not show up.
3) I phoned Lowes and cancelled the order, explaining the circumstances. They asked if I wanted Store Credit cards for the refund. I told them that I wanted a refund on my Visa card. They agreed to do this.
4) While waiting for the refund to come thru on my USAA Visa card, I received Fed Ex packages with Store Credit Cards. I phoned the Boone Lowes and spoke with the assistant manager, Josh. He asked that I come into the store with the cards and my USAA Visa card. I did and he took the Lowes Credit cards into his possession. Kayla at the Boone, N.C. Lowes processed the refund.
5) Lowes then took my USAA Visa card and said that they processed a refund onto my USAA Visa card and gave me a print out which had the amount on it and the word "return". The assistant manager, Josh, assured me that the issue was resolved and that a refund will be forthcoming in the amount of $2,994.08. He gave me the balance of $40.00 in cash as it could not be refunded to my USAA Visa.
6) This evening I was checking my USAA Visa account online. A charge for $2,994.08 appeared on it as a charge and not a refund. I called USAA and spoke with a representative and she verified that the $2,994.08 was a charge by Lowes in Boone, NC and was not a refund. She said that USAA could do nothing and that I would have to resolve it with the store.
7) I phoned the Boone, NC Lowes this evening and Josh was off for the next couple of days, so I spoke with Kayla, who had processed the refund. She said that she had refunded the amount and her records show it was refunded, but that she would call accounting tomorrow.
8) I respectfully request that a refund be transmitted to my USAA Visa account, post haste, in the amount of $6,028.16 (the amounts of $3,034.08 and $2994.08), which have been erroneously charged to my USAA Visa charge card by Lowes in Boone, NC. read more
