I drive by this location when traveling. I picked up some garden sprays. It was challenging finding help. Once I did, the employee looked up items on his phone and led me to the area that had what I wanted. The self check out area was crowded. Sadly, most stores are heading that way - get rid of staff and self pay. The parking lot gets crowded. Be careful when exiting. read more

It took this store 32 hour to pull a same day delivery off the shelf. Then delivered the tool chests 24 hours later. The problem was with the store. read more

absolute the worst hardware store in charlottesville va. the worst customer service, no one ever answers the phone after 1:20 minutes of trying just to cancel an order. even the corporate office was unable to get some one to answer the call. (she tried for additional 20 minutes and apologized ). i was on the phone for 1 hour and 45 minutes for something that should have been cancelled over the phone. i had to repeat the same message to ai ,5 time to finally get her to switch me to a representative and then no one ever answered the phone and after 20 rings i was disconnected. this is no way to run a business. i predict lowe's days are numbered. everyone is now purchasing from home depot that just came in town and will destroy lowes business hopefull!!!!!!! read more

Do not use for floor installment. Problems all around with Lowes and the company they use to install the flooring, Service Pros. Incompetent, delivery problems, installer problems, installer not customer friendly. Had to cancel on day of installation because installer refused to move an adjustable bed platform after paying extra for them to move furniture. Never told by Lowes or Service Pros that they do not move furniture that has electricity, ie adjustable bed platforms, recliners, etc., until day of installation. I cancelled job and will never do business with either company again. read more

They have a moderately large supply & diversity of goods. The helpers are good IF you can find them. The prices are on the high side of low. I'm not an expert but I think the value equation is positive. I personally prefer the competition but it's really 6 of 1 vs 1/2 dozen of the other. And I own stock in the other so I want to support them. read more

After a few visits with attempts to locate particular items I would say they are A-OK. I did find one item and received customer service. Some staff was helpful, one was not. Ultimately I found an item needed to block hair from going down the drain. The disappointment was a staff that asked me to wait for assistance and he would return, but never did. This is the only Lowe's I'm aware of in Charlottesville. I would return. 3.5 rounding down with a customer service issue. read more

They don't care about customer service. I asked four people to help me find two specific plants in the garden center and they kept pointing to where it might be. I asked them to show me and they refused, kept pointing. So frustrating. If you're ok with a store not caring about whether you're there or not, this is your place! I'll drive to Ruckersville Lowe's- where they actually do care and try to help! read more

twice I have experienced truck deliveries. Last year I purchased trex for my deck. the day of delivery I waited all day to be notified they would delivery. After 3 days of promises I went to the Managment to complain. It was finally delivered. This year I purchased a pallet of bagged mulch. I recieved a call to deliver the mulch early I called to the number which was listed, It was the Charlottesville store. the phone continued for three hours. No one answered. A little annoyed but after a while I was just curious how long for someone to answer after all I was reading a book no worry. The day of the delivery I again waited all day to get a text from the delivery service it would be delivered the next day. I called and got someone to cancel the order. After recieving a conformation of the canceled order, I ordered the same from Home depot. It was delivered the day as scheduled. Service has never been great at Charlottesville Lowes but it has certainly declined. read more

Called the C-ville store before I went. I bought 5 azalea bushes, all the same color -- or so I thought since they were all labeled as the same color. Turned out that, before I planted them, I found that one was a color NOT as marked and did not match the rest of the bushes. Since I live 40 miles away from the store I wanted to be sure that they still had the same color in stock that I wanted. So I called to exchange it to be sure that it was still available.. After calling 2x, and waiting ... and waiting ... I was disconnected. then called back. Total of about 30 minutes on hold before I spoke to a person in the garden center who assured me that the color that I wanted was available. When I arrived at the store I found that no, the color was NOT available. So I wasted 2-1/2 hours of my time (travel time and not including the time on 'hold') and $20 of gas to find that the person I spoke to was too lazy to verify that the color I needed was actually available. Grrrrr ... Great customer service. Not. read more

I hate shopping here and am so glad the new WalMart garden center is going in. Every single time I go to checkout and order bags of mulch the cashier goes through the motion of calling someone to go to the side gate to load. And every single time no one ever shows up. Every single time. So I have to get out of my truck and walk back to the cashier who gives me lip about having called them and I have to instruct to do the obvious which is to "call again! There is no one at the gate!" Why! I'm still sitting here waiting for someone to fetch my 20 bags of mulch. Thank you for wasting my time, Loews. Over and over . read more

This Lowes employs intellectually challenged employees. By that, I mean normal functional adults who are genuinely incompetent and bad at the job. In four online orders, three have been wrong when picked up. Today, I ordered two simple nuts in the same size. I received two in obviously different sizes. I also ordered a washer and dryer with install from this same Lowe's, which sent a team to install without the right parts. I had to literally drive back to this same Lowe's myself while they sat at my house to get them the right parts. How incompetent can one group of people be? read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - According to Lowe's online order fulfillment team that fulfilled my order for two same-size nuts and grabbed these, thumbs down. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This Lowes lacks in many departments but overall its just another one of many. Average grade for an store.

lowes is terrible with high prices and in my experience no one is helpful in this store. avoid if possible!

This place is poorly ran! I was at the door with 10 minutes before closing time and a person locked the door and smiled as I was trying to get in ! read more

My experience having soil delivered from the Charlottesville Lowe's was the worst I've ever had. I placed a large order of several varieties of soil online on a Monday. Part of my willingness to pay the steep delivery fee was because the soil was set to be delivered the following day, and I was on a tight schedule. Tuesday morning I received a message with no explanation saying that the day was changed to Wednesday. On Wednesday I received a phone call saying that 1 of the soil types I paid for (24 bags of it) wasn't in stock at the store, but the others were. The associate more or less began the conversation by asking "so.....what do you want to do?" followed by silence. no guidance, suggestions or explanations for how the store would figure out how to resolve the issue. After my expressing that I would need information (like, any at all) before knowing what I wanted to do, the associate suggested that a nearby store might have it in stock and "you could try calling around". I was pretty shocked by this and explained that I had already purchased the product from her store so it made more sense for her to start trying to track it down and get it sent from neighboring stores. (I was being polite, though gritting my teeth on the inside because I had already taken off work on what was supposed to have been the original delivery date). The line went dead without explanation and eventually I hung up and called back. long story short, after several bizarre and pretty careless phone calls I did not receive the product until Friday. I asked the associate if she could at least request that my load be delivered in the morning. She said "no, I can't" and it was not delivered until the end of the day. 3 days late. It is important to state that I don't blame the associate for her lack of customer service skills. I blame Lowe's. They clearly did not provide training on how to effectively resolve an issue with a delivery and how to maturely and politely speak with a customer, like literally how to use words to communicate. In addition, when you order online they give an option for delivery instructions. I requested that the driver speak to me before placing the pallets. It was also stated by the company that my driver would give me a heads up call when he was on his way. Instead, I get a call from a neighbor saying there was a guy unloading dirt outside of my house. He already had the Pallet on the fork lift when I came to intercept (I needed to make sure he didn't block me in). I do not blame the driver for this, I blame the store. If Lowe's wants to provide a delivery option, they need to be able to follow through from the point of sale to the delivery of the order. At this point it would have been faster and less stressful to do 10 carloads to the store and back myself! I was told that the delivery fee would be waived for the order but it still has not been deducted as verbally promised several times. Even if they had bothered to follow through on this promise (careless lie), it would be a drop in the bucket to address my terrible experience. At the very least, SOMEONE, ANYONE, should have said a basic: "we're sorry for the inconvenience". I truly believe that the Charlottesville Lowe's is careless with customers because they know they have a monopoly on the market. Unfortunately there is no Home Depot here to compete. read more

Terrible online ordering process. Customer service has declined over the years. I ordered a washer and dryer online. On the delivery day the dryer and pedestal were missing. I was not informed by Lowes until the day of delivery. I was told it would arrive 3 days later. One week later Still no dryer. When I attempted to cancel the order the ordeal started. Their inventory system showed the dryer out for delivery. It was not. Because it showed out for delivery it could not be canceled by myself or Lowes Customer Service. No one could fix the problem. I am being charged for a dryer that never arrived. No one will refund my money. read more

if I could give 5 negative stars I would. I have had issues concerning my washer and dryer delivery for over a month now. managers repeatedly lie about fixing the issue and my account. I feel like a LIVE at the Lowe's. I have been there early morning hours to calling with over 45 minute Waite times over the phone. Delivery personnel extremely rude and notes entered in the computer about situation were complete lies to cover the repeated mishaps. On 8/12 when I had to Call back to the store ad the manager promised me she would credit my discount and email me the uldate and or call me at the least....she did NOT I called back the next day and spoke to an assistant manager (Chris or paul ) who apologized and said that HE would get it done and call me back the same day......lied and NO credit or call was given from him as well. All lies and deceit from this store. I have called customer service and reported the fraudulent I feel at this point management. Corporate told me over the phone (manager never called ME back again) that the assistant manager will have to waite until Monday 8/14 to get my credit. read more

Charlottesville Lowes is horrible. I now drive 15 miles one way to a Lowes at Zion Crossroads for my supplies or go to the local, small hardware store. (1) Charlottesville Lowes has very few employees on the floor to help with anything, (2) one or two long time people are helpful and knowledgeable but many turn the other way if they see you coming , (3) the items I seek are often not in the location specified on the website search, and (4) perhaps most irritating is the self checkout as there are no longer any real people to serve you. I won't be returning. read more

Ethan is an absolute star employee! He answered all our questions, checked stock for us when we couldn't find things, and cut and helped us identify the right wires for a home project. He was frequently helpful in other sections of the store with directions and had a very positive, personable attitude. Lisa (I believe she's the store manager?) also helped us tremendously at checkout! She was extremely kind and a pleasure to talk to. A third employee with short brown hair, seemed about 20, also brought a new electric cart over to my partner when his ran out of batteries! He was just about to clock out as well and took the time instead to help before ending his shift! My partner didn't catch his name, but find out who he is and make sure he knows his act of kindness meant so much to us! Fabulous team, clean store, knowledgeable and kind employees. I suggest raises read more

I spent twenty minutes today trying to get anyone to answer the phone. Around and around we went with me to hold on while a sales associate voice told me to hold on for someone in the garden center. I gave up and drove there. Yes there was a person there with nothing to do who could have answered the phone and no they didn't have what I needed. Thank you for wasting my time Lowes. won't be back read more

I was looking up store hours in maps and saw three one-star reviews. I took the trouble of installing the app just to say this is not a bad store. I have had some really good help here, especially in Tools. Like every big box hdwr store, most employees are going to avoid eye contact and pass you at top speed if you look lost. So what. It's not like they're getting paid extra to spend ten minutes finding me a clue. I'm up here from Georgia three or four times a year working on my mom and dad's place, and this is my go to store. If you're worried about masks, every single person was masked when I went in today, 8/3/20. As Lowe's goes, this is a good store. read more

It ain't great. Invariably understaffed at the check out, and some of the cashiers operate at a glacial pace, like every day's their first. On the floor, the staff often go out of their way to avoid those pesky customers and all their questions. Deliveries are often late, past the four- or eight-hour scheduled window, and when the goods arrive you can count on the "pickers" having selected the knottiest and most warped lumber. But - short of the Home Depot in Waynesboro, this is the only big hardware store in town, so they don't really have to try very hard, do they? read more

This store is big- but everything is laid out well. The employees will cheerfully direct you to the correct aisle, but the selection is up to you-sometimes that's when I have trouble! They also are very efficient about returning, which I have had to do- many times! The paint department is excellent here with advice and they have color matching- if you need to match old paint color this is the place to come. read more

how hard is it to get the correct items I purchase? every single lowes is some bs! I buy garland and u manage to give me 3 of the kind I order and 1 of some other kind! this is why I like Home Depot y'all are absolutely ridiculous every single Lowe's ever is a complete joke and should get shut down and replaced with a Home Depot. I've never had an issue with Home Depot but lowes yall F everything up every time I place an order! read more

This location of Lowe's in Charlottesville has very, very poor customer service. I've been told by the employees, "I don't know" and no initiative to help. This store doesn't have a good selection of items and its always out of something. Some sections with hardware are terribly disorganized. I find myself ordering online for what I need or driving to Home Depot in Waynesboro. I am looking forward to Home Depot coming to town. May not be much better but at least I have more options than Lowe's and Martin's Hardware. read more

I don't know why on earth you guys use XPO for installations. My BRAND NEW oven has been sitting in my kitchen uninstalled for over a week. This is ridiculous. We have scheduled three times for an installation! The guy Coop in the appliance department told me that he can only place orders and take money and Lowe's had no control over XPO. Why would you have a contract with XPO If they cannot install the products that you all sell. I think you guys should find another company to install. I finally got in touch with someone at XPO and apparently Coop did not confirm XPO service . I have been back and forth with XPO and Lowe's.Not only is this the worst time to spend money on an oven that has been sitting for over a week! Update.. after numerous calls and a Few trips to Lowe's, A nice gentleman named Joe saved the day. My suggestion is to ask for Joe! He is excellent! He understood the frustration and had someone come install it within that hour. I'm sure he agreed that a week and a half of getting the stove and no installation was uncalled for. So 5 stars to Joe and I star for Coop! read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Hardware Stores Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

After several years of buying from, and dealing with, Lowes, I will never go back. I've given them the benefit of the doubt too many times. They seem to not want your business. They don't answer the phone when you're transferred to a department, they never call back when you leave a message, and their item shipping is a disaster. Some examples: I ordered a shower door and after nearly two months it finally came, but they sent the WRONG door. Couldn't get anyone to answer the phone to get it corrected. Went down to the store itself several times and the person I needed was always out. After nearly four months, I finally got a refund, but I had to bring the door down to THEM! They should have picked it up. And just this past month I ordered furnace filters that never arrived. Now I'm going through the same crap trying to get a refund. NEVER AGAIN. read more

The employees are a nightmare. Hideously rude. I never write reviews like this because I understand it's not an easy job to have but oh my god? I have never in my life witnessed something so rude. I needed to buy a single key. We waited in line like everyone else. There was only two lanes open despite how packed the store was. There was employees EVERYWHERE. When they finally opened one up, we were next. I am nurodivergent, and needed to leave the line to leave because I was about to melt down. My friend stayed in line for me. The woman would not allow for her to take her turn. She was taking random people from random lines and insisting that my friend was last, picking people behind her. The employee was extremely rude to her in the key department before this. Y'all need to get it together. She left the store almost in tears. Nightmare store. read more

I saw the other reviews before coming to this store ... They were right. Since recently moving I wanted to use my 10% off coupon and buy some Belkin WeMo LED light bulbs (or other comparable product) They had never heard of them. I asked to speak to a manager about how such a huge store could not have this product ... The uncaring and uninformed staff never had a manager show up ... After wasting 15 minutes of my life I left this store never to return. It is stores like that are like dreams for Amazon ... Good advertising got me in, but their horrible service and not having what should be basic product will now keep me away. Shop here at your own risk! read more

Spent quite a bit of time in the store, not once did someone ask if they could help.

There's quite a selection of items and the location is convenient so I will continue to shop there. read more

This is the worst Lowe's!. Why I keep going back I don't know!. Service is trouble and they don't know crap!. They look at you and lie to your face!.... Go to Home Depot in Waynesboro!... Great people and better prices!.... Lowe's better get with it !. There are other places that want business.... read more

Number one, everybody needs to realize that this is a big box store. A lot of people are going to be going there, and it will be busy.Just because you have to wait does it mean this place is poor...It's called patience and we all need to learn to get some. I have never had a horrible experience at Lowe's. Have I had to wait yes, and I wait like a normal human being. If you ask for help, they will help you... But sometimes it will take some time. I have used online pick up without a problem. I've gone to customer service and I've had some hiccups, but they always work to resolve them. I've also had countertops installed, and the gentleman that did it were great and friendly and professional. They made sure it looked great and that it was perfectly level. I also had a roof installed by them, and didn't have a problem. The men were fast and professional. One of my solar lights may have gotten damaged, but again they're working on a roof with large equipment and one broken solar light is not a big deal. We've had the roof now for 1.5 months, and we have had no problems and no leaks. Overall this place is a good store with good workers, and has some pretty amazing deals. read more

I purchased window blinds at Lowe's. It took a little bit of time to get the guy out to measure. Finally blinds ordered. The measurer called a couple weeks later to schedule install, but the blinds weren't here. They came the same day, so I called the guy back three times over the next week, leaving a message each time. He never called back. I finally called Lowe's, cancelled the installation, and asked for a refund. I have neck pain, but at this point, it looks like I'm just going to have to do it myself. Good job Lowe's! Sure wish Charlottesville had a convenient Home Depot. read more

Love Lowe's but NOT Charlottesville store. Have been valued customer for over 20 years. I can NEVER get a electric cart. The excuse is always "they are ALL being repaired" Why don't I ever have a problem in the Waynesboro store. The Charlottesville store also will keep you on hold forever with the recording "be with you shortly". Cant even leave a message on the store managers voice mail. How can there be such a drastic difference between Waynesboro & Charlottesville store. Thank you, Doug Monty. read more

Extremely unhelpful staff. Needed bolts for my table and four different employees blew me off.

It has been a real hassle remodeling basement for the first time. But Manager Adolfo from Appliance Department has made it so much easier to place, pick up, pay and exchange orders. And John from Flooring, thank you for making carpet choosing fun. We greatly appreciate your excellent customer service. read more

I don' t know if it's because of a lack of competition (no Home Depot nearby), incompetent management, or untrained employees, but this is the worst Lowe's store around. I experience consistently poor customer service, their inventory is inaccurate and under-stocked, and recently they botched two home delivery orders. I used to work for Lowe's and enjoyed working there - I have nothing against the company. But this location is a stinker. read more

The most over staffed under stocked Lowes in the country. I literally leave empty handed more often than not because they constantly run out of things. In the last week they were out of brooms (yes all of them), outdoor water access boxes, couldn't buy the drywall I wanted because it was surrounded by a delivery and not accessible what so ever, and today out of utter disdain climbed a ladder to open one of the 15 boxes of small joint compound they had failed to open and stock on the shelves. This is within 7 days! I was also told after I complained about the joint compound I should just buy the 5 gallon jug because they don't sell the other size much (really appreciate that advice) ......that's because you have it hidden on a shelf 25 feet off the ground! read more

Lowes...Oh how I hate you, let me count the ways! Silly me, when I placed an order online and then subsequently received a "Your order is ready for pick up" email, I thought it might actually be ready. 25 minutes later, I am still standing at the front of the store waiting for some clueless employee walking around in circles to find my order. Customer service FAIL. read more
