The wrong plants I received.

I ordered 6 plants from Lowe's online on Monday, May 12th, that were stated to be only available in this manner and cannot be picked up at my closest store location in Glenmont, NY. The delivery service that Lowe's has contracted for advertised same day delivery is Instacart and added $15.00 to my order and was worth it for me. The plants that I ordered, Candytuft perennials, were on sale for $5.00 a piece and the site indicated 21 were available, plus delivery, plus tax bringing the total to $48 and change. I placed the order via PayPal. The plants arrived the next day, not the same day as promised but I was notified by shipment tracking of a delay. The plants that arrived were not what I ordered. Instead I received 6 Creeping Phlox, which were available at the Glenmont store. Instead of $5.00 a piece, these plants were $8.98 a piece, adding nearly 50% more cost with tax to my order. I was not notified of the switch. I was not asked for approval for the substitution or the greater cost. I originally thought a mistake was made selecting the plants and not a deliberate switch. The day that the Phlox arrived I called the store and spoke with seven different people about what I should do to correct this. No one was able to provide an answer. I was switched over to the "fulfillment center" line and the person who answered had no idea why the call was transferred to him as he was not the fulfillment center. He stated that he had no idea how to resolve the situation and I asked the speak to the store manager, Kevin. Instead, Kevin was not available and I spoke with the assistant store manager who introduced himself on the phone as Matt. Matt said he was unable to check on the matter as he was not near his computer. I gave him my number. I had grown frustrated by this point, but did not swear at him at any time but shared that becoming very aggravated. I just wanted to know who I should call to resolve this matter. He promised a return call. Two and half hours later into the latter part of the afternoon while I was attempting to do some other gardening, I gave up waiting and called back. Matt "schooled" me with impatient brusqueness that I "had no idea how busy he was and that he was on a forklift when I first called and then was busy helping customers." I reminded him that I was also a customer. He then said "I'm not some IT guy that sits at a desk in front of his computer all day. I'll get back to you when I have time. Apparently I'm the only one who knows how to fix this for you because I guess you think everyone else here is incompetent." I replied, "Whoa, you're really going to go there?" I then asked when did he anticipate being available. He said fifteen or twenty minutes. It is now two days later and I have not heard from Matt. Yesterday I called a Lowe's 1-800 support line that I found online and explained my situation. While helpful, Chante said I would have to bring the flowers into the store to receive a refund. I stated that Lowe's should contact Instacart to retrieve the plants. She said she was unable to provide that option. So now I'd have to travel to them which is what I could have originally done instead of ordering the plants that was stated not available for pick up. After our call ended, I called my bank to dispute these charges from Lowe's due to not receiving the correct product and creating an unauthorized charge. PayPal didn't allow me to get this far because the charge was still showing as pending and I wanted to nip this ridiculous nonsense created by Lowe's horrific customer service, unauthorized charge, and product switch in the bud. On Yelp, this Glenmont store location has only 2 stars, with most complaints stemming from poor and rude customer service. This is unfortunate as we've purchased many items from there over the years, but this fiasco and poor treatment has soured me on this enterprise. I've discovered how low Lowe's will go to great a customer like nuisance garbage. Your call if you want to risk a problem like I and others have encountered dealing with the Glenmont staff.

Went online to order begonias It said there were eleven left so I went in person. Nobody could "find" them. Their computers actually said they had 13! I wasted gas at today's prices driving from Latham to Albany to Glenmont, all because the website said they had them. I even called first and the monkey robot even said they had eleven in stock. Nobody had anything or knew anything and could not care less. Lowes owes me a quarter tank of gas for their lies. Going on facebook and twitter to let everyone I know to never to shop there! Customer service desk was downright nasty at Colonie - those that weren't standing around coffee-clutching that is. Those are you customer service choices: nasty or ignored. Clean up your inventory!

What really buttered my biscuit was them telling me my 220v outlet was not working....so, I hired an electrician to come out to fix an outlet that turns out was working perfectly.....($189.95) minimum house call charge. Also they had issue with the drainage for my dishwasher.....had a plumber come out to tell me they only needed a $2.75 PCV flange to get past their installation Issue. This is not the experience I expected and apparently purchasing a Heavy Duty Washer and Dryer, a Refrigerator, a Dishwasher and an Induction Stove ( which came out to more than a couple bucks) all at the same time does not warrant sending out installation people with more than one installation under their belts. We're not likely to use them again. Mostly because of the Electrician thing

I moved to this area and into my house just over 3 months ago. My gas oven started making an odd…read morenoise when coming up to temperature. Once at desired temp, no noise was made. I took the bottom of the oven apart and watched the flame when I turned it on. The flame would go up and back down, over and over until it reached the temperature. I took a video of this, showed it to a family member who recommended I go to Rensselaer Appliance. I went there the next morning and was told that they didn't sell that brand of appliance but would order the part and install it. I was quoted a price and then asked if I would be putting good money into something that it would be better to replace. Bottom line was fix it. The service tech that came was Mike. He was polite, professional, thorough and obvious to me he knew exactly what he was doing. When it came to pay, the invoice did not have a breakout of the cost of the part nor labor. When I questioned this, Mike very politely said charges are by the job and if I had questions I should call the store which I did after he left. (I had no problem with Mike, he was just doing his job.) I spoke with the owner asking for the cost of the part and was told he didn't know what it was that he had ordered it. I asked wouldn't there be paperwork for that and he said he would have to look into it and call me back. When he called back he was not courteous nor pleasant in any way especially when I questioned the charge for labor. Mike was here, start to finish for 45 minutes. The labor cost for a 45 minute repair was $279.54. When I questioned (the owner) this he told me they charge by the job and the next time to go somewhere else! He was extremely professional, rude and condescending to me and yes Bob, I will go elsewhere and never set foot in your store again. I was very, very disappointed, to say the least with this overall experience and how I was treated. As an fyi, I have never written a review about any business prior to this. I was treated so unprofessionally, I just could not let this go unspoken.

Our washing machine had gone to the happy hunting grounds and I had purchased many things from Cocca's in the past so decided to give them another try for a new washer. I was surprised to see that it had been taken over by Marcella's which I knew nothing about. My wife and I were greeted by a representative by the name of Peter Harvey, who was extremely personable and listened to what we wanted. I had done my homework in advance and knew exactly what brands I was interested in. Peter honored my interest in only those brands and proceeded to show us several models that fit the features I was looking for. We did end up selecting one of the models I went in looking for and found Peter to be a great representative not only did he explain all the features, but he showed us a model of the same brand that we wanted that was on a major clearance sale and actually had more features than the one we had actually looked at. In the end, we did end up purchasing the clearance model and there was an accessory that went with it and we got a price and I didn't particularly like the price so I asked them to do better and without hesitating Andrew, the customer service manager there took $100 off the price that I didn't like Sometimes you just have to ask the question. Andrew was really great about it. He didn't give us any attitude to make it look like he was doing us a favor. He just wanted to continue my previous relationship with the business. Because Peter and Andrew were so nice, we also purchased the extended warranty, which added an extra five years to the manufacturers Warranty. Normally I don't purchase aftermarket warranties, but the price was extremely reasonable, I thought, and the presentation was very friendly and not pushy at all. Peter set up for delivery within two days and so far the experience has been extremely positive. I may come back and post how the delivery goes since they are delivering the new one and removing the old one all for extremely reasonable charge.

This is now Marcella's of Albany. I bought my dishwasher there 13 years ago when it was Cocca's…read moreand I was pleased. Our Refrigerator died and we went to all the big box stores looking for a new one. Had lot's of information. Decided to add Marcella's to the list before we were done for the day. Not only did Ned, who took care of us, know more about the products we had looked at previously, their prices were the same or better. They charged less for warrentee and installation and take away. It was a no brainer. So if your in the need for an appliance, add them to your list along with the big box stores!

Over the past twenty years, I have found this to be the case. I recently replaced my original dw with a new Asko from Ackerman's, whose technician and I ran into problems that called for an oscillating saw (neither of us had one and it would have taken an hour to locate and obtain one from a neighbor) but were solved with hammer, chisel, muscle, and skill (none of it mine). Really impressive.

So, I either had to have it delivered or else rent a truck to transport it. Delivery charges are $80 and several weeks out, so that left option #2. Thankfully, they had a pick-up truck in stock. They won't, however, hold it for you so it is first-come-first-served. Thankfully, I called ahead and the truck was on their lot so I was able to drive over and rent it. The process went quick though I needed to show them my driver's license, insurance paperwork, and have a deposit put on my credit card. All standard stuff. I only needed the truck to drive 7 miles each way, and I had it back within the first 75 minutes so my total cost was about $20. That wasn't bad at all! Their employee, Hans, was super friendly throughout the process. I will point out that HD's selection of plywood here was horrible. Nice hardwoods like birch were non-existent, as were smaller thicknesses like 1/4". That being said, their 1-by lumber was very good compared to several Lowes I had been in. This is all likely due to Covid, so I won't penalize them for that. It is something to keep in mind though.
