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!

Had a great education in eradicating pests and salesperson also referred me to another store (not…read moreHewitt's) that might have what she recommended as they were out of stock at the moment and knew I needed it that day.

For 25 years I have over paid a few bucks here or there for fertilizer or commercially produced…read morebagged items while also purchasing thousands in landscaping to support Hewitts. Today, Monday wasn't busy. Myself and one customer. I purchased $400 worth of shrubs and various compost, fertilizer etc. The store was more than staffed, several men and women working in the landscape area, but no offer to assist. One man did however make sure he wrote the green slip for 6 forsythia in my wagon. And then he watched me wheel that wagon to the front, and watched me return to where he was still standing and get the second wagon full of plants and then watched me wheel that one to the front also. Not busy, standing around with the 4 other employees. Not a hose in their hand, no moving landscape. Standing. Watching a 60+, 5' tall, 100 lb lady loading and wheeling around landscape. Chatting, phone checking. I went in and paid the cashier with a pixie cut. She could not seem any less friendly. In my head I rationalized that maybe she was having a bad day. This tells you how unfriendly she was; as a customer I was expending mental energy wondering why the Hewitt's employee seemed annoyed with me making a purchase. I had purchased bags of compost and potting soil and she told me to drive around to pick them up. I told her I had a lot to load into the truck and please wait to call, it would take me a few minutes to load up. Again, no offer to send anyone to give me a hand. It took me several minutes to load most of it but I needed another cardboard box. I returned to the store to get another cardboard box and she said "you should hurry, I called them". Incredulous, I stared at her waiting for a smile or to say something else, nothing. She wasn't kidding, she wasn't having a bad day, she was stunningly rude. I drove back and the kid loaded 6 bags of compost and he said you are all set. I said there are 2 bags of potting soil too. He said they didn't say anything about that. Do you have a receipt? I sure did, for $400 which included the two bags of $5 potting soil that he was worried were being stolen because pixie cut didn't give him accurate info. I actually asked the guy loading the bags if the store had changed hands, it was so awful and uncomfortable, I thought maybe Jason was no longer there. He assured me it was the same management. Good to know. I understand loss prevention, but without employee common sense, an ability to practice some discretion, meet an expectation that customers should be treated cordially or to help customers move and load landscaping that is being purchased, we don't need to shop there. Way to end a 20 plus relationship Hewitts. I'll shop the big box where I hate what I am supporting, but I like the way that I am treated.

I'm pretty sure that buying flowers at Price Chopper is one of those things that everybody wants to…read moredo or has done at some point, but nobody really wants to admit to it or openly promote it because it might seem... tacky. Fortunately for you, fellow yelper, I am an honest kinda gal. And if you think it makes me tacky, well... I can live with that. Let's be real. Flowers die. Unless you're getting something with roots in soil, you shouldn't really expect flowers to last more than a few days, amiright? So why spend a ton of your hard-earned money?? I shop at this PC regularly for groceries and can't help but notice when I walk by the florist section how nice and healthy all the plants and flowers look. I can't recall seeing anything here that looked even remotely wilted. Now, I don't buy flowers often. But I was on a tight schedule on this particular day, and when a yelp search didn't show me any other florists nearby, (except one that was shut down when I got there, but that's another story...) I headed to PC. I was not terribly hopeful, since I was looking specifically for gerber daisies, and I wasn't sure how likely they would be to have them at such a small location. But they had a variety of colors behind the counter that had just arrived that day. The sales associate was extremely helpful in telling me how they should be cared for and arranged the ones I selected with greens in a nice bouquet for my friend. They were beautiful. And the best, tackiest part of this experience was the price. A smaller but otherwise similar arrangement I found online from a non-PC florist ran about $50... I paid ~$17 for 15 beautiful gerber daisies with greens. And (*gasp*) I would do it again.

Good selection of fresh flowers and cards to mark our 35th anniversary at a reasonable price and…read morethe flowers still look wonderful
