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!

I stopped by around 5PM on a Saturday afternoon and was the only customer in the store. I needed…read moresome wire ring terminals for an electrical project I was working on. There were two employees in the store including one that I walked past while he was doing something at the front door. No "Hello" or "Can we help you find something." I wandered down the central aisle looking both ways at every side aisle until I found what I wanted. I took it to the counter and both guys were counting money. Again, no "hello" or "did you find what you were looking for." I don't think they actually said anything to me the whole time. Small hardware stores need excellent customer service to compete with big box stores and the internet. This one experience was disappointing.

Throughout my life I have loved going to independent hardware stores. I enjoy the atmosphere; I…read moreenjoy browsing the aisles, and invariably I find things I didn't originally come for and am inspired to complete or start new projects. And, the employees are typically very friendly, very helpful, and very patient. Well, there is an exception to every rule and I found it at Phillips Hardware. I'd just moved to Delmar and had previously only gone to Lowes frequently as it is more convenient to my house. But, I went to Phillips wanting (and hoping for) good customer service and the ability to ask questions. I didn't get it. I needed some chain cut and some eye hooks for a ceiling rack I was hanging in my kitchen. The woman at the front counter was quite pleasant and called someone to help me -- perhaps the owner. A sullen uncommunicative man appeared and directed me to follow him. He seemed severely irritated to have to serve me and I was as polite as possible, treating him as if he was the customer. After cutting the chain, refusing to make eye contact he thrust the pieces at me. I asked where I might find eye hooks and, acting inconvenienced, he pointed to where they were; when I saw a small selection I asked if there might be others elsewhere and he snapped that that what was there was all that there were to be had. Clearly he doesn't like either serving customers or being asked questions. I immediately decided then I would refrain from further purchases at Phillips and after cashing out drove around Delmar to Glenmont to go to Lowes. There I actually did find very helpful sales personnel, and walked out with many purchases. What a severe disappointment Phillips proved to be; I actually prefer supporting independent businesses and will pay more for items in order to do so. I won't, however, put up with rudeness and bad customer service, which is why I will never return to Phillips. Btw, I found a wide array of eye hooks in Lowes, and they were among my purchases. I should have simply started there.

They also didn't charge me full price for the work Billy already put into it. They whole group ( family I believe ) were very friendly. We had a few laughs and I would highly recommend them over others in the area. See for yourself! The friendliness and honesty itself is worth it. But their price was actually cheaper too. I got a much better mower with a bigger motor and a v-twin for only a couple hundred dollars over a new craftsman that didn't have a hydrostatic set up And was $2300. It was a no brainer to buy the Husky from Weisheit!! And you cannot get better service, Really. Even delivered same day after Billy took out of the crate and assembled what was needed. Try them people. You will NOT regret Rich

Upon arrival at their 8am opening time, I was greeted by Billy, who was very knowledgable and explained all their great models (Ariens, Gravely, etc). By noon, I made my decision on a Gravely, got a quote and it was prepped and delivered by 5:30 PM!! Additionally, they took away my older Cub Cadet mower for evaluation and possible purchase. Great service. Billy and Chris are professional, competent and responded quickly to all my questions. I'm very pleased, and look forward to a long relationship.

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
