Lowe's Home Improvement - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Merced, California

Customer Service is awful. When you call Lowe's phones just ring and ring and if somebody does answer the phone they tell you told and they don't come back to help you. I will never shop at this particular store in Merced ever again. read more

Customer service is horrible. They are rude disrespectful to customers. They often don't have a clue

Appliance Supervisor misrepresented her job title as Appliance manager when I asked to speak to her manager over her refusal to price match an electric range citing $50 discount cannot be handwritten despite initialed by Home Depot. She denied having business cards. An Assistant Store Manager was dismissive 'I don't see it going anywhere'. Lowe's doesn't answer calls! (209) 385-5000. Complained to Corporate. read more

If I could leave most zero stars, I would. You can never find nobody to help you. I even asked the front end to call somebody to the-lights department to help me. Nobody showed up. You see employees walk around everybody's looking at their phone or just not paying attention to the customers they don't say hi they don't ask if they can help you no wonder my wife orders everything we need from Amazon. read more

If you need keys made Lowe's, don't use the Minute Key Kiosk. I didn't know I had a choice. I needed 2 keys and made them at the Minute Key machine. Neither worked so when I took them back, I was told that Lowe's doesn't stand behind that project. Instead I was given a phone number to call. Lowe's has an in-house key maker which an employee has to use. It is about half the cost and the keys work fine. read more

Ordered a fridge Monday from Lowe's because they said it could be here by Tuesday. Got too late Tuesday night but they didn't reschedule for Wednesday - they did nothing. Delivery company said that's on Lowes and Lowes said that the delivery company was going to deliver Wednesday. Now I had to reorder and am hoping they deliver on Friday - a week with no fridge and over 95. Same exact fridge at Home Depot for same price but wouldn't be delivered until Wednesday, so I went with what I though was going to be quicker ha ha jokes on me. read more

Placed a $800 lumber order yesterday before 2PM cutoff for same day delivery. My order was not delivered that day. Today, I called customer service and on the first call I was rudely spoken to and cut off. No resolution. On the 2nd call I finally got someone on the phone who tried to help but they kept me on hold for 30+ minutes while they attempted to confirm a driver for delivery. Still no confirmed resolution and worse no delivery. Failure on all fronts from Lowes. My advice is to not use Lowes as they are completely inept. If you're going to broadcast same day delivery (and charge for it) you should actually fulfill your promise. Again, use caution when using Lowes same day delivery. It's horrible! read more

Customer service is HORRIBLE! First of all it's hard to find somebody to help you. I see 2 or 3 walking around together and asked for help. They said someone would be over. Finally a young girl comes over and says the blind cutting machine isn't working. I asked her to get the manager and he says there's been issues but he can try. Worked perfectly. It feels like nobody wants to work there. We used to go to Lowe's because Hime Depot was so bad. Lowe's used to be top notch. Now I think they are as bad or worse than Home Depot. Very unfriendly and he was a manager. Ugh read more

Great experience! My fiancé and I came during Black Friday sales (on Saturday) and received SO much support. We bought blinds for our entire house, a refrigerator, and a rug. We got 50% of blinds which was a GREAT deal & received support from multiple staff members offering us water and offering to walk us through the process of ordering various sizes for our blinds. Wonderful customer service! read more

Customer Services is sooo awful!! I work for a construction company and was trying to exchange a door for another one. There was a miscommunication with the company and one of their employees. I tried reasoning with her, explaining that it was the correct number, and I even tried contacting them for confirmation. I told her to call again, and she said she couldn't help me with this. Not only was she being rude about this, but she kept neglecting any other number that the company was giving me. She even told another worker to neglect any number I gave her and that I couldn't be helped. Basically, they left the account as it is and told me that the owner of the company card had to come here personally. Hello, there should be a better system for this, and the workers should not be rude. I am trying to do my job as well! This was today in the morning! The morning employees are the worst! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Elia flooring today. She was very informative & was quite helpful with our flooring needs. Outstanding Customer Service very much appreciated read more

This is the worst location and the worst store I've ever dealt with. Customer service is awful. Hold times/wait times are ridiculous. There is no professionalism. They think they put you on hold and you can hear everything they are saying. Real unprofessional they need to do better training and hiring. This is ridiculous. This is specifically for the installation department. I have been trying to get carpet installed and have been getting the worst run around. read more

This place has seriously tanked. Best highlight: they have a wide selection of home repair tools, equipment, lawn & garden supplies, as well as other items for cleaning and repairs. My , if you can get through to customer service, which I don't recommend because the information they provide is inaccurate. I was told they will cut drywall to size. Then once I get to the cutting station I am told they can't, then the worker says he's going to check and isn't found for over five minutes. I ended up having to make a return the same day I purchased. read more

sadly, to say that I will not be purchasing anything from Lowes again because I ordered cabinet I never receive my doors. No no one never follow up with me. I just been getting the runaround. It's been going to be a year and I still don't have cabinet doors. I spent about 20 grand and this is considered fraud falsifying company saying the job is completed, but which it's not the installation person who came to my house to install the actually ran into ran into my house with his work truck and damage my whole house and which his insurance told me that he quit the job he doesn't wanna work there no more damage my house even offered to talk to me or make it right at this I just refund. It's going to be a year without cabinet read more

This Lowe's had gone down in many categories. The associates they have working as cashiers in the garden department are very slow and there are constantly long lines. They do not keep their shelves stocked (despite the product being in top stock or out in the parking lot). There is a lack of customer service. They do not accept Apple Pay. There are NEVER any carts for customers to use. Nor are there flat beds. My husband is always having to go back outside into the parking lot to get a cart. Even today at 9:45AM the manager, Matt walked outside to greet his family and just walked by an empty cart area. It is 10am now and still no carts as we are leaving. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Empty bays. My husband had to go into the parking lot again just to grab products he needed. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Merced, California

Get it together Lowe's! I have been here for 30 minutes waiting for someone to bring a small order from one side of the store to the other. Do you not care about your customer's time? How hard is this? When you send your customers a notification that the order is ready for pick up, but then the order isn't up at the front pick up area. Why? Fix the system, make it easier for us to give your our business rather than your competitor that we are happy to go to instead. read more

The woman working in the plumbing fittings section was extremely knowledgeable & very patient & helpful. She guided me from a limited selection of plastic/pvc fittings to a great selection of brass fittings and flexible tubing that turned out to be exactly what I needed & was easy to work with. Price of parts was reasonable & I feel confident that repairs to my project will work for a very long time now. read more

Jeremy helped me find these clamps that I needed! See I don't even know the name of them, I described him to shape and function and he automatically knew! I was almost leaving today with nothing, but thankfully he found what I needed in a variety too!!! Thanks Jeremy you really made my day! read more

I have been coming to lows since they opened in Merced,Have spent thousands and thousands of dollars with them, I will never stepfoot in there again. 90% of their staff are complete morons!! If you want to go to Lowe's for a quick 20 minute trip, plan on it being 2 hours. I get it a bunch of thieves are allowed to steal with no consequence, so everything's locked up. So if you find a $10 Item you need. Wait about 20 minutes to get any kind of help, And of course, the staff will ignore you look away from you or run the other direction. This store has become completely Terrible horrible place, After being in line for over 40 minutes. I Mentioned to the girl that's always been really Horrible anyways, She can't even find an item if its right in front of Her FACE. I said you know I can get this anywhere, right? She said, well, go ahead. I actually understand their frustration But they have not one register open. And we're expected to work at Lowe's as well as give them our money, Yet we're treated like the criminal. While they stare at you and the Actual. criminals, just walk out with the stuff, I've never said this ever, but I hope to God they go out of business. They are awful and they are running the place horribly!! Maybe try hiring Some qualified people would really be nice. They have lost me as a customer forever!!! And also when somebody actually comes up to help you, they're just lying. They work for the solar company and you have to be solicited. And they won't go away from you even though you tell them you're not interested. read more

My dad had a terrible experience at the Merced Lowes. Considering their attitude towards wearing a mask you can assume that the whole store is contaminated. Don't go to the Merced Lowes if you want to avoid getting Covid 19. Below is what my dad went through. This morning I made the last purchase I will ever make at Lowes. As I approached the check-out area in the Merced Lowe's, and the recording about how Lowe's is safety minded during this coronavirus pandemic played over the store's speaker system, a Lowes employee, Dee, walked towards me from the opposite direction. She had her mask on, below her chin. She stopped at the paint counter and struck up a conversation with the two employees there. One of them, Angela, wore her mask hung loosely on her right ear. I paused and waited for their conversation to end. When it did, Dee turned to leave, her back to me. I said "Pardon me, ma'am." She stopped and turned. "Who do I complain to about Lowes' employees not wearing masks?" "What?" she asked. "You and Angela are not wearing masks. Who do I complain to about Lowes' employees not wearing masks?" I repeated. "That would be the manager." Dee replied. "Very well, I would like to speak to the manager." Sometime after that, Dee pulled her mask up over her mouth and nose. Angela, however, demonstrated an attitude hostile to the safety and well-being of your customers. "Excuse me, are you a police officer? Because only a police officer can tell me what to do. Are you a police officer?" Angela demanded, mask still dangling from her ear. "I'm a lawyer." I replied in my normal speaking voice. "Excuse me. What? I can't hear you." Angela retorted. "I'm a lawyer." I repeated, raising my voice a bit. Angela stepped a couple of steps forward, "What? I can't hear you," she repeated flippantly. "I'm a lawyer!" I raised my voice to full volume. "Oh, well, I couldn't hear you through that respirator." She responded and reiterated that only a police officer could tell her what to do. Angela then began ordering me to leave the store. I responded that I would wait to speak to a manager. Angela repeated her demand that I leave the store without making my purchase and I stood firm. This all transpired at or around 8:00 a.m. this morning. The manager on duty finally arrived. Her concern was that I was speaking to her employees, and yelling at her employees. I told her I only raised my voice because Angela claimed she couldn't hear me through my respirator (a cartridge-filter mask I bought some time ago for spray-painting). The manager did not ask me what I saw; she just reiterated that I should only talk to her; I reiterated that I had asked to speak to a manager and waited for her. She invited me to finish my transaction and leave. By this time, Dee was telling another Lowes' employee that she just pulled her mask down to have a conversation. I heard her repeat that version of events to the manager as I left. Angela's mask still dangled from her right ear. I am over 65. That puts me in a high-risk category. My wife is over 65 and has Multiple Sclerosis and a host of other conditions that put her at extremely high risk. I must do what I can to reduce that risk to as close to zero as possible, in Merced, where known cases have doubled in the last two weeks. Dee did not follow Lowe's' safety guidelines when she lowered her mask to have a conversation. In her version, she only briefly lowered her mask, however when I first noticed her she was about 5 yards from the paint counter and her mask was already below her mouth, wrapped around her chin. Angela, on the other hand, demonstrated a flippant attitude and a hostility towards being held accountable to follow Lowe's' safety guidelines and the order from Governor Newsom regarding the wearing of masks in public and in work settings. Regrettably, I didn't think to take out my cell phone and make a video of her comments and demeanor. Had I done so, I would have posted that on social media as soon as I got home. Your manager on duty this morning was more concerned with me talking to her staff than with the safety of the public. She didn't want to hear from me about the exchange I had with Angela, initiated by Angela. That, too, is unacceptable in my opinion. As I said above, this morning I made my last purchase at Lowe's. Since your employees care so little about my health and safety, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

I used to buy all of my appliances from Lowes but over the years they are getting worse with customer service or lack thereof. There is rarely anyone on the appliance floor and when you hit the call button NO ONE comes to help. The last time, I waited 30 minutes and gave up. I discovered that I can order an appliance at Costco and it includes FREE delivery, FREE set up, and FREE take away. Their garden section has great choices and plenty of supplies. read more

Easy parking, good service, plenty of things here for home projects.

Don't buy appliances from Lowe's. I bought a washer, dryer and fridge from them about two years ago. I didn't want to have to worry about it for a while so I bought brand new and added the extended warranty. Well, the washing machine is now leaking all over my floor. I filed a claim with the warranty, booked an appointment, and the contractor showed up a day early and left because I was at work. When I called, he rudely told me that they're not open Saturdays. When I told him Lowe's booked an appointment with them for today, he talked to me like I was an idiot. So now I regret buying from Lowe's. They contract a separate company to handle their warranties, that company contracts cheap, unprofessional repairmen who may or may not even show up... I can't hang my hat on that. Now I have a washing machine that is leaking, a warranty that I paid in full but cannot seem to get help with and no way to get help with it. Looks like I may need to pay out of pocket to repair an appliance with an extended warranty. read more

If I could rate it -1 star I would. I do not recommend this place. If anything they need to shut that store down. Home Depot is better. And wayy better customer service. I had a problem once and I asked to speak to a manager but none were to good use. (As I expected) so I asked to speak to the store manager. (David Begin) someone needs to get that man out of there. He is the most unprofessional Store manager I ever met. Btw: To my information I heard he helps his hiring manager hire women that he finds attractive. And I don't doubt it seeing the way he looks at his female employees. Get new management or CLOSE IT DOWN!!! read more

The sellers put in new carpet when I bought my house. First, they couldn't get the carpet she ordered. Since escrow was closing and I needed to move in she settled for cheap carpet. The guys that installed the carpet were contracted through Lowe's. They took several days and were not finished on time. They did a very poor job. There are rolls throughout the floor. You can see the seams and it's lifted. Horrible job!! read more

I'm really disappointed in the service I got yesterday. I ordered online on Sunday, Monday it was ready. I went at 5:00 p.m. for curbside pickup, checked in and waited - and waited - and waited. I finally went in the store and they checked. The order had not even been picked even though I got the message it was ready. I waited another 15 mins and they had to fill the order first. I was there from 5:00 to 6:30 - just not acceptable. read more

I went to Lowe's today to purchase just a couple of items and take a couple items back. I no longer need it for my remodel as I was standing in line to pay for my items one of the people next to the self check out came in right in front of me closed off the person that was the cashier. which I found to be totally unprofessional. (I was the only person waiting) I said why are you cutting me off I'm already in line she shrugged her shoulders walk to the other side I set my items down and walked out the store. not the first time Lowe's has had terrible customer service read more

Such a demeaning work environment from the outside looking in. Went to go buy some supplies for a cleaning job. Had pretty much everything I needed. Was helped out by some employees in directing. It was fine. None of the lines were open so I did self checkout no biggie. At self checkout they have a camera and a large screen showing your face. So demeaning I don't want to see my face or know that I am being watched. Like your are some criminal that can't be trusted. Just awful. The voice in the self checkout system that can't be silenced or lowered and it's very loud and obnoxious. Fix it. What compelled me to write this review though. Was seeing how horribly some employees were being treated by management/trainers. Went to Lowes on the 22nd of August 2022 around 7:45 in the morning. They had a large group of employees wearing red vests all in a circle by checkout. They had a team building exercise of clapping or something. I don't know for what but you could hear everyone smacking their hands together from a few aisles down. Then when I was checking out I was closer to them. I Was able to hear the meeting. Heard one person ask a question. The response to the question was. "You should already know this we shouldn't have to remind about the surveys." How incredibly rude!!! You treat your employees questions like that? If you don't have management that treats employees right how can you expect them to treat customers right? I can't believe that a company with 300,000 employees don't know how to treat them nice and in a considerate way. Lowes I will second guess the next time i need a home improvement related product. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Tyler, Matt and Jose are awesome - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Merced, California

Wondering why they only get 2 stars on this location. Worst customer service including managers. I order a table saw on December 2, 2020 when the sale person tell me it's going to be here December 17th, but two months later I still haven't received. Every time I call someone give me a different dates, when that date came I call, they tell me it's not there and give me a new dates. I even spoke with manager and he don't know anything either. I love to shop here but I will have to take my business somewhere who knows their jobs well , train their staff well and don't give out false informations read more

Very bad phone customer service when trying to get a refund. Got the run around from several associates at this location. "Jay" the assistant manager wasn't very helpful either. read more

For the past couple of month, I've been going to Lowe's and Home Depot for house projects. And so this is my overall review of how Lowe's is. Products: 3/5 So the products they offer in terms of appliances and small DIY projects are good. Though, anything in regards to landscaping, it is pricey. So I would recommend going to Home Depot as they offer better deals. This Lowe's is pretty misleading. For instance, there is a gazebo inside the store that I inquired about because there was a $200 reduction fee; and customer service tells me it hasn't been available for 3 months. That is misleading. Because why would you have the gazebo with the product listing as if it is still in stock? And for 3 months. This is the same issue we had with their sheds. Customer Service: 2/5 It varies. When I go to gardening or even at self checkout it is good. I will say that it is pretty messed up that Lowe's lets their elderly employees work in the cold while the younger employees are inside. Just saying. Other than that, the customer service center could use some work. There are a couple of employees who are very nice and helpful. But the ones that could use extra training, it is memorable and should be noted. I'll give you an example. There was a girl in customer service who I was returning the Bissell Carpet Cleaner rental. She noted that the bottom of the rental was dirty. I didn't know you were supposed to clean that spot. She offered me a broom to clean it, but I declined and said I'd pay the extra cleaning fee. [I had other errands to run and didn't have all the time in the world to clean it.] Immediately, she was annoyed and quickly tried to get rid of me. However, I had another transaction which I had to bring up. Please note. I am 7 months pregnant and 5ft tall. I ordered two 6' tables and 8 chairs. They brought out my order. And she didn't even allow me to bring my car up to the front so I wouldn't have a hard time. In fact, I hauled my order to my car. What have I learned? Even though I'm pregnant, I'm less lazy than some of the girls in customer service. To Lowe's, I had to point this out because if you keep hiring more people like this girl, I am certain you will lose more customers. Website/App: 4/5 The app is pretty nifty. It keeps track of your receipts and so on. I think that's clever, because I lose my receipts quite easily. The app is nice in that it can help me locate the items I need if I go to the store or if I order online it lets me know when my order is ready. The main issue I have is when there is a high volume that the Lowe's employees don't immediately set aside when you place the order. Because the app will charge your card/bank account. And when they are out of stock, they force cancel it. And it takes awhile. So, that is something Lowe's needs to work on. read more

Expensive; inventory is well stocked; employees do not voluntarily offer to help you find something like they do at Home Depot. This place is cleaner and more organized than the Home Depot nearby. Despite being expensive, they will price match. I bought a $400 Dyson vacuum and then went to Best Buy next door the same hour and saw the same vacuum selling $20 cheaper; I came back to Lowes and Jessica at customer service made it quick and easy to credit back $21.60 back to my card! read more

We had Lowe's home installation services come out and measure for two different fence options and new windows back in October. The professionals they sent out were friendly and knowledgeable so we thought "this is going to be great". Boy were we wrong. We were promised quotes within 24 hours. When they didn't arrive we followed up multiple times via text over the next month, and eventually called the store back to find out what was going on. Finally, in mid December, more than 2 months after the measurements were taken we got one of the two fence option quotes. We never did receive a quote for the second fence option or the windows. Figured if the communication was this horrible just to get a quote there was no way we we could trust them for the install. We ended up going with Home Depot instead as they were able to provide same-day quotes on both a fence and windows and have just been very responsive in general. read more

Used to be our favorite store. Now? The options for departments is gone, ALL CALLS go to a busy signal. I ordered garbage cans online yesterday, they said they didn't have them and cancelled order. I called, told them the cans were on aisle 2, bay 3 etc, and was on hold for TWENTY minutes before they came back to tell me, yeah, they are in stock. THEN I get an email that says they won't be ready for seven days. After eight calls this morning I get ahold of someone intelligent who says the idiots put the wrong thing in the wrong place, now I have no idea if they are in stock or not. Absolutely intolerable. Customer service (except for Alex in the garden area today) has plummeted to a new, all time low. read more

Horrible customer service! Delayed my delivery. No heads up. No phone call. Computer glitch was the excuse; 'and other customers are having the same problem'! Well then fix the problem. I took time off work because some scumbag will steal it off my driveway if I'm not there. Add to the fact that the help I lined up to assist with the project are inconvenienced as well. Get your house in order Lowes! Should have went with Home Depot! read more

Went to Lowe's at 9pm and were kicked out by a tall Caucasian man that was very rude. We saw yelp said they closed at 10 am and thought we had time. I understand with covid all hours have changed and we understand that. We knew exactly what we needed and were steps away from it when this man just told us to we are closed corporate will be closing the registers now and did not even offer us help to get what we needed. He didn't bother to ask us if he could help look for an item. We go to Lowe's often and sad to see the poor customer service. The young lady at the register was very nice and she sounded like she felt bad. No need to kick someone out so rudely it's not like we were just wondering around for hours we literally had just gotten in the door. Sad to see such rude employee use such rude manners and loud aggressive voice sounded so demanding. read more
