Atrocious installation process. Purchased a front door. We paid $40 for someone to come out and measure before we actually purchased the door. The measurement information was relayed back to Lowes and we then purchased the door on November 12, 2021. The door arrived in March of 2022 but installation was delayed because they didn't get a building permit. We finally received an appointment for installation on March 25th. When the installers arrived, they indicated that the door was too big for my opening and would have to be returned to the store. They put the door in my garage and said that Lowe's would contact me to pick it up and I should expect a call from them. By Monday, no one called so I called to get the matter resolved. Unfortunately, Lowes puts the responsibility on the salesman who sold the door to us to handle the matter even though he is now in a different department and you're at the mercy of his work hours. We finally connected and he concluded that the door should fit with some adjustments and an appointment to have it installed was scheduled for April 14th. After no one arrived at the scheduled time, I called the installer and was told it was too windy that day to install the door and that they could possibly be out the next day. It would have been nice to have been given a heads up so I didn't have to waste my time waiting for them to arrive. Better yet, it would have been nice to know whether or not they would actually come the next day. Without a call from the installers, I again contacted Lowe's. I was told that the installer would contact me the following week. Again, when I didn't get a return call, I called the installer. It seems they didn't have me shown as needing an appointment and apparently fell off their radar. We eventually received another appointment on May 4th. Not willing to give up the earliest available appointment, I cancelled a doctors appointment for that day. Sure enough, no one showed up at the scheduled time and no call was made to inform me. I called the installer and was told that the person who was to install the door had quit. I received another date for installation on May 10. The same installers who originally told me that the door wouldn't fit did finally arrive. They remeasured my opening and came to the conclusion that the door still would not fit. To remeasure the door, they removed the trim and chipped it. They said Lowe's would be contacting me. After I let a couple days go by, I contacted Lowe's. They again said that I would be contacted by someone to pick up the door that I had been storing in my garage since March. It wasn't until the week of May 23rd, almost 2 weeks later, I received a call stating that I should be getting a call to have the door picked up. I did get that call and was told they could pick it up on the May 28. I told them that wasn't going to work because I was going to be out of town. The pick up was then scheduled for June 6. On May 27, we received an automated phone call stating that our 'delivery or pick up' would be the following day between 8 and noon. We called the store to clarify what was being delivered as we had another door on order, or what was being picked up. I was told that I needed to talk to the salesman in millwork but he wouldn't be in until afternoon the next day. We called the following day concerned that our June 6th pick up might have been jeopardized. I asked the salesman about the status of the new door order and he told me it was waiting for management to approve the order as the door had gone up in price considerably. This was disappointing as it just created more of a delay in getting our door. Not surprisingly, when we got home on May 30, there was a message left on our answering machine that someone was at our house from Lowe's with a delivery. I have both messages confirming the June 6 pick up and the May 28 delivery saved on my answering machine. So it was a phone call back to Lowe's to see what this delivery was all about. I talked to the head cashier in customer service (?) who was less than accommodating and seemed annoyed at my complaint. She told me that they couldn't order the new door until the old door was returned. She said management wouldn't do anything different. It's not my fault that the door has been in my garage since March. She said that the installers should have returned it. Again, not my concern. I also don't quite understand if they were here on the 28th to pick up the door, why is it that I have to wait until June 6th? Also, that $40 measurement fee was supposed to be credited when we purchased the door. No where on the invoice does it show a credit. Lowe's requires full payment which they've had since November and I have nothing to show for it, not even a door on order. read more
