I bought a staircase runner at the Rochester, NH Lowe's online for store pickup, using a giftcard. When my husband went to get the order, they found out the store had cut the wrong color runner. He was told that Rochester Lowe's doesn't carry the color runner we purchased online and to try the Greenland store. My husband drove to the Greenland store and they did have the runner in the right color, and that this color was usually backordered. My husband went to purchase the runner with the gift card, and found out that the card had been charged for the first runner purchase, even though it was cancelled because the Rochester store cut the wrong color runner. My husband asked if the he could have the runner since Rochester had already charged him for it. Greenland refused, stating they are different stores and that he had to go back to Rochester. So he asked them to call Rochester and the customer service representative at Greenland said "It's Rochesters problem not ours.," Keep in mind my husband has the original email with the order number and the original gift card used, so everything says he purchased the runner. So my husband leaves without the runner, and missing $71.87 from our Lowe's gift card. He calls me upset, and rightfully so, so I call Lowe's in Rochester, the woman who answers the phone is pushy, telling me she's with a customer and asked what did I want. I tell I had a problem with my giftcard, she tells me it will be a while the puts me on hold. I wait on hold, thinking that the store is probably busy and customer service is short handed. Finally someone else answers the phone and say "She went home sick what do you want?" I explained about the gift card and that they charged me for something I didn't get and the whole incident with Greenland. She at least apologised for my husband's ordeal, and told me Lowe's was going to mail me a giftcard in 3-5 days with the amount owed too me. I asked her why they hadn't just told my husband this when he cancelled the order in Rochester, and save him the trouble of driving an hour to Greenland. She told me they should have, but they never do. Ok. So now I am waiting for my refund that is coming by snail mail in a week so I can buy a runner that I already purchased, but was the wrong color, in a store that may or may not have it, because it's always backordered. All because Lowe's doesn't give store credit for their screw up at a different Lowe's. I've worked customer service retail for over thirty years and I have never seen such a screwed up system, that has no communication between stores. Who makes the customer wait a week for their refund?!! Any other store just gives you a refund at the store in the form of a giftcard and you're done. I will never ask another gift card or purchase another thing at the Rochester or Greenland Lowe's, except my runner whenever my damn refund comes in the mail. read more
