I would hand-write (neatly and legibly) - a *short* concise note and include one small photo - hand address to Lowe’s CEO, Marvin Ellison, at
1000 Lowe's Blvd Mooresville, NC 28117

If you do it - in a kind, concise way - you may get some good service.

PS - I agree - posting on their official Facebook page and other social media will get (should get) a quick response...... they have systems that are constantly monitoring posts and if you include the right words - they should respond.....

Also - Lowe’s has a relationship with all installers they use - Lowe’s warrants the product and service ....

Installers are not Lowes employees, but private contractors, if the mistake is theirs, its theirs to fix.

I had to do this with Empire Carpet and Tile -it works-
 
[QUOTE=TheLawnKing;1928275]This might take a little work but it will deliver results. Do a search and find out who the CEO is of Lowe's and their corporate headquarters phone number. You'll never talk to this person, but your complaint will be given to some regional vice president. And trust me, when you get an order to fix something from that high up, it'll get fixed.
Maybe this sounds like Overkill, and it is. But it's the only way I've found to get above that level of CYA management. Good luck.[/QUOTE

Called president of Empire Carpet left a message about suing them in federal court since he was in Chicago and I’m in Florida - it was a 15000 tile job - they used defective tile- I told him the complaint would be filed by weeks end since I’m attorney I can do that.... they came the next day with a brand new crew and a lot of new tile.....

Advice: don't go to a huge "big box" store for anything that includes installation by a subcontractor. As the old adage goes, these "big box" stores are "jacks of all trades, but masters of none". My father had the same thing happen at a Home Depot in Ohio back in the 1990s. They "tried" to install hardwood floors in his house and put putty in the seams because the hardwood planks were so far apart. After a few months of fighting with them and corporate, they finally ripped out the bad and replaced it with the good - with a different but efficient contractor. Advice # 2: if you want flooring, go to a flooring store where all they do is flooring and quite often the installers are employees, not subs.

Have a lawyer send Corporate headquarters a letter of intent to sue.

richs631 04-11-2021 06:40 AM

Go to Lowe’s and ask for the regional managers email and phone number. That should have them take care of it right away. In the future purchase carpet, tile ect. Through a carpet store. Lowe’s is a retail store and hire any outside contractor that can walk and talk.

dreamweaver2634 04-11-2021 06:46 AM

how was it paid for? If you used a credit care then dispute the payment and the credit card company will get involved. Also call Headquarters.

vitacr 04-11-2021 07:03 AM

Send your complaint to the Better Business bureau & put your desired remedy. They have to respond in a few days. I had luck with that method in the past. Good luck.

MLuft 04-11-2021 07:06 AM

Agree; dispute your credit card charge and they will work with you.

That will only cost you more money, time and aggravation and you still have the shoddy rug. Useless move.

Lowe,s. Contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.

For my Dad's 90th b'day my Mom and I pooled our money and put new carpet in his "mancave". It was ordered through Lowes. They ordered the wrong size and the installer came up short. They found another piece at the store but it is now seemed very obviously when you walk into the room and the seam leads to the bathroom. I know carpets often need seems but this seem is in the worst place possible. The installer agreed it looks bad, Lowes agreed it wasn't right....everyone agrees it wasn't done right but that's all they'll do...just agree and pass the buck. Both my Mom and I have called everyone possible many times over, we've both gone down to the store many times. Customer service is absolutely useless. They promise everything and deliver nothing. The carpeting cost over 1,000.00 and looks bad. My Dad has mobility issues and spends most of his time sitting in this room and it's a constant reminder that Lowe's is not standing behind their work. If anyone has any ideas how we can get them to actually fix this please share. My 86 yr old Mom is so upset about this, she feels as if they are just dragging this out to wear her down in the hopes that she'll go away and they are doing a good job. This has been going on since January. Thank you.

Contact the credit card company and dispute the charges and see how quickly they come up with a solution.

Hi B.R.K.

I have never known Lowe's not making good on a bad project. Honestly, if you see a senior manager there, they will resolve your problem.

My Mom has sent two letters so far to HQ, the second one just this past Friday. She actually talked to someone in HQ on the 2nd and was told they would handle it and call her back on the 6th with a resolution. Never happened. Everyone is polite but that's the only good thing I can say. Thank you for all this information, I will not give up.

I wish I could find a senior manager there, any manager! The first time I requested a manager at customer service, the woman chuckled and said, "yeah, good luck with that" and then paged someone to come up. I stood around forever and nobody ever came even after she paged a few more times at my request. Finally I flagged an employee down who was walking by and pleaded my case. Never saw any manager. Second time I requested a manager, all he did was keep handing me a scrap piece of paper with installation's phone number even though I kept telling him I'd already talked to them many times to no avail. As usual, took all the info and promised to call...never happened. I can't tell you how many times my poor little Mom has gone in. She has even cried and asked them would they want their Mom's to have to go through this? I find all this so disappointing and wonder how people go home and sleep well at night.
