I'm giving this a 3 because the employee who helped us in store was incredibly nice. Would give him…read morea 5 but I'm beyond annoyed with the delivery issues. We were supposed to have appliances delivered today and were told they would call ahead to let us know they'd be here shortly. They were delivering 3 appliances for my house and 1 for my parents (they live up the street) and we gave them my phone number to call ahead. I double checked that was the number they would be calling before leaving the service counter after purchase. Well wouldn't you know today they supposedly made 3 attempts to deliver with no one home (I was one block up the street at my parents and able to return in under a minute as needed.) They called the wrong number (my dad's) and when he called back after missing their ONE call, they never answered and he couldn't leave a VM. Now delivery is going to have to be Saturday interrupting plans we've had all summer if we want them this week (we needed them ASAP.)

I have been trying for three days now to help a friend with a return of a washing machine…read more I am deeply disappointed with the inflexibility of the return policy and the brush-off that we received from customer service, both in person and online. She purchased a washing machine that does not serve her; she is almost 80 years old and has some physical challenges. The machine she purchased is one that she cannot use comfortably. All that we have been asking for is some consideration in returning for a different model. I have been told by Lowe's that my only option is to talk to Samsung, who tells me that my only option is to talk to Lowe's. $400 should not make a difference to either company. It hurts to know that Lowe's, who I have used for years for my contracting business, does not care for anyone over the age of maybe 30 or with physical challenges. The lack of consideration has been frankly appalling and does not reflect any empathy or care for individuals in situations such as this. Looking at market values today, Lowe's is at $268 billion and Samsung at $266 billion. The removal and replacement of a washer for someone unable to use it will not move the financial needle on those numbers, but perhaps caring for your customers would.

8/12/25 2:30 p.m…read more We have been here several times and plan to continue to go back. The overall selection is pretty phenomenal, and the store (plus the outdoor side) is quite large. Inventory seems to always be pretty well stocked. The layout can be a little confusing at times, especially if you're trying to find something that you saw on their website. Yes, the aisles are labeled, but they can be a bit off, which adds to the confusion. The store is kept clean and organized; nothing is scattered around or lying in the aisles. The employee interactions that we have had have been somewhat mediocre. The first time we had to ask a question about something, the employee that we interacted with was very pleasant and greeted us with a smile. She walked around to make sure that we found what we were looking for and answered all of the questions that we had. She was very patient with us. The second time that we had to ask an employee a question, he seemed very annoyed that we were even there, let alone asking him a question. He gave us a very simple answer and then walked away without even clarifying what he had just told us or making sure that we found what we were looking for. It seems pretty hit or miss, which is kind of expected at such a large place.

There is plenty of parking in its private lot, and its location is less than a mile from Highway 30 and the 35/30 junction in Ames.

Gina tipped us off about a product and then walked us through the many options, while Myles was so kind as we thought through key needs. This store really works, and will be a prime option moving forward!

An employee helped me to the car with some heavy stuff. In loading my purchases into the trunk, she ripped out the wires to the backup camera. I said immediately to her, "Hey, you just broke my backup camera." She said a quick, "Sorry" and trotted back to the store at closing time. I called in to the management immediately upon getting home. The video apparently told the managers which employee it was. I had to return twice to have two separate managers look at it. I was told that I had to get two estimates for repair--a bit of a hassle, but I did it. Both estimates were hundreds of dollars. The managers offered me a $50 gift certificate. I turned it down. I am shocked that this company has such poor customer service. I will probably have to file in small claims court.

I was just going to come here for some poofs for the shower, because at $1.25, it's a good deal. I…read morealso needed a 3 in 1 shower gel that I was going to go to Walmart for. But, what the hell? It's far easier to get to in this store, if they have it, and this masker wants to lower my risks, so checked into these, I did. I got a couple different brands/scents, as I have some issues with scents I can't breath around. I tried the one, WhiteRain, it didn't lather at all. Then I mixed it in a 3-1 water to gel in my dispenser and got much better lather. My hair feels soft. Why didn't I get the women's brand? I have yet to find one. And if there is one out there, the chances are that it is twice the price. Next, I got some comet spray for the tub. It worked ok. All in all, I was thrilled to get the shopping done quickly and without undue exposure to potential covid/polio/mpv. Friendly staff. Good prices.
