I'm a disabled cancer survivor n he treated me like crap because he didn't like my speech about selling used mowers as new. read more

Wouldn't advise coming unless you are very familiar with what you need and don't need anything that's locked up. Store has plenty of inventory but seemingly no one around to assist you. Ran into several other customers who voiced the same issue. Finally found a large group of employees hanging out at the back of the store and when I asked one for assistance he acted like he had never heard of a stud finder. Later on while trying to get something out of a locked cage I had to go to the front of the store, find the singular employee around and ask her to call someone over to the aisle I was on. Fifteen minutes later and no one had come. Kind of ridiculous. read more

Was there to buy three rooms of carpet. Three workers walked by the help desk never acknowledged we were there. One worker finally came by, we told him what we needed he said I will be right back. We waited 30 minutes never saw him again. Before leaving we asked to speak with the manager. We explained what happened and the big sale they lost. He could have cared less. Never said he was sorry, never offered to help us. They just don't give a damn at the Goldsboro store. The store in Kinston and Smithfield are great. They hire dumbass at the Goldsboro location. Just an added note the B that works at the return counter is a total B. I think her name was Paula. read more

Purchased a washer and Dryer; Dryer was delivered severely damaged and refused. No one ever contacted me to arrange a replacement. Tried calling my local store and after spending an hour to get through to someone, they picked up the phone and set it down beside them. Called Customer Care several times with no luck. After 3 days I ordered another dryer and paid for it - Upon delivery the replacement dryer was damaged too. I do not recommend purchasing anything at Lowes. After 25 years of doing business with Lowes, I've lowered my credit line and intend on closing my account entirely. Very disappointed in the quality of service and the major inconvenience. read more

I was in town visiting my mother in law and she needed a few small jobs done at her house so I ran up to Lowes to get a few items. There was one register open and it had 9 people in line. So i reluctantly went to self checkout. I rang up my own stuff couldn't figure out how to get the veteran discount. I got Marilyn to come over and I asked her. She said I couldn't get it without a Lowe's card. This is simply not true unless it is a NC thing. I am in the system and have gotten the discount in Richmond And Roanoke Va and in Lewisburg WV without a Lowe's card. Besides that the store was fine but Lowe's needs to properly train the register people at this store especially being an air force town. I am sure a lot of vets come through read more

Absolutely the worst customer service ever.... either in person or when you call them. They don't know anything and are definitely not going to try to find out anything for you. read more

Their installation service for appliances is a joke. We bought a new dishwasher on June 28th. They delivered it two days later, on the 30th. Then we had to wait THREE WEEKS for the installer to do an "assessment" (that we had to pay $35 for). Dude was here less than 10 minutes. Lowe's was supposed to call to set up the actual install, but after more than 48 hours, I hadn't heard a peep. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a dishwasher with one usable rack. So I go up to Lowe's. Even though I had expressed my frustration with the "assessment" guy and he promised he would flag our install for priority, Lowe's hadn't received anything. So the Lowe's employee starts entering stuff in the computer, then retrieves the paperwork. I start looking at it and they wanted an additional $200+ for the install! And I had to pay it before they would even schedule anything! At this point, I was done. Told the employee helping me that I wanted the haul off fee refunded and I'd get my own installer. The employee did me one better. She refunded the haul off fee ($40) and the "assessment" fee ($35). It's really disappointing that 1) Lowe's is charging a fee just to have someone come look at your install like you don't have sense enough to measure your space before spending money on an appliance, and 2) that they've locked themselves into one installer who isn't available in a timely fashion. The last time I purchased an appliance from Lowe's, the install was a flat fee of $99 and the installer came the day after I purchased the appliance. The fact that Lowe's is now charging more than $200 is ridiculous. I won't be using their installation services again. read more

I tried to return some laminate flooring which was a stock item. Lowes has a policy that they won't take anything back after 90 days this policy os only posted at the return desk. I was 3 days past the 90 days and they refused to take it back. A manager named Carl said he couldn't override. Evidently Lowes corporate does not give managers any discretion. Beware of buying from lowes read more

Once again, this Lowe's has poor customer service. Due to social distancing, customers are asked to wait in line at least 6 feet apart. That puts the customer, waiting to be checked out, standing equal distance away from two registers. One register has a customer, so you would think the other register would be the go to...nope. The employee working that register never looked up from his phone. He was too busy texting and scrolling. After about 2 or 3 minutes, the lady from self checkout came up to me and said she would check me out. Even she was mad at the texting employee. Please shut this store down. read more

(S)Lowes review Lifelong resident of Wayne County, I travel to many other areas in as well out of state and (S)Lowes in Goldsboro,NC is terrible. Suppose there just isnt a very good pool of employees to choose from in Wayne County.Been this way through many manager changes for decades now and the downhill slide continues to this day. It has nothing to do with the Wilson, NC, Kinston, Nc or Smithfield, NC stores or even the coastal Lowes stores. This is JUST (S)Lowes in Goldsboro they stink more than any other (S)Lowes I have visited ANYWHERE. Inventory is always lacking compared to neighboring (S)Lowes stores, customer service skills are non existent. There is a reason why this particular (S)Lowes store customer approval rating remains in the 70s% rather than 90s%. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AT THIS STORE.Not worth the hassle to visit this store anymore as management doesnt care and real customers who are contractors local go to Goldsboro Builders, BDC, Baker Pipe, True Value, Crawford Furniture and Appliance etc to receive assistance and helpful service. This review of Goldsboro,NC (S)Lowes has absolutely NOTHING to do with COVID as this has been ongoing for decades. Money speaks- shop and support your local stores, folks. The locals store owners appreciate it, but (S)Lowes certainly does not. read more

Went to the Goldsboro n.c store to buy a mower I saw online. Didn't see one on display so went in for assistance. Young lady at customer service desk paged someone in seasonal dept. Never saw any one, couldn't get the young ladies attention so gave up and left. Tried to order online but delivery was scheduled at the start but once I paid showed "pickup " available date. Called and canceled the order. read more

I have to say that Kristy (not sure if that's the correct spelling) in Delivery went 100% above and beyond to make my experience positive. She made the difference between me never again shopping at any Lowe's and instead kept me as a grateful customer. Her response to our issue made up for the unacceptable "Customer Service" my husband experienced in the Kinston, NC Lowe's. Going forward, even though I live 3 miles from the Kinston store and 31 from the Goldsboro one, guess which store I will take my hard earned money to? Thank you again Kristy and also to Kenneth and Rodney the guys who came and fixed the problem! read more

The customer service at this Lowes was decent however the cashier in the garden center - Jessica I believe was her name - Very rude and has the personality of a piece of paper - she should really not be working with people and tried to argue with me over a price -ridiculous- I have never seen such poor customer service read more

I went into Lowes in Goldsboro, NC, to buy some lawn care needs, they were advertising one product and you will be getting another product free. I stopped one associate and he was in a hurry, no help. Secondly, I went to customer service to get someone page to come to lawn, finally an associate comes up and state that they were out of the free item. I explained to him to take the sign down until the free item is in, otherwise you are false advertising, take it down until you get the item. Then a manager shows up and hears me explain my perspective, again and again but nothing. They both looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I used the example that if a person came into this store to buy this based on pictures, i.e. like an elderly person that could not read and then they proceed to the register to check out that it would be very embarrassing to them, just take the sign down or have an alternate product as a replacement. I called corporate customer service with same comments and all I wanted for a manager to call me and have a one on one dialogue about this. I will drive now to a Home Depot which is 1.5 hours away just to buy similar products. I will recommend to my friends, church members, co-workers, etc.to shop elsewhere. read more

I do not know what it will be like only having Lowe's and no Home Depot for competition. Everywhere I have lived the competition was available. I will have to see if prices are as low as the prices where I used to live in Wake Forest. This store does have everything that I need out of a Lowes, so I have to give it at least a 4 star rating until I see if prices are different at other stores. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Hardware Stores Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

They don't mark down diseased plants, buyers beware. I asked the garden section manager and she was like no. So a $16 dollar plant that was diseased was what you are getting. It sounded like it would of been to much work to markdown the price, but instead the plant will just sit and die. They'd rather make no money than do their job. read more

Easily one of the worst Lowe's I've been to. It's really sad that the care and attention to detail this place used to have has vanished. I'm not sure if it's a lack of care from employees or lax management, but any and everything can and will go wrong here. As always, there are a few good apples in the bunch, but sadly not enough to make me want to return anytime soon by no means. read more

I've lived in the Goldsboro area for 10 years and watched this Lowe's go down hill. Today was by far the worst experience at this store that I've ever had. The toxic company culture in this store is evident. Today, I listened a Lowe's employee cut a customer off who was asking for help and reply, "I just do returns". We asked for help with the location of a product and not only could the Lowe's rep not help, she never came back with someone who could, but I heard her dispatch someone to an aisle next to me. I moved aisles and waited for 5 mins before I gave up. At Check out the Lowe's rep didn't great us, didn't talk at all and didn't look at us. She rang up our items and told us the total. That was it. Saddest part, it wouldn't help talking to the management, *%#! Rolls down hill and you can tell whoever is running the place doesn't teach nor require much. read more

If I could give this negative stars I would. This is the worst Lowe's I have ever been to. Kathryn working self check out was the rudest person in the entire store. She constantly walked away from us helping everyone else. Do not go here. I will never be back! read more

I decided I was going to do a curbside order at Lowe's today which was a big mistake. After waiting 30 minutes on hold I had to go in where I had to wait again for my order just for the employees to be rude and not helpful. Never again. read more

Bought a new lawn mower today...not because we wanted to but because we had a to...the short little man in the lawnmower department was lazy and had no desire or intention to help us. We didn't want the floor model but he was not going to go to the back and get another mower. We waited in line at customer service and they were just a lazy and the lawnmower man. Cutting in line, not saying excuse me, not going around the customers. Paying attention to each other rather than the growing line in front of them. Then the mower books are soaked and unusable, so very disappointed...we need a Lowes that loves its customers or a Home Depot in Goldsboro NC. read more

Dennis I. About 4 years ago I received a Lowes gift card for Christmas. I used it to buy a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with an offset handle so you don't scrape your knuckles. Well it quit working. I can take things apart but the ratchet does not work so I can put them back together. I took it back to Lowes last year and was told they did not carry that model at that time, and could not give me a replacement. He even told me he thought it had been discontinued. I went to Lowes tonight and they told me they could not help me I would have to contact Kobalt myself. I went home and got on Kobalt's web site. I found it has not been discontinued. I went back to Lowes with the Item number and Model number. They had someone check and it is still a good number but they do not stock it. I ask "could you order one in and call me when it comes in so I can exchange it?' Their answer No you still have to go to Kobalt yourself. When I asked about the warranty I was informed "The warranty is with Kobalt not Lowe's". What good are you when your company is the only one that handles a product with a lifetime warranty if you are not going to honor the warranty read more

This Lowe's has the worst customer service. They always seem like your bothering them if you ask any questions and they take forever when you can actually find someone to assist you. read more

Took forever and very rude and ask the worker a question and they won't even turn around I am very displeased with the rudeness of the employees at this location and probably will not shop here again read more

This place consistently deserves a 1 star review, but I don't go out of my way to leave reviews anywhere unless I've experienced something exceptionally bad or good. Yesterday, I came for liquid Sevin and epoxy (in a furniture application type amount). I left empty-handed. Not sure why Lowe's wouldn't carry 2 part epoxy in an 8oz and up size, but they don't, so congrats on furthering the demise of brick and mortar as I just ordered it online. I picked up the Sevin, but there were about THIRTY people in line and ONE self check-out operating, so I put it down and left. In an effort to divulge all information, there was a fire truck at the garden center when I left, but there wasn't a frenzy of activity. I'm also doubtful that every associate capable of running a register was a first responder; this is easily corroborated by the fact that they NEVER have registers open. You have to work harder than that to get my money. read more

Yes, it's Lowes...on the marquis. Poorly stocked. Poorly trained staff based on numerous bad or wrong recommendations. I require an electric scooter to get around in the store and most of this store's scooters either have loose steering, faulty seat safety switches or just shut off while riding. If Home Depot was in town, I'd be there. Often go to Garner just to get what I need and good selection. read more

I would give it half a star if possible. This place always has just half of the stuff I need for my project. For example I was doing some duct work moving a vent and they had the bend or turn piece I needed in another size duct but nothing I could put together that would work for me. This place is just aggravating to shop at. The customer service is worse then a store ran by monkeys throwing poop at you, it is terrible. The workers don't know sh#t about anything except collecting a pay check for holding down the cement floors in the store. I have asked them where stuff is located in the store and they don't know. They don't try to help you either, it's hard to find anyone because it seems like they are hiding. Please stop hiring people that don't care about the customers. The last thing that pissed me off that made yelp them was when I went to buy a storage bin. I was at another store and looked online to compare price to Lowe's and they had the bin on sale so I left that store and ran thinking it was going to be a quick buy in and out. Nope 35 minutes of being brushed off to finally be told they don't know where the bins on sale are in the store. They had the same bin but in another color on the shelf and they would not honor the sale price. The assistant manager Melisa didn't even leave her office to come speak to me face to face. The register lady had to keep calling her on the phone. It's not my problem that they don't know where their products are, their website said they had some available. The assistant manager Melissa said she was aware of the missing product because someone tried to buy them earlier in the week but didn't try to fix the problem. I had my family waiting in the car because this was supposed to be a quick buy but it needed up being another sh#t experience at your useless neighborhood Lowe's. I really dislike this place! Do not waste your time and try to order the stuff you need on amazon if you can. read more

This place only got 2 stars because it is lowes and it does have all the normal lowes stuff. The good ends there. Absolute worst customer service I have experienced in a place like this. Its like none of the people working there have any clue as to how to do their job. I got a grill and had them put it togehter and 2 weeks later it still wasn't put together and then they "lost" the grill they put together. Ended up giving me one from the front of the store that had been sitting outside rusting. I just wanted to be done with this store. I will still go there to buy small things but never again do I spend any large amounts of money. I'll drive to greenville before I go back to this lowes for anything major. read more

I went to Lowe's to make a return and when I went into the building there was a sign in front of the customer service that said pick ups so it was very unclear where I was supposed to go to make a return. I stood in one line for about 10 minutes waiting to be helped and when it was my turn she informed me that she didn't know how to do an exchange and that I was in the wrong line. Mind you, I was still at the customer service counter. So I went around to the other side of the counter, same desk, and waited another 10 minutes before it was my turn. The customer service rep, Rhonda, who had a very salty attitude, told me that my refund was out of date. It was only out of date by a few day. The product had never been used or taken out of the package and she said it was the rules. In the middle of our transaction she just walked away - I was simply questioning the policy. Eventually another lady came in completed my transaction. It just felt like pure chaos at the customer service counter and there wasn't even that many people there. Rhonda got very defensive when I was trying to get her identification so that I could make a complaint. When I asked her what her last name or her employee number she was not cooperative. I wish we had a Home Depot in town to make Lowe's employees a little more appreciative of their customers. I will be very careful to try to plan my purchases so that I don't have to go to Lowe's. At the very least, I will go to Wilson. read more

I just moved here from Alabama and I expected the household name Lowe's to have great customer service. I was wrong! I do a lot of wood work and crafting with my daughters so I spend a lot of time and money looking for the right products for the job. Where is the Home Depot? I have never had a bad experience there. I went in looking for a particular time after waking around for about 15 minutes not once was I approached by their people to offer their help. I finally asked 2 associates that were just standing there chatting if they knew where I could find the particular item. The gentleman points in a general direction and said "it's over there" looking at his finger and where I was standing in the store it could have been in any aisle from paint to the garden center. The associate was rude when I asked which isle I could find the item and belted out a number just to get rid of me. Thanks Lowe's and your impeccable customer service. I will be looking elsewhere to get my household items... Missing my Home Depot! read more
