Has Anyone Here On DU Had Any Customer Service Issues/Problems With Lowe's?.....

I'm having a go round with them now with respect to a Lowe's Exclusive Tool Line. The only place you can purchase this tool is at Lowe's (it's their store brand).

I need the item repaired. I didn't ask them to replace it under warranty or get a new replacement product.

I just want them to send it out for repair. I'll gladly pay the repair price - just to have this item back and working.

I don't know their rationale - but they want me to product a 'proof of purchase/invoice'.

Don't they believe in their store brands? Why wouldn't they send my product out for repair?

I just don't get it.

I'm wondering if any one here on DU had gone thru a similar experience and how you dealt with it.
Any info would be appreciated.

I Would Have Never Thought That GoodWill Would Be Affected By Tariffs.......

I stopped by my local Goodwill yesterday. I frequent Goodwill on a regular basis. I'm always looking for a deal, a good price on an item that I may need or replace or to maybe find an antique or collectable. Being retired and on a fixed income - it gives me something to do - and maybe save a buck from time to time.

When my Mother passed back in 2012 and I had to liquidate her belongings - I relied on Goodwill to take most of her clothes. She loved to shop and always dressed like a million bucks. She took good care of her clothes. Goodwill doesn't purchase the clothes - these are donated. There should be no need to raise their pricing

I donated her clothes to Goodwill. What got me hooked on Goodwill was that the clothes that I donated were in 'like new' condition. Whomever purchased any of her clothes got a real good deal. Made me feel good that someone could get the same enjoyment of shopping and looking good - like my Mother did.

Realizing that - From time to time I even purchased a shirt here or there and took advantage of a good deal from time to time.

The people that rely on Goodwill for their household goods and clothes buy from Goodwill because it is affordable to them.

I was shocked to see that Goodwill has raised their prices on clothes and they are getting farther and farther away from being good buys. They are getting greedy - because they could.

Now really there should be no reason for them to raise the prices. These clothes are donated. They don't pay a penny to purchase the clothes that hang on their racks. They just raised the prices because - they could.

These are not tariff touched items. They are just taking advantage of a price raise because they could.

I just find it sad that so many businesses get greedy because they see an opportunity to jack up prices because - everything else around them is going up.

I guess it's time for me to dump Goodwill because they - put themselves off like they are a charitable organization - but bottom line - they're just like any business and just out to make a buck.

Now That Steak & Shake Is Marketing To Tr**p & RFK Jr MAGA's With Their Tallow Campaign......

I guess I won't be one of their customers any more.

I was wondering what they were up to when I saw some of their recent advertising.

They have sold their soul to Tr**p & RFK Jr. thinking that they would capture the MAGA's as customers.

It's really funny what people will do for money.

Soldiers Will Stay in Federal Buildings During Army Parade on Trump's Birthday......

Here's a link to a description of the military parade in Washington D.C ordered by Tr**p: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/05/16/soldiers-will-stay-federal-buildings-during-army-parade-trumps-birthday.html

This is the same military that Tr**p called 'losers and suckers'. This is the same military that Tr**p disrespects. Check out this link to review statements that he has made in regards to the military:
https://nationalsecurityaction.org/trump-disrespects-the-military

Why would this same military - honor Tr**p with such a Parade?

Will this Parade come off like Tr**p has in his mind that it will?
