Lowe’s Return / Refund / Exchange Policies

Synopsis

Lowe’s claims their return policy to be “hassle free”, but Major Appliance returns can be an issue due to the very short return window and the limitation to “manufacturer defect”. Customers encountering difficulty should mention the hassle free nature of the return policy.

Returns are allowed at any store; try different locations until you are successful when difficulty is encountered.
