lowe's wrong chain saw in box

[5030]

I haven't had to try them. The last ratchet I exchanged was at a Sears franchise... he gave me a new one without a problem. 3 days later I had to change my alternator on the road and used it for the first time. Somebody stopped to offer me a boost and I checked carefully after getting the truck started to make sure there were no tools left under the hood; yet that was the last time I ever saw that ratchet. It must have fallen into someplace I couldn't see, then worked it's way out as I was going down the road.

They aren't guaranteed against loss.

You would not believe the amount of tools I've found on the roadside. I've found everything from sockets to box end wrenches to ratchets on the berm. All different brands. No air tools yet but fingers crossed on that score.

A lot of places have started asking for your driver license number when selling you certain items. This was brought on by some people who walk amongst us making a high figure yearly income by scamming retailers. Buy an item, take it out of the store and replace the item in the box with a yard sale find, take the item and sales receipt back to the store and get money back. Sell new unused item to someone else. Stores had to have a way to monitor people buying such items and the high frequency of returns by them. So they are now tracking them by their drivers license number.

Yes, it says one thing, but when you take it into the store, they will give you a hard time..... this may solely be Lowes policy. I have not tried to take anything into Ace Hdw. , they may be a pleasure to deal with.

When there were Sears stores, never had a problem exchanging tools, including the ratchets.

Sears no questions asked return policy is in my opinion what put them out of business. The Lands End clothing line also helped. People would go to Sears at Schools end, purchase clothing items for themselves and children. Go to the beach, wear the clothing and then return the items to Sears for a full refund.

had the same issues with Walmart years ago with mower returns.. Customer would purchase a new riding mower in March and then return it in October claiming that they didn't like it.

Saw someone returning a big pool at Costco last October. I know they used it all summer and returned it when it cooled off.

O/T but in the same vein...I have a friend that has a prescription for pain medicine that is a controlled substance...he said it has gotten so bad that he has to count the pills right there on the counter of the pharmacy...
And personally...the USPS has gotten so bad these days I wouldn't trust them either...!

Gee…. How much time do you spend walking along the side of the road? Does your vehicle break down that often?

We've done that a couple of times with my wifes pain meds when she had cancer.. She would end up 1-2 days short and they would give her (me) a hard time trying to get them refilled. Switched pharmacies and the problem went away..

Just had this topic in another thread. Lots of junk returned.

I walk my dog every day a couple miles, you'd be amazed what I find on the berms. I walk the railroad right of way too, where my pup wants to walk, we walk.
