Lowe’s apologizes and promises investigation after ‘bizarre’ order pickup mishap – and shopper begs for their items back

A LOWE’S shopper has taken to X to share their frustration after an order mishap.

In two separate posts, the customer explained the whole incident as ‘bizarre’ once their complaint was acknowledged.

The shopper shared the details of their experience in a post to social media and began by addressing @Lowe’s directly.

“I placed a pickup order with Lowes.”

The customer then shared, “I didn’t have time to pick up the order within the first week.”

“But then, the order status changed to “pickup complete.”

Frustrated, the customer wrote, “I did NOT pick it up.”

The customer continued one of two posts by saying, “I contacted Lowe’s and customer service told me the store would contact me – I never got contacted.”

But that wasn’t the end.

The disgruntled customer started another post.

“Can someone else from the account holder just come and pick up the order in the locker box?”

The customer even offered an alternative.

“Or can the Lowe’s employee just take it?”

“The whole thing seems bizarre to me.”

It wasn’t long before the post caught the attention of Lowe’s online.

Lowe’s official X account soon replied.

The post read, “Hi – we’re sorry to hear about your experience with this.”

They followed up, “Please send us a DM with more info, so we can look into this for you.”

Lowe’s reply ended by saying, “Be sure to include the name on the order, email, phone and order number.”

After this response, there were no further replies from either party on the matter.

This encounter happened a few days ago, so it’s likely that the mishap with the order is being solved.

It was only last week that Lowe’s was forced to apologize to a shopper online after they claimed they were left waiting for over 40 minutes.

Elsewhere, grocery store Kroger also had to apologize to a shopper for ‘change in price’ after an order was placed.

  • Bronze Key: Earns 1 point per dollar spent and offers free standard shipping on eligible purchases of $35 or more.

Robert Herjavec admits he was ‘jealous’ of Shark Tank co-star Mark Cuban – but meeting billionaire made him richer

SHARK Tank star Robert Herjavec has admitted he was initially “jealous” of his co-star Mark Cuban’s extraordinary success but that his friendship with the billionaire helped him dream bigger.

In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, the Croatian-Canadian entrepreneur revealed how his co-star had a huge influence on his life and that his friendship with Cuban made him richer.

“I think I was a little bit jealous, but then I really respected him because he’s a great guy and I admired him,” Herjavec told The U.S. Sun.

Cuban and Herjavec both star on Shark Tank, where the Sharks give budding entrepreneurs the chance to secure business deals that could make them millionaires.

I have to give him full credit, I’m worth way more money after meeting Mark than I was before

Robert HerjavecShark Tank star

While acknowledging he was envious of the billionaire’s success at first, Herjavec said his jealousy of Cuban helped him realize he had lost his purpose in life.

He got to know Cuban while filming the show and grew to respect him.

“Mark is larger than life in all things, in airplanes, and his demeaner…everything.

“I think it was just such a different character for me, and I didn’t know how to handle it at first.”

Since meeting Cuban, Herjavec created a YouTube series called Things I learned from a Billionaire to Become a Billionaire where he shares lessons learned from Cuban 

Herjavec said he originally started his company with a few simple goals including earning enough money to pay off his mortgage and buy a Corvette if he could afford to.

But the investor now admits his relationship with Cuban actually helped him dream bigger.

“I said to myself, if Mark can then why can’t I?”

Herjavec surpassed his initial goal, making hundreds of millions of dollars. 

He first became successful after selling his internet security software to AT&T Canada in 2000 for $30 million.

After selling his company to AT&T, he founded The Herjavec Group, which became one of Canada’s largest information technology security providers.

The company was rebranded to become Cyderes.

Herjavec stepped down as CEO of the company in September this year, saying he would like to spend more time with his family.

‘RETAIL RENAISSANCE’

During the exclusive on-camera interview in New York, the shark covered a wide range of topics, including politics, the economy, and the retail sector.

Herjavec insisted the US economy was experiencing a “retail renaissance” despite mass closures and layoffs across the industry, forecasting a major boom over the next few years.

The investor said retail companies could be successful if they sold high-quality products and offered shoppers a destination experience.

Herjavec also threw his weight behind President-elect Donald Trump after his election victory, saying the former President would be the best person to manage the economy.

He also revealed he still “loves” Dancing with the Stars and watches the show with his wife Kym Johnson after they met as co-stars in 2015, saying he believes people often fall in love on the show because they get “very close” during filming.

RAGS TO RICHES

Herjavec has a remarkable life story.

His family left Croatia when he was just eight years old, arriving in Canada with just one suitcase after his father fled from jail in a communist country.

In what is a classic “rags to riches” story, Herjavec started off as a newspaper delivery boy and waiter until rising up the ranks with various business ventures and investments. 

“We came from a communist country, and I didn’t realize we were poor until we came to Canada originally, and life was just really, really hard,” Herjavec exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

“And I think what made me stand out was that I just refused to live like that anymore. So if I had to work harder, no problem.”

Herjavec said he was motivated after he watched his parents work hard and sacrifice so much, often feeling an “incredible pressure” to “make something” of himself.

Plus, Herjavec shared his biggest show secrets viewers don’t know.

The U.S. Sun also reported on a founder who was rejected by Shark Tank but later proved the billionaires wrong.

Kroger promises to investigate after shopper waits in ‘crazy’ checkout line that’s as ‘far back to the bathrooms’

KROGER has promised to investigate an incident after a “crazy” checkout line was captured in-store.

One customer took to X to share his frustrations, slamming the chain for having a “pretty crazy” line.

He said: “I’m a pretty patient person, but one checkout lane open out of fifteen at 9:30 on a Sunday morning is pretty crazy.

“Line is back to the bathrooms. N. Decatur road location in Decatur Georgia.”

Footage shows every other lane completely empty.

But the X user complained of how everyone was made to queue in the same one.

Kroger responded to the unbelievable footage, apologising for the experience.

The retailer said: “This is not the experience we want for our customers to have.

“Kindly DM us and provide the exact store address with zip code so we can escalate this. Thank you.”

Kroger shoppers have been up in arms over the checkout service.

Customers are calling for employees to come back for assistance despite policies at select Kroger stores favoring self-checkout over traditional cashiered lanes.

Shoppers are being forced to brave the self-service lanes, and they’re not happy about it.

Kroger also caused uproar among shoppers for alleged overcharges.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the only apology the supermarket has had to issue in recent months.

Kroger has apologized to a customer who became offended due to receipt-checking measures at the retailer.

Customers were not happy when they spotted employees checking receipts and carts with wheels that lock when pushed outside the store.

Elsewhere, Kroger customers have complained about the store’s digital coupons.

One shopper said he wouldn’t go back due to price hike fears.

Kroger's refund policy

Kroger shoppers can return items with or without a receipt.

All Kroger Co. Family of Stores can accept returns of items purchased at any location within 30 days of purchase.

Returns with receipts:

  • Customers can use digital or paper receipts to get a refund
  • The refund will be returned in the same payment method the purchase was made. Either going back on a card or handed back in cash

Returns without receipts:

  • Customers wanting to return more than $10 will receive a store merchandise gift card for the value
