What are the hours and when should I call?
Lowe's operates the call center for this 800-445-6937 phone number Mon-Sun 8:30am-6pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 776 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Lowe's call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Lowe's phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Lowe's staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Lowe's is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Wednesday, which averages 160% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 776 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Sunday, which is 843% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Lowe's is Friday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Lowe's staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Calling Lowe's for help was almost as easy as walking into the store and looking for someone to help. In the same way that there is always someone in blue ready to help, it was extremely simple to get to someone to answer my question.
I'm starting a landscaping project, and I'm looking at buying a large amount of fill soil, mulch, and pavers so I wanted to economize on the best way to make this purchase. I figured that I could get contractor pricing and maybe even get it all delivered at once to help streamline the delivery charges. At any rate, I need far too much to just buy it from the store and attempt to carry it home.
With that in mind, I called Lowe's to talk about some of the products I saw online and to talk about my ordering options. When I called, an automated agent picked up and asked directly, "Thanks for calling Lowes. Calls may be recorded or monitored. Now, what can I do for you today?" I replied that I wanted to talk to someone about landscaping.
The automated agent replied back, "Which would you like? Either see what’s in stock, price check an item, get delivery details or other help from that department." I wasn't quite sure what I needed since I actually needed help with all of those things so I just repeated back, "other help from that department" and it told me, "Just a minute, let me get you to someone who can help with that department."
I was on hold for maybe 10 seconds when Colleen answered the phone and asked me how she could help me. She had a bit of a drawl, but was friendly and walked me through all of my questions and the best way to put together my purchase.

Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Lowe's provides this option.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Lowe's will reply our your email.
Lowe's, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Lowe's customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
