Shipping Problem

Would Not Recommend

Ordered these bulbs and package was damaged in transit. Ordered again and damaged again so that I never received and cancelled rather than order 3rd time. This package size (15 bulbs) used to be in the store but no longer, only packages of 2 at twice the larger package's unit price. You might consider ordering if you are close to origination point in northeastern PA. FedEx is a reputable company so I think that these 96" long linear bulbs are just too fragile to ship now.

Be careful

Would Recommend

Shipped in too big of a container, one bulb was broken, but the good news is , I think the other 95 bulbs are ok. I just need to get credit back for the one broken bulb.

Lowe’s Should Be More Considerate of Customers

Would Not Recommend

The 2 boxes of 8-foot fluorescent bulbs arrived smashed to smithereens. I know that is the shipping company’s fault-not Lowe’s. However, Lowe’s should have had the shipping company pick up the bulbs from my home. Instead, I had to load the boxes of 8-foot bulbs in my SUV where they touched the dash to the tailgate and completely blocked my view in my passenger mirror and windows. Then, when I arrived at Lowe’s, I had to carry that long, heavy box across the parking lot and into the store. Than...
