- A customer may have to pay for certain items if they return them for any other reason than manufacturer defect.

Do I need a receipt for a refund or exchange?
For items over $125, yes. Otherwise, no receipt or proof of purchase is necessary. Lowe’s will gladly exchange a product that doesn’t work properly due to defects in material or workmanship at any time up to one year from the date of purchase.
