Lowe’s Policies
Lowe’s has updated several procedures to the RTM and Markdown policies. It is
important that you communicate these policies to your stores. These policies are as follows:
 RTM / Markdown Policy- When a Lowe’s Associate cuts a Custom Size Now blind or
shade to an incorrect size, they should NOT automatically charge this to the defective
allowance. The correct procedure is to mark the packaging with a “Pre-cut Blind Label” and
mark the width that it has been cut to and the retail price should be reduced.
