    I just recently obtained a quote from one of Home Depot's preferred contractors. WOW the quote came in at over $22 000 dollars + HST not incl. vanity, and the fixtures were quoted at a base rate when it's all said and done it would be at over $30 000 dollars. That is 700-750 dollars a sq ft. The average cost is 250 - 300 dollars a sq ft on the low end. I have no idea how they are quoting jobs. I understand the quality maybe better. I know people that have built high end custom homes for 400-450 dollars a sq ft. Our ensuite is tiny it is only 40 sq ft. We renovated our kitchen last year which is 150 sq ft for less than $25 000 dollars, how does a tiny washroom cost more than a kitchen. Good thing I'm in the construction industry and quote civil work and I know what things cost.

    My question is, "How many poor people have they taken advantage of?" For better quality I would be willing to pay 400-450 a sq ft which is well over the average but not close to triple the average. I will add one thing a small 2 x 2 window and some marble was incl. in their quote that is why we would of paid 450-500 dollars a sq ft which is still high, like I said before average cost to build high end is 450-500 dollars a sq ft. For 700 dollars a sq ft you could get solid gold fixtures tiles etc. and have everything imported from Italy. I knew going to Home Depot I would be overpaying which I was prepared to do so but I refuse to pay triple the norm. I'm hoping that people who are unaware of what things cost educate yourself before you spend your money foolishly.

    I had a contractor use Behr paint on my house and now the paint is coming off. Behr won't do anything since I only have a quart left and Home Depot says it is not their problem. You sell the product you should stand behind it. Both companies were terrible to deal with. Behr just out and out lies and my Attorney General suggested I take them to court. Home Depot is too chicken to stand up to them since it is their number one selling paint. Better to go to mom and pop stores if you want to be treated like a human being.

    It takes several days from when you order to when they finally ship out your order. THEN, it is sent via PONY EXPRESS. My package took THREE DAYS to get through the Pittston, PA terminal and is still on its way to me. They give you a reasonable estimate for delivery - until after your order is placed. Then, the NEW delivery date is a week or two later.

    January 2017, I sent my handyman to buy from Home Depot Hemet, CA around 8 times. I bought about $3,500. Every time the handyman call me from there and I give them the credit card number and my cell phone number and the email address, they were very careless when they were receiving the data from me. Every time I call them, they couldn't recognize my phone number or my email address. Even my name they wrote wrong in their records. I received only 1/8 receipts on my email. When I called them to send one lost receipt from my handyman, they were very careless. The employees wanted to close the phone line rapidly and they were saying "yes sir we sent to your email." But I haven't received anything.

    I called again and I talked to the manager asking him to give me a hand finding the lost receipt but he yelled at me on phone "Sir, we sent the email to you and if you have fax we will send it for you". I gave him my work fax and I have never received anything from them [Home Depot of HEMET]. However, I chat with a customer service representative on Home Depot main website. She was extremely helpful to me and she entered their website and sent me a copy of this receipt. She also told me that they were sending to wrong email address Although I begged them to review the address with them but they did not hear from me. I am sorry to meet such careless employees and managers in this era. It has been well known that customer care is a priority. Thanks.

    I order kitchen appliances in Black Friday and also order stucco bone washer and dryer for my tenants. I scheduled delivery for January 7th. Of course I don't get stuff at that day. Nobody bother call me let me know what's going on. I have to fight with Home Depot and GE to find out what's going. They rescheduled delivery for January 20th. Thanks God. Get those 3 items. I should receive washer and dryer January 21st. Of course nobody show up. Nobody call me what's going on. I called the customer service too. Lady told me left side of the dryer is damaged and they cannot deliver this stuff. Nobody from GE call me and let me know what's going on.

    She transferred me to Home Depot store manager in Paterson New Jersey and I want reorder stuff with discount. She told me I have to get stuff and we going to discuss discount. I'm concerned how she's going to give me discount after I get those stuff. I asked Lady how she's going to give me discount and I don't get answer.

    We have been a customer since Home Depot opened. Most of our rental and private home repair upgrades we buy from them. It is very poor service when it comes to custom order anything. Earlier when sunroom was build windows were order. Came in three week late. When it did comes one was broken and for skylight kit did not come so our construction was delayed for months. Recently we ordered some wood flooring for bedrooms. Date was given to us was Jan. 18th. When date came around no one notified us. We kept calling them. Finally we were told that it will not come until Feb 10th. So now we have carpet pulled, furniture everywhere and no bedroom available to sleep. So we canceled that order. I called corporate office. Instead of offering to figure out solution I was asked "do you want to cancel the order" which we ended up doing anyway.

    We ordered another floor with Manager involved and they checked for stock and guaranteed to be there on Jan. 25th, we got update yesterday that it will not arrive till Feb. 7th. Again no one followed up. No one called. I called corp again, was transferred back to the store and was told that "we don't know why they did not ship right away." When I called they insisted I order then and there. I gave cc info over the phone and order even though we were traveling to make sure we get product in due time. Again same runaround. No answer. So my advice to anyone dealing with HOME DEPOT they are just a middleman. They do not carry flooring in stock. Buy either what's in stock. If special order do not remove carpet or any flooring windows until you actually get confirmation email stating that product has arrived.

    So here we are after two weeks of carpet pulled still no flooring to show. I just want to add an advice to the store that have your staff check with vendor prior to offering date. And for any reason if your vendor miss the deadline, have your vendor provide solution or you as middle person provide solution instead of just offering to cancel the order. Even after placing another order and promising the arrival date we are still out in Feb. What was the gain of canceling first order and placing new one. Home Depot needs to revisit their vendor service and offer better solutions to their customer.

    Multiple letters from 12/12/2016 have been written to Corporate and specifically to Terrell ** in Corporate. I again went into the store this morning, and again these employee's have not been recognized. I'd like to mention Ryan whom works the 6:00 shift when I go in helps me cutting wood, loading my car. He has been a great help, please recognize his excellent customer skills. Either Terrell in Corporate is not responding to my requests or Marquis the Manager of Home Depot in Covington, WA. is not recognizing his employee's. This could possibly pertain to my fall on 9/2/2016, where no incident report was filed and my Husband went in very upset.

    Hey I am not complaining about anything. I wasn't sure about this. I never got a card from them and for Home Depot, I wasn't sure where to let you know that. Last time I talked to you was when you showed me a page for the customers to come quickly. You won't me to know that what I thought. I wrote a review and a lot of good stuff that truly I appreciate it. I got held up in my phone. They wouldn't let me out and I was forced to factory reset. That's why I am using this. I have sent yall a message about working with y'all. But Storm got me a little. Leaks in the roof. I didn't know anything about Citibank, and Home Depot, so if they call or y'all call me then I will understand more.

    I got a letter one day, then next day got one Home Depot, but I thought I was approved. Home Depot Brookhaven Mississippi 39601 or 39602 thanks. I appreciate your help. They ask username and password but like I said I really was held up in my phone and so worried about the people who need me. Customers are people who I call supporters, thanks.

    I bought my dad a table saw for Christmas, I went in to return it for a different brand. The guy at the counter told me it would be better to use a store credit instead of returning it to my card so I believed him and did so. My dad decided he no longer needed the table saw. Went to go return it but can't get a refund because it was purchased with store credit.

    I find it extremely unethical of that guy to make such a suggesting. I have been cheated out of $380 because I decided to take the word of the Home Depot employee, and stuck with store credit to a place I never step foot in. I have/had receipts for all the transactions. I was not aware of the policy that things could not be returned from store credit. I am outraged at this again, lack of ethics. Pardon my french but ** you Home Depot.

    About two years ago we did a complete kitchen renovation and more and ended up buying all new custom cabinets, new appliances etc and spend a lot of money at Home Depot. It was suggested that we open a Home Depot credit card with no interest payment for two years which sounded like a good deal and I signed up. I got completely screwed on this deal as it wasn't made clear to me that I had to pay out the balance completely within the 24 months and got stuck with an almost $9,000.00 interest charge that nobody at Home Depot has any interest in discussing with me. Not to mention that the interest charged is at 25.99%. Even a detailed letter to the CEO describing my surprise and disagreement with their lending practices only resulted in somebody from Home Depot leaving me a voice mail giving their general 800 # and saying that I could call back that # if I wanted to follow up further.

    When I did that the next day I got the run around from one person to another - all saying they had no records of who called me the previous day, nor were they able to see my letter and there was nothing they could do other than transferring me to another department. It was like every time I got transferred I was put on hold and the person probably took his/her break to come back to tell ‘em there was nothing they could do for me. The last person I spoke to could only offer me to talk to the first department that I spoke to at the beginning of the call - and that couldn't help me. On one occasion it was brought to my attention that it was my own mistake since I should have checked my paper statements that would have outlined that I was at risk for having to pay the "deferred interest".

    I am sorry but I pay my bills online and never was there an alert or big red banner showing up when making a payment saying that “If you don't pays this amount by this date you are subject to paying deferred interest in the amount of almost $9,000.00 by date,” so and so. Nobody has been able to explain to me why that is not clearly disclosed online. This is a very well thought out trap to get people like myself stuck in a very difficult situation and with no way of getting out of it. And the way they have it set up internally when you call them is so that eventually they expect most people to simply give up.

    Nobody you speak to will give out anything other than their first name. This is completely unfair and predatory lending practices. I hope anyone reading this post will refrain from applying from credit from Home Depot and also from doing business with them. I am sure they have their behinds covered in the fine prints but the failure to clearly disclose the terms/penalties of the loan has to be borderline fraudulent.

    We purchased a hot water heater from Home Depot and were told that delivery and installation would happen the next day between a certain time. This did not happen and the company that HD contracted to do this, called Delta Install or something based in Phoenix AZ, was the worst company to work with. They did not turn up as scheduled that day. We had to call them and find out if they would deliver at all and were told 'sorry' it was going to be done first thing the next day. We waited for 3 hours that next day, no phone call update at all.

    We decided to cancel our order and went to a competitor. The competitor (Lowe's) were absolutely professional and called different vendors to see if one could do the install the same day. Needless to say, it was done. I have always had reservations about Home Depot service in general but this sealed their fate for me. I am not shopping there anymore. To sum it up, the overall price of the heater plus same day install was cheaper than what I was going to pay at Home Depot. Unsatisfied consumer!!

    I ordered a patio set for Christmas for one of my clients through HomeDepot.com. I was told the delivery would be between December 27-January 4. I let my client I had sent them a gift and should receive it within that time. I checked the status and it showed it was delivered on December 29. On January 9 I hadn't heard from my clients so I contacted them and asked them if they had received anything. They said they had not. I contacted Home Depot on January 10 and they told me the patio set was not delivered because it "got lost"! I told them I needed it sent ASAP. I was told they would have to recharge me and they would send me a refund later for the item THEY LOST! They can't refund me now. I'm currently on hold (going on 35 minutes) to talk to a manager.

    Project Goal: Remove carpet and install tile in 3 rooms and master bath of my home. The situation was distasteful from the moment the project started to the end result. There was no consulting at the sales table on the tile that had the "look" I wanted and, as it turns out, I believe the tile is an outdoor tile and it is very rough when walking on it. It was never cleaned and/or sealed at project close. The resource that US Installations sent to lay the tile ripped up all three rooms at once leaving me to sit at my kitchen counter (with my cats) to work. My house is not large however, allowing only one (1) resource for the entire job is clearly greed. Both cats got very sick the week of "completion", costing me quite a bit in vet bills. I did not expect this neither did I expect to be the assistant to move my furniture.

    At one point, in the master bath (toilet area) the resource damaged my walls to the point I had to call in a painter to fix the drywall and re-paint (I was re-reimbursed for this however the inconvenience was mine to bear), the resource that was sent to put the molding back in place felt there was too much damage for the old molding to cover the wall. Once the bathroom was fixed and repainted new molding was ordered and as it was installed the tile and the walls were scratched in several areas.

    The tile was not cut in the areas where it needed to be i.e. closets and next to the shower and the resource simply left a large amount of grout in those areas. There is a certain degree of lippage and the tile is very difficult to clean. It is too rough for a swifter or sponge mop and is very wet and stays wet after it is cleaned. I am now concerned about the foundation in my home. The only communication that comes from Home Depot or US Installations is to deny that any wrongdoing occurred.

    When my husband purchased a dimmer switch at the Bloomfield, NJ Home Depot, an employee told him "Don't overcomplicate things" when my husband asked for instructions on how to install the switch (and that he was not an electrician). When my husband tried to follow his instructions when installing the switch, they did not work. He subsequently called the Clifton, New Jersey Home Depot. After being put on hold, a person came on the line. This person confirmed he was an electrician (after my husband asked if he was one). After my husband explained his installation concerns, this same person stated he was not an electrician.

    Electrical wiring is not something to take lightly. Lives can be lost if the wrong information is shared. Employees at the Bloomfield & Clifton Home Depot shared inaccurate information. After I called Liz **, manager, Clifton Home Depot, she stated there were 6 electricians on staffer (after I told her we were told there was one). She then claimed she asked these individuals if they spoke with my husband. They all denied it.

    On 1/2/17, I bought several faucets at the Caster Ave. store in Philly. I opened them on the 4th, only to find that not only was one previously opened and missing parts, but another had a completely different faucet inside the box. Apparently, instead of putting RTV stickers on these 2 returns, the store just put straps back on them, and put them right back into inventory. I called customer care, and Yakia (sp) took care of me. The store is a 45 minute round trip for me, but I didn't want to return the faucets to my local store, because I didn't want them taking a hit for some shady crap another store did, that's not even in the same district. Lakia understood, and gave me a gift card for my time and frustration. I wasn't exactly happy, but I was satisfied.

    On 1/5, I returned the 2 faucets to the store I bought them at, and the cashier put the RTV stickers on them. Cool. I still needed more faucets, so I went to the HD on Bustleton Ave. I bought over a dozen there. Opened them all up today. One looked like someone tried to carve something into it. Another was all scratched up, even looking like a tool was used to remove the aerator. Mind you, all of these faucets had the straps on them. Needless to say, I was quite livid. That's 4 used/switched faucets sold to me as new, in just 3 days!

    Here's where it really gets interesting. Today, I called customer care at 5:47 pm, and spoke to Stephen. At one point, he blamed me for not opening the boxes in the store. ("If I was a consumer, I would have gotten a manager, and opened all boxes.") He also accused me of trying to scam the store. ("If you have the receipt, and if the contents match the picture on the box, you can return it to the store you bought it from for a refund.") Wow. Just, wow.

    So, the store re-strapped some used/damaged items, and sold them to me as new (fraud) and, after blaming me for not opening & inspecting everything before I bought it, and suggesting that I'm running a scam, CUSTOMER CARE tells me I get to waste an hour and a half plus, and they'll do me the favor of giving me my money back. I'd had enough when he told me "I've given you your options for resolution. Do you have any other questions for me?" Really?!? I hung up at that point. I called back, hoping to talk to someone with some sense, but the call center had closed due to the weather.

    My husband and I began working with Myrt at Home Depot in Grafton, WI several months ago on the cabinet design for our kitchen, mud room, and two bathrooms in our new construction home. Since the start, Myrt has been extremely "space-brained" with the computer work and everything involved in cabinet design. Every time we go in to work with her, we are there for at least an hour, when it should only take a half hour MAX. She is constantly unable to get the program to work properly to design the layout and then when she goes to print copies of the paperwork, she prints two copies (one for herself and one for us), but has so many page and they get out of order that she loses track of what she is doing and it takes her 15 minutes to organize the papers.

    When we went in with our blueprints, she ended up putting the wrong sized window in the kitchen so when the company who is going to install the cabinets went to measure, everything was off-center. That was another 1.5 hour meeting with Myrt so she could fix what should have been done correctly in the first place. We met with Myrt at the end of November to finalize all of our cabinet sizes and sign off that we were good to go. We got a quote on cabinet install for $3600, which she said was subject to the final measurement. Once we met with her and got all of our stuff figured out, she told us we couldn't order the cabinets yet, because they can't do the final measurement until drywall is installed. She never told us that, so we were now set back two weeks to wait for drywall to be installed.

    Once that was all finished, she told my husband we would have to meet with her AGAIN to finalize everything. When my husband went in to meet with her, she gave him the cabinet install total of $4800 (original was $3600). That is a 33% increase from the original quote when NOTHING changed in the cabinet layout. When our contractor asked her why the install increased 33% from our quote, she said we had 2 more vents that needed to be cut out for. So we are paying $600 a piece for them to cut out vent holes in our cabinets? I think not! In addition to all of this, we were told that even though they are installing the cabinets, we have to get them from Home Depot to our home. So we are paying all this money and they won't even deliver them. They got my husband to pay AN ADDITIONAL $60 for them to deliver to the home.

    The final point I am going to make is that she had given us a quote at $10/sq ft for our countertops, if we installed them. In the end, we decided we wanted them to install them - our price went up to $28/sq ft. When I asked, she said the countertop was on sale when she quoted us originally. I am livid and will be calling the store manager, as well as their corporate office, to inform them of this hilarity.

    I placed an order with Home Depot online on 12/10 and purchased a Samsung electric range. The item were set to be delivered on 12/27, and as instructed by Home depot, I will be contacted the night before regarding delivery time frame, which never happened. I then tried calling Home depot multiple times on the morning of the 27th but could not speak to a live agent until around noon time, and I was told by the agent that the delivery will take place between 2:30-6pm, and I will receive a phone call 30 minutes prior.

    I waited until 5pm and no one called, so I called back Home depot again. I was put on hold until 5:24 pm before I can finally speak to someone and was told "the delivery company is a outside contract, not part of Home Depot and it closes at 4pm so it is up to the client to call back the next day during work hour to find out the problem and to reschedule!" I was very upset and shocked by how Home depot treat their client! I then called back again and asked to speak to a supervisor. I got directed to Michelle at Home delivery support in South Dakota. She did some search and told me that "since there was never a truck assigned to the purchase, there was never a delivery to take place". Moreover, the delivery company told her that "they could not locate the item" so I need to contact my local Home depot to resolve the issue.

    I made a purchase at Home depot, a company I thought I could trust, not knowing that once Home depot collected my money, everyone I spoke to tells me that it is no longer Home depot's concern whether my purchase was delivered or not, and everyone just tells me that I should direct my issue to the delivery company and the store that I made the purchase from, and unfortunately it was purchased online, there's no one I can turn to!!! I am extremely disappointed and angry! I wrote to Home depot and I called and I did online chat but so far no one reached out to me. This was a holiday present to my mother and now it is all ruined. I can never trust home depot and their poor customer service ever again!

    Went to Home Depot in Lake Elsinore, California to purchase some items this weekend and I wanted to get some assistance getting some things on my cart and to my surprise I was not able to find anyone available to help me. I asked the manager and he said the person working that area was on his lunch hour and there was no one else to assist. I decided not to get the wood I needed because I couldn't get it on my cart. I bought a reflective styrofoam panel and while paying the cashier told me that there was not barcode on the panel. I said, "Ok I think the price is 7.96," but she said I need to get someone to check the price. She started looking on her phone and I suggested that maybe she could call someone in that department. She said, "No it will be faster if I look on my phone," but around 5 minutes later I said, "Please just call someone." She said that the person in the Lumber department was out to lunch and no one was available to help.

    She asked me if I could step aside so she could help other customers while someone called her back. I said, "No." I said, "Can you please just charge me for the 1/2 inch so I can be on my way?" (the one I had was the 1/4 inch) but she said no. Then she called the manager and the manager didn't know what to do, and about 15 minutes later I was really impatient, and I asked the manager to please just charge me for the 1/2 inch so I could be on my way.

    Today Dec 18, 2016, time 2.45 pm when we gone to Home Depot. Few months ago, I brought a Glacier Bay faucet. It started leaking, I gone back to replace it but customer service deny. They said "according to our policy, we can only refund and replace within 90 days. After that we have to deal with manufacturer by yourself." Then they call the person who works in the department to see if they can help in the situation. She came and looked at the faucet and reply "Oh! That is Glacier Bay, it's a cheap faucet and we can't do anything about it, you have to call the manufacturer." She said that in front of other customers.

    I felt so embarrassed because as a buyer view point we all look at best deal. But she had no right to make a point on our buying. Then I ask her to call manager, she came and said that we have to contact manufacturer or "you can get part to repair it." I said "ok," then she took me to the part department person. Well bad luck, the part department person said, they don't carry parts for Glacier Bay faucet.

    Well, manager was still standing there. I complaints about "Adihel," name of employee, and mention "why you sell the cheap product if it is not a good quality." She said, "customer like cheap product." But I said she has no right to say me those words. Manager didn't apologized. I just left with all the bad experience. I been so loyal customer and brought all the stuff when we did renovation from Home Depot. But from now they lose the customer and I will also never recommend it to anyone!!! I really want someone to get back to us.

    I called Home Depot and purchased a washer and dryer along with a pedestal washer and a pedestal drawer. These were purchased with the guidance of the salesperson on the phone. When the items were delivered, the delivery people refused to install them because my laundry room only had 2 electrical outlets. The addition of the pedestal washer required a 3rd outlet. The salesperson should have advised me of this. Pedestal washers are a new feature and, in general, laundry rooms do not have 3 outlets. I called an electrician who fitted the required outlet. I then tried to reschedule my delivery. The phone process is appalling with long holds, robot driven and when you eventually get a person, that person has difficulty understanding your phone and order numbers due to a language barrier. I gave up after 2 hours on the phone and went to HD store where I was told they don't have access to online orders.

    I was given another number to call and finally got a new delivery date. 2nd delivery - the appliances were unloaded at my home and I was informed that I had ordered the wrong pedestal for my gas dryer. I informed them that I had been sold the wrong pedestal by the HD salesperson. They advised me to "refuse" delivery of both the dryer and the pedestal and to go to the store and order a new set. This I tried to do – the store told me the dryer had now increased in price and both the dryer and pedestal were backordered until late January. I asked the salesperson if I found a pedestal elsewhere would they install the dryer. Of course, she said. Next day, I found the pedestal at Sears. I called HD and again with the robots and couldn't get a delivery installation date for 2 weeks. I again verified that I had a pedestal from Sears and would that be a problem with the installation. Again the answer was "no problem".

    Yesterday, the delivery people called to confirm delivery and again, I informed them that I already had the pedestal – "no problem". Today, 3rd delivery the delivery/installation person refused to fit the dryer. Reason given - we didn't purchase the pedestal from Home Depot. This pedestal is just a drawer. It doesn't require any electrical or gas connection. It is just a drawer the dryer sits on! I called Home Depot and after an hour of telling my tale they backed up the delivery/installation person saying I should call Sears to fit the dryer that I purchased from HD. I gave up and hired a plumber and he installed it in 20mins. I will never buy an appliance from HD again. I am delighted with my choice of product but HD's incompetency has soured the entire experience. We shall see if they refund the money I paid for the wrong pedestal and installation fee.

    On 2013 I was convinced to purchase an LG washing machine and I got the five year protection plan at the El Centro, California Home Depot 92243. They described the warranty as if it covered everything. Six months later the inside of the door's washing machine started making a noise. In a few months later the bottom right side of the washer door started falling apart in pieces door. I contacted the warranty phone number given and I was sent to an automated answering machine and I was advised to contact the Home Depot. At Home Depot I was advised to contact the number again and they could not help me.

    On Saturday, December 10, 2016 at about 1230 hours I contacted the same number and I was advised to contact Home Depot again. This time I did get help. This is a few years later. A technician arrived at my home to look at the issue but I was not home at the time. But my sister-in-law was there and she called me telling me the technician had some question. He asked me if something had fallen on the washer. I told him no. Nothing has ever fallen on the washer. He contacted my wife also and asked her the same thing, and she advised him the same thing, which nothing had ever fallen on the washer and it started internally. The technician didn't fix anything and conducted a report stating something fell on the washer door and was not cover by the warranty.

    I called and complained about the report, and I was transferred to numerous answering machines set up by the Home Depot and to the LG repair company. When I finally got to talk to a human person I was advised a different technician was going to go to my home to get a second opinion. Today, Friday, December 16, 2016, at about 1:52 PM hours, I received a call from the Home Depot warranty company advising me there was no one in my area to go to my home to give me a second opinion.

    I feel much disrespected, insulted, and distrust in this matter Home Depot and the LG company does business. First you sell me a product was the sales representative explains as if I'm buying a great warranty but it was a lie. Home Depot truly your tech guy whoever he is has been giving you false reports. I will not recommend any of my friends and family to buy a warranty from Home Depot ever. I will never recommend an LG product also because the washing machine door came with a defect and you don't want to fix it. I hope everybody can read this report and follows, and agree with what I feel. Thank you.

    I bought a GE Profile range in August of 2015 from Home Depot of Clearwater. In exactly one year it broke down. I called Home Depot warranty service. They sent out a service center to diagnose the problem. They determined it was the motherboard, they ordered the part and came back out to fix. TWO weeks later! Two months later the same exact problem. A new service center came out to diagnose (hands on hip looked and said "Yup, probably the same thing"). Really? He told me he would overnight the part, that was Monday, here it is Friday with numerous phone calls to the service center and his VM being full and couldn't leave any messages. I finally had to contact Home Depot warranty services to help with the situation which was no help at all because they do not know what goes on out in the field.

    Just so happens that it doesn't matter what you do or say. They only have one speed, SLOW... The going time frame to have anything fixed is 2 weeks. Imagine here it is Christmas time and I cannot bake anything and not only am I spending money on presents I have to now spend money on eating out every day, not to mention having to throw away all the food in my refrigerator twice now! The only thing they are good at is saying "I'm so sorry, I understand your concern..." Ha! Do you really??? The Warranty program to me seems like a scam! They don't care about us or something would have been done already. Oh yea the part finally came in today and I get a "We will call you NEXT WEEK to set up a time to come out and fix..." MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    We purchased Behr Porch and Patio paint recently from Home Depot on S Tamiami Trail. The paint we purchased was custom blended and I understand that there is a no return policy, but our complaint was not the color but when we were done the paint was very slippery to the point I almost fell. It was like a skating rink. As I was trying to explain to the assistant manager (Greg) this problem, he continued to read the directions on the can. He asked if we waited 24 hours before we stepped on the paint and of course I said yes we waited, then he said did you wait 72 hours for it to cure? It hadn't been 72 hours when we talked to him, but not sure if even if we waited for it to cure it would make any difference.

    I wanted him to just acknowledge the fact that there should be some warning on the can stating to be careful that surface may be slippery for some time after painting. I am sure someone could argue that we should have known this, but since we hired a painter to do the work we figured he would have said something also. Anyway, we thought the manager was very rude and at one time said "I don't care what you do with the paint". At this point we figured it was not worth our time to continuing talking to Greg. I would like Home Depot to improve their packaging and state on the label somewhere to be aware of the paint being slippery after painting.

    We went online to order a grill for a Christmas gift. I was told it was in stock. The following week we were told it was back ordered. As soon as it was in stock they would let us know. I got an email saying the grill had shipped and to expect the grill on Dec 13. No grill showed up on the 13th. Called on the 14 to be told the grill had never left the warehouse but a delivery ticket had been printed. No grill to be found. They have no idea where it is and now is out of stock again until the 1st of year.

    They were willing to give me the same discount off another grill that was higher in price and we would have to pay the difference and go to the store to pick it up. The nearest store is a 45-minute drive each way. No help there and I would have to pay for the new grill while they try to figure out what happen so I would be out the money for two grills plus travel time and all they can say is, "I'm sorry". Never buy from you again online or in store if this is how you treat your customers.

I can buy an item and the turn around and go back into the same store to the same register and the item I just purchased does not show up. I am in construction so I joined the pro desk so that all receipts from my workers show on the computer so far not one purchase has ever been found. So either I am stealing all this building materials from your store or you have to find a way to return these items and get credit on my credit card.

    So far the last 29 returns over the past three months I was give a store credit card... This means all the purchases I do online I cannot use these worthless cards. It also means that I have to use good money out of my pocket to pay for the credit card bill when I returned the items and lost all that money. I have 385 dollars in store credit cards that I cannot use because I do not want to give them to my workers. I cannot keep track of the bills then. I want the credit back to my credit card... Simple easy. Lowes has no problem doing that even with no receipts. If this cannot be fixed let me know and I will just cancel the credit card as it is costing me 2x on every item I buy.

    Horrible customer service department that doesn't care at all if you're happy. Return policy is ridiculous. Unlike other retailers, they won't send you a replacement while waiting for your return using the payment already taken. Instead they have to refund the original payment which will take 5-8 business days to appear on your credit card, then charge you again for the replacement order so you will have paid double for at least a week and that's if the item is at the same price instead of more expensive! Not a big deal unless you don't have the money to pay double and the order was for a birthday or Christmas when time is of the essence! I will NEVER order from Home Depot again!!!

    I ordered 2 items totaling $100 (paid with $25 gift card/$75 on Visa). When I went to return 1 of the items for $50, they refused to give me back $50 on my Visa and insisted that I could only get $25 on the Visa and the rest back as a Store Credit. This is a distasteful way to do business because: 1) They had no problem taking my money for the order, but refused to give it back except as store credit. I had my receipt, it was within the return guidelines and is brand new. There is no grounds for keeping my money and issuing a credit. 2) You cannot use store credit or online purchases anymore. So basically they took my money for an online purchase, and couldn't even give me a refund in a payment form that can be actually used online again. STORE CREDIT CANNOT BE USED ON HOMEDEPOT.COM ANY LONGER. (This is a new policy, so buyers beware).

    My husband is a general contractor so we frequently are at Home Depot. Our store of choice is Wareham MA, due to its proximity to our location. It was 8 PM and we were picking up a few things for the holidays. I got in line behind a few customers at checkout. There was only one register open, and a young man was just closing down the self service as we walked by. The women behind the register (Bonnie), shut her light off as we were in line and looked at me and said "I can't ring you out I'm closed." I asked her where I should check out considering there were no other lines open. She replied "I don't know, but I'm going home." I was shocked honestly to be treated this way. The other customers in line were not happy to see this either. She did not have her light off when we approached, and regardless good customer service means helping every customer. I work in the industry, and that is not appropriate behavior.

    The young man from the self checkout yelled "I guess I will help you." He was not happy, but did assist us. It was overall a horrible experience, and we have yet to return to that store. It is actually embarrassing to be treated that way. I would travel before I went to a business that treats its customers with such lack of respect. I have tried multiple times to reach out to customer service explaining I have some information that would help their business standards, yet I have not received anything back in response.

I explained that was a problem because I have family coming in for Christmas and they are staying in the basement, and that I need this fixed. Home Depot called me at work today, 12/13, and didn't even seem to know GA Appliance Repair had been out, and I told HD I needed a resolution other than maybe the part will be available on 12/22.

After calling Exide direct, the rep said Home Depot does and should replace the battery.

    I had the rep speak to a manager Mia at the Home Depot in Alameda 94501. She left the Rep dangling on the phone and walked away to speak to her to the store manager. She returned and exchanged the battery for me. I was given direct instructions that this is only a one time deal. My complaint is that Home Depot should not make the return such a long and frustrating ordeal. They should change their battery policy so it would be more in line with the manufacturer's warranty. I understand Mia, and the return cashier are just following store policy, but eye rolling and it not my job attitude is demoralizing. My final remark is never buy a Car battery from Home Depot!!

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We have been loyal Home Depot customers for years. We bought paint at this location on 2 different occasions (literally a week max difference). The paint lid had the same formula information as the earlier purchased lid. We got TWO different wall colors (see picture below). When I went into the store, the manager didn't come speak to me. They basically told me it was my problem and gave me two new gallons of paint to replace the paint that was incorrect.

    When I asked for store credit they offered me $100. THAT DIDN'T EVEN COVER MY PAINT PURCHASES ( I had bought a total of 5 gallons Behr Marquee paint). I filed a complaint with the corporate office which was an even worse experience which resulted in the "customer specialist" saying I was lying about my experience and how large our basement was based on my paint purchase... hmm I didn't realize the manager of this store AND "customer specialist" were painters. Oh and her answer for when I stated I bought 5 gallons but 2 were different colors was that is why they couldn't offer me more store credit and they DO NOT back their paint mixer machines.

    When I asked to be transferred to her supervisor (3 times) she refused all 3 times stating she was the "highest in the department." Sorry lady, I know you are NOT the end all be all to the customer care department. Such a joke. We were going to do a kitchen remodel, re-do our deck, and get all new doors from Home Depot.

    I recently purchased a Hampton Bay 5-Piece Gas Fire Pit Patio Seating Set with Cushions on 11/25/16 at a Home Depot while visiting a family member over the Thanksgiving holiday. They had a great deal on it and after seeing my brother's fire pit (different brand) I wanted one for my home. Order stated it was on back order but indicated an estimated delivery date of 12/7/16 - 12/9/16. Even with it on back order I was fine with waiting two weeks. Before reading further, moral to this is to double check that they guarantee the estimated delivery date before leaving the store or purchasing.

    I have now called about 4 times and have gotten an different "back in stock" date each time I call. First call after noticing it had not been shipped yet was told that it would be back in stock on Monday 12/5/16. I was ok with this since there was a chance I could still get it by 12/9/16 or early the next week. On 12/7/16 when I noticed it still had not been shipped, I call back and was told that it would not be back in stock until 12/30/16. I then tried to find Hampton Bay manufacture to check with them directly only to find out they are a subsidiary of Home Depot and basically one and the same. After stirring over this for a while I called back and asked for my request to be escalated and got to the resolution department. Woman was nice enough to do some extensive research into my issue and came back and advised that she was informed that the product would not be back in stock until maybe February or March. Are you kidding me?

    As you can imagine I am quite furious that a product that I order that was supposed to take to weeks to get (verified on my receipt and by resolution department) could take up to 4+ months to receive. They then tried to tell me that if the product was not back in stock within 30 days that they would cancel the order and my card would not be charged. I insisted that the order not be cancelled since I had already purchased the propane tank, covers for all 5 pieces and a new drill to help put together (recommended on a review that I read before purchasing it) and I got a great deal on it. If they cancel the order, there is almost no chance I would be able to get the product at the price that I ordered it for.

    I personally think someone made a mistake on the sale price of the product and now they are trying not to honor it. Will wait to see what happens and when it is delivered but as a new card holder to Home Depot (purpose of getting the credit card was to purchase the set) I am extremely disappointed in the current status of this order which was my first with the new credit card.

I emailed the CEO and got a callback within 30 minutes just so I could be told that Home Depot is not in the warranty business and referred me back to Asurion! 3nd visit they sealed my ice maker, didn't work. 3rd time they sealed it again, still didn't work. 4th time the repair company told me they couldn't fix it and didn't bother to look at it after I told them all the prior attempts (so this didn't count as a repair according to Asurion).

    The 5th time they noticed the refrigerator had water moisture coming out from the back which ruined my wall! So they again sealed the ice maker again and sealed the back of the refrigerator. Keep in mind I paid over 2k to have someone seal the inside and outside of my refrigerator! The 6th visit the guy tells me it's making SOME ice and the noise will go away with a replacement of the housing of the water filter. Now they are claiming it's been fixed and the noise is a different problem. Anything not to replace a lemon refrigerator!!! I will never shop at Home Depot again! They just washed their hands clean of me and let Asurion take advantage of me.

    3 repairs makes it a lemon and still they did not replace it and Home Depot stood by their decision!

    I am writing on this review because Home Depot Customer Service will not return my call. I am requesting that Home Depot take responsibility for damages incurred to my home when a new refrigerator I purchased at Home Depot was delivered to my home on July 22, 2016. My experience and the services I received from Home Depot was unacceptable from the point of purchase through product delivery. I have experienced more than $10,000 in house damage, repairs and services to resolve water damage after the installation of a new refrigerator. Aside from the exorbitant damages, I am BESIDE MYSELF that NO ONE from Home Depot will return my call. This issue is not an issue for your insurance company, Electric Insurance or one of their Claims Representatives to determine if Home Depot is at fault or not.

    This is Home Depot's responsibility. Period. The delivery person who removed the existing refrigerator and disconnected the existing water line DID NOT ensure the water valve was properly turned off. The shut off valve was working properly when they arrived. I have no idea what the person did to the valve when they disconnected the water line. I've had significant damage to flooring, subflooring, and drywall. I had to hire a water mitigation company because there was so much damage.

    I have been a loyal Home Depot consumer for more than 10 years using Home Depot as my primary source of supplies and products. I have spent 10s of thousands of dollars on other household major appliances and other minor items. I have had a consumer credit card with Home Depot for years and have within the last three years purchased: 1. Refrigerator - $750 (July 2016), 2. Flooring - $2,289 (April 2016), 3. Heating and A/C unit - $6,450 (February 2015), 4. Electric Range - $1,983 (September 2013), 5. Miscellaneous purchases on personal debit card - >$2500 (2013-2016).

    I am still paying for the flooring that I purchased in April that it is currently damaged because of the improper installation of the refrigerator. I must replace this brand-new flooring because of the damage although I tried in vain to salvage it by hiring a water mitigation company as soon as the water damage was identified. But all this loyalty has gotten me nowhere. I received the run around from: Home Depot Customer Service - WILL NOT RETURN MY CALL, PTG Logistics Headquarters - DENIED RESPONSIBILITY, PTG Logistics insurance company Electric Insurance - DENIED RESPONSIBILITY, PTG Logistics local office in Seaford, DE - DENIED RESPONSIBILITY, PTG Logistics subcontractor who made the delivery PND Logistics, Atlanta, GA - DENIED RESPONSIBILITY.

    NOTE: Home Depot and their third party logistics company, PTG Logistics BOTH have the same insurance company which is not really an insurance company, they just process the claim. It's a circle jerk when you want to make a claim regarding a delivery issue. First, Home Depot tells the consumer to call Electric Insurance to get a claim started. Really??? You are responsible for delivery yet I had to start the process. Then the consumer is told that it will take 24-48 hours to get the claim started before anyone will call you back. When no one called me, I had to call not only Electric back but then I had to call the 3rd party logistics company, PTG Logistics who made the delivery. I actually had to call their corporate office to get someone from a local office in Delaware to call me.

    Then, and this is the kicker, I find out that PTG Logistics has subcontracted the delivery to yet another business out of Atlanta, PND Logistics. When I tried to call PND Logistics Point Of Contact, that person's voicemail was FULL and I couldn't even leave a voicemail for a callback. PND Logistics ultimately refused to file a claim for the damage.

    This is beyond acceptable and it needs to stop!!! It is Home Depot's responsibility to make my purchase right by paying for all the damages incurred. The last time I had contact with Home Depot's Customer Service, I specifically requested someone from Home Depot to call me. I have submitted a request to customer service for support on at least 3 occasion in the 45 days. I emailed customer service on Nov 7, Nov 17, Nov 23, 2016 and have NOT once received a response (today is Dec 7, 2016).

    I am done with Home Depot! I would not recommend Home Depot to anyone. I am warning consumers who have a delivery from a big box store. The delivery is not being made by the store you made the purchase from. The big box store has contracted the delivery services and you are now dealing with a completely unknown service provider. That provider may have then further subcontracted that delivery to another party. Therefore: You have no idea who is walking into your house. You have no idea what kind of training they've received to perform the installation you thought you purchased. You have no idea if that individual has had a background check. You just have no idea.

    On 12/2/16 Called Customer Service San Antonio, Cambray (NW) location. Spoke with Rosie ** regarding a Christmas tree that my mother purchased on 12/7/16. We explained to Ms. ** that she used it for less than 25 days. She asked if she bought a warranty on the tree which I didn't know since I didn't have the receipt on hand. I told her that I was surprised that someone could buy a warranty since it wasn't an electronic device, i.e. TV, washer machine, etc. She asked that we call her once I had the receipt.

    On 12/3/16, after explaining my conversation with the C.S. department my mother asked that I take her to the store. Victoria, the customer service associate assisted us with our problem. My mother, who is 81 years of age explained to Victoria that it was purchased a year ago. She took the receipt and the original card that was attached to the tree and asked if we had the tree so to exchange for a new item. We explained to Victoria that since it, San Antonio was in the midst of heavy storms, we wanted to make sure we could exchange it before we hauled the tree to H.D. We left immediately home and retrieved the Xmas tree and returned to H.D. By the time we returned to H.D. the weather was even worse.

    Once again we went up to the counter, Victoria waited on us but this time noticed that it was last year's receipt. She turned around and spoke with Ruben **, who evidently her boss. He looked at the receipt and said they couldn't do anything. We explained to him what we just went through, mentioned the fact you give a return policy on something that you use typically only 1 month. While my mother I were standing right in front of Mr. ** he started to complain about an employee's break, a cashier not doing something properly and then yelled at someone for some miscellaneous problem. He finally came back to us and said that all I could do was to call the manufacturer. I asked for the store manager number and divisional. He gave me a 1-800 number (surprise, surprise) for the manager's contact and never gave me the divisional.

    While still in the rain, but in the parking lot, I called the 1-800 number. After maneuvering through the maze of numbers I finally spoke with Stefon in H.D. Atlanta Customer CARE Center. I asked to speak to the manager, Stephanie **. After at least 25 minutes he came back on the phone and said that he couldn't get through. He said that he requested that she contact us directly and to give her 48 hours to respond. Before hanging up I asked that he write all the specifics of my case so that she would be aware of my complaint. A case number was issued.

    On 12/5/16, I called the 1-800 number AGAIN and spoke with Leticia **. I explained to her that I was asked to call back on Monday if the store manager, Stephanie ** didn't respond. She blamed Stefon for not documenting my claim correctly why she didn't call back. She asked me AGAIN to explain my situation. I was now angry for the mere fact that I was waiting my time if no one was responsible for anything in this company.

    The following was discussed: original confusion on buying a warranty on a Christmas tree, original date of purchase was discussed during FIRST trip and gave OK for return, no eye contact with Customer Service Manager on SECOND trip, currently blaming error on behalf of the agent from Atlanta documenting my original complaint. Ms. ** was probably the least helpful if not the most confrontational of any of H.D. representatives. He started to use words such as "assumption" and "re-hashing" whereby I knew it was time to say goodbye to Home Depot.

    I called my 81-year old mother and asked that she cut up her card and then called each of my brothers and sisters and asked that they do the same. People...this is a new world that we are living in. Be smart. The days when retailers backed what they sell IS OVER. You are better off buying online where they are more concerned about how you rate their services.

    PLEASE AVOID the HD in Virginia Beach on Independence Blvd at Celebration Station. I tried to order a $1375.00 gas grill in the store and was told to "go home and do that". So I went home and ordered the grill on 11/11/16. HD has my money and I still have NO grill, is that theft?? I went back to the store on 11/16/16 and waited 30 minutes while the customer service person played on the computer. She then took my order to have the grill assembled at the store and delivered by them to my home for more money and I paid with my credit card.

    The store called the next day and said the grill was damaged and they would reorder it. NEVER heard from them again. Called last week and told, "yes it is here you need to come and get it". I told her I had paid for assembly and delivery and she said "we have no record of that". I said "my credit card shows you charged me for the service," and she said "well you can pay for it again and we can deliver it 12/3/16." So I paid again and guess what Home Depot NEVER delivered the grill and no call.

    I waited ALL DAY at home for them, I called the store Sunday and was told "we can TRY to deliver Monday or Tuesday". I explained to her I have to work for a living and can't wait at home all day anymore. I told her to tell the manager I am filing complaints with BBB and online and with the corporate office, and she said "ok go ahead". And now it is Monday and NO CALL from the manager, maybe he got my money as a bonus from HD for Christmas.

    I purchased a new GE profile dishwasher from Home Depot and paid to have it professionally installed by them. The brand new appliance does not clean dishes at all. I ran the same set of dishes through three cycles before contacting GE for warranty service. Because I reached out to GE instead of Home Depot (which I thought was the correct action to take), Home Depot will not stand behind the product, hiding behind a 48 hour notification policy (and in some circumstances people may not even legitimately use a new appliance like a dishwasher or washer/dryer within that window!).

    GE has made two service calls, once replacing a water valve on the machine. My prior machine worked fine but I "upgraded" to this new appliance for additional features. The GE service technician claims this product will never work because I have a tankless water heater, even though there is no documentation of this through Home Depot or GE. GE says it is up to Home Depot to replace or exchange the product, yet Home Depot will not. I spent a lot of money on a high-end appliance that does not work from day 1, have contacted what I thought were the appropriate parties to address the issue, and no one will help or stand behind the product.

    In 2008 I purchased between 1200 and 1400 square feet of composite decking. The material was installed on a large deck. Within 1 1/2 years the decking swelled so bad that it closed the 3/16 gap between the boards. This lifetime decking warped and cracked longways and the width of every board. I had 3 or 4 extra boards that I stored under the deck out of the weather and they did the same thing. I notified Home DEPOT and they sent out a representative from the supplier.

    To my surprise the decking was not the product that we thought we ordered. HOME DEPOT had me contact the company representative. THAT WAS A JOKE!! I have got bids to replace this deck that we can no longer enjoy and can't afford to do it. I have been doing a little research and found this decking supplier has multiple lawsuits against them for the same problem. This deck will cost 16000 to 18000 dollars to rip off, get rid of and replace depending on material cost. My family has many rental properties and purchases a lot of products from Home depot. I have had two consultations with lawyers and they both say that I have to pursue home depot the for the faulty material.

    Ordered an entire house of appliances in Nov. Delivery was set for Dec 1. The night before after receiving a call confirming we were told that three appliances could not be delivered because of a truck issue. As of that conversation 3 appliances would be delivered Dec 1. And the others Dec 3 after arguing because they wanted to deliver a week later. This was not acceptable but we had no choice. After being given a delivery time of 12-4pm for Thur, no delivery was made. Now we are told order was canceled and everything would be delivered on Sat 3.

    Now again take off of work for a delivery of 1-4, we get a phone call at 4 saying two hours out. At 7pm after being on the phone for an hour we are told the truck is broken down and not going to deliver. Again call our local store. First speak with Carmelo the manager who tells me "I have been hearing a lot of this. I just don't think they want to drive down here". He then passes the phone to Brandon who can not answer any questions. Now back to Carmelo who tells me I have to speak with Erin who will be in tomorrow at 9am.

    This is the 2nd and last time I will purchase an appliance from Home Depot. They are totally incapable of communicating with their outsourced delivery service. I live in a rural area where large trucks can not navigate. The first purchase I made that required delivery was a freezer. When I made the purchase I asked the sales person to make sure that the people doing the delivery know not to bring in a large truck because of the street and the winding drive. When they show up they are in a huge truck and call me from the street asking if they could use my minivan to transport the freezer to the house. I agreed and they unpacked the freezer in the road and crammed it into my minivan. They did manage to get it in the minivan and to the house but after they brought it in I discovered that they put a large dent in the freezer. I contacted Home Depot and they sent out a replacement in guess what... another gigantic truck!

    This time the driver told me that he thought he could get the truck to the house. He did in fact get the truck to the house, dropped off the replacement and picked up the damaged freezer. Then he couldn't maneuver the truck out and drove it across my yard. It happened to be raining and there are still deep ruts in the yard from the tires.

    My next encounter with Home Depot stupidity is still ongoing. Last week I purchased a new Wall Oven and when the employee placed the order I asked once again to make sure that the people delivering the oven didn't try to bring it in a big truck. The employee told me that she had no way of noting that on the order but that the person making the delivery would call me the day before and that I could tell them then. I received a call but it was an automated message. I had to call the referenced number and wait on hold listening to crappy distorted demented hold music and when a human answered I was told that it was too late because the oven was already loaded on a big ** truck. She told me that she was going to cancel the delivery and reschedule to the middle of next week. Why can't these idiots communicate with each other so that customers (in my case, soon to be ex-customer) aren't put in these situations?

Called Home Depot to see why this delivery wasn't coming on another truck later or next day, why I need to wait 10 more days to get it. She said they forgot to put it on the truck and they aren't gonna correct their screw up, stuff happens. They are full till then of deliveries so I can't get squeezed in the other, customers come first. So I call corporate. First guy passed me on cause he didn't wanna deal with it.

Brochure is not numbered or dated, and 'colors' are also not numbered. 17 days of calls. Finally told them to install something and I will paint it. I have thousands of dollars of work to be done on my home. You can bet that Home Depot will not provide materials or labor!

    September 22, 2016. We went to Home Depot in London to look for a walk-in shower and get pricing. We found a 5-foot shower we liked and the store put the order in through Home Depot's online service for the shower and also a shower door. We were told we could expect delivery in 10 to 14 days and that we would receive a call from the delivery folks. September 29th - Received email saying that same-day courier would call to arrange a delivery date for the 'Door ONLY'.

    They called October 5th and we arranged for delivery on October 11th. The only time frame the courier could give us was delivery sometime between 9 am & 5 pm. Because we had a previous problem with a dishwasher delivery August 2015, and I had not heard anything from the courier at 4:15 pm, I decided to call for an update. I was put on hold and then told that they would contact the driver and that I would receive a call-back within 10 minutes. No call came and I called again at 4:50 pm. Once more I was put on hold then told the delivery time had changed to between 1:00 and 6:00 pm. The driver arrived at 6:30 pm with the door. My entire day was wasted waiting.

    I waited for another whole week (Oct 18th) and then called to enquire about the shower delivery. Again put on hold and then after at least 5 minutes was told they would check on a shipping date and call me back. There was NO CALL. On October 31st I visited the London store and asked for help. A very nice lady in Kitchen/Bath tried to help me and made some calls. After 1-1/2 hours she informed me that the ship date was in 2 days - on Nov 2nd - but that it could take up to 3 weeks for us to receive the shower. On November 1st, I received an email stating that the ship date had been changed to November 7th.

    On November 2nd I called to On-Line and spoke with a gentleman who was very pleasant and after about one hour on the phone informed me that the ship date was now moved to November 5th. Later that same day, I received another email stating that the shower had been shipped, no date was given. November 3rd, I received a call from someone requesting my card number who said that they were trying to put the charge for the shower through on my card and that it had been declined.

    I explained that it was not possible because we have a credit limit of $4,200 and we had a zero balance since June 2016. The only purchases put on the card were for the shower and the door. The total cost for both these items including shipping was 2,579.20 which would leave us an available balance of $1,620.80 on our card. I suggested that it looked as though the shower had already been billed to my card. I was told to call the Credit Department to get the issue resolved. Citi credit agreed that our card had been paid in full in June 2016 and that the only charges since then were at approximately $3,400. They would check to see why the error was made and have it corrected.

    I have spent a minimum of 2 full days of my time trying to get these issues resolved and still do not have the shower or any real idea of when it will get delivered. I waited for over a month before having old tub and shower removed so that we could prepare for the shower installation. We have no shower now and it has greatly disrupted our life. We had planned to visit my mother mid-November who is ill and in a home in Saint John, New Brunswick. Our trip has been put on hold because of this mess. Every day it seems we are told a different story by different people. Both our plumber and electrician have been very understanding and have rescheduled their time around the ever changing delivery dates. However, they have both told us that they have other work they need to commit to. This just adds to the stress and uncertainty.

    We have been loyal customers for the past several years and have always suggested Home Depot to friends and family. We have spent over $10,000 dollars at Home Depot in the past year. I know this amount is insignificant to your corporate gross sales but to us $10,000 is a substantial investment. We are going into our 8th week of waiting for the shower and still have no confirmation of when we will receive delivery. We are retired and this has caused considerable upheaval in our home and stress for both my wife and myself.

    I am requesting an answer from customer care with confirmation that the billing has been cleared up with regards to my credit card and with definite firm dates for delivery. We feel strongly that we should be given some compensation from Home Depot for our suffering. This project started out with enthusiasm and excitement over getting a new renovated bathroom and it is fast becoming a nightmare with no end in sight. I am sure you would agree that having to go to a friends house for a shower is not an idyllic situation. I look forward to a reply by return email. PS - We now have had 5 conversations with customer care and although they continue to promise delivery and say they will call back they do not and we still have no shower as of November 10th.

    So February 2014 my husband and I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot with a 3 year extended warranty. I first called in on October 26, 2016 because my washer was messing up. I was told that D&J appliance 251-829-5295 were coming to assist me on that following Tuesday. They never showed up or called me!!! I waited until Saturday November 5th to call back and inquire as to why no one had came or called me. I was told that the company had ordered parts, I was absolutely confused because they never came out to my house. I was told to give them another 2 business days to find me someone because I did not want that same company not showing up again so they again called a old number and never updated my contact information!!!

    So I am sitting on the phone with them again and they just randomly picked another servicer Randy Appliance Inc 251-824-3179 and they don't pick up the phone just a voicemail and google pulls up no address and there is no website and the information had not been verified since 2014... So now I am being put on hold for over 1 hour and I am fed up with this nonsense!!! Please do not use them because the customer is not of their concern whatsoever. Save yourself the headache.

    The balance is broken on my Simonton window which is a simple fix. Simonton informed me to have it fixed by the seller, Home Depot. Home Depot at home services customer support, 877-903-3768, does answer the phone promptly, but that where it ends. I've called five times and still haven't received a call indicating that it will be fixed. You would think after ten days, I would get a little more than lip service. I shop at Home Depot weekly, but I wouldn't recommend their installation services. The warranty seems useless.

    Do NOT buy appliances here. We chose Home Depot because they were $45 cheaper in delivery than Best Buy. What a mistake. First, they showed up to install the dishwasher on a Friday, but FORGOT the dishwasher. Then, after the 4th call, they told us they, "found it" and it would be delivered on Saturday afternoon. We were able to try it out on Monday and it turned off halfway through the cycle, repeatedly. We called first thing Tuesday, and they said "Sorry, it's been 48 hours, Whirlpool will have to fix it."

    So, today, a month later, we have had Whirlpool out here THREE times to fix it. They told us that the computer board was defective. Home Depot customer service told us, "Sorry, we can't help you. We'll replace it if he's out more than 3 times." And Whirlpool just told me, "Home Depot will NEVER replace it" and that they just keep sending Whirlpool technicians out. It was defective the moment we got it, technician confirmed it was, and now we're stuck with a defective dishwasher. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE customer service... Go to Best Buy and don't buy a Whirlpool.

    I recently bought a Samsung washing machine for my mother on 9/26/16. The delivery date was October 4th 2016. The machine was deliver the appearance seem ok so we accepted delivery. I've been away racing for a few weeks and October 24th I went to I install it. First thing I did was plug it in to see what display looked like. I hit power button and machine would not power up. Tested outlet ok. You can feel that when you press the power button you get no click. Tried other power outs still no activation. Call Samsung and explained issue. They said it hasn't been 30 days so bring it back for refund or exchange. Went to Home Depot thinking it will be a easy exchange boy I was wrong. Home Depot return policy is you need to call manufacturer within 48 hrs of delivery.

    At Home Depot once you purchase a major appliance they have zero liability for the product. They transferred me to some Home Depot department for customer service and I got the same answer. All in all I spent 900 on a washing that doesn't work. Called the number for Samsung tech and they said I will hear something within 48 hrs to schedule appt. So who knows when some will get out there to diagnosis problem. It's brand new and never been used. I don't want it repaired. I want a new and Home Depot could care less.

    All in all every other appliance place has a 30 return policy. (Lowe's, Sears and P.C. Richards.) My advice never NEVER BUY A MAJOR APPLIANCE FROM HOME DEPOT!!! Their customer care program is pitiful. I will be in contact with main headquarters tomorrow to see if they offer any type of compensation but after reading most of the reviews it's very doubtful they will help. Highly disappointed in Home Depot and will tell everyone I possibly can to stay away from Home Depot major appliances.

    In process of building a new structure where construction started Aug. 22. In anticipation of start date orders $** of stock Anderson windows at local HD. Asked to have them delivered to the construction company in another state. 5 days before start time contractor told me no windows had been delivered. Immediately went to HD and found out that, despite assurances of HD staff, windows could not be delivered to contractor, only to store or my house.

    Next thing I found out was that because of this delivery issue HD had canceled my order without informing me. Since I had already paid $** had to restart the order and the clock which meant another month before windows would arrive at local HD and I would have to drive them to construction site. Because of this delay I had to dismiss the construction crew for a month, contractor had to entirely re-arrange his crew schedules and I came very close to not having this structure completed before access to property is blocked by snow (mountain property). We have recovered from this schedule problem due entirely to cooperation by the contractor. The only compensation we received from HD was the use of a truck for 2 days to transport the materials to the building site.

    As part of construction planning also cashed in about $1200 of credit card rewards for HD gift cards in the standard $25 denomination. Main purpose was to purchase $700 wood stove. When I tried to order the stove (both online and in-store with help of customer service) it turns out that you can only use 10 gift cards per order through HD online for a single purchase. This policy is not described in any HD information online and in fact there is contradictory information available. I called HD customer service who tried to blame the issue on my credit card company. After every incidence when I replied to the customer service person she entered "case closed/resolved" despite no resolution. When I attempted to pursue this problem further up the chain ran into a brick wall of people who will not give e-mail addresses, last names or any other way of documenting their responses except for online chat personnel.

    As a result I am stuck with about $700 of gift cards that I will either have to sell in secondary market or bleed off in minor purchase over time. My direct email to the HD general counsel office concerning the lack of upfront consumer disclosure on this issue has, as most other issues related to these transactions, been ignored.

    On the positive side, the individuals at HD we have dealt with have always been polite. But they clearly have not been given the support they need to attempt to resolve issues beyond the local manager's access to small funds to deal with big issues. I understand that ConsumerAffairs has financial relationships with companies reviewed on this site that are also not clearly disclosed. However, if this service can get the attention of HD and settle my complaints I am glad to give them a chance before resorting to other alternatives.

    I bought 4 appliances from Home Depot; and from the day they were supposed to deliver them, July 6, 2115, and didn't show up, I had so many problems with them that I can't begin to list them. After a very shoddy installation of a dishwasher (trim from cabinet removed and taken out of my house, extra long water hoses left coiled in cabinet space so that space was unusable, large gaps on either side of dishwasher. Job not even finished. Had to be re-done), the last appliance was finally installed in November, five months after purchase date.

    Home Depot's scheduler/expediter refused to take my calls. My husband had gone and talked to her. No help. I finally had to demand that she see me. She tried to get out of it. The young man at the Customer Service desk told her: "You need to talk to this lady." I still had to yell and threaten to get her to sit down and listen to me. I was told they couldn't replace the stove top, after getting THREE that were chipped. She told me that they didn't have one in my color. A lie. I called GE, got two more delivered, both chipped. I kept the one with the smallest chip; because my nerves were in such a shape (I'm 78 years old) that I couldn't handle anymore of their incompetence.

    It took them two months, after two men came to measure for installing a wall, to figure out how to make a "template" for the opening to install it. When I called to ask when it would be done, they couldn't find a record of the two men having been here. I could've done it myself, by drilling a hole in the corners and using a small saw to cut from one hole to the other (a piece of wood about 2" by 24". The oven shelf slants down infront, faulty from the factory). A griddle, with shallow sides full of bacon grease actually slid forward and could have burned me badly had I not been using an oven mitt. Home Depot (once again) couldn't replace it because GE didn't make that color anymore. Not true. I asked, "So I bought the last one in the whole country?" They said, "probably."

    I left a letter for the Manager (Sean **) with his assistant listing all the problems I'd had with Home Depot. He didn't reply. This week I made an appointment for the repair of a dishwasher, which won't drain. The appointment was for "between 12 and 4 PM". I got a call from the serviceman, saying I had an appoint between 9 AM and 12 PM to repair a "dispenser." He called me later, saying he couldn't do the job; because he had a bad back.

    The next day I got a recorded call from Home Depot, telling me they were happy to inform me that my dishwasher had been repaired, everything had been thoroughly checked and was fine. I called the same number as before to make another appointment and had to go through another hour of frustration, while they tried to find the original one. Even though the recording answered as "Home Depot", the agent said I was talking to GE. After another call to the local Home Depot, which was another ordeal, Tammy called and said they'd made another appointment. We'll see.

    After another 15 minutes, I asked another cashier at the same register for someone to come forward to clean up the spill. He said the cleaning crew had left for the day. He did not care and just stood against the register counter with his armed crossed. Wow! Then the couple just took off, letting cars drive through a pool of paint.

    I purchased a Maytag with Steam Top of the Line Washer from Home Depot Simi Valley (October 02, 2016) with the proviso that Home Depot will install the catcher pan, as part of the installation. I purchased the washer through the salesperson named Perdomo (not sure of the exact name but around this name at Simi Valley Home Depo Washer Appliance Department). He certainly assured me (verbally and with my wife present) that the delivery/installer person will install the new pan (since this is a new washer) as part of the purchase and even sold me all the parts (the pan and the small pipe to be given to the installer upon delivery). From this negotiation, I decided to purchase the $750 dollars washer believing that it will be installed without any issue at all.

    I waited for a week. On the day of the installation last Saturday, a very rude delivery person entered my home and said, "No! I am NOT installing your catcher pan. It's not part of my job!" I called the manager of the Home Depot in Simi Valley where I bought the washer and she also said that they will NOT install the pan as stated by the delivery/installer person due to liabilities.

    The manager even sarcastically commented, "If you should have been nice to the delivery person, they would have installed it for you." I then said, "When the installer came, I just politely asked him to please make sure that that pan is correctly installed since it's a new washer." I am truly disappointed that Home Depot of Simi Valley treat their customers like this. I notified this location that I PLAN TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS FOR THEIR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THIS CONTRACT. Had I known that Home Depot did not install the pan, I would have gone to another store that does.

Worse part is I finally got my local store manager to make a call on my behalf (which I should not have had to beg for) and he says they told him the part was being sent directly to repair company. Nope I go home and it's sitting at my front door. I had to make all the calls to coordinate service myself only the have them say the CLAIM was now closed??? Like WTF is wrong with these people.

Worse, the online system waited until the following day to do so and did it without any explanation at all. Each and every Home Depot person I dealt with was polite, and helpful, and friendly and tried to resolve the problem, but their hands were tied by what must be a terrible back office I.T. system. Frankly, Home Depot seems to have enough money to create mobile apps, but if my experience is any indication, their back-end online I.T. system will screw up the benefits. How about this Home Depot? Fix your back-office online system so you don't make your current customers angry enough to choose someone else, permanently?

    I even went so far as to ask the online Home Depot department to contact the vendor and told them I would buy the damaged unit if they would still honor the warranty. (They sent me an email saying they would honor the warranty) BUT, the online system would NOT let the local store either cancel the return OR allow me to just flat out buy the pressure tank again, because the local store didn't really "own" the tank. Hours and hours later, and after stumbling onto this site, it looks like I'm not the only one who is having significant trouble with their online systems. Over the years we've purchased thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of stuff from other online biz operations and haven't ever experienced this level of stupid. It's 2016 Home Depot.

Received call on 10/4/16 @ 7:30 pm that delivery would be delayed that night by 45 mins but it would be delivered. 10/5/16 (1-day late) confirmed @ 3:30 pm via ph call to HD.com that "indeed" freezer was delivered to my local HD store. Went to store at 6:30 pm but they cannot find freezer. Store blamed.com, .com blamed delivery company. Round and round we went many LONG on-hold segments to find out they lied. Freezer NEVER LEFT WAREHOUSE. They agreed to expedite my order and deliver on 10/12/16. EXPEDITE is not 2 weeks later. Home Depot does not care about customer. P. S. Lowe's delivered next day. They get it.

    Home Depot provided me with a great customer experience. After leaving another home-improvement store, where there were no clerks on the sales floor and not finding what I needed, I went across the street to Home Depot. Home Depot was not as "fancy"' but the level of customer service was vastly superior. I did not have to search for an associate; Darrel came to the aisle and asked if I needed any help. He was extremely aware of the qualities of various fluorescent tube lights and guided me to exactly what I was looking for. Darrel is a warm, sincere associate and takes pride in customer satisfaction. I talked with Store Manager Heather about the amazing service I received, and she was very appreciative. A great customer experience!

    After purchasing a Maytag Bravo top load washer and the "Home Depot product protection plan" washer stopped working on a Thursday August 22. I called Maytag on Friday August 23rd but they told me it was under Home Depot protection plan and they used their own people. So I called their PP # and instantly it was set up for scheduled service on Monday September 26th. So I took off of work. On that Monday waiting for service received automated call at 10:25 am that service company on way and that I could track them on link they sent me on E-mail which I never received. So I waited and waited. One hour and 40 minutes later I thought I should call and see if they had gotten lost. Service person on phone asked was I having same problem. I said yes and ask why should it be fixed. No one had showed up. Their response was the service man had come and gone. I explained that no one has shown up.

    The person on other line said yes he has already left area. Again told her no one showed up, then request who and where I was speaking to. In response said, "I am in Columbia". With me saying Columbia MS. They said no Columbia South America. HUH like they knew what was going on in South Louisiana. Called HDPP. Again they of course stated they were sorry and that they could send another company out to service but on Wednesday September 28th. OK another day need to take off of work to wait no work don't get paid. On Wednesday September the 28th called they company. They gave me 4 times until answered. Asked about what time. Was told that they did not receive the work order yet and they did not have any available service person to cover until the following week on Tuesday October 4th. So scheduled again.

    Went to Home Depot where washer purchased with complaint. They could not speed up process and offer me laundry detergent and trash bags to help out. I stated what good is detergent without a washer to use it? So on way home HDPP phoned me and had set up a different company that would come out on Monday. OK so now it is Monday October 3rd. Have been unable to reach service company all day. Left three messages and the HDPP left one hint. Day three taken off without pay. No service as of this date.

    Well if I was smart I would have just trashed the washer worked the three days and purchased a new washer and dryer from a reputable appliance store which carries their own service personnel. Just for the record when I first contacted Maytag the representative told me do not purchase extended plans through Home Depot but purchase appliance. Call the product line and purchase extended warranty direct. They have a 24 hour service turn around on their warranty service.

    Well, I've often wondered who works in the Home Depot Mail order warehouse. I strongly suspect it's got to be a barrel of monkeys! What human being in their right mind would pull a box off of the shelf, wrap it in clear tape and ship it. I ordered a motion activated 3 light security fixture for my home (and had it shipped to my place of employment) and a fellow employee ordered the same for delivery to his home. All in all, 5 were ordered and 4 were delivered with damaged packaging. I'm going to try my fixture to see if it works, my buddy is going to return 3 out of the 4 he ordered. Who decides how to package these things for shipment? They could learn something from Amazon about packaging!

    I had Home Depot put attic insulation in my home. I was on a time deadline because I was handing my house over to tenants. Even though I was quoted a price that was $1800.00 higher than the next highest quote I had gotten (from a no name company), I went with Home Depot because I wanted to make sure things were done well and on time. I thought the Home Depot name meant something. I was sadly disappointed. The people did not show up on the day scheduled. I called Home Depot many times that day and was promised they would show up for sure at first. As the hours went by, they finally said they did not know why the contractor did not show and did not know when they could have someone out again. I called and called and called to get them to reschedule it.

    I was also promised a credit toward my account for the problems this no show caused me. It's two months and many calls later to regional manager, district manager, or whatever important titles they give themselves, only to be given more promises and having nothing delivered. Can you say sleazy car salesmen? It is disgusting the way these people behave. And, to top things off, the attic insulation had no impact on what they told me would resolve my problem - that the upstairs air conditioner unit was not able to cool the upstairs of the house. After all that money and hassle, they now tell me my problem is my windows. After how they dealt with me, and reading all the reviews about how they messed up other people's windows issues, I sure won't be using Home Depot for anything ever again.

    Same results as all the other reviews. Have been without a dryer for a month. Called Home Depot and they sent a "tech". This kid ordered a part. No surprise, it didn't fix it. Said he had to order another part. Never heard back. Called the local service company to get status and was told the part was on back order due "tomorrow." Tomorrow came and went and the week came and went and no part, no tech, no phone call. Called the local service company again and was told the part was on back order. No ETA.

    Called Home Depot extended warranty back and was told the part had been ordered and was not showing as being back ordered and I would just have to wait. It's been a month, have spent over 200 dollars at the laundromat, would have been better off spending that towards a new dryer. Forget the extended warranty. Self insure. At least this way you know if your unit breaks you are out of luck. Better than having a warranty that is worthless. Note, have had similar luck with the Home Depot extended warranty in the past. Shame on me for trying it again. Lowe's, here I come.

    I order windows, and tools from Home Depot. Went to many different stores. People in the departments are not helpful and do it all wrong. The standard way is to use the window's openings dimension and subtract 0.5 inch from it. The guy instead added 0.5 inch to many of them randomly!!! The Simonton daylight max windows are not constructed symmetrically either. Frame on one side is thicker than on other side and there is only a very small sketch of it! The guy and all other people did not know and all they wanted me to do is to sign the papers purchasing it which include all legal responsibility buyers have to bear after signing it! Good thing I caught it late at night afterward and went thru the frenzy process of correcting it line by line next day.

    I also order the screw driver for this. They advertised that I will come to the store between the 16th and 18th. After order placed, now they claim it will be in on the 23rd, a full 7 days later. Meantime, my windows are all removed and the whole house exposed to the cold raining weather that nothing I can do when the windows come before the tools due to Home Depot falsely advertises delivery date.

I later followed up with a chat session and was again told that it was cancelled. They did not cancel the order and now two items are being delivered. This company provides no mechanism to cancel an online order. You have to call or chat and they do nothing to actually cancel the order. This seems very deceptive given that they trick you into putting items in the cart and then structure their website to trap you into the sale.

    I just wrote this morning about my bad experience at Home Depot. Well, they fixed it today. They contacted me and did what was needed to make it right. I am a very satisfied customer.

    Original Review: Sept. 16, 2016

    I went to Home Depot on 09/08/2016. I found a grill I liked and sought out assistance. They told me the crew that assembles the grills has already left but they would be back next Thursday. I had to pay in advance and sign documents stating I understood their pick up policy (too bad they didn't understand their pick up policy). Exactly one week later on 09/15/2016 I go back to the store to pick up my grill. The employees start looking for it, but they cannot find it. I end up waiting around for an hour but they never find it. They pull one out thinking it was mine but it was actually a higher end model. During all of this I overhear that they think a manager grabbed my grill and donated it for a local raffle. The employee tells me that for all of my trouble they will let me upgrade by $50.00 to a new grill. Keep in mind, the grill I bought is now out of stock.

    Well we walk outside and the grills are either $10.00-$20.00 higher than mine, or $100.00 higher than mine. I do not want to get a mere $20.00 higher grill when it has been outside and is damaged. So I just say "Give me my money back." They say okay, and on the way back in I inquire about the grill they almost gave me earlier. They said it was too expensive. It was in fact over $100.00 higher than the one I purchased. So basically, no, I can't have that one. Here is the thing, in order to get my money back, I had to sign a paper saying I received my grill and I wanted to return it. This was incorrect because I never received my grill, but that is what I did.

    If they had given me the higher end model grill, I was going to spend another $300.00 there (easily) that same day because I came to do some more shopping. I would have left a very happy customer despite THEIR mistake. Instead I am left without a grill and all of the supplies I was going to buy that day. Today I will be going to a locally owned store to complete my purchase. It may cost more (then again it may not) but I know they will fix their mistakes. I know my business going elsewhere will have zero impact on this big company, but I want to be able to trust the people I am doing business with. If you mess up, make it right.

    I went into a store to return items that I did not need for my home improvement project and the return was declined. As per Home Depot's return policy online it states that "Returns made without a valid sales receipt may be refunded as a Store Credit at the lowest advertised price". There is not any place on the return policy that states that the return can be declined.

    This is my first time returning anything to Home Depot and I have purchased many items from them in the past. I was handed a receipt and told I had to call a number to see why it was declined. The operator said I needed to have the original receipt to return the items. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on a waiting list for 24 to 48 hours. Luckily for them I lost the receipt due to rain in the parking lot. This is the worst experience I have encountered at any retail store.

    I would love to be contacted by a lawyer to find out what my recourse is here. I purchased a brand new, stacked washer dryer from Home Depot's website and took delivery of the item on 9/2/16. At the time of delivery, it was clear that the unit did not fit well into the space and we openly discussed a possible return in front of the delivery driver. NEVER was it ever mentioned that I had only 48 hours to make that return before Home Depot basically says, "Too bad for you, it's not our problem". Literally, not a word was uttered about the policy and since that policy is so ludicrous, I mistakenly assumed I'd have at least 30 days to decide. There is nothing wrong with the unit, other than it just doesn't quite fit. It's never been used and the local store manager absolutely won't accept it back EVEN WHEN WE EXPLAINED THAT WE WANTED TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT W/D AT THE SAME PRICE POINT.

    I was told by Homedepot.com customer service that "the store does not want to restock the item because it hurts their bottom line." I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on a home renovation project-- mostly through Lowe's thank God-- and these people have the nerve to tell me that my even exchange would hurt their bottom line. I will be reaching out to my lawyer, and I welcome anyone who has had the similar unfortunate fate to follow suit. I will never spend a penny there again.

    Avoid Home Depot unless you got too much time to waste in your life. The Home Depot is absolutely the worst company that I ever deal with; specifically for their online order process for company of their scale. Home depot's employee and its internal processes are not ready for the online presence. I placed an online order on August 30, 2016. It included two items with store pick up option: a lawn mower and a 3 years protection plan. Simple right? Not for the defunct Home Depot! This order ended up to waste me so much time that it literally took 9 days and 3 phone calls with different home depot representative, and it end up with a cancelled order; all because the home depot cannot deliver the lawn mower they sell in their website, and their employee is very poorly trained.

    Details Recount Below: August 30, 2016, Order ** placed. It includes a lawn mower and a $130 worth of protection plan for this lawn mower. September 1, 2016, I received a confirmation from Home Depot that $130 protection plan is ready to ship but the lawn mower charge is declined (FICO over 800). So I call my credit card company trying to find out why it's declined? My credit card company said it seems like the two items charged on the same transaction seem to be charged from two different location and that is why they are suspecting it's not a legit transaction. I told them it is legit and my credit card company cleared all hold on transaction from Home Depot. And they are expecting a charge from Home Depot.

    Next I contacted Home Depot. The representative explained the potential cause. Protection plan needs no source of origin, but the lawn mower does has one. Especially when they are doing the inventory check the origin of the charge could be the one that triggers the warning at the credit company; since one charge has no origin, another has. On top of it it's a $1 charge for inventory checks. Okay, so I am good customer and I really want my lawn mower and protection on time. Even though this kind of details really shouldn't be the weight for the customer, my needs is driving me at this moment. How do we proceed? The Home Depot representative recommended me to give him my credit card info so he can submit a new order for me. And since it's causing customer so much trouble, he can put in an discount on the order to ensure customer satisfaction. We ended up with a 10% discount just on the lawn mower.

    So, a separate order ** was submitted by Home Depot employee. Confirmation received thru email. Also part of the previous order was cancelled, and cancellation confirmation received. (Protection plan remain on previous order, but the lawn mower is removed from the previous one). So we have an order number ** that contains only protection plan, and another order that contains only the lawn mower with 10% off. You figure this is a happy ending right? Unfortunately, not for this defunct Home Depot!

    September 3, 2016. Home Depot sent an email indicated that the ** order is cancelled with absolutely no explanation. September 5, 2016 at around 5:20 pm PST. When I find out the order is cancelled again, I called in and try to understand if there is any mistake. This time, this Home Depot employee is just a total joke. She has no idea on what the problem is and neither does she has any intention to resolve the issue. She just said their internal system shows no reason for cancellation, therefore it must be the credit card company. I asked her, "If it's the credit card company issue, why is the cancellation took 2 days to generate." If it's a credit card issue, shouldn't it be declined right on day 0 when the Home Depot employee entered my credit card info? In addition, why is there no cancellation reasoning indicated in your system?

    The previous cancellation clearly indicated authorization decline when the alarm was triggered by the inventory check. She has no idea and just play dumb. NO suggestion or resolution provided from Home Depot. Given the demonstration of her ability to handle this situation, we ended up in canceling the Protection warranty included in **. After all, a protection plan on a phantom mower makes absolutely no sense. Got a confirmation number verbally from this liar: **. And this Home Depot employee said I will receive the confirmation notice within 4 hours. The charge for the protection plan will be gone. All good? Nope! September 7, 2016 Checked my email, looking for cancellation email that the Home Depot employee mentioned. Not a thing from Home Depot about the cancellation of the protection plan. Check my credit card online, the charge of this protection plan is still recorded since September 1, 2016.

    So I called Home Depot again, this time, this another Home Depot representative (3rd one) tried to downplay it and say all is cancelled. But I tell her I didn't receive it in email regarding to the cancellation of the protection plan; the email only indicated that the lawn mower is cancelled. She tried to dodge the ball by saying it will typically take at most 5 days to see the credit on my card. I tell her, it has been 6 days. After getting frustrated with Home Depot, she said she is gonna transfer me to their resolution team. Went off the phone and come back. This same Home Depot employee told me I have just cancelled the protection plan (never talked to the resolution team). And boom, the cancellation email is in my email inbox. By now, we should be all good, right? Nope. Upon realizing that her BS didn't work, their system failed, this representative just drop the phone and phone went the automated survey.

    Conclusion: For your own good, avoid any online order from Home Depot. Unless you enjoy to go through what's mentioned above. The Home Depot's internal process, system, and employee are not ready for it. I need a lawn mower, I ordered it online and expected it be delivered. It ended up with draining the precious time, and I have to deal with unprofessional employee who does not know how to do their job. I am no longer interested in buying anything from Home Depot because of this experience.

    The things that went wrong is not just one depart or one group within Home Depot. Come on, one simple online order, but it took Home Depot 4 days to realize they cannot deliver, and their employee don't even know why it cannot be delivered. It is alright to admit that they don't know, but lying straight up to the customer even they are presented with the sound data and info? Side Note: my bad for the lengthy venting. In year 2016, this kind of online shopping experience is just really surprising.

When Chris **, from kitchens, was available he barked at us that this wasn't his responsibility, he had customers waiting, and just walked right past us. I went to the front of the store and had a lovely gal named "Pat" walk all the way back to us after a manager was called and never showed up. Although she tried to help, she had no product knowledge and couldn't answer any questions.

    After being there for 35 minutes and getting nowhere, we left and bought the dishwasher for $52 more at PC Richards.

I told the contractor what all I was going to do to my kitchen, he said that he can do it all, kitchen counter/cabinets, removal of tile flooring, put new tile down. Contractor said that he would send me an itemized bill on what everything would cost me within my budget. I said that sounds great, contractor said that he would email my his plan on Sunday or Monday.

    I purchased a GE kitchen stove 3 years ago and within a few months the oven stopped working. I called Home Depot to schedule an appointment to service the appliance. It required me or someone else be home for 9 hours - from 8 AM - 9 PM. They don't have the ability to schedule a morning or afternoon service call? This time a man did come and replace a sensor, the faulty part. This was a good transaction.

    A month ago the same problem happened. I called HD, chose a day, and had someone wait in the apartment. At 4 pm I got a call from the tech guy, asking me what was wrong (?). I'd already given that info to HD, but I told him it looks like the same sensor problem. "Oh, I don't have that part, you'll have to reschedule." OK. I rescheduled for the following week, Wednesday, which is today.

    At three o'clock, being locked to my apartment, I called the number I'd been given to confirm the appointment. Got a voice service that couldn't find either of my phone #s, I called a different # same thing. Waited for a live person, after 15 min., was told "Oh, you're in the wrong department, we handle purchases, let me connect you to the right department." Waiting on hold, waiting on hold, waiting on hold. I hear a sound, turn off the speaker feature, put the phone to my ear and heard a man, barely intelligible, talking rapid fire about "5AM", then he hung up. This brings me to the present, waiting for a service person to show up within the next hour, will that happen?

    I forgot to mention, yesterday a box with a sensor arrived on my porch, no note, comment, explanation... This disorganized, outsourced MO, creates pure chaos, infuriating. But there is nothing to do but stew. And swear at the phone, the screen, they don't give a "cares". I swear will never buy an appliance from Home Depot again!!

    I went the the store looking for a plant. I went last week and purchased 2 beautiful peace lilies they had just come in. This week I went back to another if they were still there, and the plants were terrible. They had not been watered and had dead leaves and were wilting. I saw a lady in a purple tee shirt I ask her for a manager. She ask what for I told I felt like I should not pay the same price for these plant. I wanted a discount on the plant. I paid regular price last week for 2 beautiful plants. I didn't think I should pay the same for this half-dead looking plant which was 19.99.

    She refused call a manager and said "These are our plant" and he can't discount it and walk away. I went to another employee wearing orange vest and ask if he can call the manager he did and the manager gave me a 10.00 discount. I went back to the greenhouse so I could of course water the plant before I left the store so I saw the same women in the greenhouse and ask her for some water. She ask, "Did he discount it?" I said yes. She called me a piece of work, and said "I hope you get water all over your car."

    I went and got the manager took him to her and ask her to repeat what she said to me to him she did. There was some more conversation but this employee was not reprimanded for disrespect and rudeness to a Home Depot customer. The manager said he would call her area manager. I did not feel confident that this happen. I feel she should have been pulled off the floor and taken to the office and her company called. I purchase a lot of plant from Home Depot and will take me business somewhere else. I will not spend my money and be disrespected by store employee or their vendors.

    Please be aware and DON'T order any installation from Home Depot, or you are for a nasty surprise!!! We requested new quartz countertops for our new kitchen which cost us almost $3000. After 3 weeks they showed up with the wrong size and had to reorder them. We explained that we haven't had kitchen sink for 5 weeks now and "Can you at least hook up our sink and faucet temporarily?" and after many many calls and discussions they finally agreed to do so. However, after 6 days now, and calling numerous times to follow up on the status of this plumbing and why no one called us for an appointment or come to hook up our sink, I got Home Depot's installation phone number and found out that they had my phone number wrong (Can you believe that???). I mean, a big company like Home Depot has lost its communication link to get the right phone number.

    Now they say, "oh, ok now someone will call you to set up an appointment", what the **? Someone call us to make an appointment for God knows when! When I called back their Project Support Center and finally talked to a person in charge, he says, "It is impossible for our installation dept. or anyone who has access to your file to have the wrong phone number." SO, someone is being dishonest with us and giving us runaround. THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH AN INSTALLATION! We've been washing our dishes in our bathtub for all this time and obviously they don't care.

    It seems like Home Depot's goal is to see how many customers they can piss off and stay in business. I have shopped many times at both Home Depot and Lowe's. Almost every other time I go to Home Depot they do something to piss me off so bad. It almost seems if you asked an employee about customer service at Home Depot they would be like, what is customer service, I have never heard that word.

    First off, if you want a cart for supplies you have to march your ass outside to get one, they will not keep them inside. One reason I love Lowe's better is you walk to building supplies and there are carts right there ready for you to load. One time I went to Home Depot I looked all over for an employee, finally I found two, and walked right up to them and stood right by them waiting for help, but they kept talking and just ignored me. Their conversation was more important than helping a customer.

    Next time I went to Home Depot I got five bags of paver sand and five bags of paver mix. When I went up to pay, she wanted me to unload all ten bags so she could make sure they were rang them up right, even though you can see in the bags. The very next time I went in after that, I bought a light cover. It did not have a bar code on it, and she wanted me the customer to walk all the way back to the back of the store to get the item number for her instead of calling someone.

    The final straw was I went to rent an Aerator from Home Depot, reminder it is a machine that go deep into the ground. The ground was wet that day, so it got pretty muddy. I cleaned it for 15 minutes and made it pretty decent. But when I took it back, the things that go into the ground still had some dirt in them, and he said if he had to clean it out he would have the charge be $25 dollars. So I had to take it outside and clean it even better. If they are going to complain about bringing back a machine that goes deep into the ground being a little dirty, then they should not be renting them.

    I so done, can not handle their horrible customer service. I will never set foot into a Home Depot for as long as I live. Lowe's has almost never pissed me off. Always friendly and willing to help, not mention better deals like their 10% coupon codes and they have crazy cheap clearance at Lowe's.

    Home Depot has awful appliance delivery service. They made our life so tough after purchasing the appliances from them. We bought new construction townhomes which does not include refrigerator. We bought refrigerator from Home Depot and scheduled them to be delivered after 7days of purchases. On the day of delivery, no one called until 3pm. Then we called the Home Depot to inquire why no call from the delivery service. We were told that delivery folks came around 2pm and were looking for glass window. Staff from Home Depot asking "ma'am do you have glass window in your door?"

    That doesn't make any sense. We have given our contact number and the address. We did not receive a single call from them. We had to call Home Depot delivery service 2 times and waited for so long, then finally asked us to reschedule the delivery. We were so frustrated by their response. First of all, that was lie. No one called us. But kept saying they called x2. Vert frustrating. They will lose the good customer.

    I am a landlord, and I went through Home Depot for the delivery of a new refrigerator. I paid for the removal of the old refrigerator. Fast forward 2 months, and the tenant moved out. Imagine my surprise when I found the old refrigerator sitting on the porch. I called home depot back and I was told that they were instructed to leave it on the porch. I imagine that the tenant was intending to sell the old one for a little cash. Well, the tenant isn't authorized to make those decisions. Dealing with separate owners and tenants can be confusing, so I have some understanding that mistakes can be made. The reason I am filing this complaint is that their customer service refused to make it right. I expected Home Depot to fulfill my original order and remove it as I had originally requested, but I was told that it was past some 30 day window. Well, that's fine. Next time I'll order from Lowe's as Home Depot doesn't seem to believe in customer service.

    My oven wasn't working properly so we decided to get a new GE wall oven and microwave for the July 4th sale. We went to the store and told the associate that we needed a wall oven and a matching WALL microwave. We gave him the size of the oven (30") and told him that the microwave is 30 inches including the trim kit. He "helped" us by choosing on their big swipe screen the right oven and said that we can just get a 30 inch microwave. We agreed and paid for both and left. He also told us that installation is free but they won't do any cabinet adjustment. We were to receive all this after 2 weeks of buying. We went home and called a carpenter to come out and cut the cabinet to fit the microwave that we bought. And yes, we looked at the exact specifications on GE's website for that model.

    Come delivery day, the guys brought the massive oven box and microwave and we thought that finally we will be able to use an oven. But they also said that the microwave is the wrong model (chosen by the associate) and can only go on top of the cook top. We declined to keep the microwave and they said that they don't do installations and left us with the HUGE oven box in the kitchen. I called Home Depot multiple times over the week and bounced around from one person to another and explaining the situation from the beginning each time.

    Finally Kim, who has been the most helpful, said that she will talk to the manager and let me know. Again after days of calling I was told that they do not have a microwave that will fit the cut out in the cabinet but they have a very pricey convection/microwave oven that will fit. This product had a discount on it but I still had to shell out another $300 to buy the second Convection/Microwave oven. They said however that they will pay for the installation (which we were told initially was free).

    Again after 2 weeks of waiting and calling, they sent a person to measure. After that the installers called me to confirm a date and time. Our assumption was that since they had "measured" they would know the size of the cutout. And the person I spoke to also said that if it's not flush, they will use a trim kit. They finally arrived with the 2nd microwave and installed the oven and the microwave. In the process they dropped and broke the glass tray for the new microwave so we are unable to use it. They also left gaps on both sides of the microwave and did not anchor it anywhere so you can pretty much move it.

    I have been trying to reach Yolanda (who apparently is the person to handle all this) but to no avail. I have left multiple messages for her and haven't received a call back. In the meantime there is no manager taking responsibility for this situation. I had talked to Jonathan few weeks back but they say that he quit HD. Since then I have talked to Horace and Tanisha (they said they were managers) and they too have been sending me off to different numbers and I'm constantly on hold. I have wasted around 20 hours at least over the course of the month. I now have a working oven but no working microwave.

    Yesterday a Home Depot claims person called from an 800 number asking me to exactly how the glass plate broke. I referred him back to the installers and haven't heard back since. I want a new glass plate and our cabinets fixed so there isn't a gap. I'm so frustrated that I don't even know who to reach at Home Depot to solve this issue once for all.

    For ten years I have planned this project to get my master bath, partially redo my guest bath and replace the floors of the foyer and both baths and I picked Marazzi tile at Home Depot, which, I might add, was one of their most expensive tiles. My contractor got as far as the master bath, the first phase of the project. He used Pebble mosaic Marazzi tile which was on backing and he had to take them back up. Some of the tiles on the backing were closer together than other tiles which would make the grout thinner in some places than others. Some of the tiles (that were supposed to be the same width and were butted end to end) were different widths. The tiles are a total mess.

    I am going to have to pay my contractor for his time to put the defective tiles down and taking them back up and this has put the entire project on hold (gutted master bath, sticky Visqueen on my carpet, paper on my hardwood floor and construction stuff in every room of my house) for an extra week and a half while the new tile I had to pick out comes in and the contractor can find tile again in his rearranged schedule to finish my project. I timed it so it would be done before company got here but that isn't going to happen. My master bath should have been done last week and my guest bath done today but I am dead in the water with still a gutted master bath. And it looks like I will have to file in Small Claims court to get back the extra money I will have to pay to my contractor because Home Depot and Marazzi tile are passing me back and forth saying the other one should pay. DON'T BUY HOME DEPOT PRODUCTS OR ANY TILE FROM MARAZZI.

    I bought 2k worth of items on the Home Depot website. There was an option to pick up the items in the store on the same day. Placed my order and was called a few hours later by an employee saying they didn't have one of the items. They offered a refund or that they had a more expensive option. I was happy to pay for the upgrade and told them so. I went to the store before close that day and was told that my order wasn't ready yet. Called the next day, order still incomplete. I mentioned the missing elbow and was told that the order was still showing up incomplete so they couldn't release it to me.

    3rd day I didn't have time to call or deal with them. Day 4 I go to the store and waste 2 hours while an employee called their boss and the tech department to try to figure out why it wouldn't let them delete that item. The employee was really nice and warned me that their system was awful and that this happens a lot. I felt bad that the in-store employees are getting screwed over by corporate.

    Until this point I was happy to upgrade, but after being messed with for so long I decided I just wanted a refund and didn't want to spend any more money with Home Depot. After the 2-hour wait an employee offered to help me load the items they did have into my truck while the other employee tried to get the refund to go through. 20 more minutes to get it all loaded and then 10 more minutes waiting in line to get the refund only to be told that they wouldn't be able to give me one until the online orders that I had shipped to my home had arrived and cleared out of the system.

    On the store console it appeared that I owed $850 that I had already paid and until the online site had cleared it they couldn't offer me a refund. At this point I expected to be offered the higher priced item in exchange for all the bs they had put me through, but no. All they were able to do is offer me the 2 page equivalent of an IOU.

    I run a small business and all I can be appreciative of is the fact that this wasn't for a customer because I would have lost the account. Now I've just checked the tracking for all the items that were being shipped to my home and 2 of them are delayed an entire week from the shipping time that was on the website. I usually don't mind waiting for online orders, but don't advertise for something you can't do.

    Between my business and my home I have spent well over 10k this year alone at Home Depot and after all of this I just can't see myself going back to buy another item. I'll drive the extra 20 minutes to shop at Lowe's or just start ordering everything off Amazon like everyone else seems to do these days. With earnings of a reported $7 billion you would think Home Depot would be able to afford a website that actually works. They know it's a problem and just don't care about screwing over the customer.

So they left the dishwasher in the garage and will come back to install it once the valve is replaced.

A lot of dents and parts were damaged to a point they were unable to do installation. Call Home Depot to find out they only take care of the damage if reported within 48 hours.

    Now I've to go through manufacturer to have a repair on a dishwasher that just bought from Home Depot and it is an expensive one. So don't take the risk of getting this type of issue. Go to other stores with better policy and better service. Maybe it is a little cheaper to get the same thing from Home Depot, but it is not worth to save this money because it might cost you more. Pretty much the dishwasher I bought that costs me 600 is wasted because even if it can be repaired, the dents won't go away and it might easily break again in the near future. I can't imagine I'm paying $600 for a brand new dishwasher, but the thing I'm getting is worse than a refurbished one.

We bought new construction townhomes which does not include refrigerator, washing machine and dryer. We then bought these appliances from Home Depot and scheduled them to be delivered after 20 days of purchases. On the day of delivery, 2 guys came and told us that they cannot move the refrigerator since we didn't tell them ahead that we are living in townhome and they don't have the belt or tool to lift the refrigerator. They told us to reschedule the delivery and left. We had to call Home Depot delivery service many times and waited for so long, then finally scheduled second delivery.

    The second delivery was late and they could not find our home. The driver insisted that I should wait for them at nearby gas station while I am 8 and half month pregnant. I refused, but somehow they found our home eventually. This time they said the washer was not in warehouse, they only have the refrigerator and dryer. I only accepted refrigerator and re-scheduled again the rest of appliances to be delivered after a week.

    However, on the next day, while at work, I was suddenly told the delivery staff is waiting at my door to deliver washer. They didn't even call me ahead to let me know this! This time, they only brought the washer but nothing else. Three big tall guys insisted that I have to accept the washer. They kept blaming me that it's my fault that I didn't accept the dryer the day before. NO ONE told me that these people will show up at my door like this!

    Saturday, May 28th, I stopped in Home Depot to purchase a new lawn tractor. I had already done my homework and knew the exact model, and what everyone near me was selling it for. Tractor Supply has the same tractor in a print ad marked $1799. Home Depot's price was $1999, so I took a copy of the Tractor Supply ad into Home Depot to get their Price Match Guarantee (price match + 10%) which would have lowered the price even more. The Home Depot associate at the Customer Service desk said they do not honor another company's SALE price, just their regular price and refused. I ended up buying the lawn tractor, a multi-purpose weed eater, loading ramps, and a few small items from Tractor Supply that day. On top of that, Tractor Supply pulled the tractor out of a crate and assembled it for me, where Home Depot's were sitting out in the parking lot in the weather. Tractor Supply earned my business. Home Depot blew me off.

    When I registered a complaint on the Home Depot website, they verified my claim and agreed that they should have price matched. Their response was to send a $75 gift card. A far cry from the $300 I should have gotten if they honored their guarantee. Over the years, I've spent many thousands of dollars at Home Depot, and even carried their credit card for years. They lost a loyal customer over $300. Lowe's, Tractor Supply, and ACE Hardware are just down the street and provide much better service.

Tracking stated delivery date of August 2nd. When my order did not arrive as stated I checked the tracking number. Home Depot did not ship my order on July 29. Order was shipped on August 1st. The first issue is their lying customer dis-service personnel. The representative and his "supervisor" both did their best to try and convince me the problem was caused by the shipping carrier! The e-mails Home Depot sent me clearly shows they caused the problem - not the shipping carrier.

    The second issue is I had to drive over 150 miles to pick up the needed item. Item was not available locally. Based on research I thought Home Depot had a great price and offered a fast delivery time. Both turned out to be a lie.

As the operator removed the forks from the load the truck horn began to blow like an alarm. The fork operator then yelled turn the key on and put truck in "drive". I did and it stopped. Upon arrival to my destination the load was shifted to the rear of the truck and at that time a weld on the rear gate support broke. (One 3 inch weld and a 5 inch 90 degree inside gusset.) I was able to raise the gate and latch it with no problem. A simple aluminum weld job and one gusset to put the truck back in service. RIGHT?

    I unloaded and returned the truck, advising at that time of the weld failure caused by the OVERLOADED CONDITION; By the HOME DEPOT EMPLOYEES. The rental dude observed the broken weld and took the truck out of service. Handed me a receipt and I left. 5 weeks later I receive a bill from HOME DEPOT for $5,518! So they receive a rating of 0. They (HD employees) overload their own truck and now demand me to pay for a whole new bed! Do not rent and DO NOT BUY FROM THE HOME DEPOT!

    I decided to rent a floor scraper machine for a vinyl from. I went to the East Port Richey, Florida Home Depot where I was served by a counter employee who rented me a small hand pushed machine. He stated he would give me instructions on how to use it and charged me a deposit of $100 for the rental. When I got home with the machine it did not work to remove the vinyl. The blade was dull and it did absolutely no removing of vinyl floor whatsoever. In fact, this machine was useless for vinyl floor removal. I called the store a little upset for wasting time and money and asked to speak to a supervisor regarding the return of the machine and renting a bigger one for the same rate since that machine did nothing.

    The manager approved of this and I returned the first machine and rented another larger and heavy scraper which was loaded onto a pick up truck by the counter guy who stated he would give me instructions on how to use it, which he didn't same as with the first machine. I got home, unloaded this larger scraper machine from the pickup truck with difficulty because it was very heavy and hard to maneuver. I finally got it on the vinyl floor while preparing to plug it I noticed the black electric cable to the machine had a cut in it. I called the manager and asked if it would be ok to use it with the cut in the wire and if this would put me at risk of shocking myself.

    He asked me to wrap it with black tape or painters tape and still use it and it did nothing either. It did not removing anything or even scrape the surface of the floor. So, I tried reloading it after calling the tool rental desk and stating it was on its way back because it did not work. Meanwhile the supervisor had told me he would talk to the manager at the tool rental desk about renting dull tools and tools with cut electrical wire and to be more careful. When I tried loading this heavy machine back onto the pick up truck via the ramp they provided I was not able to pull it up by any means. I stood below the ramps and pulled it up with my arm instead of my entire body being and finally got it up there. But I exhausted myself so much I did not feel well after this.

    So I drove back to the Home Depot store on Little Road in New Port Richey, FL and went in the tool rental desk are after parking my truck to an adjacent wall by the entry door to the desk. I told the unsightly overweight female clerk that I had over exerted myself by forcing to put the machine on the truck and did not feel well. She showed no concern whatsoever, so stepped away whispering in another employees ear in front of me. I asked her to get someone to unload the machine from my truck. An employee who I assume was the one who was notified by the supervisor that the tools were not in adequate condition to rent started charging outside ignoring me while I spoke to him. He called the name of another staff member .They both stood on each side of my pick up truck by the side back wheel fender and scratched both sides of my truck as they pulled the machine toward the gate, and unloaded it by lifting it.

    It was initially loaded by another employee who used ramps, but these two guys unloaded it in that manner to maliciously scratch the truck, because I complained about the rental equipment quality and the supervisor was informed. First I want to say that this sort of thing done to a female who is already not feeling well and went through all the trouble of going back and forth with tools that were useless for a job, is quite cowardly. Only criminals and cowards behave this way. Big tough guys huh!! I am very disappointed in knowing that Home Depot employs such people.

    Went to Home Depot on Market Place Dr in Flagstaff AZ to select tile flooring and carpet in June 2016. Employee came for measurements. Paid the bill. No one contacted us again re when material would be delivered or confirm that order was placed. Made several phone calls and several in-person visits. Manager REFUSED to speak with us. Told that material is scheduled to be delivered on a date but not confirmed until several efforts made by myself to set date and time. Spouse took off work for delivery. Wrong tile delivered. Again, very difficult to find someone to assist with obtaining correct tile and having wrong tile picked up. Again, spouse took off work. Was told a time correct tile would be delivered (approx. 1000).

    Received phone call at approx. 0800 that the delivery was at the door. Spouse and I at work so let him know would need to return at 1000. This is the third time that spouse had to take off from work. That day, realized that the wrong color grout was initially delivered as well. Returned that to store. Not enough correct colored grout so ordered that. Multiple efforts made to ascertain when that was to be in store. Eventually told it was at Customer Service. They attempted to charge me for the additional grout. Then, let me leave store with it.

    Tile installation was incredibly professional and competent. This was with a contracted service through Home Depot. However, the est. for materials was grossly inflated. Ended up returning approx. $600 worth of material. Notified by contracted carpet installer of date and time of installation (7/28 at 0800 - 1000). Again, absolutely no communication from Home Depot. Did received text from Home Depot at approx. 0820 on day of scheduled installation stating that materials would be delivered between 1200 and 1600. Phoned spouse who had already taken off from work that the time was changed. I was informed that they were there but the carpet was not measured correctly (too small) and they had to return it and re-order. Have spoken with Erin at Customer Cares a couple of times. Does not return phone calls or follow up with continued delays and errors on the part of Home Depot.

    The services they contract with are exceptional! Grace Customer Service Supervisor at Home Depot in Flagstaff is the ONLY employee at that location who has been productive and followed through with concerns. Honestly? I feel as though I am in a Jerry Seinfeld episode! If we weren't losing money, work time, personal time, and not feeling so frustrated, I would be the first to admit that the gross incompetence and unprofessionalism would be hysterical!

    Buyer beware! Purchased $10,000 worth of flooring and installation from Home Depot and a patio door. From pulling their material crane drop off truck onto our driveway and cracking it, a mismeasure by their "qualified" measuring technician, their poor choice of subcontractors to poor communication between the store and their liaison on the job site, this entire process has been a nightmare! Purchased my flooring at the end of April. Still waiting for a job to be finished. Contractors here today without proper material and work orders to address concerns. Go to a flooring shop who uses their own in-house employees as I'm sure this would ensure you a better finished product.

    Their trusted installer is subcontracting out to other subcontractors. The right hand does not speak to the left hand. Have yet to have proper thresholds installed at any junction in the home. Will never be going back for anything from this location. You get what you pay for in this life. Spend a few extra bucks with a qualified flooring contractor. They also installed a damaged patio door on my home and instead of instructing me at the time of install that there was damage they left it for me to notice after the job was completed. Instead of fixing the door properly they offered a buyout package so they didn't have to come out to fix their shoddy materials and poor workmanship. Don't get ripped off too.

    This product was purchased as a gift and was opened months after it was given. It fell apart after 2 days of use which was quite embarrassing. For a $100 gift, it looked extremely cheap. In researching the product after it fell apart, it seems that most companies are charging a lot less than I paid at Home Depot. I contacted the manufacturer who said that the recommended price was 30% less than what Home Depot had charged. When I contacted Home Depot customer service, I was told the return period had expired and I needed to contact the manufacturer. The overcharging issue was not addressed. Despite the fact that Home Depots are much more convenient where we live, going forward, we will make sure to use Lowe's. In our experiences, they have a much more responsive and caring Customer Service department.

    I purchased 8 solar spot lights from Home Depot on 7/01/16. I just returned 7 of them this morning 7/23/16 without a receipt. The purchase price was $5.88 ea. Six of the lights crapped out within 2 weeks of the purchase. The 7th one still worked but only for about an hour. The woman at the customer service desk belonged in another line of work. She either woke up on the wrong side of the bed or she didn't have a clue or training on the definition of the desk she was standing at. She was rude and was not listening to my plight of the 8 dysfunctional lights. I tolerated her ignorance until she accused me of returning lights that I did not purchase from Home Depot. I attempted patience but I had to ask her about her attitude. I then asked if someone else could help me. I don't know if she was being trained and left on her own prematurely but another employee came to OUR rescue.

    I have spent 35 years of my life in customer service. It can be a very challenging career dealing with the public day in and day out. I am a pretty easy going guy until someone pushes the right buttons in my private life. When dealing with someone in my professional career there can be no buttons, that's why it's title is customer service. I wasn't there looking for a miracle without the receipt just a store credit. I received $11.98 in store credit on a purchase that cost me over $40 plus three weeks prior. The lights were so inadequate they had to drop the price to $1.88 to get rid of them.

    What do they say about hindsight? I say they should have been giving them away if they lacked the quality to be sold under the Home Depot logo. I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me after reading this review. I have good news. The Home Depot isn't the only game in town. I have a Lowe's, in which I will be giving all of my business to in the future. It's cleaner, better quality, friendlier staff I feel better already. Goodbye Home Depot.

    Ryobi and Home Depot are total scams with the Ryobi product line. Ryobi is one of the few companies that still require a receipt be kept all 3 years and won't use the product manufacturer date as a means so they can not honor (SLEAZE OUT OF) their warranty. Their rep on the toll-free said that it was because "If you bought something in 2012 and they replaced it (with another battery that was also poorly constructed so that it wouldn't make its 3 years), that you are SOL."

    I'm sorry, but if you have this crappy of a product where it makes sense to the manufacturer that a person would randomly get 2 products that were so poorly crafted that neither could make the warranty period, you have a quality assurance problem. It's a scam and Home Depot needs to recuse itself from Ryobi products. Stay far away from Ryobi, go with a legitimate manufacturer that has some kind of Quality Assurance program. Ryobi SUCKS!... and because of their association with Ryobi, HOME DEPOT SUCKS!!!

    On April 22, 2016 we purchased materials to build a new 18'x 20' wooden deck spending over $2,800 by the time project was finished. May and June this year were very rainy so we could not stain the deck until it dries out. We purchased pretreated wood (brand name WeatherShield) sold at Home Depot. It was highly recommended by the guys in that department for decks. After waiting 2 months to stain the deck, it is splitting, cracking, warping and worst of all cupping. Walking across the whole deck in boots you can feel the cupping. The boards are so uneven because of this. I contacted Home Depot and they sent a rep from the store - Trina and a rep from the vendor - John. I called once after a week and not hearing anything, if they were going to help me out in any way. Turns out Trina was on vacation. Called again today 7/13/16 and Trina said she would check into it. Called me back and said something about the emails being sent to the wrong box.

    The vendors denied the claim. However Trina said John is overriding the decision to some extent. I wanted 55 16' boards replaced. He in turn would allow 10 boards replaced and 10 balusters replaced, and that was a favor he was doing. The Home Depot where I purchased this material in Aurora, CO (Pioneer Hills) does not even have a store manager. They have a very difficult time keeping them at this location. Customers are passed around to different people when there is a problem and no one seems to be able to answer anything. I called the resolutions department for Home Depot and they gave me a 2 choices - accept the 10/10 or I could file a claim and if I lost that they would not give me the 10/10. I am just sick how this deck turned out. I have spent well over $10,000 between this year and 2015 at Home Depot and this is not how a good customer should be treated. From here on out, any large purchases will be done at Lowe's.

    I purchased carpet on June 21,2016 at a local Home Depot location that I have supported for over 25 years. Carmichael, CA. I was told it would take 10 days for the carpet to be delivered to the installer and the installer would call to make the appointment for installing. I asked what their time frame was for the installation after they received the carpet. I was TOLD 3 TO 5 DAYS AFTER RECEIVE THE CARPET. This worked for me and figured I would be able to have my family move back upstairs mid-July.

    I called on July 5th to check on my order and was told because of the 4th holiday they might be a little behind. So I waited and on July 13th I finally received a call. (Note 21 days after I placed my order) I was then told their first available install date was August 30th!!! 72 DAYS after I placed my order!!! 6 weeks out from when they received the carpet to the installer. How can this be possible for a major company to treat and act careless and make commitments and not be able to deliver. Needless to say I was horrified to hear this.

    My family has been sleeping downstairs in our family room and living room. This is a major inconvenience and I feel like they pulled a scam on me.

    Very sad experience. Drawn into the store by the advertisement for carpet with all inclusive free installation. All inclusive free carpet install with 699 purchase is not free. I went to the store and asked for the 699 special only. Was told I have to have a measurement done and the 50 charge for the measurement would be credited to the bill when it was purchased. I asked the sales rep (id **) if I can have the carpet removed one day and installed the next. He told me yes. I asked if there was an additional charge he told me no. He stated "just let installer know." When the installer came and took measurements I asked again and was told it was not an issue to have it removed one day and installed the next (so I can clean the floor).

    When I went to the store to finalize the transaction with rep ** I found many extras added into the bill. Extras include 75.00 to move hutch, 85.00 to bring carpet from the store to my house. Special order padding for.59 c per sq. ft. The one I requested was.18 c per sq. ft. After adjusting all the unwanted extras they tried to slip in the rep told me I had to add more carpet to meet the 699.00 minimum. So she added extra carpet to make the total amount due 708.00 including tax. I ended up paying 708.00 plus 50.00 measurement. For a total of 758.00 for a 699.00 carpet job. Including extra carpet that was not needed.

    When the installer called to schedule the job I was told it would be an extra 150.00 for them to return the next day for ME to clean the floor. They would not tear out the night before and let me clean the floors and then install the next day. I was told the charge was for them having to move furniture twice (total lie). Then I was told it was a charge because the installers can't wait around all day while I clean the floors. This is why I asked before measurement. Before I finalized the contract and before I paid the bill. When I questioned the bill (before installation) about the 50$ measurement fee as it was supposed to be credited into the bill I was told it was already deducted. When I checked the bill I found it was deducted then extra carpet was added back into the bill. In the end I was charged 758.00 for 699.00 worth of carpeting.

    The sales rep was very nice to me as my money was stolen. After several phone calls and several trips to the store I still don't have carpet installed, I have not received a refund or even a bill adjustment for the unneeded carpet that was padded to the bill (not talking about extra carpet for guts but extra added because I was allegedly under the minimum dollar amount). The double talk about the measurement fee and the lies about the installation has caused much stress. Not sure what to do now. Carpet over paid for and still not installed. Store manager refuses to do anything. Home Depot customer service number refuses to do anything.

    All I asked for is my bill to be correct and for the charges to be as agreed to when it was paid for without the hidden extras. Now to get a refund I lose my measurement fee and 20% restocking fee (carpet was and is still in stock and has not been delivered) or tear out the old carpet myself (I am disabled and currently recovering from surgery 1 day ago from when this was filed). They are holding my carpet hostage for another 150.00$.

    Last fall I purchased a new chain saw at Home Depot and also the extended warranty. This spring after using the saw to cut down 4 trees, it died and wouldn't start. After busting my knuckles trying to start it I took it back to Home Depot. They said it would be 6 weeks. I get a call from them saying they diagnosed the problem and said they will not cover under warranty because I didn't mix oil with gas which just isn't true. I keep a container of mix in my garage for week eater and chainsaw. They also said that it wouldn't start because the spark plug was fouled. (I guess they didn't know that a folded spark plug is caused by the oil in the gas).

    I did get a call from Home Depot customer support and she worked out an arrangement with Poulan rep to work on the saw and had me drop at off at the Poulan rep's store. While at the store the rep said I would have to pay for him to diagnose the problem and that if I didn't use Poulan 2 cycle oil in the saw the warranty would be void. He also told me and the Home Depot customer service rep that it would be 6 weeks. 7 weeks is in a few days on the 15th of July. I don't have much hope of ever getting a saw back.

    The Home Depot rep did offer me half of what I paid for the saw which I turned down. I told her I want my saw fixed on the warranty that Poulan or Home Depot are suppose to provide to me. Never again will I purchase another item or extended warranty from Home Depot. There seems to be play on words. The manufacturer says they will replace defective parts and don't accept the fact that if their product quits working that it had a defective part. When will businesses learn that their survival depends on satisfied customers?

    I don't work there or know anyone that does so my review is the real thing. Took a Ryobi rechargeable weed eater there to be fixed, it has a 3-year warranty. Took it back twice to be fixed, BOTH times Home Depot 'fix it' department said they have nothing to do with it, they ship it directly to Ryobi. Remember that statement.

    First time it took 28 days to get it back, Home Depot said Ryobi has it down as the battery needed replaced and that's all. #1 - Funny thing is I have, and know how to use, a volt meter. #2 - There was no voltage halfway down the shaft, where it unscrews for easy storage as they say, though I never took it apart to store it, I only took it apart to test it. #3 - The original battery had a mark on it, a scratch, the "new" battery coincidentally had the same exact mark. I didn't push the issue because it was fixed so 'Ryobi' can say whatever they want.

    Second time it took 'only' 16 days to get it back. I knew what was wrong with it this time because it was obvious, the starter switch/trigger froze up. It's a small device and if it burns out the button inside that the trigger handle pushes on to activate the trimmer won't go in. They bill me $25.00 for a product that is under warranty! Home Depot said they have nothing to do with the charges because all they do is send it to Ryobi. Remember the statement I said to remember, here it is again. They (supposedly Ryobi) charged me because there was no string/line in the trimmer. I took it all out before I took it in to be fixed, should have been no big deal but 'Ryobi' obviously thinks it is.

    I get home and start my phone calls. Ryobi was my first call since they are the ones that fixed it, according to Home Depot statements on THREE separate occasions, and they (Ryobi) are the ones that charged me the $25.00. Ryobi has no knowledge of my weed eater ever being worked on, it was never sent to them. Come to find out from Ryobi, Home Depot fixes/works on them their selves. And that $25.00 charge? Yep, it was all Home Depot and had nothing to do with Ryobi, even Ryobi said it was ridiculous and they have never heard of anything like that but could do nothing about it because they never worked on my trimmer.

    To try and shorten an already long review, I got the money refunded except for almost $5.00 for a 'replacement' spool, one of those pre-wound types and Ryobi backed up Home Depot saying not having line on it is considered "lack of maintenance". There's more to that conversation but not worth typing it all. It took 11 (eleven) phone calls to 9 (nine) different people to get to that point. First time using it after it got "fixed", I noticed 3 screws were missing in the part where the battery slide in. So before I start weed eating I once again called Home Depot and they said AGAIN it wasn't them, it was Ryobi, so...I remind them I'm the guy that found out that is a complete lie. Home Depot tells me if I bring it in to be fixed I will be charged for everything since screws missing is considered abuse of the product.

    Again, not going to make this review even longer with the rest of that conversation. 5 minutes into weed eating...the motor started smoking and caught fire. Do you really think I am going to go through all the mess and lies to have it "fixed" again, even though it's still under warranty? Nope, done with Home Depot and since Ryobi allows them to do as they wish to customers, done with Ryobi also. Bottom line: Home Depot blatantly and purposelessly lies and deceives in an attempt to scam customers. They can't deny it, I have all the proof.

    I was about to enter Home Depot Friday evening around 6:30 pm at the lumber entrance. A Home Depot delivery truck arrived at the same time. The two Home Depot staff got out and before I knew what was happening the most violent noise erupted and was so loud I almost jumped right out of my skin. I have terrible TINNITUS AND HAVE BEEN SICK WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF NOISE IN MY HEAD SINCE THAT EVENT. Careless thoughtless staff. I immediately turned and went back to my vehicle. You Home Depot suck big time. It will be a very long time before I enter this crap location on Empress.

    I have always been a loyal customer of Home Depot. I have a store less than a mile from my house and it's always been convenient for me. I felt by using them to purchase and install my new kitchen cabinets and countertops was a no brainer and the job would be done without any stress. Well I ordered my cabinets through Home Depot on May 10. They were shipped directly to my residence on June 8. I was told that they would keep track of the shipping and have somebody out as soon as they were delivered to install them. They weren't installed until June 17 (still not completed now July 9). They ordered the incorrect crown modeling and had to reorder. The cabinets' still doors and draws still have to be adjusted and the knobs installed. The company doing the installation (Metropolitan Renovations) will not finish the work until everything is on site (this sucks because I already paid everything in full and feel I'm being punished for Home Depot's mistake).

    I talked to my rep the other day and he had no idea what the holdup was and said he would check (still no response). To add to the problems the countertop company came and measured on June 21 and Home Depot didn't put the order in until Monday June 27. I'm also waiting to hear by on a set installation date for that too. This is the first time I used Home Depot to install. I've always been a do it yourselfer but didn't have the time for this big of a project. While I thought I didn't after this experience I could have done it a lot faster and for a lot cheaper. My mistake. This will be the last time I use Home Depot for anything.

    During home delivery the service installers installed the microwave and it's off center to the stove. The old microwave was in a different area. They claimed they could not remove it because the screws holding it in were stripped. They were using a battery powered drill and just over torqued it, my wife removed it with a standard Phillips screwdriver. The real issue came to the dishwasher. While trying to remove it they claimed the ceramic tiles needed to come out to remove dishwasher.

    After they left my son noticed the installer did not raise the leveling screws. Once he did that the counter top is free floating. We physically raised the counter and pulled it out. After calling back the installer he walked in, checked it with a yo-yo. Said he refused to install because the new dishwasher would not fit. He also claimed that we broke the screws on the counter top and pulled it from the wall. Well there are no screws on the counter top and we have now installed the dishwasher ourselves. My wife tried contacting the manager for the installer. This apparently has fallen on deaf ears. It has been over a week after they were contacted with no return calls.

    We bought new refrigerator, dishwasher, and gas stove in stainless steel. We're told delivery would be June 23. They brought appliances, took stove out of box and glass shattered in oven window. Told them to take back and reorder and redeliver. The delivery men were supposed to call their warehouse and schedule new delivery. Never done. Waited and called and the only person who helped me was salesperson in appliances at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania store. The warehouse and delivery ran me around. Finally got delivery date for Saturday, July 2nd from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm so we had our stove disconnected and put in garage to make things easier for them. 5:30 comes and no stove, my husband calls a number and lady said they are running late. Never called us to make us aware.

    Next thing, we get a call within one hour saying drivers were in accident and can't deliver. End of conversation. So my husband called back and they told us earliest date now is July 6th. We were soooo upset. I called the number back and some guy answered with kids in the background noise, and I tried to explain the situation, this is second delivery, etc. He said he was District Manager of delivery, named TJ. Hung up on me. So we just got a day and no time they are coming. I called the store and got the kind man in appliances name is Jack. Explained. He was questionable of delivery situation like us. Jack told us to explain to Store Manager. Store Manager Kerry was no help to us. No nothing. Awful. Horrible.

    Our first big purchase from Home Depot. Always use Lowe's, but I shopped for savings and sales and bought the best sale. Not worth it. If we can refund all appliances, we will have them come get refrigerator and dishwasher and start new at Lowe's. So disappointed. I was soooo excited for new kitchen and even got new floor installed. Now we can't cook at all since no stove. For at least 4 days... the delivery company is so unprofessional and I cannot believe Home Depot contracted with this company. Never buy from Home Depot again. So much stress from this. They, the store manager didn't even try to accommodate my husband with a gift card, nothing. And my husband is a Vietnam Army Veteran!!!

    This plasma cutter worked for exactly 13 months... yes, 1 month past the one year manufacturer's warranty. I had a 3 year extended warranty I paid extra for. I plugged the machine in and something popped; that was weird, it had been working just fine. It stopped working. The manual said there was a voltage overload protection inside and I took the cover off to see if there was a reset button--nope -nothing but circuit boards.

    I replaced the cover and sent it into Home Depot's extended warranty program ran by Asurion. They denied my claim because when they opened the machine they said they found 3 wires unplugged!! They just didn't want to replace my plasma cutter. I tried to reason with them--repair the machine, replace the machine with a new one, or give me my money back. They said "Sorry, claim denied!" They offered to send the machine back and give me instructions on how to get a pro-rated refund on my extended warranty. DON'T BUY FROM HOME DEPOT and DON'T EXPECT REASONABLE WARRANTY REPAIRS AFTER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRES!!!

    It’s been a while since I went to my local Home Depot and this evening I was reminded why I chose to avoid them. I recall they never had an associate available to help you. Today, I went to pick up a custom door which I had ordered 2 weeks ago. I received a phone call this afternoon with a message that my door was ready to be picked up. Went to the customer service desk (there were 2 people at the desk for pick up orders). The lady who served us looked up the order and called an associate – who arrived at least 10 minutes later! He was given a pick order and told us that it would likely take some time to bring the door to the front and these orders were usually screwed to the pallet during transportation and he would have to unscrew it by hand since he did not have a power screwdriver (my son, who was with me had to ask the obvious question – “Doesn’t this store sell power tools?”).

    Over half an hour later with no sign of the associate, I approached the counter and was met with another lady (with a badge that read “Customers First”), who when I pointed out that to wait half an hour for an order that I had been called to pick up was unreasonable, proceeded to tell me it was reasonable and that all they had called to say was that it was in “receiving” and that perhaps I should have called to let them know I was coming!

    When I almost lost it and asked to talk to her manager, the assistant store manager came over and also explained to me that this took time since they had to bring it back from receiving. When will someone explain to anyone at a service desk, that customers have no interest in learning about any company’s internal procedures! Their expectation is to receive service in a timely manner. The Assistant Manager did offer to go back and check on what was happening and returned with 2 associates wheeling a pallet with 3 doors on it with strips screwed to them to secure them. One of them did have a power screwdriver and proceeded to unscrew the holding straps – a job that took another 10 minutes.

    They pulled out the middle door (there were 3 doors on this pallet) and put it on a cart to roll out and I went over to inspect it and informed them that was not the door I had ordered. After checking the order number, they realized they had brought out the wrong order. The only one to apologize for the mix-up was the guy who was doing the unscrewing. When I said I was not waiting any longer to have them find the right door and go through the process again, the assistant manager offered to have the door shipped to my house – but I am not holding my breath…

    My husband and I recently purchased a new home without a Washer and Dryer. I purchased a pair on 6/11 with the hope that it would be delivered on 6/18, the day that we moved in. They weren't able to deliver until 6/25 which we made work. Once installed, the washer stopped working immediately and stayed on spin. It didn't matter what we did it would never change from spin. After calling Home Depot the same day to tell them our issue, we were initially told that we would have to have a service call, not a replacement. We disagreed that we should have to have service on a brand new washer instead of it being replaced. Finally we had someone confirm Sat night that they would replace however no one was there to speak with. We would have to wait until Monday.

    Monday morning I received a call before 9am that the replacement was called in and we should have a call within 2 hours to set up delivery. Three hours later, with no call, I called the replacement center (Maytag) and they told me that they had to review the file first and there was no guarantee as to when they would call. I called Home Depot again that night to remove the washer and dryer from my home only to be assured that they confirmed that the washer would be replaced and that they would work with my husband and I to make sure that we were home to receive it. Then Maytag finally called to confirm that they could have a washer delivered to us on 7/1 and that they too would work with us to make sure that we were home when delivery came.

    Today 6/30 at 1pm I received a call from the service that Home Depot uses and they said delivery would be from 10:30-2:30 on 7/1. I told them that was not possible and that I spoke with someone that guaranteed that they could deliver after 3pm. Spirit, the delivery service, told me that no one can guarantee that. So I had to change delivery date so that my husband or I would be home for the washer. I warn anyone against using Home Depot. They use a 3rd party to call and schedule delivery as well as deliver the appliance. When they call to let you know when delivery is coming, if they don't reach you, you don't receive a voicemail. They just hang up the phone. If you do pick up the phone, no one is on the other end of the phone so no matter what, you have to call them back.

    So at this point, I am 9 1/2 months pregnant without a washer for 3 weeks due to the incompetence of everyone involved. I wish that I would have stuck to getting them to come take my washer and dryer back for a refund. After spending over $3000 in there in the last few weeks due to our new home, Home Depot offers nothing but empty promises that things will be taken care of. I would suggest going anywhere else for an appliance. I will never shop there again. In fact, we already started going to the local Sears.

    Item was available online. Went into the store to confirm and make sure one was not in the store. The customer service person checked and verified it truly was available online as it said and would ship to the store. Deliver within the week. We paid in the store, by check for the item and they placed the order. Week and a half, no item. They said it would be another week. 3 weeks no item. Went back in to be told, "Well these are on a back order and not available for an undetermined time"!!! Ummm YOU said it was available at the order time, and throughout this three week time! This item is for an event and is something needed for this event to happen for around 800 people.

    So they said we should cancel order so we could find another option. They canceled the order in the store... Then tell me they cannot issue a refund??? They will mail a gift card, then we bring gift card back to store to get refund?? Please tell me how this makes sense?? I argued that was not okay as they were paid for the item they could not provide and I need the refund. No matter what was said or who we talked to the answer was the ridiculous gift card... FINE just send it.

    Fast forward 3 months and NO gift card!!! I have called and emailed and no help... Now going back to the store to try again.. So they have had money for 4 months, we never received the blasted item and still NO refund!! I guess $300.00 is just a bonus in their world??

    I have never ever dealt with this sort of horrid customer service. Sadly for Home Depot, my regular job is as a buyer for a large company that had been considering them as an alternative to the store we currently use... I can assure Home Depot that consideration is no longer!! I will not buy a bolt in there. So this $300.00 train wreck of inept and rude people just cost you about 80,000 a year...

    I live in a small town about 15 miles from my closest Home Depot, so generally I do my shopping at my home Lowe's. Occasionally, when shopping in Joplin, Missouri, I will stop at the H.D. store and make a purchase. After a recent visit, I noticed that the receipt was showing a "Max Refund Value" amount under each purchased item that was considerably less than what was paid. I looked at the H.D. home website, and could find no mention of a reduced amount for returned purchases, so I sent them an email, and asked for a phone call in response.

    A lady in customer service called me and said that I would have to ask the store manager why they were doing it. Really? Local store managers can set their own return policy for a mega big box store? Pretty unbelievable, but apparently true. I let the nice lady know that I didn't "have to" do anything; I can simply go to any of the other 5 or 6 options in the local area and write off Home Depot for any future purchases. I can still count on my local Lowe's for good customer service, so adios H.D. You just lost another customer.

    God prohibit you lose your receipt because even if you've never return anything in your life they blame a 3rd party company to not let you return your product you've recently purchased. Before you purchase they are so cool telling you how easy it is to return it if you're not fully satisfied and if it doesn't meet your standards, to just bring it back within the warranty period of time so you purchase confident they won't put you through the ringer in case you're not satisfied. They give you this BS # to call & when you call they tell you they have nothing to do with the return, it's all Home Depot's decision not to accept your return and blame them for it, they even tell you. They misrepresented what the 3rd party company the Home Depot hired to put the blame on, to not accept your return. They're such a fraud!

    They place you in a banned list even if it's your first time returning anything in your life! They suck and their pricing is much higher than others. They're such a fraud! They purposely place these thug looking, usually fat customer service reps that are rude and look you down and tell you they won't accept your return.

So my husband called Home Depot in Green Bay (which is where we had poor customer service with our carpet) and said the paint color does not match the existing color on our walls.

    On 6-7-2016 our company ordered 4 mortise chains, which our company needs to function. On 6-13-16 a couple of our workers asked me about the status of the order as they were in desperate need of them and remembered the estimated delivery date was around that date. When I checked the status of the order, much to our surprise the order had been cancelled without our knowledge. I called and was informed by Vikki the order was cancelled because they only had 2 in stock, not the 4 we originally ordered. Vikki then offered to redo the order for the 2 they did have in stock and get them to us ASAP. That was great! On 6-20-16 we received 1 of the mortise chains.

    Confused, I called again and this time spoke with Chiquita. She pulled up the order status and said she was showing nothing had shipped yet and promised she would check in to it and email me an updated status. I never received an email from Chiquita, but I did receive an email from Home Depot on 6-21-16 saying our order was on the way. But when you went to the tracking information it was saying it had already been delivered, so I waited in hopes of hearing something different back from Chiquita. On 6-28-16 I noticed our business card had been charged, but we still didn't have our complete order, nor did I have any promised updates.

    I once again called. This time I spoke with Alex who attempted to contact Chiquita and another CR person to find out what was going on. After being on the phone (on hold a majority of the time) I was informed they had discontinued the chains and the last one which we had been charged for and were supposed to have received on 6-20-16 had been lost in processing and they couldn't do anything about it except issue a refund, which will take 3-5 days to process. Our company has lost time working, money and had to go through a big hassle to find out we will not be getting our order.

    I recently purchased a trimmer/edger at homedepot.com. Home Depot's warehouse sent me the wrong item (a hedge trimmer). I simply asked that Home Depot ship the item I ordered to my local Home Depot store. There is a locked area where the item I ordered could be held until I was notified of the arrival. I would then take my paperwork along with the wrong item I received and then just exchange them. Even though this was NOT my mistake I have to jump through hoops to have the problem corrected.

    Home Depot expects me to return the item and then reorder my item again. That's time consuming and not worth it to me to take the extra time to have to replace my order. Plus I have to wait the additional time to get my item and who's to say it will be correct? I feel that if Home Depot really wanted to retain my business they would jump through hoops to make the situation right. Obviously, I'm wrong. I will be closing my Home Depot accounts once this mess is cleared up. I can order what I want from Lowe's, Walmart, and the manufacturer directly. I've never not experienced a company that doesn't go the extra mile to fix their mistakes. I hope this information is helpful.

    The reason for contacting Home Depot was to rent a lawn mower. My own mower has been in a state of disrepair and I needed a lawn mower to keep my yard maintained until I either purchase a new mower or have my existing mower repaired. As I used the rented mower, one of the wheels came off after I mowed one quarter of the lawn. Immediately, I called the store to report this. I was told to bring the mower in which I did. One of the men helped me get the mower out of the trunk of my car. There was no other mower available that I could rent to complete what I had hoped to do. The rented period was 1 hour and 53 minutes which included driving to and back to the store with the mower. I did explain that I intended to use the mower for 4 hours.

    The store associate completed the contract as if I had fully used the mower and as if the problem never happened. I was charged for 4 hours of rental even though I could not use the mower due to the wheel falling off. If I had a similar business, I would have a back up mower in case of a mishap like the rented mower had. What I also would have considered is putting the contract on hold until the mower wheel was repaired and allow the customer to complete the intended task. The suggestions I am making are what I would do to keep customers. It was disturbing to pay for a rental item and to not be able to complete what I had hoped to finish.

    I am not questioning the integrity of the people I worked with at the store. Maybe they are limited in what they are allowed to do but this did result in an inconvenience for me. The store should realize that situations like this can result in losing customers.

I said why is not written, she called several places, and ended up nowhere. Additionally, I was asked to sign an agreement regarding 3 days return policy from the date of signing the agreement. But, installation had to go through process of making an appointment that would have taken several days, many more days than 3. Thus, I said two dishonesty in one purchase, no way!

He told me that I was telling him what to do and not asking for help, so wrong I was asking for help but the chip on your shoulder made it impossible for him to see that.

    I brought the product in myself while he stood there and taunted me some more, asking me if I am asking for his help. I told him to grow up and he said that I needed to do so. Customers are not always right. They are wrong half of the half of the time but this guy was unprofessional.

My experience is with the Flooring Home Depot in Tracy, CA. from sales representatives to sales manager (Kristin) to customer service to upper management... You name it??? My husband replace an order for the laminate on the stairs and landing early March 2016. Guess what? It is 6/16/16 today and nothing happened other than the material is thrown in my face at home with no solution or even a followup phone call from Home Depot.

    Bad communication. No one ever called me to update me on the order status. OK, I had to do the followup myself. Nobody answers the phone. Why? They are very busy? True. Busy with bad customer service!!! So I had to show up almost every day to get updates and of course wait for almost an hour to get help... And all the excuses I had from A-Z. (It shows in the systems it's in process. It shows it will be delivered. It shows it got lost in transit; I'm sorry we have to re-order... All that crap... NO ONE EVER WAS CURIOUS ENOUGH TO CALL ME BACK... And once one of them didn't find my order online and had to get help!!! Really!!! Very bad management Kristin (flooring sales manager). And when I asked about compensation for the effort and time wasted, she told me she can do nothing till the job is done.

    Anyway when the installers showed up, they discovered some measurement were wrong and laminate doesn't work on triangle shape only hard wood. Whose fault that? The sales manager said she will launch an investigation about this... YA right!!! And they forced us to buy hard wood and pay the difference... So still waiting on the total amount of the price difference since 2 weeks ago... And nothing till now. And we did our own research. That laminate will work just fine on our stairs. It's just they didn't want to bother themselves again to redo the cut. They wanted more sales and profit for their pocket. That all. They even charged us for carry on labor from truck to inside home which we did ourselves hahahhahha... The kitchen counter top was not any better. When I arrived home, they installed the wrong color I thought i chosed... WHO Is responsible for all this miss Home Depot? $$$ Th. Paid for headaches and pain. Never again... NEVER.

    First mistake I bought a Toro mower. They would not honor warranty work for the first two years. It has been in for the same problem 5 times a year for the past two years. Now I find the nearest repair place for the extended warranty is 50 mile round trip, in another state in the middle of the country side off all main roads.

    I recently lost my job and it took 5 months to get a new job in my field. This caused a lot of headaches including losing my bank account. In going to Home Depot to rent a pump to drain our pool and having money on 2 prepaid cc they refused to rent to me as my card was not a formal CC. So beware if you do not have a CC you are treated as subhuman at Home Depot.

    I spent many thousands of dollars on kitchen cabinets and "turn key" services provided by Home Depot St Henri/Westmount, Montreal. They ordered the wrong size of the cabinets, so work cannot be completed and will resume no earlier than in 6-8 weeks. Currently my house is in CHAOS and is DANGEROUS as there are boxes and stuff all over the house. We cannot cook or function properly. IN ADDITION, there are stains on my floor, the wall outside of my kitchen is dirty due to their people putting things against it, my blinds in the kitchen do not function after they touched them.

    In addition, they did not deliver the materials on time and made it very stressful even before the cabinets arrived with the wrong sizes. Rather than renovation it is a disaster! I cannot function + cannot proceed with my summer plans to host my family in my home because it is halfway done I cannot cancel all of it - in short - the worst nightmare you can imagine. If you want stress-free renovation - make sure TO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH HOME DEPOT St Henri-Westmount Montreal!

    I have purchased many, many items for home repair/improvement over the years at Home Depot, but our new Whirlpool fridge is probably the priciest item. We ordered on-line through homedepot.com because there was an impressively short wait time for delivery of the item, and we needed the new fridge ASAP. We also ordered the extended warranty since our last fridge - a Kenmore - gave up the ghost in less than four years. Our new fridge didn't work from day one. The fridge has never gotten cold enough to keep the food safe. We contacted Whirlpool and they got repair people out next day, after which we waited several more days for parts to come in and be installed. End result: we have a fridge that doesn't keep our food cold enough to be safe.

    Whirlpool won't accept a return or exchange until their repair people have failed to repair our defective-out-of-box expensive item three times. But we didn't even purchase the fridge directly from Whirlpool, we purchased from their agent The Home Depot. Home Depot has flat-out refused an exchange or refund for the defective item they sold to us. In other words they don't stand behind the brands they carry. At this point I'm looking into legal options since I think even a broken-and-fixed appliance is not what I contracted for when I purchased a new item. Badly done Home Depot.

    I buy a top of the line KitchenAid dishwasher from Home Depot and pay all the extra charges to get it installed. They say 1:00 - 5:00 PM and don't show until 6:30. Then claim they can't install because a valve is corroded, but I can get the part from Home Depot for $8. These jokers just wanted to go home and blew us off after spending $875.

    I repeat do not get warranty for anything products a Home Depot in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I brought in my lawn mower to have it fixed. You pay warranty. First of all you gotta pay $20. Now I have to pay $57 to take it out. What's the warranty for? And then I have to wait almost a whole month. And I have not bother them to make sure if my lawnmower is being fixed, give me the runaround. They told me it was being fixed. The other person told me they sent it out to another state and the other person told me that the technician is supposed to come in and fix it. If I have to call to make sure that will working on my lawn mower or not they would not fix my lawn mower. It's not even worth getting warranty that you still have to pay.

    Neighbors refrigerator worked OK for 18 months except the ice maker kept overflowing. Freezer quit working and she called for service under the extended warranty she purchased from Home Depot. ALLSTAR APPLIANCE San Antonio responded and told her the freezer rails were bad and not covered under warranty. I defrosted it and noticed that the metal freezer rails appear discolored and Whirlpool probably used an inferior metal coating treatment, but with proper lubrication, the freezer drawer rolls in and out as smooth as silk. I don't recommend buying the Home Depot extended warranty, since they use a repair company not registered with the Better Business Bureau.

    Bought this expensive 5 STAR coffee brewer - My Cafe Single Serve Pod Coffee Brewer Bonus Pack $299.99. Hardly used it because I'm not a coffee drinker (bought it just for visits). This machine leaked water from the bottom making it a hazard and stopped working probably because of it early within the guarantee. I emailed customer service and never got a response. No wonder why they discontinued this product leaving the customer hanging... Too bad for The Home Depot!!! Never bought from them again!!!

    The worst customer service I have experienced in a long time!!! I have spent the last hour trying to schedule a delivery of an air conditioner. I was left on hold, and then hung up on twice by the same woman. And then when I called back and spoke with a man he kept telling over and over again that there was nothing he could do for me to see if my delivery had gone through because I didn't have the name of the woman who was helping me and he couldn't find me in the system. He kept repeating himself over and over again. Instead of trying to find a solution!!! He was dismissive and rude. He refused to go any further to help me. I said "so I should just forget the delivery" and he said "ya I guess". So I have been charged on my credit card and have no confirmation of my delivery.

    I have been attempting to contact a manager named Pelly only to have the same people keep putting me on hold. I have called 15 times in the last hour. Either no one answers the phone or I have been transferred around from person to person endlessly. When I try to explain my situation no one will even respond back to me. They just say to hold on or they just transfer me without even a word back. This is cold, incompetent customer service. I am disgusted at the lack of proper customer service training they apparently don't receive. I own my own business and would be horrified if my business ran this way. One hour out of my day wasted and cannot get one person to take my call!

    2 weeks ago I went to Home Depot located at South Bay, Dorchester, Massachusetts to place a order however the lady at the customer service was new and didn't know how to place the order using the store system. After about 10 minutes a co-worker finally came to her assistance and told her to use the internet portal to place the order and give it to a gentleman same place at the customer service desk and he will setup it up for home delivery. (All items were in the store at the time.) After the lady place the order and gave it to the gentleman I asked him 3 times if everything is ok for the home delivery on Saturday and he responded YES.

    The Friday before the delivery I checked the order online and saw that 1 item was cancelled so I called the store and ask what was going on only to be told that the J-Channels are finished and that the guy didn't put down the order for home delivery. I have to cancel the order which amounts to near $700 and call the store in Quincy on Friday and boy they was on ball. They take the order over the phone on Friday and deliver early Monday morning even though I have to skip work to receive it.

    Two weeks later - June 2, 2016- I went in again at South Bay and placed a next order that amounts to over $1,100.00 and paid for home delivery (both orders were done with cash - debit card) with a date of Sat, June 4th, morning delivery. At 11:30 am no showed up so I called the store only to be told (after on hold for about 15 minutes) that they don't when they are going to deliver it. At around 2:30 pm I got a call from them telling that they don't have a big truck available to put the ladder on so I have to wait until Monday. How can someone placed a order and you don't what you are going to use to deliver it. I have to keep calling back and a gentleman even hang on me saying he don't care. Finally get a lady answered the phone and promised to help and that she is going to ask the manager what can he do for me.

    The Manager came on the line after a long wait and basically tell me that I am not getting ladder today and the options available to me is to wait until Monday or cancel the order. (I did cancel the order again.) He should not be even managing a pig pen because the pigs will deserve better. He was rude and even telling me that he don't want to hear about the previous order that was cancelled just under 2 weeks ago, he is only talking about this one. The whole store needs to be trained in customer service. From what I was told, if you live in mainly ** neighborhood yours orders are delivered early and on the exact date but if you live in a mainly ** neighborhood it's tough luck. I would never tell my enemy at shop at the South Bay, Home Depot store. Lowe's is getting my money going forward. Until they can train their staff and management stay away. I spent thousands of dollars at this store but never again!

    Purchased a new washer/dryer at Home Depot 5/29/16. The installers showed up on time, but the dryer was dented. They asked me if I would accept it, and I would not. In the meantime, my old washer & dryer had been moved from my laundry room into the middle of the garage. They just left them there instead of taking them away (I'd paid for haul away), as they didn't have room on the truck for both the old and new items. Had to move them out to the driveway myself so that I could get the car back in the garage. Called Home Depot 3 times (2 times hung up on), and 20 minutes total on hold, before finally getting hold of someone who could help me. New delivery is now 5 days out, so no laundry for me in that time. If the installers had offered me a discount to take the dented dryer I may have considered it. Very disappointed.

    Updated on 06/09/2016: This is a follow-up to my review of 6/4/16. Just had the second delivery attempt on my washer/dryer. First attempt, they came with a damaged dryer and took both away. This time they just showed up with a dryer and no washer. They have now taken the dryer back, and are supposed to show up with both a washer and a dryer this Saturday. At least the delivery crew was very nice and helpful this time, and helped us put our heavy steel door back on, with only minor damage. I am not looking forward to taking that heavy thing off... again.

    I took the day off from work for this, and now have to reschedule my plans for Saturday. Plus I am now going to have to go to the laundromat to do laundry, as I've been without my old washer and dryer since 5/29. This is really unacceptable. Too bad they've already hauled away my existing appliances, I'd cancel my order. Hoping the third time's a charm.

    UPDATED ON 06/12/2016: OK, so here it is on Saturday 6/11/16 and STILL no washer and dryer. This was to have been the third delivery attempt. First attempt they brought a damaged dryer. Second attempt they didn't bring the washer. Third attempt they didn't show up at all. I was given a delivery window today between 1 and 5. I even called their main number this morning to verify that they were coming (and this after receiving their automated message) and was assured that they would be here. When 4:45 came and still no call, I called them and was told that my delivery wasn't routed for today. Another day shot and still no laundry. Looks like I'll be making another trip to the laundromat.

    Home Depot needs to do something about this!!! They have contracted with complete losers! When I call the store that I purchased from, they seem unable to do anything for me. I am now rescheduled for Tuesday, which would mean another day off work. In the meantime I will spend Sunday at Best Buy and Warehouse Discount. If they have these items, I am cancelling my order. I will NEVER order another appliance from Home Depot.

    DO NOT GO HERE for kitchen cabinets. Beware of the manager named **. We paid for design and measurement services and bought the cabinets from Home Depot. They measured wrong, the order came wrong and missing parts. They sent us a bunch of extra boards that we didn't need. When we brought the extras to refund, they shorted us hundreds of dollars that were eventually corrected after hours of me showing them how to do the math. The re-ordered cabinets were missing parts again. The order and measurement were completely off. Cabinets were inches off in multiple sections of the design. One cabinet went 2 feet into the doorway. This cost us $2,000 in extra contractor cost and delayed by over a month.

    When confronted for compensation of the problem, the manager blamed it all on us. Even though we paid for measurement and design, he said that we wanted the cabinet with a giant gap in the corner, and that we wanted the cabinet to go 2 feet into the doorway. It was almost outrageous, the slander and the attitude, the lack of accountability. They screwed us over big time and not even apologetic. This will be my last time shopping at Home Depot and I will be ceasing all activities with Home Depot as an investor. If you still insist of ordering cabinet from here, I highly recommend that you bring an audio recorder to all your interactions, especially with this manager. In the end, they will bully you and slander you, and it would be okay. (Re: Home Depot Nashua 12 Coliseum Ave.)

    Bought a fridge from Home Depot with the promise of delivery within 1 to 2 days. I was very disappointed when they subcontracted the delivery to a sketchy company. Thankfully the delivery itself went smoothly although they did not show up within the promised timeframe. A few days later I got a call from someone representing themselves as a Home Depot employee asking how my delivery had gone and offering a free water quality test in return for taking a survey.

    The individual on the phone was highly unprofessional and was calling from a number that was not from a business. They asked personal questions including wanting to know marital status and whether more than one person would be in the home for their visit. I ended up calling it off feeling very uneasy about the situation and discovered that they were not at all associated with Home Depot and that my information have been sold to them. It was someone trying to sell water filter systems. I would highly advise against using Home Depot delivery services.
