Called Schererville, Ind store. After getting hung up on 4 times finally got a manager Less and didn't care if I stayed a customer or not. I am a contractor and was told I can go to Lowe's or Menards. Online charge me 9.00 on tax and store charged 13.00. They said that is the way it is. Why even shop at store instead of online. I wonder what IRS WILL SAY.

In the past year I have purchased, or purchase for 4 appliances. A French door style refrigerator, 2 dishwashers and now one washing machine. The delivery service has had to replace the fridge because all of the glass shelves were broken. This delayed receiving my fridge by three weeks and I had to sweep up the glass from the street. It three times to get one of the dishwashers delivered because two were damaged from mishandling. One got dropped so hard the motor seal broke from the stainless tub.
Now the delivery company held me hostage in my home for 12 hours waiting for them to deliver my washer. The arranged for a 7am to 11am, and no one called me to apologize or even tell me if they were coming. My local store was unable to tell me anything. I will NOT purchase any other appliances from the Home Depot as their total lack of customer service and the "I don't care" responses I get are just too much for me to handle. I am the customer! I will take my business elsewhere!

It’s me again. I got a call from a store manager in West Springfield MA today. I am sorry, I work for a living and I did not get home until 4:30 pm. When I tried to return the call, she gave me an extension on the sales floor that rang and rang. A lot of help that was. NOT. My husband spoke to her briefly today. She said, again that we would not receive the cabinets until December 5th. That is unacceptable. We are a middle-class family that works hard for our money. We were finally able to redo our family room. We bought cabinets from you, you took our money to pay for these cabinets. And then you sold them. In my book, this transaction constitutes a contract between you and me. We were specifically told that the cabinets were in stock in the warehouse. We were eventually told after many attempts to go pick them up 3, 2, 1 days later that they were on their way.
Then we were told by one of YOUR salespeople that your affiliate company placed a big order after ours and took our cabinets away from us and NOW our cabinets were back ordered until December. Are you kidding me??? I paid for those cabinets and that should not have happened. You sold our cabinets!!! I can not tell you how angry I am at Home Depot. We traditionally have a party at my house the Saturday after Thanksgiving to celebrate my only child’s birthday. He will be 14 this year. Guess what? This is not happening thanks to you! I have dreamed about a mantle on my fireplace that I will decorate at the holidays. I finally got one but guess what? I don’t have cabinets to finish the room so I can't celebrate Christmas in my new room because… YOU SOLD MY CABINETS. We are living in one room with furniture crammed into it.
Our Christmas won’t be celebrated in my new room thanks to you. Where do we fit a tree. I can not stand that you thought nothing of selling my cabinets. You need to realize that behind every purchase at Home Depot is a story. And this is my story. And it’s not pretty and I am not going to stop. If I have to post something on social media every day, I will. That is how angry I am. I will not stop. Do the right thing. Find me cabinets. And don’t do this to anyone else. Don’t ruin your customers' hopes and dreams like you have ruined mine. Have a heart Home Depot.

Every time I order from Home Depot I get no receipt, proof of purchase and item is always broken. I get screwed unless I get at the store. Opened box and item (Ryoby power washer) is in rusty, used, scratched up and handle with rips. I don’t get it.

CAUTION! I purchased flooring from Home Depot and of course they had to do the measurements and the install. The guy that did the install was great. No problems. The problem is I was told I could return anything unused. There were 8 boxes of flooring left over! 8! On a small master bedroom. So of course I figured well I'll just return the extra and I did. However what they don't tell you is they are going to charge you 15% restocking fee! So the measure and you have 8 boxes left over and get charged to return their screwup. I called the main office who said, "We'll have the manager call you, Craig, and fix this." Never got a call so I called there 5 times and of course he never returned my calls. Folks stay the hell away! This is a scam scam scam! 8 boxes. Are you kidding me. I'll never shop there again. NEVER. And I've received 7 different emails on him calling. YET ANOTHER BUSINESS THAT CAN'T THEIR JOB.

Home ** Orange Depot - Unbelievable experience recently - accused it was my bank 's card issues which it is actually the Home Depot's online/ staff issues. They keeps on beating around the bush, did not honor the agreement prices; and said guarantee it will go through this time to shipping my items - every time, 6th time they canceled my order auto by their system - then on their knees being extreme apologize, that they value me as their customers. Good Business would not point their fingers at the creditors when creditors was on 3 way phone line communication to confirm it/everything not once but TWICE - wasted few days of my time past 1 week and half.
I had ordered DeWalt combo driller for just $99 plus the insurance plus the 30 pieces for it - received it at no problem, then they said my 2nd/3rd order was a huge issues with the information to be verify? Yeah right; if first order went through no problem and was billed to my creditor; same credit card info, same address, everything just the SAME - being lied to, played games with, wasted our customer's time... Telling ME to go BUY A GIFT CARD then use it to try to get order to go through? WOW. NO heck way that I WOULD EVER buy gift card, deal with blunt honest info - my credit card period! I will NEVER EVER do business with Home Depot again EVER - wasted nearly 1 week and half of my time; stress increase, anger increase, frustration increased - good for my health? NO! Business should be solutions, not problems ongoing.
I am going to return that 2 DeWalt drill combo and demand refund; then bring that money over to Lowe's nor ACE hardware stores who are undervalue that are deserving with decent customers that they rightfully deserves. Home Depot DOES NOT deserves our business if they keeps on treating their customers like this. Canceled my order 6 times and point their nasty orange fingers at my creditor company which my creditor has no problem getting my food/needs/shops other places no problem; Home Depot the only one that has issues. They had opened a specifically case for me; assigned me to specialist - then when I called to try to resolve this issues, for the SIXTH 6th times (6 confirmation orders here: I can list it if you want to know the proof)... after requesting my specialist - they refuse EVEN EVER let me talk with that specialist and said they can help, made it only them able to help. It's totally B.S.
If they can't solve problem, own it up, honor what their agreement with the customers, keeping their fingers clean before point it at another side - then I have NO ZERO BUSINESS to be in their business to do business with them. I take my precious time/business elsewhere who deserves my money. Home Depot isn't the one. Sad. When I buy my own land - I will make SURE NOTHING EVER comes out of you/your company Home crap orange Depot. Sorry but NOT SORRY! Hello Lowe's, Hello ACE - thanks for being really good to me, that I will from now on coming back to you guys for the rest of stuff I needed as you deserves well loyalty customer. Goodbye Home Depot, you fit in landfill garbage.

As new residents in the state of Washington we knew no contractors and therefore chose the one stop, choose all at the Home Depot interior kitchen remodel department. Eventually ‘Chris’, the northern Washington sales manager arrived at our home with many samples from which we chose about $30,000 worth of product and labor for the completed project. We signed the contract then and there not knowing that interest begin to accumulate immediately. Fine print for sure. Chris told us that our only responsibility would be to remove the contents of the cabinets so the work could be performed and that we would have to do nothing else whatsoever.
The time for measurements came and two different people responded to the home and took precise measurements including computer measurements and then we were told that one of our choices called a waterfall would not fit based on the structure of the floor and the wood trim and that it would have to be deleted from the project but that we could replace it with a fake cabinet.
On cabinet installation day the contractor did not arrive. I called Chris and the project coordinator. I emailed them multiple times and received no answer. I left voice messages multiple times and still got no answer or response. Late in the afternoon the contractor called me himself and told me that he was sorry but he had no idea that we were so far away from his location and that he would begin the project the following day. He was a nice guy but they did not send him enough materials nor did they send him the proper materials to install everything finished as promised. On this day for the first time I was able to speak to Julie installation coordinator. She was surprised to find that our backsplash had not arrived with the contractor and upon research determined that they had sent the wrong backsplash from Southern California. It would take days to receive the new order.
For the entire summer and now for the installation I had to make my schedule around Home Depot. I could not wait the few days for the backsplash to be delivered and simply asked that we postpone that installation for a later date that we scheduled then. Before I returned to Washington from California I called Julie with the intention to determine if the backsplash had arrived and if we were on target for the scheduled appointment. I received no response to my emails or phone calls and I again called Chris the super salesman with the same results. Lacking any information from Home Depot that was pertinent to our project and that would require my trouble I came anyway. I then contacted the Home Depot store in the geographical area where all of these managers were located and explained my situation, my current location and my lack of information.
A wonderful lady made my issues a project and was able to tell me that I was scheduled for installation on the following day and that my materials had arrived. At the scheduled time the contractor did not arrive. As usual I called and wrote but nobody responded. Late in the afternoon there was a knock at my front door and I found here a very nice man who was the backsplash installation contractor who had called the wrong number to say that he was going to be late as he did not know that our project was so far away from his location. He worked on his project until 11:45 PM that night. He did not reinstall the cover plates for the electrical outlets and asked me if I could do it and after saying yes I was informed that the screws would have to be cut and shortened because there's insufficient room behind the outlet because of the backsplash.
Today the kitchen is not complete. There were insufficient materials supplied to the cabinet contractor to finish his portion of the job. Several pieces of wood trim have not been replaced or repaired and the supports for one of the countertops were not supplied by Home Depot. I purchased them my self above my contract price and they have been installed but not painted to match anything.
We ordered a Lazy Susan for one of the cabinets to replace an inoperable one. That has yet to arrive as well. I am awaiting a refund for the unused material that we paid for but would not fit. Still waiting for the fake cabinet door to cover what would have been the waterfall. The grout for the backsplash has already cracked in less than three weeks and if that doesnt beat all no one from Home Depot has responded to my written request that describe these problems above (haven't told them about the grout).
My total charges to date for Home Depot exceed $45,000. My local store is undoubtedly the best Home Depot I have been to or used and the service there is impeccable and beyond expectations. I have told the story during surveys with multiple receipts about how exceptional their employees here are. No one has yet to contact me regarding this incomplete project.

If I can give Home Depot service a no star I would. First off Samsung fridge is JUNK. Worst fridge I've ever owned & purchased from Home Depot. I would never recommend or purchase another Samsung appliance. Second Home Depot extended warranty is a JOKE. Purchased the Samsung fridge in Feb of 2015 with the 5 yr extended warranty. So far we've had 5 service calls but probably 10 visits from a service tech. According to Home Depot the fridge does not qualify for a lemon even though there has been 10 visits and multiple parts replaced. Home Depot prefers to keep wasting my time in having to coordinate my schedule around the service tech's schedule. And I'm sure the cost associated with the parts and labor is close if not already exceeding the cost of a new fridge. Home Depot I will submit every possible complaint and spread the negative service I've received from Home Depot until I receive a new fridge.

GE Stackable Washer and dryer: Order appliances and paid in full on September 9th, 2017. Was told delivery and installation would happen on Nov. 8th, 2017. Nov. 8th 2017 got appliances but stacking kit not ordered. Contacted HD and was told kit was ordered and installation would be completed on Nov. 11th. Nov. 11th wrong kit was ordered. Back to HD. Was told the kit would arrive by Nov. the 15th, not buying it. Don't believe them, we'll see. Also every time I call I have to give all info just to be transferred to another line and start all over again. Also elbow to dryer exhaust duct not in parts. Used old one and started dryer installation myself. Just need kit and if not delivered by Wednesday I'll buy kit and do the installation myself. Losing money in this deal. Not worth it, terrible purchase. Hopefully the appliances will work properly. Keeping fingers crossed.

I am writing because we had purchased a Samsung washer and got the protection plan (5yr) and the drain pump tore up and at the time A & E came and said they could not get the screws and so we had to go to the laundromat from the end of June till September 14, 2017. So they sent in a laundry reimbursement form thinking we was going to get our money back for going. Well was I ever fooled because they said $50.00 per claim.
So October 13, 2017 same thing happened so a Duns repair came out. Same problem so we had sent in both repair recipients and they said they were only 1. Sorry Home Depot. Will never ever trade with you again and I hope you can live very well with how you are taking advantage of people letting people believe you are seriously going to be honest. REALLY. So people reading this do not trade at Home Depot or buy their protection plans. It isn't worth it really because they will not reimburse you fully. I will never ever buy nothing else with them EVER.

I purchased a $2800 refrigerator in 2016 and the $250 5-year protection plan. My refrigerator compressor died 18 months later. When I called I was told there aren't any technicians available for 2 weeks. I cannot go without a refrigerator for 2 weeks. They said they can't do anything unless it is during normal business hours. I didn't know my refrigerator couldn't break down on weekends. They have no technicians available on weekends. They also disconnected me trying to talk to the supervisor twice. This seemed intentional. The protection plans are a complete scam.

Horrible delivery service! Delivery guy called me about my washer being delivered. My delivery timeframe was from 8:15am to 12:15pm. Well he called me around 8am and he told me that he will be here in 30 minutes. I informed him that I’ve got to take my son to school around 8:30am but should be back around 9:15am. He said that’s fine and he will call back around that time.
Well as I was taking my son to school delivery truck came to my house. I told him I have to take my son to school if he could wait or come back another time today and he refused to do any of that. I was just minutes away from home and he called me again and told me I have to reschedule for another day. I’ve asked him, “Can you just wait few minutes? I will be home shortly.” He refused. But he sat near my driveway around 15 minutes just to call me and tell me I have a delivery and I need to reschedule. Really? Well, I’m worried this will happen another day if I will reschedule. I’m almost tempted to return this washer and go buy one at different store where delivery would work around the customers and not around their convenience. This has been bad experience. Very unprofessional!

Today, I purchased a Ryobi Table saw - low-end to be sure, but it would more than do the jobs I need. Problem is, apparently Home Depot DOES NOT INSPECT INCOMING SHIPMENTS. This is sad. When a shipment arrives at your door, and the box has a gaping hole in it, you should reject it, right? Well at Home Depot they had two of these table saws in boxes. One box had a gaping hole in it, so I didn't choose that one; the other box seemed pristine, so I took that one.
After assembling, I noticed the table part of the table saw (which needs to be absolutely flat so you don't saw crooked) had two major dings in it - not really noticeable when I took it out of the box, but about a 1/2 inch bump on one side and a 1/4 inch bump on the other. Then I looked at the box and noticed a slight ding on each side which I didn't notice before.
Was this Ryobi's fault for bad packaging? Was this the shipper's fault? Was this Home Depot's fault? I am not sure (to be fair). My box had no holes in it, just barely noticeable dings, but the other box had a major hole in it, and in my mind Home Depot should not have accepted it from the shipper. This is not the first time I have seen this - seen it many times - boxes with holes.
If this is the shipper causing this, Home Depot needs to send a message to them by not accepting damaged boxes. Why pass the trouble on to your valued customer? Or maybe they are not so valued? Who covers the time loss on my part??? I guess the final moral of the story is, don't buy a table saw whose table part is actually heavy sheet metal - it should be forged machined metal, or else the packaging needs to be significantly more robust.
I don't want to unfairly fix blame on any party for this; in my mind, Ryobi failed to develop appropriate packaging for this product, the shipper may have been unduly rough, and Home Depot should refuse shipment on products in broken boxes; everyone needs to do their part. Fortunately, I do expect Home Depot to make it right, but valuable time was lost.

Home Depot only cares about the money and not their customers! Kitchen remodel with custom cabinets to fit a 36" range. What I received & signed for was a 30" range. Called Goleta Store only to be told, “Appliances can't ever be returned” by the store Manager. Called Headquarters and was told, "Can't go against what the Store Manager says" and was connected back to him. I explained that box has never been opened and I just wanted an exception to be made to exchange the range for to a 36”. Again, he stated, “No exceptions can be made as the warehouse won't give a credit nor can the range be resold".
I've been a loyal customer for many years and I'm totally outraged that your priority is your profits and not the customer! As for resale of an unopened range, I find it hard to believe that it can't be sold. Sounds like a Win Win for Home Depot and not the customer! I will NEVER go back to Home Depot and I will be telling my story to all my friends and family encouraging them to spread the word how Home Depot only care about the profit margin instead of their customers!

I spent a long time researching dehumidifiers on Homedepot.com and then purchased one on their website. It was a good deal. I chose the cheapest shipping and it was still like $20. It said it would arrive next week. The order "never went through" even though there was a pending charge on PayPal. I called them and PayPal, went into a home depot store and none of them could find it. Now the same dehumidifier is not offered on their website strangely and it's been weeks since I ordered it.

Review is for Pearland TX Home Depot near Hwy 288. Working with flooring dept. manager, we needed 1150 sq. ft. of laminate, but we rounded up to 1200 ft. to assure we had enough. The Home Depot manager somehow ordered 2200 square feet, 4320 pounds of laminate AND it was delivered in an 18 wheeler with no forklift. In our rural neighborhood, the road was too narrow for the driver to back into the driveway, so we had to use their pallet jack to move 3 full pallets weighing over 4000 pounds on a gravel driveway, then we found out it was twice as much as we needed after moving it box by box into the house. Home Depot said there would be a 25% restocking fee to cover THEIR mistake, costing me over $2000. Will never shop at Home Depot again!!! This is not what we needed after our house was flooded in hurricane Harvey. I would give them less than one star if that was possible!!

I had a failure of my refrigerator. It went off and spoiled my food. $325.00 worth of food was thrown in the garbage. I was gone for over a week and when coming home found my refrigerator was off and for over a week. Needless to say I called the company that had my protection plan. They told me to unplug the refrigerator and plug it back in. I did it and the frig started working again. But the food was lost. Well Anthony said he would send me a form and to fill it out and submit it. And I would be paid for my loss. WRONG. LIES. I heard nothing for a month so I called the company and what do I hear from them? They are not paying because no one came out to repair the frig. DO NOT BUY PROTECTION PLANS. They are filled with loopholes that the companies that sell them get out of paying you anything.

Multiple "separate orders" were placed by Home Depot for a "single" new flooring/new appliance project, and "partial" order deliveries happened on different dates. The order in question was shipped 09/22/17 per their confirming email (see enclosure). Though I checked and re-checked over 3 weeks (starting on 10/4/17), trying to ensure delivery had indeed happened of the flooring (since delivery was for a vacation home location), I was continuously assured that it "was delivered on 10/4/17" per their system (another partial order was delivered that day, but NOT the flooring). When the construction crew showed up to do the work on the morning of 10/14/17, they reported that the "flooring" order was missing.
After hours spent on the phone, while the crew waited for resolution, I was finally informed by H.D. on the evening of 10/14/17 that my flooring order was sitting with a "third party delivery carrier", in spite of the fact that on 3 separate occasions H.D. staff assured me the flooring HAD BEEN DELIVERED ON 10/4/17. My new flooring/appliance project at a vacation home is now cancelled, due to failure of product delivery by Home Depot (all other orders/items were delivered, but without a new floor - how can a new appliance be installed?)
The "new delivery date" for the MISSING FLOORING is 10/25/17, but I no longer have a construction crew available since this was a 4 day project. My new appliance will now have to sit in its box in the garage, until both the crew and the vacation home are available. The construction time was scheduled during peak season in CO (10/14/17 to 10/17/17), because the crew was available. I have just lost renting my vacation home out during Peak Fall Season and the work could not be completed - this is irresponsible business behavior that has caused us a loss of income!

I ordered 3 area rugs from Home Depot for a total of $1466.20 including delivery. One rug was delivered right away. The other two were taking a long time. I was sent an email with a link to track a truck coming from Mexico. The problem is, the information didn't mean anything. I had no idea where the rug actually was. Finally I checked and it said that they had called me the day before to confirm delivery, which was a total lie.
We had doctor's appointments that we couldn't cancel at the last minute, so my neighbor was watching. She looked out her window and the truck was pulling away after dumping the rug in my front yard in the rain. At no time was I provided a phone number or any way to contact anyone about this delivery. What really bothers me is the lie that we had been called. My neighbor hurt her back trying to pull the 9X13 rug into our house to get it out of the rain. I am considering getting an attorney. The trucking company would have a hard time proving they called, because they didn't. Home Depot is responsible for the subcontractors they use.

The delivery people dropped the refrigerator on my concrete driveway. When I called "customer service" about the broken (new) refrigerator, I was repeatedly disconnected. When I would get through to a real human, I was repeatedly put on hold and then disconnected. This saga went on for over 3 hours. I was finally told that The Home Depot was not responsible for any problems with the appliance.

On 9-26-17 I placed an online order with Home Depot. They took my money and sent a confirmation of shipping. 10 days later I still had not received my order and contacted Home Depot. At first they claimed I did not make an order. After showing them the receipt, bank debit and confirmation numbers they spent an hour on the phone claiming their shipper was at fault and lost the shipment. I gave them 3 more days to fix the problem to no avail. At this point I requested a refund. They sent me an email claiming they would credit my account (which has not yet happened) but ONLY for the cost of the item, less the sales tax AND shipping charge. So a warning to everyone. Home Depot is not only an unreliable vendor but will only refund part of your payment if they refund anything at all despite the fact that they did not ship the product and made continuous claims that they would fix their internal problems.

To the manager of the Waukesha Home Depot store I appreciate you calling to let me know once again you and your company do not back your products (carpet) you sell or offer to install for free (with non-English speaking, miss your appointment & install incorrect) through a 3rd party contractor. We had our whole house of carpet installed 01- 2013. Apparently when you install carpet you are supposedly told where seams are going to be installed-wrong! However we had noticed the seam coming apart and showing down to the backing.
Yes, I should've called sooner. However I dreaded dealing with home depot or crew 2- the install company again after the horrible install- no wonder they offer to install carpet for free! I figured the carpet itself had a warranty which it does however since I didn't PROFESSIONALLY CLEAN THE CARPET supposedly the warranty is voided! Wow. Who would've thought you have to clean your carpet to not void the warranty of a defective carpet/seam. Wow. I hope car manufacturers don't require you to wash your car weekly/monthly to maintain the warranty. Think before buying anything from Home Depot - they sure do not stand behind their product or their defective installers!

I wish there was something lower than one star to rate my delivery experience. First of all Home Depot has a third party do the delivery and installation of appliances. That being said we ordered a dishwasher and had our scheduled day and time of between 8 am and 4 pm. When the item was not delivered by 3 I placed a call and spoke to the "middle-man". I'm guessing who then in turn called the delivery people.
Needless to say there was no response and no delivery. I called Home Depot directly and the manager apologized and set up a new date and time the next week. Once again no delivery OR call saying they would either be late or have to reschedule, and that is the most aggravating part. I called Home Depot and was guaranteed delivery the next day. I had to call them at noon and was told she was working things out with the delivery/installation company. A few hours later I was told they would come three days later to which I was not happy so I cancelled the order. This was the most inconvenient and aggravating situation I ever had with a company. I will never shop there again. I did get my money back but that was also a chore.

I bought a fairly expensive Bernzomatic blowtorch with two tanks from Home Depot that I thought would be in excellent condition. When I tried to assemble it one nozzle wouldn't screw onto the tank. I thought it was a bad tank but neither tank would screw on. I contacted Home Depot by email telling them I needed to return it because I had lost the receipt and the item was defective and never been used. Regardless of the fact that it was never even assembled they refused to return it or even give me credit for other store items stating store policy against returning items without a receipt or sold after so many days.
I told them I wouldn't shop there any longer if this wasn't straightened out and they didn't even care in the least having so many customers that they think they can stick it to whoever they want apparently. I couldn't find this item online so Home depot must know they were peddling broken junk and don't care if they peddle broken junk as long as they get a dollar out of you honestly or dishonestly. My policy in the future will be to spread the word that Home Depot is a dishonest peddler of broken junk and to shop at Lowe's or local hardware stores from now on and to assemble items that require assembly right after purchase.

Want to clarify that Home Depot (Durham NC) customer service was extremely professional and helpful each time I called. However, my complaint is actually with the local delivery service and "professionals" who were suppose to remove, haul away my old machine and install a new dishwasher. After taking time off work, service was not completed, delivery guys were rude, and I received no call or follow-up from supervisor in charge. Had to request for complete refund due to the lack of professionalism of the 2 delivery men and the supervisor.

About 2 years ago we worked with Josh ** at the Home Depot in NW San Antonio at Bandera and Loop 1604 on a front door project. We needed a glass security door and Josh helped us select just the right one for our needs. We ended up with a beautiful secure storm door that lets wonderful light into our family room. Josh is not only knowledgeable, but he kindly listens to what you really want and then designs it!
Today we were looking for a replacement to our back door, which is old, wooden, and somewhat warped on rainy days. Josh spent almost an hour with us and showed us the various options in fiberglass outside doors--from no grid to 9-15 grid, blinds or not, colors, to finish. He practically had the options of every vendor memorized as he scrolled through screen after screen, looking for the right option. He talked us through the measuring and purchasing process as well. As semi-retired seniors, he understood that we needed the best deal possible since we are on a fixed income. We love this young man! You need to know and appreciate that he is an absolute treasure to your organization and is the epitome of what every Home Depot employee should be! Thanks, Josh!

Biggest mistake of my life was trusting and using this company for such an important investment. They misrepresented the product. What I purchased and what I received are not the same, and the installers were HORRIBLE. Damaged our home, and were so ill-prepared. It wasn't even funny. The carpet is loose and uneven, not secured and they slopped glue on our tile, broke baseboard and said nothing. The list of errors is extensive. HD is refusing to credit us, refusing to refund us and I got yelled at by the store manager, who would not let me get a word in edgewise to even ask a question. Bottomline, run as far away from this merchant as possible. They're your best friend until they get your money. After that, you don't matter. Worst service ever.

On August 3, 2017, I ordered a set of 6 blinds for my home. The total cost: $5,390.20. We were told by the Home Depot salesman who sold us the blinds and who measured up at our home that installation was confirmed for Aug 22. However, he wrote on Aug 21 to say there was a delay and installation would be on Aug 31. My husband and I were disappointed but we couldn't do anything as Home Depot took 100 percent payment upfront. We had to cancel our plans to holiday interstate around that time - Aug 28-Sep 3. I had thought, when we were told to pay, that the Home Depot full payment policy was not right for consumers. Having dealt with numerous companies, the most we had to pay for any job or order was 50 percent of the total price and the balance after installation.
Anyway, we paid up in good faith as we were assured by the salesman the blinds would be installed on Aug 22 and we were desperate for them. The price was a wee bit steep - had I shopped around, I am pretty certain I could get a cheaper quote elsewhere. When the salesman who was also blind installer came on Aug 31, I wasn't happy with his lack of expertise and lack of thought on placement of the blinds in the window space. In fact, he had to remove and re-install two blinds a few times as he did not properly measure the distance, etc and he drilled so many holes. One of the blinds was a tight fit on one side and is now nudging the wall each time you bring it up and down. I called Home Depot customer service to find out why the installation delay and was told by the person who answered the call that she would look into it. She offered $70 on Sept 7 in an email to me as compensation for the delay.
I thought it was rather a small consideration for so much inconvenience. Up to today, I haven't received the check and that's close to a month. As we paid for the blinds by credit card, I asked if Home Depot could do the $70 refund to our credit card but was told Home Depot does not have the means to refund by credit card. Are they serious? I have always got money back from vendors when due via credit card refund. And did Home Depot send a check? It seems to be a very stressful affair for me to be dealing with Home Depot - all the way from Sales to Installation to Customer Service. The least Home Depot can do as an act of courtesy is to refund to the credit card or cancel the check (if it was sent out) quickly and resend me a replacement check via Registered Post. I think companies should really not be allowed to get away with bad service because they are among America's biggies. If anything, they should provide sterling customer service.

I had Home Depot install quartz countertops in Nov 2016. I was not happy with parts of the installation and would not have said anything but they called wanting to know about my experience. Thus, I let them know I was not happy and they said they would send someone out to check. The person they sent was actually unsympathetic, said he did not care what I thought and my complaints were senseless, except for one seam and he would send someone out to get it fixed. This is Oct 2017 and I am still waiting.
All my complaints were legitimate but it does not seem to matter to Home Depot. I went by the store a few days later and explained the situation to the young people who were working there. They said they would get "right on it" and I have yet to see or hear from anyone connected with Home Depot or the company they sent to install the countertops. Needless to say, I am telling everyone to not use Home Depot for installation of quartz countertops. "One dissatisfied customer can do more harm than 1 satisfied customer can do you good."

This has happened more than once. I was recently at HD and saw they had an Amana Microwave Range Hood on sale for $135.00. Big orange sign over the floor model and it said the sale was from 9/28 to 10/15 (or close to this). I asked to purchase one. None were in stock. I would have to 'special order' it and there was an additional fee of $59.00. This was the case for all the items I asked about. One of the clerks tried to tell me there was no stock because these were left over from Labor Day. Another, at the customer service desk, explained that HD had no choice to charge $59.00 for shipping (no free shipping to stores for these lower priced items) because the 'manufacturers made them do it.' It was the same online.
I wanted to talk to the store manager and was discouraged. I told them I felt this was false advertising, perhaps 'bait and switch' to get people to buy more expensive appliances. I asked how they could advertise at a low price when they knew another $59.00 would be charged? This is very disturbing to me. I wonder if it is legal?

I ask why they did not offer this and was informed I got what I asked for and received an attitude from the young lady.
I spoke with a manager and was informed that the customer should understand the equipment they are renting, which does not make sense. Also, the young lady behind the desk was very confrontational and has no respect for the customer.

The wheel on the machine was bend. That I could live with and that we knew. He also found out the blade was also bend that makes it impossible to start. He ask, "What are we gonna do?" So I said, "Exchange it for another one".
He told us to take it back to customer service and they should make that exchange. Boy was we wrong. The customer service Lady name Chole told us that we should take it to one of the regular cashier because she did not have some orange sticker to complete the transaction so we took to one of the cashier. Now my patience was running hot. The young lady told us she can't help us. She had no idea what this lady Chole is referring to. OK so now am up the top. I ask for the manager on duty. He was in his office and will get the orange sticker. He never showed up. This was now at 7:45 pm still waiting for the or someone to help us just to exchange this machine. Ask for the manager again.

While am standing at the tool rentals service are one of the staff ask me, "Did he come to see you?" I said no. He said, "He walk by you just now." This manager had no plan to help us. Some guy one of their superior said to me, "Do you have a receipt?" I said yes. He said, "Just take the good one" and that was that. Really that's all it took. I left there at 8:15 pm.

Age old story of a purchase through a store that promised delivery and installation. After item arrived in store, they suddenly had issue with the installation part of the promise. So instead of saving money and ordering from another online company, I ordered from Home Depot. Now the cost of item is roughly 860, original cost $699. I now have to pay a third party to install which is going to cost a lot extra.
If I knew home depot would not be able to deliver on a promise, I could have saved at least $100 online or more and had the item shipped directly. Anyway, after speaking to 4 people in store and customer service/relations, my issue is still not resolved. No one communicates, no one gives accurate information. I was treated like I spent $10, not almost $900. Unprofessional, chaotic and sloppy service. A store that is this big and that has been around this long, should be running efficiently.

I bought Behr Ultra white paint last year from Home Depot, for both my ceiling and walls, but decided to wait until my retirement to actually do the painting. I retired in February, and, in September, decided to tint both the ceiling and wall paint, and went to Home Depot to get the paint tinted. When the paint was ready, I asked the associate what the charge was (for the tinting), and remarked that I had purchased the paint almost a year ago. He told me that there was no charge for tinting, but that I would not be allowed to leave until I was cleared, and thus began a most humiliating experience.
For at least 20 minutes I was held at the store, as they tried to verify that I hadn't stolen the paint. I told the person heading the investigation that all he needed to do was check the surveillance cameras to see that I had entered the store with the paint about 30 minutes earlier, and all would be settled. But he told me that was not the issue, presumably implying that I might have stolen the paint at an earlier time, and returned to have it tinted (because any tinting, he said, is required at the time of purchase).
Eventually, I was allowed to leave, but not before being talked down to in a very condescending way. I don't know what has happened to Home Depot over the years, but, because I did all of my home improvement shopping there, my daughters had surprised me with $1000 worth of gift cards there. Thrilled as I was, the customer service has taken a serious dive recently. Adding my recent experience to those I had heard of over the past few months from relatives, I have decided to throw my business to Lowe’s.

I am going to fast forward to the current condition, because the bottom line is I found the problem and knew what part I needed, so I went back to the store to get help getting the part. I had every stitch of paperwork I initially got from purchase, I even had pictures of the part with the serial numbers on it. I was told if appliances couldn’t help me the order department could order, so I returned last week with all my info in hand.

I was assured this was her job & if anyone could help me, it would be her.
Of course nobody answered that number, left several messages and finally received a call 2 days later. She spewed out phone numbers which I had previously tried to get answers, to no avail.

They can not seem to staff enough people in ANY STORE IN THE COUNTRY, but obviously because the the hiring process SPECIFICALLY WEEDS OUT EXPERIENCED OLDER candidates, for younger ones they can pay less money and use THE DANGLING CARROT THEORY of possible full time with benefits.

We bought a big refrigerator 4 years ago and bought the extended warranty, our refrigerator stopped working 2 months ago, on going to 3 months, in the warranty it says that if they cannot fix it they would give us a new one or give us the money back, well we have been 9 weeks with different technicians from different companies coming every week, changing parts and nothing works and they do not solve our problem!! We have been without a refrigerator for nearly 3 months!!! We had to buy another one!! And this one is there standing in our kitchen without working, they haven't given our money back neither a new one... very angry!

In December 2016, I purchased a condo and began renovating it in Jan 2017. The first placed I called was Home Depot Interiors for an estimate on kitchen cabinet refacing. Only one day after notifying them I was scheduled for an appointment for 3 days later. An estimate was given the same day and financing approved. On March 20, 2017 the installers arrived @ 9:00AM and left that afternoon @ 4:30PM. Once the installers arrived they inspected the work area and inventoried the space. A Pre-Existing Condition form was filled out and signed by both parties. The form annotated that my appliances which included the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher were new. In addition it stated that my laminate flooring was also new.
During the first day the installers sanded the cabinets which required them to move the appliances away from the walls to get to all sides of the cabinets. Prior to leaving that evening the appliances were moved back into place. Approximately 2 hours after the installers left, I went into my kitchen to find half of floor covered in water and my flooring laminated damaged. After getting up the water, I noticed water coming from behind my refrigerator. Apparently, the refrigerator water line had come loose and water leaking. I attempted to reach someone at Home Depot Interiors and the office was closed. I knew that the installers were planning to come the next day to complete the job, so I would let them know first thing that morning. The month of March was not very kind to me at all. In addition to problems with my new condo, I learned that I had cancer.
On March 21, the installer came in and was told about the floor and reviewed the damages. They called and reported the incident and by that evening the Home Depot Interiors manager reached out to me to apologize and asked for estimates to repair the damages. The installers left that evening, apologizing for the floor and assuring me that it would be taken care of. A few days later estimates for water migration and kitchen repair and pictures were forwarded. In turn the Home Depot Interior Manager, let me know that he was forwarding the pictures and estimates to Risk Management. A day later I received a call from Sedgwick at 3rd party management company. The male representative was rude and appeared to be angry. He questioned where I had purchased the refrigerator and I told him that I had purchased it and it was installed by Home Depot.
To this day I can't understand why he was angry, I was the one dealing with this situation during the worst period of my life. Approximately 3 weeks later I received a letter stating that Nationwide was handling my Property Damage claim. After back and forth via email and by telephone with the representative and another month later a recorded statement was taken.The last time I received correspondence, Nationwide was trying to get a statement from the installers. I have called and email several times to find out that the rep was on leave. So as of August 28, over 5 months later, I have yet to receive repayment for the damage of my kitchen. I was questioned as to whether the repairs had been made. Was I really suppose to live without a kitchen for 5 months? Had I damaged anything in Home Depot, I would have had to pay for it. Why am I being treated as less than?
I have spent over $15,000 in Home Depot in 6 months for cabinet refacing, appliances, lighting etc and they can not repay me for 1,381.86 water migration and $2,630.15 for kitchen repairs which includes floor replacement, cabinet repair, painting and labor. I cannot believe that a major corporation like Home Depot would do anyone this way. I have been through a lot this year to include chemo and radiation but the treatment and disrespect of Home Depot has been stressful and painful as well. I encourage everyone to review your installers at all times and make sure everything is as it should be before they leave. It does not pay to be trusting and kind it appears. Had I behaved belligerently and hostile, I probably would have been repaid by now.

Home Depot has routinely had poor customer service in store, but avoid delivery at all cost! We ordered a double vanity. Delivery never arrived after spending 8.5 hours waiting. Apparently, Home Depot caters to people that have nothing to do but wait for deliveries (that never come). After three phone calls, a now nine hour day waiting, and an email indicating the product has been delivered; my $1200 vanity not at my house. Recommendation: Spend the extra money and buy from a company that cares about its customer(s)! Horrible company!

Recently purchased toggle switch, Garner Bender GSW-11, to be used to turn on a small pump which was wired parallel with a voltage monitor because it is in series with a pressure sensor. Upon energizing the circuit, I noted that the voltage monitor indicated the presence of current even with the switch turned off. Measuring the leakage current on a short circuit, it was observed that 15 mA was still flowing through the switch in the off position. I attempted to post this review on the Home Depot site, but it was rejected as "inappropriate", so it appears that HD has no concern for the safety of its customers.

Let me start by saying that, in the decades of purchasing products and services, this is my first bad review of any individual or company. I realize that there are many, unscrupulous customers that write bad reviews, but my friend (who is the customer in this review) has spent thousands of dollars at Home Depot to remodel 2 bathrooms, replace appliances in her kitchen, yard equipment, etc. As far as the products that Home Depot sells, we have always been pleased with them, and the service that we receive from our LOCAL (Walker County, Alabama) Home Depot store.
At the end of 05-2017, my friend called her LOCAL Home Depot (to support her local economy) to inquire about replacing gutters, and they referred her to NATIONAL Home Depot sales. She contacted NATIONAL, which told her that an estimator would contact her. Afterwards, the estimator (Richard **) called her, and set up an appointment to come out to her house, which he did around 06-02-17.
My friend felt more comfortable with me being there to ask questions, so I was there when ** arrived. Following the estimate of $1,412.00, I asked ** four (4) times whether these would be Home Depot employees doing the work and if this would benefit the LOCAL Home Depot (again, as my friend does what she can to support her local economy). ** was very evasive, and when pushed, stated to me that these were "Home Depot crews" and that the sale would benefit the LOCAL Home Depot, as it was "in his region". Both resulted in untruths, as Drain Right Gutters in Shelby County, Alabama (who did excellent work and would recommend) were contracted by Home Depot (Nashville, Tennessee), which also the derived the economic benefit.
Furthermore, my friend (who is off work on Fridays during the summer) told ** that she wanted the work to be done on a Friday. He stated that that would be "no problem". We did not believe there was going to be a problem, since ** claimed that it was a "Home Depot crew", and we presumed that Home Depot had total control over "its crews". The purchase price for materials and installation was paid that day.
Home Depot (Nashville?) contacted my friend to schedule the installation on a Friday in late 06-2017, but canceled later. Again, Home Depot (Nashville?) called my friend to reschedule installation on another Friday in mid 07-2017, and that was canceled. Then, around 08-01-17, Drain Right Gutters contacted my friend to schedule installation, whereupon she asked them the reason for their call, as we were under the impression that a "Home Depot crew" was coming out.
Drain Right told my friend that they do all gutter installations for Home Depot in the area, and that they could do the work on Thursday, 08-03-17. My friend advised them that she requested that the work be done on a Friday, as this would be her last Friday off of work for the summer. Drain Right advised her that the work could not be that Friday and, that if the work could not be done on Thursday, they would have to reschedule for another 2-3 weeks. Now it has been 2+ months since the order was paid for, and my friend (very disgruntled) told Drain Right that they could come out on Thursday. As my friend again felt more comfortable with me being there during the installation, both of us took off of work.
When Drain Right arrived on Thursday, but before work commenced, I contacted Barbara at Home Depot (Atlanta, Georgia- home office) to express our displeasure about the entire transaction. She transferred the call to Kimberly at Home Depot (Nashville). I advised Kimberly of all that had transpired, and requested a resolution (possibly a small reduction in the purchase price) or the order would be canceled. Kimberly told me that she would talk to her supervisor and call me right back; therefore, I did not get her direct number. After about 30 minutes and no call from Kimberly, we allowed Drain Right to start the installation. Kimberly never contacted us back.
Around 08-09-17 and 08-11-17, I left Barbara at Home Depot (Atlanta) telephone messages to get Kimberly's telephone number, but Barbara never called back. Thereafter on 08-11-17, I spoke with LaDeja **, Resolutions Expediter at Home Depot (Kennesaw, Georgia), who was very helpful and polite. Through Ms. **, I was able to acquire Kimberly's telephone number.
Due to it being after hours on a Friday, I contacted Kimberly around 08-14-17. She told me that she had contacted Glen ** with Customer Care at Home Depot (Nashville) on 08-03-17, and emailed him three (3) times to contact me. I asked Kimberly to have Mr. ** contact ME directly. I appreciate Kimberly's efforts, but would have liked her to have called me back on 08-03-17 (as she said that she was) and been more diligent in following up with Mr. **.
Around 08-14-17, Mr. ** contacted my friend (contrary to what I had requested of Kimberly) at work, but she was in a meeting. After her meeting, she called me and told me that Mr. ** had tried calling HER at work. I contacted Mr. ** that day, explained to him all that had transpired (particularly the misrepresentation about the "Home Depot crew" and that we could have hired the same company for half the price), and respectfully requested a small reduction in the purchase price for all of the inconvenience. He was very disrespectful and condescending, tried to make it seem that everything was OUR fault, said that we were paying for the "Home Depot warranty" (which he did not know what it was and then stated "lifetime", as to rush me off the subject) and mentioned a "gift card" in passing. He said that he would speak with his supervisor and call me back.
After receiving no call, I contacted Mr. ** on 08-15-17, and asked if he had spoken to his supervisor. He said that his supervisor to him that "there was nothing that he could do". When asked why he did not call me after speaking to his supervisor (as he said he was going to do) and about the "gift card", Mr. ** became even more rude and condescending (like I was bothering him) and again stated that there was nothing to be done.
In closing, Home Depot's products (and LOCAL service) are excellent. However, if anyone is thinking about any flooring, roofing, remodeling work, do not go through Home Depot. They contract their work out and charge almost two (2) times what the contractor would charge. Do your homework, research reputable contractors, and have the same work done for about half the cost.

So went thru Home Depot to have wood laminating flooring done on our entire area downstairs (family room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom). They came out. Did the inspection and said two days for install. Ordered the material to what they recommended. Had material delivered and the molding was all damaged. Called. Told them that all molding was damage, they stated to bring it back. Told them the molding was quite long over 12 feet long. They stated I still had to bring it back myself. Ok. So took it back. Ordered new molding and they stated they would charge $98 for delivery, what you delivered crappy stuff to me and ask to charge me again for delivery.
So call the Romanoff Installation of Home Depot company (ok this gets really good now, recommend run and run fast from this company). They told me "ok we can do this in one day..." "What no way" I said. So she looked over my paperwork and stated "Ok we can do this in two days." I told them "lets start on Wed and I have vacation until Friday. That gives you three days." They said "Ok be there 8-10 am." They did not show until 12:30. The lead shows up. He's only 20 years old and his friend is 17 years old.
Two kids to do a major install, forgot to tell they had to remove all carpeting and old molding in all rooms. He got additional help later in the day with 2 other 17 year olds. So next day says "we be back at 10," shows up at 10:45. works till 4 pm. Asked since next day is Friday what time he will be here, tells me he has another job to do so would have to wait. Now it's a week later. Tuesday they show up at 10:50 and quit at 4 pm. Still not done with flooring. Today suppose to finish flooring (day 4) but it's 1130 and no one shows. Pls take my advise and stay away from them. Two weeks and still going!

I placed an order for custom blinds on 12/7 of 2016. I opted to pay the bill in full immediately, and put this on our credit card. There were some issues with the drapes when we were sent the wrong blinds. This had to be reordered and the installer came back out several weeks later to install that remaining blind. I wrote him a good review as he had done his job well. Several weeks ago I received a call from Home Depot saying we still owed around $114 on our bill, with no explanation as to why. I called them back and the person I spoke with couldn't see any amounts that I owed, so she said it must have been a mistake. I assumed they had mistaken me for another customer, until I received a letter from Kenneth ** dated 7/25 saying that if the bill wasn't paid it would be turned over to a collection agency.
I sent him a certified letter requesting additional information for exactly what the amount was for. I also called Home Depot again and was given an explanation that their system had made an error and did not charge sales tax on the order. I requested more information and was passed to several departments before finally getting the voicemail of customer service. I left a voicemail requesting more information and for someone to call. I received NO phone call and no response from Mr. **, but rather yesterday in the mail I received a letter from a collection agency demanding payment. I have impeccable credit, and ALWAYS pay my bills on time, so I went ahead and paid this online rather than allow Home Depot to affect my credit.
I believe that Home Depot's tactics border on fraudulent at best, - that MANY months after a sale is made the first contact they make with a customer is to demand payment without any documentation to prove their claim, and then they simply turn the matter over to a collection agency. There are MANY other options of stores in our area, - and I will be using any one of them from now on, and sharing my story with as many people as I possibly can.

I purchased a $30,000 home remodeling project. It was supposed to take five days. 6 months later, the kitchen is half done. I have called repeatedly and have had to take off multiple days of work for contractors to come and re-measure to get the appropriate cabinet sizes. They have come by 4 times and still have no idea what products are still missing when I call and ask them when they are coming back to finish the job.
In addition, the quality is extremely poor. The "wood" cabinets are really more like MDF. The craftsmanship is extremely poor–with nail holes, mismatched wood pieces. I can go on and on... Extremely disappointed. I finally called Home Depot Corporate office and they were of no help. There is nobody from Home Depot that I can call to hold these contractor people accountable. It's incredibly frustrating and I will never use Home Depot again for any project.

After getting prices from several contractors and consulting online reviews I chose Home Depot to carry out our kitchen upgrade, i.e. replacing laminate countertops with quartz ones, repairing under-sink cabinet, installing cabinet pull-out shelves & installing a new sink with faucet, water filter & instant hot water system. Because our daughter's wedding & reception were going to happen in our home, they were given a 60-day deadline or if not possible, not to begin the upgrade until after the event. Home Depot contracted to get the job completed before the event. The process & final workmanship is acceptable but not great.
We were told to empty kitchen cabinets but not warned about dust that would cover every item in the surrounding areas, so every fork, every plate required washing. Several kitchen-less days later when the quartz counters arrived, there was confusion between workmen about who was responsible for installing windowsills vs. backsplash vs. trim... & when. Home Depot’s coordination of tasks was sub-optimal & communication with me was even worse. My repeated calls, voicemails & text messages were mostly ignored. Home Depot, employed for its expertise in construction management, failed in this regard. I was left feeling like I was an annoyance they wished would go away. The job was not completed before the family event. I do not recommend Home Depot's contractors services.

Home DeNOT sold a business a $1297 refrigerator for their office on a business account and an extended warranty for $150. When the refrigerator turn 13 months old it stopped working. Warranty dept sent out repairman who came 3 times and couldn't fix it. Then suddenly the warranty dept wouldn't cover it because it is in a business. After arguing with them that they sold a business on a business account an extended warranty that they wouldn't honor they agreed to fix the refrig then they would cancel the warranty and refund the price of the warranty. Bottomline they never did get it fixed after 5 visits and now they refuse to do any more repairs on it.

Went to home depot on 8-5-17 to purchase a few things, among them a Ryobi electric 18v trimmer. Take it home. Unbox it. First of all, it was repackaged. Second, it was repackaged so poorly it was obvious. I put the battery on the charger and check out the rest of it. Upon looking it over I found scuff marks on the battery, and light bump marks on the trimmer head. Obviously used. Not in grass, but definitely purchased, returned, and reshelved. Okay, I'll try it out, no big deal, maybe the other customer didn't want it for some random reason. I waited for the battery to charge. It blinked for at minimum an hour and a half. (18V in manual says it takes an hour to charge.) I now know why the trimmer was returned in the first place.
I call the store. I want to be cutting my lawn. Not going back to Home Depot because they couldn't be bothered to RTV something that was obviously defective. He says come back at my convenience, we'll "make it right." No convenient time to fix someone else's screw up, so I decided to deal with it immediately, before they could say, "oh yeah, you used it, that's why it was used." On returning to the store in Dawsonville I spoke with a nice girl who was perfectly pleasant. Asked if I wanted the money back. I said, "No, I'd like an exchange with a discount for the inconvenience." She gets a manager. Here is where it goes bad.
A manager named DeWayne (I'll never forget his name.) comes over, I explain the whole thing to him. Not only is he rude. No "Hey, my name is, blahblah *hand shake*" or anything like that. Just... he claims it wasn't used. I said it was. He repeats himself. I repeat myself. He claims he's not trying to call me a liar. I told him the battery wasn't holding charge after being on the charger for almost two hours and it was scuffed, I didn't bother mentioning the bump marks because they were faint. Maybe pressed a couple times, nothing serious. He then tries to catch me in a lie mathematically based on the time of purchase to return for the amount of time I left the battery to charge and fails miserably because I wasn't lying.
This is the part where I got pissed off. Not only was that NOT MY ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE, but it was obviously why the previous customer returned the item. Now I said I wanted a discount. I wasn't thinking sun and moon, here. I was thinking like, 5%. Cover the gas I had to waste coming back. A little "Hey, sorry about that, man." Whatever. Move on with our lives. No big deal. But no. Instead he gets another manager after I ask for my money back instead of the exchange. Upon getting him, they have a quick quiet conversation not ten feet away from me before coming over. Can you say 'obvious'? Like two people can't consecutively lie? C'mon. What a waste of time and money.
Not real smart when someone is purchasing a POWER ONE Ryobi SYSTEM. Where did you think I was going to buy the extra battery and other tools? Yup. Not anymore. Not real smart at all, when Wally World is literally right next door. No wonder Home Depot has a one star rating on Consumer Affairs. The Dawsonville Home Depot isn't even listed on the BBB, but the ones nearby are, and are getting slaughtered.

I bought $80 worth of impatiens plants this summer from the Home Depot. Every one of them contracted downy mildew disease, a disease that had been infecting these plants for the last few years. None of the plants survived. My complaint is that Home Depot continues to sell impatiens (through their contractor, Bell Nurseries) with full knowledge that this disease will occur, thereby leaving the customer with nothing for their money. Home Depot should at least warn customers that they are taking a risk when buying impatiens at their stores. Unfortunately, there are no refunds at Home Depot for bedding plants, so I am out $80, as are many other customers who bought impatiens. Home Depot should discontinue carrying these plants in Maryland until a cure for downy mildew is found.

After ordering a washer and dryer, hoses, vent hose, delivery and installation from Home Depot online with no problems, all that needed to be done was to deliver the washer and dryer from the warehouse to my daughter's apartment. Apparently that was just was too difficult for the contracted company to be able to handle. The first time the delivery was attempted (yes there was more than one attempt!) there was no call the night before as expected, there was no call the morning of the delivery, and apparently the washer and dryer left the warehouse but never made it onto the truck. Hmmm - where did they go? After missing the delivery window came and went, along with multiple calls to the Home Depot number - who by the way were the only good part of this process and actually did compensate me for the problems - and calls the delivery dispatch unit did they confirm that the W&D did make it onto the truck but nobody on the truck knew about it!
OK - stupid mistake but let's try again the following weekend. Delivery attempt number two. No call the night before. Call to HD - "Oh yes, it's scheduled for the next morning between 7:00 and Noon. But did you order two sets?" "No, there should only be one washer and one dryer being delivered." (oy vey!) Next morning - no call between 7:00 and noon. Start the process again of tracking down where the hell the washer and dryer are. Delivery dispatch claims there were multiple calls that morning at 7:20 and the delivery guys were waiting in the parking lot till 7:50. HELLO? Why did they not go to the door and ring the bell since they were expected? So they left.
More calls back and forth ensue - ok the truck is in two cities over and they will deliver by the end of the day (7:00PM) Fast Forward to 7:00 PM - no delivery - surprised? no, you're not, are you? Called dispatch again - the truck actually runs until 9:30. Fast forward again - nothing by 9:45 PM. Next day I'm contacting HD and canceling the order because I am done with this crap!

I purchased a Titan battery for my elderly father's car on 03/20/16 after one year it stop working. I followed the recommended steps to take to get the battery checked at the local auto parts store. They told me it would not hold a charge. I took the battery to the Home Depot (San Antonio, Texas Bandera #6547), they told me they would not honor the warranty, that their warranty is good for only 90 days. There is no place on the receipt or posted anywhere that states they are obligated for 90 days. In fact, where the batteries are displayed there is a sign posted stating, "two year warranty". They would not assist me in this matter they told me to contact the company.
The manufacturer Exide that makes the battery their customer service is just as worst as Home Depot no help there. In addition, the manager at Home Depot explained: "that they could not swap me a new battery for the non-working one because they cannot store environmental hazard materials in their store". Which I thought was odd because half of their products they sale are environmental hazard materials. I have spent thousands of dollars at Home Depot for all my remodelling projects in the last 3 years, I told the manager that if they cannot back up their warranty on their products. I would be shopping at Lowe's for all my future purchases.

During last year's Florida Hurricane - a tree fell on the roof of my Palm Coast Florida home. In December of 2016, I contracted with Home Depot to replace the roof completely at a cost of $9821.93. Waited 3 months because of big back log but did not mind as I have had numerous home remodeling projects performed by H.D. a company I trusted 100%. The new roof was installed perfectly - crew was excellent and job was completed Feb. 2nd, 2017. I paid for the job same day on a H.D. credit card. Problem resulted a few days later when H.D. removed a large Steel container with roofing trash from the property.
The truck driver somehow got off the driveway with the long trash container and truck moving back and forth across the width of the concrete driveway. The container and truck tore deeply into the lawn leaving wide deep truck tracks far out onto the lawns. The metal container wheels gouged the cement. Eventually after many back and forth attempts to get the truck/container free, the H.D. driver flagged down someone with a big truck to help him get out of the lawn and off the driveway. Between the loaded H.D. Container truck and the large second truck up on the driveway, a section of concrete sheared and a large slab of driveway sunk almost 2". Photos were taken by the H.D. Job supervisor and myself.
The supervisor acknowledged and apologized for the damages to both the lawns and driveway, and told me it would be resolved quickly. It's now 5 months since this comedy of errors and after numerous phone calls, high quality photo submissions, contractor quotes for repairs to the driveway ($1700), a legitimate claim for damages was refused by Home Depot's, Sedgwick Consumer Complaint Division. Reason - it is not Home Depot's responsibility for damages that the H.D. contractors caused to my property. I contracted with H.D. not its sub contractors - the contractors were paid by H.D. It has been a particularly disheartening and futile pursuit to just get this fixed. I do not want money. I just want the driveway to be repaired. It was fine before H.D. arrived and it is not fine now. Just to complete this venting - do not think that H.D. stands behind any sub contractor it sends to your home - their objective is to shift responsibility to a third party.

I ordered a refrigerator and washer/dryer one week prior to moving from Florida to Boise, Idaho. The refrigerator was to be delivered the day I closed on my new home. The Boise store had the contact number of the person who would be at the home on the day of delivery. The person who took my order was informed that my landline in Florida would no longer be valid; I provided her with my cell phone number so that she had both the person she was to contact, as well as me. The refrigerator was not delivered.
My contact person (builder rep) and I went to the Boise store on July 21st. They promised that the refrigerator would be delivered on July 25th. I confirmed delivery the morning of the 24th. During the evening of the 24th, I received an email stating that the refrigerator was not going to be delivered on the 25th. In fact, they weren't even sure if it would be delivered with my washer/dryer scheduled for the 28th. I cancelled both orders and phoned Lowe's.

Unbelievably bad online service, redacted review online. I was going to purchase a shed from Home Depot and used the "online only" service as I need all deliveries made to my house (age & back issues). Purchased the unit on the 18th July, and waited... and waited... No call, no message... waiting. Emailed deadline expired, received no updates from Home depot. 28 July still no sign of the unit, after emailing and calling Home Depot for 30 minutes (thanks for the music:-)) it appeared that "something happened" and (after 10 days) I could get no immediate delivery although I could arrange something "for the middle of next week".
Too uncertain & late for my contractor so I cancelled and looked elsewhere. Went to a competitor's website (we have only one of these here) got it at a better price including delivery, and immediate email and phone response. Unit was delivered next Monday. However, this was not all, I wrote a comment about the purchase at Home Depot reviews with the intent of warning other elderly people that depend on online services what they were into. Well my review was redacted/refused twice and likely will not appear. (I could not really comment on the shed as it had not been delivered). WARNING: Given my experience I suggest not using the online service of Home Depot. And please take their "reviews" not too serious.

I purchased several products from Home Depot and the products/service was not delivered. Home Depot is a scam business. The service after the sale is non-existent. Customer service is no more than a ear service. The store in my area is and has been mismanaged for as long as it has been in our area. I truly recommend you conduct your business with a local reputable well known business. Where you may think dealing with local small business may not be cost efficient, you should strongly reconsider your thought process. During my experience, had I gone to small local business, my purchase would have been satisfied. Home Depot cannot manage themselves from a corporate level.

I don't even know where to start. What a poorly run company. Placed an order online and realized after I hit submit, the city and zip code were wrong. Called the 800 number within 1/2 hour of my order being placed to correct it only to be told they can't correct things like those. Was advised a cancellation would be submitted for the entire order, which I was okay with and then I just placed a new order with the correct information. Got an email the next day stating my order could not be cancelled, but no reason why. Also got an email that one of my items had shipped. Called again that night only to be advised there was nothing they could do because the vendors are closed in the evening and they would have to call the vendor to cancel or recall the package. Wow... would have been nice to know that the previous evening!
So then I call the following morning and we were able to recall the item that had shipped, but the second item had left the warehouse and was on its way to the trucking company so they couldn't cancel that. Was told to call back the next day in hopes of cancelling. The next day is a Saturday so that's out. Then told to call back Monday as it would be on the truck by then and we could probably cancel. I am taken aback by the lack of customer service and ass backward way they do things at Home Depot. I work in manufacturing and have never seen anything like this. The CEO should be embarrassed by their processes. Do yourself a favor and buy your stuff from your local plumbing warehouse where they actually take care of their customers. Wow.

This is a routine occurrence at my local Home Depot. Customers approach the checkout line and look for a checkout person standing near a cash register to simply scan their merchandise, pay for it and quickly leave... you know, like every other damn store in America. At Home Depot there is automated checkout, which is a time consuming disaster. The machines are non-intuitive with instructions written in small type, so you have to spend time reading instructions for a 12 second checkout process. The difference between credit card payments versus cash payments are not clearly described. If you are lucky enough to have a person check you out, they will ask for a "job number". I am not a Tradesman and shop once per month. I guess automated checkout is OK if the machines WERE INTUITIVE! The technology seems like it is 1987.

Please understand how ridiculous this is, for us to wait so many days, receive no communication on our purchase, and then for it to be sent back to California without any notification. And to be "happy to even get our money back", according to customer service, is very impolite and ignorant.

Within five minutes of arriving, one of the two asked me for a bottle of water to drink and soon after wanted to use my bathroom.
Guess what? 20% of the windows were wrong size. And none of the new windows had grids that I had paid for. And to make matter worse, none of the windows locked properly. So another two weeks before I finally got my windows installed. And here is the kicker. They had already charged my credit card full amount of purchase on the day the first two so-called installers had showed up with wrong windows.

I have shopped and been a HD Pro Account consumer for years and have finally gotten fed up with the lack of attention to the consumer. I recently took back a Ridgid impact gun with the tool rental department making the replacement immediately and within a few weeks again with the same set. I needed a battery replacement of which the tool rental escorted me to the tool aisle to pull a new battery off the shelf and traded it out at the return desk. At the same store in Owasso Oklahoma I once again had to return a Ridgid tool due to failure which was with the drill in the same drill impact combo set.
The same tool rental department took my drill along with now a $18.95 dollar fee to look at the product stating it would be returned after repair. Roughly 15 minutes after leaving the store I received a text stating the product was not covered under warranty and not worth fixing. After a conversation with the tool department representative and then the assistant manager of the store I expressed the careless fraud of the company by taking the consumers money prior to determining the validity of warranty is a poor practice. Both exclaimed they were simply following company policy and had no control over Ridgid or Home Depot and were sorry about my loss of required funds to look at the product. No discussion other than the product was not worth fixing was given as to whether they even looked into the cost of repair.
Now the product was picked up with the entire chuck torn off the drill and an obvious lack of understanding by a technician or lack of technician to properly repair the product. I was told by the Pro Department that they were sorry for the damage caused and that the management has ran off a lot of the good long term help due to poor pay and that it is getting worse every day. They explained that they could not see any reasoning in the selecting or choose and pick process on what gets replaced and what does not since they had just replaced the other products purchased at the same time in the same package. They apologized and stated they would try to discount the next purchase to make up the required up front inspection fee that was not refunded.
Simply put no company that can easily pull up a serial number on their computer system should be in a practice of high jacking the consumer on an inspection fee prior to a proper notification of coverage in warranty nor should they be choosing a random practice of who or what gets repaired at random. Buyers beware of the so called "Life Time Guarantee" by Home Depot and Ridgid. Just another note, this same store rarely is manning their departments so if you need something plan on discoing and loading it all yourself.

As a contractor for many years and an avid purchaser of Home Depot products, I must confess how sad the stores have become in just a short time. I purchase from Depot almost on a daily basis. As I enter the stores with my list to get I am usually greeted in a friendly manner which sets the tone for a good shopping experience, but as I enter the lumber department I am confronted with piles and carts full of materials blocking the aisle so that no one can enter or the aisle is blocked off by a caution gate and no one is in the aisle working on stock or nowhere to be found! A particular store in Janesville, Illinois had the aisle blocked for 3 days with the same material. This equates to poor management in my opinion!
I purchase a particular type of lumber for a project I have during the summer months. As I search through the pile for a decent selection, I am pushing more bad lumber to the rear than I am choosing. Another problem I ran into was the bidding table where Depot quotes a price for larger jobs we contractors are bidding on. A great idea! But I was quoted a price for a particular product which in turn I used in my bid to the customer only to find out later that you did not carry that product! So how could you give me an accurate bid? I sadly have started making my purchases at the competition and I couldn't be happier with the quality of their products and I received a 10% discount on my lumber purchase!

I personally prefer Lowe's but Home Depot's delivery date was only a week and Lowes was 10-12 days, so we purchased from Home Depot. I must add that this was for our beach house and we were leaving on the 9th to return home, so we really needed to get a refrigerator asap.
The sales lady told us that when we received it to examine it and refuse it if it was damaged in any way. (That apparently happens a lot even on their showroom models. The outside box isn't damaged but the appliances are bent up, this means they were bent before they were packaged, info courtesy of sales staff). Did I mention it was $3594.11? Well of course it was damaged when they brought it out and was refused, leaving us without a working refrigerator, 2 days of wasted time and a heck of a lot of aggregation.
I decided after the delivery guys left to go back to the North Myrtle Beach store and get a refund, simply because they couldn't even deliver an intact refrigerator. If they can't inspect their products before shipping, that tells me a lot, I guess they were hoping we would pay that kind of money and settle for damaged goods. Not to mention I specifically told them we were without a working refrigerator, the whole darn vacation and still without one.

Furious doesn't even describe how pissed I am. Not one person gave a crap about the whole situation, no manager was contacted, no discount offered not a dern thing.

Buying a LG Refrigerator from Home Depot "think twice". I recently purchased an LG French Door Refrigerator with the Bottom Freezer during the July 4th sale. After the installers delivered and set-up the refrigerator they told me to leave the refrigerator closed for a day so the refrigerator would get to it's factory set temperatures. A day later, after the refrigerator reached it's set temperature I started loading in the food, and noticed each time the door would close it would "slam" shut causing everything in the refrigerator to shake. I started checking the rest of the operation and noticed the water being dispensed from the door was warm. I immediately contacted LG to see If there was something I could do to resolve the issues and was connected to a representative, this was another fiasco. The LG representative continuously referred to another refrigerator and just kept reading the same screen over and over.
I called Home Depot. They scheduled a service tech to come and check it out. The service tech arrived and within two minutes he told me it does not dispense cold water, and when asked about the door slam his reply was "YOU" meaning me, have to shim the refrigerator in the back. I asked why it was my responsibility to shim it, and how do you pull it out to clean behind it if it is shimmed. His response was "that's what needs to be done." I guess when your service call is for two minutes you don't have to fill out paper-work? I called Home Depot and spoke to the manager who advised me nothing could be done. In closing, the large capacity refrigerator I purchased has been drastically reduced to chill my drinking water and to hold the door handle so it doesn't shake everything inside the refrigerator. I also called today to close my Home Depot account.

I have had $11.34 owing on my account for 3 years. I have not received any notice and have not used card in 3 years. There was a positive balance last time I used account. They put a bad credit report on my credit over this and it is holding up getting a mortgage. I have spent 3 hours on the phone with 8 different people to get an e-mail stating my balance is 0 as I paid this 2 weeks ago. This company states they cannot break their rules and e-mail statements as it is not secure but they have no problem allowing me to buy things from them online, I guess this is more secure.
After 3 hours they say they can send me a fax but this will take 4 or 5 days as they need approval. Do not get a card with these people as any simple requests to get your own info on your account will be a huge lesson in bad customer service and if you don't use account they will refuse to give you any back history. Beware. Lesson learned and be sure I will tell everyone I know about this. Bad credit for $11.34 that I was never made aware of.

My 76 year old mother ordered custom blinds in July 2016 - yes, 2016 - and Home Depot has still not completed the order to her satisfaction. The Home Depot decorating consultant was so rushed that my mother felt pressured to choose a color on the spot from a very limited selection. We first saw the blinds five months later, on December 7th, 2016 when the installer finally arrived. Of course, the colour was wrong and we have been trying to get it corrected since then, only to be told that the return window is 10 days from original purchase. This, after having to wait months for delivery!
My mother is now stuck with almost $3,000 worth of blinds that are not what she wanted. Home Depot is defending their flawed process, even up to the district service manager. Clearly, their satisfaction guarantee is meaningless and has left us feeling quite frustrated overall. At this point, to make it right, Home Depot should actually honour their satisfaction guarantee and offer a full refund.

Home Depot of Brighton, MI installed new carpet in a rental property of mine in 2013. My tenant moved out in April 2017 and although they never told me of any issues with the carpet, it was immediately obvious when I entered the home. The fibers are falling out of the backing. I hired a carpet repair technician to stretch and re-tack the carpet that frayed from the transitions around the kitchen area because it looked terrible. He's been doing carpet for 29 years and had never seen this before. He advised me to file a defective carpet claim. When I told him the carpet was over 4 years old, he immediately replied "that doesn't matter, carpet should never do this".
So, I contacted Home Depot where I was directed to Tammy ** who was immediately unprofessional. She repeatedly interrupted my attempts to tell her what the carpet professional had told me only to repeat that she will "need cleaning receipts for every 12-18 months and a sample of the carpet". I asked to speak with her supervisor because I couldn't finish one sentence. I explained to her supervisor, Michael **, I expected Home Depot to be my ally with my defective carpet claim against the manufacturer and I was immediately disheartened by the combativeness with which I was met. Despite not wanting to deal with Tammy, Michael informed me he can't help me, "no one else knows how to do her job, she is the only one who can help you".
I decided to try to deal directly with the manufacturer. I spoke with Letesha at the manufacturer who assured me they stand behind their product and will process the claim asap when Home Depot files it, but that Home Depot needs to file the claim not the customer. After several phone calls, I went in to deal with Tammy face to face last Friday. I told her I had spoken with the manufacturer who agreed to process the claim if she would just file it. She made a call to the installer while I waited because she said the claim goes through the installer not the mill. When I left she was waiting to hear back from the installer but promised to call back no later than Monday or Tuesday... today is Thursday and it's the 3rd time she has failed to get back to me or Letesha as promised. She simply needs to stop whatever this is and file the claim.

If there was a negative scale from which to choose, it would be -100!!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER using them to install anything. I learned the hard way. Not one step of the long, arduous process went correctly. When they came to measure, they left out 2 rooms. Really! How is that even possible? It just got worse from there. Absolutely no communication between departments within the store so I shudder to think of how they would manage to communicate with the outside company, HOM Solutions, which has even worse reviews. They also don't communicate with each other. This entire ordeal was a total Cluster **. I don't think the manager of the store could find his way out of a paper bag and customer "service" is a joke! My case eventually went to the "Executive Resolutions" department in Atlanta. Guess what, they weren't any better. Nothing was ever resolved and I ended up sending the flooring back to the store. They even got that wrong.
Truly unbelievable. Don't know how the CEO goes out in public. I'd be too embarrassed. I found out later (after my fiasco) that some friends of mine had a washer/dryer installed. After about a year, the dryer started popping and then exploded putting a hole in the wall. The installers had used improper screws too close to wiring and this caused arcing of the electrical system. If they hadn't been home, their house could have burned down. Talk about negligence and incompetence!! These are the descriptive terms I'd use to describe this store: apathetic, incompetent, inconsiderate (I was awoken by phone on 2 occasions for no reason) and just plain pitiful.

So we went to the customer service desk and they had to call the gardening center, so after they got that figured out, they asked which lawn mower we would like to purchase. We said the one without the flat tire, cause there were some out there with flat tires, after an hour of them trying to figure out how to sell the lawn mower they said it does not have a sku number in the system.
So they called store manager and that person said she does not know what to do and I said, “You have $50,000 in inventory in lawnmowers and you can’t sell one cause it has no sku number” and she said, “Sorry I don't know what to do.” So we went to North 40 and bought one.

I doubt that this company cares, but they have lost a customer for life today. I will NEVER spend another penny in your store. My husband and I went to look at carpeting in the Livonia, Michigan Store #2742 on May 22, 2017. Our salesperson told us that we would have to pay for someone to come measure and that our carpet should be installed within two weeks. The first available date for someone to come measure was May 26, 2017. My husband went in as soon as the quote was ready to pay for our carpeting, pad, and installation.
Imagine our surprise after being told that our carpet could be installed within two weeks when our first available delivery/installation date was June 22, 2017. Our salesperson was off by two full weeks from what we were promised. Yesterday when we still hadn't heard about an installation time we called to inquire. We were given an ELEVEN HOUR window for a phone call regarding installation. For crying out loud, the cable company does better than that!
Today my husband was called and told that our carpet would not be installed today because the van broke down. Expecting to hear that we would have our carpet tomorrow, imagine our shock when he was told that the "first convenient time for installation of our carpeting is July 6, 2017" which is two full weeks from now. Convenient for who? Surely not convenient for us since our bedroom has been cleared of furniture and the tile on our basement stairs has been removed. Lesson learned the hard way.
Big box stores don't care about their customers. Home Depot failed us when they promised two week delivery/installation. Home Depot failed us when they couldn't do better than an ELEVEN HOUR window for a phone call. Home Depot failed us when because of something that we have no control over they want us to wait another two weeks for delivery/installation of something that is already paid for. No thank you, I will take a full refund including the money I had to pay for you to come measure. How about you pay me for the 1/2 day that I had to take off work for the measuring and for the ELEVEN HOUR window that I was suppose to sit by the phone waiting for a call today? Somehow, I don't think that Home Depot would find that "convenient".

I would like to submit a complaint: I went to the Store closest to my house 77382 which is the Home Depot in Magnolia to buy an exterior door and wood panels. It was 6:45 pm when I got to the store and requested a rental to take the things home as that specific door was not available for free shipping even though all the other models were (5 miles from the store). After taking my information I was asked to pay at a register and return to rental to finish with the truck rental agreement. When I returned the associate who was new couldn't figure out how to do it, couldn't reach anybody to help him. Time was passing and we waited patiently.
Finally at 7:33 pm he got it done and another associate came by and told us that we had to pay a whole day rental and not 1 hour rental as we had agreed to because the store was closing at 8 pm and would not be able to return the car before that. After a discussion I agreed to pay the full day and proceed to the car to unlock it and the associate couldn't find the key to unlock the steering wheel, it was already 7:55 pm. I decided to cancel the rental and find another way to get my merchandise home, which another customer in the store offered to help us after he witnessed the whole ordeal for over an hour. This behavior is unacceptable and it made me wonder if I could have done anything different to avoid this situation. I honestly did everything I could but the associates on the floor on Sunday evening had no idea how to treat customers.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced is at this location. The person behind the register completed the return transaction prior to mine, looked me directly in the eye, turn around, walk down the aisle behind him wondering aimlessly as if he were looking for something, walk back down the opposite aisle, stopped to whisper in another associate's ear, laugh about whatever they were talking about, walk back to the return counter, fumbling with the register next to the return register, takes out the register tape, installs it into the return register, then looks up and asks if he can help me. The fact that he couldn't even acknowledge a customer waiting in line to return merchandise and that his time was more valuable than mine, didn't set well with me in terms of respect to the customer.
I won't elaborate on what transpired after that, but what I can say is that it wasn't pretty.

If I could give ZERO stars I would! We ordered over $1500 worth of fence supplies to be delivered to our 'new' address on June 17th between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, (we were at the address by 8:00 am), and at around noon on June 17th the delivery had not been made. I called Home Depot (Ewing, NJ 609-393-3697) and confirmed our delivery was out for transport. After waiting on the phone and being passed around to several people Bill (no last name provided) who was referred to as the "the big boss" spoke to me and confirmed that the supplies were out on the truck and would be at the address stated above before the end of the day.
A little after 5:00 pm a call was received from Home Depot explaining that we would NOT be receiving our order because, "the items were never on the truck." So, after calling six times throughout the day to make certain that the fencing and assorted other supplies were on their way and having confirmed this with Home Depot call takers and Bill, the boss/manager we were ultimately told it was "NEVER LOADED ON THE TRUCK". When I said to Bill that it was necessary for the supplies to be delivered on that date because we had contractors scheduled to set posts that weekend he actually SNICKERED and said, "All I can tell you is that there is NO WAY that your order will be delivered today or tomorrow." Seriously, he laughed at me.
Now, this is where I need to point out several key things. The "boss/manager" whoever he is stated that it was a computer issue and that the computer was saying the merchandise was on the truck and out for delivery and that he had no way of knowing if it was on the truck. I ask you this, does no one CHECK to make sure what is supposed to be on a truck is actually LOADED ON THE VEHICLE? If not this might be something to check. Then to check with several people throughout the day who CONFIRMED this misinformation in the computer and then talk to a so-called boss/manager who offered nothing in the way of assistance other than to say, "There's nothing I can do, it's not our fault, and we use an outside contractor for delivery." Well, that is horrible customer service.
Finally, my husband calls back because at this point after talking to so many people and being treated unprofessionally, I figured perhaps he could maybe get somewhere. Bill then says that he will credit us $250.00 for our troubles based on the contractor we had scheduled to do work, and that he would guarantee the delivery first thing Monday. Now, Monday rolls around and not one but two trucks come at two separate times to deliver supplies. However, no paperwork was provided, no invoice was offered and the fence supplies dumped on the ground unwrapped. No pallet. Nothing. Okay, so we have the fencing, I thought, but then my husband receives a telephone call from J.B. **, when he speaks to the caller they state they are "on their way" and wanted to confirm the address of the delivery and that they were trying to beat the incoming storm.
I turn around and go back to the address of our new home figuring that the whole order must not have been delivered. J.B. ** informed us via a telephone call they have items "wrapped up" on the truck for delivery. Now, since we have zero paperwork and we did not sign off on this delivery I have no idea if we have our full order. I call the store AGAIN and Bill (manager) speaks through two different people saying the delivery was made and if I want any paperwork or the refund, I must present myself at the Ewing, NJ store to obtain it.
Two full days of my time, one Saturday wasted waiting for a delivery that was never on the truck, having to reschedule contractor who was doing us a favor working on the weekend and then a whole day using time from work to sit and wait at the address for guaranteed delivery on Monday June 19, because Home Depot failed to keep their promise and still no one knows what actually goes on with respect to big orders. Two separate delivery trucks, then an third calling and saying they have more of our order and will be there shortly, and then they do not show up or call. Does anyone really know what is going on logistically over there because it certainly does not seem like it?
This was the worst experience I have ever had ordering anything for delivery. I have never spent this much money on something and not been required to sign a delivery confirmation and I have never been treated in such an unprofessional manner (seriously he laughed and said there was no way it would get there by the time we needed). This experience was horrible and I will never use Home Depot for any other home projects as the company is unreliable and places blame on everyone other than themselves and fails to right the situation. Thank you for showing me that Lowe's will be my new go to store for home improvements.

Was tossed around for 15 minutes on hold before a polite/decent person answered and was told that my delivery was "made yesterday in full." Could hear "BILL" telling this gentleman what to say. I asked WHY then did J.B. ** call and state they had items wrapped on their truck for us if it was delivered in full? Could hear Bill tell James we had all our items. Figured I was not going to get anywhere thanked him and had my husband call.
Husband just informed me that our order was NOT delivered in FULL and that additional hardware REQUIRED FOR THE FENCE installation was NOT in fact delivered yesterday in the two separate trucks that came to our new address. What is going on HOME DEPOT? We STILL do not have our ENTIRE order, work has been halted and now we may not be able to schedule the fence contractor for two months out at the SOONEST available date/time. On top of this it appears NO ONE at this store is giving us the same answers! To add insult to injury, we were informed we would have to present ourselves in the Ewing Home Depot to receive a gift card and refund from this fiasco. Seriously? Wow, I don't think we could have been inconvenienced any further than we already have. This is ridiculous.

HD did not tell me when I rented a tool that I was being charged a 10% fee for a damage waiver. When I returned the undamaged tool on time, I asked why cost was so high and was told that the governor gets his money. I challenged that since I was clearly being charged more than the rental fee with state taxes. The clerk pretended to check the detail of the charges on his register to discover that there was a charge for a damage waiver. I refused to pay it and he accepted that agreed rental fee plus the lawful tax charge.
A couple of days later I went to rent the exact same tool at the same HD. This time I caught the fact, when asked to agree to the rental fee, that I was being overcharged. The clerk, a different one than the first, had also tried to sell me the property waiver without my knowledge. When I caught him, he removed the 10% charge. Neither time was I shown a copy of the contract before I was asked to sign and agree to it on the small electronic pad. In the first rental I was never given or shown a copy, but the second time I received a copy after completing the rental agreement. Not before, although I requested to be shown a copy before signing. The second time, I had to get store management involved because of another problem with the rental.
If you do rent from the HD, you will find that their contract provides that damage waiver protection is optional. If it is optional and HD doesn't tell you it is being charged, and especially if you aren't given a copy of the contract, is there any real option? I have just done a little looking and notice that HD has had class actions brought against them in at least two other states. I believe HD prevailed in each, but the issues there were different. What troubles me the most is that in my case HD automatically tried to collect a 10% charge that was supposed to be optional.

The Home Depot in Blairsville, GA appears to be unable to give me the Settlement Verification Code for my return/refund transaction. I was treated very poorly on the evening of June 12, 2017 when I returned merchandise to the Home Depot Store in Blairsville, GA. I returned an item that did not effectively work. The item was originally paid for on a prepaid debit card. I requested cash back for my refund transaction and was informed this could not take place - that they were not "in the business of loaning money." I replied, "But I am? As this item was paid for with a prepaid, re-loadable debit card which is the same as receiving cash." So, here I am, left to wait on my money to be returned while they have the merchandise.
I called the lending institution of the prepaid card and they requested a Settlement Verification Code from Home Depot. It appears that nobody at the Home Depot has even heard of such a code because nobody is willing to give me this code for my refund to be pulled through onto my card. I work in customer service and if a customer were to call us at Amazon.com, any rep, located in any part of the world, is able to give the customer their Settlement Verification Code. I was treated poorly and I'm not in the business of loaning money either, however, it appears that this is exactly what has happened here.

I ordered a FRIDGE thru HomeDepot.com June 11/2017. Within about TWO hours I online chatted with 1 rep/Ethen to CANCEL it. He said cancellation is done, I will receive confirmation soon. Next day June 12, not receiving confirmation I chatted with 2nd rep/Dayton. He said 1st rep DID. Email may not sent yet. But in the evening I received email, "Please note this is NOT a guarantee of cancellation, but we will DO everything we can to complete your request ". Does statement "we will DO everything we can" be acceptable? The cancellation was within about TWO hours after ordering! This NOT a guarantee came after 1 DAY from cancellation. By 2 Home Depot reps.
June 13, I received email, "Your order is on its way to the store" so again I chatted with 3rd rep/Devon to ask WHY? He advised I can cancel at the STORE after arrival. When reading further on Home Depot RETURN POLICY of 365 days/one year, the APPLIANCE can NOT RETURN!! Customer has to "check once receiving it for damage" this means AT the store, WHO can do this with appliance packaging? [Mine is still ON the way, 3rd Rep check arrival June 16.]
To have a RECORD of online chatting, Home Depot posted, "Click on [+] sign BELOW". I asked HD rep where, he said after I get out /X, but there is NO such +, except "Please take time to do Review". I believe IF Home Depot meant to give customer a copy, sign [+] would be in same screen of conversation, why wasting customer time to search for BELOW, while it's AFTER X out, which I also did NOT find it! Luckily, I did Ctrl C to COPY the conversation, therefore I have a record/EVIDENCES.
Assuming I can succeed with a cancellation at the store most likely with the EVIDENCES of my 3 cancellation attempts [TIME gap to change one's mind before contract goes into effect/by law] this means: Home Depot can USE my credit during time allowance for the process of RETURN. IF I'm not ABLE to PAY for my credit card on time, this would mean I have to pay INTEREST/credit card for the money Home Depot used ON my account!! Thanks for reading my complaint!!

The Chicago South Loop store is okay until you order an appliance and then find out that you have to return it. I ordered a range and the delivery team shown up with a damaged unit - a hand sized dent. After it was taking back, I called the store to cancel the order. The calls are hardly ever got answered. Then, if you are lucky to reach the appliance department staff, they are not willing to take the initiative to call the appliance vendor to arrange the return. "I am leaving a notes for my colleagues on Monday (no one would follow up!)", "It was returned on Monday (not true!)", "I called the vendor and was told you need to wait till next Monday".
Then when I call the next Monday, 11 days after the initial request for return, no one is even willing to check the status except "You need to wait for an week (again?)". The customer service desk is not willing to help neither. After phone tag for 45 minutes, I asked to be transferred to the store manager. Was sent to music again, then got this "No one is available to take the call. The mail box is full. Please try again." I even called the vendor, and was told "Yes we can cancel your order. But only the store staff could get the return code. Not the customer."
There is apparently no incentive for the store staff to call and arrange the cancellation. My HD order got notes, but no one seems are hold accountable to follow up. The protocol is broken! The managers are not interested to listen and resolve the broken link!! Do not buy any appliance unless you are absolutely sure that you would never return it. I did not want to return, but the dent in the new unit is really not acceptable. My friend order the same unit in the same week also got a unit with dent. Unfortunately, you have to keep calling (14 times so far and counting) till your order really got cancelled.

The store customer service was awful. Their associates did more to make my shopping experience worse than be a help. Their associates totally ignored me to help other customers when I was waiting first. It took me at least forty-five minutes to get some assistance. Once I finally got some assistance I wanted to purchase a product that had a price of $139 that was on the shelf and the associate told me that they didn't have anymore in the store but they could order it. She wrote down the item number and when she looked the item up it was listed for a price of $219.
The manager came over and told me that they could honor the price that was listed but the other associate refused to sell me the item. The associate then went to the shelf where the product was and took it down and the price and refused to help me anymore. So now after a hour of waiting I left with no product. I also left with no explanation of what was really going on, why she refused to sell me the item, why she refused to help me after her manager said yes, and why she denied me service.

Worst company ever. Their customer service and technology is so incompetent and inefficient, buyer beware! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! I placed an online order on the Friday night. Realizing I made a mistake, I tried canceling it online, thinking their online service is as easy and friendly as that of AMAZON but it's not... I couldn't just click a button to cancel it. I called on Saturday at 6 am to customer service department. They tell me they can't cancel it because it's the weekend and vendors are closed but they will send them a request. On Saturday night I get email from HD saying they can't cancel my order because they already started working on it... IT'S ALL A SCAM once they got your money they will not let it go. Never buying from them again.

I served in the military for 20 years. The cashier at Home Depot would not honor my service with the advertised 10% military discount. I have always presented my DD214 form with my ID as verification of my military service. The DD214 form is the standard certificate the military issues to military veterans confirming their service to this country. My unit does not issue military IDs to its retired veterans because of the high costs it requires. I am very disappointed Home Depot has chosen to reject military veterans who show they have served this country with the DD214 form and photo ID. Not all veterans are issued military IDs... especially years after discharge.
Lowe's not only honors veterans with 10% military savings, they also recognize the DD214 form and provide an additional service to verify military service via their website. I am a verified military veteran in the Lowe's computer system which makes shopping there very convenient and friendly. It was a slap in the face today to be rejected for my many years of service to this country. I, along with as many military personnel as I can communicate to, will start shopping exclusively at Lowe's. Veterans should not be treated so poorly by Home Depot's rigid military discount policy.
