    I called about the 1 purchased 21/2 years ago, that I had the extended warranty on. Over 2hrs on the phone! I had to speak with 5 departments, with mind numbing hold times. The last person I spoke with wanted me to tell why my freezer wasn't working. How would I know? That's why I'm calling them! If you happen to have an extra 2 hrs and you being on hold and enjoy a hassle call Home Depot for service.

    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".

    Ordered AC online, tried to cancel within 1 hr of purchase. Has taken 3 calls to cancel and was given a different explanation each time. I am ill, and was trying to not have to wait for the item. Apparently, the burden is on me to call the 4th time to get the credit, which will take at least a month to get posted to my credit card. Very poor customer service, will never purchase another item from them.

    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. I would rather drive to the Blossom Hill store, on the other side of the valley where they actually helpful and appreciative of your business. Maybe this store could teach the people working at the Santa Clara, CA, Lafayette Street store about customer service at all levels, especially at the management level.

    I placed an order of $2,3000 on 6/15 with expected delivery date of 6/23. I received an email on 6/19 products shipped, estimated delivery 6/29. 9 days later, I called Home Depot, they said that's the est. delivery date to the shipper and then the shipper has to deliver and they follow their own rules so they don't know how long it takes. I said why advertise expected delivery date when it's incorrect. She said, "Good question." I said I purchased based SOLELY on that delivery date, or I would have ordered from another vendor. She said, "Sorry you should have ordered express delivery." I said, "There is NO option for express delivery." So now I have a product coming for people to stand on for opening day, and no product. I have to reschedule our business opening day, which involves hundreds of emails, and notifications. Horrible service but what is more upsetting is the lack of empathy, customer service, or good business practice.

    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.

    UPDATE 06/21. Called the store to verify that the COMPLETE delivery was made. 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.

    For Father’s Day, I made the decision to purchase a new Weber Gas BBQ for my husband. We went in to the Vernon Hills Home Depot, found the right Weber product (Spirit E-310 3 burner propane grill - $499.00) and saw large signs everywhere advertising free shipping for Weber grills if order was placed online. We took one of these large signs to the customer service department in the store to confirm the price and the free shipping. We were informed by the customer service rep - that Oops sorry - of the 10 Weber models in the store the Spirit E-310 was the only one not eligible for free shipping. Although the sign in store clearly read - Free shipping for Weber BBQ's for online orders. He apologized for the clear mistake but said there was nothing he could do.

    Long story short - we ordered the same product from Lowe’s hardware at the same price and with free shipping (took 3 minutes). Home Depot has lost me as a lifelong customer and I am now transferring all my business to Lowe’s.

    I bought a Dewalt battery from the Zachary LA (on 6/17/17 @~5:45 pm store, having been told that Home Depot has an "easy" return/exchange policy. I have owned Dewalt battery operated products for many years and this is the first time I have had one come apart. I paid 99$ and yes it is over a year old; I was wanting another replacement battery. The return clerk and the floor manager said that they could not exchange the battery, I had to take it up with Dewalt. This is a major battery defect. Thus this being my experience with Home Depot I will not be buying batteries (no matter sale) and will be much more reserve in my over all purchases in the future at Home Depot.

    I, like most consumers use the internet to purchase. I am very unsatisfied with my Home Depot shipping experience. The item I order took 8 days to arrive. Home Depot choose to ship the item from Texas and I live in Connecticut. I have 2 stores in my town, but not able to leave my home due to recent surgery. You would think that such a large chain hardware merchant would have several distribution centers. Most online merchants average 4 to 5 business days, or less and also offer free shipping.

    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 would like to have my Settlement Verification Code and the manager, Donny or Danny is his name, needs to learn a bit how to treat customers. Yes, we had paint on our pants, etc... however we'd been painting all day with what? Supplies we'd purchased at Home Depot.

    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.

    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.

    I ordered a washer and dryer a couple of months ago to be delivered in a couple of days. When I called to confirmed the delivery date, the Home Depot IVR stated delivery to my old address - the house I just sold. When I called Home Depot Customer service, they told me that somehow the new address had not be communicated with GE Delivery company - a company with an entirely different set of problems with HORRIBLE service - and that there was not anything Home Depot could do. This was a mistake made by Home Depot, and I had already paid several hundred dollars towards my purchase. It was IMPOSSIBLE to resolve this. The Home Depot mantra seems to be "I can't do anything about this." Beware! I will not shop homedepot.com or Home Depot.

    18 months ago we bought 2 generators online from Home Depot. We used them once or twice but a few weeks ago the power went out and one wouldn't start. We have spent countless hours trying to get the issue resolved and it has been a constant "Pass-the-buck" game. Our local store said they couldn't help because we bought them online. The online people sent us to the extended warranty people who said they didn't have a repair man in the area and it would be $150.00 to send someone out. This is the last time we ever buy anything from them and we have remodeled two houses and built two houses using them for cabinets, lumber, flooring and bathroom fixtures.

    Home Depot, Missoula, Montana. We paid $3,800 CASH for carpet during HD's sale... moving furniture, take out and away old carpet/pad free. Paid. In full. May 1, 2017, with a promise the installation was 3 weeks away. Yesterday, Monday, June 5: installer said HD carpet was short, so he wouldn't install it; Carpet Pros from Spokane said they'd get back to us about different installers from Spokane. Missoula HD Expediter helpful... but stuck now. So, HOME DEPOT! Great promises, but once you have our $$$, we were dropped. WHY?!! Why does your company put customers and employees in this kind of mess?? I promise, HD employees are NOT paid enough to deal with our level of frustration. This can't be good for business. Next time, we will go LOCAL.

    I purchased a BBQ from Home Depot and paid for assembly and delivery. When BBQ was delivered it was on a wooden pallet and had to be removed to get over Belgium block in my driveway. He rolled it to patio and when I asked him to remove plastic wrap and tape, he refused and was rude. When I went out my front door later in day I noticed he left the pallet in my driveway.

    I call Home Depot and was advised that delivery man should not have removed pallet. I got no satisfaction for pallet pickup. It became my headache to find someone with a truck to remove it for me. Afterwards I tried to light BBQ and found igniter didn't work. I called number on my delivery sheet and was told they couldn't find my order and advised me to call the store I purchased it from. I called my local HD on Jericho Turnpike in East Northport. I went from customer service to pro desk back to customer service and was going to be transferred again to the garden department. I asked instead to speak with a manager. I was put on hold for more than five minutes and gave up. I went to the installation directions and noted that there is a battery on ignition. I was able to fix the problem myself (Battery was still wrapped in plastic). I will never deal with Home Depot again.

    I was in Home Depot at the Tustin Market today. I wanted to buy a front load washer. No one could help me. I was told at least 3 times someone would be right with me. I waited literally 45 minutes and no one in the dept. I saw a dented washer on clearance. It was a good deal. I went to the desk in carpet/home improvement where there 3 people doing nothing. I asked if they could help with an appliance if I knew exactly what I wanted. The woman was very nice and she could write it for me. I asked her if she could find out if the washer worked and confirm the damage was just cosmetic. She paged the manager. Once, twice, and no response. This went on for a while and at this point, I said, "Let's just forget about it."

    She felt bad and took me to the customer service desk. They called the manager and asked if he could come to the desk and help me. He did come to the desk but was absolutely no help. He told he didn't think the machine worked. This was after 90 minutes. I asked if he could help me purchase a washer. I obviously was bothering him. He told me there were a lot more choices online. I thanked him for wasting my time and went home and purchased a washer online with Best Buy. On the way out I stopped at the customer service desk and told them the customer service was horrible. She looked at me and didn't even respond. I guess I bother her as well.

    I was in Freehold Home Depot on Thursday 6/1/17, the first person that came to me was a lovely girl behind the service desk whom I have had run up to assist me before. I will not mention her name because there is more. As she was looking in the computer for me, an obnoxiously loud lady said something very mean about her to another associate behind her back named Elvisa. I only know because I glanced at her name tag before she agreed and walked away. Come to find out the lady that said the nasty remark is a assistant store manager named Julita. I pulled someone aside and told them what I heard and who said it, and I was told that I should do a survey, to let corporate know by phone or email, and to also let Tom the store manager know. I could tell this wasn't the first time they heard that lady talk bad about her workers.

    So because the young lady went out of her way for me, I am going out of my way for her and letting corporate know, as well as my contact in the regional office, Consumer Affairs, and I'll also throw in a survey. How dare someone that is supposed to be an example for the crew, say something so nasty about someone in front of customers? If it's about appearances then jealousy has to be key. The young lady was beautiful and has a great personality, all of which the ASM did not have. Now I see why. I also told the young lady all of this on my way out. Thank you for your time.

    My husband and I have been Home Depot customers for years and my last three visits/purchases have been incredibly upsetting. I first purchased hardy board siding (very heavy for me to lift alone). I went back to return unused product with my 3-year old and 1-year old, was told someone would come help me unload. I waited 15 minutes with KIDS for someone to come help, nobody showed. I finally just struggled in the heat while making sure kids didn't get into things or run into the street to get it all loaded up alone. Not the worst thing in the world, but after my next two experiences I felt the need to share the poor quality of customer service on this occasion.

    Next we ordered a patio set online to have in time for our oldest kid's graduation party. All said and done we spent about $1000 on this set. 2 weeks later I was informed the order was ready so I went to pick up. When I arrived the box was in really bad shape, pretty banged up and ripped open, even the employees loading on to the truck commented on how bad it was. I got home to set up, got chair and table put together and moved on to the sofa to find the arms were missing. Called customer service, did get the arms ordered but they wouldn't expedite or offer any sort of alternate solution even knowing my concern about not having them in time for the party.

    The worst and final straw (which I am now considering pursuing legal assistance with) was when purchasing sod. We parked near the Garden Center and as I was getting my 1-year old out of her carseat my 3-year old fell through an extremely oversized grate covering their drains. His leg got scraped up, new shoe lost down in the drain and both kids crying at this point. Went to the Garden Center to tell them what happened and got sent to the customer service counter to tell them what happened and ask if someone could help me get his shoe out (this was actually what my 3-year old was most upset about, losing his new shoe). Both men looked at each other waiting for the other to respond then one finally told me he thought "the shoe was a goner."

    I was upset, not even an apology or assurance that a smaller grate would be placed so this wouldn't happen to anyone else. I took the kids home, my next opportunity to go in without children wouldn't come for another week (stay at home mom with 5 kids). Went back to see the same large grate, the shoe still down there. I spoke to a manager who pretty much wrote me off as well, but offered to have someone to help me get the shoe out. Not gonna lie. I don't want a shoe back that's been floating in dirty water for a week. I was so pissed when I got home the first day that I threw the other one away thinking I couldn't get its mate back thanks to customer service. I won't be returning to Home Depot in the future. I have never written a complaint about any business, but my kid getting hurt and the general lack of concern or promise of change was it for me.

    Was visiting store in Clermont Fl on the 5/30/2017 with wife to purchase a barbecue grill. On that day around 5:00 pm we saw a grill that was advertised in store flyer and decided to purchase it. We spoke with someone on the floor that was so nice and helped us out in getting the product from the floor. We told him that we do not have a van to take this with us seeing that we drove with our own car to this store. So we told him to get the grill up while we go the rental section to secure a van for transportation to take grill home which is only about 8 miles from our home. We comply with this sales clerk, think his name was Rick. Was not friendly when I approach him. Asked for driver and car insurance I'd for rental with a major credit card. I gave him all documents. He still was not friendly. When I ask him how much was tile/grout machine cost for rent, he spurted out with a grim tone that it cost 69.00 dollars.

    Was not concerned with that at that time. He then asked me to sign agreement which I did, only to put my credit card in machine which came back decline. I told him it cannot be. He said "let us try again". I did the same time twice, decline. I gave him another card. It say decline. By that time he was not friendly. Customers was waiting and he started to say to us maybe it a prepaid card which I thought this guy is sounding to me because I am a minority looking, stereotype Spanish looking Mexican. He think I am stupid in front of customers. He said "let try another machine" but I have to go all over again with info, which I did, sign and it did say approved on that machine. He asked me to sign a gas return policy which I told him if I return this van only using 8 miles and tank show full and it will not take any fuel why do I have to still force vehicle to take gas to prove I did fill it up.

    He then started speaking with a loud voice that he don't care if I return this vehicle without a receipt he will still charge me for it. I felt this guy was rude to me and my wife as a customers, and treated us as if he don't gave a damn about us renting this van. He even said that we need to refill our prepaid card. I had enough with this air head. At that time asked to see manager on duty which was Cameron. He came, apologize to us and took a discount on grill so that he can make this sale happen. I was mad. I told him I am going to Lowe's across the road and gave them my business. He said "what can I do to make you happy?" My wife convinced me to don't worry let gave him a try. He asked the salesman in that dept to fix us up. That other guy took another 25 mins to get the computer. I was in this rental dept already with first air head 30 mins. That is almost going into 1 hr to purchase a grill.

    The other guy went thru the system on the first computer which turn us down asking Rick to help which he went outside saying he is with customers, could not be bother. The computer that the second guy was entering info said the same thing again, decline. I told the guy "you have to use the 2nd computer to get this transaction done". He said he did not know about 1st computer. I need to go over it all again the 3rd time. By that time I said "no way". I was mad all over again. What kind of company is this. I felt mistreated. I will never return and buy anything from this store again. I will gave all my business to Lowe's from today. Poor service and this employee Rick need to go. He is too long there and don't care about Home Depot sales and shareholder. Went today and purchase a grill more costly from Lowe's without a problem 6/1/2017.

    Just moving into a new house. Wanted to tile the bathrooms and carpet the bedrooms. Initial customer service at the store was great. Ordered the tile and carpet I wanted, paid for the items and installation and went on my way. Then the nightmare started. The installation company sent one person to install the tile. He spent a half day on a Thursday and ALL day Friday installing the tile. The grout was not finished, the thresholds were left unfinished, the baseboards were not reattached properly, the tile was not set properly and he left the place a mess. I returned to the store that same evening and expressed my displeasure to a manager. She assured me that someone from Home Depot would be contacting that coming Monday. I received no call on Monday, so I returned to the store and spoke to customer service who assured me someone would call on Tuesday.

    No one called Tuesday. Went back to the store and spoke to a manager who said they were waiting on a call from me. Long story short, they sent another team out that Thursday to repair and finish the work left undone by the first installer, which took the better part of a day. Moving forward 2 weeks, the installation company scheduled to install the carpet on Friday morning. That Friday morning the installer (yes it was only one again) called to say that the carpet was defective and not able to be installed. I asked how long it would take for it to be reordered. I was informed that it was a Home Depot issue, and that they would be contacting me. Waited by the phone all day Friday, and absolutely no word from Home Depot. Went by the store Saturday, and customer service representative told me there was no one available to talk to me until Tuesday. Not happy. Let's see what happens on Tuesday.

I called the protection plan and after being on hold for 45 minutes, was told that this was not covered under the warranty because "It didn't prevent the dishwasher from running." I was then told that I could purchase replacement parts myself at Home Depot, which is entirely inaccurate... Home Depot does not carry these repair parts. After spending over $70 purchasing replacement wheels from the dishwasher manufacturer, I wrote a review on Home Depot regarding my experience with the Protection Plan.

    In mid-November 2016 we had a Home Depot representative come to our home after an online query to replace my roof. This sales consultant was very aggressively pushing for us to sign for a contract because of a special promotion that was ending that upcoming weekend. We decided to go with them and scheduled to have the roof replaced a month later due to their availability. They estimated the repairs would cost $11,600. In the meantime, we decided to get a second opinion from another contractor who then quoted us only $7,500. Since we had already signed with Home Depot, we didn't choose to have this contractor fix our roof, but we kept this estimate in mind.

    It took them two and half days to fix our roof. Afterwards upon checking their workmanship, I was highly unsatisfied. Even to an untrained eye, it was very obvious that their work was shoddy. In the middle of our roof, we have a section that juts out for the windows (dormer). Portions of the sidings were cracked where they met with the shingles. There were large gaps on one side, and the other side was unevenly matched. Huge sections of the shingles were also not nailed down properly near the vents, forcing the shingles to pop up and create pockets that were not flush with the rest of the roof as they should be.

    On the side of the house where the main electrical conduit meets with the roof, they changed the plywood surrounding it, leaving a 2 gap whereas before, the wood had been cut precisely to fit the conduit. In addition to all these issues, they were extremely wasteful with the materials. Taking a quick look at the dumpster, they had thrown away plenty of materials that they had hardly used. For example, there were large pieces of metal where they had cut off a small section and didn't use the rest.

    On the customer service side, things weren't any better. I had taken a look at the roof from the attic crawl space and discovered that they had poorly patched a section. I took a picture and sent it to the Install Manager. After not hearing from him for a week, he emailed me back saying he had been too busy to respond, but didn't actually address the issue. I attempted to call him several times with no success, so I called the main headquarters to see if they could help me.

    They told me they would contact the store and resolve the issue. That day, someone did call me and they sent someone out to check on it and he said he would send another guy to come fix it. They did not actually inform me when they would do this. My wife just happened to be home when she heard what sounded like someone working on the roof. I followed up with Home Depot to see what was going on. I got the impression that he did not realize that they had already sent someone out to me. He said that he would send an inspector.

    This inspector explained to me that it was just a patch because of an existing vent, but also did not address the fact that it was poorly fixed. At this point, I told him about the other issues I had with the roof. His solution was to simply screw in the shingles that had gaps by the vent. For the other problems, he said he would report his observations to his manager. After two weeks of not hearing from them, I attempted to contact him myself, and have yet to get a hold of anyone. Overall, this job was done unprofessionally. It essentially took them five (5) months to come back and fix the problems they created after so many calls to corporate.

Purchase was (2) gallons of "OOPS paint" at $9.00 per gallon clearly marked down. Was charged $27.98 per gallon, which is regular price. Had I only bought a few items, this would have stood out. However, my purchase was over 65 items, totaling $387.71. Called the store back and spoke with "Jamie" who claimed to be the store manager. Informed her of the error by HOME DEPOT's paid cashier named "Joshua". Explained that I live 74 miles from their store and as this was not my error, I was not going to make a 148 mile round trip to obtain a refund of $38.00. Gave her the option of receiving a photo of the marked down label and a photo of my receipt, plus the credit card information that I had made the entire purchase with.

    This was to no avail, according to the "store manager" Jamie. She repeated the "Home Depot Policy" and said I would have to physically come the store to obtain a refund on the OVERCHARGE. Otherwise, if I couldn't make a 148 mile round trip in the next few months, I could only receive a "Store Credit". If this was an error on my part, I'd gladly own it. For $38.00, I will just eat it and NEVER shop at one of their stores again. They are not the only game in town. (Or in my case, within 74 miles.) Doesn't surprise me with how the retail industry gives a crap and just moves on to the next number.

After going all the way though the process it came to a signature screen, I signed then the pro desk person submitted, then the system erased all of the application. We went through the entire process again and this time when I signed the pro person submitted the application.

    I then was told about the Pro account advantages and fuel card etc. I signed up for the pro account but was not able to use my phone number I used for my account. I had to use my wife's phone number for the pro account. This was confusing and we did not know why. I think the pro person was doing something wrong on the computer. My account was approved, however a couple of days later HD called me and asked which account I wanted to keep, apparently the Pro desk person opened 2 accounts with the same name and info. I canceled one account. This was the beginning of what ended up being a completely unjust and horrible experience with Bonita Springs Home Depot.

    During this first week of April I visited the Bonita Springs HD several times, dealing with Pro salesman Frank. I told Frank I was building our home and would be needing framing lumber, doors, roof sheathing Specifically Louisiana Pacific LP Techshield Radiant Barrier OSB sheathing. I believe Frank was new to HD. I know he was not educated or trained on building products to include Southern Yellow Pine framing lumber, although a nice man, he should not have been working on the Pro Desk. Later it was more than evident he had no training on the computer system or what lumber is used for what in Florida. I also had been and were working with the LP factory rep to find HD as their official distributor in Bonita Springs Ft Myers area.

    According to Home Depot they do not sell e-mail addresses. I own a domain and assign a discreet e-mail address to each company I do business with. That way when I start getting spam or Trojan or Phishing e-mail I know who shared my address either intentionally or was hacked. Well, add HOME DEPOT to the list of companies with lax security.

    Purchased steel decorative fencing and was trying to find the gate to accompany the fencing. Home Depot online showed 5 stores in my area that had this in stock. I called each one and asked them to physically check their stock to make sure they had it prior to driving down there. Went to 3 Home Depot stores who claimed to have this in stock and NO, it was not there. Went to a neighboring city Home Depot (Riverside on Madison) after they not only said they had it in stock but said they put it at the customer service counter with our name on it. NO - Even though I had given them the SKU number they did not have the correct item. Tried to order it online but it cannot be purchased online. I give up on Home Depot and will try to find something to fit at LOWE'S.

    I would like to take this opportunity to reflect one of the millions of Home Depot customer's frustration regarding an online purchase. I have been a repeated customer to Home Depot since 10 years ago as I found the store offers a variety of high quality products. Unfortunately, a recent incident from my online purchase has obliterated all my loyalty to the store. Home Depot's online customer process is so broken that the staff FAILED the promise THREE TIMES to one single purchase.

    On Apr 11, 2017, I have completed an online order for a $780 Gas Pressure Washer, a def expensive investment for an IT manager. Next day, Apr 12 around 11am, I realized I did not apply a coupon for my previous day purchase, so I called in Home Depot customer service and cancelled the order. I got a confirmation from your staff about the order cancellation, and so I went ahead to order another one with my coupon.

    However, on Apr 13, Home Depot staff called me saying the cancellation failed, that the parcel has sent out for delivery already. They apologized politely, and promised the team will pick up the item after its delivery. Please be aware this washer is 100lbs in weight, and big in size. I have no way to lift it up to my small car. I'm disappointed about the failure of cancellation, which caused extra trouble for me to take care of the return, but at the same time, I was happy your team can pick up the item as it's way too heavy for me to lift up.

    May 2, I called Home Depot customer team to arrange to return pick-up, and got the NO for the pick up as they said its a gas product. This is another failure from your company's promise. According to policy, it must be returned to store even I explained multiple times it is a fault from Home Depot side to fail the cancellation process. I have also reassured to the Home Depot staff that the item is UNOPEN since its delivery. Unfortunately, all my explanation was not listened because of the black and white policy. I asked to talk to supervisor, and she told me the supervisor will call me back. After waiting 48 hours, I got another broken promise from Home Depot, I did not receive any phone call from Home Depot, and hence I'm spending my time to draft this complaints to you.

    From this typical incident, you can see there are so many flaws in the process, and even worse, the Home Depot team are not synced up in terms of the actions, and kept making promise cannot be fulfilled. I'm hoping this will give you some insight about experience from a regular customer, who also purchase Home Depot stock. If you were me in this case, what would you take on this company? And what would you feel after all this troubles?

    It's a long story, so I'm breaking down the events below should make your staff to be able to comprehend the series of events. Apr 11 – online ordered. Apr 12 11am – Home Depot Staff confirmed cancellation. Apr 12 4pm – Home Depot sent out email about shipment sent. Apr 13 – Home Depot Staff confirmed the cancellation FAILED, but promised Home Depot will PICK UP the item. May 2 – Called Home Depot Customer team, 1) The team FAILED to keep the promise to pick up the item. 2) The supervisor NEVER CALLED BACK.

    Ordered four items online with Home Depot. After leaving the store found they had only included one item when two were ordered. Called their online contact number twice for help. Just useless recording of information totally irrelevant for a problem with the order. Called the local store, 1000 Market Pl Blvd, Cumming, GA 30041, and was put on hold for over ten minutes. No help whatsoever from that. Just told to bring the paperwork to the store for any decision or help. So I guess I go back to the store and try to prove that they'd left out an item when the paperwork I have stated that it was included in the order. Not worth it to me to go through that.

    I ordered several products online, and was told they had all arrived for pickup. I had an item I had previously ordered that I wanted to return that was not the size I needed, but I'd misplaced the receipt, so I started an online chat. The person I chatted with wrote that I could return the item at the store I was picking up my order from, but would be forced to take store credit since I had no receipt. That was fine with me, so I went to the store to pick up my items. I gave them the part I wanted to return, and was told I couldn't return it because I didn't have a receipt, and they didn't carry the item at their location, but I could return it to the Cincinnati store because they carried the part at that location (Cincinnati is about 300 miles from where I live, by the way.) So they wouldn't give me a refund. Anyway, I signed for the parts I had ordered, which were in sealed packages.

    When I got home, I opened my order and discovered one of the parts wasn't what I ordered. I contacted customer service, believing they would be more than happy to help me. They told me the parts were normal store inventory, so I should have just picked them up off the shelves when I arrived (even though I had paid for them, and they had a package waiting for me with another customer's order in it) The store is 20 minutes from where I live, so it's probably an hour of my time to return to the store to retrieve four bolts worth about $6.00, if they actually have them, and they can figure out how to give them to me without charging me again. This place isn't worth the hassle.

I talk to the store manager and he said that I'm stuck with the dryer. I call the customer care line and they said that there is nothing they can do. So right. Now I'm stuck with a dryer that does not perform the way we wanted to. So never buy an appliance from Home Depot. According to the management they said that appliances are not refundable at all and you can't even exchange them for a different one. The customer service at the store was terrible is like talking to a wall. They have a 90 day product satisfaction guarantee that's they said except for appliances.

The company they contract with, CounterTop Factory (http://www.thecountertopfactory.com/), was awful. They told us they needed Home Depot to send over information, when we called Home Depot they said they had sent everything over. We called CTF again, they said they needed to wait for the materials. We called Home Depot they said the company would have told them if they were out of stock, and at this point we had already been waiting 4 weeks just to get an appointment to measure, and then another 3 weeks to get the countertops fabricated.

    When we called to try and get something scheduled finally, they would not give us a time frame until 3 pm the day before of installation. If you do not have a flexible work schedule, this is completely unreasonable. When they came to install the kitchen countertops, one of the workers broke part of our window boards. The pieces that they brought did not fit one of the counters correctly, and the workers told us to order more wooden cabinet pieces to build around it and fix up how it looks. What.

Hired guys to accept delivery, unload, etc. Never arrived. Called HD's trucking company - they had no idea, did not know if it was in warehouse or when it might come. "Someone will get back to you tonight or tomorrow at the latest." No call yet from them. Called HD "customer service." On the phone for one hour - three different conflicting stories, but with the promise "This should not have happened, you will hear from someone Monday..." That was two weeks ago - still no word or idea when, if, the product might arrive.

    If HD had said, on their website or ad "You will get it when you get it, quit complaining," I could have used that information. Instead they gave (apparently) deliberately misleading information and (also apparently) feel no need to correct their mistake. Bad people!!! Deal with anyone - anyone, including the guy selling stolen merchandise that fell off the truck (maybe that is where my vanity is??) before Home Depot.

    Purchased a lawn tractor and mulching kit on Saturday April 15 from Home Depot in Trumbull, CT. Asked that the mulch kit be installed prior to delivery.

Took off from work to meet the delivery but at 4:00 pm received a call telling me that the mulch kit had not been installed and delivery was postponed until Wednesday April 19. Took off on April 19 only to get a call from Home Depot telling me that the mulch kit was not installed and they would have to postpone the delivery until sometime the following week as the installation of the mulch kit required the removal of the mower deck and the tractor needing to be inverted. I told them that they were being less than honest as the home depot site describes the mulch kit installation as easy only requiring two bolts.

    On Wednesday night I received a call from Home Depot informing me the mulch kit had been installed and the tractor could be delivered on Friday. I told them that I didn't trust them and requested that the unit be delivered on Saturday so I didn't need to waste another day off from work. I complained to Home Depot the store, the customer service, and to Home Depot Exec Management. As of April 27 I have heard from no one. All promised to follow up but no one does.

    Received a Ryobi 40V Cordless Hedge Trimmer as a Christmas present from a relative who live out of state, I had no receipt. The 40V model is not compatible with my 18V Ryobi batteries so I was hoping to exchange it for the 18V model. I called Home Depot (Leominster, MA store #2676) ahead of time because I didn't want to make a wasted trip. I explained everything, noting more than once that I did not have the receipt. I was told NO PROBLEM, that it was okay and I could do a one for one swap.

    I brought the brand new, unopened, factory sealed item to the return desk. The clerk ripped open the box and then offered me $20. I said, "excuse me?" and she said, "your return, it's $20." I told her, "there must be a mistake. Home Depot sells this model for $79.99." She proceeded to tell me that Home Depot's return policy is if you don't have a receipt that you'll be refunded the lowest advertised price. Meaning the most I could get (without a receipt) is the lowest price they ever sold that item for... so, at some point Home Depot had sold this $80 item at 75% off (maybe a black Friday or one-day sale event).

    After a few minutes of getting nowhere with the clerk I respectfully asked if I could speak with a manager. I was told that the manager would tell me the same thing and they wouldn't be able to override the policy. I politely stated again that I would prefer to speak with a manager. I was then told, by the clerk, "there is no manager here." At this point I began to get a little frustrated and sternly questioned the clerk, "you're telling me there is no manager in this building?" At which time she phoned for a manager.

    Within a minute a woman appeared behind me and stated she was the manager. I explained the situation and was quickly told that they cannot override the policy and there was nothing they could do. I explained that I was told over the phone that we could do the exchange. I was never told, after I stated multiple times that I did not have the receipt, that there would be a reduction in the return value. I told the manager that due to this poor customer service I would second guess purchasing from this store in the future and even cancel my credit card account. I was told, "you do what you have to sir, have a nice day."

    When I return home I called Home Depot's customer care number (1-800-553-3199) and explained my experience. As if reading a script, the woman (Erica) quoted the identical policy that the manager and clerk from the store quoted. I explain that I understand the policy, but believe we are experiencing a unique circumstance. Because the item at one point was marked down (for whatever reason) to 75% below retail, the best they could do is offer me a $20 credit for an item they are, had for the long term, been selling for $80. She sarcastically stated that she was sorry and there was nothing she could do, it was a corporate policy and when they scan the item in (without a receipt) the system generates the refund price.

    My point... As a consumer, I did my homework, I called ahead of time. I stated the situation and let them know, multiple times, that I did not have a receipt. At no point was it ever hinted that I could not get a full refund, in fact I was told we could do a one for one swap. As a long standing customer and Home Depot credit card holder I would expect fair treatment, not special treatment, just fair common sense customer service. I've spent thousands of dollars in that store through various home projects. I only asked each of the three Home Depot employees from counter clerk to store manager to customer care representative that we look at this transaction with some common sense, with some reality. Every interaction was like reading from a script, the return policy was quoted and defined multiple times as some type of defense mechanism.

    Rather than understand the logic they all stood there and failed to comprehend how ridiculous the return offer was. They said because I did not have a receipt for a Home Depot EXCLUSIVE item that I was only allowed a maximum refund of the lowest ever sale price, which in this case was 75% off current retail selling price. Not one time did any of the employees verbally recognize that something seemed amiss. At no point in time did anyone, not one time did anyone double check the scan or the return price. The manager never reviewed the transaction, the customer care rep never offered to review the item. The clerk said it was $20 and they all went with it. So, I've very disappointed with the experience. My wife and I have agreed to cancel our Home Depot credit card and shop either online through Amazon or go to Lowe's (which is just as far to travel). Home Depot has lost a loyal patron and a local homeowner.

    The Home Depot Warranty dept. is a joke. Here is the latest. 4/22/2017 - Spoke with Bay. A manager without the ability to answer my questions. She said she could not confirm the call had been recorded and she had not been taking notes. I have asked for someone more senior to call me back. No one available until Monday. She could not give me a name of a person who would be calling. Questions to her: The repair person (not been to see the machine) is ordering parts (pump and control board). He said if this is due to a clogged hose, the extended warranty purchased from the Home Depot will not cover it.

    I called the Home Depot warranty person to verify that this is the case. I had her read back what the previous two service calls had entailed. One said the hose was cleared. My question to her were if they paid in the past, why not again? Secondly, does a clogged hose automatically mean that the control board and the pump have to be replaced? Because that is why I am waiting 4-6 days for a return call and if I have to pay for it, I'm not going to just accept the idea that a clogged hose RESULTS in the control board and the PUMP both needing replacing. If the repair guy stands there and tells me this, what recourse do I have? Pay for it? Or not, and pay someone else to diagnose the problem? In either case, it comes out of my pocket.

    Seems to me that the laborers can be defrauding the Home Depot saying these issues are causing control boards and pumps to go out when that is not the case. Now they are expecting me as a consumer to just believe them? I don't think so. Why can't they just clear the hose and charge me for the service call instead of the parts? This is the FOURTH time I have had an issue with this machine. The first, happened only a few months after the unit was installed so that was covered by Maytag. The two since have been part of the extended warranty. Now this past week. I have had difficulty with the warranty people at Home Depot TRYING to schedule people to come to my place on all occasions. If you have kept notes, you can see the hassle I have gone through just to try to get people to show up. Each time I have to take time off from work to be there or inconvenience a friend to stay there.

    The last time (Thursday) April 20, 2017 I was told that Double U appliance would do the repair between 8 a.m. and noon. I made sure they understood to communicate to them that they would be repairing a STACKABLE unit (Read the notes in my file as I've had other people turn around and leave in the past because they refused to unstack the units and all claimed the Home Depot warranty people did NOT communicate this is a stacked situation). I didn't hear from them the day before like I was supposed to so I called at approx. 7 p.m. EST and left a message. I told them I would be available early the next morning (before 6 a.m.) and if they had issues to call me. I was given a window (8 a.m. noon). I called again that morning just prior to 8 a.m. to see if I could verify an appointment. No one called me back. I called again about 11:30 a.m. and left a VM. No one called me back.

    Finally, at about 12 minutes past noon, I called the Home Depot warranty people back again and told them no one had had the courtesy to call me. They tried calling and they couldn't get an answer either. I don't care if there was a misunderstanding or if they were running late. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT mind, doesn't return a phone call? So Home Depot warranty gave me another guys name: Norman, from Telecare TV and appliance 678.392.0253. I called him and he did call me back. He took down all of the model numbers etc. He is the one that told me a clogged hose would be my issue and I would be charged. BUT he also said he was ordering parts and it would take another 4-6 days before he could schedule repairs. So now I wait some more.

    As I thought more about the situation, it did not make sense to me that he could tell me that a clogged hose was the problem and just charge me for it. So, I went to the Smyrna Store where I originally purchased the washer and dryer units and spoke to Blake. He agreed, I had been through more of a hassle than should be the case. I asked him to specifically share with me how other front-load units are made. We looked at several manufacturers. I asked him if he had ever heard that things slipping through the rubber around the door caused this type of problem (which is what Norman said). He of course would not get that type of feedback. He suggested I Google it and also said he would try to get me a name of a senior person at the Home Depot warranty department. This all took place shortly after store opening at 6 a.m. today. It's now 1:12 p.m. and I've not heard back from Blake.

    Thinking managers might only be at the warranty offices until noon on Saturday, I called and asked for a manager. That is when I spoke to Bay, the manager on duty. She said the service guys are the ones who have complete discretion about reporting back on the situation. So in essence she was saying that they could tell her it was my fault and I would have no recourse. This despite the fact that in the past other vendors apparently covered a blocked hose (check the records on this machine). She did not understand my lack of following that line of reasoning. They could tell her anything wrong is something caused by me, and thus I have to pay for it? Any determination whatsoever by them?

    Frankly, I am 62 and owned top loading clothes washers and never had to replace control panels or pumps because something got stuck in a hose. Frankly if the design is so poor, Home Depot needs to take this issue up with Maytag/Whirlpool. I'm just the consumer who was told this was the machine that would fit in the space and could be stacked. I finally had one pump go out on a Kenmore washer and replaced it. It was about 13 years old. This one was purchased NEW in 2014. It is really a sad state of affairs that I, as a consumer have to take my time and chase down the repair/warranty group at Home Depot. It's certainly sad if this unit is designed so horribly wrong that it allows little things to slip through rubber at the door and that causes a hose to clog AND the control panel to burn out AS WELL as the pump to blow.

    I'm going to find a way to post this all online because the other irritating things is that each says the other is the problem. Home Depot stores can't help me, I have to call the warranty department, the warranty department tells me I'm at the mercy of the repair contractors (and they must burn through those like crazy because I never get the same one twice not that I would want them bar none, they have been a pretty miserable lot). Model # WFC7500VW. NO ONE WILL TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM.

    I placed an order online for a dishwasher requesting delivery. I realized after placing the order that there might be additional parts needed for the installation. I wasn't sure what that might be so requested "chat" to help me resolve. Spoke with Judith **. Who claimed she could cancel the order and then resubmit so I could add additional parts. The only thing she did was cancel the order, and not inform me that my funds would not go back into my account for 3 to 5 days. Meaning I can't reorder for up to 5 business days. I spoke to (or chatted) with another rep who basically told me what I already knew. The only thing they offered to do was to give me 10% off the product once I was actually able to order it. Ah no thanks, ordering from Lowe's.

    I purchased a NexGrill grill with an extended warranty so that it will be hassle free if something goes wrong. Slightly over a month later after purchase, the grill was not functioning right anymore. The temp gauge broke down along with the igniter and the burners. Called Home Depot but they wash their hands and said I have to contact the manufacturer and expect them to take care of the issue. That is their hassle-free extended warranty that they are selling. Anyway per NexGrill I have 90 days to return the product so they sent me back to a Home Depot which they claimed 'twas not true and that they only have 30 days. Long story short I am stuck with this supposedly new substandard product without support. I learned my lesson NEVER TO RELY AND BELIEVE ON HOME DEPOT'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. They don't care about their customers after the sale. Per experience BestBuy is a lot more reliable in terms of customer care.

    Purchased Vigoro-brand Weed and Feed at my local Home Depot. Applied the product exactly as instructed on package. It ended up killing most of the grass on my front lawn and left the weeds behind. In fact, dandelions popped up where the dead grass is (just a few days after application!), and if anything the weeds seem to be multiplying and thriving. Perhaps the product should really be called "Feed the Weeds -- kills grass down to the roots"? I tried calling the 'customer service' number for Vigoro, which ended up being somewhere in the Cayman Islands, and they could not help me. Called Home Depot and they shunted me off to another contact number for Vigoro, which turned out to be an emergency chemical spill hotline! A third number that was provided on my next try got me to a voicemail simply stating that "No-one is available to take your call. Goodbye."

    Finally, after nearly 2 hours of multiple futile phone calls and repeatedly waiting on hold, I was re-directed yet again to the Home Depot Resolution Center where I was eventually offered a $40 gift card (the initial cost of the product that destroyed my lawn was $36). However, since I will never get back all the time, money, and effort I spent last year getting my now-ruined lawn into beautiful shape, not to mention the hours of frustration this morning, it is small recompense. It appears that Home Depot's policy is to keep putting customer complaints off until they finally get frustrated and give up and if they persist, offer the minimum compensation. RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS PRODUCT, AND THIS BUSINESS, AT ALL COSTS.

    On 4/13/17 I visited my local Home Depot to look at lawn mowers. I had planned on making the purchase online because of special financing available through PayPal but I wanted to see the product in person before making the purchase. After viewing the product and verifying it was in stock I proceeded to make the purchase online. The website stated that it was available for in store pickup the same day, however upon checkout it said that it would be shipped to the store a week later. I thought I had possibly made a mistake and selected the wrong option so I went through the process again on the website and it automatically changes the pick up today option to "will ship to store". I called the online order customer service department to explain the issue and they jumped the gun and cancelled my order before I could finish explaining the issue.

    After completely explaining the issue they tried to walk me through the process assuming that I had made some mistake when placing the order but the exact same issue happened on their end and they didn't understand why. The product shows up as available for pickup today but when you go to checkout it switches to the ship to store option with no way of changing it. I needed to place the order online because of the special financing so I placed it again after it was cancelled but I called the local store and asked if I could still pick it up today since it was in stock. I want to be clear that I asked, I did not demand or threaten, I just asked if I could pick it up today and I was told yes. All I required was the order number to pick up the item. I got to the store with the information that they asked for but I was told I couldn't take the item home because payment had not yet processed in their system.

    Every source I turned to gave me different information and caused me to waste a lot of time. This whole process could have been avoided if primarily their website did not offer shipping options that were not truly available and secondly if their employees were properly educated on store policies. If the item wasn't available for same day pickup the site should just say that. And If I can't go to the store to bypass the delivery wait then the employees shouldn't have told me it was possible.

    After debating between Home Depot and Sears to complete my kitchen refacing and counters, I settled on Home Depot primarily because they offered 12 mos deferred billing vs 6 months from Sears. I am trying to sell my house. I was promised 6-8 weeks which was important since I took my house off the market. Of course it took almost 4 months, yet my deferred billing started 3 months before completion.

    Then, Home Depot started charging me interested at 6 months and it took 3 months to correct their billing error, yet I was told I must pay the extra amount because I should have noticed before the 6 months that they were wrong on the deferment period - since I get the statements and should have noticed (not they were wrong!) I also have a separation in the quartz counter, have taken off work 2 times to meet the counter people and they have yet to show. Obviously, a company Home Depot chose without care about the customer as this has been evident in the entire process. Promises not honored but they have you over a barrel and treat you that way.

    Getting this patio set from Home Depot was such a headache for 3 weeks. I will never deal with them again nor will I refer anyone there. To ship 4 pieces of furniture it was sent through 3 different shipping companies and they kept on switching the dates of delivery so I had to keep on asking for days off at work. They first didn't even have my apartment number on file and when I gave it to them they put it in wrong 3 different times!! I had to call each shipping company to correct it and until they got to my apartment complex they still had it wrong. They finally take one of the couches to my apartments, I'm not home because they said they would be there from 10 am to 1 pm and they get there at 5 pm, called them AGAIN and they said they don't know how the confusion happened?!

    Anyways he refuses to deliver it because he "can't" take it up to the 3rd floor, said I had to pay an extra fee for that. I call the shipping company and they say I have to pay extra AND provide someone to help their "professional" delivery guy take it up to my apartment. Someone please let me know if this makes sense to you. By the way I had to pay already $115 for delivery. Upset already I called #HomeDepot and told them I just wanted to cancel the whole order because I was already tired dealing with them and their shipping companies. Of course they apologize and Marty transferred me to I guess one of the managers to help me. Briana was very apologetic and said they will do something about a disclosure on their website regarding deliveries to apartments and called every shipping company to tell them they had to deliver it to the 3rd floor and didn't charge me extra.

    This time I guess it was the shipping company that got my apartment number wrong again but the packages finally managed to get to my doorstep. Conclusion it shouldn't be so stressful to order something online, it has never been like this but I learned my lesson. I will not do business with Home Depot again! But I do love my new patio set and that is the only reason why I was still so patient about everything and didn't just cancel the whole order after the first time I got frustrated with them.

    So much for Home Depot Hampton Bay fans LIFETIME warranty, I have a remote ceiling fan installed at my mother's home that has a failed motor. The warranty says Lifetime warranty but after calling Home Depot and speaking with Donna (Very nice on the phone) she contacted the manufacturer of the fan and I was told by their rep Sangra I would have to send the fan to the service center in Florida at my expense, wait 2-3 weeks for it to be repaired and pay the return shipping back.

    Using the post office it would cost 18.85 each way. Using UPS it would cost 34.00 each way, they suggested that I replace the wireless receiver first also at my expense ($44.00). I know the motor is bad and not the receiver. By the time I am done, She (My mother) will be without a ceiling fixture for 3-4 weeks given shipping time and it would cost as much as buying a new fan. So in closing the Warranty is crap. Buyer beware, the warranty is only as good as the place of purchase. If you buy a ceiling fan expect to pay to replace it when it fails (no warranty). Shame on you Home Depot!

    My experience has been a nightmare that started when my three year old Maytag needed a repair. Sixty days, two technicians and five parts later, that same Maytag is now in a landfill due to slow claim processing and unqualified "technicians." Yes, FINALLY they did decide to warranty it out and refund the cost of the washer. It does not begin to make up for the long, drawn out hassle their customer service or lack of made it. You see, their SOP is to reject claim, drag the process out until you throw up your hands in frustration and pay out of pocket to fix your appliance because who can go sixty days without their appliance working? They contract with fly by night outfits and then do their best to cheat their contractors and customers out of honoring the contract by rejecting claim and slow processing once it is approved.

    OK, so to add insult to injury, I am not convinced the washer was not fixable. Had I paid out of pocket, that washer would have been fixed and running the first week. So after their decision to warranty it out, I hired another technician to look at it and he was certain he could fix it but lo and behold, when he opened it up, all the new parts were missing! One drain pump (ordered twice) one door latch and a control board (also ordered twice because they sent the wrong part.) At that point, the cost exceeded it's worth so off to the landfill it went.

    The reimbursement came in the form of an e-gift card to be spent at Home Depot, the intention being to buy our replacement there. We did not. We bought a new washer at another big box store and you can guess who it was who offers an IN-HOUSE warranty administered by them, not Asurion. I was resistant to buying a HD Protection Plan -Asurion warranty at all but after I was assured that all claims processing is administered by actual employees of store, I was convinced.

    As an apology, Asurion sent us a $50 Home Depot gift card, a nice gesture but it does not begin to make up for bad customer service. Also, you are entitled to a laundry reimbursement refund but no one informed me of that, even after the claim was escalated to corporate. I had to ask for it, and my "resolution specialist" sent me a claim form and I requested a conservative estimate of $120 (keeping in mind I was SIXTY DAYS without a washer at $2.50 a wash at local laundromat) only to be told after filing the claim that the maximum was $50. Thanks George. Save yourself a headache and a $125. Just say no to their extended warranty.

    My wife and I decided to replace our overlapping carpets with just one carpet but we cannot find an exact size for what we wanted. Home Depot (HD) having a great advertisement on TV, we went to 6800 Highway 6 North Houston, TX 77084 on March 25, 2017. I never had problem with HD before except this critical decision of changing carpets. We picked our choice, we saw it should be available in 72 hours as advertised.

    We went to the one in-charge of the carpets and gave the number and size and other details. She kept working on it in the computer for several minutes as if she's having a hard decision choosing stuff and going back and forth with the other windows. We were there sitting in front of her like 15 minutes what should come up in the computer. I thought she was playing or checking something. Giving confirmation or saying it's done shouldn't take that long. Until she said she's working on something and if we mind walking around the store and come back after 30 minutes, and we did. Maybe it was too hard and complicated to place that kind of order.

    When we came back, another person was working on our request. Finally, she came back to us and gave us the order sheet or something, if we agree or not. The carpet was just $165 and I was glad, only to find that another $95 is required to have the edging fixed or something. So my total now is $265 plus! I started to reason out to myself that, yeah I think it should amount to $265 plus and it's okay. So I signed up. Now, the hard part of waiting is here! We were promised it should be available in few days, and 72 hours as advertised should mean 3 days - which I was hoping.

    After a week, my wife began to wonder why we're not having the carpet yet! We should have bought somewhere else where it could been delivered right away! She visited HD store to ask about the status and got some blurry dates and places where it is coming from like Dallas or somewhere else. After few hours the attendant called her back while driving home and the status changed about dates of arrival and who's bringing what!

    Now, it's been 2 weeks, going 3 weeks. She called HD back and the guy finally gave her the UPS tracking number. She sent to me the UPS tracking # and saw that it was shipped 3/31/2017! My gosh we were there 6 days before! And with very slow UPS city to city transfer, I think it would take another 1 week plus. I was thinking, we were living 20 years before and expecting a service that long of more than a month to have an extremely and meticulously made carpet with advertisement of 72 hours! Thank you Home Depot! But you have broken the promise, you should change the 72 hours (3 days) with 3 weeks, or 3 bi-monthly. It's just disgusting.

Was told Delivery company would call an hour before delivery. Delivery company never called, I call them and was told they were running late. OK. They never came or called. Delivered product next day (Sunday) and dropped product in the driveway of new construction on a busy street. I was not happy, forget wife.

    Next, made the mistake of buying custom doors and Andersen windows ($18K). Same story different day. My wife took the day off from work to wait for the 1 hr advance phone call and I scheduled workers to be on site. You guessed it, no phone call. My wife runs to the grocery store a mile away and crew goes to lunch. While gone delivery was made. A $4K custom door and transom was taken out of a protective crate and left in a puddle of mud. Three (3) crates of windows were dropped on the ground with obvious breakage. In total 4 windows were broken. Home Depot employees came up to view and take pictures. Windows had to be reordered.

While with my wife on 2 separate occasions I tell store employee that the absolute only way we purchase these items would be if Home Depot employees would deliver. Could it happen a third time? You got it! What ** idiots! But, to be truthful, I'm the idiot for going back there. Shortly after ordering the bathroom fixtures my wife and I complete a $30K custom kitchen order. So angry I go to find the store Manager but some nitwit Assistant very impressed with himself thinks he will "run road block". Needless to say customer satisfaction means nothing to the ** management at the Oxford Home Depot. The following day I sold my Home Depot shares and canceled the kitchen order.

My nightmare started in the beginning of this month March 2017 when I had made a huge mistake purchasing a pallet of bricks for my yard. Unfortunately I had an emergency reason why I cancelled the order the following day. The employee who answered the phone told me that the order would still be delivered at the end of March and would be returned to the storage and that's when my money would be reimbursed.

    This sounded bad to me and for that reason I went directly to the store located in Sheridan Hollywood, Florida. The lady who helped me also said that the info I got was incorrect, she made a few phone calls and told me that the order was cancelled and the issue resolved. The next thing that happened is that I started being attacked and harassed with phone calls from this people asking me if I was ready to receive the merchandise. I kept telling them that the order was cancelled but the phone calls continued, sometimes as many as five times per day!!!

    Today, March 30th, I am out of the country. I already spent at least 145 minutes calling Home Depot to get an explanation why my money hasn't being reimbursed after a month, why I still continue getting the phone calls to set a date for the delivery, but unfortunately whoever answers the phone keeps putting me on hold, telling me that they will call me back, refusing to transfer me to a Manager, or simply hanging up the phone on me. Something I know for sure is that I will never buy anything from them due to their lack of consideration from their customers!!!

    Hi, we have just purchased a brand new Samsung fridge from Home Depot in Placerville CA, supposed to be delivered last Friday at our new house. We paid the delivery and removal fee for the old one. We got the call on Friday morning, the delivery truck is on his way, have the old one ready to pick up. We take the food out and the frozen item. We get a phone call telling us the truck can’t make it. My husband who is disabled (3 back surgery) take his truck and meet the 2 drivers, and haul it on the truck. The driver said: He can't drive in someone else truck to finish delivery but will send another truck to pick up the old fridge.

    We try to unload my husband and I, but couldn't bring it out the stairs. It's a huge and brand new model. We had to call 3 friends who made it by 3ish. When they finally opened it up, there are dents on top left door and bottom right. We lost an entire day, not even mentioning taking care of the food, finding friends willing to drop what they are doing to finish Home Depot delivery and finding there are dents. It's a $3209 stainless fridge, you had the taxes, the delivery, we are talking about $3800. The story doesn't stop there, I called on Tuesday.

After 2 hours, I call back, she is gone for the day, but the closing manager will give me an answer before 5, because their drivers are contracted with Home Depot, and he wants to hear the story.

    We just bought a brand new range last month and need to do some work in our new house, it will definitely not be Home Depot that we will choose. We feel totally lied, used to our advantage, it's deplorable. Today is Wednesday, I'm still waiting for an answer and financial compensation. Do I have to mention that my old fridge is on the deck still to be pick by the contracted drivers who can’t make a delivery because their truck is too big and unfit?

    In the beginning of January I went to my local Home Depot for a quote on a garage I would like to build the summer (June, July) I gave them the basics (the size of building, the size and number of windows, size of garage doors, and so on) The quote came in at $17,800 not bad I thought. The Pro desk manager and I discussed in detail that (1) I wouldn't want anything until June or July and (2) that I was able to change items before they were ordered. (special order items) Of course my prices would go up or down depending on what I ordered and what he put in for the quote. Neither of us really got into detail about the windows, doors and other special order items. June was a long way away. To this day I still have yet to look at any spec and pictures about windows and doors.

    Later that month I got a call from that Home Depot saying that if I came down before the end of the month they would do that quote for the garage for $15,000. Looking to save over a couple of thousand I said why not. So I came down and signed the papers for the garage. This was the worst mistake of my life. In February I started to receive e-mails that the special order items were placed. I called the Pro desk right away and the pro manager got right on it and stopped all the orders at least that what he thought. In the middle or end of February I got a call that my windows were in. WHAT! I didn't order any windows yet, these were the windows that the manager at the pro desk put in the quote. They are not what I want or would have ordered.

    Since then I have been battling with the store manager about these windows. She says that they are mine. It is what I ordered, (since I sign the papers) I tell her that I never ordered any windows and that the windows and other special order items were all subject to change, for this is what I was told and nothing was to he ordered until June. Well the windows slipped thru the cracks and there they were. I have both the store manager and the pro desk manager on tape stating that everything else has been canceled and the windows slipped thru the crack and they were a mistake. I have made many, many calls to the customer care center at Atlanta Georgia and several trips to the local HD. But the store Manager is sticking to her guns that the windows are mine.

    As of right now I am trying to cancel the rest of my order since to seems that HD is going to make me eat these windows. Which I am not happy at all about and if that is what is going to be then I would just like to never give them another dime of my money. I know I will never shop in their stores ever again. I cannot believe that the customer does not come first. That the customer should be happy with their purchase. HD only cares about the bottom line and not about the customer. This fight is not over by a long shot I will check with the credit card company, the BBB, the New York state Attorney General and my local State Senator on my rights as a consumer. Also looking into my legal rights with a lawyer.

    I can't believe that management would not look at the bigger picture and see that I have spent $10,000 at their store on a roof and just recently on a bathroom. I would be spending more money if they treated me right and gave me what I want, for I have other projects that I plan on doing within the next several years. I warn anyone that is looking to do business with HD to stop and check everything don't sign anything. Stay away from the big box stores and go to your local lumber yard that you can talk to and work with and will work with you on your project. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with any company. The one good thing out of all this is the store got a gold cup for the best in sales for the district. I was there when they were handing in out. I'm thinking they will never get one for the best in customer relations.

    I contacted both LG then Home Depot about my purchase and defect with their product. LG confirmed that this was a KNOWN DEFECT, which I conveyed to Home Depot. Purchased 11/1/2013, delivered 11/5/2013. Product LFX31945SST, 30.5 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator in Stainless steel. $ 3499.00, 3 yr. Protection plan 90.00, water line $ 9.99, move existing appliance $ 15.99. Home Depot said I was out of warranty that they could refer me to LG's website and/or number. Again I conveyed that I had already spoken to them that what they offered was an extended warranty for $366. plus dollars for 60 days to make repair.

    I told Home Depot again it was a known defect, that I was just told that by LG. Home Depot said that they could refer me to a local repair service, at my expense. I told Home Depot that I would no longer shop for LG products and that I would not do any further business with them. My suggest to you is to vote with your dollars at other stores and not buy from LG or Home Depot because they do not stand behind what they sell.

    I'm in the beginning stages of what is already showing frustration on my part. Purchased an LG french door Dec 2014. Bought the 5 year extended warranty. Today is the first time I'm having to use it due to an ice maker problem. Unit is not replenishing ice as needed. Called The Home Depot for the phone number to set up an appointment for a technician to come out. I was given the 800 number, called and customer service rep tells that the store would have to handle my claim. I call the store back and am told that was the right number. Call back the 800 number and am given an 877 number which the recording tells me that if the product was purchased before 2011 stay on the line, if after call back the original 800 Home Depot number. So far they have struck out royally. But do they give a **. I will be in the appliance department first thing Monday morning with a definite chip on my shoulder. I will enter a new review once I know where I stand.

    Updated on 03/13/2017: Today I called the local store and asked only for an appliance specialist. She walked me through the protocol and when I objected she gave me further instructions, therefore I finally made the appointment for a technician to come to my residence. I will accept whatever I was wrong about but still feel that untrained employees caused my run around. I am happy now!!!

    NEVER BUY FENCING FROM THE HOME DEPOT. They never call you back, they lie to you, one of the managers was very rude to me. They break their own company policies especially with delivery. They delivered a pallet of concrete. They left the top open with no cover. It got wet or was wet on delivery. They did not tell me when they were delivering, I never signed for it like you're supposed to. Then they tried to blame me for the issue.

    The order to put the fence together took a week because they tell you they are working on it but really aren't when you call back. They tell you there is missing parts so we need to wait for them to come in to deliver to you. Weeks go by then it's changed to special order no missing parts. Meanwhile you're waiting all this time and before you know it, it's taken a month for a fence to show up plus all the aggravation just to get it. I filed with the BBB. They are supposed to be in the fencing business if you're running low you order more. YOU DON'T MAKE THE PAYING CUSTOMER SUFFER... PEOPLE GO TO LOWE'S.

    Bought a Ryobi cordless lawn mower. Was offered and purchased 2 year extended coverage on top of 3 year manufacturers. Turns out the lead acid battery is terrible. The unit has been serviced several times and has stopped working again. The extended warranty has a lemon clause but it can't be used because it doesn't cover anything until the manufacturer one runs out after three years. Unfortunately, the battery is only covered 1 year (supposedly) by the manufacturer. So, I've spent money up front for a warranty coverage I probably would have to fight to use with a gap of 2 years where the tool is broken. Neither the retailer or the manufacturer seem to care about this. They already made their money and can come up with any excuse to not get the product fixed. Save your money and skip the extended warranty.

Local store had to come pick up damaged unit as delivery company never came. It took 27 documented phone calls and 12 emails, to get the damaged unit picked up and cancel the lost 2nd item.

    Throughout the process with customer service reps/supervisors, I was told that extensive notes were being placed in my file. Each phone with Resolution Expediters indicated that was incorrect. I was told that if I didn't answer my phone shipping company would not leave message nor would they call back.

NO WAY that I'm going to be picking them. I also stated that I would wait all day and night just to have them here. NOPE. So now I have to wait until Thursday and take another day off.

    We purchased a Whirlpool Gold refrigerator from Home Depot, including the protection plan. We thought something was odd early on because it was cold but never really cold and it never produced enough ice. In May 2016 we noticed an extensive build up of frost behind the deli tray and the unit getting warmer; freezer items melting. Called Home Depot for the warranty and they sent someone out to fix it. That technician found that there were wires in the back panel inside the refrigerator section that weren't connected. Afterward, the unit the same with it being cold, but not very, and still poor ice production.

    6 months later... excessive frost, no ice, not cooling, freezer warm. Called Home Depot warranty, they sent a technician who found that wires to the fan in the back of the refrigerator were not connected. The compressor was overheating and had burned one of the circuit boards. That took two weeks fix - one week to get a technician to the house and another to wait for the new part. That's two weeks without a refrigerator, putting all of our perishables into 4 different coolers and buying ice every night. After it was fixed, the ice machine wasn't producing any ice so we called Home Depot Warranty again. Another technician came out and found that one part of the ice machine needed to be replaced. This took two weeks again - one week for the technician to come out and one week for the part.

    One month later, we notice that the food in the refrigerator is feeling warmer. Once again, behind the deli drawer, there was excessive frost build up and the temperature inside the refrigerator was 52 degrees. When I called Home Depot for the fourth time, they refused to replace my refrigerator because it was their "policy" to only replace after three attempts to fix it for the same reason.

    Clearly Whirlpool shipped out a refrigerator that wasn't completely assembled and Home Depot delivered it to us. The unit is a lemon that should have failed Whirlpool's quality control and Home Depot's protection plan should back up the products they sell, collect what was poor quality control from the manufacturer, and deliver a fully functioning, quality checked, completely assembled product to their customer - me! Instead, they're making us repeatedly deal with a defective product.

    Home Depot's customer service agents simply quote their policy that replaced can ONLY happen after three service calls for the SAME issue. They are locked behind the company's red tape and offer no flexibility or responsibility for their company's peddling a defective product. Sometime parts break, and this is what a warranty should be for. But this is a clear case of a manufacturing problem. In the meantime, my refrigerator is becoming a Frankenstein's monster from all of the technician's visits. Home Depot is paying for each visit and we have received reimbursement for the loss of perishable food. But they are failing to recognize that it's not about a broken part, it's about distributing a partially built appliance. Home Depot's advertising of "If we can't repair it, we'll replace it" fails to convey the red tape you'll go through to receive a working appliance.

Therefore, the delivery guys took it back. Meanwhile, I did not receive any phone call from Home Depot to at least brief me on the issue and when to expect the replacement.

    When I called home depot customer service the Nanuet, NY branch regarding the refrigerator issue they notified that a replacement would be delivered. However, they did not have the courtesy to inform me if I had not call to follow-up. Also, upon installing the dishwasher it was not determined that there was a leak. However, the customer service did not call to follow up even though the delivery guys had informed them. Home depot has a very poor customer service and does not treat customers with respect. Not very informative with customer follow-up and when you call them for answers they are very rude and would tell you to call the manufacturer.

    I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Nope, I'm mad! My wife and I purchased a Electrolux washer and dryer for our new house. We have had each of them for three years. Each one has been fixed multiple times and we have been unable to do our laundry for several months within those three years. We have spent hundreds of dollars at the laundry mat. All the service techs they have sent out here except for one were clueless on what to do. Also more than once the wrong parts have been ordered.

    The best advice I can give you is call them every day and ask for an update on the status of your claim. I'm now to the point where I will be requesting they call my local Home Depot and speak with a manager. I then want them to call me back giving me the name of the person that they spoke with, their title, and their phone number. After I receive this information I will be going to my local Home Depot where the products were purchased with my attorney to see what they are willing to do to rectify the problem. I'm certainly not holding my breath or getting my hopes up. I have never been more frustrated and disappointed in a company in my entire life.

    On February 17th, 2017 I ordered a Maytag dishwasher and a Maytag French Door Refrigerator with total charges being $2105.57. I placed it on our Home Depot Credit card since we received an offer for no interest if paid in 18 months.We received delivery on February 22, 2017. Delivery men were very cordial and helpful. Appliances have been wonderful so far. However, when I logged onto my account today I found that my order had been doubled and I was charged $4211.14. Upon calling HD, I encountered a not so cordial customer service person by the name of Carlton. Who could not understand what I was saying about being charged for a double order (THAT I DID NOT PLACE)!

    He finally contacted someone to verify with the drivers that I did not receive 2 sets of appliances and she gave him the order number of the actual order that I did receive. He then informed me that I would not receive a credit on my account until Home Depot contacts Whirlpool to get an RG number for those returned goods THAT I DID NOT PLACE AN ORDER FOR, NOR DID I GET DELIVERY ON! I spoke with a supervisor that was less than pleasant (KETURAH **) and she informed me of the same. She said it was no fault of Home Depot's that the order was doubled and that there was no possible way that the online site could have doubled my order. Ms. ** said it would be 3-5 Business days before I would receive a credit for something that was not my error!

    If I only received one set of appliances and I did not order but one set of appliances and the other set was supposedly not delivered, but is sitting in the warehouse as per the delivery men, then would it not stand to reason that I am not in possession of them and my account should be credited?!! The only thing I am happy about is that I did not use a debit card to purchase these appliances or at this time I would have $4211.14 out of my account while they sit on their thumbs! Not one time was there even a hint of an apology from any of the three employees. Very unprofessional.

    Customer service and how complaints are handled speaks volumes to me! When these appliances were the same price at Lowe's and HHGregg (I did my homework), with the same offer of free financing, but I chose to use Home Depot, that tells me that next time I will deal with a company that IS MORE PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS AND ACCOMMODATING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Living a busy life I wasn't following the payments and the credits - just paying my monthly bill. If I hadn't gone back to Home Depot to make a purchase I would not have known that I was being charged $5,100.00. After complaining about it to the company they told me that if I paid off the balance within 20 days that the fee was put on, the interest would come off. Fortunately, I found out with three days left. No courteous phone call, nothing. This is the way they make an unbelievable return on their investment. WATCH OUT!

    In the summer of 2016 I had won 2 Home Depot gift cards from the PA lottery for $500 each. Shortly after I was sent 2 e gift cards to replace the gift cards I had originally been sent stating that the originals were no longer valid. In August my fiancee printed them out. On December 21st she checked the balance. Both were $0!!

    Immediately she contacted the lottery who then contacted Home Depot. The lottery office contacted HD who said the cards were used in a California store on Sept 15th, 16th, 17th. Mind you I live in Pa. My fiancee then called HD herself to inquiry. After being hung up on and transferred multiple times she finally spoke to Brian who politely said this has happened before and often times the cards are used in California stores. He seemed very sincere that he wanted to rectify this issue on the phone. He took our information and stated that after he submitted our claim to his supervisor we should receive 2 new gift cards in the mail in about 2 weeks.

    January 18th I called back to check the status. No one had any idea what I was referring to nor did have any idea who this mystery employee Brian was. Once again being transferred multiple times between customer service and CashStar their gift card supplier I was in contact with Sue **. Sue verified the cards were used in California and also said the purchaser used a contractor rewards card. She took the e card info and said she was going to contact Loss prevention of the store in question and get back to me 2 days later.

    Subsequently she contacted me 8 days later only to ask if the lottery office contacted me. When I stated they hadn't she replied that she would call them and get back to me. It is now over a month later. March 1st and nothing. Now Sue stated this has never happened but I've scrolled through all 1600 customer reviews on this site and apparently Sue is mistaken because I have found other complaints of the same issue occurring. This is not the only site that I have found this problem being expressed either. Update: after leaving a rather livid message on Sue's answering service last evening I promptly received a call this morning with a willingness to correct this issue.

    It's been 3 months so far and my Maytag freezer still isn't fixed. I've had 6 scheduled appointments so far. The first appointment the nobody showed up. Apparently there was a disconnect between Asurion (they manage the protection plan for Home Depot) and Precision Appliances (the servicing company). The service technician never showed.

    The second appointment someone showed. They opened the door, took a few pics and said he had to order some parts. I thought this person must be good to just open the door and know what the issue is. I submitted a food loss claim, I verbally updated my address in addition to writing the correct address on the claim form, yet they still sent the reimbursement to my old address. I called and spoke to several people and got different stories from everyone. Eventually someone knew what to do and got the check to us.

    Third appointment the service technician returned, 2 HOURS AFTER the appointment window, and replaced the parts he said went bad. So I went shopping for food. A week later I noticed the top shelf wasn't freezing and frost began to collect at the bottom again. Another appointment was scheduled and parts were ordered, Asurion thought it was the seal and a gasket. When they called to let me know my appointment window I verified that the technician would bring the seal and gasket. He showed up with the same parts he had already replaced. NO SEAL AND NO GASKET. He said he had to order the seal and gasket.

    A week went by and I didn't hear from them, I called and they said they didn't ordered the parts because he didn't take a picture of the freezer. He's taken a picture EVERY time he's come out. They were going to close the claim if I hadn't called that day. They found the picture in their records and ordered the parts. I hadn't heard from them for another week so I called again, they got the parts and scheduled another appointment. 2 hours into my appointment window I called to see how many people were in front of me and get a better idea of their ETA. They contacted the technician and he wasn't coming, they said he forgot the parts.

    I have left many complaints with both Asurion and Precision Appliances, and there is no accountability. Three times I was supposed to receive a call back from supervisors and a supervisor has NEVER called me back. I have another appointment next week but I have no faith my freezer will ever be fixed under the Home Depot Protection Plan.

The delivery guy noticed that the dedicated shut-off valve was leaking, so he ^said he could not installed it. He also noticed that a extension drain line was needed and ^told me that he put a note to Spirit to make sure they have the longer hose kit upon returning to install it. I called a plumber and had a shut-off valve replaced as instructed. I ^then rescheduled the installation with Spirit.

    On 2/11/2017, Spirit came back; the delivery guy (different guy) now ^said that it could not be installed. He tried to install the new hose to the older hose with a piece of pipe (~ 3 in.) which leaked when he tested it. I asked why he was doing this because I watched YouTube videos ^where the first thing they ^tell you is to replace the old hose. He ^told me he did not have a longer hose kit. I ^told him that the previous (1st) delivery guy put a note for the longer hose kit. The 2nd guy from Spirit ^said that ^there was no kit ^except for the power cord kit.

    (After he left, I noticed on the Home Depot ('HD') receipt that I paid for the hose kit $20 even ^though he ^said there was no hose kit. Also, I noticed after he left that ^there was no need to ^do the crazy thing he was doing. All he needed to ^do was connect the new hose to the extension which included a coupling device. Obviously, he did not care to look at the connection of the old hose to the extension hose or he did not know what he was doing. ^There was plenty of space to connect the new hose to the coupling device connecting to the extension hose.) He wanted me to sign an Appliance Delivery & Installation Exception Form which had 2 options: Left with customer; and Returned to Warehouse. He chose Left with customer, and I stated that I did not want an uninstalled dishwasher; I asked him to take the dishwasher back; he refused. I refused to sign the form. He left without the dishwasher.

    The form aIso included a comment: ^need to have proper extension put on for drain hose. The facts are that ^there was an extension with a coupling device in place, and the 2nd guy did not bring any hose kit (which I paid for) as instructed by the 1st delivery guy. He ^told me to go to HD to return it. HD customer representative ^said that Spirit needed to pick up the dishwasher first; I stated that Spirit refused to take it. HD customer representative stated they could not ^do anything. While at HD, I called Spirit (Supervisor Bill) who after talking with HD agreed to schedule a pick up for Tue, 2/14; Bill stated that I would get a call on Mon, 2/13 to schedule the pick up. I did not get the call; nevertheless, I stayed home on Tue waiting for the pick up.

    I called on Tue, and Spirit (Vanessa) stated that Bill never scheduled the pick up. Vanessa ^then stated that she would schedule the pick up for Fri, 2/17 and that I would get a call on Thu, 2/16. I did not get the call. I called today 2/17, and Spirit (Nichole) ^told me that Vanessa did not schedule the pick up and allegedly ^told me to go to HD to request a reverse logistics. Spirit staff appeared to be overwhelmed with calls and they make up whatever they deemed appropriate at the time thus leaving customers hanging.

    ^There is no commitment from Spirit or HD to return this appliance. ^Do not buy any appliance from Home Depot until you know the delivery company is reliable and until HD is willing to take responsibility. HD just washes ^its hand like Pilate. Go to other companies that will be responsible for the delivery/installation. Check first online about the reliability of the delivery company. I checked online and Spirit had plenty of negative feedback. It is a shame that HD does not take responsibility. By the way I had purchased 2 appliances from HD: ^refrigerator and dishwasher; no issues with the refrigerator. You would think that for a customer that purchase 2 appliances on the same day I would have been taken care of.

    Having found a couple of tools that I desperately needed in stock at the Duluth Georgia Home Depot, I reluctantly set out to purchase them. I say reluctantly since I'd had regular issues in that particular store. The last time I went we were looking for cleaning supplies for our business, but found the aisle blocked off, with no signs of anything going on, and no employees to be found anywhere in the vicinity.

    After quite some time we abandoned the effort and found what we were looking for at Lowe's. This time I had the location (aisle and bin numbers) for the tools that I wanted, but could not find them. I went to Customer No-Service and was directed to an employee standing around in a nearby aisle. He told me that once tools come into the area there's no telling where they might actually be and that was that. I was basically dismissed.

    I went to the Lilburn Home Depot and got the tools I needed. I've complained about the Duluth store and have always wound up with pockets full of nothing. Avoid the place if you possibly can. I attempted to complete an Enter to Win Survey from the purchase, but received a User ID and Password (printed on my receipt) already used message from the online system, thus my comment herein. The Enter to Win appears to be fraudulent as well as the customer service at Home Depot.

    Called customer support to make changes to an order. The order had added items I specifically did not ask for. I went to complete hell with prompt after prompt after prompt till I wanted to cancel the order entirely. They lost over a $600 order due to including items specifically not asked for that come to a total of $46. If it wasn't for the hassle of the prompts I may have kept the order, but when I asked to have it canceled I was hung up on twice, was given the run around until I asked what legal action must I take to get this ordered canceled and my refund processed. At this point they decided it's better to refund the order than try and steal from this person. Would I suggest going to Home Depot? Absolutely not for any reason whatsoever.

    Updated on 02/16/2017: After cancelling the order on the 13th, Home Depot tried to run my card for the amount the next day on the 14th and I was able to stop it. After that they waited one more day and ran it again on the 15th for the same amount and it went through. The order was cancelled and Home Depot will NOT stop until they get what they want which is your money even if it against your will for them to.

    After this go around with Home Depot I will HIGHLY suggest no one use their card for any purchases at Home Depot. They will run your card as many times as they have to in order to get what they want. I am actually looking into getting an attorney and taking them to court to get this stopped. It's a shame that a customer has to take a business to court in order to get them to stop running their bank account for money that is not theirs. Maybe that's what they mean when they say "That's the power of the Home Depot"... They do what they want with your bank account.

    We purchased a Samsung refrigerator from Home Depot in 2015. They advertised that their protection plans were 24/7 in terms of service. Our refrigerator has had an issue with the ice maker and now has a problem where the freezer is broken. With the ice maker, they had me go through troubleshooting steps myself which took about 30 minutes. Then they finally sent someone out that fixed it. This time I called on a Sunday evening and was promptly told their "office is closed, go to our website." The website doesn't have the means to do anything to set up an appointment. The 24/7 advertisement for service is a lie. This is the worst experience I've had for attempting to get a product to work.

They haven't come up with a decent resolution. At this point, I'm stuck with a broken item (good thing for credit card disputes), out $150 for the plumber (he did nothing wrong), and hours and hours of frustration.

    On December 13th 2016 the ice maker of my refrigerator broke. I called Home Depot protection plan and opened a claim. 3 days later a company (J & R Service Repair LLC) came and diagnosed the problem. They said that a part was needed and that it would take a couple of weekdays to arrive and to have it replaced. Today is February 8th (almost 2 months!!!) and nothing has been done. I have been calling Home Depot Protection Plan and the J & R Service Repair LLC company on a weekly basis (seriously, no exaggeration...) and they always say the same thing... "Somebody will get back to you tomorrow".

    It is a complete lack of accountability and this is really not as customers should be treated. I paid for the protection plan and they do not do what they are supposed to do and do not really care to keep me up to date on the status. Really unacceptable. And the worst is that I sent an email to Home Depot Customer service and they asked me to contact the same department, so I feel really helpless and not knowing what to do.

    We purchased Home Depot's 5 year protection plan for a LG Washer. We called on December 23, 2016 and the situation took until February 7, 2017 to resolve. It took over a week to get an appointment scheduled with a repair service to service the washer. The day of the appointment they did not show up. I called and they said they gave the wrong schedule to the repairman. We called Home Depot to request another appointment with another repair service. After another week went by they stopped by and told me the struts needed to be replaced on the washer. I was told that the parts would be delivered in two days and they would return in two days after the parts were delivered. Two weeks later the parts never showed up and they never called to make an appointment or to follow-up. I called the repair service and finally was able to get an appointment scheduled.

    The day of the appointment they never showed up. I called to ask if they were coming or not and I was told they were waiting on the UPS truck to deliver the parts. They said they would call me to let me know if the parts came in or not. I never received a phone call back. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. We called Home Depot back and was assigned to a third repair service. They said they would call us to schedule an appointment. We never heard from them. We called Home Depot again and they said someone would come out on the 7th which ended up being with the first repair center we were assigned to. The appointment was kept. The service repairman said that the struts never should never be replaced and if they were replaced other problems could arise with the washer. The washer has finally been serviced after numerous calls to Home Depot and dealing with their sub-standard repair centers.

    When you call Home Depot they will give you the same line "Sorry for your inconvenience" and will tell you whatever you want to hear. I would never recommend anyone ever purchasing Home Depot's protection plan. They are obviously selling a product that is worthless if you cannot get service from a reputable qualified service repair center and it takes over a month to get service. I could not imagine having the same plan on a refrigerator and waiting over a month for service. Save your money.

    Home Depot's Project loans are done through Greensky. When you set up your automatic payment, they say there is a place on the page where they state you are informed that to stop automatic payment you must sign on and terminate it. This may be. I do not remember such a statement. I know that other accounts of mine have had that statement. They have all stopped debiting my bank account when I reached $0.00 balance. NOT GREENSKY. They will gladly keep debiting your account even after the loan is completely paid off. They state it is the customer and not their accounting software that should stop the payments.

    To make issues harder, their phone number they say is on your project loan credit card. The credit card has like 3 months that you can purchase items for your home project. After that the card is no longer of any use and all further work/supplies/equipment may not be purchased. Effectively the account is closed for all purposes save payments. I cut up and discarded my card a couple of years ago.

    They list a phone number on the bill for contacting them. The person on the automated system does not pronounce her words clearly/distinctly. Even with repeated calls I kept getting a message "Please enter the last fee of your account number" or something like that. I kept trying to make out the word fee, key??, three??, something that rhymes with key... I could not determine. The word is supposed to be eight. They want the last eight number of the credit card. I finally called Home Depot Customer Service. They just gave me numbers I had been trying. They were who told me the word is eight. Even knowing, I could not recognized it on the automated message.

    After I was told what the message was, I called again. This time I was able to enter the right information and get assistance. The person on the other end, told me I was about to be debited again, and it was not the responsibility of their software to know when the account was paid off. If I wanted to keep giving them money that was my choice and they would gladly accept it. I was about to purchase a new refrigerator from Home Depot. They will never get my business again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They did not turn up as scheduled that day. We had to call them and find out if they would deliver at all and were told 'sorry' it was going to be done first thing the next day. We waited for 3 hours that next day, no phone call update at all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    She asked me if I could step aside so she could help other customers while someone called her back. I said, "No." I said, "Can you please just charge me for the 1/2 inch so I can be on my way?" (the one I had was the 1/4 inch) but she said no. Then she called the manager and the manager didn't know what to do, and about 15 minutes later I was really impatient, and I asked the manager to please just charge me for the 1/2 inch so I could be on my way. After 20 mins I walked out with nothing and I am never going back to Home Depot because this is not the first time I have had bad experiences with their customer service. I am glad there are other better alternatives.

I understand store policy, but termination around Christmas, really??? A written reprimand would have been sufficient. Even a minor suspension could have been in order, but termination???

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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