Been doing business with them for years, now for some reason they feel ALL customers are thieves. Each person is checked upon departing and searched. That is unwarranted and I cannot do business with someone that feels their clients are thieves. They may have a problem, well that's not my problem. But the insinuation and inconvenience is my problem. An easy way to fix their problem without inconveniencing their customers is mag strips and more cashiers. I won't shop at Costco or Sam's for the same reason.
One time when I was with a friend at Sam's around the corner I remember waiting in their exit line for twenty minutes. This only took five but still, who's paying me for my time they are taking up. Or is this just their opinion that your time doesn't matter. Doesn't matter that it's 5 minutes of five hours taking your time to search you is an implication you're stealing. A blanket accusation on all customers is just plain wrong. I also tried to talk to them, and was even more somewhat surprised that they didn't really much care. Including being told very quickly into the conversation, "Sorry you feel that way, have a nice day". Wow?!? So denizens of the Net, please don't shop there. That kind of attitude is wrong. Plain and simple. Their competitor is not far up the road and I will be finding myself going there from here forward. Thanks for your time reading this.

Order # **. Could not be more dissatisfied about the service I received on this order. Order placed on 4/19 and was supposed to be delivered within 10 days to **. I kept checking status online and it read: "On its way to the Store". Finally, I was fed up enough and called in on Saturday May 23rd, well over a month past my order date, to see what the problem was. Stood on hold for 10 minutes and have now been on and off hold nearly and hour to learn that the product was delivered shortly on or after May 1st!
However by the time I called in the customer service office I spoke with contacted the store and they could not find the Pallet. They show it as being received but cannot find it. Still no resolution whatsoever. Your ** online fulfillment is complete garbage. Online updates are inaccurate, there was 0 communication regarding the arrival of my order, and now I'm forced to waste a Saturday trying to track this down on account of your shortcomings as a supplier. Rest assured I will never buy from your store, online or retail again and will be telling everyone I know about this experience.

I went to home Depot 1401 E. 19th St., Upland, CA 91784. Phone: 99-982-231, 3 days ago to purchase laminate flooring. The associate ** tried to find the kind I was interested in but could not find them even though the store showed you had them in stock. I told him I need them for an installation on Saturday. Scheduled he said he would look for them and call me the next day. He never called me back. I called him repeatedly and spoke to his Manager (Maria) who sounded very unprofessional and not helpful. Eventually, he called me and said the boxes arrived and they had initially been transferred to another store but they were rejected because they were damaged and open boxes mostly.
Today, I went to see what and if I can get them. An associate realized the boxes were mostly open and damaged although not all. He marked them down and wrote on a paper and put his name on it. After hours of shopping, I went to pay, and ** (unprofessional staff member who was rude and seemed threatening) rejected and said he was not going to honor what the other associated had marked on the paper. ** the manager was there and also refused to honor the reduction. I had to leave humiliated after hours of shopping for the flooring.
I have the paper with me signed by the associate/ it is labeled as "cut merchandise ticket" and says the quantity of the boxes of flooring I was purchasing and all needed information. Some of the boxes are severely damaged and others were not as damaged. The store manager ** is very inept at dealing with customers. I had to waste so many hours of shopping because of so many items missing and not having all that is needed to purchase. I shop for my home and our business no less than $35,000 annually. To be humiliated like this by complete idiots is unacceptable. Shame on Home Depot for having such employees deal with their customers.

I am writing you this to tell you I am very disappointed in 10 shop lights I bought from the Home Depot store at 1200 Brodie Lane in Sunset Valley Texas. The lights were purchased on May 31, 2012. I turned them on today and all but one came on properly. This has been a continuing problem for some time now. I had my doubts on the light at the time of purchase because they were made in China. The store did not have any other shop lights in stock made in the USA. This has been a problem with electronic products sold at your store. I would have paid more for USA made if you would have stocked any. I have used shop lights purchased over 30 years ago at Sutherland Lumber Company in Fort Worth Texas that are still work fine. The problem is I moved to the Austin Texas area and have to use your store and China made lights. I now have to find new lights that won't quit on me after a very short amount of time.

Ordered a UV water filter. The unit arrived damaged. Home Depot promised a replacement part but after three weeks, no part. Customer support makes promises, but no parts. There is a "90 day" money back on the order but it seems that Home Depot tried to string you along so you will waste the time waiting.

On Thursday May 7, 2015 I placed an order for export to the Bahamas. I copied in the store manager and was advised my new point of contact was **. To put into perspective, this is the only person in the whole of Home Depot you deal with to ship to the Bahamas. To say she plays a god like power with your order is not an understatement. To say that it makes you very very nervous as your entire project schedule rests with this person, is also accurate. To order items for the Bahamas and the island I am on means that ALL items must be received by Seacor Island Shipping Lines who is 8.1 miles from the East Ft Lauderdale Home Depot store by noon on Thursdays to make the ONLY weekly ship to Long Island Bahamas for a Tuesday arrival. If you miss this deadline, your items will be another 12 days out as you have to wait for the next week. The boat will sail only on a Saturday.
You learn very very rapidly to order carefully and I was well prepared with all sku numbers, ordered the way they like it and listed the way they like it. I had thus specifically checked online that these items were showing available in store - while this isn't always accurate and I did make an error on 2 items (see below), those items showing as online, I ordered online. I thus also made several purchases through the online website at the same time - that every one of the items I ordered online made it by May 15 to the freight forwarder is an irony not lost on me. On Friday May 8, I sent a chaser to find out if my order was being made. I received a reply it was being "worked on now". On Monday May 11, I sent an email chaser - would the items make it by Thursday?
On Monday May 11, I received a reply from ** stating that there were some substitutes they would put in with my authorization that we instantly authorized and then received an email from her that "Due to the amount of merchandise being purchased I must send everything to the consolidators for quality inspection and proper packing. There are a few items that we don't have in the store but can get from other stores." She said she was aiming to get the shipment by "next week" barring 2 items that needed special ordering that would be 2 weeks out (despite SKU#** saying "pick up in store today" - and still does as I just took a screen shot, these things happen).
Thus reticently I accepted this (although this was/is a tiny order by export standards) with THANKS but to please try to get whatever out as soon as possible. May 12 my credit card was charged in full and all documentation needed for the shipment for export was done. On May 16, I sent an email to follow up on the order as well as to delete 3 items that I had to purchase in the Bahamas as we couldn't wait (a joint knife and a tub of joint compound from the instore/instock order and ring shank nails from the online) and add 2 items (4 x 90 degree shark bite plumbing parts and a slab door). I received no reply.
On May 20th, I sent 3 emails, no reply. This order had but had to be sent to be at the shipping company no later than noon on Thursday May 21. I even copied in the shipping company to verify they had indeed received the order - they replied they hadn't got anything from Home Depot. Today I sent 3 more emails, left another voice message for ** and STILL no reply until I called the store manager. It was only then that I received the following response from ** at 11:24 am: "I called our consolidators about the orders. They are not able to send it over before the deadline today. They are only able to send everything tomorrow." "everything TOMORROW" - one day after waiting 2 weeks.
If I had been advised at any point these items couldn't make it, I would have had an option. This is the only department Home Depot uses for Export items and I am given zero option but to deal with this department. I beg, I plead, I thank profusely but ultimately I am ignored. I can get a washer and dryer posted to me by Home Depot online and received in a week but I can't get an in stock/in store items to me? They couldn't split the order to make sure those items in stock DID get to me? They can't give me the common courtesy to reply to my emails? To only get a reply after speaking personally to a manager and be told that they can't send it over before the deadline today - but can of course tomorrow...??
This has cost me $475 in trucking as I have to now have 2 deliveries (the shipping company won't hold supplies in the Bahamas for longer than 10 days without charging demurrage and the online stuff arrived of course this week!!). I have a carpenter at $150 x 7 days that I am paying to do nothing but have contracted them to work with the supplies that were coming down and it has cost me 2 weeks of work personally. It has also cost me the credit card interest on this. I paid in full for these items on May 12. I did not even get the courtesy of an update until I literally harassed them. Then I am told at 11:24 am on the very Thursday that I needed the items by noon that they can't be delivered until the Friday? The day after the cut off for the boat?
To buy from Home Depot for the Bahamas puts you at the mercy of one person in the whole company... if you can't pull items off a shelf and deliver it less than 10 miles away within 2 weeks for whatever reason whatsoever, tell the customer. Don't make them harass you. I could have ordered online, through any other resource in that time frame. Upon raising this to them? Not one apology. In fact just re-sent emails from 10 days ago - but underlined and highlighted. What is the reasonable expectation to be at someone's mercy when you have paid them over $1500?

My boyfriend had already put in for a refund on a washer/dryer from a cashiers check from his bank. They had to wait till the check cleared. Now he's incarcerated and isn't getting out anytime soon, like 30 years. I've spoken to everyone I can about this refund. I even have power of attorney, and Home Depot pretty much says I can't have the refund and they are going to keep the money. So I guess I have to pay a lawyer to get the refund and I'm not allowed to talk to the legal department. They just said no. I will never shop with this company as long as I live, I wish he had gone to Lowe's. They treat people better over there.

On several occasions at Home Depot, I have made attempts to invoke their Price match meet and beat promise. Or use a coupon, or promo code. Only to find out that none were valid. And in some cases I was treated in a rude unprofessional manner. While I know this is only about a few dollars in most cases, It is a principle that counts. A company makes a promise, advertises a product, or discount. You the consumer make the conscious choice to go to that store over another, specifically to use the advertised promise. And they deny you at nearly every front. You have now wasted YOUR time selecting the products, stood in line for who knows how long, and then was humiliated as the person holding up the line because Home Depot was not willing to uphold their promise.
I am going to give this store one last chance, at which point I will no longer give them any of my business. I hope you know this going into the store, they will not price match despite their promise.

I purchased a $4,000 door that was not windstorm approved. Went to Home Depot asked for a exchange or refund. The manager gave me the option of buying another door instead. He said it was my loss for not asking if it was windstorm approved. So now I'm stuck with a door that I can't use and without money to buy another door. Worst customer service ever.

I recently purchased 4 custom closet doors and spent more than a hour with the attendant trying to configure the exact sizes. Eventually I was given an order form and was told that these are now the correct sizes. The doors were delivered last week and are 2" too narrow and 2" too short - all 4 of them! I fail to see how I could measure incorrectly on all 4 doors by exactly 2" each time. I believe there is an issue the door configuration that was used with the online tool. I am now being told I have to pay a 15% restocking fee for an error that was not of my making - a bit of a slap in the face.

On 5/17/15, I went to the Home Depot located In Jamaica, Queens and I was purchasing Misc. plumbing fittings. Each little packet was 1.40 ea. and I needed 6 of the same item. I proceeded to go to the self checkout and was having difficulty scanning one of the little packets. An employee was standing at the self checkout section just staring at me struggling. So I kept scanning a different packet until I found one that the barcode was able to read when I scanned it. I continued to scan the same packet 6 times and dropped the packets in the bag. The woman walked over and grabbed the bag from my checkout and took everything out and accused me of stealing. By that point I was highly upset.
I told her that instead of accusing me of stealing she should have walked over from the beginning and ask me if I needed helping scanning my items. instead she just stood there staring at me. She ignored me as I was talking and continued to look at the self checkout screen and counted and looked at what was in my bag and said, "OKAY GOOD." She attempted to hand me the bag and I told her to KEEP IT and I told her she can keep my $8.58 from my purchase. Then I began to obviously insult her. I asked for the manager and apparently the manager does not like to deal with customers at this location. I just left. Hope they enjoy my $8.58.

I have a 2013 Maytag Top Load Washing Machine. In October of 2014 I had a drain spin issue. Intelfix Service repair came to my place and fixed the issue. The machine worked fine until late March of this year 2015. Jet Cool Service repair came out twice to fix a drain spin issue. When they came out they ignore the fact that the Lid Lock light is off while the machine is operating with whatever new part they install, just the green light for whatever cycle is on. When the machine finishes operation the Done light does not illuminate and the clothes are saturated with water. I have asked the repairmen to see the work through. Do not just install a new part and leave. They refuse to stay and tell that the machine is fine. A repairman from Jet Cool even asked me to pay for his time since he said he came out for no reason.
Intelfix came to my apartment 2 more times. One time @ the end of April and one time in the beginning of this month, May. I got the same dissatisfaction. Home Protection Plan has stated there is nothing wrong with my machine. They do not see that there is a problem with the washing machine. It sits in my laundry room like a piece of furniture while I use a laundromat. Home Depot Protection Plan said that even though I am complaining more than 3 times, had repairmen @ the apartment for the same drain spin issue, I am not eligible for Lemon Law compensation. I will not buy appliances from Home Depot again.

I had bought a GE Washer in 2012 from Home Depot and got the 5 year extended warranty. Well the wash machine started making noises and then all of sudden quit - wouldn't turn on - nothing. Called to have someone come out and take a look at it to have it fixed and the repairman came out, opened it up and said something about the motor and the board and that it was wet. He had said someone from the warranty place would call us in 2-3 business days - well that was May 6th so I figured I would be contacted by Monday... no call - nothing, then Tuesday nothing, so Wednesday I called the 800 number for Home Depot and talked to someone and they asked if my wash machine was in a FLOOD? I told them no that it was making noise and then quit.
Today I just received a phone call asking about the wash machine and they said that the repairman had said it was in a FLOOD, I said "No there was no FLOOD. The machine was making noises and then quit working." So now they said they were going to send another company out to look at it. I still need to wash my clothes and if I hadn't called them the first time I don't think I would have received a call back. At this point if I have to get another wash machine I am not going through HOME DEPOT again.

First of all have shopped at the local Home Depot since purchasing our raised beach home, trying to improve and update our dream home. Went to our Murrells Inlet Home Depot and purchase cabinets and countertops granite. Three weeks later they came in and were delivered to our home. Upon arriving to our home the driver delivery person said he noticed a mark on several doors of the wall units. Upon further examination of the cabinets we noticed epoxy all over the doors inside and out. We took pictures and sent to our cabinet person who sold us the cabinets. Then we had to get the dept manager involved. She came out and took pictures - said she would send us a sink and order 10 doors.
One cabinet was also damaged. She said she would adjust the bill. Then we waited three more weeks with no sink or kitchen to boot. When the doors came in they were 4 of them damaged. They then sent a representative out to take a look. He found defective cabinets and noted them and ordered more, along with picking up some to take back with him - never heard again from him. Our dept manager along with the home office at this time had been contacted to help out. Got no help from them and oh yeah, she said “Go ahead and install them and we will get the doors.” So they were put in and the granite countertops, came out and were installed, and they screwed that up as well.
The guys didn't cut the granite correctly and we had a overlap on all ends which threw the refrigerator opening off as well. Instead of going with a standard 36 inch we were forced into a 33 in - much smaller refrigerator as well. Then the home off said the store is not going to do any better. Either give us 900 off bill or return them for a full refund - wanting us to jerk them out and the countertops I guess. Lets not forget that the tile work was done to the floor before the countertops were put in. Nothing but a screwed up mess with no help from the home office. Someone should be held responsible for messing up my kitchen and making me and my family go without a kitchen for the last three months.

I purchased a refrigerator in October 2013 from Home Depot. When it was delivered a plastic water line connected to the ice maker was cut, and the cut line had been stuck into a hole in the back to hide the default. Upon connecting the ice maker, water spurted out of the refrigerator and flooded my hardwood floors. Instead of taking the refrigerator back and bringing another, they left it, and had a service man come out to fix the problem. He came, did not have the parts, ordered the parts, and came back a week later to install the new water line. Both times I had a appointment period of approximately 3 hours that someone had to be home to let the repair person into the house.
The ice maker worked for a few weeks, then started freezing up in the rear of the ice maker, then the ice in the front of the ice maker began to melt, then drain down thru the front of the refrigerator, running over and leaking all over my hardwood floors. Also the refrigerator started freezing the vegetables in the vegetable drawers. A request for repair was made, and a technician arrived and said it need a new seal kit. Had to order the seal kit, and couple of weeks later returned and installed the kit. (Another two days with 3 hour appointment period.) Worked for a couple of weeks, and happened again. This problem continued and 4 different service men were sent out, some of them two or three times, and each had a different reason that the ice maker and the freezing in the vegetable drawer.
Each of the 10 or 12 visits over the next 18 months had three hour appointment windows, and on two occasions the technician did not show up. After 18 months they have decided it could not be fixed, and sent me a E-check that could only be used at a Home Depot. Guess what, I will never buy an appliance from Home Depot again, especially if their warranty program is handled by Asurion. Worst problem I have ever had with any company about an appliance warranty. The last refrigerator I had lasted 16 years without a problem. By the way, the refrigerator was a Frigidaire, French Door.

I've had solid surface counter tops installed by the Home Depot in 2005. Two weeks ago I had a custom island made for my kitchen. When this solid surface was purchased I was told I would always be able to get this material when needed from Home Depot. I went into the Trussville store and spoke to a sales person ** which was very helpful in leaving his flooring department to take me over to the department that sold countertops and was able to pull my older order and confirm my original color QUARRY MELANGE 9041-ML. The supervisor over the counter tops department said she would call other vendors and get back with me the next week! It's been 2 weeks and no word. I decided to call your customer service number using ref# ** on 5-8-15. She said she would have store call back with an update by 11am!
I was contacted only to get information that the product wasn't made anymore and color was discontinued and I should find something else to match! This is not acceptable because I already called directly to WILSONART SOLID SURFACE and they said it's their most popular color. They sent me a sample piece 2 x 2. Perfect match. My new island is only 28 x 42. So I feel my job wasn't big enough for anyone to even waste time researching. If I hadn't called the company myself and gotten a sample that's not DISCONTINUE as the Trussville associate stated then I wouldn't know this wasn't true. I need all countertops to match. Very disappointed that small jobs not as important as my bigger one.
I purchased a lot from Home Depot but assured this will be my last. When I spoke to vendor and they said you're able to call them also to work out something so my counter tops all match. Hopefully you'll help others better because what keep customers coming back is good customer service going beyond like your associate ** did in your Trussville store. Repeat customers keep business growing.

First, the "inconvenient and unhealthy" part; the "deadly dangerous" part will follow. We are a night shift family. We go to bed at 4am and get up at 11. Hodey Ho's delivery company calls and tells us they'll deliver at 8:30am on a workday. We call back to say we must reschedule. They say they will cancel the 8:30am delivery and I will have to call the delivery company warehouse to "try to schedule" another time, but it is very unlikely because "that's when the truck is in your area." Bright and early next morning, here comes the delivery truck and two cheerful guys to roust us out at what would be 3am for you 9-to-5 folks. So we went to work that night with less than five hours sleep.
The next day, after a bleary-eyed night and some exhausted sleep, we found that the Exhaust Hose for the dryer, which we were REQUIRED to purchase at additional cost with the appliance, had been installed in its full 6-foot glory, despite the fact that the exhaust outlet is just two feet from the appliance. The result was a series of twists and tight turns in the corrugated hose that were sure to trap and build up lint in the line, and one of the twists protruded hideously from behind the dryer to greet any and all who entered the laundry room.
But WORST of all... while shortening and REINSTALLING the vent hose, I noticed that the Power Cord for the dryer, which we were also REQUIRED to buy at additional cost with the appliance, had been installed WITHOUT the benefit of the "suitable UL-listed strain relief" as required on page 16 of the installation instructions. Instead, the 240-volt power cord passed free and floppy over the rough and sharp edges of a hole in the dryer housing, where the constant vibrations of an operating dryer would have eventually worn through the insulation and could have resulted in a fire or electrocution fatality. I've called Hody Ho to have this safety issue addressed. I'm waiting their response.

I ordered a unit online because it was too heavy and too large to be transported in my vehicle. I checked that all parts were present before assembly. Was told that they would not exchange a part at the local store, had to bring the whole thing in for exchange to get the one new part. Could order new piece online with 2 or more weeks delivery time. They would pick up the defective unit in 5 days, and then I could order a new one, but no way to guarantee parts would not be defective too, told that I would have to take the chance and see. These parts were missing and defective. Only reason I found them was that I started assembly, and the pieces slid out of the part I was working on. Local store manager would not exchange part, and he had a unit available, the customer service people checked with him. Worst policies on exchange I have ever seen.

The shed from Home Depot arrived in a damaged open box. I spent two hours talking to 5 people at the Home Depot customer service for an email confirmation that they would take the shed box back and give me a full credit refund. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, one rep said, all supervisors are at lunch. What kind of a corporate customer service center would schedule supervisors all to have lunch at the same time! Why does not Home Depot specify its corporate lunch time on its website and customers should not call?!

On 3-9-15 I signed a contract with HD to remove and repair cement board on a 1900 sq.ft home. Required a 20% deposit so wrote a check for $6,354. A month passed, no final measurements, no final costs, no estimated start time. Called Regional Sales Manager on April 11 and cancelled the order and requested deposit returned within 10 days as they mention in their contract. Contract also mentions that they are entitled to 10% of entire cost of the project if cancelled after 3 days of signing. No one is returning my calls so I write to you for assistance. Regional Sales Manager said on the 18th the entire amount would be send, but when will I ever see it and based on the other complaints I wonder if I'll ever will.

Buyers should be aware that Extended Warranty is not serviced by Home Depot (!!!) But a Subcontractor who is out to make money from you! Terrible experiences from home depot extended warranty service!! This is not first time that I had a BAD EXPERIENCE. I purchased cub cadet Riding Lawn Mowers and the extended protection plan. After it went in for warranty service... my lawn mower is cutting the grass unevenly!
I had a similar experience 4 years ago with the extended warranty service. The customer service, I should say, is one of the worst I've encountered. I called H.D warranty dept. explaining to them of how my lawn mower wasn't cutting evenly. Next day BPT warranty company(?) Not Home Depot called and asked about my tractor. I explained to the rep that the lawn mower was cutting the left side of the grass shorter than the right side. She asked me "did you check tire pressure?" I answered "yes." Nothing was wrong with tire pressure and that I did check it. But she ask me 3 times about Tire pressure and her exact words to me, "You need maintenance" and pushed persistently that I needed to have maintenance. I said "I don't need a maintenance" and that I had this issue previously. Maybe balance needs to be adjusted and requested to have it service (under my purchased Extended Warranty).
We went back and forth with the same issue at hand. She did everything in trying to TELL me that I needed to be scheduled for Maintenance. PAY for it of course. (This went on for more than 30 minute.) She said "THAT'S WHY YOU NEED A MAINTENANCE. YOU NEED PAY FOR MAINTAIN FEE." I said "you did not even look my tractor yet telling me to schedule and PAY for maintenance." She replied, " I KNOW. I'M DOING THIS BUSINESS FOR LONG TIME. MAINTENANCE MEAN IS OIL CHANGE, FILTER CHANGE, AND BELT CHANGE..." Lol lol... I went along and asked her, "how is oil, filter, belt change related to the uneven leverage cutting of the grass?" She replied "It does." Does she take me for a fool?
Does Home Depot even screen the subcontractors when they pass on the Extended Warranty that Their clients purchased? I strongly advise people from purchasing their Extended Warranty! Just know that when a problem starts from your equipment know that you're not dealing with Home Depot! You will get easy 30 minute of run around and so called specialists just trying to rip you off into PAYING for Something other than using your Warranty!

We recently remodeled our home. Between us and our builder, we spent quite a large amount of money at Home Depot. We purchased brand new higher end stainless appliances. Not cheap stuff. When buying appliances, Home Depot requires customers to set a delivery date. The sales person told us not to worry because we could push it out if necessary.
As construction progressed, we had to move our delivery date out. “No problem” as Home Depot stated. As we got closer to our date, we were called to schedule the final delivery. At that time we requested to move the date out 1 more week due to a delay with our kitchen flooring. We were told "absolutely not". They could not wait one more week, the appliances had to be delivered. There was ABSOLUTELY NO FLEXIBILITY. Our only choices were to take the delivery or cancel the order. If we canceled and went somewhere else, we would need to re-order everything. We considered it but could not wait another 30-45 days for a special order so we agreed to take everything a week early.
The delivery team brought the appliances. We asked them to put the appliances in the garage. The appliances were brand new sealed in boxes. All of the packaging material looked as it should. No damage, no scrapes, nothing. With all the construction going on, table saws, tile cutting, and drywall dust in the garage, the driver suggested that we leave everything in the sealed in the packages.
1 week later.... We helped the builder move the appliances into the house and started to remove the packaging. Our dishwasher had damage to the front panel. We called Home Depot. They told us not to install the dishwasher until they get back to us. We told the builder to hold off until we get the ok. Since the plumber and electrician were needed, they said it was better to stop work on the kitchen and finish the remainder of the house until we get the ok. A few days later, Home Depot called and said to proceed with the installation. They were sending us a new front panel for the dishwasher. Great news! Exactly what we expected them to do. We also unboxed our refrigerator, washer, dryer, microwave. The plumber hooked up the water lines to the refrigerator and then started peeling off the plastic film. As we did, we found that the refrigerator was damaged too. We called Home Depot again. They said that they would look into it.
A few days later, they called us back and told us that our time limit for reporting damage was up and that there was nothing they could do. They did fix the dishwasher but would not repair or replace the refrigerator. They did tell us that they were very sorry to hear about the damage and our bad luck. They also told us that we should have unboxed everything when it was delivered. It was the middle of a construction zone. That is unrealistic. Why would you open brand new appliances and expose the electronics to dust from tile saws, drywall, and sawdust. That expectation is unrealistic and unhelpful.
This is the 3rd house we have remodeled with mostly Home Depot supplies. There is a Lowe's and Menard's within minutes of the Home Depots we go to but have always gone to Home Depot as our first choice. No more. We have a number of things that we purchased to finish our house. The day before we got the bad news, we just completed another $1,000 run to Home Depot. After hearing the news, we boxed the remaining unused/uninstalled stuff up and will return it and buy somewhere else. We have a beautiful new home with a very high end kitchen. In the middle of it all is a nice new refrigerator with 2 big dents in it.
Home Depot allows customers to review products they purchase. Here is something most people probably don't know about the review process. We tried to post reviews and photos. Home Depot blocked the reviews because they did not meet Home Depot's "review guidelines". We revised the reviews to fit within the guidelines they sent us and resubmitted them. Still blocked. We started looking closer at the negative reviews about products and noticed that negative reviews don't seem to contain any detail. After trying multiple times to post a review and seeing how Home Depot keeps blocking them, we have learned to not trust the reviews on their site.

If your order goes through the first time, the service is maybe a B -, if there's a problem, just give up and take the refund. After 4 days, when I hadn't received a response, I called and was told the order would be there that day. Two days later, I'd heard nothing, so I called back. This time, I was told that the store couldn't find the item and if I didn't hear from them by the end of the day, my money would be refunded, and I would receive a discount on my purchase. Two days later, I called for a third time. The employee was less than useless. First, she couldn't find the notes from my previous calls. Then she wasn't sure how to do the refund, and finally when I tried to re-order, she had to put me on hold. Finally, when I asked to speak to a supervisor, I spent so much time on hold, I gave up. For a company that claims to want to be number one is customer service, they are failing miserably. Shop Lowe's instead.

Asked Home Depot to reschedule with another service company. This time, technician came and said that its due to a broken "belt", they don't carry that part, it needs to be ordered.
Home Depot ordered part, they first said it will arrive in 2-3 days, will be delivered to my place directly, and someone will call to schedule another service appt. Waited again, no one called. So I called the service technician to follow-up, they said per Home Depot, that part is in back order! I called Home Depot to confirm, they now claim they are waiting to hear from manufacturer when it will be available. Called back a few days later, still no ETA, have spoken to two supervisors at this point and it has been over 2 weeks from the first time I reported the issue. The last supervisor said that I could order the part online and they will reimburse the amount, or if they don't think part will come in sooner, they can look at alternative options including full reimbursement for the dryer. He said to give another 2-3 days. So I waited again.
Eventually someone did call to tell me that part is not available to order for another 10 days and add 2-3 days for shipping on top of that. I then asked for a supervisor and expressed that I'll order the part myself like the previous supervisor offered. GE has it online and can ship in 1 day. She said that's not allowed and that I was given the wrong information. Seriously? So I asked to file a claim for full reimbursement instead, so I can actually purchase a new dryer that can be delivered in 3 days! Now she said, there is no guarantee that claim will be paid because it is still within 30 days of service. And if I file a claim, it will cancel the order for the belt! So now I'm basically stuck! No guarantee that I will get my dryer fix or replaced anytime soon. I am beyond frustration on dealing with Home Depot. This so called protection plan is a waste of time, effort, and money!

I bought a Honda EZ Start Lawn Mower Model HRX217VLA on May 26, 2014. It started and worked fine for about three weeks. After that, it would no longer start with the automatic starter but I could start it by pulling the cord. I called Home Depot and was told that I could bring the lawn mower for repair and that it could take four to six weeks before it would be ready. I cut my lawn twice a week so waiting a month or more was out of the question. I continued to use the lawn mower until I could no longer get it to start. I took the lawn mower to Home Depot for repair in December 2014. When I picked up the lawn mower I was charged $63 for repair and told that I must have used old gasoline because there was trash in the carburetor. Actually, I only used the ethanol free gasoline, purchased from Home Depot. They had no response.
My mistake was not trying to start the mower immediately upon receiving it. I assumed it was in working order. Now it is April 2014, the beginning of grass cutting season, and the mower WILL NOT START. I have tried contacting Honda Customer Service for three days and continually get a recording saying that the number is busy. I believe a lawn mower should work for more than one month.

I purchased a Toro recycler for 400.00 at Home Depot. The 1st yr. it worked pretty good, was not assembled very well, so I had to tighten every nut and bolt. I had many parts go bad which Home Depot approved for replacement. Those parts included the belt, the drive cable and clip to hold it to the handle, the front plastic wheels, trailing shield which broke off as well. That was yr one. The next spring I pulled the machine out of storage and refueled it. It started with little trouble, but as time went by 3 mowings,1 per week, it started to slip again in the drive belt. I couldn't believe it was already failing.
I called Home Depot and they told me that it is normal for the belt to be bad and would not be covered this time. They quoted me 135.00 plus parts to repair it and it would be 3 weeks before I got it back. I complained again that I felt it was falling apart and the price did not seem fair when I purchased a 5 yr warranty to make sure nothing would go wrong, Home Depot assured me when I bought it that everything was covered. The manager's name was **. He had informed me that I would not be charged for anything going wrong if I bought this mower. He lied to me and convinced me that I needed to consider purchasing the extra 2 yrs for 80.00 more to ensure that if anything goes wrong I would be covered for 5 full yrs.
Well today I brought my machine back into HD and talked with management again about my wheels failing, the belt is now useless after only a season of mowing, see a pattern here? I told him that I do not feel like they are honoring the warranty. They write it all off to normal wear and tear. I would be charged for anything wrong with it at this point. I also had a new problem, it spews fuel out of the cap this yr. all over the deck if it is filled or tilted. I believe it to be a dangerous machine to run at this point and that was why I decided to go talk to management again and see what they would be willing to do for all this money I spent. He told me he would send it in but the only thing he could do was tell them about the gas leak… The rest would not be covered and I should know that.
I have always bought my tools and I also worked for this Home Depot installing carpet for several yrs in Tumwater. I was **. I am retired now with a bad back and need my machine to assist me with mowing, that is why I bought it. Management would not listen to my complaint about paying for the extra 2 yr warranty on my machine and they did not think that Toro would even replace the leaking cap or tank with charging me for it. I am appalled at this tactic to get your money. They screw you out of what you thought would be covered. I am out the money, the machine is now unsafe to operate. I still have 2 yrs of a warranty that will never be used for anything.
At this point they offered to sell me a Honda mower for 100 dollars off the retail price. I don't have 400 more dollars to piss away to Home Depot and the shady sales tactics. To not honor good customers or to sell subprime products, this machine is the top on the list of machines that are repaired at Home Depot, more than any other mower the recycler 22 inch is the one they see daily. And as I told this to the manager, I could tell he was getting angry and wanted to tell me to leave, as this was all he was going to do for me. I asked him how long it would be before I found out if they would replace the tank. He said "up to 3 weeks." How do you mow your lawn when your machine is gone… you don't. So I gave up, no sense in beating a dead horse.
He knew I was really mad at this point and he told me to come with him. We walked all the way to the other end of the store and he took me to the replacement part area. He handed me a belt, looked for 2 tires to fit, could not find my size and said "well, these don't fit your machine or I would give them to you." So he gave me the 10.44 cent belt and told me that was the best he was going to do. He said that Home Depot wasn't going to lose any money to this machine and I could have the belt for free, but that's it. I shook his hand, thanked him for his time and left. Never again will I buy a Toro. I want my money back. Home Depot ripped me off. That's my nightmare with this machine. I now join the crowd of ripped off customers.

DO NOT do kitchen installations at Home Depot. Home Depot engages a GC which then hires poor quality subcontractors. This is how the GC makes their margin. The subcontractors are paid very poorly so they come with very bad attitudes.

You, the consumer, only see the bad attitude and poor workmanship quality. We have found empty beer cans in our attic after their electrician spent the day in our house.

I was told to go ahead and make the purchase online and then my discount would be credited back to my credit card. I just needed to send the online order number to get the discount applied. So I made the purchase online. I emailed the customer service desk and waited to be notified of when to pick up my lawn mower in the store. The prompt says to wait 2-24 hours for a pick up notification. After 30 hours I called customer service and they told me to go ahead and go to the store to see if it was ready.
When I got to the store, the mower was ready but only one person was working at customer service. She was doing 3 or 4 things at the same time so we had to wait. When she finally addressed us, she proceeded to answer the phone in the middle of us explaining why we were there. We finally signed the papers necessary and took the mower home. I proceeded to use the new mower with no problems at all, but I received a notice the next day from customer service saying since I did an in-store pickup, they could not credit the discount.
I emailed back and forth letting them know that was not a stipulation of the agreement and they said there was no way they could discount the item since it came out of store inventory and told me to go see if the store manager could apply the discount. I went back to the store and was informed that since it was an online order, there was no way they could access the order so they could not do anything, while calling the online customer service people unintelligent. I emailed online back and they finally offered me a gift card for the discount amount which was a pretty quick process. When all said and done, I spent 2-3 hours on the phone, sent 12 emails and went to the store a total of three separate times. I would recommend not ever crossing in-store and online with home depot and probably will avoid going there in the future unless I had to.

Below is a sampling of my experience beginning on June 25, 2014 with Home Depot's subcontractor US Remodelers (631-567-4567), which I have broken down into three categories.
Organizational incompetence: Two visits were made, one week apart, to review the project, make measurements, sign contract. First signing was June 25, 2014. Company receptionist called to make an installation appointment, and a date is set. Receptionist called the next day to make an appointment for the very same installation! The original date was confirmed. Workman called two days later and said he couldn't make it. A new date was set. After the installation, an appointment was made to correct the grouting and to remove streaks in the tub. The workman didn't show up. I can go on and on.
Deceit in workmanship: Despite the two preliminary visits, no one mentioned the need to move the bathroom vanity nor that US Remodelers would not do it. Workman left after the installation of the liner and I discovered that he did not seal all around the tub. In addition, long, gritty streaks were in the tub that needed to be corrected. Workman returned for the sealing and buff the streaks, but said he couldn't complete the sealing because of the vanity. He was not permitted to move it he said. Supervisor came days later and said the solution was to retrofit the tub with a long piece of plastic where the sealant was supposed to be. Weeks later, a small, dull, rough spot appeared on the tub bottom surface. I could go on.
Disdainful attitude toward customers: Manager insisted that the workman showed up. Manager asked, (a day after the liner was installed), if I had changed the vanity after the tub was installed! Manager said the manufacturer stated that the liner is one piece and cannot peel. I read the manufacturers limited warranty to him that indicates peeling as a possibility. Manager questioned what I used to clean the tub. He asked who told me to use Dawn Dish Liquid. The installer had, and I also read to him from the Home Depot brochure on the care of acrylic surfaces, which recommends Dawn. Manager agreed to put in a new liner, but the vanity would not be moved to properly seal the tub area. He could not guarantee that the peeling would not happen again. I could go on. By this time, we were in mid-February, nearly 8 months from the contract signing.

First of all, unless I go in looking extremely HOT, and I don't mean 110 degrees outside everyone seems to be focused on the men. Do you people think that woman are obviously dumb? We are not. As a matter of FACT some of ladies know more about what's in home depot and can do it ourselves, every now and then we do have a question. I personally don't give a crap if it's a man or woman who waits on me. In fact, I prefer a woman simply because they take the job seriously. Men don't care unless they think they can get your number. Oh yes, that happened plenty of times. I go in with my husband all the time, and it's a completely different story. Is it because he has a very intimidating look, or because they assume he's the one with the cash? NO... I own the company and I have my own GOLD card, so does he. Oh believe me he's earned it. NOT because of me. He bust his ** on a daily basis to get his.
These people are jerks, not only are they RUDE, they are downright prejudice. I DON'T THINK A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE if it's your color, your sex or your preference in partner. They need human resources to come in and watch for a few days weeks months. These people have no respect, unless you look like my husband who has a shaved head, stands 6 ft 3 and weighs about 250. All muscle. THEN MAYBE you could get some service. He's all business and really doesn't need help. But us ladies are another story altogether. Maybe we should all walk in the store in our bikini, and we'd get serious service then. But that's unacceptable. So get off your ** HOME Depot and do your freaking job. People are sick of your crap. I don't care if you are a multimillion dollar company, if you don't run it right, IT WILL FALL, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!! LOWES WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR **!!

Purchased a Samsung washer and dryer 14 months ago. Have been having multiple problems, such as steam coming up onto electrical panel during cycle, lots of lint being deposited on clothes, problems with detergent tray, and a poorly done installation. Samsung tried to fix steam issue once under warranty, then Home Depot policy kicked in. Now the control panel is corroded where the steam was coming out and they won't replace it, claiming it is "only cosmetic". I was told to "read my policy". Also service is not available on weekends or evenings so one must take day off of work.
This has been a terrible experience, both in the awful performance of a consumer guide top rated machine and the ambitious promises of service when purchasing the protection. It is obvious based on the dubious response of Home Depot that they have little interest in true protection and just want the revenue. The coverage is certainly NOT worth the cost. I have purchased thousands of dollars of merchandise from Home Depot over the years and due to this, will switch my business to Lowe's and other stores.

I tried to made complete an order online, 4 hours after submitting the order, got an email saying they had attempted to contact me to complete the order, which is a lie because I never received a call from Home Depot (HD). Called them to be notified that my order was cancelled because the payment was rejected, I asked why they cancelled without waiting to contact me, their answer: "because the system cancel it". I called the bank to make sure the credit card was OK and it was. I called HD again, if the order is cancelled, they can't reprocess the same order directly (how silly is that), had to create the order again, by phone, from scratch. 4 hours later, the same "Attempted contact" email without any call received. Called the bank again, said they haven't received any communication from HD and the credit card is still OK. Called HD, same excuse as before, placed another order, again from scratch, because the second one was cancelled.
Placed a new order, again payment didn't went thru, the agent told me that the order had been flagged as possible fraud, that's why it wasn't processing the payment. She would send the order to Order Processing Dept., we set a delivery date. Date before delivery I realized I haven't received the confirmation call, I decided to call HD, guess what, order was cancelled, and this time, no email and no call, of course. Want another bad news, your appliances are no longer at the sale price as before, $200 more expensive now. This time, the gentleman sensed my disappointment and worked it out to honor the original price and this time, the payment went thru, but bad news, can't be delivery tomorrow as scheduled originally, have to wait one more week without my appliances thanks to a Customer Service that serves itself and not to the customer.

I placed an online order then included a number of items including a power washer. The power washer never arrived. When I looked at the delivery status is said "delivered". Apparently, it arrived at the local store damaged and they sent it back. No one made any attempt to contact me, refund my money, or send a new power washer. When I contacted Home Depot (10 days after it was returned), I was told "that's why you get a tracking number". So, if I had lost my tracking number, I never would have known what happened to my power washer and I would have been charged for it. I had to request a refund and then re-order the power washer. This seems to be extremely poor customer service. If Home Depot returns a product then they should make sure a new gets delivered ASAP.

In November 2014, I signed a contract with Home Depot for a small bathroom and powder room remodeling and paid $25,752 in full. The job didn’t start until March 2015 and has been a total disaster. The subcontractor, Romanoff Renovations, uses low paid installers who are not licensed to do electrical or plumbing work and show up late or not at all. Five weeks into the project I still have no functioning shower, tub or toilet in my bathroom. The grout has not even been finished. The first installer hid damaged electrical cables behind the fiberock boards (fire hazard!), did not ground switches above my vanity, and broke a brand new Jacuzzi tub I had purchased. I had to insist on bringing in a licensed electrician to fix his mess. The plumbing was also done incorrectly at first and had to be totally redone by a licensed plumber.
The second installer showed up sporadically and told me he was only paid $1900 for the job by Romanoff Renovations. There was absolutely no oversight or planning and no one from Home Depot ever contacted me during these five weeks to check on the progress of the project. The Project Ambassador from Romanoff also only called me once before the start of the job. I paid a premium price thinking that a large customer-oriented corporation would execute this project professionally and provide quality work. I was sadly mistaken! Do NOT use Home Depot and/or Romanoff Renovations for bathroom renovations unless you want your home to be flooded or burned down. Their work is outright dangerous!

He submitted it to Samsung for "approval" and scheduled an appt. for the following Monday (my washer broke on March 30th, repair was scheduled for Apr. 6th)...I was upset that they couldn't come out sooner but let it go.
On April 6th I had not heard anything from the Contractor, Home Depot or Samsung so I called the contractor. He called back and said Samsung had not approved the repair! They had a week to tell me this but no one contacted us from either company. I was then told by Home Depot's customer service that my machine was still under the 1 year warranty so I had to go through Samsung directly. I spent most of the day trying to get answers and help from Samsung and all I kept getting was the run-around... I had to give them my machine's serial # and product # and all my contact information over and over again to different people. I was finally told that a Samsung contractor would call me back in the next 24 hours.
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! I had to call Samsung again, give them all of my info AGAIN and then they told me to call the Contractor for Samsung which I did and now I've left 2 messages but still NO ONE has called me to schedule a repair time. The problem is not the washer. I love my washer. The problem is that communication and customer service at both Home Depot and Samsung is terrible and time consuming for people who work full-time.

Signed an installation agreement and paid for Home Depot to install a Euroview frameless shower. Two men came to the house and installed the shower. They asked to use my in the wall installed vacuum cleaner stating the one they had was broken. They vacuumed metal shavings and pieces. The metal pieces caught in the brushes of the vacuum wand and burned up the motor to the vacuums wand. The metal pieces damaged the PVC pipe in the walls before getting into the dust collector. The damaged pipes then started friction explosions in the walls. This is $4000.00 dollars to repair and replace.
Second. The two men did not install a part along the bottom of the shower to keep water in. The first time the shower was used many gallons of water flooded our master bathroom. The water soaked into the subfloor and ponded above our kitchen. Three days later the sheetrock ceiling collapsed on the kitchen floor. This cost $21,000.00 to repair. Home Depot refused to repair or pay for this damage. Third. The shower door sags and leaks. The water drains onto the baseboards where it soaks into the sheetrock and rots the walls. Someone from Home Depots Euroview company has come out to adjust the shower door around 9 times. The door still leaks. The shower door still sags. The wall next to the shower has rotted for a second time.
Home Depot's self insurance administrator states that they are not responsible for the damage to my home or for the leaking shower because they did not install the shower. I asked Euroview to repair my home and fix the shower and they said they would not repair anything because a third company actually installed the shower so Euroview is also not responsible for the damage to our home and they will also not repair the leak. Euroview stated that a company named Height Glass actually installed the frameless shower and they are responsible for the damage to our home. They further stated they did not have the address or phone number for this third party contractor. I learned two weeks ago that Euroview is not a company but a brand name for Height Glass Frameless Shower Systems.
All parties refuse to pay for any damage claiming the damage was caused by a subcontractor. The subcontractor (Height Glass) told me I had no proof that they installed a shower system in my home. The paper work only has Home Depot on it. A representative of Euroview stole all of my paperwork from my home and told me they had misplaced it. The bottom line is that Home Depot does not stand behind the people they hire to install things in your home and they actually have no insurance. They claim they are self-insured.

Nice people. Great prices. A little irritation with delivery fee and the time to receive fridge. But if you're going to save $500.00 to $1,000.00 off of floor pricing you're going to have to order and have some wait time. That's what I know. An A+ on price.

Well, sorry I'm not a tile expert and had no idea there was more than one shade since the display only shows one and doesn't mention there are different shades. Now they are refusing to replace the tile. Such a big mess. I'm so upset. I spent over $700 on that tile and now most of it, which wasn't the original color I picked was what I ended up purchasing because of this employee's incompetence and the manager gives me a 800-Home Depot number and tells me to complain to them, he can't do anything about. This is so wrong!!

In June 2014, I requested an estimate to replace windows in a breakfast room. A Home Depot salesperson came, measured, offered advice and final offered a deal including 24 month 0% interest. We signed the contract and immediately they charged 1/4 of the cost. A technician needed to come and take final measures within a week, and work was going to be done in about 4 weeks, and at that point I would pay the rest. However, he said I wouldn't make the 1st payment till work is done, because it takes about 2 months to get the 1st bill. I agreed to terms and signed the contract. They didn't come in a week as promised. It took me 3 weeks to find somebody to talk. A technician came to take accurate measures to order windows & said he was not a HD employee but a contractor.
After looking at the job he said the work promised by the salesperson couldn't be performed. It wasn't about price. He said technically it couldn't be done. I tried to reach the salesperson for 2 weeks, calling different departments and getting different answers. I tried to talk to a supervisor who was not helpful finally I was able to reach the Field Supervisor. This person apologized for the problem and the poor handling by HD's employees, and tried to find a solution, since I still tried to get the work done with HD. After 2 weeks he said that HD could not perform the work as promised and canceled the job. By that time it was the end of the summer. The work wasn't done when needed, but I received a bill to pay for part of it.
When I got the bill, I called HD and told them if they weren't going to do the job, I wasn't going to pay. They agreed & eventually reimbursed me for the advance payment and the late fee from the HD card since it was their fault everything was delayed and eventually canceled. However, they still reported me to the credit bureau as having defaulted on my payments. I approached them to help me clear my credit report. They refused to change this and the credit bureau informed me it will stay on my records for 7 years. When I appealed to them again, explaining the damage this is causing me, they hid behind the excuse that the sales department made the error, but the credit department was a different department, and they were not going to help.

Purchased a Maytag Washer in 2011 from Home Depot in Charlotte. Also made the mistake of purchasing the extended warranty and service plan. Complete rip-off and big mistake. Our washer has stopped filling with water, and we called Home Depot to get it fixed. They sold the service contract to a third-party and feel they have no longer got an obligation to us. The service company is foreign and the service representatives do not speak English. They have promised to call back with an English-speaking supervisor, but they have not called back. We are on our 3rd call to them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE HOME DEPOT EXTENDED PROTECTION! It is not worth the 79.99. It is not even worth the paper it is written on.

Home Depot (and other big box stores) sells Philips T5, 12 volt Wedge light bulbs for your low voltage landscape lighting. After using these to replace some burnt out bulbs, the same lights kept failing. I thought I had a problem with the fixtures, but replacing the bulb always corrected the problem...for a few weeks. Turns out these bulbs are rated (on the packaging) for 300 hours use! So, if you have your landscape lights illuminated for 6 hours/day, expect to change out every bulb in less than two months. Solution: Go online and find similar bulbs that are rated for thousands of hours use. You will also pay about one-tenth what HD charges for the bulbs and save yourself the hassle of changing burned out lights incessantly.

My family and I love to go to home depot. But recently I'm thinking twice before I go! The past 3 times I visited the Santee location was so bad especially the last time, I would never ever go there anymore!! You can see the people slowly working and talking with each other but they don't want to help!! They are so rude and unpleasant. We asked one employee to cut the large sheets of wood and he said ok but never showed up!!! We found someone else.
Another thing that made me sick was this, my 9 year old son asked me if he can get the woods from trash? I said ok we will asked because in the other locations they let you get the woods from trash can for free! But this time when I asked this guy, he said I have to ask, with a very tired face! I heard him asking one lady. Looks like she was very annoyed with this question!! He came to us and said they are trash but we sell them!!! Seriously??? Who sell stuff from trash can? Then put it on the shelf and put price on it! I felt so sick by their attitude... but when we went to cashier she didn't charge us for that broken 10" stick. Make up your mind people! Is the trash for sale or not???

Purchased a Procom gas fireplace online in September 2014 (ordered it well before I needed the unit because it's normally a sell out). I needed to have a bookcase modified to accept the unit and was not able to have it installed until early Feb 2015. Plumber installing discovered a broken log and more important gas valve would not work. Contacted Home Depot. They said sorry past 90 days deal with the manufacturer. Manufacturer was not answering customer service calls so I requested assistance from the BBB -- that worked, the manufacturer contacted me, unfortunately parts were not available but they agreed to refund but it had to be done through the original seller -- Home Depot.
I called HD customer service 2/24 - explained the situation and while I waited they contacted Procom and verified the return arrangements. Customer service rep said I would receive an email with return instruction and purchase price would be credited to my debit card -- before leaving I was asked to take a short customer survey, which I did and gave them high marks for the professional service I received. 3 days later I get an email from HD, but it's not return instruction - it's from another department called resolution expediting who are now "looking into this."
Oh yes the service rep has the tag on his name "I put customers first" -- you just know how this is going to work out. Sure enough 3/02 another email from the guy that puts customers first. Procom doesn't tell them they have to take something back and they won't help any further, no refund and the head office agrees. Bottom line they flat out lied to me and yes I will take my business to Lowe's

A week later a technician showed up and said that the washer needed a new computer which was ordered and shipped to my house.
On February 28th, another technician came to my house and tried to put the computer on the washer but the washer did not work...still the door does not open. This person, named **, said that the washer needed another part -- a demo drive....The part never came and I have been contacting by phone calls and emails to Home Depot and have received too many promises, including a refund check for the washer. But until now, I have not received anything and it has been over a month. My question is, why do they offer an extended protection plan and when it comes to be necessary, we do not have it to be effective? I am very upset and never thought that such a company would take so long to solve a problem.

So my point here is that, why have I never had an issue with any of the products and services I have received from Home Depot.

My wife and I moved to FL. We bought a house and the AC broke. It needed to be replaced. We just took a loan out for our house. Our credit was stretched. The only way we could afford a new AC was a deferred interest loan through Home Depot. With temperatures hitting 97 Degrees and the house over 100 degrees, we had to do something. We purchased an AC unit through Home Depot. H.D would only give us 1 yr to pay off a deferred interest loan of $10,000.00 at an apr of 26%. With temperatures over 100 degrees in the house we took the loan. Now we are barely able to make the minimum payments and will probably be dead before we can pay this loan off. We are going to try to get a loan through our bank that has a better rate but our credit is getting trashed now and lenders may shy away. I feel trapped and hopeless.

They told me that they need both pieces, so I waited for an associate to put the tank in my car & traveled all the way back home. Got home, had the bottom put in my car, pulled up to the door, went in and requested assistance unloading. I waited 30 minutes for someone to come help.
Once I parked, I came in the store, and was told two different reasons why they couldn't exchange it. First they said because I didn't have a paper receipt, but what sense does that make because I purchased it online?! Then they said they don't carry that particular item in the store. I was sssooo heated by then. So now I gotta wait for someone to help load this broken toilet back in my car & I'm just SOL!!! To top it off, they rejected my review on their website!

This was a frustrating experience from day one. It basically all came down to communication or lack thereof. The sales rep had a great story how they would tell us everything going on, how the contractors would know exactly the way we wanted things, and they couldn't leave until we were happy, etc. That never happened.
The project manager was basically non-existent as my wife and I had to constantly call to tell him what they messed up that day. Eventually, we had to start staying home from work to make sure they were doing things right and when we couldn't, we had to leave very detailed notes, which were still sometimes ignored or just not followed right.
Some things messed up include putting outlets in the wrong spots, switches on the outside wall in the wrong spot(now making unnecessary holes in our wall (creating more work for us), tiling half the floor until we told them it wasn't right, arguing with the plumber that we wanted the water pipes to be moved into the wall (which we were told needed to be done by HD), they broke the vanity so Home Depot was gracious enough to replace that for free, the trim around the door and floor is also not flush against the wall, so lots of room for water damage(though I'll caulk it up), the list goes on. We never had any clue who was coming over or doing what on any given day so juggling this while getting our 8-month old out of the house became a hassle. A two-week job became three, which is somewhat expected, but had they done half the thing right the first time, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Now we are waiting for final inspection, but there are already leaks and they never hooked my radiator back up. The reason this isn't hooked up is because when redoing the floor, they added about an inch to it, so the pipe doesn't meet the radiator anymore, they also managed to turn the pipe 90 degrees so It faces the wall. I asked about it several times and was assured it wasn't a problem and they would take care of it. Now they claim they are "done" with no resolution, basically just leaving me to fix it. In the end, I wasn't satisfied with the quality of work and the communication between the project manager to the contractors and to us as both were practically zero.

I have been a Home Depot customer for over 15 years. I have a Home Depot credit card with a limit of $5500.00. I writing to express my disappointment in your customer service policy and to tell you about the complete runaround I have received from you store #1266. This whole purchase has been an absolute nightmare.
Let me start from the beginning on August 31st, 2014. I purchased an Amana Admiral washer and dryer set from this store and paid for it on a 12 month promotional zero interest if paid in 12 months. The washer and dryer were delivered to my home on September 6, 2015. I was doing laundry on November 26, 2014 and when I went do put retrieve the wash to put in dryer when I opened the washer the drum was completely full of water. I tried to set the dial to spin cycle again and nothing happened. I had to take the soaking wet laundry out of washer, wring it out by hand then take it to the laundromat and extract the water out and dry the close.
On November 27, I called home depot and spoke to someone in appliances who told me to contact the Maytag to honor the one year manufacturer's warranty. I did that by calling 1-800-462-9824. I contacted Maytag on 12/2/15 with model and serial # of washer. They told me they would contact their vendor C&E Appliances who deals in this region and schedule an appointment to come to my home and fix the machine. They gave me a date of 12/29/15 between the hours of 8 AM to 12 PM. I called C&E and Maytag at 2PM that day because they were a no show. They rescheduled for Wednesday 12/31/15 at 2PM. The repair person came, evaluated the problem and stated he had to order parts.
As of 1/6/15 I never heard a word from anyone and began calling the local repair person ** and C&E Appliance. I was told by ** that the parts was ordered and will be delivered to my home. On 1/12/15 I received a delivery UPS with the part. Called C&E and they stated that the other part was on back order and should ship in a week.
As of February 17, 2015 still no part. That's when I told my nephew ** my total frustration with this whole thing. Having to drag my clothes to the laundromat when I have a new set in my basement that I used maybe 12 times tops before it broke. I asked my nephew to assist me in dealing with Home Depot for a return of this merchandise. I am recovering from a cancer surgery and undergoing Chemotherapy. Having deal with this was draining me.
My nephew talked to numerous employees from your store # 1266. This went on for two weeks and finally the second part was delivered on 2/19/15. To that end they refused to take back the merchandise and return my money in the form of cash since I only have a $74.00 balance on that particular promotion. Store #1266 insists that the policy is that they have three attempts to fix the problem before letting me return this defective merchandise.
I am thoroughly disgust with the run around I received and I'm considering escalating this to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I can't believe this is your idea of customer satisfaction. I am making a final appeal to Home Depot at the corporate level to do the right thing by a long standing customer and refund my money for this purchase. I have attached the receipt for your convenience.

This product was poorly packaged when received wrapped in plastic with minimal cardboard on the sides. This came in 4 packages (3 doors and track).
I have contacted Home Depot several times and they have indicated "the vendor" will not replace the broken door and I would have to repackage the entire 300 pound item and send it back and then reorder a whole new door. They also indicated I would have to pay return postage. This was very expensive to ship. I talked to a supervisor she indicated she had reached out to 'the vendor' and they would not replace the one broken door. She indicated I would have to repackage and send back the entire item.
I live 4 hours from a Home Depot store without adequate transportation, so returning to the Home Depot store was not an option. I am an older woman and have already invested money to have contractors install the track and two good doors, thinking Home Depot and Custom Door and Mirror would provide a replacement door. I had no idea I would have to return 3 doors and a track to get a replacement broken door.
Home Depot also indicated the package would have to be repackaged. Since I had to cut the plastic wrap off and only the sides were covered with minimal cardboard, I asked how to repackage to send back. They indicated I would have repackaged appropriately to have the package returned without any suggestions on how that could be completed. I just want the broken door replaced and the door pulls.

I set up a secondary account to pay my balance online and later I received an email notice that the payment didn't go through. I contacted my bank and discovered the account # they gave me was for internal use and not for bill-paying (I think I just might have a complaint against that bank too). I then had to delete the payment account on the home depot online pay site (I couldn't just replace the erroneous account # with the good one). After I added a new payment account I found I couldn't make the payment online and won't be able to for 2 months. I've never been late with any payments and always paid this card in full and online because it was convenient to use it in the store for some purchases and make my payments online. Now, with an additional charge for late payment, I have to present payment in another form.
Let me be clear I've never had a problem with Home Depot or their products and I will certainly continue shopping there - it's just that I won't be using their credit card (actually Citibank) and probably won't spend as much money there because I usually don't carry much cash and maybe they'll have a problem with other debit/credit cards from me so it isn't worth the hassle. My real complaint is against Home Depot's affiliation (and so duplicity) with a corporation such as Citibank whose (in my opinion) primary objective is to line the pockets of their greedy board members (as if they weren't already made filthier rich with taxpayer bailouts).

In late 2014 I stopped using the card, paid my balance and didn't think anything of it until I decided to cancel the card and redeem my points for gift cards in early 2015. At this point I found out that when I paid off the balance in late 2014 the interest on the balance hadn't been counted yet and therefore it was put onto the next bill. So for the next few months after I had paid the balance, the interest (a charge in the area of $7) accrued "late fees" until I realized what had happen a few months later. At this point the final bill was a whopping $10. I paid the bill (because honestly that is my fault), called up Home Depot, canceled the credit card and tried to redeem my points.
It was at this point they said they would not redeem any points because the account was delinquent, and refused to look into the matter further. I think it's safe to say that though the mistake in the end is my fault, this is still ridiculous. 5 years of usage with their card and they won't look into the matter all over a $10 bill that I paid without complaint. This is bad business, though I realize this is Citibank’s and the reward programs failure but because it all has Home Depot's seal of approval I will hold it as their fault all the same. I would not encourage anyone to have or use a Home Depot credit card, and would discourage anyone from shopping at their store where possible as they clearly don't care about their customers.

Home Depot carries a great selection of air filters for HVAC home systems. However, the industry wide rating standard is MERV, minimum efficiency rating value. The consumer should not be expected to understand exactly what goes into determining the MERV #, but should have a consistent method of tracking and comparing. Unfortunately, Home Depot lists their rating as an HPR value. Without a great deal of research, the typical homeowner cannot relate HPR to MERV. What is Home Depot and their filter manufacturers hiding?

My credit has always been in good standing. I had my Home Depot Credit card for years, even bought and paid off a kitchen remodeling job. I switched to e-billing in August of 2014. I knew there was a small balance, so I awaited an e-bill or a reminder. Soon it was the holiday season and I forgot the balance, when due etc... I attempted a purchase in January, it was declined. I found out my account was in arrears, and the worst was in sunk my credit score over 150 points! Aside from that, they argued it was "fair" -- even though they never sent an e-bill or a reminder, which I assumed they had my e-mail address since I was receiving their e-mail advertisements. Further, they called my old land line number, and blamed me for not updating the information. They did re-reimburse me for the late fees, but my credit rating now has to be re-built. I CAN SEE NOW WHY THEY WERE HACKED, THEIR CREDIT SERVICING IS POORLY MANAGED.

This past week was a good for me and my spring cleaning. Also, it was a good week because I found so many trivial items lingering over the years in my garage that had home depot stamp on it. Bad part is I didn't have a receipt for about $500 worth of items I intended in taking back to Home Depot. Obviously now I realize I am a dummy for going, considering I am a black man with many different miscellaneous items trying to give back to Home Depot for a gift card. In hindsight I saw no harm in exchanging items I didn't need for card to get items in the future I may need. Worse part about this is that the Business world will never understand race, culture, status among us all. Being black, young and willing to exchange without a receipt doesn't always mean I am a thief in need of a fast buck, but unfortunately to Home Depot in Downey Ca, it does.
I probably didn't make my case, getting mad and irate about how I was being viewed while trying to exchange all these items. If they only understood without first judging my exterior, they would saw a young black man who helped his father in law clean out his garage and truck, and found a bunch of items that belonged to Home Depot, and it was simply a favor to return these items without any malice or illegal activity involved. I tend to believe the biggest part of this is never keeping the receipt to items I buy, but the second fault is that because I am black, that it often pays to have that same receipt to avoid the stigma of criminal activity in my nature.
Home Depot will not ever be my choice of home improvement purchases again, because the way their managers made me feel hurt deeply because I was merely doing someone a favor I respected. I have definitely learned a lot today. Learned that discrimination still exist and it is underwritten in bylaws and manuals for stores and businesses to beware of humans that look like me, without even understanding that all of us do not steal and under mind the system. That some of us are just that, legit consumers who simply overbought and decided to return those overbought items in an attempt to obtain a gift card for maybe some more recent items to use later. Wow, what a world, what a way to lose out huh. Peace.

They used a grinder, a drill, a hammer. They toss my dryer with no regards to my personal property. They left my home and I was left with a broken washer for over a week till they got a new part.
So finally in February 3, 2015 they came, added the part. To my surprise my water drum is all grinded. I called Home Depot to place a complaint. I was told a supervisor would call me.

So let me start out by giving some info, we had originally planned to purchase a new fridge & washer/dryer. We have a limit on our debit card, so both purchases were too much for the limit we have. So we tried to do the fridge, and the site was not working, so I went on to the washer/dryer. It said it went through, but about 30 min later, I get an email saying it declined and it said this:
"Thank you for shopping at homedepot.com. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the appliance order because we were unable to obtain authorization on your credit card. We suggest that you contact your issuing bank for more information about this issue. As a result of the authorization issue, your requested delivery date cannot be confirmed. The Home Depot values your business and would like to help you complete your purchase. One of our representatives will reach out to you via phone within 1-2 days to see if they can help resolve the issue. For immediate resolution, please contact The Home Depot Appliance Hotline at 1-877-946-9843."
And this happened because of the limit, we paid off our cards earlier that day. So reading that, I thought we were fine with not having any charges because it deleted the card and I figured I would have to redo everything when I wanted/could to redo it. I tried this Saturday night, so fast forward to Monday at noon, my husband calls me asking me if I bought the appliances, I of course said “no, it declined”. Turns out they AUTOMATICALLY redid the order, as a "convenience" to customers. Unauthorized. As if things do not change in a couple days!! I ended up having to get new tires so appliances were out of the question after we put the order in for the fridge. That should have been the end of that but no! Home Depot went ahead and did what they wanted.
AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT, at the same time the payment for the unauthorized appliances went through, we had a random charge for $537 from GEORGIA! We are in TX! So the site is NOT SAFE AND SECURE - someone got a hold of our card info and used it! The bank sent a fraudulent charge email at the same time of the appliance issue, and we told them we had tried, and that it was us. So they ok'd the appliance 1900 charge plus this 500 charge not knowing it wasn't us. This went through the same time the appliance charge was redone by the people who deal with that. Next time, we are doing cash. Worst website ever.

I bought a washer/dryer from HD in Dec 2013. I would normally have paid cash or with my credit card, but an in-store rep put a hard sell on me, and I allowed myself to be swayed into signing up for a HD credit card. 12 months with no interest, what could go wrong? The rep told me to just setup 12 equal monthly payments once I got my card - pretty simple right? I didn't get my first statement until Mar 2014, whereupon I immediately setup 12 equal monthly payments through online banking. I never paid much attention to the monthly statements, and shame on me for that. As it turns out, I would have had to setup 9 monthly payments and had it paid off by Dec, since it took HD 3 months to get the card to me (during which time I couldn't make any payments, since I didn't even know my account #!).
When I got my January 2015 statement, lo and behold, they charged me $268 in interest, even though my outstanding balance was only $121!! I immediately called HD credit services to see if they could reverse the interest charge if I paid the outstanding balance out immediately. Predictably, they refused. Great job, Home Depot. I'm sure their credit services is outsourced, but by teaming up with a quasi loan shark operation, my brand loyalty to HD has completely evaporated, and I will be taking all of my home renovation business elsewhere in the future.

We went to this store to place our order, but they didn't have samples of the door for us to look at and were not very knowledgeable about the product. Our order was not placed in store, but online when we got home. We were contacted by the garage door manufacturer/installer the next day to set up for measurements. After not hearing anything after a week, and not seeing their online installation portal update, we called the Home Depot store, to follow up. When speaking with our installation contact, she informed us that they do not have any information, and that we would need to contact Clopay (the manufacturer/installer) for any further information about our install.
After about 8 weeks, we finally got our doors installed. We were initially told the timing would be 4-6 weeks. The whole experience was not good to say the least, but the doors look really good. Now, we have a small installation issue, and the store said that we're on our own. We need to contact the installer again to resolve the problem.

I purchased a Dewalt DC305K 36V Recip Saw from Home Depot online. The saw arrived dirty and scuffed up and looked used in my opinion. Not in the same condition as any other Dewalt tool I've purchased in the past and I have bought many. I'm a big Dewalt fan and I have always been happy with their products in the past. Unfortunately this time I wasn't happy.
There was NOTHING in the case other than the saw and the charger. No paperwork what so ever! No booklet, no manual, no warranty information! I've had numerous problems with the saw so I decided to write a review on Home Depot's website. Needless to say my first review was rejected because I put too much "personal information" on my experience with Home Depot in the review so I revised it.
That was also rejected even though I only wrote specifically about the problems with the saw. Don't get me wrong, I love Dewalt tools and I have purchased many in the past and have always been happy. What irritates me is that Home Depot sent me a saw that was obviously used and not working properly and had NO paperwork!
All I ever received was the dirty saw, the charger, the case and the packing list. Nothing else! Unfortunately for me, I didn't notice it right away because it sat in my closet for a couple months until my job started. Now I have to deal with sending it back to Dewalt because it's still covered under warranty and I'll have no saw to complete my job.

I bought a fridge and dishwasher from Home Depot online, with delivery installation and haul away. It cost me $400 additional in plumbing services and 2.5 days off work with 6 hours of phone calls trying to resolve all of the issues Home Depot caused with lack of full disclosure about what 'delivery,' 'installation,' and 'haul away' does and does not include, and acting upon multiple false promises for specific problem fixes and other false information from poorly Home Depot trained workers which were never honored.
Three days before delivery (delivery scheduled for Dec 12), I called the phone number on my receipt to ask what I need to do before they come to deliver, to prep for installation. I was told that there was nothing I needed to do, even when I specifically asked about uninstalling. The online system and receipt says nothing about having to have all appliances out and a water line for the fridge in place, and neither did the phone representative, even after I specifically asked about prepping and uninstall. I took a day off work, waited 15 feet from the door on the sofa, and the delivery did not show up on Dec 12. I had a phone call that said they came, but no one was home, so they left. They could have called while they were there, but didn't. I replied to a text one hour earlier to confirm that I was home. I really don't believe they came at all. I would have heard them.
I called multiple numbers, with nearly 2 hours on hold and calls that Home Depot dropped, back in the queue again. Finally, I reached a supervisor who promised to have delivery Dec 13 first thing in the morning. I waited all day again Dec 13, and delivery showed up at 3:30 pm. When the delivery person arrived, he immediately, before walking into the kitchen, told me that I had to have had all appliances already removed before he could install. He would not uninstall. I explained that this was the opposite direction that I was given by Home Depot. He said that this was common, most homes have it wrong and have not uninstalled before arrival. Clearly, I am not the only one who received the false promises from Home Depot.
I called the delivery service as the delivery person suggested. They told me to call Home Depot, who then told me just to have someone else uninstall, leave the appliances on the porch, and then they would haul them way for me. These calls took 2 hours again, the vast majority of that time was on hold. Nothing was said about a 30-day window within which to accomplish the uninstall and get Home Depot schedulers to send a truck to my house to haul away the old appliances. Given the holidays, I could not get someone to the house until January 10 to uninstall. I then left a message at Home Depot to have the old appliances hauled away and left a message. No one returned the call. Given the average of 2 hours per time that I tried calling them, was transferred from department to department, phone calls dropped, etc., I decided to try online means to contact them.
I then used the Home Depot survey completion to request contact from Home Depot. Nearly two weeks later, instead of having someone call me, they sent me an email to tell me I had to call a specific number at Home Depot, that they would not contact me as requested. Last week, I called that number for Home Depot, and after 52 minutes on the call, mostly on hold, she told me that it would be a while, so I should just hang up and a supervisor would return the call on the following business day. No one returned the call. I then wrote a reply email back to the person who emailed me, and she now says that they will not pick up the old appliances. I must find another service to do this because we are now 30 days past the time of delivery and they do not haul away 30 days after delivery.
I paid for haul away, and no one ever told me about a 30-day window, and Home Depot was contacted repeatedly within the 30-day period and failed on multiple occasions to, in any sense of good faith, attempt to complete the order with haul away. I spent over 6 hours on the phone on hold over all these calls, and also spent 2 days off work waiting for delivery. I spent $400 and another half day at home from work while a different plumber was contracted to uninstall and install what Home Depot was paid to do. I now have to spend more to find someone else to haul away the old appliances, even though Home Depot already took money from me for a total purchase package that included delivery, installation, and haul away. Who will make Home Depot pay?

Very dissatisfied with my experience: I ordered a washer and dryer, to be delivered & installed on 1/17/15. Total order was $1,429.67. The delivery men that came on 1/17 (who were extremely rude and unprofessional) alerted me that washer was damaged, and the dryer was probably damaged too (based on the appearance of the damaged box). After showing me a large dent in the washer, they asked if I still wanted the product. Obviously, I said no and asked for new products. They said, "you'll be contacted in 24-48 hours to reschedule." I did not hear from anyone in that time frame, so I called Home Depot customer service on Monday, 1/19. "In 24 hours you'll hear from someone." Well, I didn't hear from anyone until Wednesday, 1/21, and scheduled delivery for that Friday.
Fast forward to Friday, 1/21, I receive a call from the delivery driver - who indicated that he was delivering a washer. I asked if the dryer was coming as well. To which he responded, "No, I think that's still being repaired... think they're fixing XX part" What? I am not paying $1,429.67 for refurbished products. I asked him to cancel the order, and immediately phoned Home Depot customer service and explained the situation, reiterating that I wanted to cancel my order.
After being placed on hold for 15 minutes, the customer service rep - who was admittedly very helpful & professional - came back online after speaking with the delivery dispatcher, and said the dryer was probably on the truck to be delivered. Probably? I confirmed I still wanted to cancel the order, and she confirmed this with the delivery service. She indicated I would receive my refund in 48-72 hours.
Well here we are, 5 days later - and no refund. I just phoned Home Depot, and customer service "called the manufacturer" and said they are still waiting for a refund from the manufacturer, but I may have my returned funds in "3 days." This is very disturbing to me as a consumer on multiple fronts: I made my transaction and placed my order on homedepot.com, not with the manufacturer. I should not be waiting to receive my refund because of a transactional holdup between the manufacturer and Home Depot. Are they providing refurbished products, marketed as new products?

Ordered appliances from home depot online. Appliances were delivered on scheduled delivery date, except they were all damaged. The stove side panel was completely buckled out and the gasket on the fridge was dented so we were worried about the seal. We saw both things when they delivered the appliances and the stove was written on the invoice and they said they would come back. The gasket they claimed was from heat and would warp into the correct position. It never did, so we called them and asked to have a new fridge delivered when they delivered the replacement stove. We had someone come to our house on a weekday for the delivery to hook up the gas for the range and be there for the delivery because we both work M-F 8-5.
On Wednesday the delivery people came and inspected the fridge and left. They did not even have new appliances in the truck to deliver and said they would schedule another delivery date. We have no idea why they even bothered to come out with no replacement products. So we had our third delivery attempt scheduled for that Saturday.
On Saturday the delivery guys come and have a fridge on their truck and no stove. Their order only has a fridge and picking up our defective stove, and they won't even give us the replacement fridge because it's in the same order and they can't do half of the order. After grueling hours of calling home depot, home depot online, the delivery service, and GE we finally confirm having our appliances delivered the NEXT Saturday, 4 delivery attempts, and 2 weeks after our initial order. Let me mention that we do not have a working stove or oven at all and cannot cook anything besides in the microwave, for two weeks now!
We confirmed both appliances would be on the truck, we confirmed the part number, and that they would both be delivered on Saturday, with two separate parties. Guess what? On Saturday, the delivery people came with a fridge and no stove, AGAIN. Now we have to wait til next Friday again. Next Friday they are attempting their FIFTH delivery THREE weeks later. This time they offered to replace our bad fridge with the new fridge, but the gasket on the new fridge was even worse than the gasket on our current fridge. I do not know why GE cannot properly ship appliances without breaking them and why home depot and GE coordinating cannot organize a date to deliver both appliances together.
This is a huge inconvenience to us who have to eat out for 3 weeks. And who have to devote free time and wait here for deliveries that never happen. Last Saturday, yesterday, my fiance had to sit on the phone with Home Depot for hours on his birthday arguing with the people and they refuse to adequately compensate us for our troubles and inconvenience. We tried to talk to manager Trevor at GE, who said he would call us back and never did, and we talked to Terrence Home Depot online manager who tried to be helpful, but would not offer us enough compensation. I am thoroughly disgusted with this whole process and will never buy anything from Home Depot or GE again. Stay tuned for next weeks adventure when they attempt to deliver our appliances for the fifth time...

I am 72 years old man. Went to Home Depot off Power and Germann in Mesa. Bought some heavy sheetrock. I was parked in the loading zone right up front by the main big door, where a big sign was posted (We are here to help you load the fastest and most professional way). After paying for the merchandise I asked the cashier if I could get some help loading. She said "Go outside and find Juan. He will help you." So I did and was standing by my truck for about 20 minutes. No Juan.
Went back to customer service desk and was told to "Go wait outside and I will send you help." Not to mention the whole place had maybe 3 or 4 customers, waited another 15 minutes and must had about 4 or 5 employees walking by and looking at me with nothing to do... Finally 2 young men walking to the store to shop stopped and asked me if I need help after they noticed how hard it was for an older guy to load 12 sheetrock by himself. Take that damn 'Here to help bs' sign off Home Depot. It sounds good but was never implemented in my case and I am sure hundred others.

I purchased a GE Ref in Home Depot back in 10/2011 w/ an extended protection plan along with other appliances for a total of $ 3545. First I had issues with the ice maker, then the front door got broken, and 2 wks ago all of the sudden the GE Frig complete system shut down. Every time you call 800-466-3337 be ready to be on hold at least 30 min to 1 hr and every time you call you will get a different response or I should say an "Excuse", but of course nothing will been done.
Customer service is the worst of the worst, they don't care if you have kids or the situation that you are in. They said that the services tech will come at 9 am and here I'm waiting and waiting until 4:30 pm. Then, they said: "The part has been send out to you already. Just wait for it by tomorrow". A week later, nobody knows where the part arrived, if arrived, but for sure it was not in my house. After this nightmare, I just want to get my money back, and please share with friends and others not to make the same mistake I've made of buying at Home Depot...

Do Not Use Home Depot Home Services. Check out the warning on the the BBB web page. There is a warning review about Home Depot.
My story: The sub-contractors (3 different sub-contractors in 1 year and 9 months) H.D. used to put siding on my house was Eagle Cement Company. They walked on my $18,000 metal roof denting it and now it leaks. They screwed into my $13,000 Pella Windows and they leak. They did not put the center support column back up on the front porch awning. Now the porch has cracked in half and has sunk 1/4 inch pulling it away from the house. All 6 windows and a sliding glass door were not wrapped. Wind blows through them.
They were supposed to deliver and replace 600 sq ft of rotted plywood. Only 200 sq ft was delivered, even after I told them they put the siding on over 400 sq ft of rotted plywood. Now the rotted plywood is falling out because they did cap anything, leaving the interior walls protected by insulation and siding. My electric bills last winter for a 1300 sq ft house were over $400.
Home Depot claimed no responsibility for damages done by their sub-contractors. Leaving me to go after the contractor's insurance. And now Home Depot will not honor the warranty because the siding was damage by another company. This is a bait and switch scam. DO NOT USE HOME DEPOT. LOOK AT THE COMPLAINTS. WHEN THEY SAY THEY'VE SETTLED A COMPLAINT, IT'S TO THEIR SATISFACTION. THEY HAVE RUINED MY HOUSE. If you would like proof just ask.

My bill never came to me, I finally got one month past due date. I paid the balance except for the late fee. I called and spoke with someone. They said they'd remove it. Next month, they hadn't removed the late fee, and now they were charging me a late fee and interest on top of a late fee for a balance that was already paid. I called once again. I agreed to pay one late fee. The representative said he'd remove the other one if I gave him my payment information then or made the payment by the due date. I don't trust giving payment information over the phone because of identity theft.
I made the payment well before the next due date. Now the next month comes around, and they charged me another late fee on top of the late fee that they promised to remove. This company is abusing consumer credit confidence. Their customer service is a joke. When I called to complain, the woman refused to remove any fees at all. DON’T GO TO HOME DEPOT OR USE THEIR CREDIT CARD. I worked for Home Depot for 8 years. Trust me don't go there.

BUYER BEWARE! Bought a John Deere D170 mower. After only 76 hours the transmission failed. Home Depot will not refund or replace. Only option is repair (two weeks to two months). The TuffTorq K46 transmission that came on the mower is a throw-away remove-and-replace unit. That means same problem all over again when I get it back. DON'T buy any mowers from HD with a TuffTorq transmission! The K46 transmission is made for "lawn" tractors for flat, small lawns. It is advertised for "Flat/Hilly" lawns up to 4 acres. It just won't do it! I learned too late! They got my money now I'm stuck. Why is this allowed to happen? I still have no rights under the Consumer Protection Act to deal with these crooks and they know it. Other brands sold at HD have the same transmission. DON'T BUY IT!!!!

Over a dozen times, we have had repairmen come into our home to try and fix it, leaving us with no way to wash our clothes, but travel 30 min. into town daily to the laundromat, no reimbursement whatsoever. The HDPP still wants to try to fix our problematic and defective washer because they refuse to give our money back so that we could buy a dependable washer. The Home Depot Protection Plan is a scam! Do Not purchase this! The only protection they promise is to themselves, NOT the consumer.

Signed contract in November and was told would be middle of January before they could get started. Had to send in tile choices several times and designer was not very helpful in helping me choose. Then never heard from anyone for over 2 months even though I was told they would call - finally had to call Home Depot. In the meantime already paid for two months to home depot. No one at either place seems to be very communicative and our house in the meantime is a disaster area because of what we had to do and buy. Talked Rebath into doing site survey which they say they normally don't do but I believe there are items either we or contractors need to have ready for the remodel. If I had to do all over again - would find another contractor.

We had Home Depot come out and give us an estimate for laminate flooring. The guy that came out took pictures of the areas to be done and sent them to his boss along with measurements. Instead of calling like they said they would, we had to track them down. They quoted us a price and we agreed and signed. Days later the contractor came back saying he couldn't do that for that money and wasn't even experienced enough to do the job. Instead of Home Depot finding some other subcontractor to fulfill the job, they dodge us and kept saying "someone will call tomorrow." At this point they had had our money for two weeks. We finally cancelled the order. We ended up having to consult a lawyer to get our money back. Never will I do business with them again!

In order to buy the right fitting refrigerator - after looking it up on the website - went to the next Home Depot store and gave the exact measurements to the sales person and order what she told me. When the fridge arrived it turned out to be too small. I called in next day and went into the store two days after and was told, that Home Depot would not return the appliance. Nevertheless on the official website it says, that returns would be accepted until 90 days. The gimmick is, that - as they say - every store has its own policy. I wrote and called "customer care," they told me they would "work on it." One week later the answer was: "because of the time passed by now, we cannot take this back." The time passed by, because of them not because of me.

Since Home Depot (HD) has chosen to ignore/disregard my review of the Grape Solar GS-PWM-165W charge controller for solar panels, I am posting a review here and elsewhere so consumers will know about this product. I never realized until posting a 1 star review for this otherwise unrated product that reviews might be ignored if they are not positive, but after posting a review and checking back on the HD site, I see that my negative review has been ignored and reviews for most products on their site are in the 4-5 star range. This leads me to the conclusion that HD is systematically disregarding negative reviews of products on their website to boost sales.
That said, here is my review of the Grape Solar GS-PWM-165W charge controller. Pros: The product gives an in, out, and percent battery capacity readings. Cons: The battery capacity is overestimated while under charge, the device requires through the wall mounting (cut a hole, wire behind the controller) unlike other controllers that mount to a wall/surface, and the electrical inputs require the smallest fork style connectors that do not accept 10 gauge wire included with the solar panel. So, you have to rig the connectors or connect to a smaller gauge wire to connect to the charge controller, after you have cut a hole through the wall or mounting surface - Not fun!
For $10 more, I ordered another charge controller from Renogy that mounts to a surface (no cutting holes through the wall), accepts 10 gauge wire (no adapters of loss of current due to smaller wire), and displays much more information about my solar panel system operation. If saving $10 for an inferior product is worth the connecting and mounting headaches and very limited display information, then the Grape Solar GS-PWM-165W charge controller is for you. Otherwise, there are better products is the same price range. Hope this review helps- Happy Shopping.

The snow blower not working properly. I had to remove the snow so I paid someone for the season and I wanted to return and get a refund. They said I could come in and get a return because it was just a few days. When I went in to return it was a different story. They were saying it was a small problem and "What kind of man are you that cannot fix a simple problem like that?" I felt bullied and threatened.

Since my English is not strong I felt like I was being mocked. I asked if I could speak to his manager and he said "Take your snow blower and come back tomorrow." Then he just walked off in a rude manner. I have never felt so embarrassed in my life. The snow blower is very heavy and I had to lift it up by myself and take it to my van. The store was the Home Depot at the Severance mall Cleveland Heights Ohio. I tried to return the snow blower January 12, 2015 at 8pm. I do not know the name of the manager because he did not want to tell me. I will never ever ever shop at Home Depot again.

Also 2 days later after reminding many people at home depot to remove the discontinued item, still the product is on their web site plus they say that they sell extra protection but nowhere on their web site- to add that extra consumer protection.

Chalk all this up to a poor delivery crew which Home Depot contracts to. However, the rub is Home Depot will not address the issues. After 12 phone calls and literally hours on wait, I give up.

He could not even see that they had been out to our house 2 times. He kept saying they have only come to perform diagnostics yet they had supposedly repaired the washer.

Called to check on delivery time the night before and order can't be delivered, items were not at the shipping site. Told MAYBE Friday. This is really poor customer service.

The Home Depot I used to trade at sells Coca cola... The kind with real sugar; it's from Mexico for some reason. Anyway when I tried to return their bottle I was asked to show my driver's license. Where on earth do you have to show your driver's license to return a 10 cent bottle. I refused to show it. They refused to give me my 10 cents. I will never trade there again. I encourage others to do so as well. Boycott Home Depot!

Want to feel like a thief? Buy a big box from Home depot. I went into Home depot to purchase a safe for my father in law. I grabbed a cart and proceed to grab the safe by the straps and put it on the cart. I bring the safe up to the cashier to pay for the item. The cashier comes over without saying a word and proceeds to break open the box. I asked what was she doing and that it was a gift and needed the box intact. She proceeds to cut open the box and says that she is just making sure everything was in the box. I replied with the box is sealed shut, why wouldn't it be and that I needed the straps since the safe is quite large and heavy to carry. My statements went unheard and I hurt my back trying to lift the heavy box without the straps.

I ordered a gift for Christmas for my wife. I received the order received email, never received any other email. I go online to find out the status of my order, it states it's cancelled. I call to find out why the order was cancelled and was given the runaround and told an email was sent out even though I never received it. I'm stuck with no Christmas gift for my wife because of their incompetence. Never order online from them unless you do not need your item.

I ordered a gift card for my brother in law for Christmas and included a holiday card with the order. My bank authorized the purchase, but Home Depot decided not to honor the purchase! They are using some type of credit card verification system that declined my order! It was charged to my bank account, but because I placed the order at 8:00 am on a Sunday morning (10 days before Christmas mind you), my email address was a "free" account (gmail), and the shipping address was different from the billing address!
How are you supposed to send a gift to someone if you cannot send it to a different address???? Why does it matter what time I shop???? Do people that commit fraud only shop in the morning???? Why do I need a paid email address???? I am so irritated! Customer Service was absolutely NO help. In fact, they told me that I would not be able to place an order for a gift card online and send it to a different address, how is that for customer service????

I spend 500+ dollars a week at Home Depot and on very rare occasions will have a return usually a faulty product. And I go in for a return of a product and for the first time in my life a denied return because I didn't have my receipt! And I had 2 other returns in the past 12 months. The last being October 1st. And I learned if you buy something with a store credit card they give you or a GIFT CARD and do a return even with a receipt it counts as if you don't have a receipt!!!! Bullcrap!!! Let me tell you something I work my tail off, I'm not a scam artist or do whatever people do to make Home Depot treat me like they did. I'm a legitimate consumer that is taking his business to lowes, it's worth the drive!!! That's the second time I've been treated bad by Home Depot. I had a situation this past summer where I bought some power tools and one of these tools was broken when I opened it so I took it back and the guy wouldn't let me exchange it. He said "sorry can't help you!" AND YES I HAD MY RECEIPT so I called the manager and got voice mail and called me a week later apologizing for his employees attitude! Thing is I spend way too much money with them to be treated like this. So sayonara Home Depot! Hello lowes.

We ordered 3 exterior doors for our home the end of March 2014. We were told it would take 6 weeks to get them in. No problem. In July we still hadn't received the doors and we were told that they had been shipped but lost somewhere. The doors would have to be reordered. The end of September we finally got the doors and they were installed. Home Depot did give us a $500 credit for the lateness of the doors. 2 of the doors are very tight fitting and we have asked them to make the doors less tight as it is very difficult to open and close these 2 doors. The 3rd door is fine. We had the installed come back and he was in a rush and really didn't want to deal with us and told us we had to live with it.
We called Home Depot again and another installer called and mentioned that we had a very long list of things with our name and that we would come on Monday. He then called on Monday and claimed the appointment was for Tuesday (wrong) and he was cancelling and would call us when he was coming. He still hasn't called. I will never use Home Depot for installation services again. They can't seem to get decent installers who actually care about what they are doing and do it right. Run from Home Depot and pay a few extra dollars to get a decent install.

Ordered dishwasher week before Thanksgiving. Delivered week after Thanksgiving. Install was suppose to be Dec 10th. Installer cancelled and rescheduled for Dec 17. Can't believe I have to wait a month for installation. Talked to local Home Depot where I bought and spoke to someone who "has trouble with English language" and after assuring us he would look into and get back to us actually never did. My wife called back as to the status and spoke to person who said wasn't familiar with problem but knew was the same person as he wasn't fluent in the language of this country... ENGLISH>>>. I'm disgusted with way it is being handled and am cancelling sale and told them to pick up appliance.

I purchased a GE refrigerator in November of 2011 with the 4 year protection plan. While still under warranty the ice maker broke and needed replacement. On November 6th 2014 I had to open a ticket to have the ice maker replaced again. After the tech came out and confirmed the ice maker required parts, I was told it would be after Thanksgiving before they could get the parts because they were back ordered. A few days after Thanksgiving I receive a call from the tech explaining they couldn't get the parts and they would be on back order until the middle of January 2015. Based on the extended protection plan, if the appliance cannot be fixed within 30 days they are to offer a buy out or like replacement. I have spoken to 4 managers over the last 2 weeks and they continue to tell me that they are awaiting approval from management in another department to move forward with replacement of the refrigerator.
The 30 day window ended on December 6th and today is the 11th and as of my call this morning I still do not have resolution and have been told it could be another business day before I have an answer. I escalated the request for replacement on Friday the 5th and it was to take 3 business days to receive an answer. That should have been yesterday the 10th. I will never use this service again as it is designed to be very difficult on the average consumer in hopes that they just wait for however long it takes to get their appliance repaired. Completely unacceptable!!!

I wish I had read this site before ordering my washer/dryer from Home Depot. I ordered a LG combo and selected all the items (hose & cord) that were required for installation. The Home Depot delivery team showed up as scheduled to deliver the units and upon arrival told me that they could not install the units because it was illegal to do so w/o a "stacking kit". Unfortunately I was never told about this requirement during the purchasing process. As a result my tenants were left w/o a W/D for 3 weeks and I still don't have the units! I'm extremely concerned (based on everyone's reviews) that the units will be redelivered on Dec 15th with more issues. To resolve the stacking kit issue, I spent over 3 hours on the phone with at least 5 different people to get the delivery rescheduled. When I asked how would they get the newly purchased stacking kit paired with my units which were now sitting someplace in a warehouse, the answer was "I'm not sure... It's a separate delivery company." As a follow up the Daly City store clerk called me and apologized... Telling me that this is a consistent problem with "Home Depot Online". She spoke as if they are two separate companies. Horrible.

First I am a contractor in the city that I live in. I use Home Depot often in business matters. I remodeled my own kitchen a year ago. I bought all new appliances when I did this. Around 3 years ago I bought a brand new washer and dryer from Home Depot with the protection plan. I then remodeled which meant I took out the existing laundry room to expand the kitchen and built a new laundry room. The washer and dryer may have been used for 1 year and sat during the remodel for about 9 months. I put the units in my brand new laundry room and they worked great. About 2 months ago the washer machine broke. The service men said they couldn't fix it and issued me a credit voucher. So I went to Home Depot and there is no longer a product sold that is comparable to my washer and if I continue to use the same dryer Home Depot won't install the washer. The protection plan said there is nothing they can do. So I bought a matching set and now I can't have a matching set because the service department that Home Depot protection plan uses can not fix my unit. I can not have a new one installed and I can not find a washer unit that will fit with the existing dryer. (They have to stack; that's how I designed the laundry room.)

I purchased an online-only industrial bin organizer on November 2, 2014. The item in question was $252.17. Given that the order was over $200, shipping was free. Add HST, and my total was $284.95. On November 5, Home Depot sent me an email saying it had been shipped. It arrived NOVEMBER 16 in a broken box, with internal components cracked, or broken. I called Home Depot Customer Service to complain about the state of my purchase and was told that Home Depot will NOT exchange the broken item for an unbroken one. The only thing I was to do was request a pick-up for return, and RE-BUY the unit. There was no consideration given to the fact that I'd already been waiting half a month for the unit. I was told that I would have to wait 7-10 days AGAIN. Given that I need this organizer, I re-ordered it. This time, DESPITE HAVING ORDERED THE EXACT SAME THING as I did 2 weeks prior, I now got charged for shipping. Uh... I thought shipping was free.
I called Home Depot Customer Service again and was told that Home Depot reserves the right to change their charges anytime they damn well please. I explain that given that the only reason I'm re-buying this unit is that Home Depot delivered it broken the first time, I do not feel I should be charged a different, increased fee the second time around. Much discussion is required. I am finally credited the cost of the shipping on the price of the unit such that my total is the same as the first time I bought the unit. WOW HOME DEPOT - THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY. So, at this stage I have paid for the item TWICE. You would think Home Depot would appreciate the egg they have on their face and expedite this transaction. NO SUCH LUCK. I receive an email from Home Depot on November 19 telling me that my item has shipped.
Today is December 9. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED DELIVERY of the new unit NOR HAS HOME DEPOT PICKED UP the old broken unit. I continue to have two charges on my credit card. Exasperated, I call Home Depot Customer Service. While both customer service reps were polite, they had absolutely no power and could do nothing but express their sympathy and clumsily apologize for their company. Despite having received an email stating my order had shipped on Nov. 19, the customer service rep told me it shipped on Dec. 1. HUH? Why send me an email telling me it had shipped if it hadn't? The customer rep had no response. Further, the pick up had never been requested. The pick-up order just got placed NOW. NOW! And guess what? There is no "rush", "hurry", "this customer has tolerated enough nonsense" option. I must wait 5 days.
My delivery of the second unit-- the one to replace the initial one I ordered on Nov. 2 is still 7-9 DAYS AWAY. And you guessed it! No possible way to speed this delivery up either. The customer service rep offered me nothing to in any way compensate me for the delay, the frustration... the fact that I have a giant ratty broken packing box sitting in the reception area of my office for the better part of a month! Horrible. Absolutely the worst WORST experience ever. I will not be making any purchases from Home Depot. Companies like this do not deserve customer loyalty. Save yourself utter aggravation and disappointment and do not shop homedepot.ca - YIKES.

As a homeowner I find myself spending more and more time inside hardware stores such as Home Depot almost on a weekly basis. Over the past couple of months though I've noticed the customer service seems to be going southward. As someone who worked in the retail field for quite a bit of time I’m pretty big on customer service and often willing to spend a bit more time and money at venues where I experience great service. One place I will no longer be going out of my way to shop at is Home Depot store #4720, located off Center St. here in Tacoma, WA. I wanted to write a formal complaint to bring awareness to just how bad the customer service is getting using my last visit as an example.
The afternoon of December 5th, I visited store #4720 to pick up some items for a project including one online order for pickup. I started my trip by going to purchase some flooring, so I head to that section and find a large quantity of my choice loaded on a pallet, 16 boxes to be exact. Well unfortunately after I did the calculations I found I'd actually need an additional box. So I go search for an employee. I find one a couple aisles over whom looked to be merchandising. I ask him about an additional box and he tells me they've got more but they're at the very top of the shelf and he'd need assistance. I oblige and he leaves to I'm assuming to find said assistance. After standing there for approximately ten minutes with my father he tells me someone will be by to help me shortly and walks off - alright that will work I guess as we talk amongst ourselves.
Fast forward another ten minutes and we have a different employee come up to ask if everything is alright? We tell her our dilemma and discuss an open box sitting down low. We both agree it’d be in my best interest to get a new box. So after showing her where the box is she leaves to make a supposed call. Another ten minutes passes and a third employee that happens to walk pass asks if everything is okay? We explain the situation to her and she seems now that she’s on our side (thank you young lady). She gives a deep exhale as though this pass along is becoming the norm and immediately goes in search of a forklift to arrange the pickup of this pallet which harbors the extra boxes we need to finalize our purchase.
Approximately after thirty minutes total from our original inquiry the forklift is finally spotted. The second employee comes back and asks if there’s anything else she can help us with now that they're in the process of getting the last box I need. I simply request if she could take the pallet down with the fork lift to the pro center area while we go pick up our online order reserved for pickup. She obliges and we go about our business to finish shopping thinking the hard part was over. Boy was I wrong.
After grabbing a couple of odds and ends we decide we've finished our shopping so we should go pick up our newly ordered toilets (Order No. **.) There’s a customer in line ahead of me which is no big deal but I can't help but notice there’s three employees at one point in the customer service tending to one phone call, not one, not two but three total tending to one phone call. I brush it off as I assume this must be a new hire trainee or some type of extensive circumstances. I finally get to the front and get called up. I present my photo ID along with my phone which shows the order documentation. I’m told the item is indeed on site, great! I inquire about our military discount as I was told online that some stores do it, some stores do not, which makes no sense as it should simply be a standard procedure not a grey area but I digress.
I tell her from speaking to the help desk representative online I was told all they have to do is issue a refund and then repurchase the item using the said military discount. Well apparently I ordered a product that cannot be returned because it was ordered online. I was told if they were to return the toilets they’d go immediately back to the warehouse. Immediately back to the warehouse? How so they'd still be right here in Tacoma, WA? I can’t simply re-purchase these to receive our military discount? That’s interesting, to say the least. I'm a bit chaffed already due to my tile fiasco so I just drop the issue hoping things will smoothen out - they don’t.
I'm told they'll go ahead and bring the toilets right up to me; this is at 1:08 according to the pickup slip she gave me before picking the items up. So now we play the waiting game. 1:08 turns to 1:18, which turns to 1:28, which turns to 1:38. I’m told the items were placed up high due to the stores safety procedures. What I don't understand is why it takes thirty minutes to get an item that was previously paid for? So I opt to go back to the “pro” area where my previously mentioned tile is on standby for purchase. I wait in line and eventually it’s my turn to check out.
At this point I've waited 30 minutes for tile and 30 minutes to pick up a toilet; I never knew spending money could be this hard. Regardless I still remain cordial towards the clerk as he seems to be in a positive mood. We present our military ID card before he starts ringing up to let him know we'd like the discounted rate. The clerk obliges and starts ringing everything we've got up. He tells me the total and I simply ask, “Is this with the military discount?” He shakes his head and apologizes. I tell him it’s no big, it was an accident. It turns out he has to cancel the transaction, unbag all the items and then ring them all back up. Now we've got a line building up and customers behind me. Finally he gets everything rang up only to find out that we now need manager approval as the discount is greater than $50. That’s fine; I don't mind waiting. I think as that seems to be the trend.
He calls his manager who doesn't pick up it seems and now the clerk. My father and I are sitting at the register playing the waiting game. After approximately 5-10 minutes we finally have someone pop up who can authorize the transaction so we can finalize the purchase. Once we finish that transaction my dad goes back to the customer service section where they finally have brought my pre-purchased toilets to the front. We load everything in my truck and finally our should be twenty minute turned hour and a half trip is finally over.
It’s hard to believe we literally waited approximately an hour due to customer service failures. I don't mind a few minutes wait here and there for service but to wait thirty minutes to get a product on the floor as well as another thirty minutes to retrieve previously picked up merchandise is a bit ridiculous. I just wanted to express my disappointment in your company and more importantly this particular store. You can chalk this up as an off kilter day but these days seem to happen more and more from my experience. Naturally this Home Depot is closest to my home so I tend to go there a bit more due to proximity, but the extra few minutes’ drive to Lowe’s is becoming a bit more tempting.
