    My sister and I shopped your Cheltenham store on 03/16/2013. I was buying a refrigerator. My initial experience was with Tara **. She is awesome! She immediately approached us, got some information from us, told she would look up some prospects on the computer, found what I needed, explained everything to the time of delivery and also helped with additional shopping we were doing. She is an outstanding employee and really should be compensated for her hard work because when we left her, it was like we stepped into another store. My sister was looking for a number of things. Tara helped us with boarders after we could not get help from anyone. Everyone was socializing with each other.

    We were looking around trying to find wallpapering, home decor, etc. A young, stout guy (employee) walked past us. You think he would say, "Can I help you find something?" Anything! Hi! Nothing. I said to my sister, "Let's go!" I went to the front to pay for my refrigerator and there were at least 6 employees behind the service desk, and about 25 ft from the desk another four or more employees socializing. This store is always like this and I am being fair. There was an older female, late 50 to mid-60's, apart of the group. She approached me first at the register and she said, "What do you need?" My response was I need to check out. The cashier Chelsea was so into socializing she rang my purchase wrong. If Tara wasn't so thorough, I would have gone home paying the wrong price and furious.

    There was a Hispanic young girl (employee) at the other register who talked to Chelsea throughout my transaction, making sarcastic remarks as if we didn't know it was made for us. There were three other young people, including the guy who walked by us, not offering us help that who when I said here all the help up here. Out of a handful of employees, you have one decent member of your staff. Not good! Some serious training needs to happen. This is why I shop online. Customer service is pretty bad. Had it not been for Tara ** and there was another guy in her department who was very nice too.

    We walked past a female in your kitchen area (**, heavy set with glasses, middle age) sitting at the desk with what looked to be a customer, who gave us the worst unfriendly look. No greeting. She looked at us as if we should have not been there. My sister said, "Wow! What did we do?" This store needs attention! Customer service attention. I apologize for the negative, but I applaud the positive. Thank you Tara again.

    We purchased a washer/dryer combo from Home Depot on 2/23/13. The units were not in stock and the salesman checked online and told us that they were in the distribution warehouse and would arrive on 3/3/13. We called to check on the 2nd of March and we were informed that they would arrive on Wednesday night's truck. On Friday the 8th, we called and we were informed that the shipment did not arrive and we were to call back on Saturday the 9th. On the 9th, we called and were told that we needed to call on Monday the 11th and talk to Sara. On Sunday the 10th at 7:30 AM, I received a call that the units would not arrive until the 21st of March.

    I called on Monday the 11th and wanted to talk with someone regarding our order, and after being transferred to four different extensions, I finally asked for a manager and was transferred to Corilee. After listening to what I had gone through, she started checking and came back on the phone and told me that the 21st was correct as far as she could tell. If our product arrives on the 21st, Home Depot will have had $1618.38 of our money for 29 days, and we have 29 days without use of the product and are also out of this money for 29 days. Do we have any recourse? I was willing to wait 2 weeks, but we will be at four very quickly.

    I am a property manager/maintenance manager for a large real estate company. I rented an apartment that had been renovated recently to an employee of the Home Depot in Boardman, Ohio. The tenant stayed in the apartment for 5 months and paid a total of $175.00 in rent ($475 a month is charged for this unit). He was evicted. Upon inspection of the apartment, it was destroyed. He was constantly calling and threatening my office secretaries, myself and the owner (due to problems he felt was our responsibility in the newly renovated apartment). I shop at this Home Depot (usually 2 or more times a day). He is always at the checkout when I am paying for my goods. He is constantly intimidating towards me when I shop at Home Depot.

    I spend $50,000 to $100,000 a year for my company at this Home Depot. When I vocalized my complaint and my uncomfortableness to the store management and then corporate headquarters, I was told to go and shop at another store. A 30-mile round trip for me. At today's gas prices, a great increase on my fuel budget! I think Home Depot should be accountable for the type of (low life) employees that work in their stores, especially since their employees are not! I would never had rented to this person had he not been employed and vouched for by this Home Depot store! Now I can't even shop here without feeling intimidated by the store personnel?! How do I convince my boss to shop at Lowe's?

    I would like this message to get to a customer service manager about my experience today. The details of my issue can be found under my phone number. I spent over 3 hours of my time today due to a system glitch in Home Depot's online ordering system that essentially cancelled my $1500 order and kept the money from my gift cards. I had contractors waiting for the materials and had my wife at the store waiting to get the parts. I got the runaround from the first customer service agent who lied to be about the problem and accused me of never even paying for the gift cards.

    After 3 hours of being on the phone, one customer service agent was able to find out about the glitch and I was told that I have to wait to get my money back. When I asked how long, there was no ETA on when I would get my money back. No one inside Home Depot has ever seen anything like this according to customer service. I was refused any type of compensation for all this aggravation and was just told to go buy the products with a credit if I needed them that quickly. My family has spent 10s of thousands of dollars at Home Depot remodeling our new houses and this is the thanks I get when there was no fault of my own with this situation. I am both extremely frustrated and disappointed with the outcome here.

    I ordered a hand held shower and a tub spout with diverter so I could make it easier for my mom to take a shower after having a stroke. I paid extra for 2nd day delivery on 02/18/2013.

I had to buy the hand held shower from Wal-Mart so I would have the shower ready for my mom when she got out of the hospital on 02/22/2013. So, I learned my lesson not to shop online at Home Depot.

    I had bought an LG double oven range and 5 times repairman could not fix it. There is also a space between the 2 pieces of glass in the oven door that the steam from the oven goes up between and then drips down and burns your hand. Home Depot backed the sale 100%. LG did not do anything to solve the problem - Home Depot did. Home depot stood behind me 100% and I would buy from them again and again. I bought their extended warranty as it is cheaper than anyone else’s warranty. I have now replaced the LG with a double oven Frigidaire range and love it so far. It’s too new to say how well it will work. Home Depot has stood behind me since this problem with LG back in October and I bought the range in August. Thank you Home Depot and thank you Jeff and Christy.

    I bought a RIDGID miter saw model #MS1065LZAQ from your store. I used it for a couple of months and it broke while trying to cut a board. I tried to return it to get another one and was told I would have to pay for it. I told them what happened. They said, "Oh well, we can't help you." I went back to look at the same saw and they changed how the guard comes down. I'd say they knew there was a problem and fixed it. Anyway, this contractor is done with Home Depot. I'll buy my things at Hartville Hardware from now on.

    I placed an online order on 01/29/13 for bathroom fixtures & tile for bathroom remodel project. Toilet is a one piece LXP unit. Toilet #1 was delivered two weeks later. The box had a large dent with a piece of clear packing tape across the dented area. When the delivery person moved the box from his SUV to the garage, the sound of broken china was heard. Upon opening the box, the bowl was crushed - shattered into hundreds of porcelain shards. The delivery man left the toilet at our house. A call to the HD Customer Service number was comforting in that we were promised that our money would be refunded, the broken toilet picked up, and a 10% discount plus free shipping would apply to the replacement toilet.

    Two weeks later, our contractor found the box containing the replacement toilet deposited outside our garage door. Again, the box was deeply dented with a piece of clear packing tape across the dent. When the contractors lifted the box to move it inside the garage, the sound of broken china was heard. When the box was opened, they discovered that the tank was shattered into hundreds of porcelain shards. Again, a call was placed to HD Customer Service. This time, we were informed that the manager would be using a different shipping company for toilet #3 and that it would be delivered within the week.

    Meanwhile, the floor tile had been delivered. The tiles looked nothing like the online picture or description. In addition to the visual differences of color and composition, many of the mosaic pieces were broken and missing. We drove directly to the nearest HD and returned the tiles. We were told that our card would be credited the refund that same day.

    A few days later, in checking my account, I discovered that HD had not refunded a single cent to my account for the returned tiles or the two broken toilets. They had also charged the second toilet to my account without refunding the first toilet. I again called HD Customer Service. Again, there were profuse apologies from the powerless customer service voice. Again, promises were made and explanations given, but no refunds occurred and no delivery of toilet #3 as promised.

    I returned the cement anchors without all the anchors that did not work. I was busy running to get other anchors. They made it sound like I was trying to cheat them. Of note, I brought back 8 composite decking boards at $44.00 a piece. I pointed out they were refunding me several hundred too much. I talked with the person in charge about $20.00 anchors and was told, “No go.” Apparently, they were worried I used some of the screws and was trying to cheat them.

    I let the young and somewhat ignorant Federal Way store manager know that I would not be back and would steer others to the blue store. He told me he didn't appreciate me disrespecting his store, hence, the ignorance dealing with customers. Never again at Home Depot. I can't believe they lost a customer who spends a few thousand there each year. Yikes! Poor, poor service and shame on you. Please take your business elsewhere. Thanks.

I will not be doing business or going to this store, long alone having someone from the same area coming to deliver an appliance to my home. If I wanted to order a fridge, it would be next to impossible. Go to Lowe's or another Home Depot location. I don't know if it was because we were women that we were practically ignored?

    I'm not a fan of Home Depot Consumer credit card at all. I have had their card since 2008 and have made large purchases and paid them off. I had a $4500 credit line. They chose to decrease that on their own accord and for zero reasons to $2500. So that was an ugly hit on my beautiful credit. I called them up and they said they did that for inactivity. Hmm, greedy **. So I asked them to kindly put it back to where it was. They said they would but would have to inquire hard to my credit. Boo! I said that's not happening and I closed my account happily. I refuse to be abused by creditors when I have not abused them. I am building a business and my credit is important and vital to my growth. I doubt I will ever step foot in there again. I have Lowe's. Lowe's is closer and that is the reason I did not use HD much.

    On 8 February 2013 at 8:45, my nephew and I entered Home Depot store #737 in Memphis, TN. I had an hour to kill while waiting to pick up my rental car, so I thought I would look around HD and maybe price some items I needed for an RV renovation project I was doing. I have been in this store 3 times in the last year and it has always been the same rude and "lack of" customer service. On this day, I stood in the plywood aisle as employee after employee passed right by not offering to help at all. I then went to look at their clearance aisle but couldn't find it. When I asked an employee, he said, "We don't have clearance items anymore." I replied, "I see the clearance sign but don't see the items." He gave me a blank look, then called another employee to ask. He then told me the clearance aisles are all over the store and then left me to find them on my own.

    On my way out the door "empty handed", I got treated to a gaggle of female employees laughing and cutting up. There were no "Thanks for shopping at HD", no "Have a nice day", no nothing. This store is predominantly black and I do not delude myself that race has nothing to do with it, but it is also a matter of bad customer service. Go to Lowe's and save yourself money and a headache.

One week later after I made the payment, we received a letter stating that due to delinquent payments, my credit limit was decreased to $800.00 and to call a number on the letter if I wanted to file a complaint. 3 hours and 4 people later, all we got was thank you for making your payment, but it is what it is.

    On Monday, February 4, 2013, my wife and I went to the Home Depot on Cherry Hill Rd in Silver Spring, MD to purchase items for the purpose of renovating our home. While at the checkout counter, my wife was asked to enter her social security number because her Home Depot card was inadvertently left at the residence. After several attempts, which were to no avail, we were informed that the purchase had be denied. We asked several times to speak with a supervisor, at which time we were constantly denied. The cashier, who we later identified as **, was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. After further persistence, we were allowed to speak with a manager who identified herself as **. I would like to note that she was also very disrespectful as well as unprofessional.

    After running the credit again, it was approved. It should be noted that we have frequent the aforementioned Home Depot since its arrival on Cherry Hill Rd. On several occasions, this employee has exhibited disrespectful behavior. This writer has also observed (**) being disrespectful to other customers as well. In closing, this writer would like to state that my family will no longer patronize the Home Depot at this location. Although it's out of the way, we will visit another location where we can receive the best of professionalism. I will also inform others about my experience at this particular Home Depot.

Thanks Kimberly for your never ending professionalism. I trust that my call unto the wilderness doesn't fall upon deaf ear.

    My wife and I went shopping at the Home Depot in Gretna, LA. We picked up our materials, got in the checkout lane, stood there for about two or three minutes when the floor manager called my wife and me to another check-out. I heard him tell the woman to check these customers out. I got to the cashier and stood there for another two minutes and the woman continued to play with this computer screen, not once did she glance up at us. I looked at my watch and another minute passed and she never paid any attention to us.

    I just pushed my cart to one side, walked in front of her and said in a soft voice, "You have a cart with some material to be checked out at some other time." She never paid me any attention. I just walked out leaving without buying the items. I then went to Lowe's and picked up my materials. After 15 years shopping at Home Depot (I think the floor manager's name was Jude), I think you better let Mr. Jude know he better get rid of that cashier, because Home Depot is fixing to lose more customers like me. The consequence is that Home Depot is going to lose more of its customers because of those types of employees. That's all.

    On December 26th, my washer and dryer both stopped working. The dryer wouldn't dry the clothes and the washer wasn't draining the water. I called the Warranty department and they first stated they could not get someone out to our house until January 2nd. I immediately asked to speak with a manager in which he set up an appointment for the 31st. On the 31st, I called to determine a time line for the technician. The company claimed they had no record of our appointment. My husband and I couldn't believe it but the manager found a technician to come by around 7 pm.

    When the technician arrived, he had no record of the dryer being reported, just the washer. We proceeded just with the washer and the tech stated he had to order a part and would return the following Saturday. On Saturday, we called to verify the appointment and they indicated it would take another 5 days to receive the part. Now it's two weeks without a washer. I called Home Depot (the store that sold the warranty) and spoke with the store manager who stated she would call me back after she speaks to the appliance department.

    Hours passed and I called her back and the appliance department manager had gone home for the day and manager claimed there was nothing else she could do. She came across as not caring and it wasn't her fault the situation that was happening. I shared with the manager my son's condition (skin allergies) preventing us from using any laundromats but she responded, "What can I do? You called me on a Saturday afternoon."

    I couldn't believe the lack of customer service and lack of consideration towards others. She said she would call back on Sunday (next day) but, of course, she never did. This whole process was unbelievable and though the washer was finally fixed two weeks later, the dryer is still not working properly.

    I closed my credit card account and paid off the balance over the telephone in August according to the payoff amount given (almost $5,000) and also paid a $14.95 fee for the service. A few days later, I received a letter from HD confirming the account closing, and I printed a report from the account page for the payoff. I was confident that I was done with that and never received anything else from HD. To my surprise, while checking my credit report early in January, I found that it showed 60 and 90 days late payments for November and December.

    I called and I was told, "It was a residual interest of $33.21", "We don't know why you weren't billed", and "It will be taken care of". Well, they lied. When I checked with the credit agencies two weeks later, they had not done anything to correct the error. I filed investigations with the credit agencies, and HD answered that the negative information had been reported correctly. They have ruined my credit and caused me financial harm. I will probably sue them. Advice: Don't trust anything that you are told by The Home Depot and don't assume that you will be billed or contacted when you pay off the account about "residual interest", whatever that is. I have spent a lot of money over the years in that place and intend to stay away. The next card is going to be Lowe's.

    On 8/22/2010, a Maytag Dishwasher was purchased from Home Depot in Howell, NJ, contract # **. I purchased the extended warranty for the dishwasher from them, Assurant Solutions. On 9/18/2010, the dishwasher was delivered and installed by them. In August of 2012, the dishwasher stopped working mid cycle. I called the number on my contract, 1-877-843-3777. A repair order was made with an incident # of ** for the day of 8/25/12. The technician from A&E Factory Service, Lakewood Service Center, 945 Airport Road Lakewood, NJ 08701, 1-800-905-9505, arrived and found the issue to be a blown thermal fuse. He replaced the fuse, checked all connections following all the guidelines needed. The dishwasher worked again.

    In October 2012, the same thing happened, incident report # **, and the same repair was made by the same technician. My extended warranty states "Lemon Policy: We will replace a product or part should the same major failure occur to the product or part and require a service call on 3 separate occasions within a 12 month period after the Contract commencement date. Replacement shall be with a product of comparable type, quality and function ability, but not necessarily brand or color. Replacement will be authorized after the product is repaired for the 2nd time and upon the occurrence of the 3rd repair request. Validation by a Technician of product failure is required prior to replacement."

    On 1/9/12, the dishwasher stopped working again. I called the company again. They sent the same technician back to my house, incident # **. It was the same issue again. He called the company to talk to tech support to see if he might have missed something; he didn't. He then called the warranty company and spoke to a man named Larry. He told Larry that he had been here 3 times for the same thing, and he cannot figure out why it keeps happening. He has checked everything that can be checked, and every three months the thermal fuse blows. He advised Larry that I had stated I do not want it repaired that as per my contract, I want it replaced. Larry refused to allow a claim to be made. Larry kept asking Dave, the tech, to price out all electrical parts. Not to mention, the top was now broken because the tech had to take the panel off so many times. That needs replacing as well. The door panel had to be taken off, and now that is bent as well.

    Dave told me that I may have better luck getting them to honor the contract because they would not listen to him. I called that evening on 1/11/2013 and spoke to Diane. I explained what was happening, and I was told that it was not considered a major occurrence. I informed her that a fuse blows because there is something electrical wrong to keep a fire form happening, and that the dishwasher was not working because of it, and I felt that it is a major occurrence. This is the 3rd time that the same thing has happened, and all I am asking is for the contract to be honored. I informed her that if this does cause a fire, they will have a lot more to pay for than just replacing a dishwasher. She just kept repeating the same thing.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor. After some time, I was sent to a woman named Terri. I said the same thing, and I was told the same thing. She asked me how we can come to terms on this, and I told her all I wanted to for them to honor their contract. I did not want this repaired a 3rd time because frankly, I am afraid to even use it again because of a possible fire; since the thermal fuse keeps blowing. She decided to send it to the claims department, incident # **.

    Today, 1/14/13, I received a call from Tony telling me the claim had been denied. I did say that I figured as much anyway. I told him the same thing I told Diane and Terri. He said that a tech would have to make the claim that it was not repairable. I told him that Dave tried to do that, but Larry would not let him. By this time I was quite frustrated with the entire situation. I asked Tony what a fuse is for and that I am not stupid and did not just fall off a turnip truck. I said a fuse is to keep something more from happening. I got the same response that I was given before that it was not a major failure. I stated that since it was not working, and the same thing keeps happening to the electrical system, yes it is major.

    I went on to say that if my house goes on fire because of this, they will pay through the nose. Not just a replacement dishwasher. I again read the contract and said all I want is for them to honor the contract. At this point, I knew I was getting nowhere very fast. I asked this," If it breaks again, what happens?" Tony said I call for it to be repaired again. I said, "No, I am now going to report the company to Consumer Affairs and the BBB. You know as well as I do that all the company cares about is the dollar. I paid for this service and I am not getting what the contract states. You know that you already have numerous complaints lodged against the company." I hung up the phone.

We called the company a total of 7 times, talked to Dean, Isaac, Kevin and others. Each put us on hold and never picked it back up. We're going to have to just pay a legitimate repair company to come and fix it. We're never going to buy another large appliance or tool from Home Depot (We've never had this kind of problem with Best Buy warranties).

    The last time we had them come out to repair the same dryer, the technician took the whole control panel apart, then asked me to put it back together because he wanted to go home.

    I purchased $2900 of carpeting and hardwood flooring for my condo at the Rockford, IL store. I had set up a credit card plan of 24 months, same as cash. I received the statement and they had changed the plan to 6 months, same as cash. I received a letter stating that they could change the plan any time they want. This is despicable, dishonest and fraudulent. How can they get away with this illegal procedure? PS, before I purchased the carpet and hardwood flooring, I spent $900 on paint for my condo. The CEO should be imprisoned for this.

    Here is another way for you to get ripped off by HD/Citibank. You have made a promo purchase (say for 12 month period) and you continue to make purchases on your HD card over the year. All your payments over the year have been more than the minimum so the promo balance will be paid down! Wrong, all the money is applied first to your revolving charge, and then to your promo balance once you have no revolving balance.

    There are two exceptions. (1) You call and tell them you want a specific amount applied to your promo balance for each payment. (2) The promo balance is paid first when you make the last two payments before expiration. Now, the rational is that (by law) they must pay the highest interest bearing account(s) first, which is good, except that both accounts have the same rate. Want to see the impact!? The original charge is $1,400 and end of period balance is $881; the accrued interest is $342. Payments made during the period are $3,600. If the $881 payment is not made by tomorrow, I will have $342 added to my balance. Thank you very much! So the moral of this story is "Don't believe that HD and/or Citibank are looking out for you."

    The technician Ray, who came out, was very rude. I inquired if he was here to repair the LG Steam Washer because I did not see any parts in his hands, and he said, “No. I am here to check it out.” When I told Ray that I had been informed and assured that my washer would be repaired today (12/18/2012), he got in my face and asked, “Are you a certified technician?” I replied no and Ray said, "Then you don't know anything." Whatever happened to customer service? He could have said, “Well, let's just call the center because there seems to be a lack of communication on someone's part.” Instead, he prefers to be rude and told me to just call Home Depot to send someone else. Excuse me for asking questions. I did not allow Ray to enter my home nor will I allow anyone from Portairs Appliance Service.

    On 11/7/12, I met my two workers at your Home Depot store on Bank Street, Waterbury, CT and purchased 20 cartons of ceiling tiles. I told them to park in the designated "contractor pick-up area", which they did. I went in and paid for the material while one worker wheeled out the material to the truck. When I got outside, the other worker, who was in the truck, said he just got a $50.00 parking ticket for being in the fire lane, which was the designated "contractor pick-up area.” I explained to the officer that we were in the pick-up area, but she told me to fight it downtown. I did that but they told me because Home Depot had it spray painted on the ground, they could do nothing about it. I paid the $50.00 ticket to avoid further fees. I called your corporate complaint line and got on a 3-way conversation with them and the store manager.

    The manager told me that Home Depot did not paint the lines nor do they call the police to enforce the "no parking signs.” I talked to Officer Neil ** of the Waterbury Police Department and he informed me that Home Depot was responsible for painting the signs (incorrectly) and they also call to have the area patrolled and enforced, so your manager lied on both occasions. I own Champagne Roofing and Remodeling, Inc. in Waterbury and have been a customer since your store opened. I think the response from your manager was appalling, dishonest, and not reflective of Home Depot valued customer service.

    On November 18th, I purchased 4 beautiful new stainless appliances for our downtown Seattle rental condominium. Delivery was set for December 3rd. I took a day from work to meet the contract delivery team (GE). When the contract delivery team arrived, I had them park in the standard delivery space 15 feet from the parking garage entrance where all deliveries and moving activities begin.

    Elevators are located midway in the parking garage, about 90 yards from the garage entrance. The two men from GE surveyed the distance, told me that they would not deliver my appliances because the distance was greater than 30 feet. They left with my appliances still in the truck and told me it was Home Depot’s problem. I was flabbergasted and dumbfounded that Home Depot could be using such a rude delivery service.

    Our condominium is no different from hundreds of buildings with thousands of condominium units in downtown Seattle. They all have underground parking garages and elevators and almost all are greater than 30 feet moving distance. Does that mean Home Depot will not sell or deliver goods to the majority of downtown Seattle homeowners? And how did all of our homeowners get their appliances? My condominium manager said he had never heard of such a refusal, that Best Buy, Lowe’s, Sears have never had a problem making regular deliveries to all 224 units in our building.

    I drove to the Home depot on Lander Street to talk to the appliance sales associate about this debacle. Without hesitation, he bluntly told me to cancel my order, get my money back and buy from another store. I was again dumbfounded; is there some kind of job action going on at Home Depot? Later I was told that the delivery company would come again but only on December 20th at the earliest, 19 days after the promised delivery. My renters move in on December 15th with no refrigerator, range, dishwasher or microwave. Mr. Blake, as the CEO of Home Depot, how would you characterize this customer’s treatment and most important, how would you make it right?

    My 2 year old Maytag refrigerator lost refrigeration and no longer was keeping food cold. I called on my extended warranty that I paid good money for and was told that they only use one appliance repair company, A&E, and they could not come out for 5 days. So what was I supposed to do with all my food that I just re-stocked and was going to defrost? I was told by a representative that I could always go rent a fridge until they did come 5 days later.

    In the meantime, I could not wait and had to pay someone else $300 for a relay and overload part to have it repaired. I called Home Depot about the matter and they just said, “Sorry about that!” Why get an extended warranty? Their excuse was that we just had a hurricane and A&E was on overload with jobs! I called 5 other appliance repair places and they were all willing to come out the next day, which one did so immediately. So don't waste your money on extended warranties at Home Depot, because it will get you nowhere unless you are able to wait for service.

I was then told it would probably be 2 or 3 days before I would receive my order because the store delivery people were already booked. As a result, I was inconvenienced for days.

    I have a big belief in Home Depot, but lately, I have questioned that. I purchased a 12kW home standby generator Generac (for my home in about 2009) at North Haven Ct. It was professionally installed, and it worked fine. The first time I had to use it for a storm was approximately in 2010. It ran for 2 hours and fell apart. I called for assistance. They said the warranty was up, and I found out that when I purchased it, it was already 1 year old. I paid for a new starter ($400.00) and had it installed; then, the circuit board went out 2 weeks later. They wanted $1,200.00 to fix it. So I had to bypass and put the push button in to make it start. It worked fine. Now, for the Sandy storm, I went out to test it 2 days before. It started and ran great, but no output of electricity. Service said the generator part is shot and $2,000.00 to fix it. There’s no way I’m going to put that in this unit. I am very upset to spend $3,000.00 for your unit, use it 3 times, and it is shot.

After going and asking for help again, the man came and said, "Someone will be with you in a moment." No one ever showed up. I finally went and asked if someone could help me find a drill bit for my wood to drill, and the guy said, "Oh, we don't carry that type." FYI, Home Depot carries everything. So he left. I got tired of waiting, and I walked out.

    I came back the next day with my girl friend, and we started looking for the same drill bit I came in for the previous day. I found it but wasn't for wood to metal, so I had her go ask for help. This man said, "I'll be right with you." So after 20 minutes, he came and started looking. He said, "We don't sell that" again. Home Depot sells everything. We ended up buying this $10 drill bit, and he said it was the best they had. I took it home, and after drilling one hole, it burned up and burned my hand. I had enough. But I gave it one last try today, and I wanted to buy wood and then asked if they could cut it. They said they cannot cut it and that it's against their policy. So I walked out.

    On November 4th, 2012 at approximately 11:10AM, I was injured at the Home Depot store located at 2436 F Road, Grand Junction, CO 81505. While my husband and I were looking at the Behr wood stain in aisle 7, a customer who was passing through the aisle with a big industrial cart that had approximately 5 pieces of 5x5 heavy wood passed behind us. The wood fell from her cart and hit the posterior Achilles tendon on my right and left heel resulting in injuries: (1) Pain in both Achilles tendon heels; (2) abrasions; (3) subcutaneous scratches; and (4) bruising which I also noted on the customer incident form. The customer apologized profusely and stayed near me while I went to the painting department and asked to speak with the manager on duty. I asked one of the gentlemen in the paint department to please call for a store manager. They asked about the problem and I said, "No, I just wish to speak with a store manager."

    One of them called for a store manager. After 10 minutes and no one came to see me, my husband asked another associate to please call for a store manager. This time an assistant manager came to the paint service counter. I explained to him what had happened. I also complained that the aisles were cluttered and hard for customers to maneuver their carts and that I felt it was an unsafe environment, creating a safety hazard which ultimately resulted in a customer being injured. Not once did Mr. ** apologize or show any sort of empathy for my pain, even after I showed him my injuries. He agreed that the aisles were in a mess and disarray. I asked him if he were going to file a safety report and he replied yes. I told him of the following safety violations in aisle 7:

    1. 5 gallon paint buckets were not behind the red safety line nor were they stacked. There must have been at least 6 buckets located out in the aisle.
    2. 2 yellow industrial work platforms blocking the aisles.

    3. 3-4 free standing display cases of products which I also mentioned in the customer incident form.

    After much silence, my husband asked the assistant manager if we could file an accident report which he indicated yes. As he was walking us down aisle 7 and moving the display cases out of the way so we could head to the office, he stopped and asked a customer if he could help them. Excuse me? I have just been injured, had to make 2 attempts to get in touch with a store manager, pushed through cluttered aisles and literally beg for an accident report and the assistant manager wants to ask customers if he can help them? This incident wreaks unethical and amoral behavior. Once the incident report was filed, the assistant manager said, "Sorry. Did you guys find everything you needed?" I can't believe it. So this is what Home Depot looks for in leadership qualities. Clearly, this is not an indication of customer expectations.

    Although I contacted the 800 customer service department later that evening because the back of my heels were aching, she explained that the manager should have given me a claim number and insurance information to seek medical attention. I explained that I was not given that information. She then decided to make a call to the local Home Depot store to get a claim number and insurance information so that I may obtain medical care. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful at obtaining the information as the assistant manager indicated he was the only store manager on duty and he was too busy to get a claim number.

    This is appalling. A customer is injured in Home Depot and I was unable to obtain medical care, because the manager on duty was too busy to get a claim number. It is in my opinion that the assistant manager should be terminated from his duties immediately at Home Depot. His lack of concern over an incident, unethical empathy for a customers injuries and his inability to handle the situation appropriately should be seriously considered not within the code of ethics of Home Depot if they've got any within its policies and procedures. Luckily we got several pictures of the unsafe aisles and my injuries, but I am still not able to seek medical attention. I have no insurance.

    I used to work for an OEM company in 2005. I was awarded a bonus for having met my sales quota. I had the choice between cash or two Home Depot gift cards. I chose the gift cards so I can use it for my home. I cannot see any PIN number on the cards and maybe, Home Depot did not have them printed on the old ones. However, I was able to use my cards in the stores but I still cannot use it online. This is almost two years that I am trying to figure out how to get a PIN number so I can use it online. I called the CS reps hundreds of times and did not get the answers. They actually do not have an answer for me and if I want to buy anything with the card, I should come to the store. I told them what I am looking for to buy and the product is available by internet only. I asked the reps to check whom should I talk to in order to get a pin number, but nobody was able to help.

    I have been talking forever and asking the same question to so many people and yet nobody was able to investigate and get back to me. After an hour or two holding the line, one smart person will just hang up on me hoping the question will go away. I went back to the store many times for help, but I only wasted my time and not even the managers know how to get a PIN number or how to exchange the cards. They will not allow me to buy a new gift card using the money I have on my gift card although I can buy whatever I want from their stores. I showed them all the documentation I got from my company including the purchase order number, the quantity of cards, and the start/end numbers on them.

    The bottom line is I still have $1,300 or $1,400 on my gift card that I need to use to figure out how to exercise my right. I need to buy online two file cabinets for my start-up business and these are internet only. I went back to the store to request if they can order them for me, so that I can buy them with my card from their store but they cannot. I think Home Depot has great products but I am not sure how they are running their gift card business. It has been a nightmare and I have wasted a lot of time, and I need the money. The gift cards department will help you how to buy new cards but has no clue about how to help and they will let you wait online until someone hangs up.

    Home Depot has many choices to help its client - redeem the money or let the client buy a new card with another gift card or send the client a pin number. After all, this money is still my money and I have earned this bonus. I should have the right to use it as I wish. Thank you for helping! From NYC.

    After making a big deal about it, they finally took it back, which was only right because they had sold it to me. Now, for the last week and a half, they have been out of water. I feel like they should not have treated me like I was a scam artist when I was returning the jugs; they made the mistake, not me. Second, if you are going to sell something like water, where the jugs have a redemption, it is your obligation to keep them in stock so that people can return the used jugs and get full ones. I am in an industry where I spend a lot of money in hardware stores. I must have spent at least $1,000 the whole time that I am in Odessa. I will now patronize Lowe's or True Value. No more Home Depot. Boy, do I miss Hechinger's.

    My four-year old LG refrigerator seems to be having a problem with the fuse which is located on the main panel. Two years ago, I had a service technician temporarily bypass the fuse with a paperclip until the mainboard was received from LG which took two weeks. The fuse blew two years later and the service through my extended Home Depot warranty wanted to bypass the fuse with wire. They told me that this is what all the servicemen are doing for the LG refrigerators because it takes two weeks to get them. They are expensive to order and because it is a matter of time before it blows again. I had to insist that they order me a new board to replace the one that is on there.

    I also contacted LG customer relations and spoke with a supervisor who has been there for seven years. She contacted engineering and they said a paper clip would never be a good solution for the problem, temporary or as a permanent solution. She had never heard of this happening in all her time at LG. She states that the extended warranty service needs to address what the problem might be. If the refrigerator has a short and is blowing the fuse, then they need to address it and will address it. But they depend on the service people to call in and tell the engineers what they are finding.

    Not once in the two times I have had this issue did they call into LG for technical support. LG recommends a voltage check on certain parts in the refrigerator and recommendations for surge protection. Do not allow a wire or paperclip to be your permanent fix. It is totally irresponsible of that to be suggested as a permanent fix. I am calling my extended warranty company to complain and tell them LG doesn't list this as a known problem. I am really disappointed in the runaround that I am receiving, and I wish that someone would step up to the plate and just do what is right.

    I purchased a warranty on a rigid cordless drill. The warranty covers batteries, my batteries are dead now. I brought it back to the store to get new batteries a month ago and they still have it. The batteries are on back order and have been for months. They have no estimate as to when or if they will come off back. Guess they have found a way not to honor the warranty, without saying they are not going to honor the warranty. No recourse that I know of.

    In July 2010, I purchased an Ariens Riding Lawn Mower from Home Depot, Wichita Falls Texas for $999 and I opted to purchase an additional 2-year warranty for and additional $189. The mower now has mechanical problems, and all I have received is the run-around from this contractor. All I have is their phone number, because HD doesn't print the name or address of who is covering these additional years. If I had known that HD had nothing to do with those additional 2 years, I would not have purchased the protection. The manager at the purchase point has graciously agreed to pick up the mower, and get it fixed through Home Depot resources, then bill this provider. He deserves commendation. The extended (beyond two years) company, however, should be held accountable for their total failure to honor an agreement I paid dearly for. I would love to have their name and address, so I could report them to the BBB. Thanks again, though to Home Depot Management, Wichita Falls for jumping in and going beyond the call of duty.

    I'm very disappointed in the level of service we have received from the Home Depot extended customer service department. Our dishwasher is broken so we called for a repair appointment. The soonest they can get to us is over 3 weeks! In the meantime, I'm washing dishes the old fashioned way, including baby bottles and sippy cups. With other home warranty companies we've used, you can get an appointment within the week.

    In addition to this unacceptable wait time, the call center's service was terrible. Several times we called, we were disconnected. When I did get through, the man told me an appointment was already made and they called me, which they didn't. He then proceeded to tell me to check my voice mail rather than just telling me what date they set for us. After I asked to speak with a supervisor, he told me she was busy and to try back later. My husband called back later and spoke with her. He vented our frustrations, but it didn't get us any further. The appointment date did not change and she said we could not use another appliance repair company and still be under the warranty.

    My lesson from this is: I will not purchase an extended warranty service from Home Depot in the future because it's not worth it.

    What does Home Depot have against women? I shopped at Home Depot or at least tried to today after a really bad experience there a year ago, and six months ago. This is the company's third strike. I do not understand why the people cannot assist female customers. Today I had to buy a piece of plumbing and a dimmer switch. This should have been very simple. There was only one guy working in the dimmer switch area which I had been passed off to. He was helping a customer, so I waited very patiently while the guy looked at me for a brief second and turned his head twice and did not acknowledge my existence. Mind you, he was just standing next to that previous customer not doing anything. A "hello" or even "I will be with you, just a second," would be nice, since I had already stood there for a good five minutes obviously waiting for him. Like I said, three chances were all bad.

    After a lot of comparison shopping between Lowe's and Home Depot, I finally decided upon Home Depot because the final price for the GE refrigerator, ice maker hose kit, and extended warranty was a little bit cheaper than Lowe's. However, after I purchased it, I was called to say I had to buy the ice maker hose kit. I explained that this kit along with the extended warranty and my coupon code were included. We argued until someone got off their butt and discovered a computer glitch that day. Oh, well, too bad: they can't help you and they could not get a manager on the phone. He told the clerk talking to me that the best he could do would be to offer a $50 coupon on my next shopping experience.

    Yeah, right, like that's going to happen. The clerk went on to tell me I could buy the extended warranty (that I had already entered on the online form) for $99 for a 5-year plan up to 11 months after the sale. Today, two months later, I'm told it is $140.00 and the next price change is due soon. My original complaint to the Home Depot was answered with the notation that I had used the wrong format to file a complaint! For $99, they could have made me a happy customer that would return.

So, I produced the blank white strip of paper and said, “Well, the ink faded off of it.” Their response was “That's not our problem”! So, I am stuck with $129 piece of useless junk now because Ryobi won't sell you the $0.89 piece to fix it yourself; they want to sell you a reconditioned one for $39.99 plus shipping at $13.00 - nice little racket they've set up for themselves!

    My 21-year old son used to work for Home Depot in Mankato, MN, to help pay for college expenses. While working there, they had him take a delivery to another town in his own personal vehicle (apparently, they don't have enough business vehicles, so they expect the employees to use theirs). They, first of all, gave him the incorrect product to be delivered, and he had to return, get the correct product, and again make the delivery.

    While on the delivery, my son was in a car accident that ultimately totaled his car out. The other driver had some major damage also, but fortunately, nobody was injured. When Home Depot learned of the accident, they requested a copy of the police report and said that they would turn this into their insurance and would take care of it. They asked us to have the car towed to Mankato, leave it in the towing lot, and their insurance adjuster would go there to look at it. The car stayed there for just about three weeks, but the insurance adjuster never did show up.

    When we contacted both the Mankato, MN store and the corporate office, they said that they had decided they would not be covering any of the expenses. Because of this, they left us with the loss of the car (valued at approximately $7K), the towing bill, and the cost for leaving the car stored in the towing lot. Then, we found out that once they received the police report, they took it upon themselves to clock my son out at the exact time of the accident.

    To top it off, he was unaware that they only kept these young college students on for three months, at which time, they let them all go (to save on paying benefits), and they let him and many others go not long after the accident. My son had been trained to work in two different departments and had been getting wonderful reviews from co-workers and department managers, so he wasn't a bad employee.

    It's wrong that they make these people use their own personal vehicles, and it's wrong that they led me to believe that they would take care of things since my son was on the clock. This whole thing ended up costing us more than what he made the whole time working there! If this is the way they treat people, how can anyone respect them enough to do any business there? And how can you trust that they will back up what you buy when they obviously don't care about the value of people?

But when I talked to that company, they said that as far as they knew, they were no longer a service provider for that insurance company due to a previous dispute. So, I called the carrier back again and they said a new service provider would contact me, which didn't happen. So, I called Home Depot again. Finally, after four days of calling, I got a schedule date for the repair, two weeks hence. If my refrigerator had been completely broken, that would be something of a problem.

But they said I have to try to get the VA to change my card, or they don't have to honor it next time. The VA has a different view, because part of my disability is not service related; don't try to understand that part. It’s the VA!

    The rest of the veterans are out of the picture. So what it says to me is if I didn't get shot or blown up, then my service in this country doesn't count! No 10% off. I was Navy during Vietnam, spent 120 days there. I am now a disabled vet, with severe coronary heart disease. I am only 56 years old and have had 3 heart attacks, the first one at 47. But because my report reads part in service and part not service, my card reads non-service connected? Why, I do not know, something the VA administration terms it as is?

    Still, Home Depot has a sign (I took a picture of) that says building homes for veterans? Well, there they are again saying that only applies to in service hurt vets, not the rest of us?

    I returned over $500 worth of product to Home Depot. I did not have the receipt, so they gave the credit on a gift card. At a later date, I tried to use that gift card to make a payment on my Home Depot credit card and they said I was not allowed to do so. They also will not give a refund of the gift card, so I am out $500 as I have spent over 10,000 dollars there and have finished the home remodel project. I spoke with Charles in Atlanta, GA at the Customer Care Center and he has told me flat out that they will do nothing to assist me. Use the card to buy more product or not, but they will not let me make a payment! It is not posted anywhere in the store or online that this is store policy, as Charles likes to say it’s "in store polices". This is bad business procedures!

    After making the first purchase with the card, I went online and set up an automatic payment. Apparently, this automatic payment was for one time. The next month's bill did not get paid and a phone call to the customer rep informed me that he could set it up to have the automatic payment recur every month. It was made very clear at the time that I wanted to pay the full balance every month. The next bill came and only the minimum balance was auto paid and had a minimum finance charge of $2. I called again and was told by the rep that they normally set it up as a minimum payment and it would show up in the account notes if I had wanted it to be a full balance payment. She went on to say that auto payments could be set up to pay the full balance, but it would go back to minimum payments if there was a zero balance for one month. This was unacceptable. I was misled and lied to by Citibank customer service. I paid the remaining balance and cancelled the card. No more Citibank cards ever for me.

    On August 23, 2012, I returned to the garden department two plants that were recently purchased and had died soon after. One plant was still in the original pot. The reception I received was hostile. The garden department directed me to the return desk. One person who knew plants stated she was on her way to lunch and walked away. The other stated she didn't know what kind of plants they were. She refused to look the purchase up with my credit card and refused to look at the thriving plant in my phone.

    Instead, she snatched one pot and headed to the same garden department that sent me to her. This time another employee stated, "They died because she didn't water them.” I walked over and said, "I did water them and I have a picture in my cellphone of another one I bought the same day and it is thriving.” The female employee yelled, “I didn't say you didn't water.” When I stated someone had said that the man stated, "It was me.” I asked him to look at the thriving plant and determine what kind it was and whether or not they were watered because they came from the same circle.

    They stood looking at the beautiful, thriving plant stating, "I don't know what that is. It looks like some kind of daisy." Never did they check the purchase in the computer. I threw my hands up and left to pick grandkids up from school. I never imagined such a large chain would have such poor customer service.

    I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot in Encinitas, CA (probably my fifth set from Home Depot) and when delivered, the first dryer was banged up. We returned it for a second dryer that was installed and did not work (found out after the delivery guys left). It appeared from the outside to be hooked up correctly and working properly, but when I put my clothes in the dryer, all I got was cold air. I refuse to mess around with gas, so I called Home Depot to ask for help. They told me that it was not their responsibility and that I had to contact Maytag directly to have it repaired. A new appliance repaired? Does not resonate with me when I paid over $1,300 for this.

    Nonetheless, Home Depot acted like it was not their problem even when I said, "But I am your customer and I bought this from you." So then I called Maytag to have a new one delivered and they said that they would first need to send a repairman out to fix it. "Our next available time is in a week." Being impatient and having two loads of wet clothes in my new home, where I am attempting to unpack and get settled in, this was unacceptable. I don't even want the piece of junk appliance anymore, but it appears that I am stuck with it. My biggest frustration is with Home Depot as I don't think they even care that they are selling poor quality stuff. I also recently bought a water hose from them that is poor quality and leaks. I am done with them. I plan to take my business elsewhere!

    Home Depot was one of my favorite stores, and I know I've done more than $10,000 worth of business with them. However, now I have such a sour taste in my mouth regarding Home Depot. I made a purchase costing $118 on their credit card (only recently learned that the credit card is through Citibank) in January 2012.

    I've always paid my accounts off before the expiration of due date. However, for some reason or another, this one slipped by me and I completely forgot it. In late June 2012, I received a call from Home Depot Credit Card (Citibank) advising me that I owed something like $240. Of course, I was shocked and asked, "Why would you guys allow anyone to go 6 months and not contact them?" They advised that they did contact me but by email. Well, I advised the email must have gone to spam and all email that goes there automatically gets deleted. Now I realize that that's not their problem but I told the caller since you're calling me now, this means you've had my number all along and if only I had been called the 1st, 2nd, etc. month, I would have absolutely and immediately taken care of this.

    Nevertheless, while on the phone with the caller, I made the payment of $118 with no intentions of paying anything further but after being contacted about 4 to 5 times a day including Sundays and knowing that all fights are not worth fighting, I simply paid an additional $140 in July. In my mind, I knew this was more than enough. It's not! I got a bill telling me that I owed $42.75. Immediately, I called the corporate office, at which time I was advised that Citibank was the one the customers get credit through. I advised her all I know, like many other customers, is that Home Depot is providing the credit. After all, their name and colors are all over the card. She transferred me to Home Depot Credit which is actually Citibank.

    I was advised that the $42.75 included late fees. I advised that this couldn't be because I had already paid in June 2012 the initial purchase of $118, although late, from January 2012 and then reluctantly paid $140 on July 26, 2012 which added together is $260. I was told that a $35 late fee was charged to me on July 8, 2012 on a balance of $260. Again, I said, "What? That's not possible." According to Mr. Bernard **, Senior Supervisor out of the Florida office, they continue to charge late fees on anything not paid.

    The Attorney General needs to intervene on big companies like the ones that are working in cahoots against the consumers and charging outrageous fees. For the record, I will never shop at Home Depot or Citibank, and I will never pay this criminal charge of $42.75.

    Recently I attempted to purchase a new washer/dryer from my local Home Depot because they had 0% financing for cardholders. I tried my card but was told the account had been closed. No problem. I applied for credit again and was refused. I was told I would be receiving a letter explaining why I was refused. Easy enough, right? Wrong. The reason for refusal was sent to me with a bill showing a balance of $250.54, in addition to a letter from a collection agency. Upon a closer look, I saw that the late fees and interest for the year totaled $250.14. I never received a statement or used the card this year. Now let's do the math. The difference between the fees/interest and the current balance is $0.40. Yes, 40 cents. Citibank decided to accrue late fees and interest on 40 cents from the beginning of the year totaling over $250. The folks at Citibank are a bunch of crooks.

    I rented a tiller at HD on Adams Avenue and Roosevelt blvd. in Philadelphia on August 2, 2012 at around 10 am. The sales representative told me, "In order to rent the tiller, you must initial the places where I placed an X." I found out later that one of the initialed areas meant I accepted an insurance policy for 10% of the rental agreement. The rental agreement clearly stated that I must be informed that I can accept or reject the policy. He never told me I had the option to refuse the policy. I also did not receive a copy of the insurance policy so I had no idea what it covered. When I returned the tiller, I was told by the sales representative that they could not take the insurance policy off the agreement.

    I asked to speak to the manager, **. I waited for over half an hour. While I was waiting, I noticed that the other sales representatives were not informing customers that they had the option to refuse the insurance. They did exactly what was done to me. They checked off the box that said the customers agreed to pay the 10% insurance policy, and then told the customer to initial it. Generally, they would tell the customer that in order to get the equipment, they must initial the sections that were X'd off. I watched this happen two more times, as I waited for the manager. When a third customer was told to initial the contract, I told him about the insurance policy, and told the sales representative that she needs to inform the customer they have the right to refuse insurance before they initial the contract. She stated she was trained that way to do the contract. I told her that the contract states that the customer is to be informed about the insurance and their right to refuse. She became very upset with me and called security. She stated, "I'm getting you thrown out of here."

    Security came and told me that this is an issue that needs to be settled by Vince, the manager, who I had now been waiting for over 40 minutes. Vince showed up while the security guard was there and told me to continue to wait, then walked away and made me wait another 10 minutes. When Vince finally got around to speaking with me, I had been waiting for almost an hour. I told him what happened to me, and what I had witnessed happening over the past hour at the sales counter with other customers signing off on the insurance policy without being told they had the option to refuse. He told me that he trains the representatives to inform customers that they have the right to refuse insurance. Then, he refunded the insurance money I paid.

    My concerns are: 1) how many times I observed this taking place, and each time the sales representatives followed the same procedure; 2) the lack of managerial oversight of the sales staff for at least 1 hour while these blatant abuses were taking place; 3) how many times a day customers are signing off on the insurance policy when they probably would have refused it; and 4) the rudeness and hostility of the staff. I also noticed that there was a camera facing the counter during the time I waited there. I would encourage you to observe the tape to check out what I am telling you.

    HD is using a third party to track returns, bad business. I have always shopped at Home Depot since the first store opened 26 years ago in 1986 at Oceanside, CA and have only gone to the Lowe’s across the street from my house once because HD was out of an item. I enjoyed the fact that if I didn't have a receipt, it was not a big deal but lost out if the item rang up below what I paid for it, my loss. But now, I find I was denied a return with a receipt? How strange. So, are they calling me a thief? I have a stack of receipts from Home Depot measuring an inch thick and one Lowe’s receipt. Give me an email address and I will scan and send them to you. One thing is for sure, I don’t appreciate being treated this way.

    May 3, 2012, I returned a defective microwave oven, 6656 00020 85467. The cashier Perri made a mistake and didn’t notice the receipt I handed her. After speaking to a manager named David and after making 2 extra trips to your store, he ended up giving me a store credit for $40. Home Depot’s mistake, wasted time and effort on my part but I did not complain. The time it took to get the $40 cost me money. My time is worth more than that. And now, I am denied for trying to exchange a $20 water fountain pump that didn’t last 2 months? Something is definitely wrong here.

    At all times I have always shown my I.D. and never tried to conceal who I am or the fact that if the item is faulty or if I am not happy with it, I will exchange it for something else. I am taking Home Depot store credit and buying Home Depot items. Had I known that this was a problem, I would have made an effort to bring the receipts with me. Please remember, I was denied yesterday by returning a $20 faulty item that lasted only 2 months, “Made in China”, with a receipt.

    Years ago, I had a Home Depot credit card and at the time they would not let you make a payment in the store. It had to be mailed to the processing center. On two occasions, I sent the payments well in advance of the due date, but was charged a late fee because the credit department said the payment was late. After the 2nd time, I paid off and closed the account. But sometimes I am a slow learner. About six months ago, I opened another HD account to take advantage of the deferred interest program and I have been making regular on time payments (usually in store, because they now accept payments in store). But I mailed a payment in on June 29, 2012 for a due date of July 6, 2012. Lo and behold my next statement reflected a late fee charge of $25 and I called and they said the payment did not arrive until July 12, 2012.

    I guess they did not bother to check the postmark date! I realize the Postal Service is on shaky ground financially but it should not take 13 days for mail to go from Rome, GA to Columbus, OH. Personally, I feel some people are guilty of unscrupulous business practices. I think some people deliberately "hold" payments to show as being late so they can collect an easy $25 late fee, and they do not care how it affects other people who try to guard their credit history. All I can say is beware of HD credit services. I now have paid off my card and never intend to open another account with them. (By the way, I never had a problem with Lowe's. I’ve been with them for several years.)

Not only did the Home Depot representative acknowledged that no one is ever pre-approved, but Home Depot also skirts around the law to get your personal information by stating you are pre-approved knowing you’re not.

    In 2009, I purchased a stainless steel double door LG refrigerator with the freezer at the bottom, icemaker, and the works. I was advised to purchase the extended warranty for protection. I was extremely happy with my purchase. In June 2012, I noticed the freezer was not working, as the items had been soft. I automatically contacted the Home Depot. They asked if I had the extended warranty plan. Since I purchased it after being convinced, I contacted them as advised. The extended warranty company from Home Depot sent a contractor to my home to assess the issue. He said I needed a part, and never came back. I went to Home Depot to complain. While at Home Depot, the manager in the appliance section contacted the extended warranty company.

    I was placed on hold to listen to a recording that asked the caller to leave a message over and over, as the office was now closed. The rep did not have the courtesy to tell me that my call would not be answered due to the office closing. The following day, I called the main office again, and they said the contractor has to order the part and to expect it in a few days. After the few days were up, I called back and now asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, someone in the position to help me. Upon speaking to a supervisor, I was told that we haven’t been without a freezer that long and to be patient. The contractor is still waiting for the part. I asked what compensation I should expect for not having a freezer during three heat waves in which we could not store needed items during hot summer months i.e. ice, ice cream for the kids, ice pops, and other frozen goods. We were told that the maximum we could get would be $100 for items we had to discard.

    When I asked how long we would have to suffer without the proper use of our refrigerator before they would replace it with a new one. They told me that would not happen. The supervisor offered his name and number to call him directly. Well, I called him directly after the contractor still failed to contact me after another few days. This time, Mr. Supervisor has not returned my calls or answered the phone. It seems like I am the loser in the situation. I will not purchase any item from the Home Depot, not even a small plant or pack of batteries. I am happy there is a Lowe's nearby that recently opened.

I was also told that even if the website says the items are in stock at your local store, they will be shipped from the distributor in the USA.

I called again, nothing. I called the store, then HD customer service and they called the installer, nothing. I called again before going on a business trip - nothing. Not even a call which Home Depot had promised would occur within 24 hours. I called corporate for a third time and said I wanted new estimate and would take another day off of work.

    My Echo weed trimmer wouldn't start, so I purchased a $12,000 tune-up kit which included a spark plug, fuel air filter, and a fuel filter. The unit still didn't start. I took the weed trimmer to the store that I purchased the trimmer and was told that I had to call the warranty center at 1-800-466-3337. The warranty center is in the Philippines. I called the warranty center and was told to fax a copy of the original receipt with the incident number that I was assigned and that I would receive a call in 2-3 business days to confirm the claim. On the fifth business day, I was not called. So I called the warranty center and was told that they never received the copy of the original receipt by fax and if I could fax it again and wait for a call in 2-3 business days. Here we go again.

In spite of the fact that I entered all of the information requested directly from my HD receipt, both rebates were denied due to lack of information. If information was missing, why didn't the online form point it out? The whole process was clearly designed to find escape clauses to allow Home Depot to not pay their "rebate". What a sad joke!

    I bought countertops from Home Depot that were charged in January 2012 (six months, no interest) and paid off by May. I then bought a dishwasher in January or February (12 months, no interest). In June I started getting messages that I was nearing the end of a no-interest period. I contacted Home Depot/Citi and was told this was now changed. On my July statement, I got the same message that this is the end of the no-interest period. However, this should be halfway through the dishwasher's 12 months. I've sent another message to the credit department. “Instant today” means forget it. Apparently, there's a problem. When I tried to pay part of the bill, I got a message that there was a problem with my payment. If I'd read the problems others have had with this company, I would have gone to Lowe's. The same company locally makes the countertops for both stores. The work was great - the one good thing out of this.

    I ended up cancelling my credit card and will never, never shop at Home Depot again! The problem started with my questions over why I was getting charged interest on "special promotions" when, first of all, I did not participate in any "special promotions" and customer service could not identify on my purchase history which items, if any, were related to "special promotions," only that I had failed to pay off these items within the allowed time frame. Therefore, they assessed my account with a "special promotion" interest of $125, even though they are still charging a monthly interest rate on my unpaid balance - isn't this like "compounded daily IRS interest rate?"

    When they added the $125 interest, they put my account over the limit - on the same day I had made a payment of $100. But this was not posted prior to placing the $125, so they reported me over my credit limit to Experian. I contacted them and have filed a dispute with them also. I think these folks should be investigated for interest charges, especially since they promote these "special promotions" but if you participate, when you make your monthly payment, you cannot stipulate where you want that monthly payment applied to, so you do not pay your balance off in full. You never pay off the "special promotions" and they keep tagging you with interest.

It was about 5:30PM. He informed me that I had to take my heavy load to the front of the store. It wasn't bad enough that he said this, but what made it worse was his foul attitude ending with him chasing me out the front door yelling obscenities as I tried to leave before this lunatic tried something else. Hence, my reason to not purchase from Lowe's, since his final statement was to never come back.

    I called back later and asked if I could call a Home Depot service person to come look at it and they said no. I also called Home Depot and asked them the same thing and was told no, I must deal with the extended service department. I waited over 48 hours and called them back and was told that now I may call any local technician myself and have them come and diagnose the problem. Once my hired technician diagnoses the problem, I have to have them call the extended service plan department in order to be reimbursed for their services as long as it is $150 or less. I asked what happens if my technician says it needs to be replaced. They said they would open a new claim when the technician spoke with them and they have no idea how long it would take to get parts or a replacement because they don't know what will be needed, where it will need to be ordered from, or if it will be in stock.

    Several issues with this card, specifically Citi. I am familiar with the legislation on credit and was very certain that the time between statement and fees was 21 days; however, I was emailed by Home Depot/Citi that it is 2 weeks. Legislation also states that no card company can charge you to pay your bill online, via mail or over the phone unless paying for a premium type service such as same day. However, when you phone the Home Depot/Citi automatic payment service and you wish to deal with a human instead of a machine, you must pay a $14 fee for paying over the phone and with a representative.

    I was told in the store that the 5% they tout to entice people in, is only received "if you ask for it". Cashiers who are not specifically informed before your purchase that you have a Home Depot card do not give you the 5% and it does not happen automatically after swiping your orange card (The same is true for Lowe's cards). Why is it that you cannot pay the balance on your Home Depot card before the billing period ends? If you show a balance of $132 but your payment due is $0, why would you not be allowed to pay the $132, or even $60 for that matter? I have only had this card for a month, used it once, and now I am not allowed to pay the balance until the cycle ends and the statement is sent.

    Legislation also states that you should not have revolving due dates that change every month, or applying payments to specific balances on those wonderful sounding "no payments for 6 month" deals. Did you know your payment isn't going to pay that off? Does Home Depot/Citi give you the benefit of the high interest pay off exception for promotional offers which pays them off before the promotional period ends? Home Depot/Citi might want to read the document they are supposed to be adhering to. Scrutinize your statement and watch the dates and fees. Vigilance is your only weapon.

My purchases would have totaled approximately $3,500. I did receive credit up to $1,500 but wanted the card to cover the total purchase plus possibly other purchases needed for my renovation. I was sent to the credit desk where the cashier clerk had to phone someone regarding my request. I was handed the phone to talk to the person who said that my request would be considered within 7 to 10 days. I questioned this and received a very snotty reply. I do believe I was turned down because I am retired, 65 years of age and widowed. I have a very good credit rating and a very good income.

    I really did not need the credit card but after seeing all the signs regarding the no interest for 12 months and not needing the appliances at this time as my renovation will not be completed until July, I thought that I would apply. The way that I was spoken to by the credit person made me very angry and totally dissatisfied with Home Depot.

Very upset, my toes are very sore and the fact that my injury did not come first it seemed like it was a bunch of untrained first aid team and management because I mean if I’ve fallen and bumped my head, it would have been a lot worse. I also did not like the fact that it was funny to them in some strange way it was like a joke!

    I am very upset and frustrated by what has happened now for the second time. Both my husband and myself have a Home Depot credit card account (It's important that we both have a good credit history in the event something should happen to the other). This makes the second time that my account was closed due to a 'periodic review of your credit history.' I can understand their need to continually assess their risks and watch for people that may not pay their bills, but my payment history was perfect.

    Not only have I always paid on time, I pay more than the minimum amount due. I made my payment online this month as usual and checked to see what my available credit was. I was about to pay the remaining balance of $300.00 (the no interest promotion ends in June) in order to make another no interest purchase of hardwood floor. We already booked our measure date with Home Depot.

    Well, I noticed that my available credit was $0.00 so I immediately called to see why. I was told my account was closed and I would have to speak to a credit agent. I then spoke to a credit agent that said, before I said a word, and I quote, "Well, Mrs. **, we review consumers credit and not only take into account their payment history, and I can see you have perfect history with us, but the Experian credit report. It looks like you had a late payment on your report and that's the reason why your account was closed."

    And she's right. I missed a $15.00 payment on a store credit card because I returned an item and I thought the credit covered my balance. After receiving a statement showing I missed the $15.00 payment, I promptly paid the $15.00 and the $15.00 late fee. That's it. That was the only error, and trust me, paying double due that error was painful enough. They did this with our first account too. At that time, even with excellent payment history, they stated their 'periodic review' showed my ratio of revolving credit to income was too high. Again, no payment issues, always well above the minimum. It took me forever to convince my husband to continue doing business with Home Depot. For a year, he refused and went across the street to Lowe's.

    But I went to Home Depot for years before they opened Lowe's and I felt comfortable there. I had finally convinced him that the first incident was a fluke probably due to all the tough credit legislation that had been recently passed and the credit card companies were nervous about bad debt. Well, after this time, he promptly went into the store and cancelled our measuring appointment for the flooring as well as returned all the items we had purchased the day before.

    Customer Service was besides themselves when he explained what had happened and they knew us as regular customers. He told them he was sorry, but that was the last time we would be in a Home Depot store. And sadly, I agree. Citibank is the issue, but Home Depot has chosen them as their credit vendor and until that changes, we will not go to Home Depot.

    And since closing a credit card account hurts your credit score, my credit has now suffered because of their action. And I find it very interesting that the only account that ever gets closed due to these periodic reviews is an account that only uses the no interest promotions. I have never paid a dime in interest, so that's probably the bigger issue for Citibank. It is funny how a $300.00 balance gets closed, but not a card with a much larger credit limit with a much larger open balance. Oh wait, right. They collect interest on that one each month.

    My husband and I just recently built a new house and have several promos coming due. One promo we were graciously given a 20 day extension on in order to pay without penalty when income tax return came. I spoke with a representative on the phone who had explained the interest would be credited ($440.00). In the mean time, we had another promo came due which we paid in full. On our next statement, we had a $40 some charge of interest so I called to ask about it. I was treated very rudely by the lady on the phone. I finally asked her to not treat me like I was dumb and that I was not calling about the interest from the first promo but was just making sure I wasn’t being charged interest from last promo.

    As we all know, credit card companies do make mistakes and I like to monitor my bills. I don’t care if I was calling about the initial promo and asking the same question over and over. Their job is to assure me that my bill is correct and well understood by the consumer! So, you better bet I will be reconsidering any further transactions with Home Depot!

    I have been dealing with HD extended warranty for over a month to fix my riding lawn mower. The extended warranty call center is in the Philippines. They referred me to a company that HD does not use anymore. I contacted several HD stores and talked to store managers with no avail. I contacted HD corporate office and I am still dealing with them. At this point, I am so angry and dissatisfied with them. Since they have not delivered on their promise to fix my riding lawn mower, I want them to replace it with a new one. I am done dealing with them. My next move is to take them to court. I want everyone to know that the Home Depot extended warranty is a ripoff. HD does not deliver on promise that you paid for.

    I received a letter dated March 30, 2012 from your manager for the credit review department. It indicated that my account ending in ** had been closed. It stated the reasons I contacted Equifax and got my credit score and credit history. I have had several purchases from Home Depot and my accounts were paid as agreed. I have not had any activity on any of my accounts as I have been out of work for the past two years. You do not open accounts and charge an account when you have a very limited income. I don't, in order to keep my good credit.

    Please review my Equifax Credit Bureau report and my credit score. I think you will determine that I am credit worthy. This letter makes me look like a pretty bad credit risk, which I am not. Will you please write me another letter after reviewing my account? I do have one negative regarding a Dr. **. This has been explained to Equifax on my activity page, it does not show as a collection. Thanks for your attention on this matter.

    After waiting 20 minutes for the clerk to finish up with a client at the Guelph Line Burlington store, he could not find the laminate flooring I wished to view, then needed a forklift license to either lower some down or whatever the hell he was mumbling about. So I left disgusted and proceeded to the Burloak store (Burlington, Ontario) and waited an additional 20 minutes while the clerk finished up with his client. I went searching for him, he'd forgotten about me, then proceeded to say he was sorry, couldn't locate the maple laminate and I would have to wait for Parry or whoever the so he could locate the product. At both stores, it was "sorry, sorry, sorry". I'm sick of hearing that excuse of a word for incompetence. If I ever walk into another Home Depot again, it'll be too soon. I've instructed my daughter not to purchase anything for her new home from Deadbeat Depot.

    I went to HD to purchase a product on the HD card. I got rejected. I was informed by the credit department I had an overdue balance of $19.71. I paid it immediately and was then able to purchase the product. First of all, I hadn't received the first online statement. The charge was made via telephone in February 2012 and I was overdue by a few days. That's why I didn't recall owing a balance. I went to purchase items again on April 5/12 and was rejected again for a purchase of $22.00, so I left the store puzzled and angry. I was told today, April 9/12, by the credit department via telephone that my account had been closed (unknowingly to me and never otherwise informed). Also, I found out the overdue balance was from October 2011 and it was originally $17.00. The $19.71 was with interest.

    Meanwhile, I had made purchases after last October and paid all statements as they came in and made a purchase the day I paid the balance of $19.71. The credit department said that the purchase shouldn't have been allowed and that the account was closed that day. I think Home Depot’s credit department management needs to review their policies. They even track the past history of the thousands of dollars I spent there in the last 4 years. They wouldn't reopen the account. Imagine: $19.71 is likely due to mail and/or online error. I wouldn't have thought I would have received some kind of notification. Oh, well, Rona is expanding here in Guelph.

    I returned a 30-gallon oak tree that I bought about 4 months ago. Store manager John ** refused to honor the same tree and refunded me with store credit instead. I explained to John ** that I didn't want the refund, but to replace the same 30-gallon tree. The tree’s current price is about $136.0 and manager John ** wants me to pay half of the difference. I explained to John that I paid $65 originally to plant the tree and that I couldn't afford to pay any more money. John ** said that he couldn't replace the tree. I explained to John that I needed to replace the tree to cover the 30-gallon open pit for the safety of the pedestrians and for the safety of my mother when watering the plants. I explained to John ** the urgency to cover that pit for liability reasons. He refused to help me. Please call me to resolve and to prevent a possible accident.

    Back in 11/23/11, I went in for an appliances purchase. Because of the Black Friday, I was told that I qualified for a 5% discount and 24 months with no interest if the account was paid in full because the total went over $2,000. Now in March, I started noticing that I was getting charged interest so I called the bank and they said that the 5% automatically disqualified me from getting the 24 no interest. But then when I had asked the Home Depot worker about one interfering with the other, she replied with one has nothing to do with the other' and now Home Depot is refusing to fix their mistake! And now I have to pay for it.

    Washing Machine Extended Warranty - We called the ESP and reported that my washing machine would not spin. They sent someone out and after ordering a part it worked for about 2 weeks and started the same thing again. We called again. The man came out again and said the board was bad and ordered it. When he returned to install the board, it still did not work. He said that a mouse had chewed on the wiring harness. He ordered a harness but when it came in, it was not the correct part.

    Then, they decided that the warranty did not cover mouse damage, which I fully understand. However, I have looked, my wife has looked, we paid another repairman to look and none of us can find any evidence of mouse damage. We offered to pay the man to come back out to show us where the wiring had been chewed but they refuse. They have flagged my account that I have a "mouse infestation" and will not send anyone out.

    I would be glad to pay for the part and the service call if they will show me where the damage is, but they want us to prove that we don't have mice. It makes no difference whether I have mice or not. The bottom line is whether the mice have damaged my machine, but the burden of proof is on us, not them. Bottom line, don't buy the warranty if you have a pest (and who doesn't). They will not honor it.

    I had the Balance Protector on my card for over a year, and then in March 2010, I lost my job. I was laid off, so I took a temporary job for 6 months. And then in October 2010, I took another temporary job, which was supposed to last 6 months. The job ended early, and I was told by Balance Protector I would be covered since it ended before it was supposed to end.

    I submitted all the paperwork I needed to, and they kept asking for more and more documentation. I had sent a letter from my employer, stating it ended early and I sent proof from unemployment. But still after like 3 months of communicating, they denied the claim and said it was not covered because I was on a temporary job. The problem is still today, the Balance Protector website says a temporary job that ends early is covered. So do not trust the people at Citibank; they belong in line with several other big banks in Wall Street.

    Approximately 2 weeks ago, my mother wanted to get a Home Depot card. She has A+ credit rating. She wanted to get a new kitchen put in and also ordered new appliances. My mother is 83 years old and doesn't drive. She was refused a credit card and I'm not sure why. What does her driving have to do with getting a card, everything would have been delivered? To me, Home Depot is prejudice against seniors, unfortunately, Home Depot missed out on a large sum of money as my mother had to go to another store to purchase the items she required. If you could look into this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. My whole family shops at Home Depot and we purchase a great amount of products/renovation materials, etc. Please advise why this happened and why Home Depot won't issue credit cards to seniors. Thanking you in advance.

    Labor Day paint sale scam - Home Depot offered $20 rebates on 5 gallon purchases of Behr and Glidden during Labor Day in 2011. I bought two qualifying products, submitted for the rebates online. I got the tracking numbers and saw the approvals online. I never received either rebate. So I'm out the $40 I would have saved. Don't fall for this scam. I did email customer service and they passed the buck to the rebate group with the excuse that the rebate contractor was having trouble issuing the in-store rebate cards. I won't shop there again if I can help it.
