    I would be lying if I said I didn't visit Home Depot at least once a week. They have everything I need. Right now during the pandemic I am going stir crazy. I have really enjoyed going to Home Depot and browsing for home improvement projects. I have started gardening and found my green thumb. I renovated some furniture with their very helpful staff's assistant, and I am about to start remodeling my bathroom next. I promise they have everything you need for your home improvement and more!

    I think the prices for the quality of the tools not always reflects it. There are many tools made in China that are in poor quality. Maybe Home Depot will be more stringent with the manufacturers from there because they need to understand that the North American consumer is not that stupid after all and buys everything they send our way.

    Most Home Depot stores in my area are clean, organized and customer service is not too bad. One of the better experiences I had with Home Depot was in buying a refrigerator, I ordered it with the help of a customer service rep. One the promised day it was delivered by a great crew. They came in and removed my old fridge, then set up my new one, they were courteous, hard working, very customer service oriented and thorough. If I ever want another appliance I plan to use Home Depot.

    I have gone to Home Depot for a number of years and have been very pleased. The only challenge that I have found is not having enough employees on hand. The products which they sell, and stand behind is wonderful. I have never had any issue if something that was purchased was not right, as there never was a problem on returns.

    Trying to install a few simple Rubbermaid shelves. A minor cost, shouldn't be complicated. Ordered 8 shelf planks online for delivery to home. While waiting for those, did online order and "same day pickup" for a bunch of inexpensive shelf brackets to hang them with. Order for brackets ended up being fragmented, partially cancelled due to no stock (despite website showing lots of stock), and then when I showed up to collect the few brackets they had, I waited in the store for nearly an hour through successive reps who all had to "go home" and handed me off to another. Eventually they found them, but what should have been a 10 minute pickup turned into a several-hour odyssey to be sure I got what I had already paid for—and of course I didn't get all of it because half the order was cancelled after being placed. Then, got home to find the shelves had been delivered to my door.

    Opened the box to find that they had only included 7 shelves (paid for 8) and that 3 of the shelves were badly damaged (think 8 inches of lamination peeling off on a laminated shelf, or a massive 1" dent in another laminated shelf). In short, I ordered online for in-stock items, waited a week, then ended up having to spend 3 hours in store anyway, didn't get either the # of shelves or the # of brackets that I paid for, and the goods that I did get were damaged. Then I head back to the website to discover... There's no way online to address these problems. I have to call their 1-800 number, which naturally is only open during business hours (will be calling first thing tomorrow to spend more time on these idiots) and will not doubt not go smoothly. I do not have any usable shelves and I also sadly do not expect to see my money again. Total ripoff, and I couldn't be more aggravated. Never again will I shop at Home Depot. Lowe's or Ace for me.

    I love this store but I think that the quality and number of sales helpers has decreased over the years. When I have a question, I have to hunt down a salesperson, and then wait for him to finish with the customer who already has him. Sometimes they give me the wrong aisle for what I'm looking for after all that waiting. I do like the store, still. It has a big selection of anything to improve your house.

    My experience at 5 different stores is that customer service is highly dependent on who the store manager is. The same store with a change of top management can go from very good to below average within a few years. I know from direct experience as a vendor in those stores.

    I saw a beautiful patio set at Home Depot online. When ready to purchased saw a offer of $100 off when applying and paying with their credit card. I took the offer, finish the application and directed me to complete the purchase. As I was ready to finalized it asked for CVV number of credit card, which did not make sense because it's supposed to be automatic. I called customer service. They gave me a cvv number, which worked! I received an email with my order number but almost immediately received another email saying the purchased could not go through!!

    Called customer service again!! They couldn't process the order and transfer me to the credit card as they told me I could go back and complete my purchase. Once transferred they finalized my application apparently which was supposed to be done before my PURCHASE!! Transfer me to customer service again but couldn't process my order or purchase again because the item was out of stock, even though the purchase is in my history but apparently did not go through and they said nothing could be done.

    Pissed and frustrated is not enough to describe how furious I am and disappointed of this company. The only reason I open a line of credit was to get the offer or $100 off and the free shipping offer. My credit inquiry and almost 2 hours going back and forward was a complete waste of time and all for nothing. DO NOT!! BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM OR APPLY FOR THEIR CREDIT CARD. They have lost a customer. I will go to LOWE'S from now on and advise everyone I know and come in contact with home depot, to not do business with them. HORRIBLE COMPANY AND HORRIBLE WAY TO TRICK CUSTOMERS.

    I purchased 37 cases of Malibu Wide Plank hardwood floor from Home Depot store. The deliver person just pushed all the floors down from a large truck and the floors got damaged. Home Depot promised me I could get a refund. But they refused to pick up floors back by themselves. They said it was the manufacturer's responsibility of picking up. They couldn't give my money back unless they received the damaged floors. This Malibu Wide Plank didn't reply calls or emails and can not schedule a pick up. After 9 days, those floors still sit on my drive way and my money was still hold by home depot. Home Depot sold me the floors but they blamed only the manufacturer.

    Went to my local HD to buy 4 x Toto toilets on 4 JUN, HD did not have 4 on hand so they said I could order online and have delivered to my house. Ordered them online ~$2500, was surprised with a delivery date of 25 days wait time. Waited 25 days and ensured that I would be home at time of delivery so I could ensure delivery was complete and not damaged....Delivery did not arrive. Contacted HD customer service to track order...Stated it was scheduled to arrive today. I asked to be transferred to a representative, after substantial wait time I was transferred to a representative to whom was assisting another customer with an order. I could hear details of their transaction to include PII and CC info. I spoke trying to let them know I was on the line but no-one responded.

    I hung up and redialed HD and was placed in the queue again, after a significant wait during which I was “water-boarded” by recordings of HD Covid-19 precautions I finally was answered by a CR rep. I provided my order number and was told that he could not access the freight company’s information to provide me with delivery information. He then told me that it would take them 48-72 hours for HD/xPO to investigate and provide me a status. I responded that was unacceptable: since I thought the original 25 day delivery time was excessive, I had a contractor scheduled to do the installation, and that I had a hard date to start a family vacation for which I had substantial outlays. The HD CR rep then connected me to “escalations”.

    After a second lengthy wait being “water-boarded” by HD recordings, I was connected to the escalation rep who could not provide any additional information but promised she would call me within an hour with information after contacting xPO, but warned that they may have to cancel my order and re-order my items. I have spent over $50K with HD over the last few years and expected better customer service. I asked to be called by a manager or a VP to which she responded that was unlikely. To date, I have not received my order or been contacted by Escalations/CR or any other HD rep. Be wary of conducting business by phone with HD...Your call is not secure.

    Beware of Home Depot Gift Cards and Store Credits! Home Depot is refusing returns on items purchased with store credit from gift cards. On 6/10/2020, I purchased $140.78 in items at the Prescott Valley Home Depot. I used a store credit of $8.70, left over from a gift card. That afternoon, I attempted to return an item that was not what the Home Depot employee claimed it was. My transaction was denied because I used the $8.70 store credit for the purchase. I had my receipt at the time of return and was told by the store manager it would be taken care of, but I would need to write a letter disputing the denial of the return.

    It was not taken care of as the store manager said it would. I wrote a letter on 6/11/2020 explaining my situation and have not heard a thing from Home Depot. They have locked up my transaction with no possibility of return. Avoid Home Depot gift cards and Home Depot store credits.

    Thank you Home Depot for helping to keep us safe in these challenging times. This morning I went to the Home Depot on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. in West Palm Beach, FL. I was tentative about going to any store but knew this store had the ability to self check out with store associates near enough to answer questions. This eased my mind. Further, all associates were properly wearing masks. I saw three men helping load a truck and they were all wearing masks. The staff in the garden area were all wearing masks properly. Carts were waiting as I entered the garden area so my time was well used. The staff greeted me to let me know they were available and as a courtesy. I was able to get what I needed and check out in an efficient manner. Thank you again for helping to keep us all safe!

I told them I was a retiree and couldn't afford that and was offered an apartment sized refrigerator for $100 less.

    I waited approximately 15 minutes on the phone and then I was told I need to call the Corporate office or Customer Affairs, I believe, he said since I understand they could not help me---but I had called the Need Help number on their website. I wanted to mention that the wording for an item on their website needed to be clarified.

    I also mentioned that their website search function does not work too well and finds completely unrelated things. Also their store personnel all too often do not know where things are, so your in store time can be wasted while they keep look for something. In addition, one employee in management in the local store didn't seem to think their posting a job as if they were looking for a person but were not really was an issue, but it wasted my time. Concerning the COVID-19 issue, they have not cleaned the hand scanner between customers that you have to use at the checkout. Their previous checkout system did not require handling the hand scanner---all you had to do was swipe the barcode in front of the scanner.

    If I could rate Home Depot Canada 0 stars, I would. I made a purchase on May 3rd and was given an order confirmation and order tracking number. Their website said to expect delays due to Covid 19, but that they would do their best to ship out the order within 72 hours. I waited for one MONTH, each day checking the progress on my item to see that it still had not even shipped. I did not receive any emails about my item or any sort of update to my order. I decided to call customer support to see what was going on. I waited on hold for 2 and a half hours before I was finally given a prompt to enter my phone number for a call back. I did not get a call back for 2 days. Unfortunately Home Depot does not have e-mail or chat support, and does not allow you to cancel orders online, so the only way I was able to contact them was by phone. I tried 3 times to contact them on Twitter, but no response there either.

    When I finally got a call back I was told that my order payment did not originally go through, and that at some point the payment processed and the item was shipped. I was told I should expect the item in "about a week". Again I received no emails regarding the original pending transaction, OR an email with a receipt updating that the transaction had completed. The customer support agent at Home Depot assured me I would receive my package soon. Over a month and a half after ordering my item (June 18th), I get an email from Home Depot stating that my order had been cancelled due to stock not being available.

    What an absolute circus and waste of my time. I don't want to bother trying to call them back so that I can wait on hold for another 2 and a half hours, only to be told to wait for a call back. I've decided to take my business elsewhere to businesses who have actual customer service and organization skills. If you look at the reviews on the BBB, their response to complaints is to copy paste the same bs response to call their customer service line (that you can't even get through) for resolution. They don't give a crap about their customers. I will never shop at Home Depot again, and I'm leaving this review so that other people can save themselves the hassle that I went through.

    Once again my experience with Home Depot has been disappointing and representative of a corporation lacking empathy and accountability for solving problems responsibly for its customers. Specifically I called this past Friday to obtain advice about ordering hardie plank to be delivered. I was given recommendations to order online and schedule a delivery which I did this past Friday that include an $80 delivery fee. After receiving written confirmation by e-mail that the materials I ordered would be delivered today, Saturday, June 13, the hardie planks did not arrive on Saturday. To address this problem, I called two different times late Saturday afternoon to determine why there was a delivery problem and how to resolve it. This was very important because we had hired someone to paint the planks on Monday.

    Not only was I informed the hardie planks would be delivered four days later (next Wednesday), but also I was informed by a Home Depot associate and then the manager that I should not have ordered these materials online. They stated they could do nothing about the delivery date. The fact I was given confirmation for a date did not matter that I had scheduled work based on information they confirmed. We will now lose more than half a week on this project. In addition, both Home Depot representatives indicated they were not aware of what the online system communicated to me. I offered to provide them evidence of what I received.

    More importantly it was evident that those working in customer service did not view this problem as one belonging to them. Everyone communicated they could do nothing. All of the conversations focused on what I should have done differently, beginning with not placing an order online and recommending I shop at Home Depot with more than half of the customers not wearing masks during a pandemic. Also, a commitment made that a manager would call back did not happen.

    I have shopped periodically at Home Depot for several decades, and my overall experiences have been poor to miserable if I needed advice, assistance, or a return on something I purchased. This experience has not been unusual. Last year we needed to return a dishwasher that was too big. It took 12 weeks and 10 calls before my funds were returned to my credit card.

    For this specific problem, I asked that the order be cancelled and the delivery fee refunded. I am guardedly optimistic I will receive these funds within five working days. I will buy the hardie plank from another business. This experience was the tipping point. I will discontinue shopping at Home Depot. I also recommend they place an ad in the Oregonian telling their customers not to schedule a delivery online because the commitment is meaningless.

    No employees at Home Depot wear masks. I will never shop at Home Depot because of their response to Covid19. They have no safety measures for their customers to keep them safe while inside their store. The reason I know this is because I called and spoke to the manager and asked him why his employees are not wearing masks. He told me that their corporate office told them they don't have to wear masks. I then called Lowe's and spoke to the manager and asked him if all the employees wear masks and he says "yes they are required to." Home Depot has lost my business for any home improvements. All Lowe's employees wear masks. This is now our store for home improvements.

    I made the HUGE mistake of ordering parts to fix a toilet flange using Home Depot's online "deliver to store" option. The parts trickled in slowly to the store. Each part triggered a slew of daily emails telling me pick up the (incomplete) order or it would be cancelled. Although they promised "easy curbside pick-up" I found when I went to pick up my first order that there was no curbside pick-up - in fact I was directed to join the long line of people waiting to RETURN items as well as those wanting to simply pick up their paid for orders, like me. After realizing it would be an hour to pick up my little order I left, only to find an even longer line on my next visit.

    I returned home empty-handed, where I found an email thanking me for picking up one part of my order - which I hadn't. So now I had to deal with theft as well as major inconvenience and wasted time. Even worse, Home Depot's phone "support" lines had not worked for weeks - every call started with the warning that wait times were unusually long, followed by an interminable wait with no support personnel ever answering the call. I will NEVER shop at Home depot again. If you use their online system, be forewarned. You are likely to be subjected to the worst possible sales and support from any company that ever operated in America.

    I'm very upset! I have 25+yrs customer service experience, I have never in my life time experience anything like with Home Depot. I purchased cabinets and appliances for my kitchen remodel at home depot. I'm a single women in my 50's; my cabinets were delivered at 8:30 pm left in my drive way. No knock on my door nor did they ring my doorbell. I just happened to look out the window to see a truck drive off. I had to locate a friend to come and help me put the cabinets in the garage because it was going to storm that night by this time is 10 pm. Next day I open the cabinets and the large one was damaged. It took me three visits to home Depot to resolve the issue with my damage cabinet. My appliances were supposed to be deliver May 12, no show, I went into the store to find out what happen, they tell me it was a glitch, new delivery date May 18, no show.

    I called the 800# for delivery assistance. They tell me there is an issues with my fridge. They transfer me to GE, GE tells me my fridge is no longer in stock..said that if Lowe's sells the same appliance but with a faster delivery Lowe's customer would get the product. WTF! Are you kidding me. I paid for an item they didn't even have in stock? GE offers me a substitution model, I said ok, said delivery date June 9. Now it's June 9, guess what? No show! Call that 800# again. Tells me that there is a problem with the substitution fridge no longer in stock. Now I'm Pissed off!

    I asked to speak with someone in corp., they tell me they don't have a number for corp., if I wanted to speak with someone in the escalate department. Escalate dept. tell me they can't do anything, transfer me to a corp number, there the lady tells me she can't do anything, she tries to get ahold of the store or GE to no avail. Last words to me was to cancel the order or try going into the store to choose another fridge. I'm like, "You're kidding me right." So if I choose yet again another fridge it will be delivered? Right! Just like the other ones were! I will be cancelling my appliances and taking back my cabinets. In all of this my kitchen remodeling has been on hold for almost a mth now. I'm DONE with Home Depot! I'll purchase somewhere else.

    I wanted to purchase several items, in quantity. You think a company would want business... not true with Home Depot. They really dont give a **! I had to carefully shop the store location and items to ensure it was all in stock for the order to go through. They changed the delivery date on me without ANY type of notice, costing me a day of work and ruining my weekend. But I then called to ADD to the order and was told that wasnt possible since my items were already set aside for delivery. So then the following Monday they pulled another stunt. They moved the date AGAIN, costing me ANOTHER day of work!!! And again, no notice or warning at all!!

    So I call up and spend hours on hold, listening to their stupid recording hundreds of times. Then the phone just disconnects!! I call the store and eventually get a manager. As soon as I start explaining the guy says "Want my corporate number?" As if that would be of use... It is against Federal Law to charge someone for a delivery order then sell the material to someone else! It's different if a company doesnt charge you until it ships. So Home Depot wanted my money in the bank while they sold my stuff to someone else jacking me around. Evil scumbags.

    You CANT cancel the order online!!! You have to call to cancel and they put you through a nightmare of wasted hours to do that. The order got cancelled and now I still have the problem I was going to fix, lost 2 days of work, blown weekend, hours on hold. This is starting to feel like Soviet Era Russia waiting in line for toilet paper. I will never give home depot another dime. I shopped there often. Now they are scum.

    I made a bulk order of a bunch of landscaping material and odds and ends. The first issue came from the curbside pickup order where the young kids who were loading stuff into the truck were aggravated I didn't help enough. Even though social distancing was being mandated at the time and they had no masks. Second problem began when they sourced the 'garden soil' to a local supply yard who doesn't even have garden soil, only poor quality top-soil. You pay extra money for bulk garden soil from Home Depot online.

    When I attempt to cancel/refund the order I get a customer service rep who must have had me muted and didn't know I was there so I had the privilege of hearing about her sex life she was describing to a co-worker and her boyfriend troubles after waiting on hold for 45 mins. Then I get someone finally to initiate the refund and it simply never happens so I have to go through my credit card company. Finally, the stone I ordered was sent to a local shipper who couldn't ship that much weight. How does Home Depot not know this? Then they tell me it takes 14 days to figure out how to handle that or I could cancel by calling the shipper again and then calling them back in a few days to refund the order so I can wait on hold again for 45 mins. Unacceptable.

Ordered on Monday, didn't get a pickup notice until late Saturday evening, and then only had 7 days to get them. I called three days after waiting and the phone rang for 30 minutes, and once I got a life person was told we had to "wait a few hours after ordering". I explained we waited 3 days and had to call off our contractor. At that point they made a lot of excuses of why it wasn't picked (really busy, less staff, etc). I could've gone into the store and gotten them the next day but I assumed due to covid, it was encouraged to do curbside ordering. They made no apologies or even could tell me when I could come get them. I had not way to cancel the order also, so I was stuck.

    The past few years I went to Home Depot to get my annual plants. I prefer to spend a bit more by purchasing individual plants and potting them myself versus hanging baskets ready to go. On average $250+. No more! Home Depot is just so unorganized to easily find the plants I want in a timely fashion. Some petunias over here, some petunias over there. Why aren't the Begonias in the same spot they were last year or even close proximity? Why do the stickers on the plastic container not have the name of the plant on it?

    As usual anytime I ask someone who is watering or organizing plants for help in locating a plant the answer always is "I don't work work here or I only work with tall plants. Look for someone in a red shirt." Not an orange shirt because apparently true Home Depot employees also don't know where to find the specific plants Home Depot sells. I'm trying to spend my time BUYING plants, not looking for someone in a red shirt.

    With this virus thing going a person would think that every sale is so critical. I would think that there would be enough staff to ensure that customers are walking out of the store with purchases instead of leaving the store with an abandoned cart half full because the customer gets fed up with not being able to find help much less what they would like to purchase. Back to a local gardener where my money is appreciated and actual help in finding what I want is actually available!

I call carrier to make sure the same thing does not happen again, and they say I need to bring a truck to the top of the driveway to pick it up. No one contacts me, I have to contact them. How can the movers bring a bigger truck in and out and they can't? They just do not want to, and do not care. Home Depot gives you the run around. They make you deal with the lousy delivery company they hired. Their carrier is absolutely ridiculous and could care less about the customer. I had to cancel the order and buy it from someone else.

Estimated delivery date 1 June. Today - 30 May, when looking up the tracking I noticed that it said 'Delivered with Shortage' - on 18 May. There are 2 delivery companies, so I called the one that is responsible for final delivery. I was told by them that they'd never received the mower and it's lost in transit. They said this "The linehaul carrier the vendor assigned to deliver this to our facility, had reported this as lost in transit. The order has been closed out."

They stated in the email on May 23rd that there will be no charge to my bank card, yesterday May 26th they charged my bank card even after the fact I shut my card off and flagged them.

    I called my bank and opened up a fraud report, my bank said they are at awe how they pushed the payment through seeing how my card is shut off and I also had requested a new bank card and had flagged Home Depot on my account. I also called and talked to a woman at Home Depot and she was ignorant, when I asked why I was charged 2 times. And why in the email they state they will not be charging my bank. She told me not to worry. I will get a refund back in 3-5 days. "It's Home Depot routine to take from your bank then put it back on." That sounds fraudulent to me when I had not authorized it.

    Original review: I ordered a metal shed on May 4th. I was suppose to pick it up May 19th from Home Depot, that day came and no pick up available. I called their phone number and took 45 minutes to talk to anyone, then when someone finally was able to talk she didn't know what she was doing. Her children were in the background crying, I wanted my order cancelled seeing how it yet shipped at all. It had been stuck on process, instead she sent a letter to get tracking number, so today May 20th I got the email stating the product and shipping has been delayed, I called again and waited 45 minutes the lady I spoke to on the second call. Said the order could not be cancelled even though it has not shipped. They mislead people on cancelling, but so fast to take money out of your account knowing they do not have the product in stock and allows customers to add it to the cart.

    She proceeded to tell me I can get a refund when I go pick it up, which makes no sense when it can be cancelled before shipping. I have been so irate over it that I took matters in my own hands and flagged home depot through my bank, and turned my debit card off so they aren't charging my card again. I even told the home depot lady I was doing it, she said the order would cancel when they run the charge and it declines, I said, "Well guess that's the only option left to do." She acted like she didn't care. If I only knew they didn't have the product in stock I would have went to Lowe's who had it.

    Home Depot in Harrison Ohio ISSUES... 1st Problem- My husband and I ordered a marble countertop at the store. We told the salesman the countertop will be installed in the kitchen. After the purchase we were told to go to the stone yard to close a stone slab. Luckily the people at the stone yard company contacted us to let us know marble is a bad choose for kitchen countertops because it is hard to get stains out of marble. So we went with granite and the stone company would guarantee the granite stone for 15 years, the marble they would not. Home Depot should had known this.

    2nd Problem- We ordered 5 windows last year, what a nightmare. The salesman was very quick to come to our house to measure for the windows and have us sign the paperwork, this was the fastest part the the job. We were told the windows would be installed in about 2 weeks, it took about 5 months. I keep calling to get answers of when Home Depot would install the windows, no one would return my calls. The problem seem to be upper management. After I finally left a message with the Home Depot's Vice President of Construction I received a call within 30 minutes. I finally had my window installed a week later and the installers did a great job.

    3rd Problem- Our refrigerator died this March just when the COVID-19 started, we didn't want to do it but we had to go to Harrison Home Depot once again. The salesman in the appliance department was very helpful and knowable. The refrigerator was delivered two week later (on scheduled). The problem began with the men that delivered the refrigerator, they didn't wear masks, the ice maker wasn't installed, they installed it in our kitchen, the doors were not set up right. A week later we notice the icemaker was leaking water in the ice tray and the bottom of the freezer, there was about 3/8in thick of ice.

    I had to fight with Home Depot to get a repairman back to fix the problem. A repairman came out and saw there were parts to the icemaker missing and connections were wrong, he didn't have the parts to fix it and left the icemaker on the counter and a week later we still have not heard back from Home Depot. OVERALL... DO NOT GO to the Harrison Home Depot.. We never will again.

We had to pay for our indoor purchases before leaving the store and going around to a separating entrance for the gardening section. I left and went to Home Hardware at least it was a comfortable shopping experience.

    I have no use for a card that puts a 14 hold on a PAYMENT TO THEM!!!! They take the money from my bank and then refuse to apply the payment to my available balance for 14 days! So they hold my money for 14 days, but charge me interest on the money I borrow from them on the card! Yea, no thanks! I even called them as my cordless drill went down and tried to get them to update my balance so I could BUY a new one from them! No dice. Told me it was set to be released tomorrow on 5-19-20, and there was nothing they could do about it.

    I made my payment on the 4th and they took the money out of my account! But I cant use it for 15 days and I get no interest on the money they hold, all the while paying interest on the card balance for another half a month! They say it's in their policy. I say fine! Take your card and your policy and stick it! I will never step foot in the place again after I finish with one return. I will gladly drive the extra 20 miles to go to Lowes or even = better, Menards! And I probably wont even return it because they will put the balance on a card that I have to use there!

    Last time I did that, their employee took my return and put the money on a gift card, THEN, repurchased the return with said card and then DID ANOTHER RETURN! And put the balance on a second card and gave me the first one with 0 balance! They evidently didnt expect me to try and use it that day, but I did and it all came out. It took almost an hour to get it straightened back out and the employee who did it had already left for the day! Never heard another thing about it and that is THEFT! They would have prosecuted me for theft if I had done anything like that! Im done with them! And thats not even everything!

    I went to the Home Depot store #0728 here in Knoxville on Saturday 5/16 and was stunned. Only one associate was wearing a mask - even if they do not care about themselves they should care about their customers. Why are they not required to wear PPE? I left the store and went across the street to Lowes and all of their associates were wearing mask. I will no longer shop at Home Depot for this reason - if they don't care about my safety then I will go someplace that does and that happens to be Lowes.

    I rented a dump trailer from HD tool rental on 5/17 from the Cleveland, Ohio store on Brookpark road. The tool rental experience was not as advertised. The tool rental center associate was pleasant to work with. She admitted to the lack of training they receive. "The guys just drop off equipment, and we don't know about it, and we aren't trained on it," Well, that's unsettling to hear. The do it yourself really has to figure it out, huh? If the associate can't educate a customer properly, then the customer can't use the machine properly. It sounds like a lawsuit when someone seriously gets injured. Great conversation to have when renting equipment.

    Upon renting the trailer, the associate had no idea if it was charged or not. Well, that's not ideal. I came a long way to rent this and needed to walk away with the equipment. She stated they have no way to charge equipment properly. "Something was supposed to be done, but then COVID hit." It sounds like something should have been done way before COVID. How can you have battery-operated equipment with no proper charging station? Even still, they don't appear to have the time or knowledge to get the equipment ready for customer use. This sounds like a leadership problem at the store level and above.

    I had to travel quite a way to get this dump trailer and was not sure it would make the trip back and forth. This thing for sure has been used and abused to a question of how safe it was to use. The passenger side wheel was so wobbly it was vibrating my truck on the highway. Come to find out it was missing two wheel studs, and the others were very loose. We had to secure them to continue traveling. Even then, it did not seem safe.

    When dumping my load of gravel, the bed did not close slowly, the bed slammed down, and hydraulic fluid leaked from the machine. Another question of personal safety, and I'm sure the EPA would love this. We had to take extra time to dig out and remove the affected part of the ground. "Less saving and for sure MORE doing."

    I attempted to call the store when the issues occurred, but no one answered my call. It kept getting rerouted. You can tell this machine has not been appropriately serviced for these issues not to be new. A broken wheel stud with a degree of rust to indicate it happened months ago. Frayed wires and a battery that is so beat up because it was not adequately secured. Returning the machine turned into another saga. The location of the equipment is poorly placed. I did not think much of it when taking it, but it is surrounded by customer's vehicles. How can one possibly back up equipment in and out without causing damage to anything or even anyone? While it may have curb appeal, it is not convenient.

    The associate could not believe how his coworker sent the machine out because it was not ready and said she should never have. On a Sunday morning, only one tool rental center associate was available to help, and he admitted to his coworker calling off. So as he is dealing with us, frustrated customers, the phone is ringing off the hook and customers are waiting. Not a good look for Home Depot. An essential business, without essential help. Explains why no one could take our calls the day before. He willingly wiped out the contract and called the manager on duty to take our complaints further. He even supported our cause by telling us how to really rectify the situation with higher up management. Apparently, this is a common theme for customers to deal with.

    The manager on duty could not believe our poor experience. She was very sincere in our plight, though. We commented on inadequate maintenance protocols in place, in which she responds to how home depot doesn't even own the machines, another company is involved, and the other company leaves them parked there. Well, my, who's the other company? Why aren't they doing their job? We inspected some of the other pieces of equipment, to see if this was a fluke, but they were just as used and abused. The battery-operated equipment also was not plugged in, confirming the first associate's comment with the question of battery power.

    How can you rent pieces of equipment like this to the public? Who isn't doing their job? Why don't you service your machines? Why don't you train your associates? You failed in getting this doers stuff done. Then to boot! Another customer shared their horror story with a store delivery of items, and how her calls were not returned. Her delivery was MIA and then randomly shows up. She encouraged us to press on because we would need it. Oi! Be prepared to do more at your inconvenience.

    Home Depot has gone completely downhill. It takes 20/30 minutes to find floor staff. Unlikely to find anyone with knowledge in the area required. Even more unlikely to find someone who takes responsibility to find a person who does. They are not training, or paying their staff well. It shows in their utter lack of concern or care to follow up or follow through. Not worth spending money with a company that doesn't value your customer. They have slowly drifted off the mark over the past 8 years, but now they are accelerating away from anything that could remotely be called customer service. If you have time and money to waste - shop there. I have been an extremely loyal customer for 20 years. This is a company wide problem not just a store issue. I will never step foot in the place again. Buyer Beware!

    March 31, 2020 I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator at Home Depot, the refrigerator was delivered on April 9 and the person who made the delivery said that we should wait 3 days for it to cool down well, but I kept waiting for one more day and it didn't cool down. I decided to go to Home Depot and claim and a representative indicated that I should submit my claim directly to Whirlpool since Home Depot did not make returns.

    I called Whirlpool many times to request the change and they told me that by policy they did not make changes but that they would send me a technician, (I was already in the second week without a refrigerator,) The technician reviewed the problem and it was lack of gas. Three days later I called and they told me that the repair area was closed and that I should call again. After two weeks of waiting they sent me to the technician with the new part, it took me more than three hours to say that they finally approved to send me a new refrigerator, (after a month of waiting).

    Unfortunately I didn't know about Home Depot's return policy and the quality of care they give their customers is the worst, starting with the store manager who didn't care about my problem and made me feel like I was a thief. I transmit this experience so that they decide well where to buy. Lowe's accepts return of failed appliances seamlessly.

    Long time patron, with short break some yrs ago because customer of service. Switched to Lowe's. Few yrs ago, decided to try HD again. Things at this store seemed better so I continued patronizing. This evening I went to HD to purchase indoor/outdoor carpet & PVC board. PVC board - helped by "Junior" who deserves 5 stars. Afterward the good experience ended.

    I walked the store for almost 15 mins trying to find help in carpet. Finally found a woman who said the person working that dept was on lunch but she'd be back soon. REALLY???? Told her I was not going to wait for an employee to get back from lunch - if they could not help me, I would leave my cart & go elsewhere. She reluctantly paged someone (I had previously seen at least 6 employees walking the store - until I needed help). I started back to carpet (she didn't tell me to wait there or go back to carpet).

    A few mins later, Todd started walking my direction. I asked if he was headed to carpet. He gave me a dirty look & asked rudely "do you want something?" He was wearing a face cover, but it easy to see his dirty look & eye roll. I decided to overlook this & go ahead & accompany him to carpet. Once there, told him I wanted Elevations - Sky Grey Indoor/Outdoor 12 ft. Carpet. I have purchased this item here before. His said he didn't think they had in stock. I said web site shows they have 197.

    Finally, I went over to the rolls of carpet, looked up & pointed to the product. I said "it is right there, you just need to roll it down." I was not rude or sarcastic in any way - just trying to point out the did have product. He was not happy. He rolled it down & asked how much I needed - I said, "Two 14' sections". He asked how wide I wanted (hello - it only comes in 12' widths) & I said 12'. He said he was sure they didn't have enough. It was clear there was at least enough for one 14' section. He argued he didn't think there was enough - web site info correct as of 10:00 last night & they had been inundated with contractor orders.

    Finally I said "can we just measure it out & see if you have enough for at least 14'?" Very reluctantly, he began loading into the measuring/cutting device. Another employee came to assist (he was polite unlike Todd). They measured the first 14' & started wrapping it. I asked if he could only wrap the ends instead of the whole thing because I would need to fold in half, and Todd turned & gave me the nastiest look you can imagine. He said it was easy to fold & showed by folding one section. I said "honey that's fine for you, but I am not strong (I am also disabled, but did not feel it necessary to tell him that) & it would be easier for me to manage if you left the middle untaped (how hard is that?)". He glared at me.

    The other employee stepped in & said he would tape the other end. Todd proceeded to throw it on my cart (reg cart-not lumber cart) w/o folding in half. I had to fold it in half - then because it was only 1/3 in the cart, I had to try to lift it on top & hurt my back in the process (the plastic "wrapping" clings to cart - doesn't slide). Asked for help - Todd ignored me - other employee helped get it on top of cart. I said it was clear there was not another 14' of this color, but they did have blue in stock, so asked for 14' of blue.

    When Todd was totaling $, I asked for verification it was $168. I mentioned the .50 per ft & Todd snapped back "we don't sell by the foot, only by the yard." I told him that price per ft & price per yd are listed. He said, "The per foot is just for your info". I said, "You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that price per sq ft & price per sq yd calculate the same (by now I had completely lost my patience with his rudeness)". I told him that he had been a total jerk since he came to "assist" me. He said I had told everyone in the store how to do their job. I said I only spoke to 1 other employee for help & he was polite. He then threatened me & said "irrational behavior is a symptom of COVID19 & we have a right to refuse service to anyone we suspect of having COVID 19."

    On my way to check out, I asked another employee to get me the store mgr. The asst mgr (store mgr not on duty) came to the front. I explained what happened & told him I would likely never again shop at HD. Of course, he was apologetic & said this was not like Todd at all (although one of several employees I spoke to outside when loading my car said "that's just like Todd)." Clearly Todd needs to give his job to someone who really wants it. HD should not tolerate this kind of rudeness & will lose customers accordingly. Neither Todd nor the woman I asked for help know what customer service is. In my over 40 years of being a consumer, this is, hands down, the ABSOLUTE WORST experience I have ever had AT ANY retailer. It takes a lot for me to complain to a manager & even more for me to post a negative review. Take that how you want.

Late on Friday May 8, we received an "update" on the delivery stating that delivery would be delayed until July 18. Having a lot of frozen meat with no place to put it, we had no choice but to cancel the order and try to obtain one somewhere else. Home Depot wasted 10 days for nothing. Home Depot should not sell merchandise they don't have. Once they accept an order, there needs to be a product within their control that they can put the customer's name on.

    I have worked in logistics for over 20 years and find this outrageous. The Covid has impacted the supply chain in certain areas, but Home Depot should not be selling items they do not have in inventory, that's on backorder or have a clue when they will have the product in inventory. At the time of the shipping, the order should have been on hand at the warehouse, or listed as out of stock on the website. If for some reason, more than one person selected, we should know when the back order would be shipping.

    It has been 2 WEEKS and Home Depot has no idea when this will be shipping or the back order date. That is unacceptable to not know, be told it will get here whenever due to Covid and we are on the hook $1000+ since it's past the cancel period.

I tried to have everything delivered from the local store, but the wizards at Home Desperate dispatched my order to the corners of the globe. Item are coming in one at a time, others that are missing are now listed as delivered although I have not received them, and to add insult to injury, after I called the local store to track down the missing items, they added an $87 express delivery fee. The site states specifically that there is no delivery fee for orders over $45, and at $300+ this order qualifies if I understand 4th grade arithmetic.

    I spent over 3 hours on the phone with Home Depot, spoke eventually with the store manager. He appeared conciliatory when I spoke with him, but claims that the fee which is written plain as day on the order does not exist, and that he can't do anything about the missing items which I have paid for, and need for this job. I operate a small business, and things are difficult for everybody with COVID 19, but they are taking advantage. Now I have a partial order, none of which I can use with the balance of the order MIA, a delivery fee to contest with the bank, and a disappointed customer whose project I just postponed due to a lack of materials.

    I went into Glastonbury store to buy sanding belts, drill bits and picked up a couple of lettuce plants and marigolds. A gentleman standing 6 feet behind me complained that the store Associate wasn't wearing his mask. The Associate refused when asked by the gentleman. The male customer loudly asked for a store manager. While this customer left the line, the Associate kept working without mask. I stated to him that wearing the mask was for our protection. The Associate yelled out to me "You shouldn't even be in the store". I was stunned and confused. In the interim, other Associates began surrounding the area telling the 'rude, non-mask wearing Associate to keep quiet.

    Then, another Associate not wearing any mask loudly told this rude Associate to keep quiet and "she isn't worth it". Now I'm horrified. By the time the Store Manager arrived he did not address any Associate but told me he 'didn't want anything to escalate". I was not the customer who was being infringed upon. Meanwhile Associates began to gather around me. The Store Manager asked the only female Associate to open a register so I "could check out and get my things".

    I told the Store Manager my perspective and this manager denied that anyone wasn't wearing the masks and complained about customers not wearing masks. I do not know to this day WHY, I was told I shouldn't be in the store other than I am a woman and they assumed I was only buying non-essential items. No one cared to look in my cart to see I needed essential items to complete home projects sanding floors. Finally, I called Corporate in Atlanta. I was assured that this treatment was not acceptable, not their views. In the State of Connecticut, we are mandated to wear masks in public if we cannot maintain 6 feet distance. I later spoke to the Full Store Manager who reported he wished Governor Lamont has said in his Executive Order that all 'must' wear masks or he wouldn't have these problems.

    When I tried to tell him the governor did when using the word 'shall', he rudely interrupted telling me he wasn't going to talk about the order with 'me'. If he had a clue, the word 'shall' in legal terms means 'must'. When I asked this manager why I was addressed, surrounded by Associates and told not to be in the store, he apologized. I asked why, the only reason was because I was a woman and the complaint came from the gentleman behind me by 6 feet.

I will use ACES Hardware, lumber yards, farmers markets, and garden centers before I will ever be treated again by these men and lied to by corporate headquarters in Atlanta. Nothing has changed since I worked years ago for Home Depot and quit. It is a 'male only' club where men get respect for their business and women are told "They should not be in their store". So sad, but too bad... women have money and this woman isn't giving any to this company. Last, but not least, SEARS used to treat women this way requiring women to have their husband's name on their credit cards or not giving them to them. Look where SEARS is today!

    Updated on 05/04/2020: This is an update: Yesterday, late 11:00? I submitted a review. Today, I will add to it. After spending 45 Minutes at the register & being told Home Depot would not ship the reed fences, I went to look at my Rental Car. It looked long enough, so I bought the fences and a few other items as well. The fences, I noticed are about the same price as the discrepancy. I may have been charged twice for them; once with the "Reclaimed amount" at the first Register and the second time at the second register when I actually bought them.

    Original review: Today, 4/29 at the El Monte Home Depot, Gabby cashier in the Order & Return Dept. Before I went to the register, I got the description of the fences from the salesman in gardening by the lattice fences. I ordered 2 types of fencing, totaling $100.00. It took her a long time...20 mins. She showed me the Total, it was $225.00! I couldn't figure it out. Upon closer inspection, Home Depot charged a delivery fee of $55.00 for one type of fencing and $75.00 for the other type rather than one delivery charge for the whole order. This was more than the order itself. I said No, I was not paying more in delivery than the cost of the goods that I wanted. She explained that the $75/00 charge for the Reed Fences (2 ordered of 6' by 16' feet) was because the product was in the store. Huh? So was the other one, the lattice.

    I was in a Rental Car, longer than mine. Quickly, I figured I could get those fences in the car hanging out. Not much traffic now... So. I reduced the order to only one type with the $55.00 charge. It took 45 mins. Then, came time to pay. I said check or credit. She said Debit. I said I have no debit. Check or Credit. She said debit. I just took out my card. My card went through, It said Approved. They claimed it didn't. A manager cancelled it, I hope. I'll find out tomorrow. So, I paid by check. By the time I left her register, it had been 45 mins. of questions. I was exhausted.

    This is the third time. The other two were at the Monrovia Depot. I am pushing 70, so it gets trying. Why all the questions? What does it matter if the product is in the store or not? Why all the options? Why so long (45 min)? It feels like Home Depot is trying to get me upset. What happens if a customer gets upset, do they get a break or points? Looking at the receipts: Invoice Total is $130.48 and the Receipt amount, which I paid was $185.47. This receipt shows a $174.15 Recall amount with tax. Home Depot owes me the difference of $54.67.

I then realized that the chairs had stains on the cushions and were floor samples from the Central Islip store which is located in a town with a high rate of coronavirus cases.

They sent me a used item, and after spending over 2 hours waiting for a service representative they call got me a representative. They got me in touch with the store where the chairs were displayed at, the only option they gave me was they could have a truck pick up the chairs. I said I wanted to speak to a manager, the person on the phone said she was the manager. I am extremely upset, I have two kids who I have sheltered in my house for over a month, now I put them at risk of getting exposed to the virus, who knows who sat on those chairs.

Long story short after 3 tries and $300 I was told by both Troy-Bilt and the repair facility that I was causing the problem. I finally called Home Depot and begged them to take the mower back. I was asked to drop it off at the store. Not only did they repair the mower but, they refunded $150.

    Probably my worst experience with any retail store. On April 16, 2020 I placed an order online for fence material. I can’t move into my home until I have a fence built for my dogs. When placing the order it did not give me the ability to select a delivery day due to COVID19 and said that a member would be calling within 24hrs to schedule a delivery day. I didn’t hear anything for 3 days and figured they were having issues due to the current situation. I finally decided to call and the women I spoke with at the N Thornton location said that it was my fault for not selecting a day. I explained what happened and she said that she wouldn’t be able to deliver until April 27, 2020. I understood given the COVID19 situation. She set April 27, 2020 with a 14hr delivery window of 6am-8pm.

    April 26th came and I checked and it showed the same day and delivery window. I took the day off of work as it stated that an adult had to be there. Again, I can’t move into the house so I woke up and drove to the house so I could be there for the full window in case it came early. I checked online again and again it showed the same day and times. I called the N Thornton location in the morning to confirm and was told that they couldn’t confirm times but that my window was from 6am-8pm. I asked if she could give me a better idea of times and she said no and then hung up on me.

    I kept checking on the internet and it stayed the same. I waited at the empty house from 6am-7pm. The store was closed at 6pm so I called the 800 number. I was told that the day was changed to May 4, 2020. I didn’t receive a call, email, text, letter, absolutely no form of communication at all. This is a $3000 order that I already paid for in total on the 16th as well as the $89 express delivery charge. Worst retail experience of my life. I have been a die hard Home Depot customer my entire life. Myself and my entire family will never step foot in a Home Depot again. They will not receive another penny from me.

    I ordered two smoke detectors online. I logged in and after putting in my zip code it automatically pulled up that the store we shop at was local within minutes from our house. So I ordered the two smoke detectors and when the order was completed it came back that they would be sending our order to a Home Depot that was over a 2 hour drive away. When I called the Home Depot customer service number provided and waited an hour to speak to an associate, I was told they were unable to do anything about it at this time. But if I called back in 2-3 hours and waited another hour for someone to answer my call, they would probably be able to help me then. What?! We will not be ordering anything from Home Depot online ever.

    It's taken me hours to work on getting this corrected. I started working on this at 4:30pm and it's now 6:30pm. I'm on my second call to customer service and have been on hold 20 minutes.

    March 21, 2020 We purchased a pressure washer using a Home Depot Credit Card. March 25, 2020 We tried to take it back to the same store it was purchased from. Due to COVID-19 the store was allowing limited access and a rather large line had formed outside. We call the store's customer service to see if we could wait to return the equipment. The representative said that due to COVID the 30 days had been extended to 90 days, if it was purchased using a store credit card we had up to a year to return it. I advised her that it was a gas powered piece of equipment, she said that didn't matter. So we left to return at a better time.

    April 23, 2020 My partner took the pressure washer back to the store with the unopened bag including sales tag, sales receipt and everything that had come with

    it. It had never been more than tripped over in the garage. He was told since more than 30 days had passed, they couldn't take it back. to which he showed the representative the sing in front of her computer stating return periods had been extended to 180 days! She had to get the manager to proceed. The manager stated it could be returned, but could not be placed on the original form of payment - she could only give an ins-store credit! She further stated she could NOT give the full purchase price, she could only return at the current sales price. I have come to the following conclusion... Home Depot is a scam. They will do anything and everything in their power to take advantage of the consumer. Particularly while taunting themselves as virtuous in their care for their customers.

    I placed an online order for two patio sets. Upon delivery, we received one and a half sets plus someone else’s order. Because of the virus, their ‘vendor’ was unable to put the sets together as they typically do, so we didn’t realize the error until after they left while putting it together ourselves. I immediately contacted Home Depot and was left on hold for nearly an hour twice. This is when I resorted to the text option, only hearing back every few hours telling me how busy they were. I finally heard back from an actual human around 1am telling me to call back in the next day. That is what I did, and continued to be placed on hold- resorting again to text.

    Again, my response came well after business hours telling me to contact them again the next day as their vendor doesn’t open until 8am. Instead, the following day I went into the location that I purchased from and requested resolution. I was simply told the vendor is closed on Saturdays. Once I pushed a little more, the order number was marked in their system and noted that I would need to call again on Monday to arrange for a new delivery. I texted again 9:30am today, had heard nothing back until 3:45pm.

    At that point my husband had already gone into the store again to follow up, having the vendor disconnect his and the representatives attempts at solution 3x. At 3:45pm, I was on hold on another line waiting for customer service to pick up once I received a text back- because I didn’t respond immediately I was told that I had become unresponsive and that my text thread was being deleted. I responded by the 15 mins mark!! This was after waiting hours— really, waiting days for any kind of response from them!! This is a complete mess and Home Depot should be ashamed of the way their customer service is being managed. I spend a significant amount of money there, and should not have to be the one orchestrating a solution, let alone being treated with sick little concern.

    I was notified that they take the money and notify that your item is shipped when they create a shipping label, but not when they ship the product and they weren't sure what the third party vendor's delay was. I was placed on hold and the agent said the vendor is not available and they do not know where the product is. I requested the order to be canceled so we will see if my money is returned in a timely matter. Through the whole process, the excuse has been Covid 19.

    I went to Home Depot to get a quote on replacing two 50 Gallon Water Heaters. I was given a sales pitch and told many reasons why I should buy from Home Depot. One of the main selling points was that they worked with fully vetted installation contractors. These “Home Depot Approved” contractors were marketed to me as: fully licensed, insured and that they warrantied their work. My experience was quite the opposite.

    It is standard procedure in my town that a City Inspector comes in behind the installer to make sure the work adheres to code. When the Inspector arrived, I was immediately informed that the plumber sent by Home Depot was not licensed. Upon inspection of the work performed, the inspector told me the installation did not meet city code. I received a red tag fail on my home – a picture is available. There can be no dispute that substandard work was performed by an unlicensed plumber.

    I called the plumber, who tried to “BS” their way out of the situation. I then called Home Depot who made excuses as to what happened. I had to file a complaint to Customer Service at Home Depot HQ before remediation was finally completed and the city inspection was finally passed. My issues are:

    1) I was clearly told by Home Depot that a licensed plumber would complete the install and my home would pass inspection. This was a falsehood and clearly not the case.
    2) The plumber would not act to rectify the issue until I had to contact Home Depot. This further shows the warranty relatively useless and is not as the language in the Home Depot contract states.

    3) I find Home Deport sales tactics to be deceptive and a violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act as does two attorneys that have reviewed the matter.

    So, future Home Depot consumers, please be aware of this matter and make your choices accordingly.

Home Depot contracts with a third party to carry out the deliveries. Apparently this third party has no interest in customer service and Home Depot is okay with that.

    When getting lumber supplies from this store, you're far better off going in a choosing it yourself. When ordering it online, having it delivered or store pick up, they must give you the crappiest pieces of warped, broken pieces that they have in stock. Time to shop at Lowe's from now on. I have lost faith in this store since this is not my first time experiencing this problem. Extremely disappointed in the quality that Home depot supplies.

    I bought a dishwasher from Home Depot and wanted them to install it. When the dishwasher was delivered on 03/11/2020 the delivery people said that they aren't going to install it. After talking with them they called their supervisor, they were told there would not be enough time. Then they looked at the shut off valve and said it's corroded and they can't. I then went and turned off the valve myself. So, I refused delivery. Called Home Depot and asked if there would be a problem of getting my money back. They said no problem. but when I arrived at the Home Depot, they could not. This used to be my favorite store, but now it has become like Sears. They mess-up the door I ordered last year and the refrigerator.

    Recently installed a Kohler kitchen sink to discover a dent on the left side. The sink strainer was missing as well on the right side. Since the sink was installed and cutting was involved we decided to keep it and ran out to buy the strainer. I went to customer service to explain the dilemma, the girl acted like she had no idea what I was talking about, so I left and decided to email Home Depot with a picture of the dent, and photos of the receipt for the sink and the drain. When I didn't hear back, I emailed Kohler with the same information and concern. Not a word back. Disappointed in quality of product as well as quality of service at Home Depot in Naples Florida. Can't say we won't be back as they are the only game in town. Unfortunately, it appears they feel like they don't have to provide service.

    I purchased LG washer and dryer along with extended warranty from the Home Depot in Burnaby, BC., Canada back in 2018. After my dryer stopped working after a few spins. I called the extended warranty company with no response. After a few tries, they sent an LG repair man who just stood by the dryer and left after. I was shocked and called the Home Depot to look into this matter. I may have made over 10 calls and finally a tech from another service company came and repaired the dryer. The Home Depot manager handed me a $280 gift card just to get over with the issue.

    Soon after a month, the dryer again started to cause the same issue. Calling after calling no response and again the same repair man came and fixed the issue. I made a promise to myself never ever again buy from the Home Depot who don’t care about their customers. “DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, THEY DON’T CARE AND DON’T KNOW WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS”.

    My husband needed shop lights. We found those by ourselves. Then we walked through the shelving aisle and he saw a workbench that was out of stock, but that he was really interested in purchasing. He was hoping to buy the floor model. No one was available to assist, so he asked the associate in the adjacent paint department for assistance. That employee said he would page the shelving department employee to come see us. We waited for probably 15 minutes before my husband wandered again to the paint department, when he again asked for assistance. The paint department employee then said that he would contact him again. We waited for another 10 minutes before my husband asked a THIRD TIME.

    The paint department employee then said he would call for the manager to come help. We waited for another 10 minutes and not a single employee came through that aisle. Even I was becoming impatient at this point. I sat down on the lowest shelf (my back was hurting by then), and I called the store we were in (Altoona, Pennsylvania). I asked for the shelving department. I spoke with the shelving employee directly and told him that we had been waiting for well over 40 minutes. He said that he was with a customer and had never been paged. (This may have been true, as I never heard anything.) At any rate, he said he would be right over. We waited another 5 minutes and when no one came again, we left.

    As we left, my husband was given a hard time purchasing the items he still wanted, even after presenting his veteran status identification, since he was told his veteran status and discount only counted on holidays. After explaining our awful shopping experience, the cashier reluctantly granted the discount anyway. This was the single worst shopping experience we have ever had at a hardware store. (Home Depot's competitors offer veterans' discounts every day.)

    I'm home for a very short time due to being on leave with the military. With that being said, my time is very important to me. I came to the Home Depot on North parkway in Huntsville, Alabama to purchase a grill. I asked for help because the grill I wanted was on the highest shelf in the store, wrapped, and tied up. After asking for help, I was told that someone would be with me in a minute. Keep in mind it was 8 PM on a Saturday and was not busy are all. I waited around 30 minutes for someone to help. Finally, someone who I thought was helping came over. The girl who called for help asked this employee if he could help a customer with a grill. The employee said no. I'm not sure if he was joking or not but he kept walking. At this time, it has been almost 40 minutes. I then, went to the aisle and my girlfriend was on an employee ladder attempting to get the grill down herself. That is how terrible the service was.

    Finally while we were on the employee ladder doing it ourselves, an employee came to help. While checking out, the girl told us she would discount it for our trouble. She gave me a 10% discount. I then showed her my military ID and she said I could not get a military discount because she gave me a discount for the trouble we had in the store. This is absolutely the worst experience at any store I have ever had. This place is a joke. Do not go there!

    We bought a gas range from the on-line store and were really disappointed in the delivery and set up services. We bought the full installation package for gas stoves, but when the delivery/installation team arrived, they said, "Sorry, you have propane gas, not natural gas, so by law we can't install this." It would have been nice to know this ahead of time. They said they would ask Home Depot to refund the installation service fee--I haven't checked whether this has happened. Then as he was leaving, the delivery man said off-hand that the whole top of the range would need to be re-configured for propane. What??

    I said I didn't want the stove and to please take it back. He dug around and found in all the parts a propane converter kit and said it was easy to install. I reluctantly said okay and he hurried out. My partner, who is a maintenance person by trade, has been working on the conversion for the past 2 hours and says it's extremely challenging. Only once the service men had left did I realize that they tore a 1.5 X 8 foot swath out of our yard while trying to get into the driveway, which had ample room for clean turn.

    I loved my experience with Home Depot sales dept, but the installers were horrible. About a week after they were done installing we saw the crack coming from both seams and we called them back to fix and they told us we had put too much heat on it. Mind you nothing was put on it that was remotely hot enough to cause any damage. Then they said we stood on the counters. We are both older and do not stand on the counters. The Home Depot contract states if you cannot get anywhere with them to call the Contractors Board, well that was useless they told us nobody at Home Depot or SurfaceLink has a license to work on Manufactured Homes but you cannot do anything about that. So after 40 years of waiting for a new kitchen I get one that has two cracks at the seams from shoddy workmanship and everyone says there is nothing I can do. Next stop attornies.

He told me that I was paying for the measuring and those measurements would be mine. I had many rooms measured so I could stagger my purchases according to time and budget. However, when you get to the store, they will not give you access to measurements, we had to wait for someone to roam the store trying to find someone who could work with in flooring. Some random worker tells you to just pick out your product - no help, no guidance on sq footage. When you read many of the installation reviews, it doesn’t inspire confidence when they can’t even give you service before you purchase. Don’t waste your money on the measuring...

    My family and I have shopped and purchased so many things at Home Depot over the last 20 years. Always a good experience. However, in January of this year, I purchased a couple items and then tripped over a sign that was placed on the floor in the aisle. The sign was not affixed to the floor and should not have been placed there. I fell over this sign and broke my wrist. My fall was witnessed by a store employee.

    I filed a claim with the store manager which is the process. The store would pay for my injuries. I was sure, as I fell in their store and they should pay for it. I waited a couple weeks and was contacted by a third party vendor that handles their claims. They asked me for some information and then told me Home Depot would not pay for this but would give me some sort of small cash amount for customer service or something. The third party vendor was extremely rude through this first phone call.

    I followed up this phone call with a letter and stated how much I would have to pay for my insurance deductible and that as I fell in their store, it was witnessed by a store employee, they should paying for it.

    My husband and I recently received some misinformation about buying a new range from a well-meaning employee at a physical Home Depot location. One of the things she told us was that our experience would be the same if we ordered online v. ordering from the professionals in the store (the appliances department was closing for the day when we got there). We ordered a range online and literally everything but the basic delivery went wrong from the start. We are forgiving, and all of that would have been fine except that it turns out to be nearly impossible to get 1) an actual human with answers, or 2) reliable, good answers from Home Depot's online customer service line.

    It took me 4 hours of calling and writing on day 1 to get a single incorrect answer from an actual human. The automated system misdirected and hung up on me several times. When I finally managed to find one actual customer service rep, via text (I could NOT figure out how to reach a real person), she was rude, short, gave me inaccurate information, and cut our interaction off before answering my questions. My husband had the same experience when he returned home from work later that night. In the end, we had to sit on the phone pressing random buttons for an hour or so (truly, none of them correlated to any of the menu options) before we were able to find a real person. He was helpful, but still provided inaccurate information. I spent the evening crying in frustration and just wanting to return the stove.

    This was an expensive purchase that should have felt good to receive. Instead, my husband and I both felt duped and completely disrespected by the company. In the end, I spoke with a woman named Florence at our closest physical Home Depot location. Although she had nothing to do with our order or our problem, she still went out of her way to help us. She was able to get me in contact with a woman named Rosemary who helped us to understand what had happened and to sort out our options. If it weren't for Florence and Rosemary, I'd have called a lawyer.

    I will NEVER, EVER purchase anything from Home Depot online ever again. The administrators responsible for the customer service setup at homedepot.com should be ashamed. Our experience with their online store was truly the worst that either of us has ever had at any store. It's 2020. Online shopping should not be a nightmare. That said, I am grateful for the help I received from Florence (at the Hadley, MA location) and from Rosemary.

    I purchased a dishwasher and paid for installation. First try they said I would have to replace the turn on valves. Paid another $125 and had to wait another week for delivery and installation. Guy came and took screws out of old one which was just 4 years old. They tried to lift it out and said they couldn't get it out because the tile was in the way and said I would have to have someone remove the tile, which had been there for 20 years.

    I told them if they would screw the front legs up and lifted it up it would come out. They told me that wouldn't work and took pictures and sent them to their dispatcher. He even said it looked like it would work. They said no and started to pack up. I told them to wait and I got my ratchet with 3/16 fitting, laid down on the floor and turned the legs up until they cleared the tile. Then I pulled the dishwasher out myself and they disconnected it and installed the new one, which required turning the legs to level it...hummm. They didn't say two more words to me other than to sign here. They left a trail of over a quart of water when taking the old one out. Didn't offer to clean it up.

    I called customer service and tried to file a complaint. The agent that answered was very nice and asked her supervisor, Nichole, if there was anything that could be done. She told the agent to tell me the delivery guys do not have to adjust those legs to remove the dishwasher to remove it. So, NO, there was nothing they could do. End of story.

The online ad clearly stated it was built with tile flange. We got a call just after the order was done from Jose ** from SWCORP the manufacture in Florida. We ordered a right hand drain and was told that model only come in left hand drain. At this point we had not cut our slab for the remodel. I agreed to take the left hand model. About 3 weeks go by and our product is delivered to our shop. I open the box to find the tub that was sent is not designed for a shower surround and there is no built in flange to accept the shower surround sent with the tub.

    I call the manufacture and got a copy the product catalog only to find that that model tub 6 version none have a built in flange. The manufacturer offered to send me an add on flange. This was not a viable resolution. The added flange would allow for a future water intrusion and would not be a unwarrantable product for me to install. I called for a return of the product only to find it would be 5-6 days before the transport company would call me and then it would 3-5 days before a refund is completed. I requested added service. We are a small company and our timeline and budget is limited. I called on the 02/18/2020 around 10:00am central time and spoke to HD service rep and requested a return follow up call. We agreed on a 8:00am call central time for follow. 8:45 am central time after getting no return call I follow up again with HD service.

    I spoke with Anthony to find out there was no call placed to the shipper, there was no follow up call scheduled for 8:00am. I am on the job site with answer for my customer. Anthony called shipping direct and provided a shipping order number and contact phone number. I have been told there will be a call some time the am on the 20th. In the meantime I am now trying to find a product for our customer and expedite shipping and install. I asked what HD will do for to better this with my customer and was told HD will refund my money (at least a 1-2 week delay) and they do not compensate customer for return issues.

    New tub liner and surround. Home Depot informed me that the standard time frame due to the holidays was as far out as 4-6 weeks, but they would put a “rush” on it in case it was possible to do it sooner than that time frame and he made that note specifically in the contract as well. I agreed, in anticipation of either the rush, or the 4-6 weeks worst-case scenario.

    In line with that conversation, and remaining true to what was discussed and agreed upon the contract says on reference/page v 0.1.1.: “Anticipated Delivery Date / Installation Schedule – Approximate Start Date: 4/6 weeks. Approximate Finish Date: 4/6 weeks. All dates are approximate and subject to change based on unforeseen events including inclement weather, permitting delays, and delays in confirming insurance coverage of Your claim for any repair, if applicable.” (which would be November 21 – December 5, 2019).

    On January 4, 2020, my wife and I visited the Home Depot Store in Sylmar, CA to cancel the order since we had not received any status or follow-up regarding the project from Home Depot/Home Services even once since October 28, 2019. Gabriela, the in-store customer support person/floor manager assisted us. She researched the database to determine what happened. She verified that that there were not any notes and nothing was followed up on in the computer nor to us, the customers, and it appeared that no materials were ordered. Someone dropped the ball completely.

    There was no communication with us from Home Depot/Home Services from the day of measuring until we went in-store to cancel. (October 28, 2019 – January 4, 2020). We were not notified of ANY delays or deviations from the original contract. When the in-store customer support researched our order on Saturday, January 4, 2020, she verified while we were still in the store that nothing had been done, and there were not any notes about the work getting started or whether materials were even ordered and it was apparent that no one reached out to us yet. By this time, our tenants were back in the home. She could see our plight. We had to cancel. Gabriela said she needed to handle the matter on Monday since the sales person’s office was closed on the weekend. We discussed that we would get a full refund (credited back to our credit card because we prepaid), but she had to talk to a sales manager and they were closed on the weekend.

    On Monday, January 6, 2020, coincidentally, we received a call from the Home Depot/Home services Mr. ** office, NOT acknowledging or assisting with the next steps of the cancellation which we requested two days prior (in-store). Instead, we received a comment that they are ready to install the tub liner and would like to schedule a date. We are confident that this phone call was the result of our in-store visit due to the complete lack of communication by Home Depot/Home Services up to that point.

    My wife informed the customer service rep from Mr. ** office that we already canceled the order in-store on Saturday, January 4, 2020 and will be receiving a refund. At that point, we were not planning to engage further with Home Depot/Home Services. Shortly thereafter, Yadira from the Home Depot Store called to inform us to speak with Mr. **. We declined. We refused to go toe-to-toe, especially after how we were treated!

    Either Monday or Tuesday evening, Mr. ** phoned our home and spoke to my wife. They argued. He upset her very much since he was adamant that there was a document that I signed called a “Final Affirmation” that supersedes the contract and states a general time frame different date than the contracted time frame for installation and completion of the project. The paper also asked for a specific date, on which the rep wrote 10-12 weeks.

    That paper had a hand-written time frame of 10-12 weeks, which greatly varies from the original contract. No discussion was given about this. Had we known the this, we would NOT have proceeded. (Caps for emphasis). We were never given the option to withdraw since a major element of the contract was being changed unbeknownst to us by slipping it into the fine print area in a document that was after the final contract.

    Mr. ** explained to my wife that when the person came out to measure, he provided a paper to sign to do the work that stated 10-12 weeks and that that superseded the contract that we signed on October 24, 2018. Since we did not recall this paper, we asked him to mail to us on Tuesday if possible. He emailed it on Thursday of the same week. We searched for our copy and saw that I did sign the paper.

    However, the person doing the measuring had us sign a form that showed the scope of work and what was to be done. No discussion whatsoever was had that this paper would have a different time frame than the original contract and nothing was ever said that this new triplicate paper would supersede the contract. However, that is what Mr. ** said over the phone to my wife.

    After that phone call, we reviewed the contract and there is NO mention of a future form called “Final Affirmation” that would supersede the contract and change the time frame of the completion time. It was never our understanding at any time during the course of this contract that the project start and completion time frame was changing from 4-6 (rushed if sooner), to 10 to 12 weeks.

    Item 10 on Page v. 0.1.3. states: “10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement is the final, integrated, and exclusive expression of the parties’ understanding, which supersedes all prior offers, orders, understandings, representations, proposals, confirmations, and negotiations between the parties, whether oral or written. No course of dealing usage of trade, course of performance, course of conduct, or any other evidence of additional or different terms shall be admissible to contradict or vary any term in the Agreement.”

    IF the person bringing this paper for me to sign would have said, no, not 4-6 weeks but the project cannot be completed until 10-12 weeks, I would have not proceeded. I feel bamboozled. I thought the contract was set and all I was doing was signing for the scope of work, NOT a NEW COMPLETION DATE. We did not anticipate someone would slip in a change of a term of the contract. The intention for that measuring meeting was to measure and work in harmony with the already signed contract/agreement.

    Hence, on the actual contract, that clause verifies that contract, and not the “Final Affirmation paper” is final and nothing supersedes it or can be added to it to change any term, such as the date of completion. Also, on the so called, “Final Affirmation” paper, instead of a date for a date format, it was written in by Home Depot/Home the 10-12 weeks. We NEVER, EVER agreed to this nor would we have if we were aware of the new proposed project completion date. This was not discussed, not agreed upon, not negotiated. It was simply added to the fine print on the day of the measure, October 28, 2019.

    Mr. ** said if we cancel, we would need to pay a 35% restocking fee. Home Depot/Home Services, Mr. ** Salesperson completely ignored us for nearly 10 weeks without a single communication or correspondence. No phone calls, no emails, no postal mails. Dead silence. Hence, we visit in-store to cancel. The work was not done in time and now there are people living in the home.

    I would strongly recommend think before you do any purchase with Home Depot. Their return policy sucks big time. If possible buy from Lowe's, they are customer friendly and are very helpful. I bought a shower head online, because of some problems and moving around we couldn't find it on time to return in 90 days. When I tried to return after that the store won't take it because it was bought online and when I called them, they won't help me because it was past 90 days. I didn't even asked them to put it back on my credit card, I was ready to take a store credit or HD gift card.

    I have been searching for a full appliance package for several weeks. Well, today 2/6/2020 I went to www.homedepot.com to look at possible sales. Lo and Behold the very first page was advertising 40% off appliances and when I scrolled down they had 4 appliance suites (packages) for sale. The one that got my attention was a package of 4 Whirlpool appliances (range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator), all stainless steel, for $1,198.00. I immediately took a snapshot of the screen so it would make it easier once I got to the store. I drove almost 2 hours to the closest Home Depot in Knoxville, Tn.

    Once there, I went straight to appliances and waited on a associate. I told him what I was looking to purchase. After a few minutes he went to his computer and the package I wanted was listed for $1,898.00. I showed him my picture and he said he would have to go get a manager. After about 10 minutes a manager came and I explained what was going on. I then showed him my pictures and also the time stamp of the picture. He then told me the picture was irrelevant. In a very smart ass tone he asked me "if I came there to buy a picture of appliances or actual appliances"? That got me a little heated and I flat out told him there was no reason for him to be a smart ass about it. He said he wasn't. Yeah right. He then got on www.homedepot.com and guess what? The package we were talking about was listed for $1,198.00. He then said, "well look there". I said, "yeah I know. Now hopefully you all don't think I'm crazy."

    I thought I was getting somewhere but then he said the Home Depot store is not affiliated with www.homedepot.com. What? Not affiliated. I told him and showed him that the price for the package was not a "Online Only" price but a online and instore price. He said he could not honor the advertised price. He then passed it off on a female associate who called the home depot service line two different times and talked to representatives for www.homedepot.com. She told them the situation and told them that she was looking at the website with the advertised price. Apparently the rep had also pulled up the website and confirmed that she was looking at the same price of $1,198.00 but still refused to honor the price.

    I told the manager that this was just wrong. That I had driven almost 2 hours in very bad weather to purchase appliances that I had been looking for and thought I had found. I told him it felt like a bait and switch/fraud....They said there was nothing they could do. On the way home I called the Home Depot Service line 3 times and each time when I told them what I was calling for I was transferred to the wrong dept and then cut off. Also once I got home I pulled the website up and the appliance package is still listed for $1,198.00 and when you click on it to put in your cart the prices increases to over $2,100.00. I repeat, this is just wrong and fraudulent. Home Depot you need to do better. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars at your stores but no more. Lowe's will have my business from now on. You all handled this debacle in a shameful and deceitful manner.

    I purchased kitchen cabinets from Home Depot. I was told the cabinets were coming from another store. I had asked for them to call to arrange for a specific day and time for them to be delivered. I am disabled and needed to have someone here to bring them inside. They do not bring them in for you. I came home one day to find my sink sitting in the driveway. I was not notified. Next day they called and said they were bringing cabinets. They gave me no option to set up a date. They also left some of kickboards outside my door without knocking or letting me know. When I called they said it was not them, it came from the cabinet company. I ordered from Home Depot.

    We needed a counter depth refrigerator no wider than 33 inches for a small space in my kitchen. This was one of the few we saw that met our requirements. We got the 5 year protection plan with it. We had it for 2 years when it started leaking. After calling and getting “we will get back to you with a repair person” for a week, we got someone to come out. They told us this Samsung refrigerator is known to have problems, he ordered a part and came back 2 weeks later to fix it. Fast forward 4 months later, water was collecting in the crispers and freezing all my vegetables with ice build up under the crispers. Home Depot sent the same repair person, he “fixed” a tube in back and told us if he has to come back again he will deem this a lemon and I can put a claim in for a new refrigerator. 3 weeks later, the same problem.

    I have been fighting with Home Depot to get someone to come back. First they tell me the repair person who came last time is no longer part of Home Depot. Then they set up a repair with a company over 200 miles away. They refused the repair. Home Depot told me that it’s because they didn’t have the date I specified. They gave me another date. I called this repair store and they told me they don’t service my area. I call Home Depot back. By this time I feel I am getting the run around. I told them I wanted my money back and they said under my contract the repair store needed to deem it a lemon AFTER 3 visits on the 4th visit. As I am writing this they are supposed to be looking for a repair shop to fix this. I think that we are going to have to take a loss on this piece of junk and get a new refrigerator. I WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING FROM HOME DEPOT AGAIN! NO APPLIANCES, NOT EVEN A SCREW!!

    Do not buy a appliance from Home Depot.com. They have worst return policy ever. My mom got her washer and dryer on a Saturday she went to use on a Monday and it was making funny noises. We called Home Depot to get it exchanged Tuesday and they keep transferring us and keep sending to the manufacturer. They even hung up on my mother. I called again Thursday and they refused to do anything but refer us to the manufacturer. This is a brand new appliance - never used. We didn’t want money back. We just wanted a simple exchange.

    Home Depot made it so difficult to get it resolved. I would understand if we had it for a while but we had issues on day three of getting it. I will never buy an appliance from Home Depot. The benefit from buying from a chain should be easier service if something is not right - not harder. I have never written a bad review before but I felt this was the worst service I have ever received. We paid full price for the appliance as well and even opened a Home Depot card which I will not use again.

    I had to return an item I had ordered online. The person I spoke to was very helpful and explained the return process. Unfortunately an error was made because I was told to return the open box to the store, and UPS would pick up the other 3 boxes. This started a long stressful saga of trying to get my refund. Apparently the store person refunded me too much for the one box I returned, so the “systems” at Home Depot can’t figure out how to refund the $250 I am still owed. They opted to send me a gift card for the amount, which was not acceptable, because I need the refund to pay off my credit card charge for the items.

    Now when I call them, I just get the runaround. They say their system says I’ve been refunded. I explained that I have not as a gift card will not work for me. I was told a supervisor would call me. I waited until the afternoon of the following day and still no call. So I called. I had to go through the whole story again, finally got connected to a supervisor who talked to me as if I were a child. All she could say was their “system” wouldn’t let them refund me my money and they would send it to IT to see if they could figure it out. My blood is boiling at this point. I apparently have no recourse and am out $250. A gift card will not help me as I will not buy anything ever again at Home Depot, and I still have to pay my credit card bill for the returned items!

    I asked her, "If you can figure out how much to put on a gift card, why is it so difficult to figure out how much to refund to me?" I have never had such an issue with Wayfair or even Amazon. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. All I can do is wait and keep calling back. I refuse to let them keep my money. I'll bet my blood pressure is through the roof, and all I could think of to do was to vent here on this site.

    I purchased their pack online of 6 packs×5 rolls, 3M, electrical, black tape, since we needed it ASAP. First off, their shipping didn't offer expedited on my item, so as it was normally going to arrive, it would already be 2 days after I needed it, but we could make do with what we had. That was fine. I get an e-mail saying it would arrive 2 days later than already expected, Jan 16th was the new date; not the end of the world. Do what you gotta. Then I get an email saying the item arrived, go check. No item. Check the tracking, the item was dropped off in Missouri... I live in Texas! And this was already late!

    Called Home Depot, they call the supplier, supplier had slapped the wrong sticker on it, and there goes my order. AWESOME. So now, we're crazy low on our most needed supply as electricians, and someone in Missouri has a fresh pack of 30+ electrical tape. On the house. The rep told me he'd spoken with Mark and they would post my package ASAP, and Mark would be in touch. That was the 17th. 20th I call because I hadn't heard anything, Mark is not in, package is STILL not sent, and in the meantime we're running to Home Depot to resupply our tape, so they get double my money.

    Called the following day, same song. Called again TODAY Jan 22nd, and the rep informs me that by their notes my package WAS indeed resent, TO THE SAME ADDRESS IN MISSOURI, and Mark is still, miraculously missing. I do NOT understand what kind of discount supplier Home Depot is using, but someone is not communicating something somewhere, and I've run out of time for this project.

    I ask how I need to go about to get a refund and the Home Depot rep informs me that per policy, since the item has been "delivered" (to the wrong address, mind you, TWICE) that there is NOTHING they can do for me, so I need to call the bank and have them dispute this on my behalf. And meanwhile, well, we get more tape from Home Depot, because what other options do I have out where this project is? I am not bashing on the reps, they do what they can, but I am writing against Home Depot and their incompetent suppliers, their garbage online service, and most importantly on their unwillingness to fix the messes they allow. I have contacted my bank, and hopefully, sometime this year Mark finally reaches out to me and tells me why there's someone in Missouri with free electrical tape.

    To cut costs, I live in a fully insulated, four-season Keystone Montana. Unfortunately, my dual propane regulator went out and I realized I was without heat, hot water or cooking abilities. In order to save costs and NOT hire someone I didn't know, I figured I'd order online and go get the part. I went to the Home Depot website, found my regulator, checked to make sure it was AVAILABLE AND SHOWING THAT IT WAS ON SITE AND IN THE STORE. I ordered and paid for it, then drove down to pick it up.

    I was met with Johnathon who informed me the item was NOT in their store and that it would be 7 days before it arrived, because it was a "special order". He had not response when I informed him the regulator showed that it was already there. I told him I needed to cancel and he promptly informed me I could not cancel UNTIL the order arrived on location. I was not happy but what could I do? "So you'll call then when the part comes in?" I asked. "Yes, we'll call you when it arrives".

    On January 13th I got online and tracked my package, it had changed the arrival date from Jan 15th to January 14th. I was relieved and waited for the call. It never came. Due to my work schedule, I was finally able to drive out on the 17th. No call had come in yet. I had tried to call their store but was redirected to the wrong department and sat on hold for 10 minutes before hanging up. I was told to go to Customer Service and talk to Johnathon. I reminded him I had ordered a part that was supposed to be in the store, only to find out it was a "special order" and I had to wait 7 days. I then informed him I wanted to know what was going on, since I had NOT received a call and it was now three days AFTER it was supposed to arrive.

    Johnathon said, "Let me call UPS and find out what's going on". I waited. There was a customer four feet from me so I tried not to raise my voice when Johnathon got of the phone, told me the package was on a "hold" where it was and something about UPS thinking the store was closed. I was incredulous, "So you're saying that it's now been nine days and no one knows WHEN I'll get it and I can't cancel until it arrives?" Johnathon looked at me and said, "well why don't you just cancel it?" I assure you, if there wasn't another customer standing a few feet away, I would have lost it. For some stupid reason, not wanting to EMBARRASS HIM, I said to Johnathon, "BECAUSE SOMEONE told me I had to WAIT UNTIL IT ARRIVED!". He didn't even blink, just casually said he'd call me them in about an hour after they "investigated" and called him back.

    Today is the 20th of January: 12 days after my order was paid for and shipped. I called Home Depot in Red Bluff AGAIN. This time requesting a manager. A guy named Frank answers. I explain my situation. He seems concerned, says he'll call me in "about a half hour" but that he's going to call around and find out if he can remedy things. Four hours later-no call. So I call back, explain to the same lady who forwarded me last time, that I needed Frank again. She says, "Oh, well he's gone for the day. "IS THERE A MANAGER THAT OVERSEES THE ENTIRE STORE THEN? I NEED TO TALK TO HIM" I say, not very nicely. She stammers, "Oh, um. We're kind of between managers right now. We don't have one right now".

    I finally called UPS 10 minutes ago and they cancelled the order for me since there was no option for that online. For the Love of God, don't order online at Home Depot! Their platform won't tell you correct information nor will anyone care to call you back or stand behind their erroneous info! JFYI??

Today (1/13) they call me and tell me that my pickup is scheduled for my washer and dryer, I did not request for a pick up. I requested for a replacement. When talking to the delivery company a HD employee by the name of Demetra cancelled the replacement. I SPOKE TO NO ONE ON THE 10TH. So I do not know how my unit got cancelled. Now I have to wait until the 16th for my replacement washer. 20 days after the initial purchase.

I have no clean clothes and work very long hours, when I get out of work the laundry centers are closed and I go in before they open.

    Recently, I needed a new boiler as my heat source. Mine had died. I decided that I needed estimates. There were several contractors I would not even consider. One charged me $100 to look at the old boiler and give me an estimate. One spoke to me on the phone and told me that he could give a wonderful deal. He did not tell me what he would replace my boiler with (BTUs, type, size, what else was needed). He did not even come to my home to see my home's square feet or my basement.

    So, I was down to three contractors. One was Home Depot. I have purchased from Home Depot for many, many years. The Home Depot contractor gave me the highest priced quote for the least. The boiler he was going to install was 59,000 btus with a 5 year warranty. The other contractors who gave me estimates quoted good quality, high efficiency 80,000 btus or 105,000 btus boilers. They, also, gave longer warranties, as long as ten years. One would even give me one year of free service. So, the Home Depot quote was one of the worst for the highest cost.

    I contacted Home Depot Customer Service by email. A man from Resolution Expediter-Services, wrote back to me and said: "I received your email regarding the quote for an installation of a Boiler. Home Depot prices are very competitive based on market pricing. We do stand behind our work 100%. I apologized for the dissatisfaction."

    I hate to tell him that the other contractors stand behind their work as well. Home Depot's quote was a sham. So much for resolution or satisfaction. To me, his answer was too bad, so sad, goodbye. Now I have a different viewpoint of Home Depot. I don't trust them and will not shop with them again. There is always Lowe's. The two companies are so similar that there is no major difference between the two.

After my husband had tried several different suggestions from the customer service rep, he gave us a complaint number and said we would hear from a technician within 3 days to let us know when they could come out to repair it. We waited and no one called. On December 20th 2019 we called back and were told that they do not ‘fix’ Christmas Trees so our complaint would be sent to a different department to decide whether they would replace or refund the tree. 5 days from Christmas and no tree lights!

    On Christmas Eve we were told that a refund Home Depot gift card would be emailed to us within 3-5 days. As it was Christmas and New Year, We waited until yesterday, January 6th 2020 to call back, as we still had not received anything. We were told ‘oh it’s been sent to the wrong email address. It will be rectified and you will have it within 24 hours’. Nothing came, we just called back today and spoke with a very rude young lady in HD customer service who really could not give a damn and suggested it was our fault that they sent the refund to the wrong email address???? Seriously, and we had to wait another 48 hours to complain. I said, "No, give me your supervisor."

    The supervisor, Joyce, came on the phone and after several minutes with us explaining this has been going on way too long and that they had made the mistake sending the refund to the wrong email originally, then supposedly sending it yesterday to the correct one, yet it still had not come.... Joyce said, ‘oh it looks like they just resent the gift card to the same wrong email address.’ We could not believe it. They really employ some useless people who do not care about the customers. Joyce told us she would re-issue the gift card herself and repeated our correct email to us. So now we have another 24-72 hours to wait to see if the gift card refund arrived. We are done with Home Depot. Lowe’s has always treated us well, so that’s where we will go from now on. We are also closing our HD credit card.

    My wife and I have spent over $100,000 at Home Depot over the last 25 years. Built and remodeled 4 homes. Can't ever remember any issues. 6 days ago we bought a $780 snowblower from Home Depot. The Reverse gears don't work. We've tried talking to the assistant manager and store manager with no resolution. We asked for a call from the regional director 5 days ago and still no call. We were told he is too important and busy. We are in the process of building a $400,000 house. Home Depot will never see another dime from us ever again. Unbelievable piss poor customer service from a long term customer that's spent a ton of money at their stores...

    I like Home Depot in general but I tried to contact someone online and it is Impossible. I tried on the phone and they also make it very hard to contact someone. I usually only contact them for someone to answer my questions because the automated service can never answer what I call/go online for. It seems like a huge impossible wall to get through for help. At least when I deal with their competitor I can get a human to answer my questions.

    I was shopping for an Air Compressor and went to the local Home Depot close to me in Apex, NC. They were sold out (was on sale). They told me it was available at the store in Durham. I drove all the way to Durham (30-minute drive) only to learn that it was not the same price. Apparently, Home Depot has sales specific to locations. Understanding that I had come all the way from Apex just for this item, Elvin, the sales associate made it right by adjusting the price to match that of the Apex location.

    Delivery experience was terrible. Freight Rite is BAD! My fridge died two days before Christmas. Could not get it delivered until the following Tuesday. The delivery people called the evening of the delivery saying they couldn't deliver it because of the hours worked or some bogus excuse. It was New Year's Eve, and I think they just didn't want to work late. So it was to be Friday. They call on Friday morning saying "their truck is too full" and they cannot deliver it that day. Say they will deliver Saturday, but would not give me a time! I canceled my order.

    They advertised one price for a storage cabinet on their website ($169.00) but when I went to the store to purchase the item the price was higher ($204.00). The price on their website that day and for several days after remained at $169.00. Their in-store Customer Service Department had no legitimate answer as to why this was and really could have cared less. I also received no response to an e-mail I sent Home Depot regarding this issue.

    I asked to return a metal building to purchase a bigger one and they said ok, the purchase was made with a gift card and the bill was $1308. When I asked for the return they told me I would receive a email in regards to the gift card money being returned, it has been 3 weeks and no money and I have been given 5 different stories including I would receive a new card in the mail. I have spent a lot of money at Home depot including granite countertops and new flooring throughout one of my homes. Pretty sad when they do something like this over $1308 when I would have spent 5-10 times that over a period for my homes. Lowe's here I come and my lawyer will be contacting them and I will get my money back. No stars but I have to for some dumb reason as not all companies deserve them obviously.

    On 11/29/19, my vehicle was damaged at a Home Depot store at 1220 Route 300 Newburg, NY 12550. I was purchasing carpet installation with a consultant. I returned to my car approx at 1:45 PM to find the damages. Upon my return, there was no vehicle to the right of me where damages occurred. I solicited the help of a store manager Lynn ** who took report of the damages and my contact information. She agreed to file a claim with Home Depot's insurance company.

    2 weeks later I received a call from Alan ** from Sedgwick, the claim examiner. Alan called me on 12/30/19 with his conclusion: "you were at the wrong place at the wrong time" and explained there is nothing he can do for me. I asked him to share details of his investigation with me and he adamantly declined. He declined to share what he learned from camera footage he had allegedly reviewed. I asked if he could kindly consider monetary compensation of any amount for such a terrible experience to help with the damages but he declined.

    Later that afternoon, on 12/30/19, I contacted Customer Care to speak on such horrible store experience. I spoke with Elizabeth at Customer Care who said the best she could do was send an email to the local store manager where the damages occurred to see "what he could do for you, if anything." I am in disbelief that customer care would respond to a customer in that manner and I am more at awe at the lack of good customer service. No one tried to offer me a solution that would at the least help Home Depot keep my business and no effort was taken to help satisfy or comfort me after such a terrible experience. It is clear that Home Depot does not take customer care seriously on any level of management.

    AFter sewer problems, Roto-rooter restoration finished their work cleaning up an left 15 minutes before Home Depot showed up with my new washer and dryer. Roto Rooter had left the un-damaged carpet clean and dry, despite having to power wash tiled areas and clean many surfaces with an anti-microbial solution to remove the remains of sewage from my home. They also worked for about eight hours and removed damaged drywall, trim, and insulation in addition to the toilet paper and body waste that had washed up from the sewer.

    When Home Depot showed up, they managed to spill water on the recently dried area and tracked mud through the rooms they walked through, making all the care that Roto Rooter had taken all but pointless. I'm very disappointed that I paid money to have these jerks come in and mess up my home. If I could do it again, I would have happily paid more for the same appliances from a vendor that respect my home. If I could, I would have submitted this with no stars.

    I would give them 3 stars for an “in store” service rating, but frankly I couldn’t be more dismayed by Home Depot's delivery/installation rules. I'm just a renter and have a background in construction, wiring and plumbing on my resume. The installers barely spoke English to start, in Virginia that barely makes sense, but to get to the point they told me immediately that Home depot doesn’t install dishwashers on copper or PVC pipes. Thats like 90% of american homes. I told them just to take that thing back to Roanoke an hour away then. Called the property manager they said the same. If you buy an appliance from them don’t waste your time or money paying for installation. There is about a 5% chance they could install your toaster.

    I recently purchased a range from Homedepot.com. All went well except I was overcharged on sales tax. I live just outside the city limits of Cottonwood AZ. The sales tax rate in the city is 9.85% while in unincorporated areas of Yavapai county it's 6.35%. Home Depot apparently uses low quality tax software and I only get the run around from customer service via email, text, or telephone. As a result I have paid over $50 in excess tax and I assume it's going to the wrong jurisdiction as well. Every other online retailer I have used gets the tax right, including Lowe's.

    I placed an order for a custom made bi-fold closet door 63 X 76.25 (finished)), in Home Depot, Livermore, CA. When I installed the doors I noticed there was a 1 inch gap between the 2 doors (which looks horrible). I measured the doors, and to my surprise they were 62 X 76.27 (1 inc smaller). I contacted Home Depot, talked to 2 managers, Lisa ** and Rohnda, both of them told me that's the way they are supposed to look (ah?) "the reason there is a 1 inch gap in the center is due to the fact that there should be 1/4 inch gap between all four doors that equal the 1 inch gap". I was never informed if I order a custom door with specif measurements the final product was going to be smaller than requested... It doesn't make sense.

    I watched all the tutorials posted on Homedepot.com on how to measure from wall to wall (not the actual doors) and I followed all their instructions. I also placed the order in person, with an "expert" at the doors department and I was never informed I needed to increase the width to allow for the hardware; never was I told to expect a 1 inch gap in the middle of my doors. I'm extremely disappointed. I have been fighting with Home Depot for over a month with no resolution. My kitchen closet doors look literally like crap (not like custom ordered) and it sounds like Home Depot is not willing to issue a refund. What part of the custom order am I missing?

    This review is not regarding the appliances but is in reference to my experience with a $4000 OnLine order. I purchase an electric stovetop and double wall oven. I added on Haul Away and a 3 year protection plan. First, my scheduled delivery was canceled the night before two times. After the 2nd time I called the delivery department who called the brand customer service and basically they could not assure that the next scheduled delivery would actually be made. So, I crossed my fingers.

    Surprise! The delivery made it. I was so excited to see the truck pull up. Well, to my surprise the Haul Away service that I paid for required the appliances to already be disconnected and just sitting waiting to be removed. Secondly, the delivery company did not install. Apparently for "certain" appliances, the buyer must purchase a separate Installation Service. Mind you, there is NO OPTION TO SELECT THIS WHEN PURCHASING. You must click on a totally different tab...Why would I do this? How do I know that the appliance I am purchasing requires this when not all others do?

    Well, the driver and I try calling customer service to see how to quickly resolve my issue and could NEVER GET A REAL PERSON ON THE ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER. I proceed to call my local Home Depot's Major Appliance Department. Well, remember the call I made to them about my canceled deliveries issue; the same helpful employee now wanted to wash her hands of Home Depot OnLine but wanted to sell me their Installation Service. NO THANK YOU HOME DEPOT!! I did not take delivery of my items and canceled the order. I will be purchasing from another RETAILER.

    We purchased carpet and installation from Home Depot on 11/10/19. We were told it would be 2 weeks before we could have this installed. The estimators determined that there would be an extra charge to move our large furniture. We paid this up-charge. On 12/12/19, over a month later, our appointment for carpet installation had finally arrived. We had followed all the instructions that were sent to us in a video in preparation for the install. My husband took a day off. The one installer arrived and was not able to move the furniture by himself and his boss - over the phone- was asking for the homeowner to help move the furniture. What??

    Why did we pay extra for the installers to move the furniture? Then the install company tried to say that we were supposed to remove all items from the dresser drawers. This was not indicated on the video that was sent to us by Home Depot that explained everything that we needed to do. We ended up cancelling the entire order due to this miserable, extremely frustrating, disappointing experience and will never purchase anything from Home Depot Services again.
