The only problem at my store is some of the staff arent friendly and very unfriendly. They never smile. Dont get me wrong. They're eager to do their job. Just smile sometimes. Maybe it will make their day a little easier or faster.

Home Depot has always been a dependable home supplies retailer. If you can't find something at the other retailers, you'll most likely find it at a Home Depot. Prices are reasonable (not cheap) and customer service is above average, provided you look for it.

I ordered Closet Maid shelves twice from Home Depot and failed to receive delivery of all that I had ordred both times. I contacted customer service on the first order and they processed a return for the item I did not receive and was able to order the missing item and received delivery of it two weeks after my initial order. I did not receive delivery of one item on my second order and the customer service representative told me to contact UPS even though the tracking information showed that Home Depot never delivered the item to UPS.
The customer order person also told me that Home Depot provides home delivery as a courtesy to the customer and the customer is responsible for contacting UPS (even though Home Depot never sent this item to UPS). I was disconnected by the second customer service representative when she tried to take my order because I did not want to contact Home Depot again to do away with the shipping cost after ordering direct because the missing item is under the $46 free shipping requirement. I have decided to avoid ordering anything from Home Depot again because they did not perform to my expectations on both my orders.

I hired (and paid in advance) Home Depot Interiors to install new countertops in my kitchen and two bathrooms. They came out to my home on February 23. Ever since they had my money they ghosted me, and only responded when I threatened to get an attorney a few months ago. On April 15th they then tried to blame the pandemic but, the ghosting and lack of communication started almost immediately after I paid them back in February, before the pandemic. When I finally got a response, I got all kinds of excuses, like the guy who was handling my job just had a baby and he had "baby brain" (I later found out that his baby was not a newborn), then he went on late paternity leave and then didn't leave any notes in the system so no one knew the status of my job. I was told that they would be in touch me and keep me informed. I didn't hear anything so on May 28th I reached out.
On May 29th I was told I would get a call, which I never got so I called and was told that the countertops would be installed on June 22nd. On June first I got a call from the installers asking what kind of sink I had ordered. I was not sure of the name of it since The Home Depot was supposed to be handling all of this. The installer said that THD did not give them any information on the sink, and that they would have to reach out to them. Before we hung up I asked the installer to confirm the June 22nd installation date. The installer told me that he does not know where THD got the June 22nd date from because they never told them a date. The installer told me that it would most likely be the week of June 15th - 19th, and that they would call me the week before to give me the specific date.
The installer said that I needed my bathroom vanity mirrors removed before the installers come because they can't install the countertops if the mirrors are still there. The week before the 15th I reached out to the installer numerous times to find out if they would be coming the week of the 15th. Each time I was on hold for about 45 minutes, and when I spoke to someone they told me they would have to find out and call me back. No one would ever call me back. I spoke to three different people that week, and never got a return phone call. I didn't know whether to get my vanity mirrors removed or not but I didn't want them to call at the last minute to say they were coming and then not be able to install the countertops because I hadn't gotten the mirrors removed, so I hired a handyman to remove the mirrors. I received no return call from them so was then living without mirrors in my bathrooms.
On June 19th I got a call saying they would install the new countertops on the 25th. On the 25th they showed up and took out my old countertops. I had ordered eased edges (very square). I had also ordered one quartz for the kitchen and a different quartz for the two bathrooms. They came in with the bathroom countertops and it was not the quartz I had ordered and paid for. I called THD and they said to have them install them since they had already taken out my old ones and I will have the choice of getting them out there again to do it right or I will be compensated $700-1000. Then when they brought in the kitchen countertops the countertops were very rounded and not eased like I had ordered. The round edges stick out very far over the end of my drawers. Also, the four inch strip that went under my bar area/behind my sink was supposed to stop at the end of the bar but they took it all the way to the wall so it looks weird.
I called THD again and they said I could either be compensated $500 or they could re-do it and to let them install. The installers left my house a mess, left trash boxes and trash all over the place. My refrigerator was covered in a white powder. They left water sitting on the floor of my cabinets where they disconnected the pipes and used a decorative towel that was a gift to wipe something and it was all stained and soaked from sitting under my sink in a puddle of water. I told THD I don't want them in my house again and I just wanted the compensation. I got a call from someone one at THD (I wish I had written down his name) on Wednesday July 1st who told me he would call me the next day with the exact amount of compensation. I never heard from him again. I then texted the guy I had been speaking with and he texted back that they would give me $1000 for all of the mistakes. I told him, that was less than I was originally told.
I was originally told %500 for the kitchen (which I accepted) and $700-1000 for the bathrooms. I told him I at least want the minimum of what I was originally quoted. The guy that I had been speaking with said that he is relaying my information to "Russ" and that Russ will be calling me. Russ never did. I called him but he didn't answer and didn't return my call. The guy I had been speaking to apologized and said all he can do is forward my message. I then asked the guy I had been speaking who Russ's manager was, and he never responded. So now I have been totally ghosted by Home Depot Interiors. My countertops are wrong and they will not compensate me for the incorrect and shoddy work.

I ordered some garden items to pick up at my local Home Depot using the curbside pick up option so I didn’t have to go in the store. I received a message when my order was ready to pickup. I went to the store and there were special parking spots for me to park. I texted the number on the sign and entered my car model and color and they brought my items right out. A few of the items were large. They put it right in my trunk for me. I was very satisfied with the service.

Purchased a package of 6 "Everbilt" sheet metal screws (805831) #10 x 1 1/2 inch. These are awful. They are hex head. I wanted hex head because I need to torque them in pretty hard. Well the heads are rounded! What the heck. They're not supposed to be rounded. I never thought to look inside the little plastic bag. Rounded hex heads! So I used them, but every time I tried to tighten hard, the socket twisted off because the heads are rounded. You must be kidding. I've checked this same item at Lowes and Menards. Guess what, the hex heads are NOT rounded. Last time I shop Home Depot. Of course, they are made in China. I can't believe Home Depot would sell such shoddy merchandise. Shame on Home Depot.

I ordered a faucet. They shipped it with the box all messed up and banged up. They had to tape the box up just to hold it together. I posted a review on their site with pictures and they emailed me to tell me it didnt fit in their online posting guidelines. What I wrote here was exactly what I wrote along with pictures. I questioned how it didnt fit into their guidelines. I never received a response. I believe people need to know that when they order online it might come all mangled like mine. Very unprofessional.

I ordered a $1200 bathroom vanity on 5/7/20 with a delivery date of mid May. Here we are 7/13/20, no vanity. During this time I have made numerous calls to Home Depot who blamed it on the logistics company and ultimately had me cancel and reorder the product which I did with yet another 2 week ETA for delivery. Over a month later, still nothing. Now it's the blame game. The logistics company says they have the cabinet and are waiting for another item.
I ONLY ORDERED ONE ITEM. So now they're saying it comes in 2 pieces but they don't know where the second piece is. The standard response is, "You'll know something in 24-48 hours." NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO ORDER IT AGAIN! NO WAY IN THE WORLD AM I DOING THAT. They cannot offer any solutions. UNACCEPTABLE. Home Depot is quick to charge your card for large items but all correspondence to you regarding delivery dates is inaccurate. I understand shipping delays but 2 months??? Please note this is an in stock item not a custom item. I have verified this directly with Home Depot.

Home Depot, I have been shopping at Home Depot for over 30 years in several different states and two counties, they always seem to have what I need at a fair price. Finding help when needed is not always easy but when you do they seem to have the knowledge of the department items I'm needing help in. I like the parking arrangements i.e. defecated Spots for Pro desk and for vehicles pulling trailers. This is really helpful when I pull my small trailer for pick up. Selection: selection of items is great, if I am shopping for garden and yard tools or plants and supplies they have it, or carpentry tools and materials they have it, or plumbing, electrical, flooring home appliance and furnishings i.e. window covers also windows and doors, you name it if you're fixing up your house, shop or out buildings.

Recently bought a Ryobi 2000 PSI Pressure washer from Home Depot in Forked River, NJ. I love it. My husband came home first with a Ryobi gas one 2300 psi and it was way to powerful for me to comfortably use, so I went back and exchanged it for the 2000 psi electric and I was much more satisfied! Easy roll up with handle, only complaint when you use the wheel to roll up the hose it takes that shape and I am noticing over time if you don’t twist out the loops you get some kinks which kind of stinks. But all in all I have power washed my whole house, the garbage cans, I even use it to wash my car???? Well worth the money!

Placed the order over a month ago. Expecting a refrigerator and dishwasher delivery today. Notified yesterday that it wasn't coming to late August. Did Home Depot have this information and didn't share it due to loss of sale? Is this best practice when a customer is counting on a refrigerator/dishwasher moving into a new home? Should Home Depot have called two weeks ago to explain there would be a delay? Poor communication, poor customer service, poor best practices in place. I will not be back and feel very disappointed with the lack of caring about it when I called and got a person who was not helpful and could care less. Dr. Eileen **

I used to love Home Depot. When I lived in Santa Cruz CA I couldn't wait til we got one. At the time the closest one was over the hill in San Jose and that was just too far to drive unless you really needed something that only they would have. Then we got one, and I hardly ever went there. There was just too much, it was impossible to find things, much less find a Customer Service person to help you. I started going to the place with the "Helpful Hardware Man". It felt more like I was supporting a locally owned business versus a big chain that had stopped caring about its customers. I fell out of love with Home Depot.

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’m not an avid home improver but Home Depot always seems to have what I’m looking for and if I have trouble finding it the staff is always incredibly helpful. They seem to have a nice selection of appliances and paints. I wish the one near me had gardening supplies year round as I do have houseplants but that’s okay.

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 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.

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.

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.

I also mentioned that their website search function does not work too well and finds completely unrelated things.

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.

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.

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.

First time I ordered lawn mower and after one month of wait my shipment was lost. 2nd time it was refrigerator and wrong refrigerator was shipped....it seems that HD is on a mission to spread Corona Virus as delivery people were not wearing the mask and fuming all over inside the house and walking here and there with long breaths....I am really scared now. On confronting them for this, their reply was, "As lockdown is opened our guys are not required to wear the mask." So folks be careful, I won't be relying on HD ever again and shopping from them. They have no sense of social responsibility.

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 ordered a fridge and microwave from them. Delivery guys show up and call their company to call me to say they cannot make it down my driveway. I walk up the drive, and the driver tells me they can't because a limb might damage the truck lights. I tell them that a moving van much larger than their truck was just down the driveway. I also have a cement mixer, a dump truck and a semi tow truck down the drive recently. They leave. I call carrier and the lady I speak to looks at pictures they send and says she does know why they could not. Never hear back from her.
I call Home Depot and they tell me it has been rescheduled for Wednesday. 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. Amazon just delivered a package to my door, so I guess I will use them.

On 18 April 2020, I ordered a Ryobi Riding mower from Home Depot. Anyone can research these, they're expensive. Within a day or two I received an email stating this was back-ordered, I accepted this as the COVID issue likely causes problems. By early May I hadn't heard any more. When I looked up my order online, it wasn't there. So I called customer service on 4 May. They saw there was an issue and promised to resolve it and get back to me within 24h.
On 6 May after not hearing back, I called again. They were pleasant and escalated the problem to resolve. On 14 May I finally received notice that it had been shipped. 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." No-one has contacted me about this, I've had to do all the work here and now 6 weeks after ordering, I am no closer to receiving what I've paid for.

I ordered a shower on 5/11/2020, I was told that the unit would be delivered no later than 5/21/2020 due to the COVID-19. Ok, I got that, perfectly fine. Order stays online confirmed a date of 5/21/2020 right up to that day. 5/22/2020 comes, no shower... Also no call or email as to why. So I lost a day at work on 5/21. I call customer service, after being on hold for 53 minutes, I talk to customer service, very nice woman, very polite. So she states the carrier is way behind and it will be another week. UNACCEPTABLE, I hired a contractor and had set dates. So the next week comes. Still no shower. I call customer service, on hold 58 minutes. Comes on, can’t figure out where my product is. Whatever company they ship with takes 24-48 hours to respond he said. Asked for a discount, nope, they can’t do that at this time. I will never order from them again.

I will NEVER shop Home Depot online again! 1st, they delivered only part of my order. 2nd, one item they delivered was incorrect. 3rd, I then got an email saying my *entire* order had been delivered (and was billed for the full order). 4th, come to find out that the delivery guy, whom I'm now regretting tipping, apparently *forged my name* on the delivery receipt--I was home for the delivery and talked with him for 15 minutes, and at the end even asked him if I needed to sign anything and he said no! 5th, Home Depot has *TERRIBLE* customer service! Literally ***the worst I've ever dealt with in my life***. I've called well over a dozen times--no exaggeration--and been on hold for 45+ minutes at a stretch. The first rep who answered immediately told me she couldn't help me and I needed to contact the local store, and then just transferred me to the customer survey!
I contacted the local store. The rep who (finally) answered took down all the information and said I'd get the rest of the delivery the next day. That was 3 days ago. Today, so far, I've spent well over *3 hours straight on the phone*, 99% of it on hold, trying to get help. I've called so many times, both the general "Online Order" number and the local store. I've been forwarded innumerable times to a number that simply rings--no voicemail. No one is willing to help me, and this started out as a "simple" delivery question!

Updated on 05/27/2020: So after cancelling my bank card and shutting it off, they sent me a email stating my order has been cancelled after I asked them twice to cancel it. 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.

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.

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 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.

I did have to purchase the plug in cord, that was extra $25.00, I paid extra $25.00 to have the old one taken. Delivery was free with the purchase of the stove. HD delivered on time and was quick, efficient, friendly. The only downside to this stove is you have to buy the air fryer tray separate, I was not told this by HD. That is a extra $50.00. The amount I paid for this stove should of included it. Frigidaire is stating the air fryer tray is not essential. For real? That's whole point of buying this. You also need to use a cookie sheet 16" under the tray to keep crumbs, grease from falling.

A pandemic experience. On April 29th we ordered a Maytag 19.7 cu. ft. Frost Free Upright Freezer. It wasn't our first choice but had the overwhelming advantage of being available for delivery on May 11th. 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. And shame on them if they divert products to "higher priority" customers.

I signed up online for Home Depot credit card but never received discount as promised. Once I filled out the application online then I had to call to complete the application – something they don’t tell you online - so after all of that I went online to complete my order and to receive my $25 discount as promised and as confirmed by the associate I spoke to, only to learn when I submitted my new Home Depot account number and temporary three digit code, that I did not receive the discount. I called customer service to question this and was on hold for nearly an hour having to listen to their advertising messages playing over and over. Finally, I heard ringing which sounded like my car was being transferred to a live agent only to find out that I was disconnected. What a waste of my time! Home Depot is the absolute worst!

I buys thousands of items a year from the Home Depot. I also have to return items because it is easier to get my contractor everything he might need than to run back and forth all day. The cashiers are too lazy to look through dozens of receipts and just run my driver's license instead. They have then given me store credit instead of credit to my credit card. This has caused my license to be run and ultimately froze my ability to return an item EVEN WHEN I HAVE A RECEIPT! The store says I should have no problem returning an item but of course when they run my license it blocks the return and they just say "SO SORRY" not their problem. The managers won't even do anything. After being on hold and disconnected for almost 4 hours I was told a manager from corporate would call me, NEVER HAPPENED.

My experience is about Home Depot customer service. After calling and being told the wait would be 30 minutes I was on hold for 50 minutes before I reached a customer service rep. This call was due to trying to change the final address of a product I ordered. Now the rep was trying to get the shipper to change the final destination. No luck. Then tried getting UPS to change. No luck. What is the point of living in this digital age where customer service is useless. Might as well be a computer. I will no longer be shopping with Home Depot. Lowe’s has better customer service.

We received an email after we finally received a case number for a greenhouse we ordered mid April to be delivered 5/5. This is AFTER the shipment was suppose to arrive and AFTER 4 hours yesterday to attempt to see what was happening. We were dropped several times after waiting over 30 minutes. Then to be told by the CS, Home Depot knows nothing and the shipment will get here when it gets here due to Covid.
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. We are suppose to just wait for them to get around to getting the product, and deliver it. Shameful!

I miss small Mom and Pop Stores. I rented a floor grinder for 150.00. When I got home, I tried it for about one minute and discovered that it was wrong for the job. I immediately took it back and asked if they could reimburse at least part of my money since I couldn't use it. They had no flexibility and charged me the full amount. I know that I signed a contract and that they don't have to help me out... They would not. No negotiation, no mercy.

5/5/20 Ordered bagged pond pebbles, the photo CLEARLY SHOWS SANDY GOLD PEBBLES. Item 048834000285.. No option for color offered. So we ordered 20 50-pound bags 1,000 pounds of this depicted gold pebble. Flatbed delivered, oh and it’s covid19 time. So the material is packaged. No signature taken. Truck leaves. The pebbles were a mixed gray, clearly not what ordered. Called store in Robbinsville... "Sorry Covid19. Can't pick up." We can wait till hell freezes over or 1000 pounds of rock can be brought back By 2 seventy year old seniors.

I hate them, and every time I go outside it is a visual reminder why I refuse to shop HD.

I operate a small business and am also considered essential in the world of COVID 19. I placed a large order on the Home Depot site. What an experience! 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 am now trying to cancel the order and purchase these items from the local ACE hardware store combined with another local retailer, and Amazon. It is all available, and they will make sure that my order is filled. Why is it that the smaller stores truly care about the customers and Home Depot Clearly is too large to waste time on a mere customer.

I ordered some lumber to be delivered to my home 2 1/2 weeks ago and paid with a credit card on-line. The local Home Depot has the lumber in stock according to the website. After no progress on the delivery status, I have been trying to communicate with someone at the company over the past few days to either get a timeframe for this delivery or simply cancel the order. I realize business is challenged by the pandemic, but Home Depot has over $400 already posted to my credit card! I presently have two phones I'm on hold to speak with someone, one on hold for 2 hours and one on hold for 45 minutes. It was easy to place the order. It should be equally as easy to cancel it and get my account credited.

I shop all the time in Home Depot and have had terrible experiences with careless idle staff etc. I always had to look for a mature salesperson, otherwise I was better trying to get what I needed myself. I dreaded going there!! Since Covid 19 pandemic I have ordered online and just pick up at the store. I went to my local store in Yonkers this morning and my goodness I was blown away with the service I received. The (all) associates my husband and I met were above and beyond helpful. They were true professional in every manner of the word. Friendly, helpful, aware of the mask/distance rules, and they knew what they were talking about. The garden center was excellent also. Thank you Home Depot Yonkers, keep up the great work and stay safe!

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. This Store Manager then rudely said he wasn't even going to talk to me and explained how his wife was a nurse in the hospitals and he had two daughters he had to teach at home.
I have just placed my $23,000 order for my current renovation of a neighbor's home with LOWE'S. 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.

On April 26th a purchased a brand new outdoor dining set. On April 29th the set came delivered to my house. It was raining so I brought in the chairs that were already assembled. 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.
I was extremely upset for the fact that I brought into my house chairs that could have been exposed to the virus. I purchased a brand new item and even paid $75 for delivery. 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. The cushions were stained which means that they were definitely touched and used!
