I called corporate on a Friday to see if they could help because we were having nothing but problems. The man took my info and said someone would call me back in 30 minutes. The next day I called again as I didn't hear anything back and I was told they had no record of my call, but that she would enter my info and have someone call me back on Monday. Tuesday I one again called cooperate and was told the lady from Monday did not process my call correctly and that it would still be another 24 to 48 hours before I received a call back. We then finally got a call for delivery and set it for Monday June 28th and the Install was set for July 14th. The installers stated we had to keep the product in the house, that it would take 3 days to do the install and that they would only move 2 items per room. This was a major issue because it contradicted what we had been told and my wife and I both work and cannot just take 3 days off to babysit the installers. Also, if my wife was home in the morning when they came, as we had planned for the one day, she would not be able to move all the items out by herself as we were told 6 would be moved per room. At this time I was still waiting for a call back from cooperate hoping we could resolve some of these issues but still had heard nothing back. I received an email on Sunday stating we had our set delivery for the next day and that it was a threshold delivery and it defined a threshold delivery, to the outside of the house. Again this was a problem because I work mornings and only my wife is home and she is not responsible to bring all of this in the house. I called the Truxel store and asked for a manager. I spoke to Butch and explained everything in detail also stating that we don't even have a delivery time, we had a 14 hour window and that was not going to work. He worked everything out for a set time on Monday and we also discussed compensation for all of this hassle. I asked for half of the install to be completed, about $1500 or I wanted the order canceled because this had been a nightmare. He stated he would only comp up to $500 and that he would have to get with his manager and get back to me.
Monday comes around, ready for delivery and they only delivered part of the order. I didn't call HD at this point because I was just tired of dealing with this and it wasn't worth it at this point. Shawn called me back later on Monday and said all they can do is $500 off my order. I told him they didn't even deliver the whole order and he said we had the rest coming on Tuesday. I explained to him that I knew nothing about this and if that was the case they could have just delivered it all on Tuesday instead of coming twice! He didn't seem to be bothered at all by the incompetence of his employees. I told him $500 was not close to being worth it and at this point I wasn't dealing with HD and wanted to cancel the order. They set an apt for Tuesday (the next day) to pick up the flooring. He was supposed to get back to me on how the refund would be processed, if we needed to go in or if it would go back onto the card automatically. Thursday rolls around and still no call back from Shawn so one again I CALLED HOME DEPOT and asked him how the refund would be processed. He then told me they already issued the refund and emailed me a receipt. In this whole process I must say that the only thing that went according to schedule with no hassle at all was canceling the appointment and having the flooring picked up. They were professional and even called to tell me they would be a little late. I don't know if anyone will actually read this or even care but I care. This should not have happened. I have been a loyal HD customer my whole life, I have spent thousands of dollars there and with the refinance on the house, planned on spending thousands more fixing things up. After this experience, I will never shop at a HD again. My hard earned money will not go to a company that treats their customers this way and are so unprofessional. I now drive the extra 10 minutes to Lowe's and will be going there tomorrow to get the process started on our flooring along with the bathroom remodels.
Originally I tried to post this review on the HD website but it was denied saying it did not meet their ‘guideline' requirements. After reading the requirements, that was a load of bull and nothing I said was on their list of things not to say. They don't even want honest feedback from their customers!
The installer showed up, I showed him the room and all the materials delivered. Next I get a call from Ken who tells me that everything has to be removed from the room. I told him that was impossible and no one said this was a requirement. I told him Home Depot installed a new floor in the spare bedroom in June and the furniture was just moved to one side and then the other as the floor was installed. I also informed him that I had friends who did not move all their furniture from the room prior to installation of laminate. He continued to argue with me. Next I knew the installer left without saying a word.
Due to issues with Home Depot I waited almost 5 weeks for this floor. Now I have a partially disassembled bedroom, no installation and unsure what is going on. At no point did anyone from Home Depot or your company ever inform me that all the furniture had to be removed otherwise I would have went with a more reasonable company because moving all the furniture out is NOT an option. Plus I didn't have to move the furniture from the spare bedroom.
I feel completely disrespected by Ken and his installer. They made no effort to work with me. One just made demands while the other didn't even have the courtesy to speak with me.
I have a call in with the local Home Depot manager in hopes something can be resolved. The manager, Stacy called and told me everything that had to be done in order to reschedule the installation. None of this was told me by either the Home Depot store associate or the rep who came out to measure the floor. So I agreed.
Then the morning of the second scheduled date, an elderly couple came to my home. Once again after being on site for less than 15 minutes they left. The boss, Ken called once again telling me the carpet was too dirty. I told him furniture was just moved and the carpet was over 20 years over. I offered to vacuum it but he said there was nothing that could be done. The Home Depot manager, Stacy also washed her hands of it.
So I was left with product and a completely disassembled room once again. I contacted American Trust Wood Flooring who came out and did the job without moving any furniture from
Upon returning home, I discovered I needed to change the delivery date. I called the 1-800 number, 4 times and each time after key pad transferring to multiple extensions, following electronic voice directions, I was electronically hung up on. I then accessed the Home Depot website recommended by the salesman and discovered in order to reschedule, I had to call the same 1-800 number that hung up on me. Frustrated, I called the North Portland store, I called their number 3 times, and via key pad/electronic voice instructions, I was transferred to the Appliance Dept. and was put on hold. I held for at least 1min. Each time, and gave up to redial. I then called the main number again but this time I pressed the extension number to access a general sales person. When that sales person answered, I explained my frustration. She advised she just saw the appliance salesman and would find him for me. She then put me on hold. The salesman I purchased the machine from answered. I explained my frustrating attempts to reschedule the delivery date. He subsequently called an unknown Home Depot number and was able to reschedule for me. I was told someone from Home Depot would call me the day before delivery to confirm following day delivery. The delivery date was set for 1 week. The day before the scheduled delivery, a person who claimed to be from LG called and left a msg claiming due to a shipping error, the machine could not be delivered for another 3 days and left a 1-800 customer service number. On the day before the delayed delivery, I waited for the Home Depot call that was to confirm the following day delivery. By 1:00, I called the 1-800 customer service number left by the LG person, being I hadn't heard from anyone. I discovered it was a Home Depot number. I was told the delivery would be made between 12:00 and 4:00 the next day. I was also told the delivery person would call 1/2 hour ahead of delivery.
On the day of scheduled delivery, I received a call from the delivery person who claimed he was 1/2 hour away. One hour and twenty minutes later, the washer finally arrived.
I cannot believe how disorganized Home Depot"s customer service is. Because of the runaround and delays, I'll never buy another appliance from Home Depot.
This is the type of business practice that keeps poor people poor. NO Social conscious. We need to stop this kind of behavior. This is unacceptable.
The small print tells the story, that the discount is only good good on one item, not your shopping cart that day, and there is a ceiling you can't get more than a 200 dollar discount.
One of the tricks Home Depot use so that you can't get that full 200 dollar discount is when they issue you a credit card and HONEY it doesn't matter how good your credit is they give you a paltry limit of a 1000 dollars. Guess who else does that for the same reason? AMAZON credit card. This is the worst chicanery. I recommend you all cancel your Home Depot credit cards. What is the point of paying so much interest?
When I went to purchase a high ticket item and handed them the 10 percent off coupon, they used the coupon but miraculously my order was canceled. NO more coupon. It was spent. So when I went to reorder it was a nightmare. The Home Depot store agent said she would handle it herself not to worry. She would wait a few weeks speak to her manager and input the discount. Never happened.
The only time it pays to use the Home Depot card is when they have the 6 month offer. But you must read small print and make sure you pay it off before the 6 months is up. Make sure you don't buy anything else on that card. Make sure they raise your credit limit to a reasonable ceiling. They are in bed with Citibank. If you have a Citibank card or any other card you might go down the list with them of all the interest rates you have that are probably 7 percent less. Tell them your line of credit and you remind them of your glowing credit score.
I am surprised this is legal. I will be doing more research into this and I will hopefully have an update.
I would not recommend doing any business with the Romanoff Renovations office out of Tacoma, WA which receives most if not all their contracts through Home Depot. It started with the leadership sending one man to do a job of tiling 1200 square feet in five days. By midway point, you could see the deterioration of the quality of work. I sent pictures and a letter to Romanoff and Home Depot with my concerns and received no response after five days and once I sent another email to follow up I finally received a response. Romanoff scheduled an inspection in which Jeff, the field operations manager showed up and appeared to be disrupted by coming out and acted very unprofessional and did not even bring any tools with him. I was under the impression it would be a complete inspection of the job lasting up to two hours as described by their person who scheduled the appointment.
I walked him through the house and his words were What you got? Or What else you got? So we didnt get a warm feeling our concerns would be properly addressed or resolved. I stressed several times on the disbelief of only having one person do such a large job and there was no quality control from neither Romanoff Renovations nor Home Depot during or after the project was complete. I also mentioned that none even bothered to call me to address my concerns to resolve the issues at hand and asked that someone in management call me with the outcome of the inspection. Jeff looked me in the eye and said I will be calling you with the update myself. Two days later a receptionist calls to schedule an appoint to fix one tile and I responded that Jeff was supposed to be calling me with the update and Im waiting on him to contact me. The receptionist relayed I refused to schedule an appointment so I went back to Home Depot to resolve this issue. I called back to Romanoff Renovations and requested to speak to Jeffs supervisor twice and was told Jerry was out of the office and he is very responsive and will call back soon, I never received a call from him. Jeff called me to conduct a reinspection with a Home Depot manager which I had to cancel last minute due to a delay in my daughters flight arrival due to the Canadian fires and rescheduled the inspection for August 25th 2017 as I thought.
On Wednesday August 23,2017 I called Romanoff Renovations to confirm the time of the inspection and they had submitted it as an install and I corrected them saying it was supposed to be an inspection done by Jeff and a manger from Home Depot and the receptionist said she would have to pass this to Jeff and he would call me the next day due to being gone for the day. I received no call from them on Thursday and was expecting Jeff and the Manager from Home Depot to show up for the inspection on Friday August 25th, 2017 to have an installer come and say he was here to install one tile. We explained to him that we werent prepared for that work and had company over and were expecting an inspection. I called back to Home Depot and continue to work with them to resolve our issue but without this Company. Save yourself the headache and hire professionals that will do it right the first time! I never heard from Jerry Ozburn, the installation manager.
Home Depot & Temco have been absolutely useless in this process and are taking no responsibility to solve this or take liability for the issue. If Home Depot farms their deliveries out to a 3rd party that is not the consumer's issue and Home Depot should be claiming liability for their subcontractors work and customers should not have to be dealing with their subcontractors who they did not purchase from.
I have over $50K in damages to my home (walls had to be torn out, kitchen cabinets torn out, tiles damaged, all appliances removed) and cannot live in my house properly with no appliances. Over 3 weeks since the incident and I am no closer to a resolution and nothing has been done to get my home back in order.
So note to consumers, buyer beware if you ever purchase anything from Home Depot, they do not know what they are doing for a simple washing machine install and good luck getting them to help you or take liability for any issues they, or their subcontractors, cause. And even if your house is flooding, take pictures and videos "in the moment" or you too could be stuck in this type of nightmare.
We had an absolute horrible experience from the pre-installation to the installation and post installation parts. On June xx, we received a call from a Home Depot staff who scheduled the installation for Thursday June xx between 10 am and 12 pm. The lady repeated Thursday and 10-12 pm several times and so did we when confirming the day, throughout the call. This call was recorded.
However, on Wednesday June 21, we began receiving phone calls from 8:30 am from Home Depot telling us Home Depot were near our house and that we had to let the crew in. You can imagine that we were absolutely chocked and highly stressed as we were getting ready for work and this was not the plan wed agreed on. We explained everyone that there was an error on the scheduling and that they were supposed to come over the next day. The guy on the phone was angry and refused to hear anything we had to say. We called the lady who scheduled the appointment but she wouldnt pick up the phone or call me back. We called the main number and asked the man on the phone to check the recording of the phone conversation scheduling the installation but he refused. His crew called again and told us they were on our porch and had to get the work done or they wouldnt come back. So we pretty much had to let them in. They stormed in the house and started taking things apart and making a mess, without ever telling us what they were about to do.
Due to their scheduling mix up we had to shift shift our entire schedule around. We asked for a copy of the recording but of course they refused to let us listen to it. The crew/installers rushed throughout the installation process, running around like mad people, up and down the stairs, knocking things around, scratching walls, floors, and surfaces around the windows, leaving debris all over and open spaces around the windows (outside parts). Some of them left while there was still lots of work to finish up, leaving 1 guy and myself to clean up the mess. Then the last guy (Matt, the most professional and caring one) had to leave and we were left cleaning up the crews mess from about 5ish pm to 8:30 pm. There was calk on the floors and surfaces, all over the freshly painted deck, debris outside by the porch, scratches on the wooden stairs, wall paint scratched, and not to mention that all the new windows were dirty, covered with grease marks and stains. When we pointed those items out, the responses we got were either: oh we dont do that, we dont have cleaning products, we didnt leave those debris on the stairs (then who did, my house is always immaculate and the debris were dragged around as the crew was running in & out the house, up & down the stairs). Installing 12 large size windows from about 9 am to 4 or so, gives you an idea on how rushed and unfinished the job was.
Anyway, its done now and we managed to get Home Depot to offer a small discount on the already-paid cost, which covers a tiny bit of the damages but its better than nothing. That would have been good enough to move on and forget about it all but the way they continued to handled the situation (lack of communication, being dismissing) was frustrating and totally disrespectful. Their communication line is totally broken: we kept getting calls to schedule a measurement visit after that step had already been accomplished! If you order from them, just keep record of all communication and make sure youre prepared to supervise the work and ask questions before they start the installation.
This is where everything gets super fantastic. We had already paid off the Home Depot card and they froze the account because it isn't normal for people to make a big purchase and pay it off so quickly. I spoke with a manger and he said he would get me a cash refund due to all the issues we had. I was like great this is fantastic. The manager left and 10 minutes later came back and said he cannot give me the cash refund he said he would. It would all have to happen the way we purchased it. The manager also made a comment he would like to see the corporation just do away with appliance sells because his life would be easier if they didn't have to worry about them. This was not professional.
My husband was on the phone forever with the Home Depot card to get it unfrozen to accept the refund. Once he got through they said we have to call back in 2 days to see if the refund went through, but the account will be frozen until the refund pushes through. Once the refund is complete it will be 7-10 business days for us to get a check for the refund. They cannot electronically push the refund back to the bank that paid off the card.
The communication is lacking. While we were trying to work out options with the store the lady in the front let us know that there has been so many issues with appliances and people have been waiting 4+ months for their appliances to come into stock. Had we known this we would have shopped elsewhere or went with another manufacturer. The lady also said that the delivery/warehouse personnel are a 3rd party provider and they are hit and miss with the communication to the customers and there is nothing they can do about it. I would love to know why they are even selling items they know will not be in stock for 4+ months. Why they are doing business with 3rd party vendors that are known for lack of communicating with their customers? All of this reflects badly on them. They did nothing to make this purchase right. I am out a washer and dryer, I have to wait a week to 2 weeks for a refund. All of this could have been okay had honest communication taken place. Once we get the refund we will be canceling the credit card. My husband is a contractor who has many times gone to Home Depot multiple times a day to assist his customers. Because there was nothing done to make this right he will be using Lowe's now for this daily construction needs.
My suggestions for the store to improve:
1. Be honest with the customers. Let them know that the manufactures are being delayed and the purchases can take months to arrive.
2. Do not have sales for items you do not have available to customers. Most of you customers will need the appliances soon otherwise they would not be shopping for appliances.
3. Do not offer a solution you cannot follow through with.
4. Don't blame all the issues on other companies. The people you do business with will reflect positively or negatively on you. If you continue to get complaints do business with another company that can keep YOUR promises.
3 weeks ago I purchased a Samsung dishwasher from the Home Depot. 3 days later, I took off from work to meet the installers and have it installed. Everything appeared to be in order when Home Depot installed it, but later that night I went to do a load of dishes and some error lights came on and the dishwasher stopped working.
I called Home Depot and they agreed to send another one out and rescheduled another delivery.
The installation team came out, removed the old dishwasher and installed a new one. Again, everything appeared to be working. I left and went back to work. Later that evening I returned home prepared to do a load of dishes. 20 minutes into the wash cycle another set of lights comes on and the dishwasher stops working. So I looked in the owners manual and the error code said the dishwasher wasn't getting water. I checked the supply line, it was open and there was water in the dishwasher.
The next day I went to the Home Depot and I spoke to someone in the appliance dept who assured me they would take care of the problem by sending someone out to our home to fix it. So days later I get to take off a third time from work to meet, what turns out to be the same installer who installed the first dishwasher. He told me it was installed properly and that I would have to contact Home Depot. At this point, I'm starting to get aggravated at all the hoops I had to jump thru to get a dishwasher.
So I drove my unhappy butt down to the Home Depot and told them that I no longer wanted a Samsung Dishwasher, that I wanted a different model instead. I was told that I would have to schedule another appoint at my house to return the dishwasher and then purchase another dishwasher to be deliver and yet another date.
I didn't really think it was fair that I should have to take off 2 more times from work to end up with a working dishwasher. So I told Tina the manager that arrangement would be unacceptable. They could deliver a new dishwasher and remove the non working dishwasher at the same time.
I would have been willing to pay the difference for a better model. Apparently giving me a refund and allowing me to pay the difference was against Home Depot's policy. So I had to purchase another dishwasher it was Floor Model Bosch dishwasher. I was assured at the time I paid for it that the dishwasher would be scheduled for delivery as soon as we got back from vacation.
Upon my return from vacation. I went in to schedule the delivery of our new Bosch Dishwasher, when I was told by Tina the General Manager that home deport doesn't deliver floor models. Needless to say I was beyond pissed off at this point. She never made an apology, she just cited company policy. I promptly told Tina that I wanted to return everything and receive a refund.
She quickly passed us of to Tessa a customer service associate who was equally uninterested in delivering any type of customer service.
I then went home and removed the non working Samsung myself (as it was easier than taking another half a day of work off, so that Home Depot could pick it up) retuned and received a refund. Tina the manager took special care to make sure that every hose, nut and bolt was accounted for, but she never once said I'm sorry that you had to go thru all of this.
I own 2 businesses and a put tremendous value in making my customers happy. Over the course of 3 weeks, I have made at least 6 trips to the store and had at least as many phone calls. Each time Home Depot had the opportunity to solve my problem and they chose not to, each time citing this policy or that policy. My problem was that I just wanted a working dishwasher, delivered and installed just like I paid for twice. I didn't ask for anything for free. I just wanted a dishwasher.
If Tina the General Manager of Home Depot cared half as much how I was affected during this process, rather than how Home Depot would be affected. They would still have a customer. I will never be back.
Just wanted to let you guys know what was going on and to fix it.
Sincerely.

I am having the worst experience with home depot appliances. Their service sucks, every one is unprofessional, and don't know how to do their jobs.
I first placed an appliances order H1041-26112 for a washer, dryer, and refrigerator. The first time the delivery people arrived on December 23rd and refused to deliver. Home Depot said that I should reschedule as it might rain, and they will destroy my carpets. I had to travel from next day, and I told them that they should install appliances today but they didn't. I went to homedepot to complain but nobody was there to listen to me. I then talked with online customer support, well they suck as well with an additional 2 hour hold to totally waste your day.
I then tried to reschedule delivery to Jan 10th, nobody called me and I called them to ask for it. I was told that delivery missed me and left a tag but there was no tag. Then I was scheduled for Jan 13 for refrigerator. The freezer wasn't working which I came to know after couple of days and I complained but its still in my home and I haven't received any service. Now the fridge is not working either.
Now about washer, and dryer; delivery company told me that they don't have dryer for me. Do I only want washer or both washer and dryer. I told that I want both. So, they said that they will call me back with more information. Next day I called home depot and they said that my dryer is canceled. I should come to homedepot and re-order it. I went there to re-order dryer. I was told that for now, I should receive only washer, otherwise it will be canceled as well. I received the washer and now waited for dryer.
On 1st Feb (now over 2 months since my order and about 40 days after my original delivery date) the delivery people came with the dryer but said that I need longer pipe, though my order has 8' pipe. They said they don't have them, and took the dryer back to cancel it.
Homedepot is a mess. Please stay away. They owe my money for 3 orders of washer, haven't refunded me yet. Gave me a faulty refrigerator, and there is no service to fix it or take it back. The washer is un-installed and I still haven't got as dryer even after ordering it for 3 times.
We went into HomeDepot and told Ronnie that we wanted the Anderson door with the retractable screen. I wanted it in black with a nickel handle. She told me that Home Depot had it in the 3000 and 4000 series. The 4000 series doesn't come with a retractable screen. She told me that she was only in that department for 2 weeks and hoped that everything would be ok. She said she wasn't trained and just put in that department. She was in another department for many years.
The subcontractor came to hang the door. Wrong door, wrong color. The color was actually put in as white, but wrong door any way. We told the installer that this was the wrong door. He said he would call Home Depot. By the way, he removed the caulking. Never put in the striker plate and had the nerve to say he knew that.
We went to the store again, but this time a very knowledgeable young man named Joe waited on us. He said there was no problem. He would take care of everything. This is the reason that people would want to come back. The installer called and said he would hang the new door up. He knocked on the door and asked my daughter (I work) where was the door. My daughter said, I thought you were bringing it. He said he would call Home Depot again.
Valerie called and spoke to my daughter and husband. My daughter was with me when Ronnie took the order. Ronnie was there and said I signed off on this and all the would do was have the installer fix the striker plate. She spoke to my daughter like she was stupid and when my daughter tried to explain that Joe fixed the problem. Valerie said, he can't do that because he is not a manager. When my daughter tried to talk to Valerie, her response was if this was wrong, then why didn't you come right back. We did, through the phone and by telling the installer.
Sir/ Madam, people like Valerie shouldn't been in that position and Ronnie should have been trained. I did not order this door. I want the door I asked for and after I've purchased many things, there, but this is it! We asked to speak with someone higher and no one has called us yet.
If this is how you do business, you will be losing a lot of customers. While I was there the first time, a couple came in, patiently waited and asked for there money back because they had the same problem we did; Incompetence! My family runs businesses and I guarantee that we wouldn't be in business too long. This is bad business. Remember, if you are good to your customers in the good times, they will stay with you in the bad times. I want someone to give me what I ordered. Not a run around.
The deliver two men came to delivery to the house Im renting the washing machine, the delivery man (tall man) came asking where is the location to install the new washing machine, is showed him the laundry room, he found that the old washing machine was not disconnected from the water inlet and the drainage, so he toke picture of that (like he is waiting to find a problem), then he asked why the washing machine has not been disconnected from the inlet water, is told him is did not know that we have to disconnect it, he said it's in the contract, is told him Im not the buyer Im renting the house, then is told it's fine is can discount it now, he said in angry way, you are wasting our time, we have too much work to do, you should have it discounted it before we come, is said it would not take 3-5 min., so before he brings the new washing machine is had disconnected the old one, so he toke out the old washing machine, is went on the floor of the small laundry room to clean under the old washing machine, when he came in the launder from with the new washing machine and my wife is also inside the laundry room and he was going to put it over my feet (without even asking us to leave the laundry so he can have the free space to enter the washing machine and install it), when my wife asked him to take carry he is going to but it over my feet, then he got very angry and start shooting you are wasting our times, so I started telling him, that is have been doing my best to help to finish your job but is do not work for you to shoot at us, we are customers and we have the right of respect and better behavior, then he left the new washing machine at the door entrance, toke the old washing machine saying you call Home depot to do the installation for you. And his colleague start shooting at me on the street what you did not not correct and you are wasting our time, is told Im trying my best to help to do your job, he said no we are leaving, is told him this would lead that is will complain to the company, come finish your job, he said "Since we came you want us to loss our jobs"!, I told him why do is know you from before?! Is never met you before, your behavior would lead you to lose your job, then the other one (the tall man) start shooting from the door of the track and he ended his shoot with the "F Word", I said to him what did you say start videoing him to say it again, and he would not have the courage to say it again but waived with his hand to go away and is do have the video for that.
I completed for over two time on the phone to Home depot and is went to the store to meet with the story manager and should some sympathy and not happy from what happen, then send to his assistant, she send a complain email message to the delivery company, but up till now (more than 48 hrs.) Home Depot did now do the installation and would not the authority over the delivery company to force them to do the installation today!
This is one of the worst customer service is every faced, they are good in sorry and apologizing but with no action!
Not sure now if Im going to get any apology from the Home depot of the delivery person who told me the "F Word".
Home Depot service might be good in story and after that it's SO SO Bad SERVICE, so if you order any product from Home depot get ready to get the "F Word" on the delivery time!
On September 2nd I contacted the store to make sure everything was in order and was told part of the delivery arrived last Saturday and the fence panels would be delivered September 3rd. My husband and I were going to home depot to purchase more items and decided to stop by the desk and schedule the delivery to the house. But to our surprise the fence hadn't been delivered to the store. When we asked why not the CSR said she wasn't sure why it hadn't been delivered. She contacted the vendor, while we were at the desk, was told, and I quote..."We didn't have enough room on the delivery truck, so we decided to ship it with the order next week." She covered the mouth piece of the phone to tell us what she was being told. When I asked what does that mean and when next week would it be delivered, she asked the vendor and Home Depot responded they didn't know what day next week.
I asked to speak to a manager and Tom came over. We explained the situation, along with the fact that our dogs were being kenneled until the project was completed. His response was he couldn't do anything because of COVID-19 and delays happen. I'm not sure what COVID had to do with a vendor making a decision to not put an item on a truck... but I guess that's everyone's go to defense when something goes wrong now. He then stated he could call the vendor NEXT TUESDAY the 8th to find out when the next delivery would be. Now today was Wednesday the 3rd, why he couldn't call right then and ask, was beyond me. He also suggested he could refund our money, but it would be 3-5 days before it would be applied to our credit card.
It took home depot an additional 8 days to get the fencing delivered to our home and the contractors an additional 7 days before we could get back on their schedule for installing the fence.
Trying to get someone in customer service to understand what an inconvenience the delivery delay had cause was useless. All everyone kept saying was sorry, we understand, sorry... but the apologies were all scripted and insincere. How can you understand when their dogs were not in a kennel for 3 weeks, or their home didn't have holes dug around the perimeter waiting for fencing.
Home depot will never get a penny from me again. I will take my business to Lowes, were they treat their veterans and customers with respect.
Order refrigerator May 29th, scheduled for delivery July 28th (delays per covid). Received email from Home Depot the day before delivery due, July 27th, that there was a delay in getting appliance to warehouse so now a new delivery date was scheduled for August 18th. Received call from delivery company, Exclusive Enterprises out of Midway Fl (Tallahassee area), on August 17th, we are now scheduled for delivery between 2:30-6:30 pm on the 18th. On the Wednesday the 18th at 6:09 pm got a phone call from one of delivery guys on the truck stating his partner cut his hand and Home Depot were heading to the ER so they could not deliver. He stated he was putting it in the log and I would still get it that week. The next day I called the delivery company, explained the previous night's call and asked when to expect my delivery. Was told they could re-schedule for August 27th at the earliest. Frustrated I called local Home Depot in PC and spoke with a manager in appliances. She tried calling delivery company and got told same thing, they were booked solid til 27th. She explained there was nothing they could do as the delivery company is a third party and they have no control. August 26th Received call from delivery company, again on the truck for delivery for August 27th between 3-7 pm…they were a no show, no calls, no emails no follow-up. On the Home Depot tracking email there is a button to speak to someone, you leave your number and they call right back …the lady I spoke with was able to check the truck log and showed I was delivery #12 but the last entry was at 4:30 and was apparently with the delivery before mine, and by now the company was closed as it is Friday night. I then called the local Home Depot and spoke with an Asst Manager, he stated nothing they could do and no one in store could help again due to them being a third party.
By now I am beyond frustrated…. So come Monday morning I called the delivery company asked to speak to the person who does the scheduling, was told his name is Alex and of course he was in a meeting…requested call back…never received one (surprise- surprise!)
I then called the Home Depot Corporate hotline I found on their web page…rep called delivery company and got no explanation as to why the delivery was not made. She then was told I would be put back on the truck for the next day, Tuesday August 31st for delivery between 3-7 pm again. I explained what happened prior Friday for same delivery time and it appears I am last on the list and when the end of their day comes, they just stop delivering…. So again waited 3-7pm on Tuesday and of course no show, no email no call…
I was more than done…. I proceeded to go into the PC Home Depot and explain my situation and that I am canceling this order! I worked with Customer Order Specialist, Bonny Bentley, she apologized that I had this experience but understood my frustration. She verified on the Home Depot order that I had been scheduled 3 different times and never received the order…. She called the delivery company asking why… the Ladies who answer the calls could not give a reason. She explained to cancel the order and she processed my refund.
Home Depot needs to get rid of this awful delivery company they are using for their appliance delivery, obviously they cannot handle the volume and have no customer service skills. This third party is giving Home Depot a lousy reputation for appliance deliveries. This is also being posted on the delivery company's web -site as well as their Better Business page. They need to find a different line of work. If you choose to order an appliance thru Home Depot, you better pick it up yourself somehow.

I have had an issue with an order since August 17. I am going to go into every detail…. But I have spent over 20 hours of my life on this issue to receive the following type of customer service.
August 17 – talked with on line rep regarding missing 6 handles, he said he would order them.
Sept 3 – talked with Charlie to be told that the order was never placed. She gave me a run around
Sept 3 – talked to Jessica after I received a very poorly written vague email from Charlie. Jessica promise to watch what is going on and she promised to contact me back the next day…
Received 2 handles instead of 6, Charlie ordered 2 not 6.
Ended up speaking to several other individuals and promised return calls that did not happen.
Ended up speaking with
Tamikka Wiley
Executive Escalation Support, Online Contact Center
The Home Depot
Office: *******704 Ext. 54214
Her customer service has been nothing but a poor joke with a very poor punch line. On one occasion she put me on hold for 30 minutes, then when she came back on line, after having me on hold for 30 minutes, and said… "ha ha, no more dialogue, good bye." Thirty minutes of being on hold to be told "ha ha, no more dialogue, good bye."
Sept 30 she sent me an email, it stated if I had questions to call her. I have called at least 6 times left messages and she never returned those calls.
Have spoke to Pam, Tamikka's supervisor three times. She has plainly told me that she will not answer my questions… I have request at least thrice for her manager to give me a call. She states she has told him, and he will not. Last time I spoke with Pam, the call got disconnected and she did not return the call. Therefore, I don't know what is going on.
I have sent several emails to you at your home depot email address, complaining about Tamikka and Pam. And, Tamikka told me that you have not seen those emails and that Home Depot have been forward to her. Why do complaints about an employee get forward to the employee and you never see them when they are sent to your email address. I guess this is one sure way for the employee to be able to cover their butt, because they see the email and gets to throw it in the trash can?
Sept 30 called the 800 number to file a complaint. Gentleman told me he would have his supervisor give me a call. Later that day, received an email that said, his dept would not handle my complaint, he has forward it to…. I will receive a phone call in the next 48 hours. Six days later, no phone call.
October 5, around 3 pm spoke to a lady, who promised that her supervisor would call by end of business, which would be 8 pm central time. No phone call returned.
October 5 7:45pm, called and spoke to Lu. Filed complaints and asked for a phone call from Pam's manager.
October 6 3pm, spoke to a gentlemen, he promised me that his supervisor would call me today. Phone call did not happen.
October 6,7 pm, spoke to Lu, she did not request a return call from Pam's supervisor like she told me should on Oct 5.
So, I am sitting here in the dark, after 6 weeks and over 20 hours of my life wasted and do not know what is going on… when am I going to get the correct merchandise, etc. I have BEEN LIED TO OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THAT SOMEONE WILL CALL ME AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
Is it a requirement to be a habitual liar to become an employee of your company?
I could probably write another 3 pages of complaints in regards to this situation. But I won't. Would welcome a phone call from you personally.

I am a Veteran with a VA service connected disability rating of 60%. I have shopped at both Lowes and Home Depot many times since leaving the military and have finally given up shopping at Home Depot based on the way Home Depot have treated me (and all disabled Veterans). Here's why:
Let's start with Lowes (who got it right). I shop at Lowes. Select my product. Take it to the checkout. I show my Veterans healthcare card (which has a photo of me on it) to the employee. The employee says "Thank you for your service" and deducts the promised 10% discount from my total. Perfect. Thank you Lowes.
Now Home Depot (who consistently have got it wrong every time I've been in there, to the point that I now don't go there because I'm disgusted with them). I go into Home Depot. I select my product. I go to check out. I show my Veterans healthcare card to the employee. They stare at it like it's something alien. They point to the front of the card and say: "It has to say 'service connected' ". They do not give me the 10% discount. I tell them the following facts:
1. This is the only card the VA issued me.
2. I offer to show them my VA disability letter and my Disabled Veterans license plate, which you cannot get unless you have a disability. They shrug their shoulders and say, "It's our policy that we only accept a card that states 'service-connected'.
My response: I leave my product and leave the store disgusted, having felt like I've been cross-examined by the Home Depot employee who don't seem to believe I've gotten disabled from service to my country. Wow. Thanks Home Depot!
My issue is this: I'm not going to go to the VA and say: "Hey, the Home Depot won't give me my 10% discount because they say my card doesn't have 'service connected' written on it - can you fix it?". Because the VA have more on their plate and I'm going to assume they're not going to magic me up a special card that states that my disability is service connected. Furthermore, why do Home Depot insist on this very specific wording on the VA healthcare card and not accept the actual official VA letter confirming disability? Every single Federal and state organization accepts either the card (as it is) or the letter as proof of a service connected disability. Why is Home Depot so different?
The upshot of this is that I am certain I am not alone in being denied the claimed discount. So Home Depot can boldly tell the world how "nice" they are to disabled Veterans by offering them a 10% discount, but the reality is they don't. They get out of it by making you jump through an impossible hoop. Oh, and no "thank you for your service", ever.
Yes, Home Depot have excellent products, but if you compare the two stores (Lowes and HD) side-by-side, Lowes is incredibly friendly and responsive to disabled Veterans. HD is not.
I wrote to HD Corporate to complain about this issue and their response was to completely ignore my questions (they offered no response when I asked why they wouldn't accept the disability letter or why only their company requires the VA healthcare card to have this special wording on it) and dumbly reiterated their policy: "our policy is to accept the following forms of identification: a VA healthcare card that states the words 'service connected' on it. And again, no "thank you for your service".
Basically, they are guilty of false advertising. If I have a business and I say I offer a discount to a minority group, but I then add a caveat that as proof of your eligibility you have to possess something that you can't possess like a card with special words on it that no one from that minority group has - that, to me, is false advertising. Someone somewhere in corporate hq said: "How can we promise one thing but get out of delivering it? So we look good, but actually don't have to live up to the promise? I know! We make it so their card has to say something special that none of the cards say."
Scumbags. You're welcome for my service. I'd do it all again, even though you treated me like a piece of crap when I tried to get my disabled Veterans discount. God forbid I came in their with my legs blown off and you did the same thing.
2) Took a Toro has weed-eater multi-head for repair. Home Depot had it for 2 months -kept saying "waiting for parts". Finally took it back, got new carburetor kit online and fixed it myself.
3) ordered a stacking washer/dryer and paid for installation. Went day before installation to store to measure for dryer vent & noticed a staking assembly on the store units. When I asked the assoc about it because it wasn't listed in my order she said yes it is needed and has to be purchased separately. But they don't stock them. Found one 20 miles away at a different store and had it for installation. They come and say "since it wasn't purchased at HD we can't install it. Dryer is still sitting in garage with the gas line and dryer vent I purchased as part of installation price.
4) Bought an EGO mower from HD. While under warranty the self-propelled mechanism goes out. EGO says to take it to HD, so I do. I check back in 2 weeks and they "can't find it". A few days later they find it and send it out. A month goes by and I hear crickets so I stop to check on it. I eventually get the phone # and CSA # for HD off-site repair center. After a week I call them for status and they say they haven't received it yet and will have a manager look into it. So it's been about 2 months and no mower. If I didn't have access to another, my HOA would be all over me and I would have had to hire a service -which would be several hundred $$$ to this point.
I guess when you pay people $10/hr, they really don't give a damn about customer service.
It never did, so we called them and asked to have a new fridge delivered when they delivered the replacement stove. We had someone come to our house on a weekday for the delivery to hook up the gas for the range and be there for the delivery because we both work M-F 8-5. On Wednesday the delivery people came and inspected the fridge and left. They did not even have new appliances in the truck to deliver and said they would schedule another delivery date.
We have no idea why they even bothered to come out with no replacement products. So we had our third delivery attempt scheduled for that Saturday.
On Saturday the delivery guys come and have a fridge on their truck and no stove. Their order only has a fridge and picking up our defective stove, and they won't even give us the replacement fridge because it's in the same order and they can't do half of the order.
After grueling hours of calling home depot, home depot online, the delivery service, and GE we finally confirm having our appliances delivered the NEXT Saturday, 4 delivery attempts, and 2 weeks after our initial order. Let me mention that we do not have a working stove or oven at all and cannot cook anything besides in the microwave, for two weeks now! We confirmed both appliances would be on the truck, we confirmed the part number, and that they would both be delivered on Saturday, with two separate parties.
Guess what? On Saturday, the delivery people came with a fridge and no stove, AGAIN. Now we have to wait til next Friday again. Next Friday they are attempting their FIFTH delivery THREE weeks later.
This time they offered to replace our bad fridge with the new fridge, but the gasket on the new fridge was even worse than the gasket on our current fridge. I do not know why GE cannot properly ship appliances without breaking them and why home depot and GE coordinating cannot organize a date to deliver both appliances together.
This is a huge inconvenience to us who have to eat out for 3 weeks. And who have to devote free time and wait here for deliveries that never happen. Last Saturday, yesterday, my fiancé had to sit on the phone with Home Depot for hours on his birthday arguing with the people and they refuse to adequately compensate us for our troubles and inconvenience.
We tried to talk to manager Trevor at GE, who said he would call us back and never did, and we talked to Terrence Home Depot online manager who tried to be helpful, but would not offer us enough compensation.
I am thoroughly disgusted with this whole process and will never buy anything from Home Depot or GE again. Stay tuned for next weeks adventure when they attempt to deliver our appliances for the fifth time...
After working with not only the store level as well as the corporate level no one was even willing to succeed that the product was the problem EVEN though I found plenty of evidence that it was. We cannot even move around without fear of scratching this garbage flooring.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GET LifeProof flooring from Home Depot (made by Halstead New England Industries) of which I have read reviews of the Allure flooring they make as well and those are NOT good.
Just do your research before buying ANY flooring from Home Depot. Not only is the flooring "not super durable" because the layer is THIN; but also Home Depot will not back you because they are in the pockets of Halstead New England Industries and will side with them before siding with their customers.
What interesting is that at the same time I had them contracted to do my floors, I was paying them to also replace my front door. That is also a disaster. Three doors later I still do not have a door that is defect free. The bottom line they will not honor the claim IMO mainly because they have a vested interest in both the company that made it and the company the inspector came from.
The following day I recieved an email to inform me that my online order had been canceled. When I called to find out why I was informed it was because the delievery zip code and billing zip code were not the same. The person on the phone helped me place a new order for item, but at that point all the delievery time slots for that week were gone and the soonest that I could get delievery was the following tuesday. I had to take another day from work and drive about 5 house meet the new delievery date.
When the refridgerator finally did arrive (incidentally the home depot truck had no issue getting up the driveway) - the guys got the old fridge out of the house and the new one into the dining room - and informed me that it would not go through the kitchen door. I had measured carefully using the specification on the home depot website and knew the opening of the door to be 29.5" and the refrigerator with the doors removed was 28.5". The two delievery guys told me that if Home Depot did take the doors off it still what no go through the doors and they REFUSED to try taking the doors off and left. I should at that point have called and had them pick up the fridge, but they had the old one with them.
I had to go buy some tools and was able to remove the doors my self and was able to push the refridgerator through the doorway myself. At this point I called customer care and they were going to call the delievery guys and see if they would come back and finish moving the fridge into place and hooking up the ice maker. He assured me someone would call me back - they never did. I had to hire someone to help me move the refridgerator into place my self - but the icemaker and water dispenser are still not hooked up - I guess I will have to hire someone to come do that.
I called and talked to someone in online purchases the next day about my experience, they were going to do some research and get back with me - so i called again, had to explain this long story again and was told they needed to transfer me to another department, I was transefered to a lady and had to relay the story yet again. When she told me that it was out of her hands that she needed to transfer me to yet another person - i lost it, The situation has cost me so many hours - and time is the one thing I do not have extra of.
My last attempt to give Home Depot once last chance to make this situation better was
I call the consumer relations department and talked to Terry Before going into detail I told him I was very unhappy with Home
Depots servace related to a purchase and was he the best person for me to explain the situation and see if he somehow could try and make ammends. He told me he was the best person to take care of and proceeded to tell me how much Home Depot values my business.
After explaining my story - he asked me what I wanted in terms on a refund. I told him that I would prefer for them to give me an offer rather than me come across as trying to get something for free. He told me he would have to meet with his "team" and would get back to me no later than monday June 6th. I did not here from him until today June 14th (over a week later) and he has offered me a $50 home depot gift card. I told him that let me see exactly the extent of how much Home Depots Values my business. I have shopped there exclusively for years (as well as Home Decorators) and have used them for a complete kitchen makeover, appliances, garden equiptment, lumber and building material, installations and even a new roof. $50 doesnt even cover the money I had to pay someone to help get the fridge in, tools i had to buy to take doors off myself, the amount of gas i spent having to have made a 2nd ( and still have to make a 3rd trip back up there to get this working) not to mention the time away from work, etc etc etc/
I see exactly how much Home Depot Values their customers. I will pay off my Home Depot Card and never use it again. I wll not ever buy from Home Depot again or for that matter enter one of their stores.
Thanks for reading this review - i highly recommend going somewhere else to make any Home Improvent Purchase.
