Home Depot motor died

We purchased a new GE Adora clothes dryer in 2006 DHDSR48EF2WW. The felt fell out of it 3 months ago and we had to repalce due to noise and odor, the vent area rusted and last week the motor went--repair cost more than originalcost of appliance.
I had to pay $99.00 to repair to tell me that I needed a new applaince--one that should last minimum of 10 years in a four person adult household.

I will neve purchase a GE appliance again. I will have to replace my kitchen appliances and will spend severl thousand dollars but not on GE.

The repair call could at least have been free for such a rediculoaus break down.

I have a GE dryer and it required repair not long after purchase. Luckily, I had a warranty. Two days ago, it stopped working again. This machine is less than 4 years old. I expect it to last longer before it starts breaking down. My old reliable lasted 10 years. I would not recommend GE, or Fridgeadair (My Frideadair washer and dryer lasted 2 years then the motherboards went out).

They don't make things like they used to is an understatement. Any recommendations on long lasting appliances in 2013? I'm tired of replacing these things!

Home Depot hampton bay ceiling fan

My Hampton Bay Ceiling fan failed last night, just lost all power to the fan and light. I took it down this morning and took it to the Home Deport where I had purchased it. The Manager told me that since it was bought in May of 2008, I would have to send it back to Hampton Bay. Does Home Depot not own Hampton Bay Ceiling Fans? Funny thing is that if you look up Hampton Bay, it's only retailer is Home Depot. Home Depot has definitely lost one ex-loyal customer, which I am sure they could care less about. Maybe they will turn into the next Circuit City with there approach to customer satisfaction.

I purchased a Hampton Bay "Lucerne" patio table and 4 rocking chairs. I still have the original brochure which states there is a 5 year warranty on the frame and a 1 year warranty on the fabric. The brochure also states the top is "glass" and it has a "rustproof aluminum frame." I'm just under the 5 year mark and the frame that supports the plastic top (not glass) has rusted away and the table is falling apart. Home Depot handed me off to a company called Huayue Casual, LLC and they said the frame is actually the chair and the warranty doesn't include the frame of the table. There was no comment on the fact the top is plastic and not glass. Obviously, Home Depot had other complaints on this table and this is the way around a warranty claim. Huayue offered to send me a new junk table for $200. Time to shift to Lowes!

Ms stinson. I've been in customer service since I was 12 (yes that's when I began working). If the fans have a 15 yr warranty then it's really bad publicity if their product malfunctions after a yr. No manufacturer wants that on his record, because word of mouth, and now w/help of the internet, it's like an epidemic. That's a lot of pontentially missed sales.
As for shopping at that store for as many yrs as he has, well 1st off, home depot can't afford any bad publicity right now. Where ever they open a store, lowe's is opening one across the street. Not good for either one, but it keeps them honest. 2nd. I love movies and used to buy tons of them from best buy. I took one back once, even though they had a no return policy on videos. The manager at first didn't want to give me a refund or in store credit, but I told him to look up via my credit card number how many movies a yr I buy from them. I said are you going to lose a $900 a yr customer over a movie. That's bad economics any way you put it. Well he wound up taking the movie back.

We have 3 Hampton Bay fans, the most expensive was $140 and the least expensive about $50. I'd have to look up the warranty for the older two, but we just bought one last week, and it has a 15 year warranty. Nobody offers a 15 year warranty unless they are sure their product will last that long. The warranty, of course, is usually limited to certain things like manufacturing defects or failure. If a power surge or incorrect installation caused it to short out they won't cover stuff like that. Your best bet is to contact Hampton Bay directly. Most likely, you'll need your warranty card info and/or your receipt, and things like the product model# and serial #.

No, the store won't take it back. Most stores (not just Home Depot) have a maximum return period - some are 14 days, some are 30 days, and a very few are 90 days. After that, you return the products to the manufacturer. No matter where you buy it. Home Depot's policy is 90 days for most items, which is rather generous. Their store policies can be found here: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentView?pn=Return_Policy&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=100

I really doubt Home Depot will miss your business, but dissing them because they won't take back your fan after more than a year is a silly reason to not shop somewhere. If you've shopped there as long as you say, then you should be well aware of store-return policy.

Same here and since we bought it several months ago the Home Depot store says we won't get full credit if we take it back. I've seen this LED complaint on several sites now, so they know it sucks and continue to sell it to people without a fix for the problem.

Lady at the return department says we will only get credit for it's lowest sale price and that if our model has been clearanced, we will only get a 1 cent credit! What kinda bs is that?! Shoot, the should pay ME for wasting my time installing this thing with a light that they know can't light a room.

I mean, wouldn't that also be some sort of code violation if your main light for the room is so dim that you need a flashlight to move around the room? What a crock. All their light fixtures should pass some sort of code requirement, let alone actually be installed and reviewed by someone at the store prior to deeming it a sellable item. This is not sellable.

Home Depot home depot store # 4712

So I decided to give Home Depot another opportunity after the assistant manager Les reached out and promised I would have this fridge on Friday, 3rd July. I canceled the order from Sears that was scheduled for delivery on Sunday 5th July ( due to being promised that Home Depot would rectify the situation). Tuesday30th June Reggie in appliances told me to not refuse the fridge under any circumstances (the order was still wrong with the door hinge on the wrong side) and Asst Mgr. Les contacted me Wednesday, 1st July and assured me he, would follow-up with me on Thursday to make sure that GE confirmed my delivery window and on Friday to make sure the delivery went ok and to set up someone to correct my door. I never received confirmation from GE on Thursday 2nd July, so contacted them to find out that "Steve" from store #4712 ended up canceling the order with Dolly from LG in the morning and Dolly contacted GE to cancel the delivery. Les assured me on Wednesday not to refuse the fridge, regardless of the order being wrong for the door swing and he would follow-up the next day to make sure GE contacted me with a confirmation (which he never did - he was off on Thursday) and still has not contacted me to make sure the fridge was delivered with no conflicts.

Steve said the Reggie left him a note to cancel the order immediately and then said that is how the store is, "too many hands on the pot and not uncommon."
I can understand you have an internal problem with having to use third party vendors, however this was a total error on Home Depot's part and no one seems to follow-up. I never received an apology, acknowledgment or provided a solution to rectify the problem. Now two weeks later without a fridge. Should never have canceled my SEARS order, since Home Depot can't DELIVER!

Home Depot delivery

Purchased a LG fridge/freezer from Home Depot on a Friday evening and salesperson advised that I would need to wait a full week till the following Saturday. GE (3rd party vendor) showed up but never came upstairs to knock on my door and by the time I got my shoes on they took off in their yellow truck and claimed that no one was home to the dispatcher. I was advised I would need to wait two weeks till the next available date 27th June was my scheduled delivery and the 7th July was the next available date. I told them to cancel.
Called the Bothell store and Ray said there was not much he could do, since that is Home Depot uses as their delivery service. He suggested I drive to the store and speak with the Manager to see what he could do. What's the point, I emptied everything out and cleared pathway to get this in place and my condo it now upside down with no fridge. Beware of the unprofessionalism of this GE service. I had a similar problem with my washer and driver damaged by the same service 6 months ago...

Disgusted with SERPRO
Phoenix, US
Sep 03, 2013 7:48 pm EDT

I have no complaints about the customer service from my local Home Depot where I got assistance with an online purchase, but I won't purchase another appliance to have delivered and installed as long as they use their current delivery system (because the appliances were Frigidaire, GE is the company who contracted the delivery). SERPRO drivers delivered two appliances to my out of state rental property as a 'drive by', completely ignoring that I had paid for an install of the gas range - yes it was on the ticket and that they were to haul away two old appliances. The tenant wasn't sure what was going on and let the guy get away. Many, many frustrating phone calls and a week later, someone from SERPRO in Pensacola came out and installed the range. Then tenants left for a few hours and came back and smelled GAS! They immediately called the gas company and a tech came out and found that the fittings weren't tightened when the range was installed. This could have been a disaster but fortunately, the tenants were not hurt and no property was damaged. I've been trying to find out how and who to report this to but Home Depot says they can't give me names and GE is useless. I called SERPRO and was first told there wasn't an install at my address. When I pushed the issue they told me yes their was an install a week after the delivery (DUH). Still trying to contact the store manager to find out why they hire idiots who don't give a crap about the work they do, and who may be harmed by their failure to do a complete and thorough job. Don't these guys have to be licensed or something? So frustrated and disgusted. Sorry Home Depot. Get better contractors.

I have had a TERRIBLE experience with Home Depot and their delivery service. Not only were we quoted three different amounts for the same appliances, they wouldn't honor the "policies" they like to brag about. After delaying our delivery the experience was anything but pleasant. The installation crew was very rude and tried to get snotty with me. To top it off, our dishwasher sat in the living room for two weeks while we called many times to see when the plumber was scheduled to come out. After several attempts at calling the store, we finally found that the plumber refused to come to our town unless we paid more. GET REAL! I already paid my installation fee. The least the plumber could have done was call us back the FIRST time to inform us we were out of his area. I would recommend the appliances we bought (all LG) but buy them from another store.

Modelcitizen33,
My name is Michael from The Home Depot customer care department and I just came across your post. I am very disappointed about what had happened and that we had let you down to say the least. I have documented what had happened as well as made the store aware of this. We appreciate your feedback as it is valuable for us to make changes to better serve our customers with the delivery companies that we currently have in place.
Again, I am so sorry for what had happened and if I can be of further help to you, please feel free to contact me.

Home Depot terrible place

We told the representative at Home Depot that we have sofits and that they cannot come down because wiring and plumbing are inside. We were sold Thomasville Cabinets and crown molding and were assured that they would work. So far we have two wall cabinets installed and are sitting wondering what to do because no way can we put the molding in place that were givento us. Lets face it, walls, sofits are not straight . Nothing is perfect in a kitchen, the floor the walls ect. We should never have bought these cabinets because they are made for a sofit-less kitchen. Why couldn't Thomasville sell cabinets for kitchens with sofits? Lots of homes have sofits. What we thought would be an easy installation has turned into a nightmare.

Home Depot kitchen installation

In fall 2005 I had purchased cabinets and granite counter from Home Depot. Additionally I, unfortunately, was sold the idea of having Home Depot do the installing. Since that time they still have not repaired the damages nor will they repay for my corrective measures. Twice the undermount sink has fallen out, causing additional damages. Their installer never put in clips to hold it up it seems. First time they re-installed i specifically asked about that issue and was told they don't need clips (not true). The cabinets were improperly installed and it took me almost 2 years of constant email, letters and phone calls to finally have them send out their installers to repair the damaged items. Apparently, once they get your $$$ they really couldn't care less about service, self respect or integrity.

Home Depot should be ashamed of their business practices. Not only do they oversell what they are doing, they know from the beginning that they will fall short of even a reasonable finished result. Their design was off 3" on both sides of the installation, the measurement, which was taken twice by a very compotent contractor was fine. After calling attention to the overall problem i visited the in store designer who couldn't figure it out and blamed the design program, the same program they use to design all kitchens. Later i was told, after all was said and done, that we need to change the style of the cabinet to correct the size problem, so that told me they knew about it before the installation. The store manager tried to pin the problem back on us by saying we initiled the design and were responsible for the results. Her only part of the process was to insure H.D. had no culpability. The regional manager did come out to look at our problem and decided that if we picked up half the cost H.D. could pick up the other half. That was magnanamus of them, however it would only correct half the size problems. Additional calls to the regional manager over 4 months have yielded no reply.
I strongly believe that this company lacks any integrity, there are so many other reliable vendors to choose from that want to do a great job and all it will take is some more time up front to choose one.

The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the overall difficulties and frustration I have experienced regarding The Home Depot.
Unfortunately, many problems developed from poor quality cabinets to lack of important “in stock” selection to complete the project smoothly. For example, the Wadsworth Bay cabinets appeared to be produced of far more inferior quality than the original cabinets purchased, resulting in many exchanges creating delays and disruption of the installation process, as per photos attached.
During the final stages of touch up paint in the kitchen, the contractor applied a small piece of “painters tape” on the surface of the cabinet door, once tape was removed the wood finish came off with the tape.
I also selected Wadsworth Bay easy reach corner base and wall units, which were required for this project
Therefore, after reading an article in the Wall Street Journal (attached) dated Tuesday, October 7 2008 and titled “Home Depot Learns to Go Local”, I have been unable to comprehend the following:
If The Home Depot provides “in stock” easy reach corner base and wall units, then why do you not maintain “in stock” easy reach corner sink base units and corner counter tops?
Clearly you maintain stock of multiple sizes of Wadsworth Bay cabinets, then why is a 9 and 12 inch cabinet not available and must be special ordered?
I would also like to know why The Home Depot has “in stock” fillers for wall units and not base units?
The “in stock selection” of acceptable fillers and toe kicks are non existent, because they are usually chipped and inferior quality of material does not come close to matching the quality of Wadsworth Bay cabinets, thereby easily breaking during installation .
The reason I ask these questions is because, I was faced with many problems that constantly developed when using The Home Depot’s “in stock” cabinets, counter tops, toe kicks and fillers, thereby making it impossible to finish the job, because basic essential components (sizes) were not available.
The sheer number of issues and poor quality products have caused much delay and cost, causing me to place orders for custom made counter tops and a base cabinets resulting from The Home Depot’s general lack of coordination for customer requirements when purchasing certain products.
As a result of my disappointment, I took some time to research if The Home Depot’s competition carried the basic products necessary to complete my project that were unavailable at The Home Depot. I found that Lowes carried basic “in stock” 9 and 12 inch cabinets, easy reach corner sink base units and fillers for base cabinets.
On May 29, 2008, I also attempted to take advantage of The Home Depot carpet and installation promotion . The price and quality of the product were excellent and very pleased with the overall quick delivery and installation. Despite questioning installers if the carpet located in doorway needed to be secured, they advised it was not necessary. Unfortunately, we have been experiencing problems with carpet coming apart at the entrance of the door and will continue to become worse over time.
Finally, The Home Depot’s poor quality products and inability to grasp the necessary importance to supply a well balanced “in stock” line of kitchen products for home improvement has caused much frustration and financial set backs. Therefore, I respectfully request your cooperation by way of reasonable explanation regarding disappointment expressed in this letter, significant credit toward my account and repairs to the damaged carpet mentioned above.
I am extremely disappointed with the continued disregard to my e-mail correspondence and previous certified letter submitted to the Home Depot’s Customer Care Department regarding my experience with poor carpet installation, inferior quality kitchen cabinets and counter tops that has resulted in much stress and financial loss.
The Home Depot’s Customer Care Department for proof of credits to confirm if and how they were applied to my account. My request continues to be ignored and
Although, I agreed to a $250.00 store gift card for the poor carpet installation, I did not agree to a credit of $331.30 for the kitchen cabinets and counter tops, which caused significant installation delays and financial loss, as per letter dated January 25, 2009
I have included all supporting documents for your review and remain hopeful that someone can provide reasonable explanation as to where the credits were applied and why was my dispute was closed without my consent.
Finally, I would also like to know if the Home Depot has a quality control system in place to inspect shipments from vendors in order to prevent inferior quality and defective merchandise from entering the stores.

Home Depot double charged - can't get resolution

Don't ever shop at the Vernon Hills, IL Home Depot. On 5/16/09, I purchased a lawn tractor and accessories. It took over 45 minutes to ring up my sale because the clerk was incompetent. Turns out he double-charged me for the entire order ($3200), and then issued a credit ($1423) that I have never received. I have been trying to work with Home depot customer service and the Vernon Hills store for the past 10 days, to resolve this, but no luck. Everytime I call, I get another person that knows nothing. These guys are idiots. This issue is still unresolved. Don't ever shop Home Depot Vernon Hills!

Home Depot customer no service

This month I went online to pay my Home Depot credit card bill. My modem had crashed on May 1st and they didn't get me a new out until May 6, 2009. Therefore I was late paying my bill.

When I went online to view my current bill, I noticed that there was a late fee of $39.00. The bill was due on May 31, 2009 and was late as of May 05, 2009. I thought this was a bit steep for a late charge.

Then I happened to notice that the interest rate had risen 12%. I had not received any notice of the rate increase. So I called customer service for Home Depot listed on the website.

I spoke to a young female and asked her to explain the steep late fee. She stated that since the account was past due by 2 days the late fee was assessed. I then asked her to check and see if the interest rate increase was correct. She stated that it was. I asked her why the rate increase and she stated "Because you were late on your payment".

I asked to speak to her supervisor. After about 5 minutes a male supervisor came to the phone and I explained the situation to him. I told him that I did not get a paper bill anymore and paid my bill online and because of the modem failure I could not get on the Internet to pay my bill.

The supervisor said "Well you were late in your payment and it is written in the credit card contract that they can go up on the interest rate if you are late". I asked him to look on my account and to see how many times I have been late with my payment. He stated, rather sheepishly, "I can only look back 12 months and you have not been late before. I can't see any further back". I told him I had had the card for 2 years and had never been late before and I could not believe they would increase the interest rate that much and charge a $40.00 late fee. He essentially said that that was the way the contract was written and if I had a problem with it to call another service number tomorrow. He was also somewhat sarcastic.

The moral to this story is that this is just another corporation that has mishandled their business, are now in financial trouble and are now punishing their customers by nickel and dimeing them to death just to keep up the bottom line. Forget the customers and customer service.

The employees they hire will run from you when you try to ask them a question. They don't know anything about the products they sell and don't want to try to be of any help. There is a Lowe's 3 blocks from this Home Depot. This appears to be a systemic problem within the whole Home Depot Corporation. No wonder they are in trouble.

I am going to cut up my Home Depot credit card. I will not spend any more of my money at Home Depot and would urge anyone else to no longer do any business with this failing company.

You can pay your bill at the registers as well, as a cashier I do this many times a day! We could even call and find out how much your payment is for you.

Your fault 100% percent.

Some of the above comments were on target, but what I object to about the $35.00 late fee was the way it came about. We had a .13 deficit that's right 13 cents but because of the method that Citibank uses (via the way Citibank handles Home Depot credit cards) the .13 cents became $2.00 because they charge 263.98 % on outstanding balances. We thought that the $2.00 billing was a glitch ... Yes we should have been more alert! But really who would have thought that .13 cents would have compounded to $37.00. I know this may be hard to follow and I think that must be the reason why the statements from Home depot are difficult to read. I am very disappointed in Home Depot. and Citibank. Their method of accounting is unreasonable and unconscionable so we will not be using a Home Depot card any time soon. They have made their choice to lose a customer. What is really annoying is that I have stock in Home Depot.

What a dope! Citibank handles your credit card. Read the terms of the card and what happened to you is explained in the terms of agreement. If you had been nice and not thought the world was out to crush you, then I bet the first person could have reversed the late fee and interest rate increase because you had a good payment history. But I'm sure you were a jerk and were whining like an old fart. Hey, was your car broken too? Because you could have paid you bill at the store or used an old fashioned thing called a stamp. Fools like you that think it is everyone else's fault and not your own. As far as customer service, looks like both did a great jo. They answered the questions you posed to them correctly. What I don't see asked was, could they remove the fee and interest rate because you had a good payment history. No you were to worried about telling everyone what horrible service you got because this was all your fault in the first place.

Umm that was nobody's fault but your own. It's not the stores fault that you didn't pay you're bill. And there is nothing employees can do about it. I used to work there. You could've used another computer to pay you're bill. You have to pay your bills or yes you will be charged a late fee. Thats Life. If you can't handle it don't have credit cards. But it's certainly not home depot's fault. And another thing.. you customers just stop anyone with orange on. Maybe for instance, you stop a cashier and ask them about flooring. No they're not going to know. Just because you see them in the department doesn't mean that they actually work it. That's probably why you get people who don't know. So them running from you..probably not. Although who could blame them if they did run from customers? Half of their questions are so dumb it's just a waste of time talkin to them anyway.

Home Depot patio chairs

I had bought a patio set from home depot, brand name hampton bay model a014f64 - 2 and soon after both swival end chairs broke at the swival. I returned to home depot and they said to go on line and deal with the company. Well after months and then years i have not had any luck in getting the chairs replaced. . . I would settle for the stationary ones like the other four (4) . . . I can take photo's if necessary. . .

Home Depot awful company

Visited Home Depot on 03/22/09 looking for a storm door. Found what I was looking for. Came back on 03/25/09 to place the order. Sales associate was professional, knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about. Gave me a mail-in rebate, plus a 10% discount (opened a Home Depot account). Sales Associate stated that the order will be delivered with 10 days. I expected 15 days (basic delays). On 04/08/09 called Home Depot checking to see if the Storm Door has arrived to their premises so we can schedule an installation date; The sales associate stated that it will be delivered to home depot on 04/10/09 (Friday eve). I understood the sales associate and was happy to know that at least the door will be at the premise. Today Monday 04/13/09 I placed a call to schedule the installation, I get a manager her title is Expiditer (what an irony - she is supposed to expedite your order - Hahh); I gave her my phone number to look up my order. I told her I was hoping we can schedule the install this week either today or sometime this week. And all she had to say is that the door is not even delivered, and that installation services are not even available for another 2 weeks that if we can book them! I held my self back, and tried to understand what she was trying to say, but that did not help. She kept repeating her self again and again.. At that point I had to end our conversation and call Home Depot Corporate to file a complaint... All I need is a Storm Door installed soon, and not in the next season...

In Such a bad economy, while customer portfolios are shrinking in every business, holding on to your loyal customers must be or supposed to be the vendor # 1 priority. But that does not seem the case. Even if you are a come back customer, and you open a credit account with the vendor and follow the sales associate recommendations, that conduct is no longer appreciated by Home Depot. The only resolution in this case would be an advise to all readers, to pay an extra dollar and go to LOWES. My mistake was not going to LOWES thinking I would save some money, ... but you know what, I would rather be told the truth about a delivery, pay the extra dollar than being delayed over and over again after being promised something else.

On 8-20-08 I ordered a 2, 000.00 dollar tractor from home depot's website I paid 204.00 for delivery, Home Depot delivered the tractor to my residence 4 days ago in a locked 200lbs metal cage/crate that can not be opened by the average consumer, special tools are required to set the tractor free from its prison, I called Home-Depot, The Shipping Company and they refuse to come over to my residence and set the tractor free, they actually asked me to go out and buy a drill a wrench and a rubber mallet so i can set my tractor free, Home-Depot is the worst I will never purchase anything from them as long as I live and i will tell my story to as many people as I possibly can.

I was referred to a HVAC contractor by Home Depot. After deciding on this contractor who mentioned 12 month no interest on HD card, I decided to apply. I called and emailed to inquire about 12 month 0 interest. Was told via phone only 6 month existed! I noticed online that 12 mon was available on HVAC installation. I applied online and received 1200 (not enough for 12K job. I called number on temporary card to request increase. I was asked several question about credit info (i.e. car loan company, etc.)passed series of questions, but was then transferred to someone else who asked me questions about my nieces residence, ex-husband's sisters birth month, which I explained I had no knowledge. Asked about my twin sister's rental property and several other addresses. Nevertheless was denied credit because I couldn't be "verified & high fraud rate online." Explained questions had no relevance to me & credit report. Ashley, Judgmental Coach & Teresa, Credit Underwriter, (Tenn) "can't change questions." Went into store, store personnel couldn't believe my story and called credit division. Stacy & Joe (Florida call ctr), "we use public database that is in my report" I check credit report monthly, since bank institution had laptop stolen several years ago...all info correct! How would I know my ex-husband's sister's birth month! My twin sister's rental property locations or her daughter's city of residence? WHY was I denied credit with a 700+ credit score. If home depot doesn't want to give credit, say so, but don't put up BOGUS questions that have nothing to do with me!

Home Depot claim the corporate code of ethics the "do the right thing" however, they do not... they treat customer with disrespect and no diginity. Corporate policy is ahead of any reasonable customer concerns or complaints. Doing what is right sometimes requires thinking "out of the box". They do not and it is dissapointing...I personally will never set foot in another Home Depot...they are not the type people I like to do business with. I would encourage others to think about your next purchase, Lowes is the same quality and Menards is cheaper...

Home Depot water heater

I’ve ordered Home Depot Installation of a GE 40 gallon 12 Yr warranted Water Heater to be installed. Because I wanted to use my Home Depot card and it was an emergency I went with Home Depot. I paid 887.00 total. $300 for install and $587 for water heater. It became a nightmare. I was sent to 3 different stores after being charge and refunded 3 times. I needed a water heater! The store that’s closet to me is Elmont LI, NY; an appointment was set. Waited for the contractor to call me each time. I waited 2 days to be told that Home Depot Elmont NY, does not install in Queens, NY. Ok. So now I call Home Depot back and the representative advised me that Freeport Long island NY can install in Queens. Now this was too good to be true. It was. The Manager from Home Depot Freeport said no after telling me yes. Now mind you these stores are the closest to me.
One month gone and my second refund later. Home Depot rep advised me that the only store in Queens to install a water heater was Springfield, NY. I was very please to hear that and anxious to proceed with appointment, etc. I was also aware of complaints online, regarding installers for Home Depot especially water heaters and the $100 charge they’ll try to impose.
So with that all being said, the installers from Tristate arrived and just like a script; First of all they sent what seemed to be very young and inexperienced (assuming approx. 18-21 yrs). As soon as they saw the heater, first words were (yes thats 2 installers) said Oh no we have a problem. Like I said just like a script. The water heater is tall and require additional cutting. I said ok, How much? I do contract work as well. I said Do you need snippers to cut the tin vent. I will do it my self. I was actually advising the plumbers. The young man quoted me a price of $90 for a valve and then it seemed like he forgot what else to say and decided to call his manager. After speaking to the manager he turns to me and says we are not equipped to do the work and did offer me an alternative water heater which was shorter and with 6 year warranty. He told me it was not boxed. For all I know it could have been a return so I declined. The plumbers left. I called the Tristate contractors myself so what happens next since they were not equipped to do the work. I was advised that they will have to place another order to install with proper items. So I went to the Home Depot to obtain a refund. was told $887 minus $ 100. Of course I told my story and declared “Its not my fault the plumbers were not equipped and seemed inexperienced.” I also advised that Home depot has alot of complaints online regarding installation services. I was given my refund. I decided to purchased the water heater and get a 20yr professional to install and was charged only $250.00 It appeared to me that these young plumbers were rehearsing along with the manager going from home to home to collect a $100 fee providing no work and/or poor service. Keeping a used water heater in their truck. This is truly a scam and quite tacky. Until they came to me.

I will never use GE Water Heaters sold at Home Depot. I am a licensed plumbing contractor. I used GE water heaters purchased at HD several times - and every one failed. HD will not take the heater back. I had to call GE to send somebody over to take a look at it. If he determines the heater is really defective he issues return number. In the meantime my customer is 2 days w/o hot water - and I have to repeat the installation for free to save my reputation. Shame on Home Depot. Never again. Thank you.

Home Depot interior doors

Ordered 5 interior cherry wood 6 panel doors for one hallway area in my home. Three of the door were installed, after found out that the other 2 doors were special order at 600.00 a piece. This was never discussed ahead of time, the doors were about 350 with installation. The install took place over 2 years ago, still trying to resolve the issue! Still no offer of how to resolve the issue, I have now offered to return the door installed for full refund of all doors, and no response. I left about 5 messages over the past 3 weeks, seeking a resolution, and no response from my calls. They have the worst possible customer service, not to mention they didn't know what they were doing when the order was placed. People in the community all complain about the terrible service.

Got a Rain Soft sytem that they promoted these clowns to finance, after 30 days raised rate 2% after another 30 days raised it again another 2% and gave me 15 days notice of the chage. When I called they said they needed to do this due to having a bad portfolio. To bad Finco you are crooked and I am going to presue legal remedies as proper notice was not given.

Had a conversation with a rep from Home Depot/Rain Soft last night. He said my friend received the Rain Soft unit for free and no maintenance cost. My friend used me as a reference. Rain soft rep. went through the demostration with our water but we ran out of time. I have him coming back later in May. This is when he will tell me the cost! What is the newest scheme they are using to give a "free" unit out to my friend. I have a bad feeling about this whole process now from reading these comments above. I did get a $25 gift card from Home Depot for the first hour of this guys time!

We owe more now that it cost to purchase the product also, and I am to the point where I just don't pay the bill and don't answer the phone calls. I am hoping to pay them off via a loan or another credit card but now they show on my credit history as bad. This company is nothing but a scam...right along with the company who installed the Rainsoft system!

The same thing has happened to us. Purchased our RainSoft water system over a year ago and every month American Finco has raised our interest. We have never been late with a payment but they raise it anyway. We're up to 26% interest now and owe more than we did when we purchased the system. Big LOAN SHARKS. We are borrowing money from a reputable company to pay them off and will file a heated complaint with Home Depot which you're right should know better. Would be nice if theres any legal action we can take. Might take an ad out in the paper warning people about them.

I purchased a water system from a local dealer in Oklahoma City in December 2008, which was financed with American Finco. Made one payment in January 2009 received a notice interest increased to 22.99% for February 2009. Then July 2, 2009 received another notice beginning July 17th interest rate increased to 25.99% if paid on time but if you were 30 days past due the increase would be 30.99%. I will not deal with any company that finances with American Finco or CIT BANK AGAIN.

FYI, rebates usually go through the manufacturer not the store, and rebates often require a receipt. Just ask for a copy, and the cashiers or service people will give you extras so you can keep your original.

Home Depot fraud and cheating

Went to Home depot to place a cabinet order, back in July of 2008, had a designer do my kitchen design. Designer had a blank room no windows or anything else installed at the time. Found the style of cabinets etc. Placed the order.

First cabinet order came beginning of September, he ordered 42' cabinets for the walls and a 96' oven cabinet problem was we had 96' floor to ceiling, also ordered crown molding totaled 6' to go on top of cabinets. Guess you all know it wouldn't fit. Designer said no problem we'll fix the order.

Here we are after 8 orders most of them wrong type wrong sizes. Still trying to get a refund on what we already returned to them have had our entire home dismantled for all this time.

Finally have had to call corporate offices to try and get somewhere. Long story short. We paid over $10, 000 for what should have only cost us around $8000 not to mention the fact the original design is off by over 3' sink isn't where it should be outlets switches etc. are all wrong window is in the wrong spot cook top hood is in the wrong spot. Holes in roof and ceiling are in the wrong spots have to repair and redo everything over. We went entirely by their design. Forgot to mention had to pay to have them measure, and guess what that was wrong too. Designer says the problem is we were the installers. Got in my husbands face in front of store manager and the joker still hasn't been fired yet. Now they have the nerve to tell us we owe them a balance due on our orders at minimum 15-20% more than we already paid.

After going over all the bills, it appears to me that they charged me almost double for smaller cabinets, to make it look like we owe them money. We had to cancel family dinners, vacations, a 70th birthday party and almost life in general since August until now. Install and uninstall reinstall etc. all these cabinets, repair holes in walls ceiling roof and they think we are going to pay them more money.

We were ignored by store managers for months. Threatened by a designer, and just entirely ripped off by Home Depot. I would love to be able to find anyone that has had similar problems and file a lawsuit. If we were charging just labor to them for the damages it would be over $30, 000 that they should owe us. Not to mention all the stress etc. I would love to see them have to pay us little guys for the damages. Oh forgot to mention the 8 cabinet orders have been in my living room all this time finally had to pay to put some in storage so we could at least walk in our room. They don't want to pay the storage either think that part should be our problem never mind they were supposed to come and pick them up 6 months ago. Still waiting for that to happen too. If you want to redo your kitchen please please please go some place else. Learn from our mistake.

I was shopping in the store w/ a friend and had to rush to the hospital in his car to see my grandma at the ER room. When I came back several hours back from the hospital, my car was towered by Home Depot. The store manager had no apology and was very rude. I was directed to call three different numbers which nobody answered. I still had no clue where is my car. How outrage this is!

Home Depot credit card address error

I bought an old house four years ago that i have been slowly remodeling. I had spent close to $80, 000 in purchases from Home Depot over that time period using my visa card. I opened a Home Depot card to get a discount one time. I never activated the card so they (Home Depot Credit declare it lost/stolen). When I tried to use it they informed me of that so destroyed the card and they were more than happy to open another card for me right on the spot so I could get my discount on a chop saw. I never had to fill out another application...very easy at the time. Several months later i'm getting weird calls from Home Depot that sounded to me like telemarketing calls so i was very short with them, "thanks but no thanks and take me off your call list". Well eventually i learned that it was a home depot credit card company collection agency. they had reopened my credit card so i could get the discount on the chop saw but used a previous address (five years old) not my current address. I have a fantastic credit score, i've spent $80, 000 at there store and they're treating me like a deadbeat. I was pissed. They have my SSN from my previous credit card and my current address because they send my stuff all the time and i also had a contractor credit card with them. I immdediately attempted to resolve the matter on the phone, i offered to give them another credit card number to pay for the saw but they said that the only way i can do it over the phone was if i gave them my bank routing and account numbers...i told them there was no way i'm going to be giving out that info to them. I also said that they is no way i'm paying late fees and finance charges given that i considered this their fault. They were ok with that so i went to the customer service desk at Home Depot to pay off the saw but she needed my card number, i said i never recieved a card because they probably sent it to an old address and she could not contact a human at the credit department without a credit card number. She effectively through up her hands and said sorry. I told her to dial the number again and give me the phone. I kept hitting zero when prompted for the number and eventually got a CS person. I once again explained the situation and she told me the amount to write the check for and to simply put my SSN on the check and the service desk person should be able to accept the check...i hung up. well that turned out to not be the case, the service desk person didnt seem to be well versed in that process so i once again had to jump through hoops on the phone to get the credit card person back. I handed the phone back to the girl behind the counter and she eventually accepted the payment. So i thought this unpleasant matter was behind, today i am still getting robo calls from the home depot credit bureau/collection agency. i called home depot pissed and they said that they are not responsible. I tell them that they're name is on the card. They have contracted with the credit card company. They make money from my credit card purchases with that card. They offer discounts to use that card. They accept payments for purchases on that card. I would say that they have some skin in the game when it comes to how that credit card company does business and how it treats Home Depot customers.

Anyway, Home Depot is the last place i will choose to do my shopping in the future. I've had other bad experiences in the stores but this one finally pushed me over the edge.

My husband got a Home Depot card a few years ago...it doesn't matter if he is putting payments on it late or on time because Home Depot calls every single flippin day anyway. They don't just call once. They start calling at 8:30am all the way up to 8:30pm and even on weekends. I have tried being nice and asked them not to call 10 times a day everyday and def not after 8pm, they don't listen. I have tried being mean and yelling at them...also doesn't work. There must be something that I can do to stop these harassing calls. I'm so sick and tired of these people. I will not shop at Home Depot ever again...I have advised every person I know to never ever get a card with them. Ill deal with Lowes any day of the week over Home Depot. I am almost tempted to cancel my home phone line because I can't take the calls anymore as I'm 8 months pregnant and on sick leave from work. I hope anyone reading this takes my advice and stays away from Home Depot. Seriously people...they are relentless.

I can top everything. I have had a card for 3 years. I have never been late one time. I even bought some zero interest for 12 month stuff and didn't get it paid off in time so all the interest hint. I blame myself for the mistake. I paid accordingly because it was my fault. So, I got laid off 3 weeks ago. I called Citibank (they run Home Depot's program) the next day. They informed me that there was nothing they could do to work with me because I was on time and the account had to go past due before they could work with me (DUMB COMMENT #1). So, I called when the account went past due. They then told me that they could put me on a program. Ready for this...I could close the account, pay $100 a month MORE on my payment for 6 months and that would help me. (DUMB COMMENT #2). So apparently, even though I have $70k a year less income, adding $100 a month to my payment is some big help that I should be thankful for! Finally, I got a supervisor on the line. He told me that because of my perfect payment history, I don't qualify for other programs (DUM COMMENT #3). Apparently, you have to have really bad credit with them to get any kind of help. He then tells me that the only way I can get the payment lowered would be to go to a Credit Counseling service. I am trying to work with them to avoid hurting my credit and make sure they get all that is due to them. They want me to go to a Counseling service that will actually cause them to get less money. Additionally, I have spent nearly $10k with HD in the past 3 years. Now, because of their actions, I will become a loyal Lowe's customer. People wonder why banks are failing? It is this kind of stupidity that causes it! Don't shop at HD and NEVER USE any kind of CITI Card.

I have had a HD Card for over a year...I was accidentally late on a payment this week and started getting robo calls immediately. I finally got a call from a live person and proceeded to let him know that I had posted a payment online after the first call - 2 days earlier - and then I told him to put it in their system that he and his telephone harassment pals could ### off.
I will pay this card off this month and NEVER use it again, and I will NEVER shop in a Home Depot again either.
