Home Depot
Reviews and Complaints

I purchased a fridge at Home Depot, in Pittsburg, KS, on August 15th 2020. The service was good, the product is good, we are happy with everything except the Home Depot partnership with Citibank!
I applied for their credit card because of a promotion they had at the time. It was a zero interest promotion, for one year. The loan period came due when I was hospitalized. One week after being released, I received a notice from Citibank that my $599 balance was now $726.40. I should have known better. There's a long history with Citibank doing this sort of thing and worse!
I am extremely disappointed that Home Depot would choose to partner with a company like Citibank. I guess they feel insulated from the business tactics of Citibank? I refuse to do business with either Citibank or Home Depot!

Dear Sir/Madam on Sunday, August 1, 2021, I went to Home Depot to buy some white stones for my garden. On arrival, I said to the cashier whose name is Taylor why there was such a big difference in the price between Home Depot and Lowes and it was the exact stone, she replied we are not Lowes I said to her that's kind of rude she repeated it again and so I asked for a manager. The manager came and I told him about the price difference and he checked and said he would honor Lowes's price, I asked him if the cashier did not know about the price match and I told him what she had said to me.

I went back to the cashier to pay for the stones and I said to her didn't you know about the price match, she said did, I said your reply was so rude I said I am going to file a complaint with the head office and she told me to go right ahead, I said to her you young people don't know anything about customer service, she was so rude that I decided not to continue with the conversation. It took me a while to write this complaint because I do not want her to lose her job but she needs training. She works in the garden center.

I spent close to $5000 on cabinets that I thought were going to be good quality. When delivery arrived they shoved a fork lift thru one of the boxes. I said I didnt want that one its damaged. Delivery person said he didnt think it was damaged and I had to take it and that I could call home depot and they would resolve it. Each cabinet took me 4 hours to put together... I am 62 yrs old and have arthritis in my hands so it was painful to say the least. Additionally it has been over 100 here while I was doing all of this!
Got to the last cabinet unpacked the box... Put it together and the doors wouldnt shut. Come to find out one of the doors was made incorrectly.
Called home depot customer service was told both cabinets would have to go back. I complained and said cant you just take one back (damaged) and send me a replacement door for the other one? Home depot said no... Both cabinets have to come back and we will send someone to pick them up. I was upset because that meant another 8 hours of construction time on top of what I had already done. Called back and spoke to a 2nd customer service person who stated that yes we can have husky just ship you a door.. Let me connect you to them. The 1st call took 40 minutes... This call took over an hour. I had to take the doors off lay them side by side and take pictures.. Upload them to email them to husky rep. He will then send pictures to husky... Approx. 5 days... Then check to see if in stock and if in stock will ship... Another 7 - 10 days. I asked why cant you just call the manufacturer.. See if in stock and authorize them to ship now? You have the pics? At which point my head exploded and I demanded to talk to a supervisor. But I was told I would have to wait for the supervisor to call me back... I asked when? Within an hour, 2 hours, 8 hours or a day a week? I was told there was no requirement of time for the supervisor to respond back to me. What? In the meantime went online to order replacement cabinets and was told I would have to pay $150 delivery fee! So all together I have wasted an entire day on trying to get this corrected. Seriously... I spend alot of money with you guys... My husband and I remodel homes... I was in customer service my entire career and would never have treated a big spending loyal customer like this ever!
I expected home depot to pick up the old damaged cabinet, deliver a new cabinet and a new door for the manufacturers defective door, credit me and apologize for all of the wasted time and aggravation. Instead I am having to wait for supervisors to call me back, wait to hear if replacement parts are in stock call back to order replacement cabinets and oh ya fight to get the new cabinets delivered for no charge.
I get the impression that big spenders should spend thier money and loyalty elsewhere which is what our company will be doing from here on
Out.
Obtw I did all of this for my husband... Ex air force... So he would have more room in the garage to work out... He is a transplant patient and cant go to the gym due to covid. Home depot didnt give military discount for online purchase. This was supposed to be completed by now but because of home depots lack of urgency it appears this wont be finished for weeks! All I can say is wow super crappy customer service... For $500 a piece there should be quality control prior to shipping them out... And yes the cabinets themselves are not as nice a quality as I would have expected for the price.

we reviewed the windows for our home with the rep. and paid $12599.00 toward the windows and installation. Now that was in April 2021, and so far no windows nor any follow-up. They have scheduled and rescheduled some 4-5 times, and one has called nor followed on the reason or whatever is the problem.
We finally have had enough and called and canceled the order. Their response was there would be a 25% restocking charge to the order.
Now the rep. lied and just told us a real story.
So now on to the next step and see how far they want to push this.

Here is the story: We had duct cleaning service with Home Depot yesterday. Everything went well, until the technician finished the job and left, I realised the thermostat was off(blank screen). I called the technician, immediately he replied "I didn't touch your thermostat, it has nothing to do with my service!" I had no intention to blame anyone, I just wanted to resolved the problem! Next, we tried all the steps including to turn on/off furnace switch, on/off all breakers. In this stage I assumed that the thermostat has issues related to the furnace, because the furnace was not running as well. I called again the customer service number which I booked the service in first place, No one was willing to help! No apologies! They insisted the thermostat issue has nothing to do with Furnace, and of course they are not responsible for helping me out to fix the problem. I asked if Home depot could send a technician to take a look on the problem, maybe it was a small problem, but I was not able to find the cause. She said they will charge me $99 to send someone! She said "How's not fair if we didn't do anything with your thermostate?!" Are those people really qualified to work for a reputation company like Home Depot? In the end I have to call a friend who knows a little bit about electricity, he drove an hour to my house and resolve the issue that was caused by Home Depot home service people. The problem was the furnace was not closed properly, caused furnace not running, and of course the thermostat was off.
Obviously, I was upset at this point: 1. I was told that the thermostat issue has nothing to do with furnace cleaning, because the technician didn't touch the thermostat (It's not on because the furnace was off, because the person who cleaned the furnace didn't close it properly) 2. They told me they will send a technician to check out the issue only if I agree to pay $99 fee. This is INSANE! The customer service staff attitude was rude considered that they were talking to a frustrated customer. Why the hell should I pay for anything that the problem was caused by someone who provided the service that I have already paid.
With this being said, I'm writing this letter to share my frustrating experience and terrible customer service that I received from Home Depot. Also I have noticed the bill was paid to Steam dry Vancouver, assumed they are private company hire by Home Depot, which explains why those people are not professional.
Thank you in advance for your attention.

It is idiotic to require face masks again inside your stores. Do you not use scientific research. 70% of people now have shots. 99% of people without shots are the ones getting COVID. If they don't want to get shots then they are at risk. That is their choice. Since when do you think you are the police?
I hope this back fires on you. I am sick and tired of those like you taking away my freedoms, which I served my country in USMC to protect those freedoms for you and now you are trying to limit those freedoms. Shame on you!

Drove 15 miles twice for plywood which was listed online as being in stock. Both times nothing was in stock. Contacted store manager to suggest they update their system. Two additional times after inventory indicated the plywood was in stock I purchased online for pickup. Both times after several hours my money was refunded. Wrote an email to HD complaint dept. again suggesting an online inventory review. To date, no response.

I purchased a $1600 washer/dryer system in May 2021. The cost included that it be set up and connected so that when the delivery left, it would be working. They arrived and did not want to connect. They said it had to do with the cover where the hose goes, but would not allow us to remove it so they could do the rest. I contacted Home Depot and was told they would give me a refund. I learned today that I have to come in the store to pick up my refund check (which is about 30 miles from my residence) and that a check could not be mailed because I used a debit card. Gina, service desk clerk, called to ask me for my driver's license # and I told her I will not give that out over the phone. I asked to speak with the manager and she said she is the manager. I then asked to speak with her supervisor and I spoke with Cam, the Assistant manager. I found out that Gina is a service desk lead - not the store manager, as she led me to believe. Cam explained why they needed my id and I politely told him to mail me a gift card. I refuse to return to this store since the service has been and is always sub-par.

I ordered two Penguin Overflow Protection toilets. One was fine and I was able to install it. However, the second one was broken in the box when I opened it. I returned the broken toilet and ordered the same toilet again. That one was delivered on a sunny, dry day. When I picked it up the bottom of the box opened up and the toilet fell out and broke. I returned the second toilet and ordered a third one. That one was delivered and when I opened up the box again, the third toilet was broken. I was reimbursed all three times for the broken toilets. I don't have a complaint against employees of Home Depot. They are good people who have a good sense of customer service. My complaint has to do with the quality of the product and especially the delivery service that they use. If I am going to rate Home Depot I would give it one star for products. I am going to Lowe's to get a toilet.

I shopped at Home Depot in Elko Nv. On 2955 Mountain City Hwy . I bout fencing materials which was dog ear picket fence, 4x4 post 2x4, 60 lb Sakarya concrete, screws, hardware. Which total to $ 1182.15 + tax
I'm a Veteran and ask for my 10% discount and was told they didn't give discounts on lumber and concrete.I live in So.Ca. and buy down there all the time and have never had a problem with my veteran discount.
Thank You Miguel Bravo

I ordered a washer & dryer from Home Depot in June. I had to wait over a month & a half for delivery and installation. First of all, delivery team was 2 hours later arriving than the 4 hour time span stated to me. Second, they immediately told me they couldn't connect the dryer, "wrong cord." "New style now" according to one, but another said, "I've NEVER seen one like this!" Next, I paid for install but they never even tried to connect dryer vent hose. Moving on to the washer, they first tried to say water lines not long enough, could set my washer "sideways, " then connected them twisted at first, (water running everywhere), then supposedly straightened but "you've got a leak!" from the hot water line. One said to another, "you over tightened it, you need to loosen it to get some pressure off ." What happens? The guy turns it tighter! He finally just turns the hot water off due to the leaking. Next I'm told that there isn't a discharge hose with the washer I bought. I said there has to be and they insisted that no, there wasn't with my model . I told them that sometimes they were put inside the washer tub. Yep, there it was….they acted surprised! They repeatedly asked me for pliers and I did not have my toolbox with me that day. "They said, " YOU don't have any pliers? " in disbelief! After that, they want be to sign that I'm satisfied with my delivery & no damage done - I refused & a female started yelling to the males, " MOVE THIS WASHER & DRYER OUT, she doesn't wanna sign!" During this time she's also snapping multiple pictures of inside of my laundry room. 2 males return inside and one of them starts snapping pictures & I said, "That's enough! How many pictures of my house do you need?" The guy informs me that those were the FIRST pictures taken & I said otherwise. He then wanted to know who else took pictures & I informed him. He proceeds to tell me I HAVE to sign and I said "No I don't." He then showed me a place before my signature where I could write my dissatisfactions and when I started doing just that, he grabbed it from me and told me that I HAD TO SIGN! The female is yelling, "if she don't, we're taking the washer & dryer out!" I said to go ahead & remove them! The guy replied "NO I'M NOT!" He shoved his cellphone in front of me for a signature again and all THREE of them surrounded me in a threatening and intimidating way. I am a small petite woman, all of them much bigger & I just wanted them out of my house. I told them I would call Home Depot myself. They left with one guy & the female arguing, he was telling her she couldn't be taking pictures. It didn't stop her from standing in front of my house & snapping another one.

This is the worst experience I've EVER had with any delivery and I'm up there in age! They clearly were very ill prepared (no tools, lack of knowledge) and acted as if they really just didn't care….after all, it was on a Friday after 6P & they had 6 more deliveries! The icing on the cake though was making a customer feel unsafe in her own home cause basically, they were gonna get a signature stating that I was satisfied with the delivery one way or another! My daughter-in-law was upstairs and later told me, she could hear everything & was getting ready to call the police!

They left my property & I was left with a NEW leaky faucet, a tear in new flooring, paint scratched off freshly painted door, and no dryer hookup.

The BEHR Premium Solid Color Waterproofing Stain and Sealer is advertised as an advanced 100% acrylic formula that delivers all-weather protection from the elements for up to 10 years on decks and 25 years on fences and siding.

The product is self-priming and delivers excellent protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. This wood stain will hide imperfections and signs of aging wood and is also a great choice to refresh the color on composite decks.

I purchased two gallon of this product to apply to my deck. I sanded all the areas that had flaked off (used Behr same product four years ago). Applied first coat of Behr after cleaning the deck area. Two days later applied the second coat. The next day the product had blistered. After contacting a long established paint company in my area I was informed that the Behr paint would have to be removed and then a reapplication could be applied.

I paid the purchase price of $40.98 per gallon with a $.75 can fee. I spent three days preparing the surface and two hours two days applying the Behr.

I'm frustrated to say the least.

Purchased item (order WD75658449) on June 24, 2021 with est delivery of July 5, 2021. UPS tracking says the item has not been received from shipper. Tried to cancel the order 7/29/2021. Was told order cannot be cancelled due to having a delivery date, which as of today was 8/4/2021. I don't know who the shipper is, but I hope Home depot stops using. I can only rate the shipper

Ordered a new stove and microwave. Received delivery confirmation email for 10a-2p delivery window. Took off work and waited. A little after 6 p.m., without hearing anything from Home Depot or their delivery service, I contacted Home Depot for a status update. After a 30 minute wait, I was informed the delivery service had encountered an 'issue' with the delivery before mine and they were now closed. I was asked to call back tomorrow to see when we could make this deliver happen. I said no thanks, and requested a full refund. I was told that part of my refund would be in 3-5 days, and the remaining bulk (over $1, 000.00) would be 7-10 business days. Home Depot took less than 24 hours after my order to remove the payment from my bank account, but apparently, putting it back would be too difficult. I will not be ordering anything further from Home Depot. Nor will my family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers. And hopefully anyone else reading this.

I went to Home Depot and ordered a new dishwasher to replace one that was leaking and a motor that malfunction because, I suspect, roach infestation. I paid to have the old dishwasher hauled off. I was pleased with the new dishwasher installation and was told that the old one would be picked up the next day. That did not happen. I called to complain and was told that it would be picked up one week later and my payment to haul it off would be refunded. It sat outside my home on the sidewalk the whole week. On the day that it was to be picked up I received a call from Home Depot that they were not going to pick it up because it was "bug infested". I'm getting my $25 back and have made arrangement for another company to pick it the old dishwasher, but this is the second time Home Depot has pulled this kind of stunt. They did it several years ago with a freezer and it was not "bug infested". They put the old one in the alley. Don't pay the haul away fee. I have done a lot of business with Home Depot when I remodeled a kitchen and a bathroom with them about six years ago (over $12, 000 worth) and I'm thinking of taking my future business elsewhere.
