Home Depot Complaints Continued... (Page 3)

I am a Vietnam veteran and have a complaint about the Home depot store policy, which now prevents me from getting the 10 % discount on my purchases. The store personnel tell me it is because my Veterans Hospital I D card does not indicate that I have a service connected injury and therefore do not qualify for the discount. As I said above, I served in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange, a follage killer. as was used extensively to better expose the Vietcong troops . I now have many health issues due to exposure to that agent orange, which the Va hospital is constantly treating me for, and I generally feel bad and have to take many meds on a full time basis ,because of my expose to that product. However, I was lucky enough to get home with all my body parts in tact, but over time many health issues have developed, although the Veterans Administration does not recognize them as service connected injuries. I think this is very unfair and I now will no longer be able to shop at the HD store here in Sevierville Tn. That also means I will now be shopping with my local Lowes store for all my building and project supply needs, as they give all veterans and military personnel the 10% discount. I feel Home depot should review that policy, and consider treating all Military personnel the same as Lowes does. I hope your stores will consider this issue and make the change back to the way it used to be at the HD stores. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. SSGT Clyde sims US Army retired.

I went to the home depot store in East Hanover NJ asked an for some help about plumbing supplies and wasn't really helped much other than what aisle they were in. I went to that aisle and didn't know what I was looking. I became frustrated and left. I went to customer service to speak to a manger. Bob arrived, I explAined the situation to him. We went back to that section and he called for the specialist and the same guy arrived Nick arrived that basically blew me off. I didn't want his help , left and took my business elsewhere. I called and spoke to an assistant manager Sam twice sent several emails, with no response. I don't know if this is the way home depot handles their complaints, but in my line of work as a public servant, I most certainly didn't not. A disgusted patron

I recently placed an order for slid in range and microwave from you Lufkin Texas store. I was told they woud deliver and install range if we bought a new power cord. When it was delivered the guy that delivered it had no idea what he was doing, he just kept says it wouldnt fit. I infomed him that he legs on range had to be adjusted to raise it up. After multiple tries I told him it was fine. My wife and I ended up leveling it after he left. I asked the two man crew if they would help me put old range in garage and they said they could not move it. i called store to compain and was told that it was a third party delivery and I could call them and complain. I told them that the truck said Home Depot on door and that was there job to contact them. If home depot doesnt have competent people to install appliances they need to tell there customers that so they can buy from Best Buy of some other store that knows what they are doing. dilivery date 11-2-18. order HO513-39955-V5-24853605. Gary LaRue 936-577-4979 . I have always shopped at Home Depot but I think is will be my last purchase. Fortunately I new how to install stove, if it had been someone who didnt they would just been screwed.

Approx one month ago I purchased 6500.00 of deck railing from the H Depot location in Placerville Ca. I went to the resister to pay at which point I told the clerk I was a veteran and asked if I would get the 10% veteran discount. He said yes at which point I informed him I also had 1800.00 in H Depot gift cards I would like applied to the purchase. He called him supervisor to assist with entering the gift cards properly at which point she asked to see my veteran ID. I showed my discharge paper(DD214) which she did not believe was proper ID so the 10% discount would not be given. I asked for the store manager who asked if I was military retired. I told him I served 4 years (73-77) and was honorably discharged. He referred to a Home Depot military retired printed guideline and said unless retired I could only avail myself of the discount on certain holidays. I believe they were the 4th of July, veterans day, etc. I paid in full at that point. All the HD staff were polite, professional and apologetic.
I owned a small business for 37 years in Sacramento (Burketts Office Supply) and one thing I learned fairly early on was not to allow something we were attempting to do to enhance the customer experience to end up a negative in the clients eyes. I think you may want to consider taking a look at your guidelines regarding military discount and simplifying them to where it does not end up confusing for wither your staff or the client.

Never have Home depot do installs in your home! They are the most unorganised company I have ever worked with! They make you pay upfront for everything, then they wont call you and you have to constantly contact them to get answers. I bought over 10k of services from them in the last two months and it has been a roller coaster. When having my counter top installed, they told me they would have a plumber hook up my sink and tap at the end and when I came home from work to no sink to use, they told me they could send a plumber in 2 days for $300 lol. Not to mention the mud left on my couch and the glue all over my cupboards I had to scrape off. Then when I paid for my back splash install and didn't hear from anyone for quite some time, I had to contact them many many times and they kept telling me to wait for the installer to call and make the appointment. Eventually with my help, they realised they messed up the entire order, made me come in again and pay an additional $500 that they missed and then I had to wait forever to hear from someone again. When I went to pick up the install order, they thought my order said 30, instead of 38 and were missing tile. I told them I was not coming back here again and to drop it off at my house when its ready, for the install was in 2 days. As I walked out of the store with my items, I was stopped and asked for a receipt which was not provided to me. They would not let me go because they thought I was stealing and made me wait 10 minutes while they contacted the front desk to make sure I paid. VERY EMBARRASSING AND UNPROFESSIONAL! AND THEN! the day of the install, which I just knew was going to happen, the installer tells me that they gave me the wrong plastic holder and not enough grout. So I spent 30 min on the phone arguing with them to deliver these items ASAP because I had to go to work. Of course, I was late for work. NEVER AGAIN! And you think they would compensate you with all the money your spending and all the time your wasting helping them with their job and driving back and forth. NOPE! Their staff needs better training.

I am a veteran and was just refused the veteran's discount at your Marple, PA store. In the past, I would just show my PA driver's license with it's veteran's designation. This time I was told that is no longer effective. So I left my intended purchases at the counter and drove over to your competitor, Lowes. They had no problem giving me the veteran's discount when I showed my PA driver's license.
If this is a policy of Home Depot, it is insulting, especially right before Veterans' Day.
What is your policy regarding PA driver's license with a veteran's designation? That is, does this entitle the bearer to a veteran's discount?

To whom it may concern at Home Depot,

I can’t tell you how pissed PISSED OFF I am with Home Depot!!! I’ve been shopping for a trailer and couldn’t make the purchase by October 31 because there were important details needed to be ironed out with the thing I was going to put on the trailer. I worked things out with the object I was going to trailer and pretty much new which trailer I was looking at before that, the end of October, but it was November 2 now and the interest free coupon had expired by two days.

The picture is this: I had already picked out your trailer, worked out the 18-month interest free and formed it into my budget. Problems with the object I was going to trailer were nearly finished, but it took another day or two. So I found this other offer Home Depot sent me for 10% off OR 3 interest free options however the cost brackets were much different, higher is what was different. I had to spent much more to get 18 months interest free. So back to grinding out a new budget to see if I could do this new wrinkle. I am pushing it but decided to get the trailer. After spending a lot of time trying to find which stores near me actually had the trailer, I found that Penfield did have one (1).
Off I go only to see it was very weathered, wood floor planks checking and splitting, and rusted metal over quite a bit of it.

More time spent now trying to find another store who has the trailer, Victor has three (3). Now traveling from Penfield to Victor. After looking at them and deciding on one I went inside to purchase the unit. I asked at the Customer Service desk, there were three women in attendance, just how the interest free program worked, and we exchanged examples, and all agreed: the Total purchase price divided by 18 months and that is how I figured for my budget. So, I was good so far. One of the attendants started the purchase process, taking my name and phone number and finally asking for the coupon at which point I repeated I’m doing the 18-month interest free. I was handed a bunch of paper work and was told to go to the DMV to get this trailer registered.

Off I went to Henrietta from Victor to have a 1.5 hour wait to get called. While waiting I pulled out the paper work to make sure everything is in order and I noticed the amounts on the receipt weren’t adding up. And then I saw why, she took the 10% off option NOT the 18-month interest free option!!!!

Now you see why I’m pissed. I went back to the store to complete the transaction and I didn’t see the lady who wrote me up and unfortunately only one of the same women was there. I started to explain what happened and reminded her that she was there when were all discussing the 18-month interest free financing. She started to check the trash bins for the coupon, she couldn’t find it and I showed her the picture I took of the coupon earlier. She said she couldn’t use it and began calling someone from the finance company. When she was done she told me the 18-month interest free would take two billing cycles to come about. Which means I’m going to be billed and charged interest on this purchase for at least two bills!! I asked her to just refund the purchase and then redo the purchase. She said she needed the coupon. The cell phone picture of the coupon clearly shows the code numbers beneath the bar code. So, I’m going to refrain, avoid, stop ever using this Home Depot card for sure and maybe shop elsewhere for big ticket items. I could have gone to a local trailer store and made this purchase; the outcome would have been the same! I pay interest right away for the trailer through their financing. Where is the incentive to shopping Home Depot?

Regretfully,

No communication . extremely poor service . just horrible service from the top down. Had a project I HAD to get done today but now its so messed up between me and contractors because of extremely poor or non exisant service from your company. And I thought you have changed. Will Never do business with Home Depot again

Order # W932398406. Hampton Bay White Open 5-shelf bookcase. Store SKU #1001703645. Part “L” missing!

Last Wednesday we ordered a bookcase online with 2day delivery. It came right on time. Good impression for Home Depot, right? Box was neat, no dings, no damage. My husband and I are both senior citizens and both disabled. Everything was going well. We needed it that day. We had 2 of our sons over Saturday morning to assemble this for us. They both had busy schedules, but took their time. They had it nearly put together when they discovered that one of two identical pieces was missing. If they had noticed it before they started they would not have put it together. The one piece was not marked but they figured it would work out. Turns out there should have been two. It is the trim on the bottom side front of the bookcase. We called immediately and the representative said she would notify the warehouse to get us another piece. Of course, they weren’t open and she said she would call back Monday, which is today. I just got off the phone and I am so disappointed in Home Depot. I trusted that I would get what I paid for, but that trust is misplaced. The warehouse has no replacement parts and these are not carried in the stores.
So, we can bring this back and they will send us another!?! Not an acceptable resolution!!! Who is going to put it together?! It took about 2 hours to assemble. Not at all acceptable. We have no way to transport it! No interest in asking anyone to spend another 2 hours on it. Why would we believe all the parts are in the next box? Either open a box and find the part & ship it to us or send us another box and we will open it and find it and they can take the rest back or just send us another bookcase. They sent us a $25 e-gift card and when I asked where I can buy this replacement part for $25...no where!
I am furious. Our sons are shocked & furious!. The first thing everybody notices is the missing part. Now I must call everyone and tell them I was wrong when I told them Home Depot was taking care of it! I will spend the gift card, but it’s the last time I will spend anything at Home Depot...we have bought the last Home Depot gift cards for our sons’ birthdays & Christmas gifts. If your reputation means so little to you I don’t need to deal or cause anyone else to deal with Home Depot again.
PS. I was checking your site today for wainscoting we are getting ready to have installed in our foyer. Never mind!!!

ordered a shower door 10/9/18 said between 10/16-10-19 delivery to store no product updates . finally on 10/19 told probably at store but not unloaded yet.

My husband and I ordered a custom door early July, The door arrived to the store early Aug. We scheduled the door for installation mid-Sept. The day of the install the store called and said there was an issue with how the door was ordered and that they would need to send someone back out early the next week to measure and look at the space again.

After a few back and forths my husband went to the store - looked at the door to understand what it was going to look like installed. All agreed we are good to go and we still have no date for installation. Today's date is 10/16.

My ask is for a date to install the door. Thank you!

Bought new roof with 50 year warranty in 2006. Roof leaked on 10/09/18. Called local depot early am 10/10. Was told I would hear in 24-48 hours. Called 10/12 and was told by MOD that work order had been filed, but no other information was available. Got number for Scotty Lee who called me back with number for Ray. Called Ray, left message. Got call from Ray that night saying crew would be at my house at 9am 10/13. Called and left messages for both Ray and Scotty Lee at 10:30 am wondering where crew was. Ray called back at 11:15 saying crew would be here at noon. Crew arrived around 1:15 and addressed issue. Spoke with Ray, thanked him, and encouraged better follow-up and communication in future.
Rained hard on 10/11.Noticed small leak in same area. Called and left messages for both Scotty Lee and Ray at 3:00pm. Heard nothing.
Called Ray at 9:00am 10/12. He told me he had been in meetings, and was too busy to get back to me. He also said he never heard of asphalt shingles lasting 50 years (irrelevant), and that problem probably wasn't roof ( did not instill me with confidence, as he has never seen the roof, and I heard the cursory report the crew had given him earlier). I was a bit frustrated, and asked Ray to get someone here as soon as possible. Ray called me back between noon and one pm on 10/12, saying the roofer would call me in an hour.
It is now 11:20am on 10/14 and I have heard nothing from anyone. Called Ray, but his mailbox is full.
This roof cost $17,000 dollars, and I went with Home Depot largely because I trusted the stability of the corporation- that you would be there, standing behind your warranty, should problems arise ten or more years down the road.
I feel compelled to bring what I feel is a lack of attention to detail, and failure to communicate and follow-up which results in poor customer service in the Chicopee,Mass store.
I have 30 years experience as a vendor for pressure-treated lumber for Home Depot stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut,Maine, and New York, and am familiar with how tight a ship you run, so felt you would want to know about this situation. Thank you.

Ask for a quote to install a 30 gallon shirt electric water heater. Received a response within the hour from a Lee Heating & Cooling in Fort Walton Beach for $2500 discounted price. The quote was way too high, so I called two other plumbing companies in the area and got quotes for $1000 for the same water heater. Please see the attached quote from Lee.

Just to let you know of this problem that is causing you to lose business as I deal with Home Depot often.

Sincerely,

Phil Krull

RE: Job # 1808073094
On August 7, 2018 I contracted with Home Depot for a roof replacement. Today is 9/22/2018. I was told by the sales person that I wound hear from someone to schedule an installation within 2 to 4 weeks. The job is at step 5 and has been for several weeks. I have called the team leaders # at least 3 times and emailed one time. This is my second email concerning this matter. My next complaint is the fact that I financed the project with Home Depot. As of now, per the Loan Agreement I am making payments for a service that I don't have. At this point I don't even have the option to cancel the project.
Thank you for any help you can provide to get this job completed,

I purchased the Worx 110 mph 600 CFM Turbine electric leaf blower in November 2017. About 1 week ago I was blowing leaves, pine needles and dirt off my deck and the unit slowly lost power and then completely quit. That was followed by the ever present smell of a burnt motor. So, on 9/19/18 I returned to the Home Depot in Biddeford, Maine where I purchased the blower just 10 months ago. I had already ordered a new one on line as the store had none on hand. I went to the store with the blower to return it and have the money refunded to my credit card I made the purchase with. Much to my surprise I was told that because it was past 30 days they could not refund the money to my card. I was told I would have to contact the manufacturer to see what they would do. I was not pleased and cannot believe that Home Depot wouldn't and supposedly couldn't refund my money for an item only 10 months old. Definitely not the best customer service. Also, I know this to be an outright lie as I worked for Lowe's for five years and numerous times I had to approve refunds of purchases past 30 days as I was the sales manager for my store. Lowe's always puts the customer first and refunds or provides the customer with a new product. Also, Lowe's has never suspended or changed anything with the 10% discount given to the military. It has been a constant privilege to those, including myself, who served their country with honor. Home Depot has stopped it in the past and now limits your total to $500 total over a year span. Clearly, Home Depot is missing the boat when it comes to customer service. What happened today was unacceptable, but standard for Home Depot in my experiences. Maybe it is just the store or caliber of employees at the Home Depot in Biddeford, but I doubt it. So, now I am left to deal with the manufacturer instead of the Home Depot backing their products, refunding my money and then dealing with the manufacturer themselves to get retribution for the failed blower. So, as of today I will never purchase another item from Home Depot and I will be sharing this story with anyone who will listen. It is sad and pathetic that Home Depot wouldn't do the right thing by me (the customer) by refunding my money instead of giving me the lame corporate line about 30 days. That is why Lowe's is #1 and Home Depot is a very distant 2nd!!!!!

I got a Homelite 2-Cycle Gas Trimmer for my birthday (July 2017) at the Home Depot, 27th Street location Lincoln, NE. I am very disappointed in the customer service received. First of all, they didn't offer to look at it, try to fix it or give me a replacement. Any new product should last longer than a year, especially when you don't use it all the time. It would not start! I even took it to a small engine repair shop and was told it was of poor quality and they could not fix it. I have not looked at the reviews but I can imagine other people that purchased them had the same problem as myself. The trimmer was on sale for I believe $139 and my brother got it for me as a birthday gift. It was charged to his credit card (Aaron Witherspoon, 301 Penny Lane #6, Ruston, LA 21270). He bought the trimmer, string and gas mixture. I am very disappointed in the service received and the product itself. It make me not want to shop at any Home Depot stores and I certainly will not recommend any Homelite products to anyone I come in contact with that need outdoor lawn equipment.

Be advice I own multiple card with home depot I also shop there very often and spend hundred of dollars My last purchase I bought 5 Gallons of paint to paint my house No one explain to me that if I do not used them I cannot make a return my point I did buy too many so few days later I take back one gallon and they refuse to take it back the associate tell me they change the return policy my opinion I don't think it fair they should verbally explain to the customer the return pol

we purchased carpet at the Home Depot in Fergus Falls Minnesota. We have done business there for a number of years. The deal on the carpet was that the installers would remove existing and dispose of it. Also would move all furniture except our piano.. We took care of that. very poor communication between installer and store, first installer arrived , refused to move anything or remove carpet When I called the store they said they would take care of the problem. the installer left, I waited to hear from the store did not and called them back 4 hours later to see what they were going to do about it. Could not get any answers. 1 Week later they sent 2 guys out again , they refused to abide by the contract. Finally someone came they completed the job. Only after they had broken a plate that was on the wall, there are staples sticking up on the steps from the tackstrip the poke our feet. they left there garbage in our driveway. We were treated so poorly through this whole transaction, by staff at the store and insurance agent, and company that installed the carpet. We were reimbursed for a tear in a carpet in another room. which they wanted to super glue together. I will never recommend this store to anyone again now will I ever spend another cent there. So very disappointed in the whole ordeal. Very stressful.

Order H3208--31520 placed June 26, 2018 which apparently became lost in California. I even received a tracking system which didn't work since the items were not shipped for delivery on July 22, 2018. I called on Thursday with the complaint "where did you lose my order?" I was told that it had never been shipped from California, was found there, and would arrive on August 9? I am sure that was another "maybe?"

I have never had a complaint with Home Depot in all my business with them nor has my son, Dennis Schmidt who is a home contractor in Wyoming. He had now had to change his vacation for the 2nd time to come and install my cubboards.

This is certainly creating a problem all the way around and a real problem for me to have NO KITCHEN for almost 3 months when I planned this all so carefully.

I certainly will not be recommending your company to any one in the future with the screwups that have occurred this time.

I recently completed a customer service notice to you on your store in Orange, TX. In it I complimented 3 of your staff. Mr. Larry Bradley, Ms. Theresa Griffin and Ms. Anita Smith (now at the Hillcroft store in Houston. I have shopped in nearly 2 dozen HD stores in CA, AR, MI, NJ, LA, OK, TX, and enjoyed the service etc. The best of these stores is the Orange, TX store - best by far.
After taking the time to file the compliments I learned that no feed back has been provided, but if my comments had been negative I would guess that feed back would have been immediatel
Let's try to be leaders instead of managers, and treat our people with respect and at least acknowledge customer Kudos.

Went to the store in Casselberry Florida on 1792 in Publix plaza to buy a lawn mower weed eater and eddger, a cash sale. My husband is a veteren and asked for the veterens discount. We are normally a Home Depot customer and have used to discout previously. The cashier told him he was not eligible because his VA identification did not indicate service related. She was rude and condasending. We told her we shopped there often and had never had this response before. My husband asked for the manager. Another staff member called for the manager. The manager came to speak with us. He did not seem to understand what the problem was. He asked the cashier what to do. She said we were not entitled to the discount. This was the same cashier who started the discussion. She said smugly "I already told him no" as if to say I told you so. We told the manager you have just lost a cash sale of At least six hundred dollars we will go to Lowe's they honor veterens. I will be passing this experience on to our veterens friends at church and let them know how Home Depot does not honor their service. This cashier was very rude and seemed to be proud of her attitude. We will not be shopping at Home again. Thank you. Bonnie Mallo 3307 S. Park Ave. Sanford, Florida 32773. 407-496-5717 cell phone.

I do not like the self service check out why can't you have more cashier like it use to be. If you say it is cost savings then you need to lower your prices. I will be using ACE Hardware and Lowes more.

Having missed the date to put in a fence they showed up 2 weeks later to install everything was marked out and after having to leave for work took my 6 ft level out to check because the next morning I could see one fence pole off well there were 4 they also installed damaged gate frame which is also not even where they come together at top they hit and on bottom there gapped properly that goes the same with my walk thru gate not even close to square what beats all I'm still picking up cigarette butts talked with Dennis Henderson yesterday asked him to let me know if he received all my pictures uts the second day haven't ears from him I'll give him one more day and then I will seek alternative satisfaction

IN APRIL OR MAY I CONTACTED HOME DEPOT ABOUT INSTALLING NEW WINDOWS TO MY HOME. A MAN CAME OUT FOR THE ORDER AND MESUREMENTS. UPON INSTALLING THE WINDOW, ONE WINDOW WAS LEFT OFF THE ORDER. I WAS TOLD BY GARY HALE IT WOULD BE REORDERED. 2 TO 3 WEEKS LATER I WAS TOLD THE NEW WINDOWS WAS IN AND I NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR INSTALLATION. IT TOOK MORE THAN A WEEK TO GET ME RESCHEDULED. ON THE DAY FOR INSTALLATION OF THE REORDERED WINDOW I RECEIVE A CALL FROM HOME DEPOT THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE WINDOW IN THE WAREHOUSE AND ONCE AGAIN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REORDERED AS OF JULY 16, 2018.

IN ADDITION WITH REGARDS TO THE ORINGINAL ORDER, THE INSTALLERS INSTALL 2 WINDOWS IN MY BATH ROOM THAT I DID NOT OREDER (2 WINDOWS WITHOUT ANY INSULATION) I WAS TOLD THESE WOULD HAVE TO BE REORDERED ALSO. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM SOMEONE ABOUT THESE WINDOWS AND THE SITUATION. AS OF THIS DAY I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL ABOUT THE STATUS OF THESE (2) WINDOWS.

I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME RESPONSE TO RESOLVING THESE MATTERS. I CAN BE REACHED AT:

The online purchase that I made on June 7th was the worst experience I have ever had. The customer service was horrible and it got even worse after it was escalated to the resolution department. I can promise you I will never use home depot for another online purchase again and I would tell anyone that's even thinking about using them not too. My story is way to long to get into but I am serious when I say they have no clue what good customer service even is.

I am writing about an issue we recently had at your Store in Poughkeepsie, NY 12601. We went in to purchase a new patio door and have it installed. We spoke to a very nice gentlemen who explained the different doors and how the installation process works. We set up an schedule to have someone call us and come out to measure.We were told this would cost 30.00 and if we went ahead with the install it would be taken off the price of the install.We were told installation starts around 450-500 depending on how much has to be done during install. We were told a few days after the person comes to measure we would receive a call letting us know how much the install would cost. A few days later person came and measured,he said everything looked good and should be just a simple install.Waited for over a week ,no call.Went back to store and was told have been trying to call us but there was no option on our phone to leave a message...NOT correct as have been getting messages all along from others just nothing from Home Depot. Well he then looks it up and tellls us the install will cost almost 900.00...There is NO WAY I am going to pay 900.00 to install a door that costs less than that..We looked at 2 doors previously one for almost 500.00 and one for 700.00...I do understand there is a cost involved to install the door as you are using outside contractors but this is absolutely insane that you would expect people to pay almost 1000.00 to install a door....We have been Home Depot customers for many many years but this has really made us think if this is how your customers are treating how many other times have we been ripped of over the years. Not Home Depot fans any longer.Thank you for your time

I ordered vinyl siding for my house April 18, 2018 and paid $8000 advance that day. On 24th April, there was a personnel from Home
Depot who inspected the house and gave me sheets to prepare for the project. The project was to be completed in the first weeks of June at the latest. It is already middle of July and I do not have even the schedule and no one has been able to give me an update for the last one month.
I had planned to put this house on sale after the siding work by June 15th and finished all other work needed by May 15th., I have been misled by your company and has kept me to stay ready for the project since end of April. Last three weeks, I have been frantically contacting
the manager and service co-ordinator for the update and they have promised and kept mum. I have been caused mental anguish and financial damage and still there is no schedule or estimated time of arrival (ETA) of materials. Please help resolve whatever bottleneck in your organization, This is the worst experience I ever had.

Sincerely,
Varish Panigrahi

Dear Sir,

I have sent you videos of my guttering issue. I also wanted to tell you that:

1. I am a 71 year old Senior Citizen.
2. I paid cash for this guttering @$8,000.00.
3. My old guttering performed better.
4. My first response from your store was the installer came out and cleaned leaves out of the gutter.
5. Which brings me to ask what did I pay all of that money for?
6. Now you tell me that I can't get a breakdown of the prices charged?

Why?

Sincerely,

I HAVE BEEN WITH HOME DEPOT FOR A LONG TIME ALWAYS ENJOYED SHOPPING THERE BUT I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HOME DEPOT RIGHT NOW Just purchased a GE dishwasher JUNE 2018 from HomeDepot doesn't work does not clean the dishes isn't that what a New dishwasher is supposed to do had a serviceman out and they tell me that the New dishwasher needed to new update and I need to get Platinum dish soap I did and still not washing the dishes I called HomeDepot to peck it up .... Home Depot tell me I signed for the product it does not work now it needs Maintenance done on it call SEVICE come on this is a BEAND NEW DISHWASHER !!
I CALL AND TO DOMINIQVE AT CONSUMER SUPPORT SERVICE TOLD HER HOME DEPOT WILL NOT PICK THE DISHWASHER SHE SAID THAT WAS NOT RIGHT THEY SHOULD PICK IT UP IF IT IS NOT WORKING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE ORDERS DELIVERY DATE IF I KEEP THIS DISHWASHER THAT DOES NOT WORK IT WILL NEED MAINTENANCE FOREVER

I purchased a new refrigerator and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday June 28th between the hours of 12 and 4, I waited all day for this delivery and when it came to be almost 5 pm I thought I'd better call the store to see if they are running late. I live on an Air Force Base and the store knew this when I purchased the item. when I called I was told that the delivery Was re-scheduled for Saturday 30 June and I would receive a call telling me what time. the problem is that the delivery people could not pass the gate because I assume they might have had sometype of record. I wasted an entire day waiting around and had already called base housing maintenance to pick up the old refrigerator. I also took everything out of the freezer and put it in cooler bags and coolers. now I will have to waste another day just sitting around waiting for a delivery. The real problem is that the Delivery company NEW ABOUT THIS BUT DID NOT CALL ME. this is one terrible way to do business, What I should have done is went to the local Home Depot as soon as I found out about it not going to be delivered AS PROMISED and canceled the order and went to LOWE'S TO PURCHASE one. I'm guessing you really don not care about this problem but I thought I'd get it off my chest. customer service is probably number 10 on a list of top 10 things.

We purchased a refrigerator for over a thousand dollars and home depot scheduled a delivery date. My wife worked from home to accept it and when they arrived the refrigerator was damaged. We already cut the water/ice line and emptied the old one. They told us we could not accept the damaged goods your stor delivered because it would void the warrantee. now our food is going bad and my wife has to stay home another day. I am so angry I already told ten people not to purchase any appliances from home depot and I plan on telling a hundred more! Why don't you have quality control? You waste your customer's time and don't seem to care!.

Kitchen Remodel Project started over a year ago in June 2017 that included HD Exteriors for installation of 2 new doors, one in kitchen and one in office, and a new window in kitchen.
After months of scheduled and rescheduled inspections, shabby workmanship, multiple on-site visits and patch jobs, change of Project Managers and further delays, HD concluded that the products need to be uninstalled and reinstalled with all new materials. That decision was made months ago and we are still without the new installations, have no date for installation and have not heard from HD with a schedule date.
After multiple schedules and reschedules, time away from work, missed appointments altogether, failed inspections and damage to our kitchen structure as well as embarrassment to our friends and family and related stress, I still do not have what I purchased from HD and am paying big money! Needless to say, not a pleased former customer of HD and will not recommend .

Should be a 0...... Placed a delivery and install, for my business, never showed up. They called telling me no one was here, even though someone is always at our front door. Basically told me my staff is a bunch of lyres. Then to punish us, for there mistake, now we have to wait 5 days before they come back. Worst service ever, we will never order anything from Home Depot again. Good luck on how you run your business into the ground.

I would rate it no stars, but was not able to undo the lite star. I bought a battery for my Grandson's John Deere lawn mower for Christmas. I took the part number to the salesman. They asked for the cord, and I gave them the one that I had taken off the lawn mover. In April my Grandson tried to put battery in the lawn mower and it was the wrong battery, the post were did not fit. So I went to exchange the battery and the girl at the exchange counter said it would be an even exchange and put it back on my credit card. Then I got the right battery and went to pay for it. The sales person wanted to charge me for the cord that I had initially given to Home Depot when I bought the battery in December. So I was sent back to the exchange desk. I asked to speak to a manager, and tried to explain the situation to her. She was very argumentative and talked right over me. The battery cost me $14 more. It was supposed to be an EVEN Exchange. The manager then told me to take my business somewhere else. I just walked away. She then came after me as I was walking away, but I kept walking. I am United States Army Veteran and her lack of customer skills was a disgrace. I did call Corporate and lodged my complaint with a Gentleman that apologized and told me he would take care of it. My received a phone call a day later from the Home Depot store, but she was working and was unable to take the call. She called back when she got out of work. She was told the person that called had gone home. She told them to let them know I was available before 9am and after 5pm. I never heard from them again. That treatment caused me close my account and take my business elsewhere Menards and Lowe's. After all your manager suggested that. I hope the $14 was worth losing a good paying customer.

On April 17th Home Depot counter top installer arrived at our house to install our counter top order that had been placed on March 3rd. As you can see from the dates the wait time was excessive. At the completion of the install, it was discovered the wrong color of solid surface had been ordered and installed. We choose and provided our Home Depot kitchen designer, Mitch, with the sample for "White Granite" and "White Quartz" and been incorrectly ordered.

We have been loyal customers of Home Depot Eagle Idaho for many years; purchasing items for home remodels for over 13 years. Finally after 5 years of waiting we were ready to remodel our home kitchen with great excitement. With visited with the kitchen design team member Mitch several times before placing our final order. We sat across from him and handed him the sample of solid surface "White Granite" that we decided on after looking at many samples. We order our counter tops on March 3, signing the paperwork stating we were hiring Home Depot to do the work.

After this error was discovered we have several conversations with the Eagle Store manager, Kathy. She was unapologetic for the error, told us we had signed the paperwork adn we were responsible. She also said there were 3 opportunities to verify the order, at the time the order was place, when the install company came to measure for the template and prior to installation. At none of these points did anyone ask us to verify the product ordered.

Cathy the manager has told us there is nothing Home Depot can do. I'm shocked that home depot would expect their customers to act as their quality control process. Not once we were asked to verify what had been placed in the computer. During our order Mitch's computer froze up. He suggested we go look around the store and come back in about 15 mintues and he would have our order ready. I suspect it was here where he selected "white quartz" rather than our selection of "white granite".

My wife and I feel utterly betrayed by Home Depot. After many phone calls with Kathy, Eagel store manager, she did offer a $200 compensation credit.
This feels like an insult. We have been planning our kitchen remodel for years and spent a lot of time selecting the product we wanted for our counter tops. The granite has color and the quartz is basically a boring white. It is a choice we would have never selected. This is a heavy disappointment and truley a betrayal by home depot as your loyal customer.

Our ask is to be fully compensated for the counter top material and installation costs. I hope that Home Depot will do the right thing. This error was caused by Home Depot and should not be the responsibility of your customer.

Sincerely,
Frank and Denise Loucks

As an associate at 4930, I was applauded at what happened to a friend. He's retired in the NM area and I frequently help him with his shopping at the HD. Here's what happened when he went to the HD I asked him which store: " It was the Bernalillo store on Rt. 550."

Hi Pete,

"I set out this morning to go to Home Depot, to talk with someone about Cafe Doors. I entered the store, but really didn't know what department could take care of me. I saw an employee (an older gentleman) and asked him where I should go for Cafe Doors. I could see that this question puzzled him so I showed him the picture that I printed out from your e-mail. He said "We don't carry those." I said "I believe that you do because I saw this online." He said "Well, you'll have to go online." Everything that he said was in a very rude tone. I then said "I can see that I'm pissing you off, so I'll just leave." I left the Home Depot and went to Loews. I found the right department and the fellow there said "May I help you?" I said "I'm looking for cafe doors" and I showed him the picture. He said that they didn't carry these in stock but that he could special-order them for me. I asked if he could get a custom size for me and he replied "No problem." He took the time to pull up the information on his computer and showed me the different styles that were available. He was very courteous and I ordered the doors from him. Even though they were a custom size, he said that if they don't fit, or if I don't like them, I could return them.

I kind of knew that Home Depot didn't have them, so all that I really wanted to do was to see if they could order them for me. I'm really lousy trying to order things online. Just last week, I ordered some cabinet pull handles online -- and it was not easy for me. I ordered only two and received and paid for 14. That's why I didn't want to order the doors online -- I'm just not computer savvy.

In any case, I appreciate your help with providing the picture and installation advice."

I did respond to Steve with an apology:

"Steve,
Sorry you had the problem at HD. Yes, just like any place you go there are bad employees!! The store manager of the HD you went to should hear about it.

If you ever run into the problem again with doors or windows, the millwork dept. is the place to go. Yes, a café door isn't stocked but just like Lowes, we special order them. " In fact, if you ever have a online ordering problem again, I can order for you and have it shipped directly to you or your local HD.

I have also attached the picture of the café doors I sent him to get at his HD.

I am boycotting your store until you stop boycotting Laura Ingraham. How dare you! David Hogg is a profane kid who speaks with a filthy mouth denigrating gun owners. He has been funded through the far left, especially by George Soros. The shooting was a tragedy, but it could have been stopped several times--by police, the FBI, the family he stayed with, by counselors and doctors. You and the other businesses make me sick to my stomach. Sick. The boy is having a hard time getting into university because he is very unpleasant. I have a card, but won't use it and will cut it up forthwith. Leftist pigs...all of you. Supporting a 17 yr. old over a Catholic conservative who is highly educated and was a Supreme Court law clerk.
You'll lose A LOT of business!!!!

We signed up for a 2 year no interest no late fee program to reface our kitchen cabinets. After 6 months I received a bill stating if I didn't pay in full we would be accruing interest and late fees. I spent probably 2 weeks of my time trying to reach the right department, with a complete "run around" this person said she was not in charge but this other person was. When I spoke to him, he sent me to the next person round and round till they thought I would give up. I finally got with the right department and faxed over the original contract with the two year info, thinking it was resolved. Another 6 months went by and again same thing, "if you don't pay in full by the end of July 2017 interest and late fees will accrue." This with one more year to go and again I had to go through the same thing all over. This 2 year contract meant nothing to Home Depot it was just a come on so that I would owe them late fees and interest. That is not the worst of it. I visited a family member after my mother's funeral in West Hampton New York. She had the same kitchen refacing on her older cabinets, only much larger floor plan, and more elaborate hardware with glass fronts etc. and only paid a third of what we paid. We were completely overcharge. I am thinking of contacting the Attorney General in the State of Georgia, to see if others were duped into believing they had a two year contract that was pulled from under them and mysteriously changed into 6 months. Also how many others have complained about the overcharging of cabinet refinishing. My cousins for double the space and much nicer was 5,000.00 and ours in Colorado was $12,000.00 Very disappointed in Home Depot, Maria Cocchiarelli-Berger

Last week we ordered an expensive LG French Door refrigerator freezer which we paid cash for.
We were told that it would be delivered today between 1-5.
After securing the food to prevent spoilage as well as possible and getting the old refrigerator ready to be hauled away, we sit home all day without a word.
After calling the manager we were told that he could not get in contact with whomever was supposed to be delivering the refrigerator and a bunch of general nonsense.
Then he told us that it would be delivered on Saturday which is two days away,while our food sits and rots.
After putting some much needed “teeth” into our conversation with him and hanging up and calling the corporate office, the manager called back and stated that he had found the delivery truck in question and our appliance was on it and would be delivered today.
We are still waiting.
The corporate office was no better than he while relating our complaint to them.
Be leery of Home Depot.
You might get your stuff on time or you might not.
I also know of other problems with them that happened with my sister and brother-in-law when having a door installed.

Thanks for your time.

Do NOT buy this carpet. It has lost its pattern in normal wear areas in only 13 months. Home Depot had a new piece tested that rated 3.0(their minimum to deny replacement) after 12,000 hexapod cycles. Their response was it passed the test and they could not help me further. Wrong answer for a $5,000 investment. We have now filed a complaint with the BBB. Not enough room for the whole story.

Council Bluffs, Iowa store: I went to the kitchen dept. and a female employee was seated at the computer with two customers. I assumed they were working on something so wandered around the dept. for some time before going back. Still sitting there so I looked around the store some more. When I returned they were still sitting there but a male employee had joined them. After I stood and stared at them he got up to help me, and we went to the other computer. He was very helpful - the whole time we were researching the three women were still sitting there, DISCUSSING RECIPES! I was beyond disgusted! They were still sitting there visiting when I left. I happen to know that the store manager bends over backwards to please his customers and I felt you should all know about this employee's attitude. I am renovating a house and always shop at Home Depot, but this kind of treatment will send me elsewhere in the future.

Worst customer service! I bought some home appliance to be installed from Home Depot, and I had the worst experience with the installation crew. Up to now the installation crew have not installed my dishwasher, despite the fact that I paid for the full installation of my appliance. My other compliant is on the fact that the carpet crew did a horrible job installing my carpet, due to that there are air pocket in the carpet. I called on several occasions to report my experience with the installation crew. I urge this kind of customer service to be addressed. In the mean time I need my dishwasher to be installed.

I was just in your store in Yuba city, your head cashier is a very rude young man he stood be me and the cashier just staring made me very unsettling.let me go back to the beginning at first he couldn't make change for a 100.00 dollar bill he had to increase here drawer and that took 10min then he made a smart remark because I slid one item over the scanner and he got irate because I did that,you might want to teach these you management kids a little respect and to treat your customers with a little dignity, My husband is a contractor and has used your establishment for as long as you have been open and this is the first time we have ever been treated like this, if this young man (mark) is in there when I am I will not shop I will return at a different time. thank you for you time

Delivery team told me they could not install dishwasher because shutoff valve was in basement even though it was within 6 feet of dishwasher as required by the website. Home Depot customer service confirmed this over the phone and were more than happy to cancel my order rather than attempt to provide any type of assistance, promising a refund in 7-10 business days. Just contacted them after 11 business days to be told my return has not yet been processed and it will be another 24-48 hours from Monday.

Store 3651 E. Greensboro N.C.2912 S. Elm Eugene St. Greensboro N.C. 27406 Salesperson: AJP429 (ANNA)
My complaint: After buying the dryer I needed, she (I think her name is Anna) told me to go to the pick-up door and wait it will be out in 10 mins.
35 mins. later. I see her with a guy, two other ( employee) guys walking the cart with two appliances on it. When they get closer I can hear what her and the guy walking with her where saying. It is at this time I realize why I`ve been waiting so long. During the finalization of my purchase I remembered she told so guy " I`ll be right with you" SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! I waiting long because she felt the guy after me was more important than I . I`ll be honest with you I almost returned it right than and there. But I was on a time restart and had invested to much time already .

Also, when I first arrived to the appliance depart, I`m walking around looking. I picked the one to buy. I look around, don`t see anyone. I walked to the other side where I find two employees sitting doing something on their phones. I asked if they where sales people. No, I`ll call and get you someone. Thanks! I was in the department 10 / 15 min. before the sales people came to help me. And that would be fine if more people than just me was taking up her time. I can not put my finger on it but, did not like her from the beginning.

I usually buy the big stuff at low`s. On this day i just went to the closest store to save the. That was a mistake that will never happen again.
There U have it!

My husband and I ordered a whirlpool gas stove and a ge washer from your Hagerstown MD store on November 1, 2017. Very good customer service from store employees. Delivery was to be made following Wednesday but was not made/no phone call stating a reason. I had to call to reschedule. Appliances delivered November 15. November 17 our gas company was at our house connecting gas range and we realized that there is no bottom to oven!! A week before thanksgiving and I can’t use the oven! We call the local store and were told to call the customer service number. Of course we are put on hold..then we are sent to service, then to parts, back to service, then back to customer service!!! No one would take ownership of this issue - for over an hour. Finally we were told that we would have the part shipped in 7-10 days. We asked that since the part should have been attached when we received the stove and thanksgiving is in a few days, could it be expedited. This kind soul checked with his supervisor and got permission to have it sent by Wednesday (yesterday).

Guess what...it’s Thanksgiving and my oven bottom panel is not here and I am expecting guests for dinner. Needless to say, everyone at my dinner will know the story along with everyone else I know.

I worked as a manager in the public sector so I know what good customer service looks like and when there is little customer service. Your stores try very hard to please the customer but your “customer service department” really needs to learn to take ownership of a problem when they speak with a customer instead of shuffling them from department to department. I don’t even have confidence that the customer service rep even went to his supervisor, but just told us what we wanted to hear to get us off the phone!

I have some Home Depot gift cards that were given to us. Sure wish I could change them to Lowes gift cards.

Approximately March 10, 2017 I purchased a water heater for my home. The following is a summary of what transpired between March 10, 2017 to present:
1. No invoice separating product and labor cost.
2. New Phoenix Enterprises signed contract #3806-372795 as agent of Home Depot. When I asked Home Depot about
New Phoenix Enterprises status as agent reply was do not know. New Phoenix Enterprises worked against Home
Depot's interest by violating POINT 13 of contract.
3. New Phoenix Enterprises committed FRAUD.
4. Kristofer Smith, District Service Manager, discriminated by his unfairness and one-sidedness on by denying cases
07153531 and 06060067.
All I have stated above can be verified by emails and other documents.
