Home Depot

Are you ordering a large, heavy item like a vanity? They will drop it off at your home without any notice, or delivery arrangements. You are expected to move it into your home yourself, which would be possible if you knew it was coming and got extra help. This lack of a phone call from Home Depot to arrange delivery will now cost me $600 to have movers pick it up and deliver it to my 5th floor condo. The store manager was kind enough to give me a $200 credit, not knowing that my cost will be $600. I would not recommend purchasing anything heavy, online from Home Depot.

Rating: 1/5

As a long-time patron of Home Depot, I never anticipated that my first online purchase experience would be such a debacle. Unfortunately, it was an absolute disaster from start to finish, leaving me deeply disappointed and frustrated.

Let's start with the online platform itself. Navigating through their website felt like trying to untangle a mess of wires in a dark room. The display was cluttered and confusing, making it difficult to find what I needed without endless scrolling and clicking. It was a stark departure from the ease and convenience I've come to expect from Home Depot's in-store experience.

But the real nightmare began once I completed my purchase. Despite assurances of efficient logistics, the reality was a far cry from it. My order was supposed to be ready for pickup in just five days, but a shocking 34 days later, I was still left empty-handed. Multiple calls to various store representatives only added insult to injury. Not only were they unhelpful, but they were also downright rude, as if customer service was a concept foreign to them.

The lack of communication was particularly shocking. Had I not reached out, it's frightening to think that Home Depot might have never bothered to inform me that my order hadn't even reached the store. This blatant disregard for customer satisfaction is simply unacceptable.

In conclusion, my inaugural online shopping experience with Home Depot was nothing short of a nightmare. From the chaotic website to the abysmal customer service and logistical failures, it was a perfect storm of incompetence. Regrettably, I have no choice but to swear off online purchases from Home Depot indefinitely. If this is the standard they uphold, then they've lost a loyal customer for good.

Finally when I was able to speak with an online rep. They were able to cancel my order.

Several of our cabinets arrived damaged and luckily we have someone installing who could make repairs. However, it wasn't until half way thru our project (an entire kitchen & 10ft island) we discovered they sent us the wrong measurements on the island cabinets. It took a month to receive the correct ones. We were left with 2 cabinets that had been modified (prior to realizing they made an error in measurements). Home depot is demanding the altered cabinets be returned if we don't agree to keep & pay for them at a 25% discount. We have had no functional kitchen for over a month because their cabinet dept. openly admitted to GUESSING our island measurements because someone was out sick. This is unacceptable customer service. We have already spent over $40K to home depot for this house project & I find it disgusting they are trying to screw us over for 2 altered cabinets because they home depot says they'll be paid for the cabinets regardless. I feel sick I ever spend a dollar here but it is the last time. We'll take our business & contactor business account elsewhere. Not a single red cent coming from me to this disgraceful business. Go to Lowes everyone! Also, they took a year to fix my parents cabinets in their palm springs home, so it's really a company issue. The worst.

Bought a fridge but they refused to pick up my old one because they said that the purchase doesn't qualify as an appliance...
This is taken from their FAQ on their website:
''Will The Home Depot haul away my old appliance?
Yes! But the haul-away item must be equal to the item being delivered (e.g. Dishwasher for a dishwasher). ''
They also didn't give 24h notice for the delivery (they didn't give any notice). Customer service was rude and barely spoke any English.

HomeDepot Seattle/Bellevue is very poor in customer service and Delivery. Each year that past several years I have ordered a big order of yard supply products. *Homedepot changed the delivery service company that they use and now instead of delivering on one flat truck load they want to delivery with two box trucks and charge for the delivery twice. The thing is they are calling from the Bellevue location and do not know anything about Seattle. At the end of the day - They are trying to do a money grab. The homedepot delivery Route Manager simply does not care about customers or customer service. O.K. - - maybe Lowes deserves my business instead.

They Cannot even give you a 4 hour window, for when delivery happens until 6:00 the evening before - Essentially holding your entire day hostage until the night before - Had I known this I would not have bought here - I am so disappointed with these big box stores - Home Depot and Lowes wil not get any further fuiture business from me - Ace Hardware, where they understand how to treat customers will be my newest best friend. For my Refrigerator and Dishwasher purchases, Famous Tate will get that business!

I attempted to order a rather expensive large pot for syruping. I placed the order early on a Friday afternoon. Based on the order, I was expecting to receive the item on Monday. On Monday I received notification that the item was on backorder. After a week, it was still on backorder so I attempted to cancel the order. There was no way to do this online and 2 attempts to call were unsuccessful so I had to wait for 6 weeks until it auto canceled. Here are the major issues:
1. It's really inexcusable that there site is listing an item as available if it's not. Assuming that maybe it was available when I ordered, there is no excuse to ignore my order for 3 days and let it go on backorder.
2. It's also inexcusable that this company held my money hostage for 6 weeks.
I will never order from Home Depot again nor will I visit their stores. I will choose to pay more at Ace Hardware or use Amazon.

Call to East Haven Home Depot four times this morning to ask a question whether they provide free delivery of appliances twice I was put on hold and twice I would talk to someone who eventually hung up or didn't answer. So far I've wasted 20 minutes of my time to ask a simple question if this is how they do business I don't wanna do business with them here. I'm 78 years old I'm legally blind so I can't go on the website and read every detail and they have her in there it seems that talking to a human person is impossible. If this is how they work, I don't wanna work with them. I'll buy my appliance at Lowe's or I know that they have free delivery appliances.

I ordered a free standing bathtub from home depot on 1/24/2024. When I attempted to track the shipment I could not get any information - it was unavailable. The delivery date moved from 2/5 to 2/8. I texted support and they told me that the tub had not even been delivered to the delivery warehouse and they could not give a delivery date. This is a standard size tub so I am not understanding why it takes this long. I have a contractor waiting for this delivery to move forward with the bathroom remodel. THis is unacceptable and it seems they are lying about the 2/8 delivery.

Order placed AT pro-desk yesterday. Delivery scheduled for today. 1230 pm, delivery made. With missing items- identified by driver and myself.
Called store, Pro-desk would not schedule delivery of missing items. ASM Jessica said re-delivery in 2 days, I pay ANOTHER delivery fee, reimbursable.
It is 70 miles round-trip to this store. I refused and escalated complaint to Customer Care.
Lowes is 37 miles from me...guess where I am shopping in the future.

I ordered an entire set of kitchen appliances on November 13 2023. Refrigerator, range, microwave, dishwasher, etc.… We are Building a kitchen around the appliances and need them installed. However the promised December 9 install date came and they called and said it would be pushed back until January. 15th! I called and told them that was in acceptable and then they assured me it would be delivered December 30. So, I rescheduled my kitchen build. Again. Two days before that delivery date, I received another message stating it was going to be delayed until January 30th!? I called and went to a local store and was livid. They told me it was the range that was on backorder, and Samsung will not ship anything but the entire order even though everything else is in stock. I told him that was unacceptable, I'm literally wasting hundreds of dollars in labor every time they don't show up. So, again they assured me it would be delivered January 9th. Again, I rescheduled my kitchen install and guess what!? Today I receive an email stating it will be February 13th! I even cancelled the range from the order so they would actually ship it but nope. Still can't meet their commitment. Now They of course promise it will be next Tuesday. I doubt it. In fact; I will pay double for the whole package if they actually make that date, but they won't. They keep passing the buck to Samsung but I didn't buy anything from Samsung, I bought from Home Depot and they are acting totally unaccountable for this debacle. Do not buy from Home Depot. This was a Tremendously frustrating and expensive mistake. I will be demanding a refund and going elsewhere. I can literally swim to South Korea faster than they can ship me a refrigerator!? 3 months of empty promises and wasting my time is enough. I'm done with this dump.

Was told someone would call me the day before my dryer was supposed to be delivered to pick a good time. That never happened at all and all I got was a text stating a time they would show up. Customer service was horrible and they said they can't change the time at all and more or less I was crap out of luck.

My experience with ordering from Office Depot was excellent. I never had a problems with my orders. My orders were always delivered when they say they would.

I literally spent twelve thousand dollars with these people went a tornado. At the end of my job, I need to do a return on things that I bought that I didn't use and all they want to do is fight with me and not take care of me. I will not return to home depot I will spend my money with lowe's

I ordered through online order 4 shower hoses on February 29. I have had a promise order will be ready in 5 days. Now, after almost 2 weeks, still have items in transit for delivery to the store.

My craftsman 8" Pole saw bar became bent and I could not find any bars to fit it. I ordered one and it was not the matching one and no one seemed to have one. I decided to go and purchase a new Pole saw attachment and found the RYOBI one which seemed better and was a 10". As I came home and started to use it, the motor base I was using gave out and had to purchase a new one. I went out and bought the RYOBI one as well. Both machines did a terrific job for me and am very happy I decided to make this purchase

This is my second review of the Home Depot Seeds program. Why two? In my opinion, folks need to be warned about this program. I received an invitation to participate in a program where Home Depot would send me products to use and then write a review on. In return, I could keep the product. Normally, I would not look twice at such a program, but given the excellent reputation of Home Depot, I decided to give it a try. Bad decision! Some two weeks after selecting the product I would review, brown rubber mulch, the product had not arrived, but emails from the Home Depot seeds program filled my inbox, reminding me that I owed them a review. I replied several times, telling them that the product had never arrived. Finally, it did show up, and I tested it and wrote my review with before and after photos. The review went live the next day. BUT I kept getting emails saying my review was due. And they continued; this morning, I got another one warning me that I was about to lose my affiliation with the Seeds program if the review was not written. Really, Home Depot? So, unless you are ready for this type of experience, my advice is to delete their offer as soon as you see it. These seeds produce nothing but frustration.

I have had several windows installed by Home Depot and I went for the more expensive ones because there was a lifetime warranty. The top of the arch of the window developed a big gap - this is not a caulking issue. Rain comes in! I have called and called and called and I get promises but NO ONE EVER COMES TO EVEN LOOK AT THE WINDOW MUCH LESS FIX IT! I began contacting Home Depot in November 2023 and as I write this, it is the end of February 2024 and they still haven't even LOOKED at it. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Do not buy windows from this company!

I was in home depot for 30 min before someone could help me. No one on the isles anymore, and it's all self checkout. What happened? It has gone so far down hill. Plants are SO over priced. Guess I'm moving over to Lowes.

I used a home depot credit card powered by Citibank to make a purchase with a promotional coupon that would allow me to make the purchase interest free for a certain number of months based on the amount of the purchase. On October 16,2023 I called in to Home Depot because I could no longer see my payment allocations online and they needed to adjust some of the purchases as a wrong time frame was assigned to them. Thereafter I could not see the payment allocation page on the promotional balances nor the actual line items for the promotional balances online. I knew I had payments that needed to be made before March 16,2024, so I called on March 15,2024 to do this over the phone as I had no way to do this online and make sure it would be done. I spoke to someone (in India I presume based on their accent) I made the payment over the phone in the amount of $772.08. I had the representative read out to me on a recorded line each line item that the payment was going to. I then confirmed what would happen with payments going forward because again I could not see or allocate anything online. He confirmed it would go to the next balance due starting with May 16,2024 line item. When I received my next statement it showed that all of the deferred interest had been charged even though I made the payment. I called Home Depot (today 11:00am EST) spoke to the first person in India, who told me they could do nothing for me, asked to speak to someone above her, spoke to another person in India, she wouldn't do anything about this. Spoke to the next higher up who told me they were in TN but would not give me a town or her last name or a confirmation number for the call her name was Lisa, she removed the deferred interest charge of $584.71 (which was correct) but informed me that unless I made an additional payment of $254+ that that amount would be apart of my revolving balance and would now accrue interest monthly in the amount of 25.99% apr. I was given no recourse to fix this problem, I asked to speak to someone higher and I got to Ms. Giles out of Idaho, she told me she could not do anymore for me now was there another higher person to speak to. She directed me to Fax or mail a letter to Executive Response Unit Home Depot Team at *******858 or P.O. Box 9058, Gray, TN *******. Of which I plan to do. I do not care how they manage this on their end only that I will not be charged 25.99% apr on the additional revolving balance of $254+. I asked how I would make this payment in the future if I had the funds to do so and she said to do that I would need to remove the existing payment allocation plan (because i cannot do this myself online any longer for this card, which would mean trusting them to actually do what they say they will do and not make any further mistakes which I do not) make the payment and then reset up the payment allocation plan. They offered no other recourse.

Very satisfied with customer service, with the help on the floor and the person that helped to put our purchase in the van, but absolutely frustrated with the people working in the rental area, we were there on Sunday morning, we paid for our sink and vanity to pick up on Monday morning after booking the van with the rental area, which required 24 hours for the booking, the person working there could not get in the system, he said he would leave a note for the other people in the morning. When we went on Monday morning there was no van reservation, we mentioned the note from the other guy, the guy on Monday said it was not valid and to reserve the van it had to be done on line only, after arguing for a while, he went to ask someone and finally he gave us the van.
When we returned the van, I asked him why they didn't have a sign specifying the booking had to be on line only, then, he contradicted himself saying it could be done in the store 24 hours before also, which is what we had done to begin with, after that he just went around and around with one twist after another.
My complaint is that they don't know how to use the system and they get confused with bookings online and booking in the store. In the meantime if we would have not gotten the van, we would have had to pay the plumber for nothing, because he was coming that same morning with nothing to install. The store was 5125 126 ave.
Thank you

I paid Home Depot to install flooring in the contract it states all pad and tack strips will be glued. Thier installers came and stapled and nail into my radiant heat pipes. I informed the store and Customer Service through various methods each time pushed off to someone else. It has been 6 days and I still have not gotten a single rep to schedule an appt to come assess the damage. They are also so far refusing to refund me for the carpet I had to rip out myself to stop it from continuing to damage my house (as it is wet) or for the money I paid to have it install even though it was not done to the contract. I have told them repeatedly to please come see the damage and I can not get any help.

NEVER AGAIN will I purchase any item from Home Depot. I ordered a GE washer/dryer unit for a rental property in August—over a span of 1.5 months, 3 deliveries were made with the product severely damaged each time. One of those times, delivery crew damaged the pipes and walls AND threatened my tenants. There was a 4th attempt at delivery but the delivery crew failed to wait for the 15-min window and left without completing delivery. Unbelievably awful experience and so I will never shop at Home Depot again.
