      I ordered a gas range and microwave (#WP36018134) on May 27 that was picked up for a return in June. Despite MANY very, very, very long and frustrating phone calls over the last 2 months on this and several other awful Home Depot appliance purchase experiences and promises of cases being created to solve the issue nothing has been resolved. They still owe me $2144.55. They only JUST refunded an additional (and only a portion of) another $1407.71 this morning for a different appliance order after my umpteenth call to them. They STILL owe me a portion of that refund. Some reps are helpful while others are incompetent. Requests to speak with managers are met with managers putting you on hold, never actually speaking with you, then routing you through to their after call survey. There is no way to directly contact an online manager. Their behavior is fraudulent and I want my money back immediately.

      Home Depot Date 07/06/2022 10:07 AM $3,741 purchase amount I purchased carpet to be installed, Briarmoor Dignified (23). However once the carpet arrived with the installers, it was clearly the incorrect carpet. So I went back to the store with the installer and verified it was not the correct carpet. They sold me Dignified Palisades ***** Carpet. They didn't accept the responsibility of their error and tried to blame the Carpet Pro's (the Installers) and that they inputted the incorrect information. I validated that it was obviously the Home Depot error. They told me that there would be a job cancellation fee and restocking fee for this error. I disputed it because it was not my error. I wanted the Briarmoor Dignified (23) carpet installed. I was told that it would be a significant price increase from what I had already paid and was quoted. So I asked to speak to ***************** **** came out and said he would talk to his Manager. A few minutes later my wife informs me that someone had left a voice message with heavy breathing. I called it back and it was the Carpet Pro's #. Home Depot is only offering me to Cancel Order, Pay the difference, or install the carpet that was ordered.I refused those options because that is not the carpet I wanted and quoted for. I want the carpet I wanted Briarmoor Dignified installed without paying more or less.I called Home Depot Corp (Case#********) and they called the store and they told the service line the same 3 options. Not even considering the inconvenience of this whole process, moving furniture twice, getting time off for the installation, and being harrassed with heavy breathing phone calls from the installers.

      RE: *********************/ BBB Complaint#: 17700796 

      Dear **************, 

      On behalf of The Home Depot, I apologize for any inconvenience our customer may have experienced regarding their carpet installation.

      The Home Depot has carefully reviewed and investigated this matter and offers the following in response to your concerns. The customer purchased their carpet quote but refused the carpet when the installers arrived to complete the job.Upon their visit to return the carpet to the local store, Home Depot offered to compensate the customer for the inconvenience and waive the standard 15%restocking fee. The store team advised the customer they would have to pay for the difference in the cost as the carpet they wanted was $55 more per square yard than the carpet they purchased; ********************* refused this offer. The customer received two quotes before ******************, one for $15 per square yard and another for $22 per square yard; they opted for the least expensive.

      Upon further consideration, to make things right for the customer, our District ******************** Manager offered the following options:

      1.    Home Depot would provide the carpet the customer wants and honor the more expensive bid for $22 a square yard; only a $7 increase versus the $55 per square yard price. Home Depot would also waive the restocking fee and additional trip charge

      2.    The customer could select a more affordable carpet, and Home Depot would offer the same compensation of the higher $22 per square yard quote that the customer did not purchase

      3.    Home Depot could offer a full refund, pay the associated restocking fee/trip charge

      On 8/17/2022, the Store Manager met with the customer to discuss their options.The customer chose a new carpet, the store adjusted the price to match the more expensive bid previously offered, and Home Depot advised the customer the changes to their project resulted in a balance due. The Store Manager also promised to provide a gift card as the customer mentioned it was previously offered.

      As of 8/19/2022, the local store is waiting on the customer to settle their account. Once ********************* pays the balance due, Home Depot will order the newly selected carpet and proceed with the installation.

      With that said, we have addressed the customers concern and are working to fully resolve this matter.

      Please know it is The Home Depots goal to satisfy all our customers with the products and services that we provide. The Home Depot values its customers patronage and looks forward to servicing their future home improvement needs. If you have any questions, please contact me.

      I purchased a new Maytag washer from The Home Depot in February 2020, and also purchased their Home Depot Protection Plan for 3 years which is set to expire in February of 2023. I have had nothing but issues from this washer from the beginning. While still under Maytag manufacture warranty, Maytag sent out repair companies to fix my washer. Twice because the washer just quit working, completely losing power. Also another time due to a grinding noise. However, recently in May of 2022 right after Memorial Weekend the washer quit working with no power AGAIN for the 3rd time. I called Maytag and they told me my manufacture warranty expired and directed me to my Home Depot Protection Plan for further assistance. I called the Protection Plan through Home Depot and requested I be refunded my money for the was because after so many breakdown reoccurrences for the same issue, I felt as this washer was a Lemon and would prefer to replace it, not including how many days I've had to call off work to wait for repair men every time a breakdown happened. The Home Depot stated in order to consider the washer a lemon they would need to come out and try to repair the issue again and if it happened again then they could consider replacing/refunding. Well, they came and repaired it in May 2022 and now again in August 2022, it has again broke down due to the same issue for the 4th time. So I called yesterday, 8/10/22, to hopefully get this washer either replaced or refunded and apparently they sent me an email on June 5th after my last repair and they terminated my protection plan saying they fulfilled all obligations. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Home Depot only came out once to repair my washer, the other times were through MAYTAG themselves. This washer is definitely a LEMON and I deserve to be refunded so I can purchase a new washer. This has been the worst customer experience I have ever been given, when I purchased a 3 year protection plan, I would expect to be covered until the expiration.

      We ordered a GE dishwasher and GE refrigerator from Home Depot in July. When they arrived together, the dishwasher was clearly broken (dented and had a hole in it), as pointed out by the delivery men. They recommended rejecting the delivery of the dishwasher, which we did. I had to call Monday morning and order a new one - and then wait around a week later for the second delivery.The refrigerator, however, looked visibly okay so they installed it. Told us it would take at least 24 hours for it to get cold. After 24 hours it seemed cold and was making ice. We purchased replacement food (we lost all our frozen meat during the time it took to replace our old one) and filled the refrigerator. Within 2 days the freezer stopped getting cold and the ice maker stopped working. We lost all our newly purchased frozen food, again.Called Home Depot, they connected me with GE who said they could notsend a replacement without having a repairman come out first. And the closest appointment was in week and a half. I said that's not acceptable, the product they sent was clearly broken. We have family staying with us with small children, as well as our own young kids - we need a working refrigerator. I asked them if they refuse to replace,then please send an emergency repairman sometime this week (literally sometime in the NEXT FIVE DAYS) if that's the only option.GE said that sending repairman next week was the best they could do and HUNG UP. I called Home Depot back and have spent hours and hours on the phone with them but there's no other resolution. I have now resolved myself to the fact that the only option is living without a working refrigerator for the next few weeks.The products Home Depot sent were clearly already broken coming off the truck, we just were lucky on the dishwasher that the delivery men could see the damage on the dishwasher before they installed it.We want a replacement WORKING refrigerator as well as a COMPLETE refund.

      Home depot installed 3 windows and left caulking on the outside of all of them. One screen was bent. The window in the bathroom is broken at the bottom. They also took down two shutters and cracked both of them putting them back. There were 2 people came out. The last one said they would call to fix them. They have never called.

      Frigidaire microwave purchased & paid for in full 5/28/22 & delivered/installed incompletely 6/13/22. The microwave had several dents in the stainless trim (which I believe were pressure dents secondary to mishandling during installation) & was not connected to the exterior vent as requested/expected. Damage noted by installers on paperwork & reported to HD immediately.Waited for a new microwave which was not delivered until 7/18/22. Reported the "pressure" dents appeared to have "popped out" since the initial, incomplete install & told delivery crew that, if it could be done w/o damage to existing micro, they could connect external vent & NOT replace the unit (fearing the new unit could have even worse issues)What a mistake! The micro was pulled down & vent connected. However, unit was reinstalled crooked/unlevel & slanting to the right. The right side was not even seated in bent installation bracket Examination of exposed mounting plate revealed it was either installed unlevel or slipped during removal of unit to attach to vent. My tile contractor cannot install (scheduled 8/15/22) the backsplash UNTIL this installation is corrected. There is at least a full 1/2 inch slant to microwave which is visually apparent to all who examine. Install was level when initially completed 6/13/22. The micro suffered cosmetic damage each time it was handled by HD installers. Immediately notified HD of shoddy installation. Appt was confirmed for 7/21/22 to reinstall correctly. Despite ************ confirmations HD delivery/install NO Showed! Rescheduled for today, 8/10/22. Appt confirmed by ************. HD delivery/install NO Showed! Home Depot had 2 months & 3 opportunities to fix this. Now I have to pay a local appliance *** to attempt ****************** for structural damage or lose $250 deposit for backsplash install cancellation. Have corroborating **************** all sent to HD. Spent wasted hours on phone/chat w/customer support w/ no resolve.

Store leadership confirmed timeframe with towing company who have agreed to refund customer towing fees back to customers ********************** card.

      Home Depot team contacted me on Aug 17 for this case with the commitment on refund and gift card. I've received the gift card sent by Home Depot directly on Aug 21th, but I haven't received the credit card refund from the towing company.

      Home Depot Store manager called me on Aug 21 when I was driving on highway but we just talked less than 1 minute, then he called me on Aug 20 mentioned refund. He agreed to call me before Aug 26.

      So please keep this ticket open till the full credit card refund received
