      On 8/15/23 I intended to place an order that amounted to $10,800 and before I placed the order, a banner advertising **'s Credit Card incentive promotion for $100 towards your first purchase was displayed. So I went ahead and filled out the application to receive the $100 incentive. I was approved and then entered my new ** Credit Card number along with the promo code for the new account incentive. The order was placed successfully with the $100 promotion but the transaction declined when processing the order under the new ** credit card. I then had to call ** to place the order again on the same day. I had to break out the order into two separate orders (with the exact same items), but pricing per unit was different for one of the items and shipping fees were applied- which on the original order, the pricing per unit was less and there were no shipping fees. I called ** again and they were able to apply adjustments to ensure that my subsequent orders exactly matched my first order for $10,800, which was great but it did not include the $100 promo credit that was offered on the initial order. I was told by ** that I would have to wait until the first billing statement for the ** Credit team to manually apply the new account opening incentive for $100. I called **'s Credit team on 9/12/23 and spoke with a Manager named ****. I explained the situation and asked for the previously promised and agreed upon account opening incentive for $100 to be applied to my account. She did not honor the request because according to her, discounts were given on my subsequent order even though she understood the discounts were given as a courtesy to match the initial pricing and free shipping that was reflected in my original order. **'s Credit team was deceitful in communicating expectations for this $100 incentive during the credit card registration process and I am unable to determine if this issue is agent specific, process driven, or a representation of how ** conducts business.

      On July 29, 2023 I purchased a riding lawnmower for $3496.94. It was used each Saturday for the following 4 Saturdays for 1 hour each use totaling 5 hours. On September 2, it would not start. I dropped it off at *********** for warranty repair. *** informed me that it looked like Home Depot sold me a used lawnmower as the intake pushrods were bent and the amount of damage was more than what 5 hours of use would have caused. I contacted Home Depot and they said they don't sell used lawnmowers and it must have been user error. I didn't have it long enough to do the amount of damage that *** described. Home Depot should be responsible for the repair.

      I ordered a product for delivery and it was never received. The company claims it was delivered. I have invested a lot of time into calling them, both the store from which the item was shipped, and the main customer ********************** line, and have been told by both that they cant help me and that I have to talk to the other.

      I received my washer and dryer that I paid for back in June. My dryer arrived open and I was concerned because it was delivered without the dryer shoe rack, I called and confirmed with the manufacturer that informed me that it shouldve come with it but that since it was still in the delivery window it was Home Depots responsibility to make things right. *********************** a Universal Specialist at the ************ store reached out to me on behalf of the store, lied to me and strung me along for many months telling me he will make it right and reimburse me the cost of dryer rack since its not an itemized item and has been discontinued. I wholeheartedly believed him, he then ghosted me and an ignored all my calls and emails. He confirmed both verbally over the phone and in writing that he was going to take care of this. Its sad because I spent close to 3k I was expecting quality customer **********************. Now fast forward I have not received a single ***** or the promised credit that I was promised from the store.

      Ordered 14 PGT windows on 8/18/21 from Home Depot to be installed by Home Depot. Order # 1-1W6U4JUJ. Cost $10,210.25. Installed 3/15/22. Many windows looked like seal issues & finish work was unacceptable, so I contacted Project Mgr. on 3/21/22 & sent pics. **************** came to project site on 4/12/22. Identified 6 sashes needed to be replaced & had contractor tidy up some of the caulking and finish. Contractor came on 6/6/22 with 5 sashes of which 1 was broken - only replaced 4. 6/10/22 I discovered another sash that needed replacing & contacted Project Mgr. & sent pics. She said they would order a replacement for that window. On 11/3/22 I was contacted by Contractor to say 3 sashes were in & we set an appt to install on 11/22/22 which they did not show. On 12/13/22, we set up another appt for 12/27/22. I sent text on 12/26 to confirm appt, contractor changed it to 12/30. On 12/30/22, they did not show or call. Installers came 2/16/23 with 3 sashes which did not fit or had issues so they installed 0. Said they would re-order. On 3/3/23, I received an email from Project Mgr stating that they needed to set an appt for *************** to come to house so the Installer could adjust a few windows. I gave her 5 dates to choose from. She said she never received the email so they did not come. Next appt was set for 4/30/23. Installer showed but Project Mgr did not come. When asked what he was there to do, he stated '*****'. He looked at problem windows & stated that kitchen window should also be replaced. On 5/5/23, Project Mgr said sashes were ordered & would update when shipped. Sent email to on 7/19/23 asking for status. Never replied. 8/18/23 I received a call from Installation saying sashes were in & set an appt. for 8/24/23. 8/24/23, Installers came with 3 sashes and installed 2. 1 did not fit. When I asked for update, Project Mgr. says Installers brought & installed 3 & inspected all windows.Job address: **************************** ************, ** *****

As part of the customers warranty, the install team has a service opened and is in communication with the customer to resolve this issue. Install team has requested current pictures showing the additional problems the customer is stating. Was informed that old pictures have been resent.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Project Manager has stated in email that the Installers replaced 3 sashes on the most recent visit which was 8/24/23. They came with 3 sashes but one did not fit so they only replaced 2. The 1st photo was taken on Friday 9/15/23 and is the ************* installed on 3/15/22. After 4 additional visits to the home this one still has not been replaced. I am not sure why this would be considered warranty since it was defective from the factory on the initial install. The 2nd picture also taken on Friday 9/15/23 is of the kitchen window which has a slice in the rubber between the panes. This was looked at by Installer ***** on 4/28/23 & he said it should be replaced & he would have it ordered. Im not sure where the issue is but I am being told by the Project Manager one thing but that is not what has been done. 
      These 2 sashes still need to be replaced.

      I wish to report a traumatic situation with Home Depot regarding the delivery of different sized windows than I agreed to in my signed contract. In February 2023 a Home Depot design consultant came to my house to thoroughly inspect and measure our windows for a quote. We wanted 14 windows replaced and 1 door. I placed the order in March and upon delivery (6 months later), I wanted to check that the windows were as ordered, and thank goodness I did! To my horror all 14 windows were several inches shorter and narrower than detailed in the signed contract, about which I was never notified! The worst part is how I have been treated in trying to resolve this matter!I have attached a number documents. The first is a complaint letter that I sent to Home Depot in an attempt to resolve the situation. This contains the contract and all text messages/emails between myself and the design consultant. Apologies in advance for the length but it contains as much information as I have.Previous to me sending this letter, Home Depot were telling me that they "had a contract to install the windows" and would seek payment in full ($34,842.35).Their response to my complaint letter (that I received on Friday 1st Sept), is also attached. They are now stating that they are cancelling the contract due to "pre-existing wood rot" and that I owe them for costs incurred to date, which amounts to $14,293.86, of which I have already paid $7308.30 as a deposit. The main reason that I was getting my windows replaced was due to their rotting frames.In addition, after multiple requests throughout the process, they finally sent me (on 09/05/23) the dimensions of the windows that were delivered, that I have also attached. As you can see, what was delivered was not what I was sold or signed for in the contract (except for the sliding door) and I was never made aware of any changes to the dimensions.It would be fantastic to get your opinion on where I stand and potential pathways forward.

      RE: *********************** / BBB CASE#: 20588419

      Dear **************,

      We acknowledge the receipt of the BBB CASE#: 20588419
      On behalf of The Home Depot, I apologize for any inconveniences experienced, as it relates to shopping with our company. 
      The Home Depot has carefully reviewed and investigated this matter and offers the following in response to your concerns. The Home Improvement Agreement between **************** and Home Depot states the Agreement may be terminated by Home Depot at Home Depots convenience. Furthermore, the Agreement states that if you fail to provide safe access, then you will pay Home Depot for services and costs incurred through the date of termination. Additionally, due to the pre-existing condition of wood rot, it has been determined that Home Depot will be unable to proceed with the installation. We discussed his wood rot that was existing and why we cannot proceed after reviewing the further pictures. **************** stated that he would outright refuse any installation that did not have 29 windows, unfortunately his openings only allowed for 27 windows.. Post measure, **************** stated the only reason why he went with us was that they were 29 windows on the sales contract and that he had several other companies out that would only install 27 inch windows, I told him unfortunately that the 29 windows would not fit into his existing openings and that we do not modify openings. **************** also requested full frame new construction windows installed and believed the order to be that type we also confirmed that his HOA would not allow that type of window to be installed. The total cost of the windows to Home Depot is $14,293.86, and he has a deposit of $7,308.30. At this time, we will be retaining the full deposit for ****************** order.
      With that said, we have addressed the customers concern and consider this matter resolved.
      Please know that 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. Please contact me if you have any questions.

      Complaint: 20588419

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I am deeply disheartened by this response and more so by the trauma that Home Depot (**) continue to put me and my family through. This is not a true account of what happened!!

      My exact request was to replicate a specific ******** window that was installed in our house in 2019. The design consultant took the Product ID of this existing window and used it to ensure the correct model and sizes were specified in the agreement. He confirmed this was the case through numerous emails that I attached to my original complaint letter. These were ******** 400 replacement casement windows that are designed for easy window replacement from inside or outside, per the ******** 400 series product guide. All conversations (totaling almost 2 hours) with the design consultant were focused on replacing our current windows from the outside, which results in a wider opening once the current insert is removed.This is evidenced by the fact that we already have the existing ******** window in our house that was installed in this exact manner. The design consultant measured this window while I was there, and his measurements were 29 width.THIS IS WHAT I WAS SOLD, AGREED TO, AND SIGNED FOR IN THE CONTRACT! It is this very reason why I will not accept or pay for 27 width windows. We did not approve this material change to the contract, which was consistently applied to every window without our knowledge. If we were at any point notified about this, we would not have proceeded with the job as the result is windows that are drastically different in size, look and style to our existing setup.

      Regarding the other suppliers, it is simply not true that they would only install 27 width windows! I wanted exact matches to the ******** 400 window that I already have installed, which the other suppliers (Pella & Renewal by ********) told me that I would have to contact an ******** windows retailer/installer. ** was the first and only ******** windows retailer/installer that I spoke with in relation to this job. This is clearly detailed in my complaint letter.

      In addition, the design consultant and another 3 installation specialists visited our home throughout the sales process where our windows were thoroughly inspected, as per ** procedure. Not one of them mentioned that the pre-existing wood rot posed a problem for replacement of the windows detailed in the signed agreement. The wood rot in my windows is contained within the current window inserts and does not pose any additional risk to access or safety. ** also states on their website that Installing replacement windows will add beauty, value, and energy efficiency to your home. New custom windows can replace rotting frames or sashes, balky or broken hardware, or damaged window frames. I find it extremely concerning, and worthy of further investigation, that this only became an issue after I found out that incorrect windows had been delivered, and my complaint had been formerly lodged with Home Depot!

      The most frustrating factor in all of this is that I extended multiple offers for the ** area installation and sales managers to visit my home, look at my existing ******** window, and discuss resolution to this matter. All requests were declined! I do not consider this matter closed, and I would still welcome any ** representative to visit, measure my existing ******** 400 window, and tell me that it has a 27 width. I assure you that it does not! Failing this, and as stated in my original BBB complaint the only item that I am willing to discuss covering **s expenses for is the sliding door, as it was manufactured to the correct and agreed upon specifications in the contract.

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 20588419

      I am rejecting this response because:

      At last!!! After almost 3 months of letters, phone calls, emails and complaints, Home Depot have finally taken the time to investigate this situation and have determined that multiple errors were made along the way to them delivering the wrong windows! I am glad that they finally looked into it and that they are refunding my money. However this is not good enough!

      Not only did Home Depot hold almost $8,000 of my money for the past 9 months, send me letters about perusing additional funds, cause me a huge amount of stress in having to deal with this, and have wasted 9 months waiting for much needed window replacements that have now not materialized; I have also had to take unnecessary time off work and pay for legal advice, which all could have been avoided if they had properly looked into and addressed it in the first place. When all of this is added up, it equates to well over $1,000 of costs that I am now out of pocket!

      I am deeply disappointed by the way I have been treated throughout this whole ordeal by what I used to think was a very reputable company! In order to put a close to this matter and have any attempt at rebuilding my confidence in this business, I expect compensation for the time and money that I have spent on this ordeal over the last 9 months.

      I anticipate Home Depots response and look forward to being able to put this horrendous experience behind me once and for all!

      I placed an online order via my ProXtra account. The order was scheduled for delivery on 09/02/2023. On the day of the delivery I received an email that the delivery was a missed delivery meaning no one was available to receive the order; which wasnt the case. I promptly contacted the store and was told that the truck had come by at 11:15 am and no one was available. I informed them that this wasnt the case and that the truck had never come by. They then gave me a number to contact which connected me to thehomedepot.com staff who told me my issue needed to be handled by the store. After being reconnected to the store again I was told the the delivery truck didnt have room for my order and it wouldnt be able to be completed on the scheduled date. Due to deadlines placed by the homeowner I was forced to send guys to pick the order up in store, which cost my company hours of labor and stalled the job completion. I was also told by the store I would be given a refund for the delivery fee which hasnt been reflected on my ProXtra credit card statement.

      This is regarding theft - I have come to submit a complaint here because I have spent hours on the phone repeatedly being placed on hold trying to resolve this issue with little to no resolution. I have a Home Depot Pro Extra Account where I purchase materials with an authorized credit card that is kept on file and is picked up and brought to job sites by installers. I am the ONLY authorized user on the Pro Account. Recently I went online to look back at a recent purchase history and started noticing that there had been a bunch of returns done on my account and that Home ********************** was giving out "Gift Cards" for these returns going back to 2021. Once I started going through the history I noticed there are thousands of dollars of gift cards that have been issued for returns. The problem here is that none of these returns were done by me and these gift cards have all been handed out to someone who has been apparently stealing extra materials from my jobsites and making returns to Home Depot in exchange for gift cards. If Home Depot is able to to connect the items returned to my account such that I can see all of them when I log in, and is able to see that all purchases have been made with an authorized credit card stored on file in my Pro Account, there is no valid reason why they should be so carelessly handing out gift cards to a person not listed as an authorized user on the account. This shows an extreme disregard for customer protection and is essentially sanctioned theft. Home Depot gets their product back while allowing a person who did not pay for the items to walk away with thousands in gift cards in their name!! Those with a Pro Account are usually spending many thousands of dollars a year and this corporation owes its customers a duty of care and a basic level of protection for the account holder when handling returns. They essentially have a system that is ripe for theft and the store managers seem to look the other way.

      I purchased a refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher from home depot. The delivery team for Home Depot has made damaged to my walls. The team also installed the dishwasher incorrectly cause damage to my cabinet. The team delivered a damaged refrigerator I then had to wait almost a week for a new one. The problem was when they came to deliver the fridge they left it in my garage and refused to delivery it to my kitchen. I had to call a moving company and it cost me 300 to bring in the refrigerator into my home. I called customer ********************** and was told I need to file an insurance claim which makes sense for the damaged wall but not for the money Im out to pay someone else for the job Home Depot was suppose to do. I repeatedly asked for the delivery charge to be reimbursed for me which company denied to. I paid for a full installation and delivery and what I receive was nothing like what I paid for. I also paid for a microwave which they refuse to install My order number is Order #WG41276991. I also keeping a dented stove since I dont want this delivery company in my home anymore. Home Depot was no help so Im asking BBB to step in and help. A major store like this shouldnt take advantage of their customers please help. I wasnt able to find a Home Depot in my city so I selected the main Home Depot address. I have the receipt from the moving company but unable to upload it.
