Ordered and paid for a refrigerator on August 7 2023, was scheduled for delivery and install on Aug 11th. was told never received the product from manufacture, got a texted message that they received and rescheduled for Aug 12th (my uncles funeral) NEVER showed. I went to the store, I was told at the end of the day my refrigerator was on the truck. Rescheduled for Aug 15th. Meanwhile my old one is leaking water. Today Aug 14, they never received the refrigerator from the manufacture. I canceled order and found an appliance dealer that has it in stock and can be installed on Aug 17th. However, I need the refund from Home Depot to purchase, my check has already cleared the bank.Business Response

On behalf of The Home Depot, I apologize for any inconvenience our valued customer may have experienced with their purchase with our company.
The Home Depot has carefully reviewed and investigated this matter and offers the following in response to your concerns. Upon review, there was an inspection done by a 3rd party inspector who concluded that he could not determine if the flooring was pulled up entirely as the inspector was given the address of the customers home, not where the business where the flooring was installed. Inspector noted that there would be no way to prove that the customer took up all the flooring, unless there is a physical appearance at the location the flooring had been installed. Inspector also noted that the customers installer is to check materials before install, because once it is installed, it is acceptable to the customer.

We received a $50 gift card for Christmas. My husband tried to use it in-store on April 27th, but the cashier wasn't able. The adhesives that hold the gift card to the cardboard sleeve melted and obscured some of the parts.He took it to customer ********************** and an employee tried to help make the *** # visible by pulling back the film over the card number. It didn't help, since no *** # seemed to be printed there at all. A manager was called, and said that if theres no ***, the card cant be used. I provided the card number (**** ****** ****** *******) to customer support and they stated there was a $0 balance. We were never able to use the card (since it didn't have a *** printed and the store wouldn't accept it), so it certainly wasn't us. I escalated and spoke to ***** in customer support. They verified that the balance was used for 2 online purchases in Nov. This was before we even received the card (which came seemingly untouched in its cardboard sleeve) as a gift in Dec. I provided the email addresses and phone #s of my parents (who purchased the card) and ***** confirmed that they did not make the purchases either. Since the balance was spent before we received the card, and the purchasers of the card also did not use it, I'm led to believe it was gift card fraud. I was told that I had reached the top of support and nothing further could be done. After escalating to 5 different people, Im at a standstill b/c my mother didnt keep a receipt from Dec. and likely paid for the card in cash. But my parents are still out $50. I don't think it is unreasonable to re-issue this amount in a working gift card, given the information provided. I can only assume this occurred before my mother purchased the card or is part of some other, overarching issue where gift card numbers are being compromised remotely. HD is unable to provide the name/address of the person who DID use the card online, which would undoubtedly prove that were victims of fraud and clear all this up.Business Response

I bought bags of concrete from home depot and a couple of guys helped load them into my black inside and out infinity. I laid plastic in the back before any was loaded. When there was no more room I said to put the remaining bag in the front seat but stated I want to lay plastic before. The guy I was speaking to looked me in the eyes and blatantly threw a bag of concrete in my front seat. The bag busted and the whole inside of my car was now ************. I called a manager out and show him what happened. The managers answer to the complaint was to bring a small hand broom and a rag to dust the car out. I asked him why he was doing it and why wasn't the guy who did it responsible and are they going to keep working someone like that. He really didn't have any answer for me. I was angry and drove straight to the detail place to have taken care of. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures I was just wasn't thinking clearly at that point. It cost almost $300 to have my car cleaned. Whether they return my money or not still wanted this to be on record.Business Response

Order # WG36717139 placed online with Home Depot on June 30, 2023. It was for a whirlpool front loading washer which was found damaged significantly upon delivery. After negotiation for replacement parts or discount for damage a decision was made to accept a replacement instead with a delivery date scheduled shortly thereafter. I took off work based on agreed date with understanding the delivery service would call before arrival. Sat at home all day and no call and no show by delivery service. We called and was told it would not be available until 8.14.2023. We call the week prior to the expected date and rescheduled for Saturday august 18th. Again we were told they would call on Friday first then Saturday prior to delivery. I was leaving for work Monday when a delivery van pulled into my drive with the washer. Told them they could leave it and pick up old Saturday but refused. Attempts to resolve with Home Depot and whirlpool (both on call for delivery schedule) but now they say We must bring it to store for replacement which is not feasible as well as expensive to do being over and hour from nearest Home Depot. No one will is willing to talk to me at local store and online store says it is a store issue even though it was purchased online and not at any particular store. I was told I must bring the unit back in spite of purchasing online and having delivered and being set up for delivery more than once. I have no way of doing that and feel am being treated in a retaliation for voicing my concerns and frustrations and expecting it be made right.Business Response

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Home Depot associates over the past few months (June 14- August 11). My interactions have been marked by consistent unprofessional conduct, including dishonesty, disrespect, and a lack of accountability.I have faced situations where associates provided false information, deliberately kept me on hold for extended periods to wear me down, hung up the phone abruptly, and displayed a general disregard for customer concerns. Their refusal to provide their last names or identification numbers further demonstrates their unwillingness to take responsibility for their actions. This lack of transparency and professionalism raises concerns about the quality of training and oversight that Home Depot provides to its employees.Furthermore, I am extremely disappointed with the associates' inability to deliver and install appliances that I purchased from Home Depot. Despite waiting for two months, there has been no progress or resolution in sight. This level of incompetence has resulted in significant inconvenience and financial loss on my part. The installation company has displayed what seems to be an intentional reluctance to complete the installation process and avoid getting the job done. This is not only disappointing but also reflects poorly on Home Depot's commitment to customer satisfaction.It is disheartening to experience such poor service from a company that I believed to be reputable. The conduct of these associates reflects negatively on Home Depot as a whole and has greatly harmed my trust in the brand. I urge them to investigate these matters and address the need for improved training, accountability, and customer ********************** standards among Home Depot associates.I hope that Home Depot will take these concerns seriously and address the issues with the installation company in ***********, ** area. I believe in the brand's reputation for quality service and accountability.Business Response

Home Depot is Deplorable, Deceptive, and Unscrupulous.I purchased an Adjustable Metal Bed Frame at homedepot.com Order number WJ37224878 at the time of purchase.The website clearly states ************ Returns In Store or Online Return this item within 30 days of purchase."I tried to initiate a return online, however, it stated that I needed to call customer **************************** was a hold time of 40 minutes.I spoke to a representative who was disrespectful and sassy, first pretending not to see the order in the system, then stating that I couldn't return it online.I asked her to place her supervisor (***) on the phone several times, she was hesitant to do so when the supervisor got on the phone, the behavior was much of the same,first she stated *** could pick it up but then she came back to the phone saying that I had to return it to the store. I asked her why, when it clearly stated at the time of purchase that it was easy return. She said HomeDepot is unable to list all of the things that you can't ship back.Then why do you have easy return online or in store? She stated again because they're unable to list everything, Ignoring the fact that the item arrived with two missing wheels.It is unfair that the customer has the burden of returning it to the store, especially because Covid is still prevalent.I don't believe that many customers are aware of this undisclosed policy.Home depot is NOT transparent. And just as a customer said before, their customer ********************** is highly unprofessional and deplorable.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: first of all my name is not **************, therefore, I doubt the apology is sincere.Home Depot has an issue with systematic racism and consumer profiling.
I am still waiting for the refund.
Thank you to the Better Business Bureau for handling this complaint, if not for this company, I would have never received the service I was ***********.
