      I purchased a lithium ion battery from Home Depot to fit one of their Ryobi (Home Depot brand name) about a year ago because it was labeled with a 3-year warranty. After a year it will not take a charge, When trying to return it for an exchange battery I was told to call a number on a pre-printed pad of complaint forms. That should have been my first clue. When I called the number I got a recording that they had a longer than normal wait time. It's been over two hours on hold, listening to them tell me how much they value my loyalty, and no answer. I have taken a photo of the phone with the customer "**********************" number, and the time on hold, to prove my complaint. I believe that they are using this ploy just to avoid honoring their warranties. "Acting store manager" told me that the phone number is the only way to seek a resolution and I think she was lying to me..

      I am rejecting this response because in addition to the cost of the rental, I also paid for gas which was about $13. So I have not been made whole. In addition, I expect something for my time. Thus, please send a gift card in the amount of $50 to ***************************************,  and then we can depart as friends and I won't switch to Loews

      I scheduled a tile installation through Home Depot. The installers were supposed to come out June 5. My husband missed a day of work. They called midday to say they werent coming. They promised to get the job done in one day on June 6. They tore out the tile, said the subfloor needed to be replaced, they couldnt do that and left. We hired an independent contractor to replace the subfloor. Over the past 2 weeks Ive been trying to call the contractors to reschedule. I go to voicemail or the phone just rings. I finally got a hold of someone from ***************) this morning. They said they were scheduling a month out and then sent me to voicemail. I tried calling the local store. It rang for 5 minutes with no answer. I called the National customer **********************. They told me that they could not refund or reschedule and it would take two additional days for someone to call me back. I asked to speak to a supervisor and there was no supervisor available. I would like for the job to either be completed by next week or to be refunded for labor and for the time my husband lost taking off work.

      I was delivered an appliance through **** that I had purchased from The Home Depot, the appliance was missing parts so I called and had the item returned. The lady I spoke with on the customer ********************** hotline said I would receive my refund to the card I used to make the purchase in 3-5 business days. Although in 3-5 business days I received an **gift card in the sum of what my refund should have been to my bank account. I just got off the phone with their customer ********************** again and told them I was mistakenly given a gift card as a refund as opposed to my desired refund of funds being returned to my bank account. The lady told me it was not possible to reverse their mistake and now I will not be able to receive a refund and am forced to use the **gift card which can only be spent at home depot. After this experience I do not want to spend any money at home depot but am now being forced to because of their mistake in refunding me a gift card instead of real money. I have an email reflecting my request of the refund being put back onto my card, and another of a e-gift card I never asked for, these will be attached below. I never received the refund the first email states only the e-gift card the second one states.

      Purchased "Vigoro rubber mulch nuggets" on Home Depot Online which are advertised as "the perfect loose-fill groundcover for landscaping and playground applications". Store SKU ***********, Internet **********.We purchased a pallet on 5/21/2023 with our order total being $479.49. Of the 25 bags on the pallet, we have already spread 13 down for our backyard children's playground.On 6/18/2023 my wife was impaled with something sharp when stepping on the rubber mulch. We discovered there was ***** metal embedded in the mulch itself. In a quick search, we discovered five pieces with sharp metal fragments poking out of them. This is not safe, and incredibly dangerous. This was advertised as being a playground safe material for children! I called Home Depot Online Customer Support on 6/18/2023, notifying them of the product defect and inquiring how I can return the product. They stated because I had opened a bag of mulch already, they stated they are unable to process any return. I stressed the fact that the mulch is unusable because it has dangerous metal fragments in it! I was on the phone with ***** (Rep * *****), for over ************************************************************ higher level supervisor to speak with. He refused to process any return, he could only offer a limited gift card to cover the unused bags of mulch.I will now need to clean up all the mulch myself, dispose of the mulch, and spend both time and money doing so. I am worried about the safety concerns of this product being advertised as safe for children's playgrounds. I am disappointed that my concerns were not taken seriously by any of the members of the team I have escalated to already.

      Purchased refrigerator on April 25th online. The website listed a box to check for free installation, and an option to pay $40 for "Haul Away or Removal to Another Room" for my old appliance. I clicked the only box available under that option Removal to Another Room, thinking it was an error on the website since the larger banner above said both options were available. After waiting 1.5 months my item was scheduled for delivery when the delivery company told me they do not install or haul away items. They told me to go in store to Home Depot. Three managers there told me I would have to pay for an outside contractor to install my fridge and move the old unit to the sidewalk for the Home Depot delivery company to remove. I called Home Depot and informed them this was false advertising. Now they are giving me contradictory info claiming they will install but not haul away. Another rep said they will install and haul away.

      Hello- Home Depot stated on June 21st that their resolution to the matter was a refund that would process in **** business days.  I received the following communication today copied below.  This is yet another example of the lack of customer ********************** I have received during this process.  Now five days have been lost and I remain in limbo.  At each step of this process Home Depot has stated one thing and then not followed through.  I have been 2 months now without a refrigerator and need to get one purchased and installed.  I cannot do so until I receive my funds.  I cannot afford for Home Depot to wait a week and find out it is still "pending". 

      I want my payment refunded expeditiously, I cannot wait **** more business days.

      I purchased A ***** electric lawnmower from Home Depot last year. The first unit I bought broke down after 45 minutes of use. The second unit I bought (same model) broke down after 4 hours of use (4 x 1 hour sessions cutting my lawn). When I attempted to return it at my local Home Depot, with the original sales receipt, they refused to refund me the reason being is a 90 warranty on power tools. when I tried to explain to the manager that the unit was only used for 4 hours over the last 9 months he shrugged his shoulders and said there's nothing they could do. He then gave me the wrong phone number to have the unit fixed. Home Depot only gives a 90 day return policy because they know the products they sell are garbage. And many people like me simply don't put the purchased unit in service during the 90 day period so service hour time is low to non-existent. The mower should have lasted longer than 4 hours and Home Depot should be aware of how defective this unit is and refund customers accordingly. I want to be refunded the $532.06 I paid for this unit.

      Hello,I receive paper mailings from The Home Depot at my Post Office Box. I now live in a nursing home, so I won't be needing anything from The Home Depot anytime soon. And my son can get me whatever I might need. I contacted your "customer **********************" to ask to be removed, and the individual insisted I log into my HD account to do it myself. I tried to do what they instructed, but what I saw was NOT what they claimed would be there! I am not stupid, it's just that what they insisted was in my account settings was NOT available for me!Please REMOVE me from your ** Mail mailing lists! I'm attaching a photo of the label.
