      Home Depot is sponsoring a **** Deer Tractor giveaway from ********************** in ************. My wife received a phone call at 8pm from someone at Rainsoft, who then mumbled a few words and hung up. We tried to call back but no answer. Thinking we won the giveaway, I called Rainsoft the next morning and determined the entire giveaway is a sham and only being used to generate sales leads for their product, which is for home owners only (according to the representative). Waste of time and false advertising.

      I took receipt of a new range on 4/12/23 an on 4/15 when I went to use the timer I realized there was no sound. I contacted Home Depot and was told that since I was contacting them on day 3 instead of day 2 there was nothing they could do. I would have to go through the warranty process. So after contacting the vendor ********* they sent out a repairman an he said the motherboard needs to be replaced. That the range was a lemon. I again contact Home Depot an inform them of the problem their response was we not taking back a broken range. Thats a quote from the manager on duty at the time and his name is Flex. Even though they delivered a broken range to me. This is over 30 days now any my new range still isnt working correctly. Ive tried reaching out to their customer ********************** resolution team. They said if the store wont do a reversal it was nothing they could do to help me. All I want is what I paid for and thats new range. Not one that needs to be refurbished after only 3 days of purchase.

      I purchase a Washer and Dryer for my father on about November 30th. The washer and dryer was on back order until Dec 2nd which was fine. Upon the washer and dryer being delivered the installation company came and told my father who is legally blind that he need another piece to stack the washer and dryer. I spend 2 hours on the phone to get the kits order and another installation date scheduled. The day before the scheduled installation. I call to verify the ************* and was told that the appointment had been canceled because they needed the kit first . However, we had the kit in our possession and no longer called to verify before cancelling the appointment. The manager who handled the call from the installation company was very rude. After spending another hour and half on the phone . I was able to get another appointment. The lady on the phone issue a discount on the Washer and Dryer due to our inconvenience. She stated that she would process the refund which never happened. I call back again only to be told that my father who is legally blind had to go to in the store to get the refund. I had to arrange a Uber to take him to the store .Once he arrived at the store, there was a conflict with the refund. Per the rep on the phone he was suppose to get a refund approximately $380. The cashier In the store stated that it was only showing up as $320. After another long call with the cashier and online rep it was never resolve so my father just left. Fast forward to now. The washer and dryer is not leveled causing it to shake and the hole on the back has come off twice, This is unacceptable and could be very dangerous for my father as his is legally blind.

      In March of 2022, we had windows put in at our house. It was 24 months no interest. There was a down payment of two thousand dollars. When I got the statement in April, it had the down payment at 24 months and the regular payment, around eight thousand, at 12 months. I went to the local Home Depot, and they said to call the home office. I did and they said they would combine the bills and give me the 24 months with no interest. When I got the may statement it had the down payment at 24 months, the bill at 12 months, and somehow add another eight thousand to the bill. I called to find out why and they said it was a purchase. I told them I have made no purchase, and that they just double billed me. I filled a claim with them in may and they said it would take 30 to 90 days to fix. They then said that I would have to pay the bill because I made a purchase. Again I told them that I did not make any purchases, and that they double billed me. And once again I had to file a claim with them. And again they said it would take 30 to 90 days for them to look into it. It has been over a year and this has not been resolved. At the time the account number was ****************. They have since sent me two more cards. The second card is **************** and the third card is ****************. The three purchases are still and there and again they say it will take 30 to 90 days to investigate the claim.

      I purchased a Whirlpool washer on sale at Home Depot. The washer was delivered on 4/20/23. A few days later, I washed a load of towels, & the machine banged around loudly as it scooted a couple feet away form the wall. It could not balance the load of towels and left them sopping wet. I have had the same problem with different size loads, on different settings, & despite making sure to balance the items evenly & not overload the machine. Home Depot would not allow me to return the machine since it was outside of the 48-hour return window. Whirlpool had ****** Service come to assess the machine for any problems. On 5/26/23 the ****** tech told me he knew exactly what model my washer was before even seeing it since he had been called to service this model of Whirlpool washer for the exact same problem I'm experiencing many times by other customers. It's the tech's opinion that the new design is poor because the washer drum does not sit on a base like the previously well-build Whirlpool washers used to but is now freely suspended from the four suspension rods with no base to rest on. The tech re-calibrated the washer and made sure that I was loading it properly to avoid overloading and imbalance. After the tech left, I tried washing another load only for the machine to bang around loudly and scoot across the floor again. I immediately called Whirlpool back, but all they said they could do was send another tech out. Today, I saw that on both Home ************************************ website that there are reviews with complaints of the same problem I am experiencing. So according to these reviews & the ****** tech, **************** Depot has knowingly sold people this faulty machine that cannot be fixed. I have also noticed that even the loads that do get spun dry still have a faint smell of body odor, so the washer isn't cleaning them properly. I called Home Depot again today 5/30/23 to ask them to allow me to return the machine since it clearly has a design default but they refused.

      We partnered with the manufacturer, Whirlpool, and they have offered a replacement washer. The washer is being replaced as part of the warranty with Whirlpool. We at Home Depot cannot offer a refund since the manufacturer has offered a replacement.

      Complaint: 20122572

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I do not consider Whirlpool offering me a replacement washer that has either the exact same problems or different problems a reasonable resolution. I am contacting Whirlpool again today to ask for a refund since the other machines that fit my needs and are in my budget are also riddled with problems. Many reviewers on Home Depot, Whirlpool, Maytag, and *****'s websites continually state how their new machines are inferior to their older models that are 10+ years older. Home Depot is knowingly still selling theses poor quality machines  and some are even falsely advertised as being able to wash bulky items and large loads when only a small balanced load of towels causes violent banging and in some cases damage to customers homes. I do not understand why Home Depot is still doing business with an untrustworthy brand like Whirlpool whose machine quality and customer **********************  has declined and is inferior now to other reputable brands. I reviewed all the washers that are in my budget on all of the above websites and included just a few reviews for a couple models out of the many negative ones I saw. I thought I could trust Home Depot to sell me decent products from reputable brands only and it seems I was wrong.

      I bought a ***** natural gas grill online on 4/29 for a total of $1,159.15. On 5/4, Home Depot delivered the wrong grill, fully assembled. Although the grill had allegedly inspected by two people at the store, they had actually delivered the propane model rather than gas. I immediately called support, who eventually connected me to the local store manager. He stated that his store doesn't carry the gas model, and then began to tell me adamantly that the only way I could get a refund was if I brought the fully assembled grill back to his store. When I noted that I don't own a moving truck and therefore could not return it, he offered that I could come to the store, rent a Home Depot truck from him at market rates, and then return it to him.After more phone calls to support, I was able to schedule a pickup and told I would be refunded within 3-5 business days. 9 full business days later, I received a refund of $1,049, rather than the full amount. I immediately picked up with the support team I'd been dealing with asking why I didn't receive a full refund, and was notified this morning I would have to go into the physical store location that had previously refused to assist, and that I would only be able to receive the final $110 through a physical cash register.At no point in any time has anyone at Home Depot seemed interested in fixing their mistake. My order was immediately "closed" with no offer of replacing the incorrect item, and nearly a month later I'm still bearing the burden of attempting to pursue my refund. Again, through no mistake of my own, and entirely of the company/store, I'm being told once again to come into the store and deal with the team to finalize my refund. If any of this had been my mistake I could understand needing to do some work on my end, but every single level of this error happened on Home Depot's end, and one month later the onus is still being put on me to try to make this right.

      On 7th April I purchased a GE refrigerator in store. Nearly 8 weeks later, 10 scheduled deliveries, and 2 faulty fridges later, I still do not have my fridge. My husband and I have taken 10 days off to be at home for deliveries that either did not occur (we are only notified at the last minute that the item is damaged and wont be delivered) or were faulty fridges were delivered. Each week we spent a significant amount of time following up on the status of the fridge. There have been a number of issues;1. GE have not yet produced a fridge that is either not damaged or not faulty 2. Home Deport have failed to file correct delivery paperwork in a timely fashion with GE causing delays to new scheduled delivery date 3. Home Deport have failed to follow up on the issue despite there being a case with GE, the resolutions team and customer **********************, meaning we have had to spend time and money to try and resolve this issue 4. There is only one single fridge that is ever delivered by GE to the warehouse for collection by Home Depot delivery team so when it is damaged there is no alternative 5. On 30 May 2023, I spoke AGAIN to Home Depot customer ********************** and the person was extremely rude and quite threatening in his closing remarks (time of call was 2:23pm). He claimed that the issue was GE's fault, but my contract is with Home Depot and it is they who have mismanaged this process. 6. On Thursday 25th May 2023, the resolutions team ******** at Home depot guaranteed ** our fridge by 30th May 2023, but still we have no fridge.

      On May 23, 2023, Home Depot delivered a refrigerator to my home, ***************************************************************************, second floor. Order: H3818-283755 GE fridge: GTS17DTNRWW The man who delivered the appliance, on his own, bounced it up on 2 flights of stairs: metal and wooden. The wooden part has been damaged. And although the fridge is working at the moment, I wonder what kind of damage *** have happen to its integrity during this harsh treatment.When I tried to connect with Home Depot customer ********************** I was given a runaround: phone disconnected several times, endless waits, requests for the same info over and over. On May 26, I spent 2 1/2hours on the phone waiting for someone to address my complaint, and on May 27 I was on the phone from 8:30 to 9:53.Home Depot does not accept emails, which I wanted to send with photos of the damages to the wooden stairs.I will never buy an appliance again from Home Depot, and feel sorry for the guy who had to do this 2-man job alone.I want my refrigerator exchanged, and 2 persons for the delivery.My neighbors want the wooden stairs repaired.Thank you for your assistance.********************************* Not sure how to upload the email I had originally written and the photographs. (82y and not very tech savvy)
