      WE PURCHASED BOTH A ***** AND DISHWASHER FROM THE STORE IN *********/KISSIMME ** IN MID MARCH. THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN TERRIBLE. WHEN THE ***** WAS INSTALLED, IT WAS INSTALLED WITH A VENT THAT IS TOO LONG AND NOW THE ***** BLOCKS THE DOOR TO THE GARAGE. WE WERE PROMISED A SHORTER VENT. WHEN THE INSTALLER GOT HERE, WE WERE TOLD THEY DON'T CARRY THE SHORTER VENT AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE STORE ALSO REFUSED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AS WELL AS CUSTOMER **********************. WE WERE ALSO SOLD A DISHWASHER WITH A LARGE DENT ON THE INSIDE SO IT COULD NOT BE INSTALLED. WE SCHEDULED A REPLACEMENT TO BE DELIVERED BUT THE DELIVERY DATE CHANGED AND NOBODY BOTHERED TO TELL **. WE HAD TO FOLLOW UP. TELEPHONE CUSTOMER ********************** REFUSED TO GIVE ** A MANAGER, THE STORE REFUSED TO GIVE ** TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. THE SALESPERSON PROMISED A SMALL $75 CREDIT BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED. WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO SO MANY TIMES, GIVEN SO MUCH INCORRECT/CONFLICTING INFORMATION, AND IGNORED. WE WANT THIS RESOLVED NOW.

      This began when I was supposed to receive four appliances from Home Depot at my Clients on February 13, 2023. They called me and said they were 5 minutes out, after they never showed my assist. called back the store & said they delivered to the ************ store & had to send it back to the warehouse? This was such a hassle, they told my assistant that they couldnt re deliver. Somehow the address was to the store They told me That I would have to cancel & reorder! I am an Interior Designer & cant mess around with client money or timelines like that. Finally my assistant reached someone who set up the appliance delivery and they were set to bring it to my clients, they delivered Only 1! They said they would send it back to the warehouse if I didnt have them picked up. So I send my delivery crew that I pay hourly an upwards of $50/hr to pick up the remaining appliances. Home Depot helped them load & my crew brought it to my office where my overflow of inventory is kept. That is where it stayed until yesterday. I open to find it has a dent in the front bottom right drawer & the side of the fridge.I paid for the install & all parts also and they said they couldnt because address didnt match. Turns out they never changed it from the store address!? They ask my delivery crew to pick up the ************** for install because again delivered them to the store! I lost hundreds in paying employees. Fast forward to this morning when my assist. called Home Depot customer care & was told we had 30 days from pickup to report damage. Well even though it has only been touched once, they said they were unable to do anything about it on day 30. I called and was told 48 hours upon delivery. Here is the thing. It was DELIVERED YESTERDAY! When we opened it & saw the damage. Home Depot refuses to help replace the fridge or parts. Thousands of dollars & spent $ out of pocket on my crew for their mess *** and now I have to pay out of pocket to replace a clients brand new fridge?

      I received an email re a refund for order WP61389738 which was denied upon processing by the supervisor ******* on 4/4/23. I am surprised to hear this since this is an online order paid with a credit card. Order was refused upon delivery and delivered back to Home Depot on 3/27/23 (******************************************************************************************). Had I returned it in store, it would have been refunded immediately.

      I am filing this complaint on behalf of my Mother, *********************************, ************************************************************. Im filing for her because she is currently 90 years old and will be 91 on 05/27/2023, and specifically because she does not have the internet, access to the internet, only a land line phone, and no emailessentially an old school senior citizen. I am her son, *********************************** On 03/20/2023, I took my my to the Home Depot Store near her residence she frequently shops at, Home Depot Store #***, **************************************************************************. We asked to speak to the manager on duty who identified herself as **********. We explained the following: for many years my mom has shopped at that Home Depot and always was provided the Veterans discount when she checked out and showed her military dependent identification card and was always provided the discount. She recently tried using her veterans discount when checking out and was denied because the store employee informed her she had to register online to obtain the discount. She informed them she had no computer to do that, and didnt have the internet. The store employee suggested she call the district corporate office which she did, she explained her situation and the district corporate office said they couldnt help her. We asked ********** if she could intervene and help out and she said she could not. Home Depot advertises they support Veterans and their families and offer this discount, but apparently not for anyone who doesnt have a computer or internet access. My mother feels this policy discriminates against senior citizen Veteran family members who do not have computers or access to the internet to utilize this advertised discount.

      Purchased a washer and dryer on October 18, 2022, in the amount of $2,717.93 at Store #**** (*******, **). Due to a delay in ordering a part, the washer and dryer were not delivered and set up until November 28, 2022. Upon using the dryer several days later I noticed that the dryer was making an extremely loud, grinding noise during operation. I call and set up an appointment with Electrolux, the manufacturer of the unit, and their repair person came out on December 14, 2022. Upon turning on the dryer, the repair person immediately looked around the perimeter of the dryer and found a large dent on the rear portion of the right side of the dryer. He immediately thereafter diagnosed the problem, stating the dent in the dryer was causing the drum to grind against the interior of the dryer. He said that was caused by the dryer being dropped and /or mishandled at some point prior to the set up in my house by the Home Depot delivery personnel. He further indicated that this was not the kind of repair covered by the manufacturer's warranty. I have never handled the dryer nor was I involved in the set up of the dryer inside my residence. I went to Store #**** on December 19, 2022 and spoke with the store manager. She indicated to me that I should have returned the equipment within 48 hours per their policy and I should have purchased the warranty for the machine. I told her that nothing was wrong with the machine, per the manufacturer, other than the fact that the machine was mishandled and therefore damaged due to the negligence of Home Depot and that Home Depot is responsible for addressing the situation.According to Electrolux, there is nothing wrong with the dryer other than the large dent due to mishandling prior to set up. I feel that Home Depot should address and repair or replace the dryer. The cost of the dryer is #1,198.00 (Electrolux Model #ELFG7637ATO). Repair estimate from Electrolux is $722.10.

      On March 30,2023 I purchased a floor lamp manufactured by Hampton Bay at Habitat for Humanity Restore store in ***************. The lamp box was unopened and in the original Home Depot packaging., On trying to assemble the lamp it was impossible to attach the lamp head to the column as the threads were too short to adhere to the column. Clearly a fault in the manufacturing. The lamp is useless. I called the Restore store and their sales are final. I called Home Depot and was told that as the lamp wasn't purchased from their retail store, they would do nothing. If you read the reviews of the lamp, there are many complaints about the lamp. Sooo Home Depot "donated" faulty lamps (and probably received a tax credit) and the lamp are absolutely worthless. So where do I stand as a consumer... I understand the Restore's policy, but Home Depot needs to stand behind their products. I paid $30, less a 30$ discount for garbage!!!

      I ordered a GE refrigerator from Home Depot, delivered on 2/15/2023. In the first week, I noted the defrost was heating the freezer to 60 degrees. I followed instructions and finally got a GE tech out who said my defrost thermostat and control panel were bad and had been since delivery date. Also stated the compressor would go in the next month. Its not even been 60 days and Im having a major repair with another one in the near future. I asked Home Depot if I could exchange this appliance for one of equal or greater value and was told NO. Their policy is *********************************************** the first 48 hours so it wasnt even possible for me to know it was broken. They sold me a broken appliance and now refuse to exchange it, even for one of greater value. It cost me $775.00 for the appliance and protection plan.
