I made an order online for store pickup. I received an email stating that i picked up the item and then returned the item. I never picked up or returned the item. I called the home depot customer ********************** number explained the situation and they said it was canceled by the store and that i needed to go to the store to resolve it. I asked to talk to another customer ********************** representative and they told me to hang up and call again. I called the store, they told me it was an online cancellation and that i needed to contact customer **********************. I told them customer ********************** told me to reach put to the store and they wouldnt help me further. I asked for the name of the employee who was helping me and they said they didnt feel comfortable giving me their name. I was transferred to a store manager named *** and she said she didnt have any additional information regarding why the order was cancelled. In the end I received conflicting information and no help. Customer ********************** in store and online provided poor service. Additionally Home Depot sent deceptive/ misleading emails stating i picked up and returned the item when in reality someone in home depot cancelled the order. Order Number We14168181Business Response

Complaint: 19397658
I am rejecting this response because:Home Depot continues to provide inadequate customer **********************. Home Depot first claimed it wasn't able to get a hold of me even though I had talked to one of their agents by phone. After providing evidence that I spoke with Home Depot they now state that they had been in communication with me.
This complaint has moved from a customer complaint by me to a retaliation by Home Depot. Home Depot is obviously retaliating against me for making a customer ********************** complaint and freezing my abilities to make orders online. There's no reason to freeze and investigate my account when this complaint is regarding the misinformation and poor customer ********************** provided by Home Depot's customer representatives. This appears to be an attempt to ensure I don't make a complaint again.

Contracted with Home Depot to have a pair of doors replaced. They measured twice (at my expense) to be sure they got it right then their installer made an absolute mess of the installation. Completely sub-standard work as verified by members of management and the replacement installer who did a very good job on the 5th attempt to get these two doors installed correctly. Original installer absolutely did not do the work in anything like a *******-like manner and skipped numerous steps designed to ensure a long-lasting, weather-resistant installation of entry doors. Original installer also attempted to ******* me into signing acceptance. Company rescheduled numerous times and caused me to miss work repeatedly. They missed appointments, sent workers with insufficient time and materials to do anything to complete the installation correctly and generally performed in a manner which supports revocation of any licenses they have to do such work. To be perfectly clear, my contract is with Home Depot, not the installer. My complaint is therefore against Home Depot for failing to properly manage their subcontractor. I am Home Depot's customer but they are the sub-contractor's customer. It's construction and a little bit odd but I work at a high level in the field and know what right looks like. It most certainly does not look like the experience we've had with Home Depot. There is truly zero percent of the installation charge that I believe Home Depot has a right to retain after how poorly their subcontractor performed AND how little ownership they took of the issues. Also worth noting - we are still missing the screen door that goes with the patio door. They have not finished their scope of work nor have they provided the scope of supply that was purchased.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I spoke with ******* several times and will tell the BBB exactly what I told her. When the screen is installed, the case can be closed. Home Depot consumed far more of my time, energy and attention than is in any way reasonable. There were numerous cancelled appointments between the debacle in November and the final installation in February. With that being said, I believe it is fully reasonable for the BBB to assist the consumer by keeping this complaint active until Home Depot has completed the scope of work for which they have already been paid. That point in time can very easily be defined as when a working screen door has been installed in a workmanlike manner, as contracted.
I cannot let this go unsaid. It seems as though the adults were finally in the room once ******* got involved and energized the newly-assigned store manager, ************* Thankfully the dud (***) who allowed all of this to occur had moved to a different assignment and I didn't have to deal with him any longer. I think we're on the path to satisfactory conclusion but we're not getting there any sooner than when that screen door is installed.

I am rejecting this response because:I spoke with ******* and told her that I asked the BBB to keep this complaint open until they have actually completed the scope of work contracted. I'm confused as to why the BBB is again trying to close this one. Who's side are you on?
This complaint stays open until they have delivered and installed the screen door. If they ask to close it again without including that statement, I would very much appreciate you denying their request without allowing this debacle of their own creation to consume any more of my time. Ridiculous!!!

On November 28, 2022 I purchased kitchen appliances. My order number is WB31754651. The appliances were scheduled to be delivered and installed on January 20, 2023. I paid $3,143.61 for a fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave and installation. Unfortunately my kitchen was not yet installed and I wasnt able to have my appliances installed that day so they were just dropped off. Upon speaking to a Home Depot agent I was made aware that I could be reimbursed for installation. On 2/8/23 I chatted with a Home Depot agent who was only able to give me a partial refund and told me that the rest of the refund needs to be handled at the Warrington store. Yesterday, 2/12/23 I went to the Warrington Home Depot for the rest of my refund and their system was down and they told me there was nothing they could do and that I could call back the following day to get my refund taken care of via phone. Today, 2/13/23 I called them back and I spoke to another agent who informed me that this was incorrect and that I have to be in store for the refund. My home is currently under renovation and Im not living there yet. Traveling to ********** to get the run around and speaking to different agents who arent on the same page has been ridiculous and exhausting. On top of this, my major issue is that my dishwasher came damaged. The pipe that the water travels through is cracked. Upon informing Home Depot of this issue they told me I have to contact the manufacturer (Frigidaire) to get this resolved with them. Frigidaire isnt answering their phones and I too have gotten the run around from them. The lack of care, accountability, and help from both of these companies has been greatly upsetting. I would like my dishwasher fixed or a replacement delivered and the rest of my refund for installation from Home Depot back on the account. I made this purchase online and there should be no reason it cant be fully credited back to the original form of payment.Business Response

I purchased windows with lifetime warranties a few years ago. This past July 2022 I requested a screen replacement (as I did once before without issue). I am still waiting for the screen as well as replacement tabs for two other screens added to the request in November 2022. As of today theyre telling me they dont know why it isnt completed and they thought they did it. Each phone call I have made over the months they say there taking care of it now and should be resolved. They even have notes in the system about potentially closing the case. I said to not close it and I still need my items.Business Response

Called Home Depot they gave the warranty phone number. Called them at 1:45 AZ time. Gave all the information to the girl and then she hung up on us. Called back and of course they were now closed. Took all of our information including the warranty contract to Home Depot and they said nothing they could do. Call the warranty company. Was on the phone for almost 4 hours Monday morning trying to resolve this issue and get a new water installed including calling Home Depot corporate office and was told nothing we can do about it. We have all the paperwork but because Home Depot cant find it they said sorry. After being without hot water for almost 5 days we were able to find a company that would come out and install a new one. We want to be reimbursed from Home Depot for the cost of the new one and the installation we had to pay as we had a lifetime warranty on the one from home day. When we bought the water heater from Home Depot they were proud to claim this would be the LAST water heater we would ever have to buy. WrongBusiness Response

This company's customer ********************** is horrible. I purchased a ******* refrigerator for $**** in September 2022 with a one week delivery date. This delivery was missed and pushed month to month for five months now. When I call, homedepot claims they're just the middle men and I should contact ******* on my own. They've promised me discounts twice but these discounts only apply if I stick with the original purchase as a way to keep me on the hook. When i complained and advised them that I was writing a BBB clamplaint they suggested that I write it for ******* instead since they're the ones not delivering. I paid Homedepot $**** five months ago not *******! I shouldn't have to negotiate my own delivery nor talk to Homedepot suppliers when their products are not delivered. Homedepot has had my $ **** and accrued interest for five months. This is unprofessional and must be some kind of crime. I'll be writing to the State Attorney General to see how many times Homedepot accrued interest on other people's money while promising deliveries that never show up.Business Response

The Home Depot reached out to the customer today, 2/13/23, and advised that the delivery delays are due to production issues with the manufacturer.

Unbeknownst to me the contractor provided me a bit over 2 years ago failed to install our stove in accordance with code. We only found out when we noticed a gas smell. We then called our gas company who confirmed the not up to code installation. As I was out of the warranty of Home Depot and even outside the additional credit card warranty I contacted Home Depot who blamed me, failing to take any responsibility for their use of their contractors. (Note Home Depot has previously been fined for their outside contractors - ****************************************************************************************). I also contacted Home Depot CEO *********************** on 2 occasions and factually know he read them requesting a reasonable solution. I also contacted via direct message on ******* and received how I could utilize another Home Depot contractor at my expense of curse which was not satisfactory. I am attaching the purchase, two pictures of faulty installation and the explanation when the problem was fixed:Regulator is improperly installed needs to be installed horizontally.This was a text from ****** at ******************** ************Business Response
