Extremely disappointed in Home Depot. This experience includes three different locations. I purchased a brand new $3000 Murray Cruz Zero Point mower that was delivered to my house and the mower arrived with no key, no battery, no manual, and was old peeling, and rusted. It was delivered from the Willow Grove, Pennsylvania location, and it was clearly their outdoor floor model with all of the labels peeling off whoever thought that was a good one to send needs glasses. After finally speaking to three different customer service representatives over the phone they’re only solution for me. Was to attempt to take the mower back to Home Depot, Return it, and pay for a new one. I was unable to physically tow the assembled mower on a shipping pallet back to Home Depot in my midsize SUV. I called back to arrange for it to be picked up and told them in the meantime, I’m going to a store in person to rep purchase a new one because they couldn’t exchange it. After I purchased the new mower, the store manager offered me a discount of $250 for the inconvenience of this whole thing which was kind of him. So now I had two $3000 mowers on my Home Depot credit card account. The mower was picked up the same day. The new one was dropped off, which was great. It was the only thing that was great. I got the return completed email but still no refund three weeks later and I still was not given the 250 credit of the new mower. I even called the store to follow up about the $250 credit and the manager remembered me and said he would apply it right away. Yet three weeks later still no refund still no credit and the Home Depot credit card company told me I have to contact Home Depot. I to the Home Depot store in person, wait 30 minutes for a store manager or the equivalent to show up to help me. Yes, that’s correct. It took that man 30 minutes from being paged to show up at the helpdesk. He finally arrived, I gave him a brief explanation, and he looks at both of my orders and informed me that the refund while being initiated was never processed, he said, for some reason, the refund was pending at a store that I never even went to or involved in this purchase. He was thankfully able to initiate the refund finally after three weeks through his register, which I’m still waiting to see reflected in my credit card. He also applied the $250 credit that the first manager told me he was applying twice now. Both these managers were kind but this whole system is extremely incompetent. Every facet of this order from start to finish has been the most annoying retail shopping experience I’ve ever had in my life. Once all of this is reflected on my credit card account I plan to pay it off immediately forgetting the 24 month interest free for the sake of closing this Home Depot credit card account because of how absolutely ridiculous this whole thing has been. There is zero communication between Home Depot stores, warehouses, and even managers and employees. Every person I spoke to should’ve had records of everything I talked about online yet I still had to re-explain this situation every time I talk to someone new. The store manager’s Brian, and Thomas at the Oxford Valley, Pennsylvania store were both kind and helpful, as was the associate Fran, who rang me up for the second purchase of the mower. But kindness aside, no one offered me the solution of bringing a replacement mower and picking up the old one without me having to pay, again for a new mower. If I was offered the ability of an exchange without having to re-purchase it, this whole scenario wouldn’t exist.. I have spent probably over $50,000 at Home Depot remodeling my home from 2021 to 2025. I honestly don’t ever plan to buy any major appliance, or any big ticket item ever again...
Read moreI recently purchased a dishwasher - Whirlpool Gold series from HOME DEPOT. Got the installation and 5 yr service warranty with the product. It was scheduled for installation on Friday 6/27/14. The installation guys came promptly during scheduled window. Installation was completed smoothly within an hour. They left with test cycle on. Me and my wife were excited the new dishwasher, finally will have more time for each other and can leave some dirty work for dishwasher. Our excitement went to vain in next couple hours. we went to check the dishwasher, it was running for more than 2 hours on test cycle. when the cycle got over, I opened the dishwasher there was water inside, it didn't drain completely. I called up homedepot and they said it could be some error, please try to run one more cycle may be it will fix by then. I ran the NORMAL wash cycle, lasted for 2 more hours. after that clean light Led so I thought hopefully this time it should have drained. AGAIN NO LUCK... still water inside. I tried pressing Cancel button motor ran but no drain yet. Again called HOME DEPOT and asked to replace the machine or send out the technician to check.
They said they don't come on weekend as they are already scheduled. they asked me to call Whirlpool as manufacturer will have 1 year warranty will kick in first then homedepot warranty will come. I asked them to call whirlpool and schedule the appointment for me. They did and finally they said technician will come on Tuesday 7/1/14. I was at home waiting for technician till 12 pm today. No call from any company so curiously I called back homedepot to verify my appointment time. Homedepot said they don't schedule the appointment so I should call maytag whirlpool to confirm the company name who is coming to check the dishwasher. I said I am not going to call you guys should tell me where is my technician. finally guy on phone understood and went ahead to call whirlpool. About an hour later he called back and said, He had situation that the 3rd party whirlpool has scheduled has no work order for me today. There is some miscommunication during weekend. He has scheduled again the same company for tomorrow july 2nd,
I have lost hope with the HOME DEPOT. Not sure what they or 3rd party will do tomorrow. If nothing happens by tomorrow then I have decided to return this garbage dishwasher and wont use any HOMEDEPOT appliances in future.
Worst experience ever. I never give any reviews but the frustration they gave us has forced me to...
Read moreA couple years ago I purchased granite countertops actually my wife did building her dream kitchen… Home Depot had a contractor come out and install them… I had a couple questions so they came back out and polished the granite with a few of my concerns. Just two of us living in the house, kids grown and gone we noticed there was a crack in our island and I requested Home Depot to send the contractor back out which they did and upon their inspection they said it was not cracked. It was the texture in the grain. Then, after I disputed the cracks with the contractor he said you Chose a granite that has a certain Type of grain!
After talking to the Sales rep that sold us the kitchen counters he agreed that it should be addressed however, nothing has been done. I received a phone call today stating that they want the contractor to come back out and fill the cracks and polish it. After spending $6500 on countertops and the type of treatment that I'm getting, I'm forced into taking legal action moving forward!
Being in the service business, it's hard to believe that Home Depot didn't want to send someone out other than their sublet contractor to inspect this and make this right they said it's on the Contracter! I did not sign a contract with the contractor! I signed a contract with Home Depot. I strongly encourage anyone to buy direct and do not do business with Home Depot when it comes to third-party installers because they simply don't care! hard to believe that I have to go through this and as big as Home Depot is as a company you would think they would value their customers! I will seek legal counsel andI'm not gonna go...
