“Purchased new Whirlpool refrigerator late February 2022. (Was manufactured January 2022.) Late June 2022 it died. Whirlpool technician arrived July 12, 2022. Diagnosed problem as 1. faulty control board. 2. filter dryer 3. LOW ON FREON. NEEDS CHARGING. Advised parts not available and would be 21 days before before they could even inquire of availability from Whirlpool. That would be August 13, 2022. According to Whirlpool one part may be available sometime between September 9 and 27.. it is now August 22 and we have been without our #1 rated Whirlpool refrigerator for two months with no repair date in sight. I should just buy another refrigerator. I have found the repair parts at three suppliers but Whirlpool cannot reach out to them and if I repair then I would invalidate the warranty. I would repair but the need for the sealed system to be recharged is a bigger problem. Freon should last the life of the refrigerator. So there is a leak. The leak is big enough that in just four months it leaked enough that the compressor ran all the time. The tech advised me to unplug the unit to avoid ruining the compressor. A simple recharge of the sealed system would be a temporary fix and in three to four months it would need recharging again. Anyone familiar with air conditioning or cooling systems knows this. Home Depot says it is all on Whirlpool to make it right and Whirlpool blames it all on Covid19. Recommend any future appliance purchases be made from a local appliance center that services what they sell. Extended warranties are useless as you would still have the same problems. Would love to write the CEOs of Whirlpool and Home Depot but after reading many of the other reviews I understand I'm not the only one left "out in the cold." My advise is think twice before buying any appliance from Home Depot!”

“I just purchased a new washer from Home Depot. The delivered and installed it and started it told me to let it run a entire cycle and left. Right after they left it shut off, i started it again and it made a clicking noise and turned off. Sounds like its not getting water. I tried to catch the delivery guys no luck, I called customer care and the soonest they can get someone back out is 4 days! i told them I needed a concession and they only offered $50, that i am sure I wont see. I have to take off work again!, for them to Fix my brand new appliance. I will never got to Home Depot again. and I buy a ton of tools there, but Ace Hardware sales the same brand. Nice knowing you home depot, but I am breaking up with you!!!”

“Less than zero communication from this zero company. How did America ever end up with a useless company like this one? They can't deliver an appliance to save their lives. Zero communication from the idiot delivery company. Strongly advise to find ANY OTHER WAY to buy your appliance besides Home Depot. They have simply, dramatically lost their way. Are you listening shareholders?”

“Home Depot's appliance delivery operations are terrible. So unorganized, and the communication from the delivery team is nonexistent. I ordered a dishwasher on their website, and the soonest delivery was 1 month out. Not ideal, but fine with me. Delivery day comes and they never show up. Meanwhile they marked the dishwasher as "Delivered" on their tracker. I call their support team and they say they don't know what happened but assure me it'll be delivered by end of day. Never came. Call them that evening and they reschedule the delivery for two days out. They never came on that day either. Two scheduled deliveries and they didn't show up for either one! Sure wasted a lot of my time, though. Finally I called to cancel the order and get a refund. Rep told me I would get a refund in 3-5 business days. 5 days later, still no refund, so I call and then I'm told the refund takes 7-10 business days. Been over 10 days and still no refund. Home Depot wasted my time on not one, but two(!) delivery days, never gave me my dishwasher, and have now taken several weeks to issue a refund. I will never order an appliance from Home Depot again.”

“we bought a new refrigerator for our 91 year old mom who's refrigerator broke down. On delivery day they stood outside and did not notify us. When we got notice that they had a "delivery" problem they gave us the run around all day and finally we reached someone but the "supervisor" went home. Now they say it will be another 10 days. Worst experience of our life. Will never buy anything from Home Depot again.”

“I Ordered a washing machine after ours broke. Delivery was in 4 days. Once delivery day came around, an independent delivery serviced opened the package to a heavily damaged machine. We were informed that the machine had to be returned to Home Depot before a new one can be sent out. They expected me to wait 2 weeks without a washing machine with laundry stacking up before sending out a replacement. We decided to go with Lowes and ended up with a machine 2 days later. Now 3 weeks later we receive a call that Home depot is attempting to deliver a REPLACEMENT washing machine instead of refunding me for the damaged one ordered 3 weeks prior. This was my LAST purchase with Home Depot. Unacceptable.”

“If I could give 0 stars I would. I’ve paid for a door install in June 2022. It is now August and I have not been contacted by anyone to schedule the install. Numerous calls to HD and the contractor go unanswered.”

“Poor to no customer service in kitchen cabinet department. Will never do business with Home Depot again. I am writing a letter to the CEO which I'm sure won't matter or make a difference, but any company (or even a store) who thinks they are too big to fail or go out of business will learn a hard lesson. The company's CEO needs to be a secret shopper on a large ticket item. My order would have been at least $100,000 sale.”

“I have spoken to the manager before at the Weatherford TX store. I’m. A 80% disabled veteran and a farmer. When I ask for the military discount and my ag exemption. I have been told they can’t honor 2 discounts. AG EXEMPTION isn’t a discount. I left $700 dollars at the register and went to Lowes and purchased everything with military discount and ag exemption. Other Home Depot’s honor both as well as Tractor Supply, McCoy’s, Lowes, Sutherland Home Place. This has happened to me 3 times in Weatherford. Can’t speak to manager, but did call and educated the manager, which she thank me. Must have a high turn over of Managers and no training. Store personnel are rude, arrogant and very resistant to listen. Contact the TX AG commissioner, if you need confirmation that an ag exemption permit and number is not a discount I am proud to serve and feed Americans, but will never set foot in another Home Depot and just liquidated my HD stock. That was the 3rd time at that location, even though I made many other purchases that did use my ag exemption with veterans discount, 3 strikes, your out. Also stores like yours and others who mainly rely on self checkout will not be used by me.”

“Place an order for replacement French Doors for my home in Feb 2022. Spent over $7000.00 and was told 4-9 weeks to receive. Was contacted once for an update and a delayed delivery date, that was May-June. It is now August over 20 weeks with no delivery date, being told we just have to wait. Home depot has just washed their hands of the matter blaming it on the vendor, the refuse to take any responsibility even through they took my $7000.00 not the vendor. My wife is going out of town later in August and while she is gone I will be cancelling the order and buying elsewhere. I live in College Place Wa and there is basically nowhere else to shop. I drove and hour away to have my new HVAC done. I have also gone to Lowes and hour away to order my new kitchen cabinets. Because of their attitude about this sale the have lost about $30000 in sales to us. We also spent $11000 for a deck for the new house with the stipulation that the contractor not buy the materials from Home depot. We required receipts for the materials showing they were not purchased from Home Depot. I admit this was a little petty, the deck, but why give business to a company that takes your money and then says, not our problem we don't build the doors. We did not order from the company direct, but through Home Depot, so my phone calls are just ignored and told to contact home depot.”

“Your app for Veterans is useless! You are fully aware that cell phone reception is so poor inside the store that the app does not work. You demand that your Veteran customers, after shopping go outside to log in and back inside to complete their purchase. This is ludicrous! I was told by the staff that they would run my discount after reviewing my VA card this last time, from now on I will be forced to use the app. Until you come up with a better solution, like Lowes where all we do is provide our phone number, this Vetaran will no longer shop at Home Depot.”

“Home Depot has the absolute worst delivery system. I will NEVER buy another thing from them again and will use Lowe’s from now on. Completely inept people. I will. Be reporting them to the BBB.”

“I should have looked online for reviews on Home Depot. Worst place to purchase appliances. They are disorganized so incorrect information was given to me. I recently purchased an LG front load washer/dryer, they rescheduled my appointment twice, by the third time, the truck deliver driver showed up without the product, saying he was there to fix the old appliance. What a disappointment, I told him, I didn't purchase a service, I purchased a new product. I called Home Depot, they said it was supposed to be in the truck for delivery and then said, the box was missing! Talk about how frustrated I was. I had taken the day off from work, I told them to cancel the order. I had waited 4 weeks for this delivery. I am NEVER purchasing any appliances or large items at Home Depot. They should be ashamed of the discrepancy and issues with customer deliveries.”

“If I could give less than 1 star I would. DEALING WITH HOME DEPOT HAS BEEN A NIGHT MARE! I wish I looked at reviews before ordering with them. If you are going to buy items from the store that is one thing but online ordering is A NIGHTMARE. I originally placed an order for pickup, when i went to the store (PLYMOUTH MEETING) to pick up the items, they told me "they had the order for 2 days but it was too large that no one wanted to do it" - The response was lazy an unprofessional. The supervisor told me they would get the items delivered for free for the inconvenience but when I called they had no record of this. I then replaced the order for delivery on July 6th and it is now July 28th and I am still waiting on items. I call every single day and every day they tell me "the items will be there tomorrow" but they don't come or some items come and not others. This is holding up my job. I tried to reorder a few items for pickup to keep the job moving and it happened AGAIN. They had no record of my pickup order even though I had confirmation. Customer service & the stores do not communicate and are useless. They will put you on hold for 40 minutes and come back with NO RESOLUTION and no compensation offer. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE AGAIN. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SHOP AT LOWES. YOU WILL REGRET ORDERING WITH HOME DEPOT.”

“Save yourself the frustration and time wasted. Just order from a different company. HomeDepot is not interested in customer service. I ordered and appliance and picked a delivery date. The company failed to deliver on selected date of July 16th as I waited at home for the entire time slot. Called HD and accepted their story that the delivery truck broke down and they could not come by the next business day. But they did send me a bill for my appliance. I picked another delivery date July 26th and traveled to location to accept my appliance. I waited from 2 to 8:30pm Delivery came even as I waited several hours after in case they were running late even as they had promised 2:30 to 6:30pm delivery. I called HD at 7pm told to wait another hour. At 8:15pm I called and asked supervisor as HD could give me no explanation as to the missed delivery. The supervisor Diana was rude and condescending. She promised to call me the next day, instead sent me a rude e-mail from a DO NOT REPLY address that she had no explanation or reschedule and said I should cancel. No assistance cancelling, I had to make another round of phone calls. So 3 weeks since my order. No appliance. No explanation. No respect. Just bills. I called HD and HD credit services five times. I spent collectively several hours on hold and and being transferred, 2 entire days waiting at home. Save yourself the frustration and time wasted. Just order from a different company. HomeDepot is not interested in customer service.”

“Horrible customer service and product knowledge. Do not go to the carrier and i20 location, manager Andy and Daniel are as helpless as can be. Spent $1000 on behr one coat paint as they suggested, ended up painting 3 coats to get the coverage I need. They just basically told me to contact behr for the issues. Great job Homedepot will be boycotting you and go out of my way to be at lowes instead… I shouldn’t have to contact the manufacturer for things that you carry if you got any customer service ethics at all. Thanks for nothing…”

“DO NOT USE PRO REFERRAL FROM THE HOME DEPOT It has been a nightmare. I had over $2000 stolen from their pro referral and after 40 emails and 20 phone calls they state no responsibility for the contractors actions. And no responsibility for leading me to him and reassuring me of his credentials. How will I ever get my money back. The contractors insurance company?”

“Purchase a dishwasher from them online and purchased the install and take away. The installers show up and refuse to install saying the cord is too short which is not true. Home Depot lied and said they could install a hard wire. They refused to leave my dishwasher paid in full with me and refused to take the old one. Called customer service who kept me on the phone lying and refusing to issue me a confirmation for canceling the order completely. They wanted me to pay for an electrician to install the dishwasher. JASON (who was very snide and a really ugly person, I really doubt he is a supervisor since his communication skills are terrible and he uses incorrect English when speaking) refused to give me a cancellation confirmation. Saying the dishwasher has to be scanned at the warehouse. I never had the dishwasher, it never entered my house, but I can't get a confirmation. As far as I know, the two delivery guys never took it to the warehouse. They say I should get a refund in 3-5 days. I need a dishwasher now!!”
