“Delivery was rescheduled at the last moment three times by text. No phone call, no one asked if a new date would work for us. We canceled the order as Home Depot deliveries are unreliable. We did not buy the washing machine to wait for weeks and weeks”

“In April of this year, I spent nearly $6700 on new carpet and padding. Our existing carpet and padding was nearly 17 years old and had also been installed by HD too. Over those seventeen years, we had six dogs of our own and had fostered several for local rescue organizations so lots of carpet cleanings and pet accidents over the years. It was recommended by HD that any areas of heavy dog smell we treat by painting the floor with Kilz. 2 weeks prior to the June install we took all of the carpeting and padding, including the tack strips and staples out, treated any areas we felt were concerning for future odor issues with Kilz. At the sales representative's excited suggestion we had chosen Pet Proof carpet, which is guaranteed to remain pet stain/odor free for 25 years but more exciting still, we had chosen a product called Lifeproof carpet padding, which is guaranteed for the life of the carpet it is originally installed under. The padding has a heavy plastic sheeting on both sides of the foam core which, according to the representative, would both help in keeping any existing odors in the subfloor trapped underneath the carpet pad and keep any new potential accidents from ever getting to the subfloor. I believe it is the most expensive carpet padding that they carry and we actually went with a lesser grade carpet density to afford it. 2 days before the install, we moved our two large aquariums (58 & 75 gallons) and all of the fish into the kitchen and bathroom. Because we had taken all the carpet out we were walking on bare subfloor and had put towels down to accommodate the drips that inevitably happened moving that much water, fish, rocks, plants and driftwood. By the morning of install with the exception of the two beds, there was no furniture in my home on any of the areas to be carpeted meaning all of the subfloor was clean, accessible and visible. Within the first 2 weeks we had our first water accident on the floor when I caught the dog water dish with the cord of the vacuum cleaner and overturned it. We immediately cleaned it up and were excitedly impressed the next morning when the area was bone dry, even with socks on. Within a month, I was finding hard knots in areas of every room of the house. I called the carpet installers to complain thinking they had left something underneath the carpet. They wanted to send the original workman back out to address the issue but scheduling that took three months due to a myriad of serious family medical issues. In September they returned and attempted to address the issues by pounding on each lump with a hammer! it was explained to me that sometimes in the process of stretching carpet, loose particles of the subfloor can get pulled upright causing the lumps which considering the plastic sheeting on the back of the carpet pad made absolutely no sense to me.But since I don't install carpet, I didn't feel like I could offer up much of an argument. i did express concern that it might damage the carpet backing or the carpet pad itself and was assured that it would not. One of the lumps, the largest of them after about twenty poundings by a hammer, turned into a dip instead of a lump so the carpet seam was opened and the carpet was pulled back. I saw the circular water stain as soon as the carpet was pulled up which reminded me about the water spill right after install. i explained what happened while they cut an x shaped opening in the wonder product Lifeproof pad. Under the pad the subfloor was revealed to be wet with a hole that had been pounded clear through it, and a couple of little volcanoes of expanded subfloor that had bubbled up around that. Lots of pictures were taken.I was promised copies of them.I was never provided them and then the installers were just going to simply pull everything back together and reseal the carpet seam with a hole in my floor because they don't repair that. I went out and found a piece of metal to put over the hole before they closed up the carpet. I have spoken to HD. I have spoken to Lifeproof I have spoken to the company that installed my carpet and all of them have absolved themselves from any responsibility.Told me my subfloor was damaged before the carpet was ever put down and that none of this is their fault. I'm sorry, my subfloor was fully visible and if it was that damaged, why was I not told?Why did it not feel spongy? Why were there no holes in it? Why were there no teepees of subfloor bubbling up then if it was so damaged? For Christ's sakes, we were walking around on it for 2 weeks with no carpet on it. considering where the other lumps that were pounded out were located. I'm 99 percent sure there are probably small bubbled up subfloor spots from where water was dripped while moving the aquariums so meaning there might have been a small amount of moisture residing below the surface of the subfloor. Plastic backing does not allow for any airflow meaning any moisture at all is trapped. the place where the water was built that has the hole in it is just a flat failure of the product completely because water most certainly got all the way through to the subfloor. The subfloor was not soaking wet like it is now at the time of install. Since my first complaint I have had them send me in writing that Kilz should never be used on a subfloor and that use of that contributed to the problem. i have also been informed that fish tanks void the warranty on the carpet pad yet the sales representative and I discussed at length the joys of keeping fish and her wishing she had a spot for a fish tank.. Lifeproof has flat out denied that the water spill could have possibly leaked through the pad and caused the problem.Yet here we are with a hole in my floor that is still that is spreading because, the moisture can't go anywhere so it just continues to spread. I see others with everything from same subfloor damage, to mold existing underneath their Lifeproof pad, complaining about it on Reddit, yet was told that my complaint was the first one they'd ever heard about and I was dismissed just as quickly. I'm in the process of looking for an attorney and for ways to connect with these other people that have had failure of this product.”

“The worst of all retail stores. One return that only required a credit to my HOME DEPOT credit card took me four visits, five phone calls, and at least five hours standing in front of a customer service employee or manager. INSANE. Every single time they told me that I had to come into the store for them to process the return, even though they kept my returned items. I was ready to give up entirely, but ONE dedicated employee convinced me to try one more time. They also got my order of flooring wrong, didn’t show up until 6pm when they were supposed to deliver at 8am, and never answered phone or emails regarding my flooring order. I got a Home Depot credit card with 24 months zero interest, but when the bill came it did not reflect the zero interest special. That took countless visits and calls to correct. Never again will I do business with them, AND I tell everyone that will listen not to shop there. I would give them a minus 10, but for the one good employee. WORST.”

“Online ordering program is not efficient!! Program runs very slow and just becomes a waste of time. When tring to finalize a purchase, waiting for a code for verification, isn't worth the time either. Online purchases in the world is a great time saver in general, but Home Depot online program is more like dial-up. Shame on the company's leader to offer this service that is so inadequate.”

“It took me an hour and 5 people to get a refund for a delivery. Dave the manager at the Macomb twp, Mi store blamed it on being a online order. Here's the thing his store delivered the wrong fridge. Don't they look at the product before they deliver to make sure it's correct? The fridge had to be returned and I received the credit for the fridge but not the delivery. I was being charged for a delivery fee for a fridge that was the wrong size but delivered. According to the Online customer service it was still delivered doesn't matter that it was the wrong one. For some reason no one could comprehend that it was the wrong fridge. Doesn't matter how it was ordered, I ordered the correct size, the wrong size was delivered by Home Depot. Finally like Dave was doing me this great favor I got the delivery fee credited. But it took 1 hour, 4 phone calls and 5 people. Keep up the good work Home Depot.”

“Second time at the Manor Texas store. Zero customer service. You couldn’t find someone to help you if you were on fire. I went to the front three times to ask for help, no one showed. 28 minutes later I left without my wood. They were moving wood in the aisles, how about helping the customers who are in the store, the wood will still be there. Asked for the manager, they couldn’t “find” him. Ridiculous”

“I had a dishwasher delivered yesterday and was blessed to have angels disguised as Home Depot employees. . When i told Enrique and Brandon to just leave it on the porch they said they would install it for free for me and take out the old one that was terribly stuck.. They were knowledgeable on all my questions , polite, professional, and went above and beyond. They did a fantastic job !!”

“Was there about 7:30 am looking for an unusual size bulb for my recessed lighting. Adam Salazar came straight to me asking if I needed help. I showed him the burned bulb I had. He looked it up on the app and showed me how to look it up. We went straight to it. Usually, I have to search for someone to help me and most employees avoid eye contact so you don’t have to ask them a question. But Adam was awesome. He took the time to show me the website and how to look for it. He was a great help! He even called another employee (more familiar with electrical) to verify that what we found would fit the socket. Thank you, Adam for your help. I really appreciated it.”

“Purchased carpet about one and a half years ago. Home Depot used G S Floor design. They allowed this company to break the adjacent tile to the kitchen. The installer used a hammer and cracked the tile. Eventually the strip came off the other piece of tile. That I advised them of for over a year. They only fixed it when I fell down the stairs from the strip coming off. All of these back and forward. Have all of the email and pictures of how they messed up my house. Both company r liars.”

“Several of the employees at the Roosevelt store was very helpful on the floor helping me to find the things I was looking for,but the self checkout area was a bit unpleasant. The ladies that are supposed to help stood together just peering at where ever. I was having a problem, pushed help button, stood back and a young lady finally came over. I attempted to get a pleasant face, it never happened. She grabbed the items scanned them and no words. She did not show any pleasantry. I just guessed how to pay with my home Depot card. She left to stand and talk as a group with the other ladies. I was sorry I was bothering her is how I left feeling as I grabbed paper bags to put my items in and someone asked if you had to pay for them. I stood aside near the door to bag my stuff as the rain was pouring down heavy outside. It was just after 10 am on 10/30/25. We're they angry?”

“I ordered a refrigerator from home Depot and took off work for the delivery day they delivered the refrigerator which took them 30 minutes to get it in the house. Not only that the ice maker didn't work, they had to come back out 2 weeks later and deliver a new one after 3 weeks. The fan in the freezer started making a noise. They sent a guy out to fix it which all he did was bend it in a place. Now I'm waiting for another guy to come out and look at it again. This is the fourth date I've taken off work for a refrigerator. I lost more in wages then what I paid for the refrigerator”

“So I understand the problem with thieves. However when someone has receipts and tell you I've already paid my home Depot credit card off. I can't afford to wait for you to return money 10 days from that that I've already paid off. To refuse to at least put it on store credit so I can get materials for a job I'm finishing today so I can get a check cut after I know they can see you've paid you credit card off because theyve refunded me cash before because I had the card off. I've been a contractor almost 13 years and won't go into Lowe's. After my experience today. I'ma filing complaints with the BBB and looking to see if that's legal and now their one step close to lowes putting them out of business because I won't be back in there”

“Whatever you do, do not order blinds or shades from home depot. They contract with tri-state installations who are terrible. I spoke with someone named anna who would schedule my appointments and cancel them the next day without informing me of any cancellations. I would wait for the installment person to come who would never show up. When I would ask for a refund I would get the run around until anna fakes a disconnection. Avoid home depot and go to Lowe's, or blinds.com, or 3-day blinds.”

“On 3 occasions, when paying for Pro Service, they charged me for more units than I had purchased...2 at the Home Depot in Woodhaven and one on Northern Blvd. It seems like a systematic way of stealing from customers who buy large quantities of items. The excuse they gave me today at the Home Depot on Northern Blvd was that I would use the shelf checkout...? Good way to steal.”
