“AVOID home depot RUDE managers. They take NO responsibility for their action. I paid thousands of dollars (yes Thousands of dollars) for a project, they damaged my home ( all electrical wires exposed) job not done. When I called the manager, she said, " you have to pay for it" I said so you get 12000 dollars, do not finish the project and I have to pay more money? She said" yes"”

“Hanaja Installers, a subcontractor for Home Depot, installed doors at my home. The installer asked what did it want to do with the doors he removed . I told him to put them on the side of my garage. After the installer left I noticed he put the old wood trim on the curb. There were several nails sticking out of the wood. the old wood was blown into the middle of drive by. I came home from work not knowing that wood was there and ran over the nails and had 2 flat tires. the installer simply lied to Home Depot and RF Installations that I requested the debris be placed on the curb. Common sense would say I would not request any debris placed on the curb but more importantly, he never asked. Home Depot and RF Installations do not get the bigger picture. Whatever if a person had gotten hurt on the nails. Contractors should remove any debris and not assume it will be pick up the city. If I lived in the county with public trash pick up, would he have placed the debris on the curb. Probably not. This contract simply lied and Home Depot honored his lie.”

“I live in Lincoln MT, Home Depot did a cabinet delivery through NSD out of Bozeman, had a missing cabinet, their delivery guy acknowledged it, but now they are saying I received my total order and will not research or refund. I order another one, suppose to be delivered on Friday, between 7 am and 11 am...we wait around until 4 pm and then had to leave and didn't return home until today, 3/28/2022. I got notification that they dropped it off Friday at a 8:30 pm. When we get home they dropped it off on our driveway, and we have a covered porch. If it had rained or snowed over the weekend it would be ruined.”

“Customer service at the Preston hwy store in Louisville KY is a joke. There are several other home depots in our city. I strongly suggest using a different store.”

“I am very disturbed and disappointed that there is a Home Depot employee worksheet out there called "Unpacking Privilege". I have been shopping at the Fairfax, VA Home Depot for years. I will be cancelling my Home Depot Credit Card, and I will no longer be shopping at Home Depot. See you soon Lowe's.”

“I went to the home Depot today and purchased lawn products. Went to check out and showed my ID that clearly states veteran on it front and back. The cashier continues to tell me that I do not qualify because it is not one of the accepted IDs with their changed policy. I served 7 years the United States Air Force in multiple conflicts. And have never been told that my idea was accepted. I will never step foot back in a home Depot for lack of their patriotism. And I will tell every person that I know on how they treat the veterans that have served this country proudly.”

“I will never buy another high dollar item from them again, especially online. I purchased a Treager Smoker for my husband for his birthday. The estimated delivery was on his birthday, March 16, and as things happen, it wasn't delivered. I checked with the delivery company that Home Depot uses, they had no records of the item. Called Home Depot they told me the shipping company did in fact have it, but that Home Depot forgot to send the ticket and that it would be delivered on the 18th. For the heck of it, I called the delivery company the morning of the 18th, still no record of it. So Monday, the 21st, I asked Home Depot to cancel it. They said they would, but it would take 72 hours to confirm it because now their records show it was supposed to be delivered on the 22nd... needless to say it STILL DIDN'T COME. Called Wednesday, they tell me it is supposed to be there on Thursday... I told them I would call my CC company and dispute the charges, but I was trying to give HD a chance to redeem themselves. They gave me a song and a dance about canceling it, and "when" it shows up Thursday to refuse the shipment, but "claim" the return is in process. (which is what they told me Monday, and clearly wasn't canceled) Although the Customer Service Representatives were nice, the outfit as a whole, is very lacking. I feel they just gave me the run around and were trying to buy time for their mistakes, but I will go to my local small business before I use this big box store again.......”

“Example of poor quality. Here is the lamp I bought at Home Depot Woodside NY. After only a few days the bottom started crumbling. See the awful result which is also scratching the floor! Most of the stuff they sell is extremely low quality.”

“I purchased a refrigerator from the store in Calgary Alberta on Sarcee Trail NW. The compressor on my refrigerator stopped working so i needed a refrigerator immediately. Jaydeep Prajapati helped me. He was excellent very personable and knowledgeable as well as helpful. He showed me several fridges we talked about my needs and the quaility and characteristics of each unit. He then offered me several choices. Once i chose the unit he was most accommodating in terms of sale. He made my experience with Home Depot very pleasant and stress free. I came away feeling confident with my choice and happy with the price.”

“I wish I could give less than one star. I purchased an electric fireplace unit on January 30 (2022) with the extended warranty. The unit arrived outside the noted delivery time; once received, the top mantle of the unit was damaged on the end. I immediately contacted Home Depot for a replacement part (my husband and I had begun building the unit and were almost done until we saw the damage. The top portion of the mantle was the last piece to attach). I was referred to the manufacturer (Twin Peaks) who took my claim, assigned a case number, and assure me they would replace the unit, and they never did. This went on for weeks; most of the time no response or I was given the same message. After a little over a month, finally asked for a refund since I wasn’t being supported and there was no initiative to replace the broken piece. I was told I would have to purchase bubble wrap to prepare the unit for pick up OR breakdown the unit and prep for shipping. Then told I would be granted a refund, AFTER the unit is picked up. Call was escalated, still no resolution. I recommend not purchasing anything from Twin Peaks and I will not be purchasing from Home Depot moving froward. Home Depot, your ability to service the customer is nonexistent. I’m terribly frustrated.”

“I hope someone in the corporate office reads this review I was hired at the Homedepot on battlefield blvd on December 16 recieved an email from homedepot that my back ground check should be complete by 3 3 2022 I went to the store and talked to the same person who hired me said she would check into it never called.me back then called the HR department corporate office and she just made all kinds of excuses as to the problem did not want to do anything. Do not apply to homedepot for employment they just jerk people around and people want to work it's problem like this is why they do not have people to work. Mitchell Dunlow”

“Went in to buy a microwave. Did not have in stock, sales lady said they could ship to my house for 50 some odd dollars. I said no let me buy it and when it comes in I will p/u I work 3 blocks away. We did transaction got receipt and it looked a little high. Checked it she charged for shipping. I said I am picking up in store, she told me I had to pay to ship it to the store(by the way I would have to wait a month to get it) Well the Lake Manawa homedepot can keep their microwave and I went to Amazon got same one 50.00 cheaper and will have in 4 days. Good luck home depot you will be giving away microwaves for free before I step into that store again”

“I presented the original receipt and item to customer service. The inexperienced & arrogant rep. said, "It's NOT on the receipt OR the Credit Card". (She NEVER even read the receipt or UPC code on item to be returned. Only scanned bar code on receipt.) She attempted to dismiss return transaction entirely. I confronted her and pointed out the item IS on receipt and product codes DO match. And ONLY then I received a refund. There are some good customer service reps and some that need to be AVOIDED and REMOVED completely. Beware who your dealing with and always have your original receipt or you may be dismissed and NOT get your refund on the Credit Card. And don't let them issue you a "STORE CREDIT". You eventually will be BANNED from a returning item w/out a receipt. What a way to start off the day. POOR! In addition, she didn't want give me back my original receipt. WOW!”

“The worst place to shop. Zero customer service bad attitude shitty management. Everyone I deal with and Homedepot she’s like they’re just there since they cannot find another job. Much rather deal with those much better personalities.”

“We purchased a washing machine to be delivered Sat. The only reason O chose that particular machine was the delivery date. Saturday morning we had not received a call for the delivery window. I pulled our order up on line to discover an issue with our order. I called to be spoken to down to and hung up on twice. I still have no washing machine and no information as to if or when we may see it.”

“We ordered all new appliances expecting an installation that we paid for. Called and was told to call again in the morning to discuss with the delivery team. I’m aggravated that we are doing the installation ourselves. Do not understand how we can pay for services and extra parts. I do not blame the delivery team because they are just following the orders on their invoice. Just super irritated and disappointed in the lack of follow through with customer service.”

“I ordered 8 drawer pulls. 7 arrived. I called to have the remaining pull sent. First call disconnected. The second person had to find someone to process the missing item. I'm still on hold. So why are there customer service employees if they can't simply send an under $10 item? Meanwhile, I listen to the same recorded messages over and over and over. I'd send an email, except I can't find an address. I'm guessing they just want you to hang up.”

“I ordered a Patio Door online for in-store pick-up, the order took 2 months in arriving at the store, they finally got the door but not the same one I ordered, they asked me if I want to re-order and it will take 2 months more to come, so I decided no to do it, is totally unprofessional and customer satisfaction-less. Also 6 months ago I bought a windows replacement service for 6 windows, after 3 months of waiting they came to my house to install 4 windows because they missed 2 windows in the warehouse so they need to re-ordered, now I'm waiting 3 months more to get the final 2 windows left installed. Do you think this is a serious company?, no way, I will never use The Home Depot ever again.”
