On May 27,2024 I ordered a $1,500. French door refrigerator at the Utica NY Home Depot. The refrigerator was delivered on 6/5/24 by an unmarked truck and 2 delivery boys. Both spoke broken English and had difficulty communicating with me and understanding me. They appeared in a rush as one boy rang my doorbell 3x and started banging on the glass storm door before I could get to it. When I answered the door he was shouting "Home Depot", "Home Depot". I told him yes I was expecting HD delivery. He turned and ran back to truck. The other boy had started to tear the wrapping/box off the refrigerator while it was on the truck platform. He threw the styrofoam and plastic wrap on the platform and the wind quickly blew it all off the truck into the street and neighbors yards. He grabbed a few pieces of plastic and stuck them in the truck. the other styrofoam blew around my yard and down the street. He did not retrieve any of it. He loaded the refrigerator onto a dolly and pushed it through the grass to my door. He and his helper attempted to bring the refrigerator into my house through the front door. It was clear at that point that the wrong size refrigerator was delivered but both boys attempted to force it through my front door. When they gave up trying the entire wood storm door framing was scraped and broken, the metal on the door and frame was bent beyond repair. He had to remove the door prop attached at the bottom of the door, which he set aside. When they were done the door prop assembly had disappeared. He tried blaming me, saying I took it but he had thrown it in his trash box and it was never found. Once the refrigerator was inside the boys found that it would not fit through the other doorways to the kitchen They forced it through and had scraped the paint off the wood baseboards and walls so they had no choice but to get it back out to the truck and return it to Home Depot. Mainly because of the damage that was already done to the refrigerator and because Home Depot sent the wrong size refrigerator. More damage was done in the removal as they were still in a rush to get it back to the truck. Both boys remarked, "faster" to each other. In contacting Home Depot, I was given a full refund and discussed the behaviors of the delivery boys. A replacement refrigerator that was the correct size was ordered and scheduled for delivery TODAY! Guess What? The refrigerator was the wrong size AGAIN. This time it arrived 6/22/24 in a legitimate rental truck with 2 polite workers. It was brought inside and made it to the first doorway into a hallway when it was discovered that it too was again the WRONG SIZE !! They both apologized and said they will apply for a full refund for me. They removed the refrigerator and took it back to the truck to return it to HOME DEPOT. GUESS WHAT HOME DEPOT! You just LOST another customer.
