“Ryobi sale buy a battery kit and get one tool free- huge display with many tools set up. Went to buy the vacuum and was told it’s not part of the deal- though there is a vacuum on the flyer and the sign said tools $199 and less- this vacuum was marked $199- was stocked under and with all sale items/ evidently the skew was different. Manager and staff made us feel crazy and like scammers ourselves- this was SO MISLEADING- NOT CLEAR. Poor marketing at the very least. Most importantly- there was no other vacuum to buy!!!! We couldn’t get a different “correct” vaccum- just can’t do that deal, can’t get a new vacuum. We have many ryobi tools- including a vacuum that is beginning to fail. We frequent Home Depot as our first choice diy store. It is evidently more important for Home Depo to ensure skews match than stand by what they advertise and surely we now know the customer is NEVER right. We don’t matter. I will work very hard to buy ONLINE any required ryobi products to maintain the existing tools I have, and not at home depot. We will also be trying to move away from ryobi. I just feel screwed. Btw- we do have photos of the display, the signs, the products that are priced as required. Am not posting now, but would love to follow up with that if needed. And our referrals to friends will NEVER again be for Home Depot or ryobi.”

“Military vet, almost four years employed. Management style is passive agreesive to say the least. If you advocate for yourself, you are then ostracized, and systematically targeted until you either quit, get fired, or if you're smart; file with the EEOC before you get fired and use that time to build your case. And be sure to utilize the Federal and State statues i.e. "One Party Consent". This law allows you to audio record ANY AND EVERY conversation you have with your managers or anyone else. The great part is you do not have to inform them that you're recording! This is how you when a case against them!”

“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.”

“I have spent TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars shopping at Home Depot -- an entire kitchen remodel, all of my major appliances, all of my ceiling fans, all of my bathroom upgrades, etc., all within less than a year. And they're REFUSING to take back a $145 toilet with a hairline crack? Their reasoning is that I have reached a 'limit' on returns -- gee, does that include the shower stall that also arrived with a CRACK, a WRONG ceiling fan, and toilet kits that NEVER ARRIVED? (As confirmed with UPS.) I reviewed all of my returns and they don't even add up to $1K. And they were replacements for the EXACT same and/or correct items (and not some returns 'on a whim'). So basically, the message is that if you continue to shop with Home Depot they will eventually STICK YOU with a damaged product. I guess when you're a publicly traded company with numbers in the billions you don't GIVE A RIP about your customers. But guess what? It's CUSTOMERS that Home Depot is SUPPOSED TO BE serving, it's CUSTOMERS that put them where they are. Perhaps contractors are the only ones they wish 'to serve.' I was planning on making more large purchases from them but NO MORE. Why would I take that chance? They have lost a HUGE, LOYAL CUSTOMER. I know that may be a drop in the bucket, but I am a firm believer that business practices like this eventually DO NOT lead to prosperity in the long run.”

“Their website really needs to explain when you select delivery. Delivery is assumed to be delivery from home depot not ups. Some how in check out it should state your item is coming not HD but UPS. We were shocked to get a shipment notification instead of a delivery notification. My husband is 70 I'm in a wheelchair. How are we supposed to get it in the house? We chose delivery for that reason so a Home depot rep would be bringing it in the house. Not dumped at front door. Also filled a customer support form out and have been totally ignored. Will see hope it's not damaged by ups.”

“We have been waiting for two weeks for a delivery and install job. Called eight times to make sure we're home for it. Three times now, we've been promised a time window and that they'd call before arriving. Three times, they showed up at the wrong time or even a full day early with either a phone call from our driveway or a note on the door about a phone call they never made. Three times, I've called with only my wife's phone number and got an explanation and every time my wife calls, they won't talk to her without an order number. The phone bank ladies are very nice with the apologies; everything else is absolute chaos.”

“Ordered several items for delivery. Midway through the day, the tracker showed no updates, so I called for some kind of reassurance, but 5 different people told me they couldn't track the package, couldn't confirm it was on a truck, couldn't help me. Never received the delivery. Never received an explanation or apology --nothing! It was like I didn't matter at all. Very weird business model!”

“Don’t shop at the The Home Depot in The Dalles, OR. They treat all their customers like thieves by keeping everything locked up. Then when you ask for help to unlock an item, nobody shows up. I have waited 10 to 20 minutes on several occasions, often without getting service. Taking my business to Ace.”

“The delivery service provided by the company was extremely disappointing. They failed to communicate any issues and installed the range without testing it beforehand. I was pressured to sign a document quickly as they were in a rush to move on to their next job. Unfortunately, the stove does not work and none of the other appliances were installed either. The dispatcher for the third-party contractor was just as unhelpful as the delivery crew. This has been the worst experience and I strongly advise against purchasing appliances from Home Depot. It seems they have not properly vetted their contractors for installation jobs. In hindsight, I should have bought directly from the manufacturer. I will not purchase any other home items from the Home Depot. They will not get any more of my business. I am now without a stove and micrwave and highly regret using The Home Depot to purchase this appliance suite. Invest and purchase from the manufacturer.”

“For the 2nd time in 3 days and the 3rd time in 2 weeks I have placed online orders for curbside pickup at HD Downers Grove, IL. Each time I have used the app and properly alerted them I am here for pick up. Each time I waited at least 15 minutes for my order to be brought out. Each time I have had to go into the store to get them to locate my order and bring it out to my car. This is NOT curbside folks. Fix the problem.”

“Ordered A Dishwasher but when they came to install it I was told that they can't install it because the Dishwasher tail piece had to be Brass and not PVC. Every plumber in this country installs PVC tail pipes under a sink because Brass is too expensive and rots out just as easily as plastic. Shame on Home Depot. They must have an IDIOT figuring out this stuff. Well the just lost a sale and a long time customer because there idiots”

“Online tracking says my order has been sitting somewhere in my hometown for nearly a week. They keep moving the projected delivery date. I need it installed ASAP for my tenants. I can see that the delivery promised date is not accurate with HD. Never again!”

“I ordered shower doors that were to be delivered last Tuesday, May 28. Delivery showed up as scheduled, but in a wooden crate and was going to be left in the loading dock of my building. I am a 76 year old 105 lb widow. How the hell was I suppose to get that crate to my 6th floor condo and opened? The delivery team from Central Delivery, Home Depots contracted delivery agent said they were simply directed to drop it and go.Not what I was told when I talked to Home Depot customer service. As a result I refused delivery and immediately contacted Home Depot customer service, yet again and was assured it was their mistake and that the delivery instructions had been to deliver to my door. I rescheduled delivery for the following Monday, today and in the interim, I checked back with Home Depot customer service two times to get absolute confirmation that I would receive delivery of these doors uncrated and to my condo door today. I found out this morning that there would not be delivery today. My order had been cancelled. Also while talking with customer service, each time they put me on hold, I had to listen to Home Depot's spiel about" customer safety". Obviously they do not consider the safety of their delivery recipients of any concern. Shame on you Home Depot! Beware of what customer service tells you. Their only concern is to tell you what you want to hear. Not the truth!! Im going to black ball Home Depot. Wayfair will be my go to for my shower doors!”

“Ordered a washing machine and was told it would be delivered on Sat. between 12:30 and 4:30. Couple hours before received a text saying they had truck problems and couldn’t make the delivery. It also said it would now be out for delivery on Tuesday! Why not Monday? Called and tried to reschedule as I wouldn’t be home that Tuesday. Talked with associate who told us they could bring it Wednesday. Wasn’t happy with this option but decided to go ahead with it. As she put it in she said it would be Thursday! I asked what happened to Wednesday? She said it must have filled up! Personally I feel if an order is canceled one day it should take precedence over newer orders! Ended up canceling the order and was told I’d get a refund in 3-5 days! Funny, they took the money out of my account the day I bought it! Lip service is awesome at Home Depot!!! Delivery service not so great!”

“I purchased a queen size bedframe with drawer storage after opening the package one of the drawers had a crack I called Home Depot they offered me 15% off or to return it I chose the 15% off continued trying to put it together one of the pieces was missing two pre-drilled holes and then when I finally got it all put together I come to find out that The hardware for the drawer sliders are probably the cheapest sliders you can possibly get because my drawers will not properly align. My advice is to stay away from online purchases and DIY products from Home Depot.”

“I bought a dryer machine and range. The delivery day was set for Tuesday 5/28. The day before we received an email that the delivery will be rescheduled until Wednesday 5/29. We waited all day and moved all the old stuff out of the way. There was no phone call, no show up, no delivery. The next morning on Thursday we called the hotline to hear that the delivery will be rescheduled again for June 3. What kind of service and delivery system is that? People who have their stuff break down and go buy a new one will expect their things to be delivered on time. Home Depot will never have business from me again.some head quarter need to know about this”

“Rescheduled a refrigerator install. Home depot associate apparently lied to me and didn't put it in the system. The installers just showed up at my house during my work hours and interrupted a patient virtual office visit. Called Home Depot store, they said there was no change in the system. Been on the phone for 2 hours trying to reschedule. Have to wait a week now for a refrigerator. I have a small child and need a refrigerator. Please do not buy from Home Depot for anything that requires install services - the experience was horrible and still isn't over.”
