“I love Home Depot and have purchased my Christmas tree there for many years. Their prices remain reasonable where others have overpriced them tremendously. But this year the trees are way less quality than before. They’re trimmed to pencil-thin status and those of us who prefer a fuller tree came out pretty disappointed. I truly hope this was a one-year problem. Please give us a variety like you always have.”

“The worse company to do business with. I had all my house windows replaced. 2 of the bow windows they installed were dropping forward (so) home depo came out and replaced both bay windows. 2 years later the same 2 bay windows are dropping forward due to improper installation now the windows are not shutting again, and they are uneven and hard to lock anymore due to the top window frame pulling back out. I was warned about their warranty service it is bad really bad. they do not want to warranty anything. I been getting the run around for months now I have to have a lawyer step in. take my advice go anywhere but home depo for any windows or doors or siding etc. it's not worth the aggravation .”

“Purchasing an appliance from Home Depot has been the worst experience and I will never do it again. From start to finish, there were multiple steps of incompetency. First I tried to purchase a refrigerator online for delivery to Honolulu, Hawaii. I ordered the GE refrigerator in October for delivery in Nov. Delivery date set for Nov. 12. My new tenant is moving in on Dec. 1. Perfect I thought. The day before delivery, I receive an email stating the the delivery is delayed until Dec. 19. What!!?? Apparently, according to the sales person in appliances in Honolulu, GE appliances are always late/back ordered. Why set a delivery date online if you can't deliver on time? Since I have a tenant moving in on Dec. 1, I had to fly into Honolulu from the mainland to purchase a refrigerator on site to ensure delivery before the end of Nov. So I fly into Honolulu and go to the Home Depot in Honolulu. Susan in appliances helps me to purchase a refrigerator. She was very helpful. Delivery was set for Nov. 23. Perfect, it will arrive before the tenant moves in. When the delivery guys from Island movers show up, they notify me that the forklift has damaged the bottom of the box and the refrigerator is damaged. So they can't deliver the item. Darn! So I call home depot to explain what had happened and schedule another delivery date ASAP. I spoke with Jennifer, the manager in charge of issues in the appliance department. I explained what had happened and that I was in a pickle because of the damaged refrigerator and my deadline with the tenant. In addition, I was flying out on Friday Nov. 25. Jennifer was so rude and condescending telling me that none of what had happened was their fault and that I should just accept it. So we set another delivery date, Mon. Nov. 28. I had to find someone to take the delivery because I had already returned to the mainland. Then I get an email from Home Depot saying that the delivery has again been rescheduled. When i called Home Depot to find out what had happened, they said the Island movers delivery truck had broken down and everyone's delivery for that day was rescheduled. Ok, so sometimes trucks break down, understandable. When I call Island Movers to find out what had happened, they said that their truck did not break down, but when the delivery truck arrived at Home Depot on Monday, all of the appliances that were scheduled for delivery were blocked and the delivery guys could not load the items onto the truck. So in essence, Home Depot had lied to me about their truck breaking down. How unprofessional! So I called Home Depot back to reschedule the delivery. They say Dec. 1 (the day the tenant moves in). I contact Memo in Will Call/delivery to ensure that my refrigerator will not be blocked and will be accessible for the delivery drivers. He ensures me that they solved the issue by placing the items for delivery in another area of the warehouse, which is accessible for the delivery guys. This experience has given me high blood pressure and ulcers. The level of incompetence at multiple stages was incomprehensible and I will tell everyone I know to steer clear of purchasing appliances from Home Depot. This team needs to be retrained.”

“Do not buy anything from home depot that you need delivered. They use a 3rd party for deliveries and they have no way to contact the drivers. Was suppose to receive my washer and dryer between noon and 4. Didn't show. Called home depot and they said they have no way to contact drivers but heard they were having truck trouble. Received new email confirmation that delivery was updated to between 5:30 and 10. Called home depot and was told they don't deliver after seven and if I didn't get my delivery I would have to wait til the next delivery opening in 2 weeks! Nothing they could do about it because they use a 3rd party. Already waited 2 weeks to get on the schedule in the first place, now I have to wait 2 more weeks because they screwed up? So not acceptable and they don't care. Don't buy from home depot. #homedepotisawful.”

“If you plan on ordering scheduled delivery of more than 5 items - GOTO LOWES. It was a nightmare. First, they erased my order - and it took literally 2 hours on the phone to get it back; then when they delivered 1/2 of it was not there and it took hours being transferred time and time again. Finally, after all is said and done some items never came. However, I gave up and just went to Lowes to get what they did not deliver. Absolute nightmare experience.”

“Unbelievable! Ordered two roof shovels online. Paid for two roof shovels online. One shovel shows up 6 days later in a box marked "Qty. 2." $15 per hour minimum wage in Commifornia and they can't even count to two. Called customer service. Couldn't understand a word she said. My voice is still hoarse from yelling " What!" Send me my shovel. No. We'll give you a refund and you can re-order it. Now, I'm a reasonable man, quite handsome too. But this is absolute B.S. Time sensitive task, and no support from the ones at fault. Should've went to Northern Tool. Be safe, God Bless.”

“I went to the HD in Riverview and I was so impressed with the young man Kelvin. I normally am not big on posting reviews but needed to post this. This is the reason I choose HD over Lowes. I saw a older gentleman pushing a flat card with a huge water heater. I wondered to my self, why isn’t anyone assisting this guy. I saw a young man collecting carts on the lot and he looked across the lot and saw the gentleman as well. He stopped what he was doing and went over to assist the gentleman with such a great smile. So impressive, this is why I love HD!”

“the customer service in Home Depot was horrible, too bad beyond description. i went to shopping, the passing Saturday, in their Kingsbridge Store in Houston, Texas. i asked for a help and waited there for more than an hour. i didn't get it, yet, saw a lot of their employee lingering around doing nothing. one guy serving different section even entered an argument of my waiting time. plus, the air was stagnant, hot. it was a bad experience.”

“Home Depot needs to set up an email for problems with online orders. Of 3 items 1 did not arrive. The tracking said shipped and there it sat, not arriving. Tried the text option to check. Typing in all the info was a pain. they said they would get back to me about the order within 24 hours and never heard a thing. The next evening I called the customer service number. After pressing all the proper buttons, giving my order #, confirming my name, address, phone number trying to give the information. Problem was they also had the wrong tracking on the packages, so while I received one item the tracking showed I didn't and the other item I didn't receive tracking showed I did. I explained this to the service rep. He then looked at the tracking and told me I did receive the item I was saying hadn't come. Did he not listen to what I had just explained? As he seemed very unable to help me I asked for a refund for the missing item. He typed a bit and told me I would have to put in a charge dispute with my bank. Why would they not just refund my credit card? Must admit by 25 minutes on the phone I had lost patience. Asked for a supervisor. The phone sound cut out several times while on the phone, did it cut out again when I asked for a manager? Then it went to the survey. I called back again, went through everything all over again. This time at least I had someone who understood the issue and tried to help. So after 75 minutes between the texts, and 2 phone calls, I may get my refund after the item doesn't show up in 3 more days and when I take the other items back to the store. I did not enjoy spending an hour on the phone after a long day at work. Home Depot do better. I searched for an email address without success. With an email I could have typed everything in, in 5 minutes and waited for a response. I will not order from Home Depot again unless they get a better system if there are issues with an order.”

“When home depot first opened you could not walk down a isle without someone asking if you need help. Now after they put all the small hardware stores out of business you can not find help. I waited 30 min for someone to unlock the cage for the power tool so I could by $500 worth of tools after I asked for help and nobody showed up. Its cheaper to buy the same tools from amazon. 30% cheaper. Time is money and you loose money going to Home depot. I will pay more if i need something right away somewhere else so i will not loose so much time there.”

“Michelle from flooring was wonderful She was VERY helpful, VERY kind and VERY thorough. We bought LV flooring for our whole house and she made sure we got exactly what we were looking for, helped coordinate the installation, reviewed the measurement notes and made sure everything was in order. We could have never done it ourselves online without her. Thank you Michelle”

“CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS NOTHING! DO NOT STAND BY THEIR WORD! I have had the worst experience with Home Depot's customer service. I bought a dishwasher online and paid to have it installed by Home Depot. The dishwasher was installed incorrectly and had been leaking, unbeknownst to us, for a year! Black mold was in walls, behind cabinets, under our hardwood floors... We were told by the restoration team that our house was unsafe to live in and to leave that day. A sign, "DANGER! MICROBIAL HAZARD! KEEP OUT! AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! RESPIRATORS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE REQUIRED IN THIS AREA!" was posted at our home. That same day I contacted Home Depot. Home Depot referred me to a company called Temco, who they said installed it. It was proven that the dishwasher was installed incorrectly. At first the insurance company said they were looking into it. Then I was told they had no mold coverage! We did not live in our home for 9 months! I begged for help. The insurance companies would not pay for the damage they caused! They jerked my family around and are still jerking us around! It is now 5 years later. We filed a lawsuit, and at mediation (2 days ago- November 8, 2022) a lawyer, Michael Romeo, stood on behalf of Home Depot and Temco. BRIANO, et al. v. HOME DEPOT, U.S.A., et al. ADRS Case No. 22-5458-BAB Again, we were still being given the runaround. Our expenses have not been paid! Home Depot DOES NOT take care of their customers! Is Home Depot's Corporate office aware of what is happening to their customers? Have you (HOME DEPOT) been in contact with the lawyer, Michael Romeo, who is representing Home Depot and Temco? CUSTOMERS...GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HOME DEPOT FOR BUSINESS AND YOUR SANITY! Unsatisfied Customer, Dolores Briano”

“If only I could give a zero rating If only I could give a zero rating. You are truly better off with Best Buy or some other companies that have their customers' best interest at heart. Sometime in October, 2022 I made a purchase of over $8,000 worth of items and one of those is a dishwasher. On their initial delivery, the dishwasher was really messed up that they had to returned it for a new one. Forward 10 days later they brought and installed the new on but refused to take the old one with them even though I paid for that extra service (even the service from the delivery & installation guys was really bad too). I called Home Depot and was told that I didn't purchase for that extra service for them to take the old dish washer with. I was literally going back and forth with the sales person telling her that I purchased the service and that someone must have dropped the ball and forgot to include in my purchase. I asked if there was someone else to speak with to which she said there is nothing that could be done except transfer me to the store that I purchased the appliances; then perhaps they may (not guaranteed) send someone to pick it up; mind you I spend all that money the least she could have said was that someone must have forgotten to charge me or what have you for the service and that they will try to do it right. NOPE! I wish I could return everything I purchase but they don't accept returns. I just will NEVER EVER buy from Home Depot again. The only thing they care about is your money!!! Even the guys that delivered my purchase were rather unfriendly!! Date of experience: November 09, 2022”

“Shelves were unorganized, empty, equipment in aisles, out of stock items just to name a few. There were no checkout except at the lumber section. Self checkout with disinterested employees. My last time at Home Depot.”

“I got over $120 of plumbing stuff. Checked out. Asked the self-check employee to count my 10% military discount. He said I had to register on line. I tried , I told him, several times, it's impossible to get through the registration. "No it isn't " he smirked. After paying regular price I went to customer service desk. Masyn P. was there. He helped me register. I really liked his attitude, very helpful and courteous. And when the whole process was over it took about 40 minutes. Then he refunded me the military discount difference. Fine lad, fine guy. Thanks Maysn (yeah , that's how he spells his name.)”

“Purchased a new Bosch dishwasher on 10/25 online. Was supposed to be delivered on 11/2/2022. This company states they tried to deliver and call me. However my exterior security cameras show no one coming to my home, or even in my driveway except my cars. I also didn’t miss any calls. Called Home Depot customer service on Friday 11/4 and the customer service agent rescheduled for today, Monday 11/7 again no call, no show. This time called HD to get left on hold for 58 minutes. Then hung up on. Called back and waited 32 minutes for a supervisor to tell me it’s to late to get a hold of anyone at the delivery service but she could reschedule me (again) for 11/17 10 more days…… I stated that wasn’t acceptable and I wanted it delivered this week. She (Connie) got snappy with me and said she can refund my order if the 17th isn’t good enough…… HD has totally gone rock bottom when it comes to service and this delivery company they send orders to has nearly 5,000 reviews at an average of 1.5 out of 5 stars. Might be time for HD to wake the F up and start acting like they care about the customer. I’m done with this company.”
