Home Depot
reviews and complaints

I bought 15 bags of your Scott's Earthgro Brown mulch when it was on sale 5 for $10.00 it is the WORST mulch ever. Color doesn't match, my backyard looks absolutely ridiculous. Now I have to spend more money to fix the problem. I am very disappointed with Home Depot and will probably never shop there again. I used to purchase mulch at the West Mifflin, PA store all the time and never had a problem until now.

I must say this whole experience has been a nightmare at this Home Depot. First I went to custom order some blinds and the guy in blind dept. ordered them online for me. After waiting well over a week I went to pick them up ...not even close to sizes I ordered. So I was given a refund and next day thought I would give them another try. Once again I was "helped" by a complete [censor] who has no business dealing with the public. I wish I got her name but it starts with an E I think. She had no clue and would not even listen to me and when I asked questions that were important to me she was condescending and got downright nasty and almost argumentative with me. Needless to say, I remodel condos and spend a lot of money at home depot-NO MORE I will never buy anything there again! She ended up quoting me a price for Bali blinds on sale for 450+ In frustration I left went to Lowes where the professional handled my entire order and questions in less that than 10 minutes and got the same Bali blind for 255. Goodbye HD You lost my business...I suggest hiring people that know the department. HD gives big box stores a bad name with bad hires like store sore obviously engages in.

On tues. June 6 2017 iwent to the home depot in new rochelle ny. While driving in the parking lot I was being blocked by a nursery worker (Contracted by home depot) she was taking pictures or a video outside the building where they display plants and vegatables to sell I waited a few seconds, she knew I was there but showed total disregard I was driving and looking to find a parking spot. I tooted the horn, she didnt even look my way. I waited a few seconds more an tooted the horn again. After that she wasnt moving. I waited and drove around her still standing (in the middle of the driving lane) when I pulled up to her she yells im working! I said thats great im driving. When I got out of the car, she starts yelling, "you called me a [censor]" "you said go back to your country" I said I want to see your manager. Ive never said such a thing. The manager on duty took my name and number. I told him this person is a contractor, but, she represents home depot. And I called corporate. They told me that I nothing to worry about, and that I was not on trouble. I couldnt believe it.

My name is Colin.
Last week we came to Home Depot store (Capitol expressway, San Jose, California). We ordered and we paid for an item.
Today we came to pick it up and the employee said that the stores accidentally sold it to someone else already.
I wonder how is that even possible. They did tell us that they would bring it to the pick up area and put a sticker on it and waited for us. Now it's gone.
My guess is that the stores didn't do things I mentioned above.
No. I don't want a refund. I want an answer from Home Depot about this issue

I bought a paint spray machine from home depot brampton store at 12pm today. And the paint doesn't come out from spray tip. I went back to store. The store manager said i finished my work and trying to return it for free use. It is 2:30pm now. What is the joke i use two and half hour to leave store and do my work and come back to store deal with both return staff and manager. No more homedepot for my shopping.

I went to a Home Dpot in West Seneca NY. Viewed on my cell phone that there was to be four units of a product in stock(Kohler toilet). An associate who was very helpful confirmed the product was in stock, but could not find it. The associate and I called another area HD, confirmed that they had the products. The associate in front of me, told the other associate
To deliver the products to the customer service desk and I would pick them up. Went to the other HD, and was told the products were on the delivery truck, but they, too could not find the toilets. The general manager was "sorry" for the inconvenience, but again could not find the product. Very sad that a international chain can't get there computers updated for there employees and the consumer. Well off to Loews, I go, thanks Home Depot.

On Sunday May 28th I asked my 24 year daughter to stop at the Home Depot in Dahlonega, GA to pick up 4 bags of play sand. She purchased the sand at the building supply department and asked a associate standing in the area name Zonk to help load the 50lb bags of sand in her trunk. The associate told her that he doesn't do that and she would need to find another associate. My daughter then found another Home Deport employee to assist her in loading these Heavy sand bags and he also told her she will need to find someone else for this request.
My daughter who recently injured her knee proceeded to load these 50 lb sand bags herself.
This is totally a lack of customer service and respect for a young woman needing assistance from 2 of your male No customer associates. Why couldn't these employee's assist your customer and if they were not capable of picking up a sand bag why didn't they get someone who could?

We purchased a carpet with $1.69 sqf price that was printed in the tag and when we paid they charged the price of $2.14 sqf.
We noticed the price the next day that we look at the reciepe and we look at the price again and it was $2.14. If the price was increase why the tag still say $1.69 when we bought it. If we wouldn't know that we could choice other kind of carpet in our buget. I feel deceive by the price. Not happy.

I am appalled at the lack of care (watering of plants) at the Oneonta ny store. Many many perennials literally dying from lack of water. Expensive rose trees and climbing roses literally wilted and flowers all dead and dropping. It pains me to see how unimportant these once beautiful plants are to these associates who run around totally ignoring these wonderul plants. Please investigate these behaviors . Home Depot, if nothing else, is losing many hundreds of dollars from sheer neglect.

Our lost Kitten was found by the security Gaurd working at the Home Depot at the Chula Vista .ca. location and then taken to her home where she claims lost it that evening. We were called by home depot informing us to pick up the kitten then When we went for the kitten the kitten we were told that the kitten was lost at the Home of the security Gaurd. They told us that it it was too bad and tough luck. This is a $250.00 purebred Siamese kitten. Once the Home Depot decided to take our cat home and then loses it is thier responsibility to make sure it gets back to us. We feel the security gaurd kept the cat because she told an other employe that she was going to take her to the vet. And when she called us about the cat she wrote "Are you going to pick up the cat or not" she doesn't have the right to keep the cat because we didn't respond right away also why would she say she's going to take our cat to the vet because it looked sick unless she wanted to keep it. Home Depot is responsible for taking our kitten home then losing it. Why would she leave a sick kitten outside in a box anyway?

I rented a tool from Manchester, NH Home Depot Tool Rental area. As soon as I returned home, I quickly realized it would not start. I called the clerk immediately who disparingly informed me that it likely had a "flooded compartment". I informed him that I had limited time to get the job done and would bring it back immediately for a refund of the $50 rental charge and $100 deposit. Upon bringing it back and waiting a long time to be helped, the person called a manager who didn't even look at me, no one greeted me, or even had any kind of conversation - all between the staff like no one existed. "Karen" processed a "void" and handed me a receipt that indicated $150 void. Next business day, no return of the voided funds to my bank. Same thing following day, then the next. I called the store and they laughed and said "this never happens" then another staff member laughed and said "oh, this sometimes happens, we don't know why and it may take awhile". I also called my bank who informed me that nothing had been submitted from HD. Once they did receive it, they could open a complaint and get any overdraft charges returned to me. At this point, I've opened a complaint to the NH Attorney General, as I heard that in this same store, someone was arrested yesterday for making a stink about not getting their money back. This is flat out wrong. If it was a refund, even THAT would already be in the bank. Someone is floating these voids. Bad business practice, bad customer service, and bad on a moral level also. If it's antiquated systems, they need to fix them.

Carpet install not finished, no one calls back. 2 weeks they still don't have the stairs done. I called home office in Atlanta...closed on Saturday. When I call flooring I get hung up on, 3rd time. Remnants taken from job site. Trying to sell a spec. house.

I use to work for Home Depot, customers first, not at the lansing store. Heads need to roll.

I also tried this scam. I went into Home Depot on May 14th the first day of the Menards 11% rebate and asked if they were honoring it. She said yes and gave me a paper with a website to go to redeem my rebate. We purchased a 400.00 mower. I went to the rebate page and there was no current rebate form only old ones. I then called and I was told they were uploading it to wait a few hours. 10 hours later I tried again my date was invalid. I called the rebate center to be told they started their rebate on the 15th even though Mendards started it on the 14th, So sorry was all I got. I called customer care and the store manager and both told me to return the mower and repurchase it. That was the only way. I live 30 minutes from a home depot. I will return it but I will not repurchase it and I have used it. I will also be cutting up my home depot credit card in front of the manager. This company has a lot to learn about how to treat customers. they should just send the rebate without me having to go back into the store.

I purchased a carpet for a home I purchased back in February, 2017. At the time of the purchase, Home Depot was running a special with free carpet installation. Also, Home Depot told me that the scheduled installation date could take up to 6 weeks after carpet arrives at the store. The installation was scheduled for early April, 2017, but on the installation date, the carpet installer inspected the new carpet and found a dark streak running almost the entire length of the carpet. So, Home Depot had to reorder the carpet. Neither Home Deport nor the carpet installer ever inspected the new carpet when it first arrived! If they had done so, they would have save the customer some time in waiting for the installation. But no, they waited until the very day of the installation, which was about 6 weeks after purchase, to find that the carpet was defective! When the replacement carpet arrived at Home Depot, which was a week later after the defect was detected, neither Home Depot nor the carpet installer would install the carpet right away. I have called Home Depot and the carpet installer and pleaded with them to have the carpet installed as soon as possible, but to no avail. I already paid for my carpet back in February and have been waiting patiently since February to move furnitures into the carpeted area. In the meantime, I really can't move into my home. Again, I had to wait another 6 weeks or more in order to have my new carpet install. Its now May, 2017, and I've just heard from Home Depot carpet installers that I've been scheduled for carpet installation for June 9, 2017. This is unacceptable! I will not let Home Depot get away with this! I will let as many people know about the terrible service that Home Depot gives once they have your money. I have not received any apologies or offers of compensation for this horrendous delay. Home Deport customer service is really, really terrible!

So I ordered a stainless steel stove by GE and when I was able to open it(just moved in to our new home and wanted every thing matching as I pointed out several times to the service rep. Come to find out it is not stain less steal it is gray painted and also it has in the inside of the door rust already I called and tried to get in touch with a store manager yet no where to be found and when I talked with that dept. Kelly she told me to bring it in and so I rented a haul to bring it in as I brought it in as careful as can be so not to damage the stove the rep. Bang it to put it in the cart and told them careful also they told me it was a special delivery which I was never aware all I was told in 2 to 3 weeks it would be delivered I was not able to return it the manager Dorren said he could not help me never to check was this the product in a error just said call the manufacture GE and they would help yet the GE manufacture sent me back with Home Depot so they have had me back and forth in the mean time my stove sits in my new home and has not been placed in cause it does not match the other appliances I purchased from home depot that are stainless steel I am very unhappy because no one gave us the great customer service we deserve as the good customer thru out the years and all the money we have spent and continue to do so, our new home I have spent more 5, 000 we just purchased in 4/2/2017 when we went to buy paint and appliances from home depot. Over the years I have made it a point to use home depot for all my household needs and up grading . You would think I could just get a little bit more help with my issue all I want it for my appliances match not a happy customer

I just left the home Depot store 4112, I just experienced the worst and most disrespectful service I've ever had at this store, I went to buy 120 cinder blocks, 10, 4feet rebars, 20 bags of ready mix cement, two shovels and an hand ax, all I wanted was to pay and have it delivered, first I went to the pro shop were I have my account, rep Chris was disrespectful and after cursing at me walked away just cause we wanted to have the items delivered, I the went to Customers sevice desk, were I waited over an hour to then be told no management was available and to go back to pro shop to place my order, the guy then brushed me off and called an other customer and tried to attend them, I ask to speak to a manager and told if I didn't like it to leave but he was not calling anyone, , never once I've I ever had or seen such disrespectful people in my life, I've been shopping at that same store for the past 5 years, and this will be my last time..that is no way to treat a long-term customer. ..

Today (5/5/17) I made an on phone purchase in your Rochester NH store. I requested the veteran discount and was informed that you (Home Depot) only accepted certain military ID.
The Commonwealth Of Mass offers veterans to have a veteran stamp on their MA drivers license after presenting a valid DD-214 to the MA registry.
It is very concerning to me that Home Depot does not recognize veterans by confirmed means when your competitor (Lowe's) does.
I will start bringing my business their way since they seem to appreciate the veteran service and commitment.

Bought shed from home depot store # 2758 on 3/1/17 missing parts / two door closer's stops display showed these are included. did not have"for display only" stickers on them as tuff shed claimed. several calls with no satisfaction. home depot rep. bill apel [protected] no help just gave me tuff shed's # and was told by steve, tuff shed rep. they do not sell those but could install them for an additional price. the display shed door had hinges, handle & locks. pamphlet had no upgrades on these dsoor closer's. I did not get what I was shown. I do not need them installed just provided. I sent pictures and have filed a claim, no response. the upgrades I ordered was one additional door, pt floor & roof vents. these door closer's I believe are part of the door function and they keep the door from blowing shut on me. it also closes the door tight. please help resolve this. home depot sells these door closer's. (see last photo) what makes this worse I brought this to tuff sheds attention and the display still has no display stickers on the closer's. this should have been a simple fix for 125.00 dollars. john martin [protected]

I placed an order online W595924023 today. One reason I purchased the mower I did was because it was suppose to be available for pick up today. The other reason it's replacing the mower I purchased from you 04/28/2017 and it was the best. Instead of getting an email to pick up I got an email stating the order was canceled and my money will be refunded in 3-5 days. I called the 800 number. They said Columbus has 4, but I would have to wait for refund. He transferred me the store and they told me nothing can be done. At this point I realize that since the money has already been refunded that not much can be done about that, but I think something could have been done. For instance order the product and keep the invoice open or transfer a mower from Columbus. I don't feel like customer service even tried. I hope they really didn't have in stock and they didn't just not want to check in the order. Maybe there's nothing I can do and it's just to bad for me, but this sucks. Anyway the web site said the price of $1099 ends 4/30/2017 it then goes back to $1199. Can I at least get the mower at that price since there is no way the money will be refunded by then?
Unhappy Customer.

I was shopping for low cost cabinets at the Goleta store. I approached Janet Thompson, a customer service representative sitting at a desk in the custom cabinet department. She was leafing through a catalog when I approached her. I asked, "which of your cabinets are the least expensive". Ms. Thompson rolled her eyes and said, I dunno know". I repeated my question, innocently assuming I hadn't been understood. Ms. Thompson gave me a condescending sneer pointed behind her head, and said, "look online or on aisle 37". She then looked triumphantly down at her catalog. Ms. Thompson had no intention of helping me. She could have asked, what kind of cabinet I wanted, where I planned to install the cabinet, she could have mentioned that Home Depot offers a planing service that comes to you home to help you, or any number of other questions including my name or saying something like hi, my name is Janet Thompson. I turned in the direction that she waived and headed toward aisle 37. I was livid, to the point of rage tears. I told my husband what had happened, and said I wanted to report it to management. I walked back to her desk, and politely asked if she had a card. She looked bewildered, and handed me her card. I spoke with the manager, who apologized.
