Ordered my dryer in nov, scheduled delivery was for 1/6/21 as it would not be in stock earlier. I wanted a plain, mechanical controlled dryer, not anything fancy. My husband and I both took off from work to be home. They either went to the wrong home or did not bother to come to the door and ring doorbell to let us know they were here. I did see a truck pull in front of my neighbour's house across the street and went out to check. It was not there for even 30 seconds before it drove away! No attempt to contact us! I have a security cam, and it shows no one came to our door! The delivery window was until 6 pm, but when I called at 4:15, the drivers had already gone home! We were their last stop, and they obviously wanted to go home early! Called to complain, all they can do is reschedule, not a help as I had my current one sold and the person coming to pick it up today. Called home depot too, let them know what had happened. I was considering hiring hd for several large renovations we are going to have done, but won't consider it now. If they can't even hire delivery people with enough common sense to get out of the truck and go to the door, I can only imagine what [censored]s they would send to do renovations! Their loss? Probably 40 to 50k. Will hire someone local!

Delivery scheduled for 10AM for a microwave, I received a message at 9AM the truck was 2 stops away so I rushed home to be there before 10. I saw the delivery truck outside my house at 9:45AM which again is earlier than scheduled. I had to reschedule my work to make sure I was home 10-2. I was there no later than 9:45.AM. I literally drove in the driveway and walked through my yard. I then waved at the driver and stood on the porch. The delivery driver started to back up so I thought he saw me and was coming up my driveway. He literally left and said I was not home, and the road was unsafe. He was literally 30 feet from me. I could have carried the microwave up the driveway myself. I received attempted delivery notice while I was standing on porch. I called them immediately and they would not turn around. They could not have been more than 10 minutes away. Now, I have to wait until the following week to reschedule the delivery. From these other posts, it sounds like Home Depot needs a new vendor. I get the delivery company is a third-party but the customer service falls back on Home Depot, and I will have to use

I just had the worse home depot refrigerator delivery ever. Home Depot hires an outside company. As they were changing the door swing from right to left they broke the top hinge screw. Everything else that follows was blamed on the cold from the truck. They told me that I would have to remove the Whirlpool Logo myself and move it to the other side since they didn't have the tools and the fridge was still cold. (It wasn't cold at all) When the freezer door is opened it scrapes the screws on the fridge door. The glue left on the front of the fridge they told me would probably not come off because they stored the fridge in a cold environment. They couldn't get the handles on so they just left them on my kitchen sink. It's unbelievable how these guys are still working AND THAT HOLME DEPOT CAN REMAIN IN BUSINESS WHEN THEY HIRE AN OUTSIDE COMPANY THAT JUST DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP.

I will never have anything delivered by Home Depot again. Go to Lowes! Great service. I purchased a dryer With delivery. I was told they would call 30 minutes in advance. They called and said if I wasn’t there in 15 minutes they were leaving. When I tried to explain about the 30 minute call, he hung up on me. I called the Home Depot Delivery people and was put on hold for 30 minutes. My wife happened to be there. They installed the dryer but not the new vent or steam hook up. They didn’t let us know they were done and just left. Quite a different experience than the washing machine we bought from Lowes. They did an awesome job!

Ok, my wife and I are regular, average folks. Usually patient and kind to all. Ordered a basic fridge from Home Depot (HD). Purchased in person, not on line. First fridge delivered on time. Great! Damaged on side by fork life. Accepted it (as we needed a fridge) but contacted HD for replacement (this was done in accordance with instructions we had received initially...on what to do if appliance was damaged). Second one came. was bent on the bottom...it would not level out. But we accepted it as it wasn't dented on the side. I am handy and got it to stop rocking, but it is unstable. Waiting for the 3rd one. It isn't so much HD as the shipping/delivery services. The shippers dent the damn appliances or, as is the case with this current fridge, they dropped it on the front left corner as well as bowing the rear of the fridge...this is why it won't make solid contact with the ground. I am sure it came from the factory just fine, but it was really screwed up in shipping and handling. Oh, by the way, it is NOT a SAMSUNG. Samsung used to be an excellent company but their upper management has given in to cheap construction to make higher profits obviously. Don't buy Samsung...I have my own stories about that company. Anyway, still waiting for #3. I will not let the delivery people leave until I am satisfied with this new one...if it fails, they can take it back to the truck. So far, I tip the delivery drivers 20 bucks each as a kindness and I am now out 80 bucks (2 deliveries, 2 men) which was the rebate amount I got from HD for purchasing from them in the first place. Crazy. I am in central ohio, just about 12 miles north of the HD store. Dec 2022

The WORST experience EVER. Do NOT buy GE or Home Depot products. They have shipping companies that are terrible. They scratched my floors and completely ruined my front deck. They did not use any floor coverings at all. The companies boss Moses [protected] gave me a claim number that does not reach anyone. Now he will not call me back and he sends me to voicemail. RUN RUN RUN from Home Depot and GE. They will mess your house up bad. When I called Home Depot they said its not their problem. It is the shipping companies problem. Frustrated. No place to turn, HELP.

Still having the worst nightmare with delivery of an LG Washer ordered at Home Depot online. It’s been 46 days of no washer! Rescheduled and no-shows and hours and hours on the phone! Missed work and $$$ at laundromats. Another delivery was supposed to be today (Day 48) and just called and found out it’s now next week (again!) 🤬 Cannot believe a company can operate so poorly! One sec away from taking legal action….

They were supposed delivering 4 appliances today and nothing happened after waiting over 2 hours. The story is the trucker showed up and kept circling with his truck around the property whining that there is no parking spot for the 48 foot. I told him straight there has been numinous deliveries from HD in the past that they simply pulled over on the side walk or parked in the parking lot then and dropped off the appliances. Instead of pro-actively looking for solution, he smoked inside the truck, texted some photos to the office for the reason of disable to delivery. He gave me a cold look and then took off. I called HD right afterward and their advice is go ask for small truck delivery next time and each time from now on to avoid the issue. Not sure the delivery company changed the policies or not in the past 6 months, what used to be doable now becomes incapable. All I can do is to swallow my frustration and wait for the redelivery on a small truck 7 days after.

I just had the exact same thing happen. I took the day off, the truck pulls up 5 minutes before the end of the 4 hour window. They sit in the truck and drive away. I spend hours on the phone and am told they tried to call me and that there wasn't parking. Both lies. I assume they wanted to finish their day so my leaking refrigerator was left to keep destroying our floors. Home Depot appliance delivery is trash.

So, after a lot of hours dealing with Home Depot I kind of narrowed it down. I had ordered a Samsung washer and dryer from HD and it was to be delivered to my house in CT. The delivery day they refused to deliver due to icy driveway. Ok, there was some ice on it (800ft of dirt driveway that's fairly flat that had also been sanded) but that same day we had FedEx, UPS, USPS and our Oil filled up with no issues. Three days later, after 40deg weather an 95% of driveway cleared and the 5% with ice that was heavily sanded down, they refused again and after questioning it, I was hung up on. Called HD again and realived they are calling Samsung which in turn is calling a 3rd party delivery service (GE Delivery) to sort this out. So after squeaking a lot, I was given a date for delivery and 30 minutes later I get called back that the washer has to be returned due to damage and they don't have one in stock. In CT, all deliveries are put through GE Delivery Services and you can't find their website anywhere to complain. From my understanding, all the stores use them and regardless off which store, they will most likely be going through GE Delivery. I tried to find a vendor who didn't go through them but to no avail, no bueno. Glad I wasn't getting a GE appliance. They can kick rocks.

I wish I had seen this page before buying my fridge from HD. Having same delivery issues as everyone else.
All I can say is NEVER AGAIN will I buy anything from Home Depot. If you haven't made your purchase yet, and are reading this board, BE AWARE. Do yourself and your sanity a favor and give your business someplace else.

Been trying to get a refund for three weeks now on a Frig I refused delivery on because of damage also canceled order that day. Was refunded delivery charge and install kit very shortly. However the Frig is a different story ! Still sitting on my 761 dollars and told will be 5 more days before I get it ! The people I have dealt with seem most helpful and even follow up where this all seems to fail is management and corporate. They could help themselves out by doing their own deliveries but I guess that lets them pass the buck and hold on to your money longer. Very unhappy and will no longer buy big ticket items from Home Depot. Buyer be ware ! T Dog

We bought a washer and dryer from home depot. They said they could have it delivered the next weekend. But when we got to filling out the paper work it was going to be two weeks. We had made arrangements for a friend to pick up our old ones. So for a 10 days we are without. The day of the delivery the dryer was brought in and hooked up no trouble. But when they brought the washer in it looked like someone had taken a hammer to it. We refused it. We waited for several days to here from home depot, but we did not. I called the salesperson and of course she said she knew nothing of our problems. She would check in to it and call us back. Several more days went by did not hear from them. Called and was told they should know something the next day. She did call and tell us it would be 3 more weeks before they could deliver another washer. This is just bad business. Tried to call the salesperson back and she never answered her phone. Was going to cancel the order or ask for a discount. Never again.

Do not use delivery! I have learned my lesson.I brought a washer and dryer at the store they was wonderful. However the delivery service is the worst ever.The night before NO call!Next morning NO call. Just email only. I did not request them to use my email cell only.I called to find out its 230p 630p. On the day of delivery my wife took the day off to be sure someone would be here.Once again NO call. At 4pm i call to find out they will be here at 8pm, At 745p i call back to find out that at 445p they showed us not home and once Again NO call.The only thing they can do is another 2 weeks out, a month in all.That is unacceptable but they DONT care!I cancelled my order got a full refund left home depot drove to Lowes and brought a washer and dryer to be delivered 8 days earlier than Home Depot. Do yourself a favor for appliances head on over to Lowes .

Well, I called the day before when I knew my delivery date and stated my granddaughter 4 years old had her first performance at 12:45 they said no worries and double check with the delivery company that I was second to the last between the 125 delivery spot and they would call 30 minutes ahead of time they called before my granddaughter even got on stage and said they would give me until 1:00 to 5 I asked for 15 extra minutes so I can see her get on stage and perform they said no 145 as long as will wait. They call me at 1:40 where are you ... I was around the corner I said I pull up there not here I call them and ask them where are you? They said we're close. They went ahead and delivered the last delivery and I suppose they're on their way here I have not seen them yet and I did ask if they could do that when I was at the performance they said no. On top of that they were rude sharp tongue to the point with no exceptions and here they never showed up on time. I called customer service I'm waiting for the delivery company to get back to me so I can talk to them I will not let this go without a word being said. It seems you're at their beck and call for whatever move the delivery person is an and how much time they want to spend they wanted to get through and go home at 2 oclock I imagine. Well 2:30 and still not here. I missed the most important 1st performance from my 4 years old granddaughter. For no reason except the delivery seemed to love to have some strange control. Sham on them...

Home Depot us the WORST place to buy appliances . Their terrible 48 hour return policy is a fraud ! Lowes has a 30 Day return policy ! If you get a defective appliance from Home Depot you are just stuck with it and screwed !

We ordered and paid for a refrigerator/freezer from home depot with delivery, which we also paid for. Wife took time off from work to wait for it. Not only did we not get it at the specified time window, we didn't get it at all. Home depot appliance delivery is negative. They do not deliver as promised and the won't give you a refund, only store credit. In my opinion, the home depot is criminal. I will not be shopping the again due to this incident. Thumbs down for the home depot. This is "customer no service". I hope they get sued and run out of business for their incompetence and just plain lying to get peoples money which they won't refund.

HD Delivery Sucks

Ordered a refrigerator from HD. The first delivery didn't show up, I called and the truck told me they don't have the item on their truck. So I rescheduled. The 2nd delivery they didn't show up either. I called and the call taker doesn't know why, just rescheduled next week again. I've wasted my time waiting for them and they don't care. I have no confidence with HD's delivery contractor.

Warning - HD, get rid of this delivery company. It is making you look really bad. My Costco delivery company delivered the washer/dryer the first time. Your delivery company sucks. I will buy big items from Costco, but will not buy big item from you if it will be delivered.

We recently purchased a stove and an above the range microwave from HD..was originally suppose to be delivered on May 28, 2021. I waited around all day to find out that the delivery driver went to the wrong house without even trying to contact me and when I called HD I was informed that they were too far away to return so it needed to be rescheduled for the next day..Day 2 we waited around all day again just to have the truck arrive and tell us our appliances were not on their truck and they weren’t sure where they were...Called HD AGAIN and was told that they were never taken off the other truck from the day before so we needed to reschedule for the next day..Day 3 I got a call from the delivery man to tell me they were on their way, I explained the description of my house and how he could find it and 20 mins later I heard the truck pull up and stop at my neighbors ONCE AGAIN so I had to run up the street yelling for them. This company is beyond ridiculous when it comes to their delivery service..the average person can’t afford to take off work 3 DAYS in a row for their screw ups! Never again will I be ordering anything from this company.

Bought new GE washer and pedestal from Home depot. Originally ordered October 28th 2020. Delivery was changed from end of November to December 3rd. Delivery men arrived and removed items from truck and took washer and pedestal out of boxes and set them in street and proceeded to assemble them after asking spouse to borrow his screwdrivers then his power tools to assemble since theirs weren't working. They broke the brackets that hold washer to pedestal. They said they could still bring them in and I could call Home Depot to order new ones and I said no. They said they would return items and explain reason. Called HD next day and it took 5 days before I discovered deliverymen had said I plain refused items so everything was cancelled. HD associate placed second rush order to arrive Dec. 29th. Delivery service called and said persons partner had quit that morning and could they deliver it anyway and someone would be there Dec 31st to install, I agreed. these men partially assembled then carried washer and pedestal in separately. placing washer on pedestal they dropped it on. After they left I realized drawer was bent out of shape, they never put feet on pedestal and cut up my tile. I discovered this the next day. Took pix and went in Jan. 3rd, was told I should have come in on 1st or 2nd but they would turn it in and it should be covered on warranty. Waited over 2 weeks calling frequently before they said it would be covered. Manager stated it would be delivered Mar. 18th and I would need to hire handyman to install. When pedestal arrived they delivery people noted instantly how bent old pedestal was and gouges in floor. They apologized for previous damage which they didn't cause. Still looking for a handyman. Home Depot has lost my business for appliances. Rate 2
