Home Depot
reviews and complaints

Bought this pear tree in May 2022, kept it in the pot I bought it in to let it acclimatize to my backyard. Now, July 2022, it hasn't grown at all, no new leaves, nothing at all. I've been fertilizing and watering. Plants I got at thee same time had been exploding. So I decided to repot the pear tree, and while I was breaking up the soil it was potted in not only did I find TON of plastic, like from a plastic bag as well as several hard black pieces of plastic but I found an entire BATTERY! What if I had t broken up the soil, and ate fruit from a plant that was literally growing with battery acid. I'm 8months pregnant and this is absolutely horrifying.

To whom it may concern,

I purchased a Maytag washing machine from your company in June of 2019. On that day I also purchased the 5 year extended warranty plan. Recently, I started to find pieces of plastic in my wash and came to realize the lid was falling apart at the point it meets the hinge. This was causing the lid to rise up and the machine did not think the lid was closed and would not begin its cycle. Tape was applied so that the condition would not worsen and we would be able to utilize the washer. I reported the claim and it was given the # [protected]. After canceling the morning of the day they were to inspect the washer by text on 6-30-22, the text asked to reschedule to 7-6-22. I responded with 7-7-22 would be better at the original time of 1pm. The technician showed up unannounced on 7-6-22. He told my wife that he has seen this happen with the lids before. He informed her that we would receive the lid by mail within a few days. If we did not, we should contact his office to find out why. I was originally told that the technician put in his report that the door was forced open which caused the damage and the insurance company would not approve the repair. I then contacted HD protection plan to complain as this is not accurate or what he told my wife the day he inspected the washer. HD protection then informed me that the official reason in their computer was that it was considered “cosmetic” and would not be covered. HD protection agreed to send another technician out to evaluate the washer. This time the second technician came to the house and I was able to discuss how we were denied by the first evaluation and he said that he had seen this happen before and it should be covered. I asked him if the tape was a problem, I could remove it for him to change the lid. He said “no” as it was allowing the washer to work and he would have to order the lid. Once again we were told the claim would not be covered. This time the second repair company wouldn’t even tell me why and that I had to call HD protection again. HD protection Ironically gave the new explanation as “ the tape on the lid made it impossible to replace the lid”. I have been lied to and deceived by many people and companies over the past few weeks.

Home Depot has assigned this service out to HD Protection or Asurion as they referred to themselves. One would think that this does not shine a good light on Home Depot or the company they have chosen to work with. At this point, I feel that I have been scammed out of $135 for the extended warranty and will now have to purchase the lid on my own.

I will no longer be purchasing appliances from your store and will encourage all of my friends and family to stay clear. In regards to improving your customer service, you should consider discontinuing the “warranty” coverage all together. People should realize that they are on their own.

I don't want to pay money to get a darn response!

on the same day that the dryer was delivered [protected]) we noticed fading on the top of the dryer and that the panels were mismatched in color. We contacted home depot on the same day.

The name on the order is charlotte roberts. The delivery address is 3755 barrett drive, hood river. Please contact me, cathy roberts, because my mom has a hard time remembering details of phone converations. My number is [protected].

Hd contacted is to ask for photos. We sent the photos now you say that you did not get them.

I need to talk to a real person about what is going on!

In June 2022, In the store 7074, I purchased a dishwasher. The salesperson was excellent. There were none in stock, so he ordered one online for delivery that was promised between June 25th and July 4th.

When nothing had appeared by July 8th I began the first of several hours long phone calls with support toi find out what happened to the dishwasher. Nobody knew, and I had to start over several times with other numbers they gave me, including one to the manufacturer. Several agents promised to have someone call me back the following day after having investigated, but no calls were ever returned.

On July 26th, a month late, with no prior warning the unit was dropped in our driveway, without anyone even coming to the door. (we were home).

The packaging was badly damaged with parts of the box torn away and wrapped around with plastic cling wrap. We contacted the installers who came the next day, but when they unwrapped the unit they immediately noticed it was badly damaged on top, with the roof of the unit collapsed and what look like Fork lift indentations in the stainless enclosure.

They were therefore unable to install it, so I got back on the phone with support. Support promised they would have somebody call me the following morning to help resolve things, because the department that did that was closed for the day.

Two days have gone by and nobody has called. We still have no dishwasher and the kitchen is cluttered with the damaged unit sitting in the middle of the floor.

I can see on the waybill that the manufacturer shipped the unit within a couple of days of the order, so where it went in the ensuing thirty days is anybody's guess, but it clearly went through some rough handling.

All in all this was a terrible consumer experience. I would caution anybody to never buy an appliance from Home depot unless it is in stock and they can drive away with it the same day.

Contract signed 0n12/2/2021.Inatallationstarted 05/21/2022 First inspection failed and inspector wrote on the permit F B C 107 4 Missing too many anchors on 05/25/2022 and initialed his name. The following week the same people who installed the windows screwed a window that was not screwed at all screwed one of the bottom windows with 6 screws.

On 6/10/22 a different inspector came only checked atone window, I point out to the inspector all the missing anchors to close the windows properly, he responded to me, they will come to put them in place. On June 27 after calling Home Depot many times with no answer, I went online and spoke with someone for an hour and half, then I got a job # [protected] and was told someone will be there in 7 to 10 business day. Area installation specialist came, installed 3 anchors and took with him 3 other anchors to fix. He told me PGT manufacture of the windows has to come and fix one window so it can close properly, the installation specialist never return with the other anchors.

On June 2, 2021, we purchased a Samsung refrigerator from our local (Onalaska, WI) Home Depot store for a total of $2,540.74. The refrigerator was delivered on July 7, 2021.

On July 1, 2022, we started having issues with the refrigerator, where the ice maker started dispensing water rather than ice. The issues got worse and both the refrigerator AND the freezer quit working late that day on 7/8/22. Since that was the beginning of the weekend, we did not get ahold of Samsung until 7/10/22. A repairman came finally on 7/14/22, checked the codes, doing a diagnostic and we were told it was either the compressor or the control board. We ended up being WITHOUT a refrigerator from July1st, until the repair on July 26th when the repairman came back with the parts. He found that the control board was bad and told us that a compressor issue may follow. He installed the new control board which seemed to take care of the current issue.

We were told that because the refrigerator was ordered in June, that the one year warranty for parts & labor would not cover the labor portion. Our concerns are this...Since the refrigerator was not delivered to us until July 7, 2021, and our issues started on 7/1/22, we feel that the repair should have been covered. We are seniors, so our son came over and called Samsung to see if they would resolve this issue. We got a representative who said he was from "off-shore", and that he could not authorize the cost of the labor and trip. We could not understand him, as he had very poor English. The second representative who we talked to, said he was the supervisor, and would not help us at all, and was very unprofessional. He said that the refrigerator was 2 days past warranty, and that he could not do anything to help us.

We have been a good customer of Home Depot, spending $2,540.74 for the refrigerator when we purchased it last year. We then purchased the Samsung air fry stove and oven just a few months ago (2/21/22) for $841/89.

We would like to continue doing business with Home Depot (we have purchased many items there for our home), and hope that Home Depot will stand behind their product and honor the warranty since we had the Samsung refrigerator in our possession for less than a year when the issues developed. Thank you for your time and help in resolving this matter.

Sincerely,

Richard & Verna Friske

This is simply the worst run appliance protection plan I have ever encountered. It takes ages and multiple calls to obtain a claim approval and then your real troubles begin. I have spent time on 7 phone calls with them AFTER claim approval and have yet to see a repair engineer in my home. First them claim a company will arrive only to wait until the date and no one shows. Phone calls later is turns out the company didn't accept the repair and Asurion does not contact you. Then my claim is "escalated" and I am assured another company will show up on a second date. Needless to say the 2nd company says that Home Depot does not know their schedule and no appointment is confirmed. Each and every phone call may take 30 minutes of your time. My claim has been escalated twice with no results.

I have decided that this is not a worthwhile product and you are much better off buying your own parts or hiring a 3rd party to conduct the repair. Maddening!

Washer Model GTW540ASPWS-sTORE sku# [protected]

Please be advised that on July 20th, we purchased a washer on line. We looked at the videos first and based on the image showed on the web site, next to the description of the washer, and bought it. It was delivered on Sat. 23, 2022. After the delivery, when I opened the washer and noticed that the washer shown on your videos had the agitator, this one didnt. This was the first dissapointment, second, the model on the video had a dispenser for the rise, this one didnt which not only was the second dissapointment, but it is not convenient at all because you need to be on the lookout for the rinse cyclo in order to put the rinse.. Still, I washed (the other washer had broken down and I needed to wash immediately). The third huge dissapointment was the fact that when loaded, the washer senses all the clothes to the left size which makes de drum go crazy and takes the washer out of the place it is on. We went to the store to speak to a manager because we tried contacting C/S on the phone, they put us on hold, and noone ever answer. The department manager by the name of Camila, informed us that because we used the washer we could not return it. Let me clarify to you that we wanted to buy another, we did not want our money back. How can we find out if the washer is in proper working conditions if you dont turn it on? We are very dissatified with this purchase, will never buy another appliance from HD, and hope we can get to an agreement in order to be able to buy another washer in perfect condition and to our satisfaction. Thank you for your attention to our frustrations and hope we hear from you soon. Respectfully, Mariana and Jose Gonzalez. phone [protected] (cell)

we purchased the frigidaire gallery series set for our kitchen it was delivered on july 15th. refrigerator range dishwasher and microwave they basically brought in the appliances into our kitchen and left them there we paid for installation and we were told by the delivery people that they only do certain types of installation. we are now still waiting for home depot to send someone to install our dishwasher and microwave no one has contacted us to rectify this matter. i am extremely frustrated

I just purchased $1000 in carpeting from Lowes because Home Depot refused to sell it to me unless they installed it instead of my own contractor. What is the sense in that? The sales associate told me, "You can't buy this unless we install it" but "there are rolls in the back of the store that are good enough for stairs, but we keep the better stock for ourselves.” What?!?

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars a year at Home Depot, but never again. It’s bad enough that none of your floor people can answer basic questions, or that I had two keys made and neither of them worked, but now you’re refusing to sell me the better carpet.

This was the final straw; I’m taking my business to Lowe’s from now on. Don’t even bother offering me a solution as you couldn’t pay me to suffer such inconvenience again.

I have been working on a major home remodel and buying most of the materials needed at Home Depot. I have a stack of receipts. I have been paying for the items with my Master Card and/or cash. To complicate matters, My MC chip reader stopped working and to expedite a replacement card, the old account number was cancelled by the bank (Barclays) and a new card with a new number was issued.

Today, July 22nd, I attempted to return unused items for store credit because of the difficulties with finding the respective receipts for misc items purchased during the last four months plus the fact that the purchases were paid for by my now cancelled, credit card, the transactions could obviously not be found as I no longer have the original card number and the replacement card has a new number. After scanning all items I was returning, the refund due was $ 110.46. However, after a few moments, the store clerk told me that the refund was denied and could not offer any explanation!

The transaction ID is: [protected]-196-THD. I would appreciate it if you could cast some light on this treatment.

Montreal, 21 july 2022

Hello, I am writing you today to tell you how disappointed I am with my recent experience with Home Depot. I am an owner of 3 apartment buildings in Montreal and I have been purchasing my construction material at Home-Depot Store #7146 for over 2 decades now.

On 09 April 2022, I have purchased a brand-new water heater tank Rheem for 816.62$, I have installed the water tank into one of my apartments the same day, everything was perfect until mid-June. From that date we have stated to experience issues as it was on and off for no apparent reason. I have contacted the Rheem customer support to get their assistance prior to contact Home Depot. Rheem customer service ask me to contact an electrician, which I did but it worked well for 2 months, why would I need an electrician now?

The electrician CM Electrique, that was working in one of my other apartments was nice enough to have a look and confirm that my electric system was perfect, and all the wires were well connected. For no apparent reason, the Rheem water tank, start to work again the following day.

On July 15th 2022, the water tank stopped working for good. I contact the Rheem customer support one more time, and this time they are asking me to call a plumber and pay for it? That was enough for me, there’s no way I will pay one more person to look at this brand-new water tank. I have returned the broken water tank to the Home Depot Store #7146, and the store director (Sebastien) refused any arrangements or refund.

As of today 21july, the water tank is still at the store, I have purchased a new one at Reno Depot and I will keep going there until my issue is fixed and refund.

I am not the type of person who will ask to get reimbursed for no reasons, but I truly believe that I have been incorrectly treated by Home Depot this time.

Regards

I bought a washing machine about a month ago. Sales person was ok. She didn't explain much about the washer but I bought it anyway. Next, I waited for the delivery, it came on time but.. the washer was faulty. It wouldn't spin or drain water. I had it replaced. They picked it up and replaced it. Replacement washer would not spin or drain water either and it would make a loud sound. I called to get it return and get my money back. They never came to pick it up the day scheduled they said they will. They never called me to cancelled. I lost a work day waiting for them. I called back and had to re-scheduled and ..guess what? They never showed up, neither called me to cancel the pick up. I called back again and they game attitude, were very unhelpful. Nobody cared. It is a nightmare. I called this morning to check on it and guess what? They re scheduled my pick up for tomorrow but they never told me they did that. I am having the worse experience with their delivery company here in Allentown, Pa. It's almost a month and i am still dealing with this issue. I tried calling their 1800 number and nobody cares. I lost 3 days of work waiting for this pick up and again I need to re arrange who is going to be home if.. they come to pick up the washer tomorrow. They sent texts to verify the pick up but the don't show up. Very very frustrating.

I have worked for Home Depot for over 10 months. I am 70 years old and have worked hard every day.

I was scheduled off july 19-21. I had plans ! I got off work last night and my schedule was changed and I Now have to work july 20 and 21.

I don't think it is right! This has happened before. I know it is all about taking care of the store needs but employees should have rights also.

I feel my rights have been violated.

Most disappointing to learn Ken Langone is financially supporting right wing political causes, even the Democratic obstructionist Joe Manchin.

As a family that believes in voting with our purse, we will no longer be a Home Depot customer.

It is also noteworthy how difficult you make it for customers to communicate.

I broke my hip in june and had surgery on the 24th. I have been slowly recovering at home. About a week ago my refrigerator died. I thought ordering from home depot might get one here faster, I was wrong. I called the different numbers and was trying to find out if I could get my old frige removed, as I cannot move it myself and everyone I called talked over me and one guy said two days out was great, not when you can't run out and buy more food. So they bring the new one in and dump it in my living room and run like hell out the door. I had to rip the cardboard off the thing and move it over to a plug in the kitchen so I could save at least some of the food I had. I thought everyone automatically took out the old one and put the new one in place. If I had a chance to say anything I sure would have paid for someone to do it, now here I am stuck with my hip healing, I cannot drive and food is rotting in my kitchen. Home depot used to be a good place to buy things, not so much anymore. I will be going elsewhere with my business from now on.

To Whom it may Concern I am a large painting contractor in upstate NY i use the Monticello NY store most frequently on July 14 /2022 am hours I was treated the most disrespectfully ever by the employee at the time, ignored me on line ,help others then did not listen to simple mixing request ,screwed up my order and proceeded to ignore me and helped other customers again, could be racial ,won't go there , left the store ,I spend over 20000 dollars a year at home depot ,called manager and is always busy ,not alliable ,will not go in the store again ,paint dept was good this and year it is dysfunctional along with other screw ups please speak to store manager , you may need a new one ,Paul Buckel P Buckel painting contractors Roscoe NY

I have made two online purchases in the past month to the tune of about $1000. The first was on June 11 for almost $800 (includes express delivery and taxes). This order, (#WB15509520) was acknowledged on June 12 and shipped for delivery on June 15. Considering that this was placed over a weekend I was very pleased.

Now to the second order #WB17669073. Entirely a different story. I placed this order on July 6 for almost $300. I then checked my account on July 8 to see the progress. Account said that it was in process. I continued to check every day and the progress had not changed. Considering inventory situations in the US I thought it might be and "out of stock". I checked my local inventories as I had done before placing the order and saw the there was plenty of inventory. So, on July 11 I called your Corporate number. The lady that I spoke to took all my information. She checked and found that the order and not been placed to be picked and shipped. She made some contacts and was able to have it delivered the next day. I asked what about the "Express Delivery" fee and would it be refunded as I had to call just to get the order moving. She told me to call back after my delivery. I did this and called on the 12th. The service representative listened to me and put me in contact with a manager from the shipping store (I believe it was Anderson). I did not catch the ladies name and should have asked for a clearer pronunciation. She told me that Express does not mean Express. She also told me that I had not told them when to ship. I informed her that that option did not exist on the order. She then said it was not her store's fault that it had not been picked or shipped earlier but the Corporate office's fault. She then said she would not refund the fee as she had to pay the driver. She really just wanted to argue.

My guess is that Express does not mean express. That placing an order does not mean you will get it. That my money is nice to use but I do not deserve the product in a timely manner. I have spent over 50 years in the retail industry and have never seen a total disregard for the customer that this manager showed to me.

I just had a recent LG appliance delivery. The delivery men did not hook up my gas stove correctly! The delivery was late morning on Weds 7/13. Upon leaving, my husband asked them if the stove was connected properly as we want no issues and they replied, "oh yes, all set up fine". The next morning my gas detector alarm was going off. I therefore called my Nicor gas company to come out and inspect. And what do you know, gas was detected behind my stove. Per Nicor the gas stove was not hooked up correctly! This is so unacceptable! Do you realize my house could of blew up! People/ pets could of died. Why would you send these inexperienced people out to do these jobs? And they should be required to test the area for a gas leak before they leave!

I am so disappointed in Home Depot. Thanks for the $215 credit, what a joke! Should of been alot more!

I really hope you look into this and this done not happen to anyone else.

I called Home Depot located on Century Blvd. in Inglewood, CA. I called to ask about an item/an appliance. A gentleman answered at 12:18 pm, I asked him if he can help me locate an item, so that I may place an order on line, he then insisted that he would transfer me to order the item. I wanted him to see if the item was available first, he then with a mocking voice said, "I will transfer you to appliances", I repeated that, I wanted to see if the item was available, he then rudely and mocking me continued with a weird voice, " I w i l l t r a n s f e r y o u s o t h e y c a n h e l p y o u". This is unacceptable, this is customer service and the gentleman should have been a little more patience.

I had just called the Home Depot in Whittier and the gentleman there assisted me and looked up the item.

I don't understand why this was difficult for this person. I am currently on hold to speak to someone or a supervisor, but no answer not sure if there is caller ID, but this is ridiculous it's 12:42pm. I started the call at 12:18. A young lady answer the phone, and stated "home depot, please hold"
