  • Can't Find Help at Fairfield Township, OH Home Depot


     
    On MANY MANY MANY occasions I have gone to the Home Depot for various home improvement projects. You used to be able to find service from knowledgeable employees, but not anymore. You can hardly find an employee to help you as they have a single employee helping customers in three or more other departments. Since the new management team entered this store, this store has gone downhill. I believe the manager is "Kevin". The older employees who used to work there have been "pushed out" for cheaper and unexperienced employees. Right across the street is Manards and still... More...

  • PayPal order and Your Online System


     
    Please update your transaction for the air conditioner I purchased online with Paypal. At an unreasonable time in California on Sunday morning before 9am a Home Depot gal named Kirby (ID 55340) from Lousianna called. She woke me up and then provided terrible customer service and said her boss Craig told her that is what to do. She was telling me to cancel the order and order again. Told her it would most likely be resolved by Tuesday and to call me back then. I had to insist she do so. Please have someone else from your company call me back and tell me this is resolved.

My interview was on March 30 2012 at 8:30 in the morning...I went in to the interview very excited and had no problems answering the questions that were asked of me...After everything was done Kris the manager of the store told me I was hired and he told me it was for seasonal for the garden center.

  • Wont post a negative review


     
    I wrote an honest two star review of their top line garage door. They have twice refused to post it saying "Some type of content that did not conform to our guidelines" but it did as far as I can tell. Here is what I said: I installed two of these about 6 weeks ago. They are very thin steel and scratch/dent easily. Be warned that many of the in stock boxes have damaged panels. Either from mishandling (not packed very well) or from people damaging them during install and returning them. HD customer service seemed clueless on warranty issues. More...

  • Excellent Sales Staff!!!!


     
    I bought a hot water heater over the weekend, and I can't tell you how helpful the sales staff were. I wish that the installation/delivery process were easier and not as expensive (lots of hidden costs and inflated prices), but the floor staff can not be beat. I doubt I would purchase an appliance there again just because of the cost of delivery and install, but I will always use HD as my neighborhood hardware store. More...

  • Pro desk is a sham


     
    I went to Home Depot with my first major rehab project. I wanted to get a discount plus have some financing (at least 6 months so I could make draws on the loan). Two guys told me that would not be a problem but I have to get open a Home Depot card for the financing, which I didn't really want. The guy was helpful in helping me get product I will give him that, but when the bid from the bid room came back he said he could get 10% off everything except the custom sized windows which were already discounted 15%. I was fine with that. I understand you can't double dip on... More...

  • Failure to uphold service plan


     
    I purchased a 3 year extended service plan for the wall to wall carpet that was installed. This was a GREAT plan ... in concept ... it allowed for 1 free carpet cleaning a year for 3 years. If I had kept my receipt (or been told it was necessary) it MIGHT have worked. I did not keep the receipt (let's get real ... keeping a receipt for 3 years just isn't going to happen.) I paid for the service, but got NOTHING except a TREMENDOUS headache!! Transfer upon transfer until I was in tears. It is just cheaper to pay to have it done than to fight this battle. Lesson to learn?... More...

  • Flooring Issue


     
    In Feb. 2011 we bought 6 cases of trafficmaster carpet tile through the Home Depot's online store and installed them in our dining room, with the thought that if one got stained, we'd be able to swap it out. It looked good initially, but started to show wear really fast, and then the corners of the tiles started coming up when vacuuming. Also, whenever we had a spill, that section of tile would no longer stay stuck down. We had extra tiles, so we swapped out about 12 tiles, but after a bit of time, even these these tiles started coming up. Here's a link to what the... More...

  • Don't rely on HD product reviews - they don't accept critical reviews


     
    I bought a Danco plumbing product at HD (a HD exclusive brand) and spent 3 hours and 3 phone calls to the manufacturer's tech service people trying to install it before giving up. I found another product (Moen - a national brand) for about the same price and had it installed in 6 minutes using it's simple instructions. I wrote a product review critical of the HD brand and critical of HD for carrying only this brand. It was rejected. I wrote another review, carefully constructed to avoid another rejection, but still calling a spade a spade. It was rejected again. I... More...

  • Applicance delivery


     
    Never order you appliances from Home Depot. They out source the delivery to another company who puts zero effort into the installation. Despite the fact that I told the salesman the exact model and measurments of my fridge their service refused to haul it away or install the new fridge as per our agreement. When I contacted the store manager i was told it is something I need to deal with on my own now. I incurred $700 of costs for the services that home depot agreed upon but didn't perform. Buyer beware! More...

    I dropped a check that I had endorsed already, in the millwood department at Home Depot in Kenner LA. Please give a big commendation to Maurice Jones the employee who found the check and took time to track me down. It was made out to "cash" and it was endorsed - anyone could have legally cashed it. But Maurice was honest and helpful. I hope that you are glad to have him as your employee. More...

    We recently purchased cabinets from Home Depot. When we received them, we were in shock in how bad they looked & how poorly the workmanship was. There were four of us adults who had looked at the sample in the showroom, but none of us were prepared for what we received. I cried..

    This review has been resolved or replied to by this company. I've been reading others experiences with the return policy at Home Depot and decided to share my own disbelief. Late October 2011 I purchase two LG300 Vacuum Cleaners, one for myself and another for a family member using up store credit and gift cards. I did not know at the time of purchase that the vacuum is a discontinued item but it was on sale for $194ish plus tax (I'd have to pull my receipt to see the exact amount) so I bought them. A week later I went to visit my daughter in northern California taking her birthday gift, the vacuum, with me. While I was there I found... More...

  • Rude customer service


     
    I am in the process of dealing with this issue, but I have a feeling it is going to go badly. We had a salesman come to our home to help us order a window. He sat in our living room, looked at what we currently had (wood interior Anderson) and then turned around and ordered us a vinyl interior window. There is no indication on the paperwork that I was given that I would not be getting the wood interior window. When I called him to ask him how this happened, he lied then just got incredibly rude. He basically gave me the "oh well" attitude. So, we have been talking to different... More...

    First Issue. I bought a Honda Generator in 1999. Customer service said they would contact me when the generator arrived in the store. I stopped at the store in early 2000 asking about the generator. They said there was no record of it, so I was out the money. Second issue. I bought a patio set (table, chairs, umbrella). I had customer service assist in the sale hoping they would get it right. I stopped the following Saturday for pickup and they had no record of it. I had my receipt, but they had to compare the number of items in stock with the inventory counts. After a two hour wait and... More...

    This review has been resolved or replied to by this company. I purchased a Maytag stove through Home Depot.com and made the mistake of accepting delivery of a defective unit. Temco, the delivery agent, told me it was only missing a rubber foot and that they could bring it to me the next day. They didn't bring it for a week, and when they did they discovered that the frame was bent and the original foot was there, just unserviceable. At that point I was outside the 48 hour return policy. Temco then put it on me to resolve the issue. I've been back and forth with Maytag, with HomeDepot.com, with Maytag again, but no one is giving me a... More...

    Home Depot customers should be aware that Home Depot is censoring negative reviews of products purchased from them, and therefore customer ratings published on their website may not be true. I recently posted a 3-star review of a $2500 LG refrigerator due to a failure within the first week of use and LG Cust.Svc's inability to fix the problem within two weeks of reporting.

    I purchased a Homelite generator hgca3000 after hurricane Irene for stand by power. The generator was ok but had a problem with the digital readout ( it was unreadable ). This was a nice feature and the generator had very good reviews. I wrote a review criticizing the generator and the way Home Depot handled the problem.

Never use Homedepot... their service sucks and they are expensive by the way.
I live in New York and they sent me a company called Preferred Contractors from New Jersey run by a guy call Frank Grieco... nice guy but my kitchen isn't finished even I paid it 10 months ago. I had to not let them work anymore and have a couple of bosses from Homedepot to come and see the terrible work they've done. still 40 days after that I'm still waiting for answer and calls... and basically been treated properly as a good paying costumer.
I will never use them again and never recommend them for anything at all. This people are hopeless.

Flemish 5 says Sept. 19, 2011 at appox. 2:30pm

I was in San Marcos, CA. and it was hot and the first place I saw with shade was in back of the Home Depot store. As I drove into the back I did not notice any signs saying no parking or stay out of this area. I did notice signs on the doors that said stay clear swinging doors. I did notice ther was yellow post on each side of every door opening. I was clearly away from any door opening. I was resting for about 10 minutes and a lady came up to me and said that the security will be making its rounds and they would not be happy with me being here. I did not know who this lady was and she was not in any home depot attire or apron, so I just told my self if the security does come I will move. In about 10 more minutes this guy comes up to my window and yells at me, and tells me I had 30 seconds to move my car or he was going to call the police. I told him call the police, I said I did not see any signs that say no parking or do not enter this area. Then he yelled at me again and said it was up on a pole near a bunch of pallets and outside displays. I am sorry but if you want someone to see the signs, make them more visable or put them on the walls of the building. I told him I did not need to see the sign. Then for the third time he yelled at me again and said I was told three times to move. This guy was a donkies behind. I told him that he was just that and the lady that had told me in the first place never introduce who she was and she did not have any home depot attire on. And then I told him that he was only the second person who ordered me to move. Then he said lets start over. I said that would be a good idea. He said that I was not suppose to be back here and that I needed to move. I said ok. I watch as he went in back of my car and started writing something down, probably my lisense plate number. All this guy or the lady needed to do is be a little more pleasant. I felt like I was treated like a bum or a teenager in trouble, I am 52 years old. This guy is lucky I was not a lose cannon or some mental case or he may have gotten his donkies behind kicked, hard. I just want to write this and hope someone takes head to what happened. To many times people jump to conclusions and it will work against them. I was in the wrong for being there, although it did not deserve the turn of events that took place. I do not wish to ever shop at home depot again and I will tell this story to many people I know. What is the formula for loosing customers, 2 percent die, 10 percent find a better price, 86 percent are lost because they had a bad experience. We are in troubled times and it does not seem like it will get economically better any time soon. There are plenty of other stores like home depot to shop at. Maybe this guy had a chronic pain, I do not know what it was, but maybe as big as home depot is they need to have lessons on how to treat this type of situation. And why did home depot pull all there HR employees out of the stores?

I ordered a garage opener from HD and the guy they sent out was fantastic. I've had one bad experience in the past so it's only fair to give them a positive review when it's deserved.

I paid for HD to measure for a new exterior door. Their staff said I could keep the measurements if I decided not to use their installation services.

The installer showed up early (when I wasn't home) to measure the door, but he measured for a security door instead. I went back to HD for my money back because they didn't measure for the proper door. HD gave me the run-around and didn't refund my money until the next day. HD also said that they DON'T provide you with the measurements. I find it ridiculous that I paid someone to measure a door (even if it was the wrong one) and I don't get the measurements.

I found a contractor that will install the door for 100 less than HD. Never again will I use their services.

I went to the Home Depot in Red Bluff CA to buy a small metal storage unit. Small though it was it was very heavy. I asked for help 3 times to load it on a dolly from a shelf but no one came. I wheeled it up to the front and payed for it. I asked for help to load it into my truck. Three more times I was told someone was on the way. No one came. I finally told the ladies at the checkout counter that I would wait by my truck. It was parked right in front of the store. After another 30 minutes and two more assurances that someone was on the way I had to load it on the truck myself. I spend two days layed up with a sore back because Home Depot would not help me.

I would like to start out with the fact that I am talking about a corporate account, well three of them actually. We have three corporate accounts, and we spend close to $40,000.00 per year per account. We recently chose to close all three due to horrible customer service. We bought a refrigerator with icemaker. It was delivered, but no one would hook up the icemaker. Not a problem we did. Did I mention we have hooked up icemakers several times? Would not produce any ice, we tested the line, not a problem with water flow. We called our store in Gainesville TX who referred us to GE. They sent a repairman who could not fix the problem and they replaced the refrigerator within a few days. Brought us same model and again icemaker would not produce ice. We assume it is a defect with that particular model so we decide to upgrade. I was treated very poorly by Top Sales Rep. He told me that it was due to the water pressure in the lines and I needed to test the lines. At this point we have done this several times. We were also told that the refrigerator needed to be at least 12 inches from the wall in the back. I was told that I would have to pay in full for the new refrigerator before they ordered it and would have to wait until it came in to get the credit on the defective refrigerator. I had already been preapproved by a manager to simply come pick out the replacement model. This is after I left a minimum of 5 messages with the Top Sales Rep to give the salesman who sold us the first one and who was helpful in getting it exchanged. Needless to say I never heard from the original sales rep. My boss called and was told she would receive call back within minutes. They did not call us back so 30 minutes later she called them to cancel the order, we would buy one from a mom and pop store in town. Next morning we get a call from Home Depot demanding to know when they could pick up the refrigerator, at this point we had not been credited. The rep was rude to my boss and demanded that she come in to get the credit. My boss explained that was not a good idea due to the fact that this had made her pretty angry and she did not want to take it out on them. Needless to say, we talked to someone online and called corporate. We had 4 different managers call us and try to give us either the upgrade free or a free refrigerator. We did not want to get something for free. We wanted to be treated with respect and that is something that did not happen. We simply chose to do business with someone besides Home Depot and have since eliminated our accounts. The mom and pop store where we bought our replacement brought us out a similar model by Maytag and hooked up everything. We have already gotten more ice in one day than we did in a week with the two from Home Depot.

Everyone of you customers that come in home depot to belittle the employees or to even complain about the smallest things or to even act as if you knew how it is to be in our shoes. Some of you come in disrespecting us, and demanding good customer service after the fact. You go online complaining then costing people their jobs, cause you didn't get the respect that you demanded. I feel bad for all the employees who work this company, and put up with disrespectfull and ungrateful customers. I won't be surprise if one employee goes physco and starts shooting you customers cause all you wan to do is complain. So write down your complaints but don't be surprised if someone will go mad.

i purchased a vanity with a marble top at the home depot on hanley road in st louis, missouri-when i got it home and checked it, the top was cracked--i called the store on friday night at 8:00pm and talked to a manager whose name is renato--he was very pleasant and told me to bring it in to exchange--when i explained that i was a senior and that was difficult for me, he said that he would get an exchanger to our house--the next morning, sat, he himself came to take care of it--he is terrific, a real asset for home depot

I am renovating a house in Delaware but am at home in St. Petersburg Florida for the winter.
Betty Gold at the 22nd Ave store has been so helpful, she writes sku # and product discriptions for my DE.contractor. She always does it with a smile and say's now if that does not work come back and we will work out something else. She is knowledgable and an asset to your company.

Dover NJ Home Depot Needs People Skills Training in Customer Service:

Here is a letter I sent into home depot via the online method...

I would like to launch a complaint about the store in Dover, NJ. (Rockaway Area) A few weeks ago I had gone into the store to purchase custom closet doors for my bf. Because of how long we waited they knocked 50$ off of the price. The day before yesterday we found out by calling the store that the doors were discontinued. So last night we went to the store to get the money back for the doors. We were greeted by an aggressive woman who had no business working in customer service as she did not want to help customers. Finally a person above her made her help us. She was grumpy and failed to mention that if she was crediting my debit card back it could hold up the money being put back onto my card by 48 hours to two weeks. This morning when I called she was not happy to hear back from me. I had gone into my bank account and noticed the money had not been credited back to my bank account. While I had purchased the doors etc under my bf's name we ran it all through my credit card. When I started asking her questions about it she was short and rude. She stated she would be looking into it and not realizing she hadn't hung up the phone said "What the hell is this lady's problem" in a nasty tone. I called the store back and did not receive much extra help in resolving this issue. I tried to speak with a manager named Dan on the phone who while sympathetic was trying to put blame on me for not asking how long it would take for the money to come into my account. So now, my money is tied up, I can't get what I had started out to, and they didn't care how this was an inconvenience. We have been spending money there non stop lately as we are doing a lot of work on the house. Please help me learn what can be done to solve this. Its christmas time and I'm out money that I need because of your people. I'm also insulted and can't believe how people who are in customer service supposed to represent your company treat people.

This morning my wife and I visited your Wintson Churchill, Milton location looking for three things: hiding screen door for our patio doors, hardwood flooring, and project ideas for storing computer books. We entered the area displaying patio doors where a woman in Home Depot garb was on the phone. We waited looking at some merchandise she then finishedhercall and proceeded to ignore us. I then went overto her and explained our needs regarding a scrren door she then led us to the area concerned handed my wife a brochure and proceded to talk onlydirectly to my wife, who, at this point hadn't even asked her any questions. I feel that this woman maybe is taking her feminist roots to an extreme and I then left your store and went to where I was immediately addressed by a sales person I made mypurchases and left without incident. There gain of a customer your loss. Maybe you should teach your employees customer relations

bought a garage door with installation. instead of the fancy trim I asked for the door lock which was included in the price. no one knows anything about the lock. cannot get anyone to come back. this is a high crime area and there are many tools in this garage with no lock. I want the door removed so I can buy from a company that will provide what they wrote on the contract.

I think Home Depot does not have enough people working in the stores. I'm always looking for someone to come help me and takes me average of about 10 minutes until I find a guy that's not busy. Usually I have to hunt somebody down to help me. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Never shop in Akron or Canton, Ohio's Home Depots. I do not like Home Depot anymore because of their customer help inside the stores is louzy.
