I am writing to formally file a complaint against Home Depot regarding an unresolved refund issue related to my online purchase.On December 25, 2024, I ordered 5 units of the MILWAUKEESHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Alloy Steel S**** Driver Bit Set (74-Piece) from Home Depots website. The unit price was $19.88, with the total amount charged after tax being $108.48. Shortly after placing my order, I was notified that the order had been cancelled. However, I have yet to receive a refund for this cancelled order. The order number associated with this transaction is WG78727526.I first contacted Home Depot on January 26, 2025, when a customer ********************** representative informed me that a manager was unavailable and advised me to call back the following Monday. I then attempted to resolve the issue on February 3, 2025, via both online chat and text. During both interactions, the conversation was disconnected after my order details were reviewed. One representative even stated that I had not been charged; however, I later discovered that my gift card balance was reduced to zero, indicating that the payment had indeed been processed.Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, I have not received any confirmation or refund for my cancelled order. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and frustration, and I am disappointed with Home Depots lack of follow-up and resolution.I respectfully request the BBB's assistance in securing a prompt refund and ensuring that Home Depot addresses this issue appropriately. I have attached all relevant documentation, including order details and records of my communications, to support my complaint.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.Sincerely,Business response

Ordered an oven for a rental property. Was told the delivery drivers do not carry cell phones so I relied solely on the online tracking. Waited for hours at the unit to be delivered then at the last minute was told it would not be delivered. This is horrible business practice especially since I purchase from the company a lot due to owning apartments. There has to be a better way to communicate to customers about deliveries: people are spending a lot of money they should put customers convenience firstBusiness response

I ordered kitchen cabinets in May of 2024. Several units were delivered broken and had to be reordered. Rather than move my order to the front of the line, I had to wait another six weeks for replacement cabinets, which also arrived broken. This pattern repeated for several months. I finally had my ********* just rebuild two units and repair others so that I could have a kitchen sink. After all the hassle, Home ****** agreed to refund $4,000 on Jan. 10, 2025. Now I cannot get anyone at the store to return my calls about when I will receive this money. I have called numerous time and left many messages, all of which have been ignored. I finally spoke to the new manager today (Jan. 30), who knew nothing about this issue. He now tells me that approval had to go "higher up", but he has no idea how long this will take. I feel I have been more than patient with this company who took what should have been a one month project and turned it into an eight month ordeal. I just want the money they promised me three weeks ago.Business response

On August 11, 2024, I ordered four ****** Nest Learning Smart Wi-Fi Thermostats (Order #WM78415932) from Home Depot for $554.41. One box arrived open, but I initially ignored it.

On January 30, 2024, I contacted Home Depot customer **********************, who directed me to Google Nest Customer ********************** at **************; however, that number was not in service. Home Depot offered no further assistance. I request a refund of $125.04 plus tax or a replacement thermostat. It is Home Depot's fault that I received an unusable, outdated, and damaged product. Consequently, I will never use store delivery again. Despite further efforts, I managed to install all but one thermostat.Business response

I've ordered a Whirlpool refrigerator through Home Depot back in November. The first delivery resulted in the delivery person scratching the side of the refrigerator and being unable to attach the handles. I ended up with a loaner refrigerator that had no handles. The second replacement arrived with a large dent on the back. The third replacement also had a scratch and small dents on the back. The fourth replacement had stains inside the door, as if it had been used. I contacted Home depot after the last failed delivery and was told i will be contacted again within two days. The week has gone by and i called whirlpool directly and came to find out that the request for a new fridge was denied. Nobody contacted me. Just denied and im just waiting here for nothing.Business response

As a long-time customer, I expected better ********************** and support. Instead, I am left out of pocket with no resolution.Due to this experience, I will no longer be shopping at Home Depot. I urge you to reconsider your policies on stolen deliveries and provide a more customer-friendly resolution process in the future.

06/16/2023 I purchased flooring from the Home Depot in *********, ** on a 24-month no interest agreement. I added to this account through 07/08/2023 completing the flooring job. This was cleared with store personnel. The entire purchase was *******. This amount was also cleared since the circular said *******. I arranged with my bank to send automatic payments of $100.00 every month being mindful the last payment would require ***** in additional funds to complete the balance. Payments have been faithful and timely. In September of 2024 I was notified that I was in arears. I tried to work with the local Home Depot and was refused any information. I finally contacted ********, the actual financial backer. When I explained the situation I was told this was recorded as a 12-month no interest account. Upon more discussion it was admitted Home Depot is often at fault for not recording the correct terms of the account. I offered to pay the balance of the ******* minus my previous payments. I was given an address in ******** to send this proposal. I did follow through with a letter. I was returned on 01/27/25 as not deliverable. I am maintaining in good faith that I owe the original balance. It is the inefficiency of others that has added additional fees. I do not feel I am responsible for additional charges over the original purchase. I stand by my offer to pay all of remaining original balance.Business response

The lead of the fence installation crew told me he'd had a conversation with my neighbor & that he told the neighbor they put the fence on the property line, to be smart with the neighbor, not because the fence was actually on the line. This installer also asked me how much I paid for the fence, which I did not disclose, but he said if I'd paid over a certain amount that I had definitely overpaid & been ripped off. The installer also told me a story of another fence installation they'd done where a customer ran them off his property & accused them of not knowing what they were doing. A couple weeks later I noticed a property line marker at the rear of the property that has existed on the property for years, had been moved. Upon further inspection, the fence was indeed located on the property line in that area, because of the moved marker. I called the salesperson **** and let him know. He asked me if any neighbors were complaining about the fence being on the property line, and I told him no. He said that if no neighbors were saying anything about it, then neither should I. I told him that was not the right way to think about it. The *** that came out to look at the installation said that things had been done incorrectly. He asked me how much I was charged, when I told him he just shook his head. This made me feel even more uneasy about the price I was charged. The *** said that the lady I talked to was wrong about me having to pay to have the rear portion moved, that they would get it corrected at no charge. I originally agreed to this, but later I was more uneasy about the pricing & the whole ordeal. I told Home Depot I just wanted the fence removed because of all the trouble that had been caused by the ordeal. They told me I could only be refunded $2500 out of $15,100 that I have been charged. I don't disagree that I should have to pay something, but this is just too much for practices I feel were deceitful by the installation company and the salesperson.Business response

The order person enter the wrong skew for the washer I wanted and Home Depot sent the wrong washer. The have a 48 hour return window. The ************** were at our lake home and my wife did not see the washer was wrong until after the 48 hours. Home Depot would accept return only if I took the washer back to them and paid 25% restocking charge for their mistake. I have no way to take the washer back I am an elderly person with a small hybrid car. I also saw a red light on the washer when it was running and thought something was wrong; I called home Depot and they didn't have a clue. A plumber working on a plumbing problem at my house said the red light was normal licking the lid on rinse. besides being callus and uncaring, Home Depot is also incompetent and stupid.All I wanted was for Home Dpoet to provide me the correct washer I ordered over the phone.Business response

Price discrepancy or false advertisement. When you search up a particular robot vacuum on ******, search result for Home Depot shows a price of $149.00. However, as soon as you click on the direct link to take you to the direct website, the price changes by more than $100. It's changes to $274.99 . It does not matter if you choose shipping, pick up, change locations for pickup or delivery, the price is more on the website/app then it is on the ****** search.
