Home Depot Reviews Summary

Home Depot's reputation is marked by a mix of positive and negative customer experiences. Many customers appreciate the wide selection of products and the knowledgeable staff, which contribute to a convenient shopping experience. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to installation issues, return policies, and delayed deliveries. Customers frequently report dissatisfaction with the handling of complaints and a perceived lack of support, leading to frustration and a sense of being undervalued. Overall, while the company offers a robust product range, its customer service approach appears inconsistent, impacting overall satisfaction.

10% veterans discount
November 6, 2015

I'd rather shop at the mom and pop shops but it's hard to because Home Depot is always lower prices and a 10% discount to boot. It's a love hate relationship

Tried HD website to find stock at local store. Two items indicated unavailable except in 25-packs. Found both items in single quantity at local store, however. Website is inaccurate.

By far the best home improvement store as far as selection and experienced personnel. They do not always have the best price so you need to shop around.

The forklift operator has a problem with helping you get stuff off the top shelves. We work him to hard, he has to get a fork lift, a spotter and get them out side to be loaded. HIS WORDS.
I guess I was suppose to get to the top shelf then top of the pallet and get 120 cap stones for my self. The way I look at it is, If he was doing his job, then the pallet would have already been on the bottom level and I wouldn't have needed his help or his sassy mouth at all. I went to Lowes across the street and got my cap stones. Funny Not 1 person there complained and even said thank you as they took my money.

Do yourself a favor and shred your Home Depot card! If they give you interest for 24months and you do not pay in that time, you get an insanely large balloon interest charge at one time! Bought a/c for $5,000+ received in ONE bill an interest charge of $4,000+ They prey upon consumers and will do nothing to help. SHRED YOUR CARD!

I love home depot and go there at least twice a week. They always ask if I need help, I am always greeted when I walk in, the check out is easy and items are usually available. The only issue I have with them are the independent sales people giving a deal on home improvement. I am always approached by them everytime I shop and I find it annoying since I am there so often.

Bought a mantel shelf for my fireplace, I received the package a week later and when I opened the huge and heavy box I came across to a cracked and scratched corner of the mantel shelf, no screws and no touch up paint as mentioned in the instructions. Called customer service and the only 2 options they gave me was to take back the mantel to a home Depot store for a refund ( not full amount paid) or she could do it online for me and it would take 5 or 6 weeks to get the money back. I asked if I had another option as this 2 didn't work for me. After 42 minutes on the phone all they offered was 15 dollars back from the a mount paid and a phone number to contact vendor to ask for touch up paint. When you buy something new and pay for it you expect to get what you asked for, not A scratched item. The least they could have done was to offer to exchange it for a good one. People you should care more about your customers.

I switched from Lowe's to Home Depot. About the ONLY issue I have is that sometimes it's very difficult to find someone to help you, and that's because the staffing is low... I suppose to save money?

Otherwise, great place to shop!

Home Repair
October 20, 2015

I turn houses around. Therefore I spend a lot of life looking for answers to problems. I have found Home Depot the most helpful with my hard to solve issues. They have stopped carrying a lot of better products in the store but some can still be ordered on line and picked up in the store.

Home Depot took over the home improvement business from local stores - forcing them out of business and literally buying their buildings to convert into "Home Depots". At first, they offered good selection and lower prices. But once the local stores were out of business, Home Depot slacked off.

Now, the selection of products is little different than what you can get at the other national chain - Lowes - and probably a little higher priced. And if they don't have it, there is nowhere else to go - they have driven all the competition away.

They have a good return policy, which is very important and well used - the lines at the return counter are just as long as new sales. But just like Lowes, they only stock the mass-produced items, and only support those products with parts and accessories. In most cases, you can get better products at lower prices by going to the right supply house - i. E., Plumbing Supply, Electrical Supply, Lumber yard, Building Supply. There is something to be said for the convenience of having all these things in one place, but you must dig through the lumber to find a straight piece, and make do with whatever fittings you can find to meet your electrical or plumbing needs.

The best section is the garden shop in my opinion, where you can get plants well suited to your area at decent prices compared to local nurseries. But if you want anything out of the ordinary, you'll be out of luck.

Return policy
October 18, 2015

After I spending several thousands of dollars, for remodeling my house, home depot refused to refund, or even give store credit for four items that were not used, still in original package, with original receipt, maybe less than two hundred dollars worth. Their reason was a consumer reporting agency called TRE makes the decision not to refund, exchange, or even store credit. Stay away from home depot, shop at lowe's better service and much better refund policy.

Okay
October 15, 2015

The prices are up there but the quality sure counts for it. I mainly dislike the people working here. The website works fine, but for any questions about DIY stuff they all basically tell you that you are an idiot and you HAVE to hire someone else to do it. Will never go into a physical store again for that~

Hate home Depot.com. So many mistakes and calls, Our store, opposite Lowes is way to busy and you need 2 weeks in Hawaii after a visit. Lowes is empty and people are very nice.

Most of my shopping experiences have been very good, with a few exceptions.

Other than a few small building projects, I use them primarily for my yard plants, trees, and garden.
