After 9 days at the destination terminal, my item finally arrived. For every bit of horror in dealing with the terminal that I wrote about, the actual delivers did a great job listening to what I was advising them (it's a long reverse but the best way for a 24'+ truck to approach), and leaving the package where I needed . There was a punch through on top of the package, but a quick inspection revealed no damage. Utimately I would have given the delivery a 4.5 star only because had I not been watching the driver would have accidentally hit the brick wall with the package while lowering the ramp. The absolutely unacceptable behavior of the terminal and failure to even call to schedule the delivery (I had to call them again after several days after it was unloaded) should remain a business that is better to avoid. Given Estes response that they are overwhelmed, my recommendation is to not accept contracts for which they are not capable of honoring within the given timeframes until they can hire more people, establish faster processes for processing paperwork (once the truck is there, and you confirm that the item is deliverable get deliveries or pickups scheduled immediately even if you know the delivery date is going to have to be several days away), and finally get employees customer service training!!! Customers are NOT there to piss anyone off, so try to work with them instead of against them. read more

I had to take off work and run home before anyone help them self to 2k worth of cub cadet assesories. Absolutely Careless. !!!!!!!!!! read more

It's ashamed I can't do this review with no stars because Estes doesn't deserve any after the atrocious service I endured trying to get my package delivered for almost a month. They still owe me a refund of REMOVEDfor a double payment they made me pay while they held my package and threatened to charge me storage when they were the ones holding my package hostage. I was on the phone dozens of times and corresponded via email 55 times and now they tell me it will take 6 weeks before they return my money. Update: They said they sent me a check 12 days ago. Still nothing! read more

Terrible company! we had a delivery scheduled for a Friday, which I took the day off to receive, and they called us that same day and said they had to move us to the next morning, which was Saturday. I wasted a day unpaid, and then the next day they never showed up. We have not received our shipment. read more

I had a $2600 riding lawn mower delivered and it was fine. Driver and shipping dispatcher was friendly. The driver called when he was on his way, which was nice. I'd give 5 stars but they seem disorganized. They ask that you be home to sign for it and give you a 4 hour block of time for an ETA. The day it was expected was a no call-no show. I called them and got their yes man, who was friendly, but just yes and agreed with me to death, then told me it wasn't going to happen today and why and apologized. I got another 4 hour block of time the next day but it was a no show. (I was glad I was off that week). I got a call when they were 2 hours late giving me a time for the following morning saying there was a mix-up. It was on time the following day. The mower is here and undamaged, so I'm happy. Maybe they ran into something unexpected that caused delays. If you get an appointment, I wouldn't take it as gospel. read more

UNBELIEVABLE! I've ordered lots of gardening products from HomeDepot in the past and have never had to be home for them to deliver it. A day or two after I ordered some stone online, I received an email from Estes Express. I get lots of junk mail, so I really wasn't going to read it. It said that I needed to confirm my order/delivery or would incur extra charges for storing the rock while they waited. The email said to click on a link to confirm the delivery date. I did, and it asked me for my order. Well, I'm on a tractor in Swainsboro Georgia and didn't have the order number so I called personally. Latoya answered the phone, and asked for my order number. I gave her my name instead because I didn't have the order #. I said, "Well, don't you have it?" and her answer was "This is a paperless office and we don't have it just lying around". So, I said "Well, can you find it?" She put me on hold for a very long time. I think she took a smoke break or something. So, she came back with the # and with attitude. She asked me if I didn't get the order number with her email and I said I may have but if she had the #, I wouldn't have to sift through my emails to find it. Then I asked "Can I just confirm it now in person?" and that's when she wanted to put me on hold again. She either hung up on me/ or put me on hold. To be fair, I didn't wait around long enough to find out. So here's the fun part. I get a tracking order and in the early AM the next day. It said that it would arrive between 9AM and 5PM. They arrived at 4:40PM and I wasn't there to sign off so they didn't deliver it. They just drove away and probably charged me an extra storage fee for keeping it overnight. So I called HomeDepot to see if I could get it another way, and they just referred me back to Latoya. I didn't recognize her voice when I called to reschedule and king of uttered, "Thank God I don't have to deal with Latoya". UH oh.... It was Latoya and she was angry. So we had a few harsh words. I think she was trying to bait me into calling her names. She tried really hard. I didn't remain calm, and I'm not sure who hung up on whom, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. I made it clear that I didn't want to sign off on the delivery because, oh my lord, I might have to run to the grocery store or something. TO BE CONTINUED.....unfortunately read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING SELF CENTERED COMPANY!! Truck driver damaged my C7 corvette delivering a motor to my house even after multiple times of informing him that he was getting to close! As I was addressing the damage, the driver took off without me signing any paper work! Took them 2 months to get back with me and come to find out, the driver forged the signature! After I said I have audio recording of the situation and that he forged a signature because little did they know the signature that he forged does not live at my house nor the same state! I never got a reply back like they were scared to go further because they know they messed up!! STAY CLEAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! THEIR WHOLE COMPANY IS CORUPTED. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU NOR YOUR PACKAGE!! read more

Worst delivery company I have ever had the unfortunate displeasure of having to deal with!!! God help you if you order ANYTHING if you live on the second floor! These clowns have had a grill I ordered for nearly a week in my town, and they refuse to deliver it because I live on the second floor in my apartment! They have been texting me, saying they're going to deliver it for three days now! I used to do home delivery for years, I have had to haul 300 to 400 pound items up several floors! I have no pity for people who refuse to do what they're hired for! Put the purse down, pick up my grill, then grow a pair and do your job! I am going to post this comment on EVERY POSSIBLE review site I can find! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! read more

Never again. They lost one of three crates for a $25,000 green house. The crate is 14' long and not a tiny parcel. It was shipped on November 16th, 2022 and as of today January 5th they can't find it. One of the other wooden crates was damaged and punctured with what looks like a fork lift. How can you lose something that large? read more

If I could give a worse review I would. I ordered two butcherblock countertops on Oct 10th and the delivery per Home Depot was within 10 days. The countertops showed up 21 days after the order with only ONE countertop. The guy delivering spoke ZERO English so he was useless and I had no one to ask where the other was. They sent a survey which I blasted them badly and they called ASAP and said they would look for it but had no idea where it was. Last week they called and said they found it and it would be delivered today. Well NO DELIVERY! And to back track I went and ordered ANOTHER countertop on Oct 31st which was scheduled for delivery on Friday the 8th. Well, it is now Nov 13th and no one knows where that one is. The worst experience in my life and Home Depot should be ashamed that this company has such horrible reviews and they use them. read more

The delivery driver was one of the rudest persons I've ever encountered. After saying I wanted to inspect the package as instructed to do so on the label outside the package, which stated "high value item please inspect before accepting" the driver roughly said I don't have time for this turned around and walked off. Totally unacceptable Behavior. read more

I arrived home from work to find my new 10x14 white-ish area rug dropped in my front yard. The packaging was torn, exposing the rug, which allowed some sort of grease to stain it in multiple locations. It was obvious and, after watching my cameras, most likely came from the way it was dragged from the truck. A very expensive rug/ruined rug. Utterly atrocious. read more

Avoid this company. A third party shipped a glass door to me with them, and wow... what a stupid experience. Estes has earned their 1-star reputation. In short, they bailed on a scheduled delivery without contacting me. I called and emailed... nothing. When they called to reschedule, I said that I would have appreciated a call if they weren't going to show up for the appointment as I took off work and hired people to help me move the delivery. The response was 'Uhh huh....... so does tomorrow work for a delivery? OK bye!' For the rescheduled delivery, they gave me a delivery window of 11a - 5p, and then showed up an hour early at 10a. The delivery driver was like 'The item is long... I need your help getting it off of the truck.' How is that my responsibility? Amateur hour. Anyway, when the door of the truck opened, you KNOW my item was smashed. I refused delivery. I'm not sure how I'll get screwed out of a refund, but I'm sure they'll find a way. read more

Estes Express? Wow that's a joke! My mother ordered a couch from Home Depot on 07/10/23... it is 07/28/23 and Estes Express in Memphis STILL hasn't delivered it, every time we call they have some dumbass excuse, not to mention the 3 times they've attempted to deliver it they put it on a 50 foot truck that won't fit under a train trussel 3 TIMES!!! You would think they would have learned after the first attempt. read more

They have a high wait time on the phone because there are so many people waiting to complain about destroyed or missing packages. Considering this is the 3rd time we have tried to get the last part of our couch delivered, the first two were destroyed when they arrived. Now our package was picked up on September 7 and lost. I've tried to speak to someone with the company and no one will return a call. I would advise anyone considering using this company to search for a different carrier. on hold again for 35 minutes so far... read more

Where to start, just about everything that could go wrong went wrong. I called an arranged an appointment for a Tuesday. I got a call from the driver on Monday informing me he was 30 minutes away to which I responded with confusion and explained again that no one would be available until Tuesday. I got a call on Tuesday telling me he was pulling down the block. Turns out he was on the wrong block. To be fair there are two streets with the same name in our town. However, my street number is unique to my block so he must not have entered a street number or entered it wrong. He delivered the items inside my garage has I asked. Then he called back later to explain he delivered the wrong order. I'm not sure how this happens. He came back and picked up the wrong order and gave us our order. One of the crates was severely damaged and the contents were piled on top of the crate. There were a lot of missing pieces that I had to inventory and contact the seller for replacements. Heck I still found a piece this morning on the street where it was dropped. I'm at a loss as to why they would even try to deliver something in this condition rather than explain the situation with the seller and ask for a replacement. As customers receiving freight items we don't always have a choice about which carrier to select. I have filed a complaint with my seller advising them that their brand is too important to be linked with such a poor performing company. read more

I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN! I received a notice that my brand new 103lb toilet was being delivered today so I took the day off from work to be here because they were adamant about having someone here to sign for it. Made sense to me. When I called to confirm the delivery yesterday all of a sudden this day wasn't available. After some discussion the day was magically available again. I was in my house waiting to hear a doorbell or knock when I received a text that the delivery had been made. What??! They left a pallet with a 103ib toilet in my driveway! I don't know many people who could easily move that into the garage on their own...especially a senior citizen like myself. This driver lost a generous tip. When I called Estes to find out why the driver hadn't notified me when he was here, I was smugly told they only deliver curbside. I will be letting the company I ordered from know this too. In the meantime no one ever signed for this delivery! Estes, look at your reviews all over the internet. Awful. I guess as long as the company makes money the hell with your customers, right? read more

So Build.com uses Estes for deliveries. I have had my issues with Estes delivery with Home Depot. I thought that perhaps they would behave differently with Build.com How wrong!! Had a delivery scheduled for yesterday and was supposed to get a 30 minute call prior to arrival. Especially important because we were in the middle of a snow storm yesterday in the Metro Washington DC area. No call. The delivery gets dropped off on the curb. No protection. No notification. They suck! #build.com #homedepot It's time to fire these folks. read more

Estes Express Lines - This is how Estes delivered the clients $5,000.00 products. - Couriers & Delivery Services Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Estes asked me to email them with what happened, so I did. They responded, "I am sorry to hear about the problems with the shipment we delivered. It is certainly not the way we normally do business. We should have notified you prior to delivery of the packaging issues. Please let us know if there are any problems once you remove the remainder of the packaging. We offer our sincere apologies, and we hope that if, in the future, we ever get the chance to provide you with delivery services again, we will do a better job. Our goal is continual improvement, so thank you for letting us know." No offer to reimburse the cost of this crappy shipping job. Just an apology. Also, the second half of my shipment arrived last week and wasn't much better. There is a punched out place on one side, a jabbed place on the other side, and a mysterious stain on the end (it's not water - it's been six days and the stain remains unchanged). read more

Good for Estes for reaching out on my delivery mishap for an unattended delivery. Will anything actually be done, I can only hope so because Home Depot is using this company for another delivery for my damage product. I will keep posting what's happening.8/26/2021 read more

Package has been sitting in Warehouse for over 4 days and only 30 miles from my home. Was told about some 48 hour period that is allowable however it makes no sense. 4 days and counting with no contact from Estes to provide useful information or delivery date. Wouldn't ever purposefully use Estes for any delivery. I should have driven to Atlanta and got it myself would have been easier. It shouldn't take a reach out from customer service to get my delivery or an excuse that covid 19 has something to do with it. Shame on "Brianna" to think that writing to me would trick me into thinking that she could help. read more

Update: I was immediately contacted after posting this. Sent this my purchase order. I'm going to be hopeful and anticipate positive actions. More updates to come. Terrible service. Package has been sitting at their Portland warehouse for 5 days now. Well past the scheduled delivery date. No handoff made to the last mile carrier. Frustrating waiting for package with no updates whatsoever. I really hope Amazon uses another carrier! read more

If I could give a -10 I would. I did a online order with home depot and ESTES LEVEL2 LOGISTICS is the place that they unfortunately used to deliver my order. Let me just say I still absolutely Love Home Depot. Unfortunately ESTES LEVEL2 LOGISTICS is a -12. They delivered my item and my son was home. They didn't knock to let anyone know they had the delivery. So they left the delivery in front of the garage which is fine, but they left a broken old pallet with nails sticking out and when I called ESTES they said I had to dispose the pallet. I live in a house not a building and I have no way of disposing such a dangerous item. They said they will not come back to get the pallet and it was my problem not theirs. I will never use them for any delivery at all, they have rude people that don't care and yes I was highly upset and I used foal language, but with their reaction I am sure I am not the first person who's done that. As a business owner I will make note of this and never use them at work. Here is the pallet they had the nerve to leave behind read more

I ordered a package that was contracted to Estes for delivery. Without any notice, they dropped a package weight about 1000 lbs in my driveway behind my car. I can get no one from the company to acknowledge they need to assist with this issue. They continuously tell me I need to contact another office that either doesn't answer, or sends me back to the local office, who also refuses to assist in getting this package moved. I have no means to move this package on my own. The driver never came into contact with me to get any sort of signature to prove that I accepted the delivery or acknowledge that I was at home. It was also delivered on a different day than they said it would be delivered. I have no access to my vehicle while this is in the way. read more

Estes gets a zero. I'm not sure why Home Depot contracts with them, every delivery has been a nightmare. They are a complete joke. I had an appointment yesterday for 4pm-6pm. No one arrived. I called dispatch who said I can see the truck and the driver just left Petaluma, so I waited until 9pm. No one arrived. I called again this morning. My calls all self-disconnected. I called Home Depot who said they talked to Estes and it would be here today between 10am-2pm. It's still not here. I called and got a person after 30 minutes on hold and told her the above facts. She said there was no way I could have had a two hour window appointment. I told her I had a screen shot. She hung up on me. I have never dealt with such a horrible company. If someone has the contact information for the owner, please let me know. read more

Horrible! My Greenhouse left Canada on November 16th for Minnesota. It is now 4 weeks later and I only received 2 of the three crates. One is lost. I also paid for Home Delivery extra services. They could not make the delivery and said I could come pick it up. Reluctantly, I did. One of the crates weighs close to 800# so you can see why I paid the extra fee. They not only could not deliver them, when I got to the warehouse, there was only one. I helped find one more and it was loaded onto my trailer. One of the two wooden crates I picked up was punctured and I won't know if the damage is serious until I get the third one to assemble the $27,000 greenhouse. It's now almost a month since it was shipped, I have called, emailed....they say they are looking into it. The third crate is still MIA! Totally unacceptable. I feel sorry for the Greenhouse Company which has a wonderful reputation. read more

Another negative experience from another Home depot order. This one was to deliver posts for a fence, along with the accessory caps that go on top of the posts. When the posts (heavy portion of the freight) was delivered, the caps were not. They call this a short delivery. I've called many times and i keep hearing they found the caps, that they will deliver it soon, but they can't say when they can deliver it. A few times, they told me it was loaded and would be delivered that day, which i confirmed in the system, but was not true. Again, miscommunication between the system, dispatchers, and loaders (see my review below for similar issues on the delivery of the panels). It has been weeks and I still dont have the caps. I talk with the corporate office, the Baltimore station, and no one has been able to close this issue and send me the caps. I had to proceed and install my fence without knowing how deep the caps go on the fence posts, and hence guess how long I should cut the posts to size. I suggest management seriously looks into communication issues with the loaders and whats is in fact loaded. And also when errors do occur to prioritize correcting short deliveries, and get the complete load delivered asap. For reference, the initial PRO number is 2251238610. Looks like the caps now have another PRO number 0294485097. read more

Residential Service Tracking number said estimated delivery Nov 5th - I called them to see how that was going, and they told me that they had the box, but someone needed to call me to confirm that I'd be home to accept the delivery. And that they didn't do same day delivery, so I should get my package on Nov 6th. Nov 6th - noon, I call them... Sorry, you're still going to have to get a call from us for delivery confirmation, but we don't delivery same day, so the next business day is Nov 9th. Only God knows if I will receive a call today (Nov 6) for a Nov 9 delivery. Such complicated people to deal with, and they didn't keep their word on calling me same day. What a shame. read more

I scheduled with Estes Express to pick up a large wooden crate and a small carton for a particular day. They said it would be in the afternoon. A truck never came. I called them in late afternoon and they said their truck that was assigned to pick up my shipment was already full, so the best they could do was reschedule for the next day. The also said that pickups are not guaranteed. I certainly didn't know that, or I would have chosen a different carrier. Next time, that's what I'm going to do. I feel that since they know the sizes of shipments in advance, it is up to them to send a truck big enough for all shipment scheduled for a given day. DON'T USE ESTES. read more

I purchased a $1300 chipper From DR power and was supposed to be delivered to me. I received a tracking number from DR Power for their carrier Estes. Dr Power informed me I would need to be home to accept and sign for delivery after I inquired about delivery time. Dr Power told me via email that it should arrive at 5 PM but I would be contacted by Estes I was never contacted and at 5:15 I looked at the Estes tracking site and it indicated the freight was delivered at 2:38 PM. It was not. I immediately called the Estes and they told me it was delivered. I informed them it was as I am home all day waiting for it. I asked about signing and they told me it wasn't required even though DR Power said it was. Estes informed me they subcontracted the delivery to a company called Fallon Moving and Storage in CT and I should call them. I did, spoke to someone there who said they would get back to me. They never did. I called back Estes and they said the driver insists that he delivered to the right house. They sent me a picture of the box which showed a beat up box with no shipping label and a glimpse of the corner of the house and driveway where they delivered. It clearly wasn't mine. I sent them pictures of my house but it made no difference. I asked them to send the driver to my house so he could tell he hadn't been here. They refused. I also have camera in my driveway with no indication of the delivery. Estes completely refuses to help. Terrible company. read more
