I went in to get the big items to renovate an apartment kitchen: cabinets, backsplash tile, and floor tile. And, include all the stuff necessary for the job. It was a 1700.00 Oder.
I paid extra for delivery, extra for carrying everything inside, extra for a specific four hour delivery, and an extra charge per item 'cause there were several items in the order.
Set up the first delivery for between 6am -10am. I went down to the apartment, was there by 5:30. At 8:30, I call to check the status. The AI man told me the order was there, waiting for me to pick it up!!!!
Went to Vickie's desk, the woman who created the final version of the order. She looked it up. My name was on the order, she referred to me as Mandy and Maddy and Millie. She couldn't fix it then, would fix it tomorrow and give me a call.
Tomorrow, I didn't get any call from Vickie. I went back to Home Depot. Waited over an hour to see her. Again, I was Maddie and Mandy and Millie. Again, she couldn't be bothered to look at my name on the order.
She assured me my order will be arriving tomorrow morning at my 6 - 10 window.
I went down early the next morning. I get a text around 8:45. My order will not be delivered today, please call to reschedule.
Again, I went down to Home Depot. They had the nerve to ask me the reason why the items weren't delivered. Again, the store assured me the items would be delivered the next day.
NO, AGAIN THEY WERE NOT!!!! Once again, I get a text telling me to reschedule.
Rich, whom I had worked with in flooring said he would see about getting the order out to me. I was at Discount Tires getting some new tires. Just before my car is being driven into the garage, I get a call from Rich to get down to the apartment. The order is waiting.
I get my car back, without having the new ones put on, and drive across town to the apartment.
YIPPEE!!!!! A truck is there. The cabinets are not on the order.
I call Rich. At least he calls me by my name. He says he will get back to me. I'm at Discount Tires, and they are nice enough to fit me in . I call Rich back. Delivery people are out to lunch. They will be back by 12. They will call you while they are on their way.
At 12:40, I get a call from Rueben asking me if I still want the cabinets delivered. I said, I have a dr. appointment and was expecting to be called soon after 12. I asked if the cabinets had been loaded on the truck. I knew they hadn't, if he's asking if I'm going to be picking them up. He said, "Yes, they're on the truck."
I go down to the apartment. Home Depot is about 5 miles away in a very straight shot from the apartment. The truck took over an hour.
NOW, I ASK YOU.........Would a man have to go chasing down there 5 (five) times to get an order. Would Vickie call a man an assortment of names? Would Vickie try to get rid of a man without solving the problem?
Would Rueben treat a man like he treated me?????
THAT IS ONE misogynist business. I have several apartment buildings that I do manage myself. I have done several tens of thousands dollars worth of business there.
NO MAN WOULD EVER HAVE TO CHASE AFTER A DELIVERY FIVE TIMES!
Never again, Home Depot. Apparently, you don't care about keeping my business. Today, I needed paint for the kitchen. I bought it at Lowe's!!!! read more
