HDC-12 right there on the site!!

ZERO STARS! Home Depot has some MAJOR hiring issues. WHY? I have NEVER been so poorly treated - EVER! On October 15, 2024, I stopped into the Bristol, CT Home Depot to purchase water wicks for my humidifier. The unit takes HDC-12 pleated paper wicks, which I have purchased at HD many, many times. This means that I am also familiar with where they are located in the store. (Matter of fact, I spend so much money at the HD, I know the layout better than most employees - but that's another review.) Yes, things move around in a retail store from time to time, but when I looked at where the wicks SHOULD be, the shelves were empty. Looking up however, I not only noticed an exact model of humidifier tucked WAAAY up on the top shelf, wrapped in shipping wrap, but with it, a bunch of HDC-12 filters. I approached a "sales associate" and was told he'd get me "Someone from that department". So I waited. And waited and waited. Half an hour, give or take. Seriously? So up to the "Customer Service" desk I go. I was taken over to Chris, who mans the ProDesk because "They had no one in THAT department to help me". Keep in mind here, that I came to this HD armed with the CORRECT part number and amount of wicks the store claimed to have, according to their webpage. I did my homework. (Go ahead, punch in HDC-12 humidifier wicks and see.) Chris immediately copped an attitude and "Informed" me that if they weren't on the shelf, they didn't have them. AND, he said that "If I didn't know what they looked like then he couldn't help me." EXCUSE ME? His own workstation had a picture!!!! I must have been bothering him - standing there looking marvelous as he was - and doing nothing. It's not like he was interrupted, he was simply being asked to help a customer - a customer who knew EXACTLY what he needed, what the part number was and where they are normally stocked IN ALL HOME DEPOT STORES! But keep reading cuz it gets better... So I asked him to please come with me so I could show him where they were and that a forklift or similar would be needed - as they had them, but were on the top-most shelf, which is why I went to customer service in the first place. Nope. Chris took me to AIR FILTERS and rude as hell, pointed to the shelf and asked: "Do you see them here?" Well, it took every ounce of self-control not to just scream as this a-hole punk. Like I was some moron. (If he knew what I did for a living he would shit) So I then insisted that he follow me to the area in the store where I know they should be so I could point out to him what I needed help with. He followed, but was NOT pleased. When I pointed to where they were, I again explained that I needed someone to get them down, he literally and as animated as a cartoon character, threw his hands up in the air and said: "I give up!" And walked off huffing to himself. I wish I thought to record this conversation because he would be famous this morning on You Tube. In any case, I went back to "Customer Service" and this time found Dawn. Now I hope you keep reading because THIS is going to make you crap your self: Dawn took my HDC-12 number, punched it into her workstation and pulled up the EXACT page that I did at my house that morning and the same page that Chris from ProDesk pulled up! And here's the best part; She informed me that the page not only had a picture and believed quantity - BUT IT HAD THE SHELF NUMBER AND LOCATION in the store. I know, right? Chris, Chris, Chris. At the Bristol CT Pro Desk Chris. (I want to be sure everyone knows who you are. Especially HD management) She pointed to them right in front of her! She didn't have to take one step away from her register - she did it in about two minutes!! That's right, HD had moved them to the front of the store because humidifiers sell this time of year when the humidity drops - but Chris, OH CHRIS! Fabulous Chris didn't have a clue. The unit on the way up top shelf? Inventory. (Yes, Chris - they were inventory.) And, by the way Chris, it's your job to get that stuff down if a customer wants to spend his money in your store. It's called RETAIL and it's you job! Cudos and much appreciation to Dawn. If anyone from HD reads this - give that woman a fat raise!! 20 plus years with you too. Better keep her. Chris at ProDesk Bristol, on the other hand. Well HD, if he treats your contractors the way he treated me, he's a liability to your bottom line and I'd fire him. God knows how many people he's pissed off and sent to Lowes. And folks, just take a look at the reviews over there to the right... Not all four and five stars, right? Even Three? Which means that Jeff Bezos is just going to keep getting richer because our retail managers in this country seem to have lost their minds with who they hire. This is unacceptable and I beg everyone who reads this review to start speaking out wherever you shop if you are treated poorly or don't get the level of customer serve that, at a bare minimum, is courteous and helpful. Shameful.

I've been in this HD dozens of times, yesterday was my most recent time. A buddy asked me to help him go and load 16 bags (50 lb bags, I might add) of a special concrete product into his car. When we found the right section of the store, we only saw 7 bags of what we wanted. Now this is where what happened next amazed me. We flagged down one of the workers, which in itself was a good sign, because sometimes trying to find someone in a store like this is like trying to find a parking spot in West Hartford. The guy was attentive and polite. He checked his tablet and said they had 100 more bags on site, and proceeded to walk down the aisles and searched all of the stacked products on the upper shelves. He found a pallet of the stuff about 50 feet away. He arranged for a forklift operator to grab the pallet and bring it to us, in fact the forklift drove right into the parking lot, right to my buddy's car and 2 HD guys off-loaded the 16 bags into the car. Without a doubt, this was the very best customer service I have ever seen in a HD store. Great job guys !!

The tool rental department saved my carpet this weekend!

Associates spend to much time socializing should be more helpful to customers and help . Would love to see more interaction with customers.

I purchased my house in 2016, this store would have saved me so much money, I had no idea what it was, or had any interest in it. When I would drive by, I thought it was a storage facility. I didn't think twice about putting it into Google, Yelp or going inside to see what it was. My friend pointed it out to me the other day, and said we have to go there. Ohhmyygoodness this is a MUST stop if you are moving into a new apartment or house. They have furniture galore. They have dining tables and chairs, desks, lamps and chandeliers, framed artwork and mirrors, and so much more. New inventory is constantly coming in. Everything is so much less expensive than any furniture store, even less expensive than Ikea, yet the quality is there. I got this very cute painting of a lighthouse in a beautiful white wood frame for $5. I also got a pouf for sitting for only $15. I have been looking for one of these for a while, they are super expensive, the one that matches my couch was $200. This one is black and white, pretty neutral, looks great and is such a bargain. If you need anything new for your home, please stop by here first. There is no way you'll walk out empty handed.

Thanks again! ---- Original Post---- As a homeowner, my husband and I have shopped in both Lowe's and Home Depot for over 20 years. We have spent an extraordinary amount of money in both of these stores. We rarely need to make returns, but we just had a recent instance of having to return 5 bags of polymeric sand because we decided to have the job done by a contractor. I saved the receipt and my husband went to the store to return the sand. It was a VERY UNPLEASANT experience to learn that there is a 90 day window on returns (with receipt) and NO EXCEPTIONS ARE GRANTED FOR A RESELLABLE ITEM such as polymeric sand! Needless to say, we have made our LAST purchase at Lowes and I will be sharing this VERY NEGATIVE experience EVERYWHERE I can.

Facial recognition, tracking of what isles you enter, logging of what products you check out with, license plate readers, and more. Yikes. The staff are...fine. In some categories, they have a nice selection. However in many other categories, they have one single option. The prices are comparable to Home Depot, sometimes a little lower. But Walmart prices tend to be better, for the items they sell.

The…read moreonly reason is I kind of want to perpetuate the secret that such an amazing business exists. We have been doing business with Rachel for years now. Everything from reupholstery to commissioning of brand new furniture, pillows, slipcovers...you name it. When I say every single piece of work has been flawless, I'm not exaggerating. Rachel delivers her work on time, at remarkable value, and is capable of virtually anything you can dream up. A recent example: we have a beautiful George Nakashima table and have always admired the leg support construction. We asked Rachel to build an art gallery-style bench with the same type of support. She simply looked at the table when she was here and, a few weeks later, delivered a stunning Nakashima style bench with exquisite black walnut legs. If I pointed to this bench and told you it was Nakashima, you would believe it. If you have furniture building or upholstery work of any level of challenge, Rachel will be the best phone call you ever placed.

She was thoughtful and informative with fabric recommendations, was able to do the job and had it done in a week.
