Absolutely horrible experience!
In August I purchased a washer and dryer set with a stacking kit and was told that it was on back order and wouldn't be delivered until around September 15. I was also told that I would receive a phone call the day before with an estimated delivery time.
By late in the evening the day before, the estimated delivery date, I still had not received a phone call. Upon contacting Home Depot, I was placed on hold while they had to look up my order to tell me that it was placed on back order for another month. It felt like they had forgotten about it and were not going to tell me unless I called about it.
After a conversation with the store and a new order, I was given a new delivery date of October 22. When the delivery arrived at my residence on that date, I was informed that the washer had been damaged in the shipment/warehouse and that in order for them to stack them as I had requested, they could not give me neither the washer nor dryer. The agents then loaded the equipment back on their trucks leaving me once again without my washer and dryer. The agents were very apologetic and documented what was missing and assured me that as soon as the issue was fixed they would be in contact with me.
Later, I was given a new delivery date of November 20. When that day arrived, the delivery agent informed me that he only had the washer and that it was a drop off only. He was, however, nice enough to attach the hoses and ensure that it worked before he left, but I was still without the dryer I had ordered.
I called Home Depot and informed them of the mix up and was told that I would receive a call by the beginning of the week from the delivery company to schedule another delivery date.
After not hearing from them for a couple of days. I made at least two phone calls to Home Depot for follow up, each time being told that they were waiting to hear from the supervisor of the delivery company.
Finally at the beginning of December, (about 2 weeks later), I received an automated call from the delivery company stating that the delivery would take place on December 29. At this point, I decided that since I had already been waiting three months for the set, I would return the dryer and purchase it separately at another vendor.
First I would like to say that while I understand order backlogs due to COVID, what is unacceptable is the fact that the delivery company showed up twice to my residence with incorrect information/missing pieces/incorrect orders despite it being documented quite clearly in the initial and follow up paperwork and receipts.
I do appreciate the honesty of the delivery agents and their willingness to go out of their way to make the customer happy. Despite, that, I find the communication between Home Depot and the delivery agent to be lacking. I also find the communication of both Home Depot and the delivery agent with me, the customer, to also be completely unacceptable. The customer should not have to constantly call for followups because of not having been kept informed of the progress of a delivery especially over a period so long in duration. Four months is a RIDICULOUS amount of time to wait for a washer and dryer that could have been correctly delivered in one month.
I will be hard pressed to ever order another appliance from this Home Depot with option for delivery. read more
