My name is Jim, I have been a frequent Home Depot customer for years. I have consistently given Home Depot my business based on great product selection and exceptional customer service.
My recent experience has shaken my faith in Home Depot's commitment to customer service. My wife and I started a full basement family room remodel in fall 2022. The following outlines our experience.
* We met with Sandy at the 3400 Highland Ave in Cincinnati OH, store number 3832. Our interactions with Sandy were great, she helped with details of the layout.
* We purchased Thomasville cabinets, which looked great on display and had the style/color we wanted. Sandy and other Home Depot design specialists told us that countertops were a 3 to 4 week special order and install.
* We paid in full for the cabinets and other items on September 9th. Other items we purchased were flooring, floor leveler and various other project related materials.
* We had our contractor begin demolition of the entire basement on October 10th.
* All seemed to be going great, the cabinets arrived at the house on November 1st, which we was confirmed by the delivery company Expo.
* After talking with the contractor, we ordered countertops. This order was paid for on October 31st.
* Expo brought the cabinets before lunch on a Tuesday. As the delivery was in process, my family watched a box of wall cabinets fall from the truck. Delivery men stacked boxes two high on the dolly, which was on the liftgate of the truck. The top box fell to the street below. The delivery man guy stacked it back on the dolly brought it in my garage. He told me to contact Thomasville for damage issues. Needless to say, that cabinet was damaged severely.
* I contacted Thomasville and spoke to Dxxx Wxxx in customer service, who implied that I was STUPID. Thomasville sent new cabinets, however the delay and having to adjust every cabinet cost time and money. Several screws that secure the doors broke off while being adjusted. I have attached pictures that show this damage.
* The countertops, which we paid for on the 31st of October, were measured and supposedly ordered by or on November 9th.
* We later find that someone at Home Depot store #3832 didn't send the order over to KBR until the first week of December.
Sadly, this customer service fiasco doesn't end here.
* I have talked to Cam and Lezlie at the Home Depot store several times. Cam told me on December 9th he would be calling the first of the week, so I thought that he would call the 12th or 13th. As of January 9th 2023 have not heard from him. My countertops were installed on December 22nd.
* Our contractor completed the project. With the numerous mistakes, delays and adjustments, I had to pay him an additional $3,275.00. read more
