My wife and I bought a really great GE washer and dryer set. The product is working well. The service from Home Depot was a complete disaster.
They sold me new hoses, dryer vent, even power cord to ensure installation upon delivery - apparently, they can't use old hook-ups. Well, I stayed home from work for the delivery guys and when they got there, they informed me that they wouldn't install do to an inappropriate set-up I had (plus a leaky valve). So, they left and I called a plumber. After a few days, I got the valve replaced and rescheduled delivery of the washer/dryer.
That delivery never happened.
I stayed home from work, again, only to call and find out they forgot to put the appliances on a truck. They forgot to deliver my stuff. I called the store and they were quite upset, told me they really yelled at the delivery company, that they would make a special delivery for me on Saturday, and the delivery company would then call and make things up to me. I got a 3-7pm delivery window for the that Saturday.
At 8:00 at night the driver called to say he was 30 minutes to an hour away.
When they finally showed up at about 8:30 and took the machines out, the dryer was damaged.
This was about a month after we had bought the products. I had given over most of three days to delivery of these things. The last thing I was going to do was refuse delivery for what was probably a cosmetic issue. The delivery person said I could call the store and get a damage allowance since he would write it up. So I accepted. I then installed the appliances myself because my hook-ups weren't up to spec, with the hoses, etc. that I had been talked into buying so that I could get guaranteed installation by the pros.
I went to the store to get my damage allowance. They said I had to call GE. Still nothing about the forgotten delivery, but one thing at a time, right?
I did get a damage allowance from GE, but I never heard anything about the delivery problems. I tried to get through by phone to GE but they want you to call the store. So I called the store some more.
That's when they just started blowing me off.
"Oh we already got you that," they said. I don't have a name because they wouldn't give me their name. Probably because they were now in blow-off mode, hoping I'd go away.That was weeks ago and I never got any compensation or even apology for the failed and late deliveries.
Well, they got their wish. I'm tired of dealing with this. I'll go away now, permanently. I'll certainly never buy another appliance from The Home Depot again. read more
