What to say about home Depot. It's a home renovation place like Reno Depot, Rona and other brands of the like. But what sets it apart? I would say because it doesn't have the exact same stuff.
What I mean by that is you go to renodepot then Rona, except the fact that the accent color is yellow instead of green/blue, everything else is the same. They are now both own by the same big corporate, but it was like that before. Same stuff, same brand, same price.
Home Depot? Beside the usual big brand stuff that everyone must have (GEA, Samsung, Weber, etc), they also have many home brand or partner exclusive brand like Ryobi or living long and you can find many parts that I never found at other place.
As for the staff. I worked for 6 years in Reno Depot back on 2000, before the big Rona merger. In the first year working as a wood and mats + doors and windows, I had about 20 external paie formation to learn everything there is to know. People asked me question I could answer and I wasn't even out of college yet. Now? Unless the person you talk to is in the trade or old folks, they know nothing. And, they are nowhere to be find.
Well, that's not the case at home Depot. Everyone I talked to at home Depot knows what they are talking about. And if they need help because aren't sure, they will tell you so and seek more advice for you.
There's also a pro and pro extra membership (free).
Oh, and you know that 30 day refund policy? How about 90 days basic refund, 365+ unlimited return on unused product even without the receipt (albeit way easier if you got it cause they'll try to find it) which can give you a gift card at worst? And as a pro member, you get 365+ refundable return.
Oh and pro member can categorize everything they buy in different project right at the cashier and see online what they bought and even order more in each project. read more
