Appalling customer service, complete disregard for safety and zero accountability for their mistakes. I ordered an induction cooktop from Home Depot, choosing them because they had the quickest delivery date, and I was up against a deadline when I am hosting family from overseas and absolutely need a functioning kitchen . Installation was not an option through them so I intended to hire an electrician to install the unit. At the time of delivery, one of the delivery people picked the unit up by a thin, white, plastic strap with one hand, and dangled it off the back of the truck- the other delivery person was nowhere near him, so when the thin strap snapped, the unit crashed to the ground. A simple google search shows that even though a dropped unit may look undamaged on the outside, interior components may be damaged and pose safety risks. Instead of apologizing and sending a replacement unit, I had to spend 4+ hours with an AI chat Bot trying to get this mistake corrected. Home Depot thought that I should still install the dropped unit, and that if the unit was broken, I would need to pay the electrician to remove the broken unit and to reinstall a replacement at a later date. Additionally, I would need the dropped unit to be installed within 48 hours, otherwise Home Depot would not take it back at all, and I would need do deal directly with the manufacturer. It took 4 hours, and I was disconnected from the "customer service" rep multiple times, and had to go back to square 1, entering the zip code, phone number, name, address, email address, order number ect... and reexplaining the circumstances multiple times. I spend an entire morning doing this, and missed over 4 hours of work. Finally they agreed to send a replacement, but this wouldn't be delivered until Saturday, (it was Tuesday), and they couldn't give me a delivery window until the day before. I requested a note on my account for a morning delivery window. They were unable to send me any written confirmation about the replacement unit, and by Friday night, I still hadn't heard anything about a new delivery window. I had to spend another hour with the AI chat bot to finally get notified of my delivery window, 3-7pm on Saturday. I was told I would be called when the driver was 30 minutes out. This didn't happen. I was notified when they were 10 minutes out. Then, they proceeded to deliver a box that was completely mangled. When I unboxed the "new" replacement unit, a piece that is supposed to be flat was warped into the shape of a rainbow. So, back to the AI chat bot to waste more hours of time, while Home Depot dodges accountability for their greedy, dangerous actions. I requested them to pick up the garbage damaged unit immediately, and issue a refund as I am exhausted from dealing with their "customer service" and have zero confidence that they can provide me with a new, undamaged unit. They won't pick the unit up for another WEEK, and refuse to issue a refund for the item until they pick it up. So, now, I have 3,000+ tied up with them and can't purchase a new unit until sometime after 6/26 (who knows when the money will actually hit my account- I suspect I will need to spend hours with a chat bot for that to happen)... and my family comes of 6/29 so this leaves me with basically no time to sort this out, and no ability to cook food while my family is here visiting. I will never shop at Home Depot again. They are greedy assholes, and they don't give a FUCK about their customers, and they completely disregard safety issues. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
