On 8/23/18, the first day of the Labor Day Sale I purchased the Maytag Suite and was billed incorrectly.
When I purchased the appliances, the sales person took me over to customer service counter to charge me, the customer service representative at the counter acted annoyed and was eating peanuts and never stop through the first attempt of charging me the special. I should have stop and walk out at that moment. I didn't feel like a customer, I felt like I was bothering them.
The keep having problems with getting to the sale price of the items, and call the assistant manager over then the store manager and over an hour later they got the number to match the sale price of $2,598.
I later found that the Home Depot Web Site had the exact breakdown of the promotion and they invoiced me incorrectly.
Here is the breakdown of the proper billing, (which was posted on the Home Depot Web Site for Labor Day Promotion):
Dishwasher - $477.90
Refrigerator - $1,97.60
Electric Range - $598.50
Mircowave - $208
Sub Total - $2782
Minus $184 Discount
Total - $2,598
I was charged the following which calculated to the same total.
Dishwasher - $413.50
Refrigerator - $1,546.50
Electric Range - $547.50
Mircowave - $90.50
Total - $2,598
In addition, there was installation and parts for these items of $249.94
I did not take delivery of the Microwave, due to it being too big to fit the space in my kitchen. When the items were being delivered, I called Home Depot and they said that I would be credited for the item and the installation charge.
Based on the correct billing, I should receive the following credit.
Microwave $208
Microwave Installation $99
Total Credit Due $307
I never received a credit so on 9/12/18 I call the Home Depot Store and went over all this with Chase in the appliance department and he had to check with the store manager to get the $307 authorized due to the Original Invoice being incorrect. He called me back later that day and said it was approved by his manager and I would get the $307 credit.
On the morning of 9/13/18 I received a call from Sherry that I would be receiving a $198 credit. Again, I went through the explanation of how I was supposed to be charge and how I actual was. Also, I explained to her my disappointment with the whole experience and the amount of time spent on this purchase. I asked her to check with Chase and that he had received approval from his manager to credit me the $307. Later that afternoon she called me back and said that they were not going to give me the $307 credit. I asked if she ever talked to Chase and she said no. She said they should actually be charging more, since I didn't take delivery of the Microwave. I explained to her that I called Home Depot at the time of delivery and ask them what my options were and was told I would get the credit for the Microwave and Installation.
In addition to this purchase I have a $15,000 cabinet order and $2,000 carpet order that I am now cancelling.
I can't believe how unprofessional the staff is and how this whole experience was and how they don't know how to correctly charge for their own sales promotion or how to provide a proper credit. Then one person tells you that have a credit approved and another person says you should be being charged more.
I will be going to Lowes from now on. read more
