ordered a compressor online on 5-08-22. The item was not in stock and I picked in up on 6-06-22. I tired to return it within 30 days of having picked it up on 7-05-22 but was informed by the in store Vallejo agent i could only get a credit. I spoke with the Vallejo store manager and he said the same. So basically the 30 day return policy is BS because it include time that you cant possibly return the item because you don't yet have it. The item was ordered on May 8 and they said I had until June 8th to return it. So the effective return policy was 2 days -June 6 when I picked it up until June 8th which was 30 days from the order date.

How do I dispute the restocking fee with Home Depot? They said dishwasher would be delivered next week and now they are saying not till July. I cancelled the order and then saw restocking fee. They aren't restocking anything because it was never shipped

We purchased a refrigerator and a dishwasher from Home Depot. When they were delivered both of the items were damaged with visible dents and scratches that couldn't been hidden,even the delivery driver pointed some out. We refused the items. WE DO NOT HAVE THE ITEMS. We have been round and round with Home Depot and we had 4 different people telling us different things. So we just filed a dispute with our discover card. Discover cars then said that we have to go through PayPal because there isn't any proof that we didn't receive the merchandise from Home Depot. WE DONT EVEN HAVE THE APPLIANCES!! So now we are going back to Home Depot trying to get out $4k back for appliances we refused. I dont understand what the heck the problem is with Home Depot. They are refusing to help us and give our money back from them. Since Covid has happened, Home Depot has turned into one of the worst companies to purchase from. We don't know what else to do because we aren't getting our refund and claims/disputes have time limits. Please tell me how I can get this resolved.

Ive have a small electrical business and when I buy material I buy more then I need so I don't have to stop in middle of project and go get more and I don't ever keep receipts I try but have so much paperwork and so busy I loose them and I pay cash and I spend over 100k a year but with there no return without a receipt they just lost my business and a couple contractors business I know. I don't see the big deal if it's your material why can't we get gift card to buy more material from you guys what it is is a cheesy, fradulant, money hungry selfish,
POS way of treating life long customers, BUT I BET LOWES LOVES IT CAUSE THEY ARE GETTING THE BUISNESS NOW. I already spent over 40k this year home depot lost out on and I will not step a foot back in there till they change it back, Lowes don't have a problem returning without a receipt, but there not a judgment ke company like home depot everyone needs to boycott homedepot and show them who is the real person in charge

Used store credit, partially, to purchase items. $13 total. Went to return them and was denied. I was told to call their partner at 8665503133. They said I would have to dispute that would take 2 to 4 weeks. I think this is a way to keep people that pay with cash out of their stores. Let's be real... it's a racist stance. I will be returning whatever I have bought with their store card and repurchase it from Lowes... a patriotic store! Bye HD... Bye!

I will NEVER shop at Home Depot EVER Again!! I have shopped at the home Depot for many many years. This new return policy they have blows. They come up with this new policy about returns. So they can stick all their stuff where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned. Good Luck Home Depot maybe wherever you bought your Materials will do the same to you when you guys go out of business

I have been returning items I bought at the store for years with an electronic receipt if I can't find it. These are the receipts that are emailed to me. I went to my local store in Huntington Beach, CA one day and the young wanna be managet=r said they have never accepted photo copies of a receipt. I told her this was a an email one the store sent me so I went to the Westminster, CA store and the young lady said she was crazy. We always accept e-receipts. Today I went to the same store and was told that they can no longer accept e-receipts and it has been that way for a long time. I slammed my fist on the counter which shock him up. He then said let me scan your e-receipt and then told me there was no such transaction. I had to get the card I used to pay for it and slide it on the machine and it processed the refund. Normally the person at the desk would say your refund will go back to your card and that was it. The service at Home despot is getting worse with the hiring of young kids right out of school with no common sense. At least Lowe's still accepts e-receipts. If it wasn't for the fact that they don't carry most of the stuff I need I would shop there. What is the corporate policy on returns with an e-receipt? I would like corporate to respond with an email.

Here is what they post but I have wasted the last hour trying to contact them with out any luck... My packages were delivered damaged. I ordered online for simplicity reasons. Items are too bulky to carry so I didn't want to go in the store. Now it looks like I will have to lug them back to the store if I want to get them returned which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place. There should be a simple button to push that says return that just give you the run around. Never again!

I do NOT recommend Home Depot for major appliances. They buy it through some other company and then wash their hands of the transaction. I ordered a dishwasher and waited a week and a half for delivery. When the dishwasher was delivered it was badly damaged. Delivery was refused before making it into the house. Two days later, they told me it would be a full month before a replacement was available so I canceled the order. I have now been waiting 3 weeks, and still no refund to my payment card. I have called many times and get the run-around from the representatives and from their infernal infinite loop automated phone system. First, they say wait 7 days. After they 7 days, they say it takes 7 to 10 days. After 10 days, they say it takes 10 to 14 (business days). I will shop somewhere else.

Me and my team of four people have probably made over 100,000 returns to home Depot with some problems here and there but not many as you would expect y'all cry on here about the littlest things I mean I get 1100 to 2000 on each gift card about 2 to 5 times a day! And it's all done pretty easy with different IDs all you have to do is be a little computer savvy oh and have a program that knows how to guess receipts my program enters in the next digit in the invoice and the goes in line going up on the guessing of pre-tax amount of a receipt then when it finds a receipt it beeps lets me know and I head out to the store to make the return I have traveled all over the west coast and East Coast now I have started in the middle getting caught once for having a tag stuck to my shirt from a time before so I stopped when the door went off because I was confident I didn't have anything on me well they got me for some stupidity that will never happen again!! Lol. I somehow just used the same Id 25 times in a row returning a $744 door and 2 5gal paints for $165 each. Then we just by the supplies with the gift card that we already had listed on the selling websites that somebody is interested in from the day before and wants to meet and then we go buy it and meet them we have been doing this for 12 years now and finally coming out to say something because we have just one 800,000 and a lottery online with Bitcoin so we are done. Thanks alot HD, target, and lowes!! It was fun playing cat and mouse games for so long with lp and dressing up and changing appearance and the place we even change the color of our skin LOL but if you ever need if anyone ever needs any tips on how to get out with items or returns to make anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand within hours let me know at [email protected]. Thanks again and it's all been fascinating how to stay ahead of technology and to get these places back for all these people on here and in real life or other websites that have so much trouble with these three places! It is ridiculous how they take take it's time they give back and give back big! If you know what I mean and want to get them back drop me an email! Talk to you soon

Bought a fridge for $1100.00, on the day of delivery no one called, no one sent an email, nothing. I called home depot and learned they didn't actually have the fridge available. I cancelled the order but after many phone calls learned they will need to cut me a check within 21 days. Wow! To get my money back I need to wait about 1 month. This company is REDICULOUS. Don't waste your time and money buying big ticket items from home depot. It's a rip off. I reordered from Lowes and will have my new fridge within a day. Lesson learned.

I bought a $150 dewalt tool as a gift using a $49 store credit I have been carrying around.. and the rest on my credit card. When the gift was a duplicate gift.. I had the receipt and offered to return the tool I bought. When I got to the return desk I was told it cant be returned BECAUSE part of the payment came from their store credit card used to buy it with. WTF is this policy all about? This store chain is on it's way out. The only reason for not honoring their own store credit is bull. I personally spent over $10k in hone depot this year. I have 10 employees who until now have been told to only use home depot for supplies. This changes today. Hone Depot.. if you read any of these comments.. this is a $250,000 loss is purchased for 2021. Who gives a crap right? You will.. mark these words. Your the exemplitory reason for the decline of this country. No one at the helm is listening. Ice burg straight ahead!

I purchased a $340 tool for a up coming project that they do not carry in store nor have a ship to store option on. I received a text stating the tool has been delivered by FedEx 2 days early. Rushing home like a crazy person, excited for my new toy,I was let down and dismayed to find not a package in sight. More so after speaking with customer service and told that there isn't anything they are willing to do for the missing package besides open a FedEx investigation. I was informed that I will have to dispute charges with my bank. So now Homedepot wont admit to error, FedEx won't. Hopefully my bank can reverse the charges. Singularly unhelpful. Thanks Home Depot I have never been screwed so cheerfully when completing online purchases. Way to keep a buck and repulse your customers. Good job.

In the past 2 years the Home Depot in holiday, fl has charged me wrong 5 times. I wonder how many others they're robbing like this. 1st time I went with a handyman and bought several items including a garage door opener. My total was about $800 I just paid and left. Then I couldn't install the garage door opener so I got the receipt to return it and noticed it was on the receipt 3 times! I thought it's my fault for not paying attention; ent back to the store and I had to wait 3 days for them to check inventory and cameras before i could get my money back. Went to garden center in the spring and bought plants and supplies for landscaping and planned on spending about $350 and my total was 460 I was chatting with cashier and she was just scanning away and I left when I got to the car I glanced at receipt and noticed something was $118 and I didn't buy a single item that high so I went back and she rang up a $6.99 17x but I only had 2 of them!!! I had to go back to customer service and they had to call the cashier I guess to verify that. Another time I went back to store and got a few things and noticed the total was more than planned and cashier charged me for 2 shower heads, this time I noticed before I paid. Another time I bought some pavers and when I got home I realized I was charged for more pavers than I bought and was charged a higher price for some. Just the other day I went to garden center to pick up some Mums and once again I was charged for 2 extra Mums and didn't notice till I got home.
I know I should be paying attention more but when the come around with the scanner at the cart it's hard to pay attention and at the garden center the register screen is really hard to see. Are they doing this to everybody?

I'm sorry, did I mentioned the gas range I purchased in May, is still sitting in my garage. No one from Home Depot has followed up about a replacement. That's poor customer service, I went into the store, because I could. I've bought a new gas range from Abt Electronics. I believe Home Depot isn't going to come and pick their defective oven up.. probably knew it was bad from the beginning. This is my experience with Home Depot.

I have just had a very positive experience with Home Depot and appreciate the services rendered to me. Because I am in the high risk population for COVID19 I do not want to take a return to the store. My transaction was a bit complicated as I wished to return only part of my shipment and reorder. It was done in a very courteous and efficient way and I never had to leave my home. The associate was "Judith", and she is indeed a great ambassador for Home Depot!

They were losing a ton of money to fraudulent returns, so they hired a company to screen a driver's license number. Too high an amount would block that number from the system. LATEST DEVELOPMENT! EFFECTIVE AUGUST 28, NO MORE STORE CREDIT!

So, first they lost money, now they are alienating their best customers, and next will be the investors bailing in droves! Remember Toys R Us?

It was a great concept at first, shopping at 3AM, doing the job at 7, and returning what you didn't need. NOW, they close at 6, and you can start building an inventory of the things that you didn't need. Not to worry, someone will come forward who understands the word "service."

I recently purchased a gas range from HD in May 20. The first time I used the oven the CO dectector went off. Called the gas company, they come out and inspect; the meter was reading high levels of carbon monoxide, he shut the gas to the range off and the stove I purchased in May is still sitting in my kitchen. HD sent some company to repair it, they came and couldn't, the repairman said the gas valve wasn't properly seated in the burner venturi... and that I could have died if my detector wasn't working. So, I was to get a replacement, I had no stove or gas, I couldn't boil an egg. They decided to let me know that the stove was approved for replacement.. ya'll ready for this one... they replacement stove was just delivered July 27th,2020 and it wasn't a new stove.. it was banged up with scratches and dents. So asked for a full refund and if HD doesn't pick up this range in 30 days it's considered junk and I can throw it away. Don't know I'm complaining, at least I'm still alive...

I bought a washer and dryer from home Depot including installation service. After 2 unsuccessful attempts the delivery team brought my purchase with 2 missing parts and did not install them. I called home Depot the next day to see when the team would be returning with the missing parts to complete the installation and was asked to wait for another one month. I requested to return both the washer and dryer because home Depot broke a promise to install the machines and have them up and running on day of delivery. A store associate sent me an email confirmation that a return would be coordinated with me very soon. 2 days after not hearing anything, I called again and was told home Depot is unable to accept my return. The store manager also told me to feel free to hire the services of a plumber and get reimbursed for installation; however, if the washer and dryer turn out to be defective, home Depot would not be responsible. I am currently stucked with an uninstalled washer and dryer. this is my first and certainly my last shopping at home Depot. Home Depot is a bully and a cheat. I will take it upon myself to write a bad review on them every day for the next 365 days.

If you order online to pick up to keep everyone safe, be aware that it doesn't tell you until AFTER you pay if some items are not available right away. And then, it also doesn't tell you that that you have less than 24 hours to cancel something in the order (like the thing that you need that is not available for a week).

Now I get to drive 20 minutes out of my way twice to get something I need right now because I can't cancel one thing. How idiotic. Will never be shopping at home despot again.

I will NEVER buy from Home Depot Again. EVER!!!!!F The salesman said be sure to check out machine within 48 and if bad we will exchange it. He never said anything like hey...you will be stuck with your appliance if you don't do something within 48 hours. I never would have thought that would be the case and it took me 4 days to figure out maybe I should pause the washing machine and check water lever. I have a crap washer that does not even fill up with enough water to wet all the clothes and the repair man said...oh that is just how it is. I am about ready to take the washer and dump it in front of Home Depot.

They treat you like a thief when you go in to return an item with the receipt because i purchased it with a debit card and since i no longet have that account they will then have to put the balance on in store credit which was fine but then they ask for my I.D so since i dont have my I.D i cant return something i rightfully BOUGHT! So they lost my business for good! And ill be sure to call the B.B.B and let them know how rude the manager at the store on dixie hwy in KY was rude and asked me to leave when i asked her to explain to me why do i need I.D With a RECEIPT!!?

Please help! I ordered a washer and dryer from Home Depot online and although the dimensions listed on the website work in the space I need it to go, those dimensions don't include the hose and other accessories which makes it not work. It was delivered yesterday (but not installed) and is now sitting in my living room. I have called several times and am being told I cannot return it or exchange it! I am shocked. I am happy to pay a fair restocking fee and exchange this for a smaller one, but they won't allow it! This seems like horrible customer service - everyone I have talked to is shocked.

I agree with the first comment on this page. I am sick of Home Depot. I spend well over $100,000 a year there. I am in there almost every day. And yet I have items that I paid for with part cash and part store credit. I have the receipt for them and they still will not return these items. . They say there's nothing they can do. I'm done shopping their guess. I'm going back to Lowe's.

Purchased a battery powered tool and battery using combination of store credit and credit card. Upon getting home I realized I had inadvertently picked up a 18v tool incompatible with the 12v battery. Attempted to return the tool and exchange for a compatible 12v one. Home Depot stocks two different versions (18v and 12v) of the tool that have the exact same price. I had intended to purchase the 12v version of the tool and battery, unfortunately I picked an 18v tool from stock instead of the correct 12v. Both versions of the tool are exactly the same price making it very easy to confuse them. When I returned to the store to correct this over site, Home Depot verification system denied the return. Store employees and manager said there was nothing they could do. Called the verification system number provided by the store and was told there was nothing that could be done. This makes no sense. Home Depot was unwilling to provide any reasonable explanation for the denial. I am not asking for any return of funds. I am asking for an exchange for the correct tool that sells for the exact price that I paid for the incorrect item. Store manager agreed that my request was reasonable but since the verification system denied the exchange, there was nothing he could do. Since, I partially paid with a credit card, I plan to dispute the charge. I have been shopping at Home Depot without any issue for 30 years. I am so upset with Home Depot's lack of support that I will not return. Oh by the way, I have my receipt. I have read Home Depot's posted return policy and I believe that I am compliant. Home Depot, I clearly don't understand your treatment of a long term customer and complete inability to provide any explanation for this decision beyond "There is nothing that can be done". I asked to have this issue elevated to corporate management, and was told that if I had signed up for the loyalty program that I would not have had a problem with the exchange. I guess being a 30 year customer is not loyal enough to be treated fairly and equitably.

I Purchased a refrigerator from Home Depot Dec 11,2019. Free delivery December 20,2019 it did not fit so I refused it.

Today is December 30, 2019 and their is still NO REFUND. Howl long should this take? I am about ready to go to one of their competitors!!!!

I purchased a small battery powered tool and used some store credit in the purchase. When I arrived home I noticed it was the wrong size for the battery packs I had. I rushed back bought the correct one but forgot the original tool. The next day I attempted to return the wrong item and the computer system rejected the return. I was told there was nothing they could do, the manager was called and said the same thing. I even called the number on the rejection receipt and they said the same thing. Be aware if you buy tools with store credit they may not allow a return. I will probably be going to my credit card company to get a refund.

VERY dissatisfied that upon returning an item to Home Depot, I find that I am not credited the total amount of the purchase I made. Had I returned everything I had purchased listed on the receipt, they would have refunded me my full amount. In the future if I need to return something, I will evidently be necessary to return all items purchased and then repurchase only the items I want to ensure I get my full return. Having recently completed a home project of which I've spent over a $1,000 at Home Depot, I find it absolutely incomprehensible that Home Depot would adopt such a policy for its customers in this regard. Shame on them. If this is to be the new return policy of Home Depot, I will start shopping elsewhere.

Beware of making a purchase with a Home Depot Store Credit! I purchased a large tool set and paid $210 with my credit card and $51 with a store credit. I wanted to exchange the tool set for a better model, but HD won't allow the return. I have the electronic receipt and its only been 2 weeks. They say "our hands are tied - you must deal with the third party". Ridiculous. Next time I will use my store credit to buy soda or something useless. I may have to appeal it through the credit card company.

Remodeled a house in north Ga using Home Depot. Got several rebate checks sent to me. We misplaced 2 of them while moving and Home Depot said it will not reissue the rebate checks nor cash them. Of course the checks were issued in 2006 and it is now 2019, but once I found them I immediately attempted to deposit or cash them. I know it has been a few years, but the checks are still in good shape. Why can't they honor the rebates since we paid a lot of money in 2006 to remodel a house. We bought appliances, stain, wood, etc. but they can't or won't honor the rebates. They are only for $50 each,total of $100.

To everyone living in the state of Maryland. If you special ordered anything from Home Depot's third party vendor or marketplace like a door and it was damaged. Just remember when Home Depot employee or manager tells you do not return it to the store because you will not get a refund. I am telling you that you as a Home Depot customer have rights. I know I have done research. First you are allowed to return your damaged order no matter what you are told. They do not tell you in detail nothing except to contact their customer care. They hide the fact that when you special order anything they will not deal with you anymore after they take your order and money. Also that when you deal with their third party vendor that they will only refund you the money in the amount that they were given which means you will never get your full refund because Home Depot will not order through that vendor unless there is something in it for them. they keep a portion of your payment.You do not know when you order that Home Depot will not help you if that order is damaged.State Law clearly states when you make a purchase with a business no matter what their policy states if your order is damaged that business has to replace it,repair it or give you a full refund. Contact the State Attorney Generals office and file a complaint. Check on their site and that is where I got this info. Contact the federal Trade Commission (FTC) and let them know the business practices that Home Depot is doing when you feel they are being unfair and deceptive.Like they did with me when I got that damaged door from Jeld-Wen, Inc. You can also contact the BBB.I can just about imagine how many people out there who made a special order and it arrived damaged and when they had enough run around between Customer Care from Home Depot and the third party merchant that ended up asking for a refund and either never got it or got it all except Home Depots cut. They are ripping people off.You have to know what your rights are as a consumer.Make sure you always use your bank issued credit card when you make a purchase on any special order or you buy any appliance at the Home Depot so you have a fair fighting chance in getting your money back in a dispute with the business who took your money not the third party vendor what I was told I had to deal with. I hope this will help and if it just helps a few who read this then I have done what I was hoping I could do.I hate a thief and people who deliberately deceive people to fill their bank accounts. Good Luck!

Special ordered a door when I got it there were so much damage that was done when they made the door like a big gap at the top where you could see daylight. It was not square. There was a large dent in the front and chipped brick molding where they caused the damage while putting the brad nails in it. They asked to see photos I sent them and was told someone would contact me. Four weeks later someone contacted me after I called Home Depot they said I had to contact their third party who was Jeld-Wen, Inc.They told me they would send me a paper to sign to replace the door the following day and three days later still no email with a letter attached. I called Home Depot and told them I was bringing the door back and get a refund. i was told do not bring it to the store in Hagerstown, Md. because they will not give me a refund I have to get it from their third party vendor. I read on line if Jeld-Wen, Inc gives you a refund it will only be in the amount they were given meaning Home Depot will keep their cut so you get no full refund. I paid Home Depot it is for them to make my order right or give me my full refund.If I used their store credit card I would never get my money. If I paid cash I would not get my money back. thank God I used my bank issued credit card because I called them when I realized for a month I was getting the run around. they told em the merchant was Home Depot and they are liable for issuing my refund. I may have to wait up to 3 months,but they said I will get my refund.I will never get any thing like windows or doors or any appliance from Home Depot especially after reading the complaints and from the way I was treated with the way they handled my door order.They only care about how they can cheat you out of your money not making sure they make their customers happy.They have very poor customer service. they want your money now,but they make you wait.The man who placed my order was very nice,but failed to tell em if I have any issues with my door I had to deal with their vendor who made the window that they would not deal with them.

Buyer beware! I purchased 2 items online that HD did not carry in the store. Store employee said to order online. The items did not work and I returned them. Only to hear that HD has or is implementing a restocking fee. When I protested about this policy NOT being disclosed upfront, was told it was on the website, they did waive it this time however. So here I am looking for it and I can not find it in HD return policies. Not sure what the local store or HD corporate is trying to pull on unsuspecting consumers. But I told the return desk employee that I would no longer be ordering from HD. Lots of times used HD because I could pick it up at local store, but there are other retailers that want the business more than HD apparently does.

I placed an Online Order on Sept. 4, 2019 for a single item. The steel column was to be delivered the next day; I waited around all day. No delivery by UPS. So, I called on the night of 9/6/19, spoke to customer service. No status as UPS was closed. So, today 9/6 I call customer service. A terse "call rejected" message, then hangup. I call local store: "call rejected". I call another HD customer service number "call rejected".
So, Home Depot took my money for the item and their phone system hangs up automatically. This is called Fraud or misrepresentation or theft by deception or breach of contract - you decide. Who makes a customer service number universally blocked upon inquiry to pending order? WTF

Bought new appliances at Home Depot in the Clinton Iowa Store on August 6th, 2019. they were delivered damaged and sent back. The delivery person filled out a damage report, called the store to inform them of the damage and told me to take it to home depot for a refund which by the way i paid with cash. I go to the HOME DEPOT store the next morning and am told i can not get a refund until they received the damage report from the warehouse when by the way they have from the delivery people from that warehouse. Needless to say i was told to wait 7-10 days for a report of damage which i did. I called several times to the store to see if the report was back and was told no. I then call corporate after 30 minutes being connected to 3 other people was told the paper work has been at the store for a week now. They say give them this code to verify i talked to corporate. I do as I am told this morning and this so called manager tells me i can not get a refund even tho i had receipt, damage report and they had the paperwork from the warehouse saying damaged items were there. This so called manager says I need to wait an additional 21 days to get a check from corporate. In the meantime i am sitting her almost a month with no stove, no fridge and no washer/dryer and NO REFUND.. Please think twice about buying from HOME DEPOT. Getting a lawyer involved in the morning.

My kids gave me an $80 gift card for HD. I've used it for various small things. When sent to get a widget, I get there and there are 3 different kinds. So I buy all three so my ex doing the work can pick the right one, and then I return the two that were the wrong kind of widgets. In returning the wrong widgets, they ask for my ID, even though I have the receipt. So now they're treating me like a shoplifter and refusing to return any items purchased with a store credit because I've made too many returns with my ID, even though I've had the receipt for every single return. Even if only a few dollars was paid with the store credit and the major portion with my credit card, they won't take the item back. I will never shop HD again if I don't have to. I will take all my business to Lowe's. I also plan to bring this insane policy to public attention by contacting my local news station for their consumer advocate program. Anyone know of class action lawsuit? I'm extremely mad. They've wasted more of my time between return attempts and phone calls to corporate than I would like to count up.

Returned vinyl tile recently. Selling house due to loss of wife and have to split proceeds with 2 daughters from previous marriage and had to move out. Real estate agent said not to bother doing any improvements. They gave me lowest price they could. $13 for 2 boxes. I found receipt soon afterwards and showed them I paid $53 for them. They refused to give me difference. Told them I'll buy them back for price they gave me, but they refused to do that. Wanted to sell to someone who would give me close to what I paid. I have been to other businesses in past who would reimburse me difference if I brought in receipt. Basically, they ripped me off of $40. I think they are a bunch of shysters who will do whatever they can to rip off customers. They also wouldn't take back a couple of other items I purchased there even though I had receipt. I don't think I ever want to shop there again. I would advise anyone not to shop there to avoid being ripped off. I've had problems returning defective items in past also. BTW, this was at Home Depot in Wappingers Falls.

This is one of the worst return experiences I have ever had. Bought a hunter fan online, it arrived with glass globe broken. Home Depot customer service, hooked me up with Hunter Fans (after several transfers and a dropped call) who ordered a replacement globe at no cost. BUT SURPRISE it is on backorder with no known date. So then decided to return entire fan which is proving to be difficult, can't get UPS label to print, etc. Home Depot farms out its customer service and its not working. BTW, Home Depot rejected my product review 3 times saying there wasn't enough detail. HAHAHAHA. Never getting my online business again.

Anyone know what is going on with Home Depot. I buy and flip houses and sometimes have 4 - 6 houses at the same time. I use multiple contractors to fix them up and when the houses are done there are lots of left over stuffs. Well I try returning them and they won't let me anymore because I do not have a receipt. My question is Does Home Depot have a limit on stuff returned without receipt? before they stop letting you? Please advise.

I used to return multiple items to Home Depot well over the 90-day return policy. My local store had kind of an unwritten rule that they would return items up to 1 year old, especially if you used the same credit card and it was on file. ALL THAT HAS CHANGED. Just within the last 6 months, both Home Depot and Lowe's have started being very strict about not accepting returns outside of the stated return policy window. My guess is that Corporate looked at this issue and realized they were losing a lot of money by having such lenient return policies, so I think all these changes are coming from higher up. I have even taken stuff back within the return policy window and been rejected for small, miscellaneous details, and even had one associate tell me he couldn't take back a bathroom faucet back because it was used and not brand new. I told him that of course it was used and it started leaking from the water side of the faucet tip, which is why I was bringing it back, and he insisted he could not take it back because it wasn't brand new. So I guess next time you go to Home Depot or Lowe's, make sure every single part/packaging is included, be within the return window, and be ready to fight and state your case as to why you should get the return. The days when we could bring stuff back 11 months later without a receipt are now over, both at Home Depot and Lowe's. It must have been a corporate decision.

This site tellls you nothing! Home Depot has long changed their return policy since 2016. Store credit cannot be used online or in a store without a license. Also they won't return power tools after 60 days, they will tell you to contact manufacturer for a warranty. This site is acting like nothing has changed, they don't have a clue what they are talking about. I encourage everyone to return as much as possible with a receipt. Since they tightened the policy to put the squeeze on the little guys I hope to cost them as much as possible. Home Depot is a crook company that pays minimum wage and sells poor quality Chinese garbage

on 12/26/18 at 9:57PM

For online orders shipped to store for pick up, is the Home Depot 90 day return window based on:
1) the date order was placed
2) the date they charged your credit card (most retailers do not charge your card until the order is actually fulfilled i.e. shipped)
3) the date you pickup the item in store

Example: Placed online order on 11/1/18. Received shipping confirmation email on 11/4/18. Received email confirmation that item is available for pick up on 11/8/18 (and picked up same day).

I ask because unlike in store purchases, technically the customer is losing out on a few days with online orders.

Unopened door hardware home Depot still sells in perfect sealed condition ... Approx total value $80. Their posted policy at the return counter states, "returns made without a sales receipt or with an expired receipt may be returned for store credit or exchange at the lowest advertised sales price.". Home Depot would not return my product and would not give me a reason for not returnongy product. They do not honor their advertised posted policy... And the store manager does not, his words, have the ability to override this. I love shopping at Home Depot, but now feel compelled to shop at Lowe's, as I felt so disrespected and insulted. I purchase materials all the time for them last 25 years from Home Depot. But I'm not rooting for them as I've seen this type of issue multiple times in the last 1-2 years. I now put everything on pro-rewards to avoid this but this shabby level of customer service where they're not even following their posted policy is unethically inexcusable. I now want to see Home Depot lose market share on the national stage.

We no longer will purchase items here, due to their lack of customer service & their ignorance for veterans! We are shopping at Lowes, their Veteran's discount is awesome, along with their Customer Service! (Which sucks at Home depot!) Shame on you home depot!

Had an estimate done for my kitchen, Purchased Porcelain tile to do a Kitchen renovation. Paid @2118.62 to have materials delivered. Had to call and set up my own delivery after not hearing from anyone as stated when they took my money, work paid for site unseen. The first delivery day they called 1 time I missed the call. I called them less then 30 minutes after missed call due to being put on hold. When I finally spoke with someone, I was informed they driver already returned all items and has left for another job they can no longer deliver that day. even though the wait period for delivery is from 6am to 8 pm. Rescheduled for the next Tuesday. Get call state to driver do you want me to come down to open the door, I'm in an apartment building he informs me he is a curb side delivery only. So I say I'm a 53 year old female how am I suppose to get 12 boxes of tile and 3 50pound bags of grout upstairs. he was like well I only do curbside. Oh cause I had to go into the Springfield Garden, NY Home depot and cancel order. I paid you and you can't deliver to my apartment when you knew from the jump I'm in an apartment building. BE MINDFUL OF HOME DEPOT, still waiting on my refund...Might end up in court.

Do not buy from Home Depot. They nickel and dime you and take forever to ship and deliver! I ordered some laminate floors on Oct 13. the under layment and baseboards were available the next day my floors were scheduled to arrive on Oct 22. All of a sudden shipping gets delayed until Oct 27! I call and say this is taking too long! I go out and buy floors front menards a competitor who has most of their flooring in stock after I'm assured by Home Depot I can return my order. Now Home Depot is saying I need to pay a restocking fee of $200! Hell no! The associate has an attitude the manager had an attitude but did waive this fee! In 2018 you cannot take 14 days to deliver floors. I'm sorry I have more Renos but will not be using Home Depot! You just loss thousands more in business! The associate who assured me my order would be cancelled said nothing about the fee or I may have changed my plans and waited for the floors to come from China! Yes I'm sure that's where they were coming from as any warehouse in the us can certainly get floors in before 14 days!

Purchased a $65 tub faucet shower set 5 months ago for renovating an old home I bought. Due to my job and the severe fires we've had in Cali I'm just now getting to finish up the bathroom. After being told have to completely redo Plumbing in that room decided to go a different way keeping the old style theme wanted to return this unopened product with receipt to Home Depot and exchange for more antique set to match My motief. was told they would only give me $0.01 (ONE CENT)for it, NO IN STORE CREDIT, NO EXCHANGES!!!! But they'd be happy to help me locate new set I was interested in but I would have to purchase it at its full price minus the $0.01 refund. Talk about shock and awe. I told him I'm selling on eBay first before I took a penny for it and from now on I'll purchase my home supplies even at a higher price gladly from their competition.

Home Depot will gladly take your money and push for you to purchase extended warranties. BUT, when something goes wrong, they will leave it up to you to get the problem resolved. So what if you spent almost 200.00 on the extended warranty. They got their money, they have washed their hands of you, and now you are stuck with a defective product that they won't back or help you with.. Cut up the card, and DO NOT give Home Depot your money.

On July 2 ordered from Home depot Canada an item online. On July 3 called and cancelled the order. It was still pending and not shipped. Was told could take 3 days for cancellation to go through. July 4 had confirmation order was shipped. Called Home Depot again. They said it was redirected. You would think with the technology today they could have contacted the warehouse and stopped order though that would be to simple. A few days went by didn't here from them. Again the response was redirected. Another few days went by had a call from a courier in Creston that they missed us our order arrived. Called Home Depot again they emailed me a return label. I took it to the courier to have it shipped back. I never even seen the order. It was shipped back July 13. I have called then all I was in transit. I have sent a few emails with no response. Finally a few days ago went on the Home Depot chat line it was in there warehouse. Still waiting for a refund approx $400.00. Have dealt with competitors never run into this problem. The pony express was faster. My days are finished with Home Depot and there shoddy service

Clearly a defective product. Home depot will not take back this appliance. nor LG as they say they will take all efforts to repair it if not, then they will arrange fr refund. LG warranty service till date have not sent a technician. its been more than 10 days. they say have wait to wait for techhnicican's report . before deciding the refund. Home depot says, it is between me and the LG. the managers are rude and don't care at all.BAD Customer service. PLEASE dont buy any major appliance with Home depot

AC unit is defective, remote doesn't work and compressor is outregeously loud. They refused to refund money claiming it's a major appliance, said I needed to talk to manager, but, manger is conveniently busy or unavailable each time I try. Left my number, they do not call back...never had these types of issues in the past...Now I have a Brand New LG AC Unit that's useless and I can't get my money back...they just lost a huge customer...

I've noticed that Home Depot has been putting "max refund value" on the receipt for items purchased...and it shows a 9.3% reduction. So, if I purchase $100 worth of anything, the most I will get back if I return it because it didn't fit, didn't work, or wasn't needed (one always purchased more fittings than needed, of course),the most I'll get back is $93.30. Is this a store-wide policy or is it directed at certain individuals? I purchase $20,000+ worth of materials a couple years ago for complete remodel and returned a couple hundred $ worth at end of project (they weren't too pleased). Are they punishing me or is this for everyone?

Cancelled an online appliance order after discovering I could save hundreds elsewhere. They had not even scheduled delivery yet, but HD wouldn't issue the refund back to my credit card. They told me to wander into my local HD to beg for it in person without even providing any cancellation documents. Luckily, my credit card company fought for me to get my refund back to my credit card. Never shopping at HD again.

HD returns that receive store credit are now registered to a person. So if my husband has a store credit issued to a HD card (not HD credit card) it will be registered to him. That means if I need to use I can't. That should be illegal. First off that is way too much info for a gift card or store credit to have. Can you imagine if that was the case with a Ralph's or Arco gift card ? No one would every want or buy one? If they haven't been hacked already they will be. Basically they are making our personal information more vulnerable. What if the card is issued to someone who dies? Do I have to present an original death certificate to them to receive the credit? I'm pretty sure we'll be hearing about a class action lawsuit soon.

That means if I need to use I can't. That should be illegal. First off that is way too much info for a gift card or store credit to have. Can you imagine if that was the case with a Ralph's or Arco gift card ? No one would every want or buy one? If they haven't been hacked already they will be. Basically they are making our personal information more vulnerable. What if the card is issued to someone who dies? Do I have to present an original death certificate to them to receive the credit? I'm pretty sure we'll be hearing about a class action lawsuit soon.

DON"T BUY APPLIANCES AT HOME DEPOT.

They have 3rd parties ship and deliver the appliances, and in my case, I got a dishwasher that was defective and then the WILL NOT REFUND your money or take it back. They send LG to come out and say it works when it doesn't and nothing is done.

Going to buy a new one from someone else and eat the ENTIRE cost.

Home Depot is NO HELP AT ALL.

Anything on your ID or driver's license card is encoded into the strip on the back. This is your confidential information! When a store scans it, they can retain all of this information. That includes your name, address, birth date, hair color, eye color, height, weight, etc. Considering the constant cyber security corporate breaches by online hackers, this practice is dangerous and unnecessary as your information will no doubt end up in the hands of criminals on the dark web. No thank you Home Depot. . .

I'll shop online where returns and easy and safer.

This is the 3rd week I have waited for a refund on things I had bought online. No emails nothing from home Depot. They need to change their online policies because they aren't working. If you don't accept delivery or cancel delivery in my opinion they need to call the delivery company and confirm delivery wasn't scheduled or cancelled. That would save a lot of compliants. It's basically like they are accusing you of stealing from them. Sorry but if im going to be treated like you think I'm stealing I won't do business at your store anymore.

Today I tried to return some items I purchased from this DIY Giant company, The Home Depot. I have been returning items purchased without a receipts but with their HD packaging. To my surprise, they decline a merely $61 return. Worse of all the return cashier looked at me as if I was a thief. I bought a house and have been repairing it. So far I may have spent about 18k at the HD from paint to tiles and every little run when I needed anything. Its convenient to pick up something quickly but often holding and securing a receipt is often the last thing on my mind. They know it and bank on this taking advantage of the opportunity to decline returns.

All new appliances were the next big purchase but will not be buying them at HD. With many of the bad comments from other buyers HD only is best to use for smaller items that if they refuse to return it isn't a big lost. Sad they really don't care about their customers and are quick to judge and discriminate their customers.

Please Be Well-advised: Do Not Order Anything From Home Depot, Especially Not Any Installation! I Ordered 2 Toilets (both Readily In-stock At My Local Home Depot Outlet On Terminal Avenue In Vancouver, Bc), Their Delivery, Installation And Removal Of The 2 Old Toilets. The Product And Each Of These Services Had Separate Costs, And I Was Required By Home Depot To Write Up An Order For Everything And Pay In Full. Three Weeks Later, The Product And Services Were Scheduled To Be Provided, But Home Depot Cancelled The Entire Order With No Notice To Me, No Explanation, No Rebooking And No Apology For My Wasted Time Waiting For Nothing. Unsolicited, Home Depot Simply Issued Me An Online Refund. So, After Over 3-weeks Of Waiting For Scheduling, And Then A Whole Day Waiting For Scheduled Installation, And Another Day Spent Calling Home Depot Again And Again But Getting No Answers As To What Happened, I Received Nothing But Grief, Stress, Lost Wages And Zero Customer Satisfaction From Home Depot. I Am No Pursuing Legal Action. Beware! Stay Away From Home Depot!

When you buy an appliance online with a credit card from HD and then cancel the order before delivery you DO NOT GET A CREDIT POSTED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD at the time you cancel. HD keeps you money and the undelivered appliance until they can contact the delivery subcontractor which may take weeks.

This unwillingness to issue prompt credit card refunds is egregious and is a download of risk to the consumer. Do not risk purchasing appliances from this vendor.

Today I took delivery of a new Maytag washer and dryer from Home Depot. The first time I used the washer, it was obvious something was grinding away in it. I called HD (well within the 48 hours you're supposed to have to complain) and was told I needed to get in touch with Maytag for them to inspect and/or repair. I said that wasn't good enough, and the guy said he'd talk to his manager, and call me right back. He didn't of course, I'm sure hoping I'd leave it until the magic 48 hours passed. However, I shall go into the store in the morning and make a fuss if I have to. Wish me luck....

After trying to return the extra items after buying close to $25000 for two home the refuse my return of $400. They asked me for receipt, which I did not have, and return was denied. Even after calling number, they said I returned too many times. Equation register.

I recently tried to return $130 worth of siding that I have had for over 90 days. I decided I was going to trade for vinyl siding. However, when I got to the store I was told the return was "denied" by an outfit called "The Retail Equation". This is the way Home Depot recoups its losses? On the backs of good customers? There is no telling how much this costs the Home Depot to hire these bullies, and they think they are improving their bottom line? I have always shopped HD because of their generous return policy, but no more. It will only be an "if I have to" type of purchase. And don't give me a story about how someone stole $10000 worth of stuff and then returned it to the store. Sounds like a manager dropped the ball with that in the first place, and so now all HD customers have to be ripped off? To Home Depot: YOU HAVE LOST A VALUABLE CUSTOMER. I FIX AND FLIP HOUSES. I WILL NOT USE HOME DEPOT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU FIX THIS.

Home Depot Appliances: a 3rd party drop ship type of affair. They stock a few of the large appliances but most of it is drop-shipped which means you pay Home Depot then they order the appliances from GE, Electro-Lux, etc (that's why they say it will be a week before delivery) and then the vendor (GE, Electro-Lux, etc) delivers them to your door. So if you send it back for refund first they have to get a pickup date from the vendor (seems to take a week) then another week for the vender to send the truck crew then 7-10 working days for Home Depot to issue your refund.

So I stopped going to Home Depot for anything except what they have on the floor for sale (pay and go from now on) and went to Appliance Liquidators (a Ma and Pa business). Unlike at Home Depot, I was able to buy items off the floor, scratch and dent and New and the sales reps are professionals who know their stuff. Bought a $1000 (that's street price) electric range for $500 (was scratch and dent plus all black so it's a hard one to sell when it cones to matching appliances), a new Haeir 4-door all stainless fridge for under $1K and a dishwasher off the floor for 1/3rd off the price. Bought it on Friday and they delivered it on Tuesday (took 1-2 working days). Very happy with Appliance Liquidators {8^D

So here's the choice we customers have: keep returning to Hoe Depot to be mistreated, lied too and otherwise blamed for anything you bring to the attention of management or ... break the habit and start going to Ma and Pa stores. You'll be very glad you did

First they don't have my paperwork, next they state they gave me a refund but can't produce the proof and now it's I voided the warranty because I didn't have my carpets professionally cleaned after 1 year. Constant excuses and terrible customer service!!

We are all to blame....me included. How many times have I said, or have you said," never again will I shop at Home Depot". Ffor me it's got to be at least five.

I go to the Ladera heights store in Los Angeles California. They have a bit of scrap wood which they sell for 70% off. Really were doing them a favor because if they couldn't sell it they would have to take it to a dump and pay dumping fees. The wood in this van is supposed to be spray-painted on the ends with the color purple it really has also most of the pieces of wood, since they've been cut or broken or whatever don't have the UPC label on them so when you get to the cashier and I tell them that all of the wood is from the bin .... They look at me and ask "oh are you sure it's from the bin" as if iat 50 it is my main goal in life to go to Home Depot and steal broken wood. On the rare occasions we can get around this hurdle then they say well I can ring it up because there's no UPC label. Now I know this must happen at least 10 times a day and yet nobody has taken the initiative to solve it. For example, if I was the manager I would say any wood under 6 feet is a dollar and any wood over 6' is two dollars . Node Home Depot I am available for management positions. Look how quickly I came up with that brilliant solution. Almost every time it ends up with me leaving a pile of wood at the cashiers counter after waiting for them to try to figure out how to sell the world to me . On one occasion as I was walking out the cashier asked me if I could put the wood back "since I now do not want to buy the word" I told her that in fact I didn't want to buy the wood but they just couldn't figure out how to sell it to me and no I would not put the wood back. I will await contact from Home Depot

I've been a Home Depot customer for 20 years since 1997. I co-owned a small construction company and in 20 years have spent over $600,000 at their stores. I've also flipped three homes. All tools, gear, appliances, etc. were bought there.

In the mid-'00s I stopped using any of my 3 credit cards almost completely as well as my business and personal debit card. I refuse to get their credit card. I only pay in cash. If I know I'm going to be buying $3,000 of items that day, I'll go to the bank and take the money out for it. Two years ago I made a $7,500 total purchase in one day at Home Depot in cash.

Just in the past three years Home Depot has been hacked 3 times (2015, 2016, 2017) and each time over 50 million people's credit cards and personal info was leaked and found on the dark web for sale. Once they were even warned there was a security breach and they took no action. I keep all of my receipts and even have a Home Depot folder but occasionally I will misplace one or one of my guys fails to give it to me.

I tried making a return a few months ago and was denied. The woman at the return counter called over a co-worker in front of 10 other people and said loudly "Look at this!" When I asked what the problem is she told me "I will never be able to make another return at any store again." I didn't know about The Retail Equation then and wasn't aware I was supposed to receive a printout with a number and Phone number to call. When I got home and did some research I found out about this company. I called my local Home Depot and explained what happened and they said the only way to get my personal number for TRE is to come back and attempt to do another return so he could print it out for me.

I did that and contacted TRE and got my return history. In 2015 I lost my wallet in CT at a casino. The next day I got a call from someone saying he found my wallet and got my number from my business card and he'd send it to me in the mail. He told me everything appeared to be there but there was no cash in it. This man said he found the wallet in Rhode Island. I've never been to Rhode Island. When I looked at my RTE report the 1st return w/o a receipt was for a Home Depot in RI. The 2nd one was mine for $79. The 3rd one was the return I was told to attempt so I could get my RTE info to contact them (which is needed.)

This blew my mind. Apparently, someone who found my wallet took my cash and used my ID to make a fraudulent return. Then TRE counted the return I attempted (knowing it wouldn't work) just so I could get my TRE info to contact them. The last time I made a return without a receipt at Home Depot was years ago and now I'm stuck with over $300 worth of plumbing items I can't even exchange and they're not the kind of things that will easily sell on Craigslist or eBay.

I'm done with the Home Depot. They've gone downhill in many ways over the past 2 decades but this was the last straw. I don't want my personal info going to some 3rd party company and their return policy is a joke. I've spent over half a million dollars at this store but won't give then another penny. I'm going to be giving my business to local, small hardware stores like I should have been doing all along. Yes, it'll take me a bit out of my way and I'll pay a penny or two more but I don't care.

I should NOT have to show my id to a cashier for any reason once the store credit has been verified by the Service Desk. It is my money to do with as I please. I couldn't even send my Step son in to pick up some items when I was in the middle of a fencing project. This is absolutely RIDICULOUS. I use a Gift Card, it should be returned as a Girft card and not store credit. BUT where else am I going to use store credit?????
If they would clear the isles, turn on some lights, train their employees what to look for, thefts wouldn't be as bad.

Home depot superstore union nj would not take back $2000 of special order windows even with their 15% restocking fee, and they insisted this policy was stated on my purchase paperwork... My stapled paperwork did not have that sheet and they could not produce a copy and their regular complete return police was on the desk where we ordered the windows. Then they conceded saying they would honor their policy if we bought the same windows there at a higher price. It took me almost 3 hours in that store and I was unable to return the windows.

Hone Depot sold ne $2500 worrh of LED light bulbs that were fraudulently labeled as 1200 lumens on each packaging box. I discovered the bulbs are marked 1104 lumens. Home Depot thinks they can sell you goods tgat are fraudulently labeled and if you dobn't catch it within 90 days you are out of luck. Wrong. Ca state law gives a 3 year statute of limitations for fraud and even that does not start until you know about or reasonably should have discovered the fraud.I gave the wvery oportunity to refund me and they refuse and ckaim I should pursue the manufacturer. I will besuing for triple punitive plus actual damages.

To all that Purchase at Home Depot. They have a new Return Policy that is corporate wide. The item will be refunded to the way it was funded for purchase EXCEPT when using a gift card. When you return an Item and receive store credit, as I always do, with a receipt. They ask for your driver's license at the service desk so they can register that store credit to your name. Then, when you use that store credit at checkout they will ask you for your ID to verify it is yours.
Does this not sound like BS???
What if I send that card to one of my Step Children that do not have the same last name as me?
What if I give it to a friend to pick up something for me?
What if I donated it to an organization to do with what they want?
How about you people that have to drive a long distance for items? Are they going to deny you the use of that store credit to your family or friend because the names don't match and that they already have the money for and can only be spent in a Home Depot store?
Not to mention that they are inputting even more information into their computer system that had a data breach just 2 yrs ago.
I feel that once the service desk has verified you have the original receipt the store credit is yours to do with what you want. I don't feel that everyone in the store has the right to ask for your ID to purchase an item.
Let me know your thoughts.

Aometimes, no problem returning an item. Usually, I have the receipt ot it is on my charge card. Recently, things changed. Returned a vacuum under warranty. They issued store credit, which I expected. What I do not like is them requiring my drivers license number. I have the item, the receipt and the credit card from which it was purchased getting tired of stores requiring personal information when I have my receipt in hand and the original mode of payment.
Used the store credit to buy two fruit trees. When I went to plant (3 days after purchase) noticed canker. They would not take it back. I had to drive 60 miles out of my way to return the tree to a different HD. What's that all about?
HD now requires legal ID to purchase with store credit. Only thw peraon to whom the store credit was issued can use tgw atore credit AND you have to present your ID in order to use the store credit.

When I called corporate what the idiot did was ring up the item and void it. To h up the item and void it several times. After they emailed me the activity report I was fuming. I called back the store and have them a Peice of my mind. Oh and by the way I'm not done yet. They don't have a clue while they beleive that they are protecting Home Depot, from whatever. They need to know that Home Depot does not give a RAT them and would fire them so quick it would make their head spin. They r full of it. I agree

Very dumb of me to do and should have used my points credit card. April 28th 2017 I stopped shipment and was refunded the frig to my HD CC which is $1,700. I cannot get gift cards or cash or squat. Just credit in store. What a bunch of BS. I am stuck like chuck. Anyway I guess I will have to pick out another frig at HD.

Bought three piece shower walls April 8, 2017, paying for it with a check. plumber said wrong size so called April 16, 2017 to customer service explained bought with check and was told no problem just bring it in. Loaded it, 60" so hard to load and needed no rain as it would not fit in truck box. Brought it into return desk and was told we could not return until April 18, 2017 as Home Depot had their machines set to not return money from a check for 10 days. Stood there and checked to see if they had taken money out of my account and it was taken out on April 11, 2017. I looked at return policies and do not find it anyplace saying that. So in other words, Home Depot is using my money and not retuning it to me. Making nice interest on it. We have spent a lot of money remodeling five houses but will not be doing any more business with them.

I will not be shopping at Home Depot any longer.. I am big on diy and did most of my plumbing to install the high efficiency boiler. I ended up with lots of part that I no longer have a use and I lost most of the receipts. I returned few items and ended up with store credit. I purchased few items on the store credit and return them. While I return the items with the receipt I was asked to provide the drivers license. My refund was decline even though I have the receipt. Purchase was made with the store credit. This is the best ways to steer customers away from shopping g at Home Depot.

I run a construction company . We have miscellaneous returns. We put them in a box. When someone has the time they will make the return. There is no way to produce all of the receipts with 16 men working with out an office logistical nightmare. In the past we would receive store credit make our purchases and the cycle would repeat itself.I spend 6 figure money on materials. I was denied a return. No problem. I have now directed all of my employees to shop at Lowes exclusively. They process our returns with no issues.

I have always bought substantial product from HD. Recently I have been purchasing much higher than normal amounts on average 7-10k a month. Much of this is online. I purchased a $49.99 paint sprayer hose and decided that rather than just replace the hose, I needed to replace the entire paint sprayer. Never had a problem taking anything back without a receipt as long as it was for store credit. Took the hose up to the return desk and was denied a return. Spoke to a manager who was condescending and frankly made me feel as if I was trying to pull something unethical. I told him that HD is backwards thinking because the people who spend the most are more likely to have more returns. And that I was going home and returning everything that was unused. It took them 4 hours to process everything we are well into 5 digits and that's not including 2 full kitchens I'm cancelling. All over a $49 return they refused.

The manager was surprised by the first truck load. He was even more surprised by the second truck load. I won't do business with these people any longer. They can whine and complain all they want to but if they try to impugn the integrity of people who are spending serious money at their stores then they can choke on these returns. And by the way. After some digging, which I frankly shouldn't have had to do, I found the receipt for the hose too and made them refund that as well.

In Las Vegas, the Home Depot stores have changed their store credit policy again back on Nov, 14, 2016�any store credits issued for merchandise returned WITHOUT A RECEIPT will have your name 'attached' to the card..for example, when you make the return, with no receipt, the clerk will still take your I.D. to see if you are eligible to even make the return because you have no receipt (TRE SYSTEM)..If computer doesn't deny you the return then the clerk will enter your name into the computer which will in turn attache YOUR NAME to the store credit..making that store credit 'NON TRANSFERABLE'..

Long story short..only YOU, the person that returned the no receipt item CAN USE the store credit..cannot sell on street, send to family or friends, pay landlord for back rent, etc.

Has anyone else experienced this new policy..when you go to use STORE CREDIT at the checkout after you scan store credit and enter in four number pin on back of card you then will BE ASKED TO SHOW YOUR I.D. and if name doesn't match what's showing on screen then they will NOT let you use the store credit..only the person who's name is attached to it.

Customer satisfaction is the most important thing to consumers. Stores that piss off their shoppers aren't very smart. From the day Kmart and Sears stopped allowing No Receipt returns their profits fell fast. They dug there own grave. What Home Depot doesn't realize is their new return policy limits are not stopping theives at all actually just the opposite making them worse. The problem is the way HD is handling this. All they need to do is be upfront with customers about when their returns policy changes clearly state the amount of no receipt returns allowed with the time frame. Theives definitely are a nightmare for any business but what's even worse is having a bunch of pissed of theives. That's down right catastrophic.

After spending close to 6grand at Home Depot on our kitchen remodel we attempted to return an electric stove still in the box and within the 90 days and at firat the asst manager said she wouldn't take it back, then after an employee verified it was in it's box she said she would take back but charge us 15% restocking fee. Mind you we were wanting to exchange for one that cost 100 dollars more! What a crock of crap and she would not come to the atore front to speak with us. Dis it all thru an employee. So disappointed in this store on Wetmore and Oracle, Tucson AZ

Just like everyone else commenting on this, I went to exchange a few pipes and fittings for my boss that we had leftover from a kitchen remodel job we had just finished.I personally have never returned ANYTHING to home Depot, no receipt because they said we could get merchandise credit which we would have used to get more materials for our next job. And yes you guessed it, denied and given a phone number for some tre company that gave me no explanation of why I was denied.WTF? Home depot sucks donkey cock, this new policy they have is not going to prevent theft, it's just going to steer customers to other stores, we have many more things we need to worry about than finding old receipts, makes no sense

To the fella who was banned. I as well was banned, however it was through Walmart. Company's such as walmart, home depot hire these return tracking companys. So whatever you return goes under the account they created for you. If you return say three items to Walmart and one hd, you have gone over your limit. I was banned for a year. Just information for you guys . They don't put the return with the company it's all wrapped up as one. HD and Walmart are the only two I can remember , but there is a lot of them using this return monitoring companys.

I know someone that was denied a return and manager was rude even though the person had receipt so you know what the person did?? The very thing that Home Depot denied his return for... it's been 7 weeks now and his been hitting Home Depot store all over the county and over stealing things like building materials. Tiles. Making sure to stay under $500 then goes to the parking lot and offers $50 to the very people looking waiting for jobs outside Home Depot to return item using their id or meixcan passport. 7 weeks every other day dude is getting $400-$500 store credit from Home Depot that he sells for 75% on Craigslist. Good job Home Depot for pissing a customer off. FYI he got enough money for bail just incase he gets cauught if he gets caught!!

Never buy any gas powered equipment from HomeDepot, they have a hidden fineprint return policy where you could return it only within 30 days. If it's over 30 days then you have to get that item fixed and they will charge you around $20 dollars (may be refundable) to send the product for repair and it could cost you more if your issue is not covered under warranty. Fixes could take over four weeks, So If you are in middle of a project than have to wait until your item is back. So NEVER BUY ANY GAS POWERED ITEM FROM HOMEDEPOT.

We purchased a Samsung high end washer and dryer from HD...The performance was/is pathetic.We have no children so our stains are limited to minor issues.We have to presoak, use stain spray and still have to double wash many items.The dryer has issues as well and takes up to 115-120 mi utes to dry moderate loads. The appliances were installed on September 8,2016..We went back to the store on Sept 27.Full receipts written out documentation of what we were expericing and what we had tried to remedy, as we had originally thought we just need ed to learn how to max performance on the new units.We were unceremoniously told we only had 48 hours to report a problem.The basically threw a hand written phone number to us and said GE handle all their complaints after 48 hours.We ask could the store help us in anyway to get assistance.We were told was our issue and no one T HD at any level was authorized to speak on our behalf because it was now confidential between us and Samsung..!!! I callwed the number spent 20 minutes on hold, 30 minutes explaining to a phone rep after getting to someone.Iwas promised a few hour callback...36 hours later still no call.

We will never even buy a paint brush from HD AGAIN DUE TO what we believe to be deceptive warranty,certainly no transparency on what their service or return policies are.We were not requesting a refund but only units that performed or a service rep. WE GOT NO HELP ON EITHER FROM THE HD STORE.

If anyone is considering an appliance purchase from HD, I would reconsider or at the very least get a formal signed warranty/return policy with a store manager level signature.

I GOT BANNED EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECEIPTS FOR EVERY SINGLE ITEM because, as I found out, HD has a secret numerical limit on the number of returns that can be made in a given time period EVEN IF YOU HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EACH ITEM. HD intentionally fails to disclose this part of its return policy.

I was returning items (in their original packaging) I had purchased using a debit or credit card and I had spent hours the day before obsessing that everything I was returning I had a matching receipt, going so far as to attach a Post-It note to each item indicating which receipt it was on--what could possibly go wrong?

When my turn came at the return desk I politely told the Return Cashier I had receipts for everything so she could easily match each item to its corresponding receipt. She refused the receipts saying she wanted to look the items up by having me scan in the debit card(s) and/or credit card(s) used to purchase the items. If that made it easier for her, I saw no problem in that. I scanned in the applicable cards and she started matching up the items but every once and while, the system reported to her that an item that wasn't on a certain receipt even though it was in fact on that receipt.

That was okay, she said, as she would just set these items aside and process them separately after finishing the return for the items the system did match up via my swiping my debit/credit cards. We ended up with 24 items the look up via debit/credit card swipe method claimed were not on a receipt (even though they were).

When the Return Cashier tried to process these 24 items, the system spit out the message that I had been banned for 90 days from any more returns because I was supposedly trying to return items without a receipt. Dumbfounded, I asked the Return Cashier how was that possible given that the Return Cashier acknowledged that those items were in fact on the receipts she was holding in her hands! She shrugged her shoulders saying that there was nothing she could do and my only recourse at that point was to call The Retail Equation (who I had never heard of before), the outside company HD used to monitor and apply HD's return policy rules.

I immediately called Home Depot corporate who immediately admitted there's a flaw in their system when the Return Cashier used the swiping of my debit/credit cards method to match up receipts-some of the items that are in fact on the receipts will not show up. More disturbingly, once I was banned by The Retail Equation, there was nothing the store manager or Home Depot Corporate could do even though Home Depot tells The Retail Equation the rules to follow in deciding whether to accept a return.

Here's a neat trick: Given that Home Depot's policy is that returns after 90 days from purchase will only be store credit, when the ban is lifted, it will be too late for me to get a monetary credit on my debit/credit cards for items that I had receipts for and tried to return within the 90 day period!

HD intentionally and knowingly fails to disclose to the public that there is a secret numerical limit on the number of returns that can be made in a given time period EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE RECEIPTS.

Here in Texas, this failure to disclose is a violation of the Texas' Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (a violation occurs if a merchant is caught "failing to disclose information concerning goods or services which was known at the time of the transaction if such failure to disclose such information was intended to induce the consumer into a transaction into which the consumer would not have entered had the information been disclosed").

Had I known there was a numerical limit on the number of returns in a given time period, I would have shopped completely different (as in, done more shopping at Lowe's or spread out the shopping I did at Home Depot). I will be filing a complaint with the Texas Attorney General and request Home Depot be investigated because it knew or should have known that failing to disclose there's a limit on the number of returns in a given time period would affect a consumer's decision to shop at Home Depot.

They rang everything in computer asked for my license and then denied me. I have spent a lot of money with hd. And I have never returned anything. I think it is crazy how they treat their customers.

I just did a return without a receipt and the return guy told me he could give me my money back if I give him the debit card I paid with so I gave him my ID and debit card and he gave me a receipt saying It processed...then proceeded to buy the correct size of copper fittings for some plumbing work...I did this the very same day right after returning the wrong sizes we bought.... So here I sit waiting for the $47.00 credit to hit my bank account.... If they try to tell me some BS and not return the money and I bought the same items just different sizes the same day as my return... Smh....
Still waiting....
I dont see what the problem is since your return policy is out of fear of theft but if I was a theif why would I buy the very same product just different size??
Idk...sounds like some lawsuits need to take place especially for contractors that spend big money at these stores...
(no im not saying my $47 is a big purchase im speaking of others contractor's getting screwed)

I've never seen much difference between Lowes and HD. They both sell the same type merchandise at about the same price. Costumer assistance In store, which is much need in this type store, and is a necessity, is also equal in my opinion. So, if for a any reason your not satisfied with HD policy concerning returns or any other problems go to Lowes, It called competition and the company that treats its customers better will usually be the survivor in the long run. It's also called Capitalism and the better competitor wins 99.9% of the time. A good example is Sears and how their poor business policies have all but put this once great retailer out of business. It's safe to also point out that the attitude of Sears employees today seems to match that of HD employees expressed here in this forum.

If anyone who has complained is monitoring this feed, please e-mail me with your story of getting flagged for returns from Home Depot. My e-mail . Just place Home Depot on the subject line. We have just the opposite story. As you can see Home Depot has a very strict policy on returns. You will all be surprised to know that over a 17 month period they allowed an employee who was a heroin addict (obviously now ex-employee, no idea he was a heroin addict) return material he consistently stole from us worth over $30,000 WITHOUT A RECEIPT AND WITHOUT EVER GETTING FLAGGED! Lawsuit presently filed against Home Depot and the others involved. They are, of course, denying any wrongdoing.

I went to Home Depot to purchase Ralph Lauren leather paint. I brought the paint sample book to the counter to have the paint mixed. The book clearly states base paint semi gloss and second coat glaze. When the paint was applied it was translucent. After seveal coats of painting, I looked over the cans and realized they had incorrectly mixed the paint. They gave me two different cans of glazed. An expensive mistake. Between the price of the paint and the expense of the contractor. I call the paint department and the clerk stated that there isn't any paint that is leather by Ralph Lauren.

Home Depot is denying me of returns even when I have receipts for my purchases! I had two major renovations over the last year and for those who had renovations done, you know that you have to buy more than you need instead of running to the stores every now and then. So when this is done, I'm trying to return extra tiles and unopened items, but even with receipts and within 90 days bought, I can't return my items because I bought them with store credits. Home Depot needs to look into this new system they have. Why are they letting people buy with store credits but denying their return? They should just tell me upfront when I pay with my store credits that I may be flagged or denied returns!!

I had to return a LED bulb worth $51. i went to the store to return with the recipt but the return was declined with the reason that i used store credit on that purchase. But HD policy states such returns will be refunded with store credit. I went again with your policy printout but the return got denied again. HD has the worst customer service. I need my money back but HD is stealing my hard earned money by refusing to refund. For over 10 yrs i used to buy household stuffs from HD but now HD is going to lose a loyal customer with this bad experience!! HOME DEPOT DUCKS!!

Truly FRUSTRATED & AGGRIVATED!!! I have been a steady Home Depot credit customers for about 12 years now. I went into my local HD 2 days ago and made some purchases totaling 470 bucks. Unfortunately the power washer I purchased must have been restocked because the nozzle was not spraying correctly & I purchased the wrong paint rollers for cement & some unnecessary etch for cement as well. I went into Home Depot with my receipt to ONLY return the items that I didn't need & WAS DENIED. They proceed to tell me that because I used an old (about 8 months old) stupid store credit for 8 BUCKS that had been collecting dust in my purse THAT I COULDNT get my cash back. WTF!!! Items were purchased within a 2 day period, hadn't been opened (not counting power washer) & HAD MY RECEIPT. Now remember my original purchase was $470 I was only trying to return items totaling $160 SO that stupid 8 dollar credit could've came off any of the other $310 worth of merchandise that I still had at home. And NO I have not made astronomical amount of returns. My returns have been small items in the past. They give me 3rd party phone number to call and speak to and they tell me I can appeal rejection but that will take 30 days. THEN I HAD TO LUG ALL return items back to house & speak to these idiots. So now I have decided to close my Home Depot account & I will bring my business elsewhere.

I actually work at Home depot as a P/t employee for the last 13 years. Tried to return some light bulbs that were the wrong color and was denied the first time without a receipt, although I didn't want a refund per say just exchange for correct color. Was told by manager to go back to returns line with a receipt, which I did have and after waiting another ten minutes was denied again . My purchase was around 15 days old. I left the store and awaiting someone to call me after they look into it. I had never heard of this before and was completely caught off guard.

I can tell you that The Home Depot does not allow returns on items for which you do not have a receipt. Someone brought me two packs of Bosch blades to use on my Dremel oscillating tool. Of course, Bosch blades do not work on Dremel so I brought the unopened package back to the HD to exchange for the correct blades. Keep in mind that I have been renovating an abandoned house since October of 2015 and have spent THOUSANDS in the HD. The clerk asked for my DL. She typed in my number, and my refund was declined. She tried it three more times with the same result. She gave me a number to call when I got home. I called the number and reached a third party vendor. Turns out, they track non-receipt returns. It was my first, but I am now in their database. Not cool. If you try to return an item without a receipt and they ask for your license do not give it to them or risk being put in their database. I wish I had a Lowe's closer to my house so I could give them my business.

HDFORLIFE - If you really do work for Home Depot, which I doubt you do, You need to be fired.
You have zero customer service skills based on your previous abusive posting. Contractors Pro sales alone were over 35% of your sales revenues in 2015. That does't even count the contractors and tradesmen not using managed accounts.

nobodyhasthisyet - Excellent suggestions and response. The only thing I think you are missing is that the PRO-Xtra app does not work as intended. Either that, or none of your customer service reps know how to look up sales and items.

My receipts average over 100 per quarter. Yes I do buy more than what I need as going on jobs, I don't know what models the customer has. Making a trip to return one $5 item is not time effective, so I have a return bin that makes it to Home Depot once per quarter. To pick through hundreds of receipts to find the few items is an unreasonable expectation. The pro app is supposed to track the receipts and items, but does not work correctly. Period. It needs to be worked on and made reliable.

All you people talking your B.S. about losing your receipts for things you bought and then being denied a refund or exchange are truly full of it. First, if you are so unorganized and are not capable of holding on to a receipt, especially if it is a high dollar item you purchased, then you are truly a moron. But we will give you the benefit of a doubt, and more times than not, will issue a store credit for items returned, however, you should know that you will be asked to provide a drivers license to receive that credit, no license, oh well sorry no credit or return. But if you do have it then take your store credit and go on you happy way, just understand you are now placed in a database of customers that habitually return merchandise with no receipts.

After doing this a few times you might think you outsmarted us, but no you haven't. You have only managed to get yourself on a company wide ban from returning anything without a receipt. So you contractors, upset customers returning things day in day out without proof of purchase, we all know who you are, go ahead and piss about how you are going to go to Lowe's Ace, or any of the other places. Go ahead and tell us how much money you spend at HD and how were no longer gonna get that, go ahead and take your money to the competition and tell us were not gonna stay in business long. But do one thing when you get home, look up Home Depot's current stock price and compare it with the competition, Lets see, today May 5, 2016 Home Depot stock is at $134.67 and our competition is at $75.14. So if stock prices have anything to do with customer satisfaction and over all value of a company worth in the market, then it goes to show that those who feel that our business cannot survive without them because they got mad and went else where because we refuse to allow fraudulent returns and refunds are obviously stupid to begin with and should just go to the other places and maybe steal from them. Because I have spent close to 20 years investing in my company and can not stand people who think they can continue to steal and or cheat the system and think they are right. Its pretty simple people, you buy something and you paid for it, hold on to your receipt. If not oh well Lowe's Blows, and its just down or around the street.

I work as a Returns Cashier at The Home Depot. While I understand the customers' frustrations when their returns are denied, we have to be firm about our return policy. We do have many people who abuse our return policy, either by stealing expensive items and returning them for store credit, or by using items and bringing them back for a full refund, basically getting a free rental.

As for the General Contractors who buy more items than they need, in the hopes of returning the items without a receipt, well now they have the thieves (who ruined it for everyone else) to thank if their returns get denied. Fortunately, there are solutions for contractors to make returns easier and less likely to be denied.

The simplest solution for contractors is: don't lose your receipts! I understand accidents happen, receipts get misplaced, or receipts start piling up and you're having trouble keeping track of which receipts are for which items. I understand you may have to give the receipt to customers and you don't get the receipt back. It's still your responsibility to be accountable for your receipts.

Most stores need proof of purchase for several reasons. The store needs proof that the item was actually purchased through their company and not some other company. Believe it or not, barcodes on items are universal and you can have the same barcodes on the same items at different stores from different companies. But if The Home Depot becomes the dumping ground for all these other store's products, the Home Depot isn't making any profit returning an item at full retail price that they didn't sell to you in the first place.

Another reason stores need proof of purchase, is they need to know how much YOU actually paid for the item. Sometimes items go on sale, or maybe you got a special discount because the item was damaged or on clearance, or maybe you got a military discount. Whatever the reason, if you don't provide proof of how much you paid for the item, the store can only assume that you may have possibly paid the lowest selling price for the item. Is it fair? Maybe not. But it's definitely not fair for a customer to buy one, get one free and then return the free one without a receipt for a full refund onto a store credit. This is another example of people abusing return policies and then ruining it for everyone else.

Which leads me to the most important reason stores require proof of purchase. You need to prove it wasn't stolen. I know it's not fair if you didn't steal it, but this is why we give you receipts. This is why the DMV requires your vehicle to have a title, registration and license plate. It's all to prove that you own the item legally. It's a shame that so many criminals have caused the world to be like this, but this is the world we live in, and everyone has to follow the same rules. There are no exceptions to the rules.

So if you're a contractor and it's become a burden to provide proof of purchase for all of your items, here are a few simple solutions:

1. Use your phone to take pictures of your receipts as soon as you get them. Now you have a copy of your receipt that you can take with you anywhere and access any time you want. Most stores will accept photos of receipts, as long as the receipt is valid.

2. Stay organized. Keep your receipts somewhere safe and file them in a filing cabinet that's organized by date.

3. Don't pay cash for something you know you might return. This may not be the most practical option for those who prefer to pay with cash, but this can make things easier in the long run. Pay with a debit card or credit card, and The Home Depot will keep the transaction in their database for 3 to 6 months. If you lose the original receipt, it's not a problem. The Home Depot can quickly and easily access your receipt based on your card info and you can make the return with no hassle. For debit cards, The Home Depot can refund the money to your debit card, give you cash, or give you store credit. It's your choice. For credit cards, The Home Depot can refund the money to your credit card or give you store credit. It's up to you. If you make a purchase on a card and we are able to find your receipt with your card info, but the receipt is older than 3 months, we can give you store credit with guaranteed approval.

4. Sign up for Pro Xtra, which is a rewards program designed for contractors who spend a lot of money at The Home Depot. Pro Xtra offers many benefits, such as everyday discounts on paint products, mega discount coupons received in the mail, and purchase tracking. The purchase tracking is the best part of Pro Xtra when it comes time to make returns. If you're paying with cash, and you're worried you might lose your receipt, tell the cashier your phone number at the time of purchase, and we will add your receipt to your Pro Xtra account where it can be tracked for up to two years. If you forget to tell the cashier your phone number at the time of purchase, but you still have the receipt, a customer service associate can still add the receipt to your Pro Xtra account for you. If you would prefer to add the receipt to your account on your own, you can do so by using your smartphone to snap a pic of the receipt and it will upload to your Pro Xtra account via the Pro Xtra App, or you can go online and type in your receipt info and add it to your account. Even if you lose the receipt, you can still have a manager find the receipt in the system as long as you remember the time, date, and location of your purchase, and the manager can add the receipt to your Pro Xtra account. A new benefit that has recently been rolled out is we now give customers the ability to link their credit/debit cards to their Pro Xrra account. Customers who pay with a card that is linked to their Pro Xtra account no longer have to tell the cashier their phone number for every purchase. The Home Depot is always finding ways to make shopping easier for contractors.

5. Apply for a Home Depot Credit Card, and all purchases made with a Home Depot Card have a one-year return policy, no receipt needed. Don't have your Home Depot card with you? No problem. Whether you're making a purchase or a return, we can look up your account with your ID and SSN. We can return most new, unopened, defective, or unsatisfactory items within a year of purchase if it was made with a Home Depot card. We can process the return three ways. We can scan your receipt, look up the transaction by sliding your Home Depot card, or use your ID and SSN to look up the transaction on your Home Depot Card. Purchases made with The Home Depot card can only be returned to The Home Depot card. This means we cannot give you cash or store credit for purchases made with The Home Depot card. This is to prevent people from using The Home Depot card for unauthorized cash advances and gift card fraud.

In conclusion, The Home Depot actually has a more lenient return policy than some other places, and there are many ways to prevent your returns from being denied. We want our customers to be happy, but we also have to protect our assets, and we strive to create a balance between customer service and loss prevention.

WOW! Here I sit with a 6 dollar box of 1 1/2 " U-Staples I bought just three days ago - I WAS going to take them back (tossed the receipt out) for an EXCHANGE - right size is 3/4". After reading all these post - I'll just run over to Rocky's Ace Hardware (or Lowe's - which is closer than HD any how). Holy COW... when did they get so HIGH & MIGHTY? pfft. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVERYTHING - I'll just put the 1 1/2" ones on a shelf and call it a day. Home Depot - YOU just lost a ton of my money as I am REMODELING my Kitchen & BATHROOM This summer. Too bad.

I bought an air filter on friday , was the wrong sizes paid cash along with other itens. Returned back on sunday morning less than two days later. Informed the return individual that I did onlyneeded to exchange for another size. She asked me for ID provided it. I tokd her look the filter are there about 10 feet away, went got the correct size. There was no difference on price 10.97. She told me that with out a receipt she will only give me 5.00 store credit on a card. That is outrageous a 5.97 loss for me and gain for the Home Depot corporation, it is not the amount is the principal multiply this by 1000 in a daily basis. You guys make a killing of the hard working customers, remember I just wanted an exchage not a refund. Terrible policy, terrible customrs appreciation. I finally got my filter with the managers warning that she will not accommodate me again. I have a credit card with Home Depot spent plenty of money. Not no more will go to the competition first willing to pay more than to be treated the way I did. Poor customer service, the way i was treated.

Home Depot has no knowledge whatsoever.I asked for advice on best joint compound to buy,the compound did not dry overnight, I went in the next day and complained another employee gave me a different product causing me to overspend. This scenario has been repeated previously. I hate Home depot every single person who works there are a bunch of dishonest idiots.

I had my shed rewired and bough too many breakers to make sure i had enough and to avoid unnecessary trips to town. I thought i could return the extras later. (Buying more than you think you need makes economic sense both for the contractor and the supplier if you have a reasonable returns policy.) I was wrong. HD refused $83.06 worth of returns because i didn't have a receipt and they were a "high theft item". I was going to spend that money immediately at HD. But now that they refused me and effectively told me i stole the breakers things are different. The poor manager couldn't even look me in the eye.

Because of the refusal:
I will never over-buy,
I will never use HD when other stores are available,
HD missed out on that days purchase,
Unused items sit in the basement gathering dust.
NO ONE WINS

I had the worst return experience at the Home depot in city of Industry this morning. The employee called the manager and the manager stood not even 10 ft or more away from the ladder I was returning and said "we can't re sell that" pointed to her return policy and said read it and have a nice day. Then had the audacity to call the next home depot down the way and told them to deny us as well. Well little do they know we are preferred customers for 15 years or more and we own our own construction company for 20 years. They treated us like crack heads but they will soon realize they screwed up when we come with the proper enforcement. Home Depot loyalty has been going down hill . Anyone is getting hired now. Watch who you hire. The manager of the store said she didn't even know about the incident. So if I asked to speak to a manager and the manager said she knew nothing then who the hell did I speak with.

I went to home depot just a little bit ago to return a paint sprayer that stopped working and I used a debit card to pay for it and they've already gotten their money because it was purchased on 2/09/2016, but the only way to get the money back was to put it back on the debit card which would take 10 budiness days at least or to get a store credit. Why would I want a store credit for a product that stopped working? I won't shop there anymore unless Lowe's doesn't carry the product I Need because Lowe's gives a refund without a problem. What it is home depot makes money off people using debit and credit cards.

Everyone should be aware that the stock/shareholders of this company are totally dishonest, and their only only concern is making money...... Period! They have a very high employee turnover. Which means, not only are they out to take advantage of us, the consumers and buyers, they really never have their employees best interest in mind. I have first hand knowledge of how Home Depot and their endless chain of store started. I was employed many years ago by one of the actual Co-Founders of the Home Depot Chain. Not as an employee of the Home Depot itself, but by that Co-Founder, after he purchased a (Southern California residential lighting manufacturing company). The man I worked for was a wonderful person, he recognized personal values, and was a man of great consideration when it came to his customers and his employees. I have to say he was the kind of person I would have worked for until I died or became unable to perform my job duties. Bernie whatever his name is, and a few select others I will not mention (the men who have tried to take all the credit for "Home Depot" and whatever success they think they have) are out to take advantage of the Vendors who's products they market. As well as the consumers they sell to. I have knowledge of how stock holders in this Home Depot company will intentionally acquire a failing company that manufactures a product that Home Depot stores carry. With the sole intention of selling only to Home Depot. Then Home Depot advertises and markets that product as "their Special Vendor product" available only at Home Depot. Ha! What better way to make money, than to be your best AND only customer. Basically running the owner/s of a typical struggling U.S. Company right out of the game. Now I have experienced this new bull crud policy of not accepting returns without a receipt. And on top of that, they are quietly insinuating that you have, either abused returns to their stores, saying you used it and now don't really need it anymore, or are they saying you somehow managed to get an item as large as a small child into your pocket/purse and really just stole they item to return it and get some cash. DUMB STUPID IDIOTS. They never even give you cash unless you have a receipt, they just put it onto a gift card. Poor Old "Home Base" gone are those days. But now us Californians have Lowe's, and from what I understand Lowe's and Home Depot try not to carry common vendor's merchandise. Another way for Home Depot to get to the little guys......Maybe Lowe's can save them from the Monopoly that is the "Home Depot"

Get real.
Who returns that much stuff? What sort of unstableness causes anyone to buy 110 different occasions...things they don't want, or are wrong for the job.
Sorry, but that is absurd.
The solution is simple: Stop the insane purchasing of things you don't want....and/or, simply keep your receipts!!

None of this would have happened if you saved your receipts... think you might have learned that by about the 100th return. :/

Wish I had read this blog earlier. I bought two outside wall mount lanterns. The photo cell did not work because there was a roof overhang above the wall. Customer service told me that the overhang prevented the light from turning off in the morning. I tried to return them with the purchase receipt (within 10 days) and the return was denied. As others have said, there was a $2.83 store credit along with $90 charged to my VISA. With the 90 day lock-out, the lanterns will be outside the return period. Nice catch 22.

The return history went all the way back to 2011 and showed about 110 returns, mostly with receipts. That amounts to 22 items returned per year over 5 years. Boy, I must be a real active shop-lifter or return abuser! My previous philosophy was to buy several items to complete the job and return the unused items. If I only bought what I thought I needed to do the job, inevitably I would have to spend unprofitable time to return and buy another part. How to lose money because of HD's third party analysis company.

Yes, no more HD! There is a new Lowe's going in about 5 miles away. Can't wait. If there is a class action, I would be willing to join it.

Its unethical and totally disrespecting to the honest customers and faithful citizens of this nation.But justice will prevail eventually,cause it always does! After taking my merchandise and mixing it with other returns they give me back 80% of my items and kept the rest, so now we got another problem and i got the receipt to prove it! Lets do this! Im getting mines back.

Bought some laminate flooring from HD. When we tried to install it it was difficult to work with and didn't lock together nicely. Bought some from a different store and took the unopened boxes back. They won't return my money, only give in store credit because I wrote a check. What's the difference they got my money? If I pay by credit or debit they return your money. I don't need anything else there and want MY money back. I am also done with this store. Menards works for me.

As a majority of the comments are stating not to shop at Home Depot they are correct. For the past 2 months, I am trying to get my $53.00 back. It is supposedly has to do with store credit and bank card. Either way it is ridiculous that you have to jump through hoops to return an item that is not opened, provide your Driver's license, credit card, etc. and still no return or a credit. Also as store manager does not have authorization to override that minimal amount. I will continue to provide negative feedback and promote Lowes over Home Depot anytime. I will no longer shop there. I am penalized for returning an item cause I have returned an item in the past. The question is how much of a kickback does their third party (TRE)receive, by blocking returns and not issuing a refund?????

How about a positive note? I had purchased some LED Retrofit lights from them that is made by one of their sub-companies (Commercial Electric) and they had sent me a previous revision that didn't have the retention blades need for my recessed lighting. More than 6 months had gone by until I noticed because these were for new construction and home depot not only took them back, but gave me Cree lighting at the same price due to the documentation on the HD website being for the newer revision light even though they had sent me the previous revision. I also had an issue with a 60" vanity cabinet that was shipped to the store damaged 3 times. On the fourth reorder, they offered to ship it to my home via Estes shipping, pad it extra well and refunded all of my money for the inconvenience. I have gone to HD for quite a bit of stuff including the 51 gallons of paint that we needed and have received no issues whatsoever. Lowes local CS ridiculed me (behind my back) for being a weekend warrior who ordered everything online to be picked up in the store. Sorry, but thats your job and you should be happy to do it. Just glad that I have a friend who works there that stood up for me when she ran her mouth about me.

Today I went into HD to return something. It was new and in the package, unused. It was past the 90 days but I had my receipt and they were going to give me store credit, no problem. They scanned my receipt and ran my driver's lic. and my return was declined and it had nothing to do with being past the 90 days. I'm not a chronic returner as the CS rep at HD thought could be the problem. I called the # on the slip of paper I was given. The rep for TRE said I was denied because I had paid with a store credit or cash. I looked at my receipt and told her I most definitely did not and that it clearly shows I paid with my debit card for the entire purchase. She then told me to talk to a manager to over ride it. I went back to the returns desk and explained what I was told. They told me that once I was denied by this third party, there is nothing they could do and I had to take it up with TRE. So my receipt was flagged wrongly for whatever reason and no one I could talk to in person could help me. As a result of this glitch, now I know about their sneaky return policy. They need to advertise that if you pay with store credit you won't be able to return the product regardless of the reason. Other stores won't give you cash back if you paid with a gift card or store credit but they will give you money back in the form of store credit. This is a terrible policy. I will consider HD last from now on and that will be after all my other options are exhausted. I'll be getting my RAR report from TRE. Not sure what my options are. I'll probably count my losses and warn everyone not to buy anything with store credit they think they might need to return. They can make up their own minds about if they want to shop there or not. Also, did you notice the TRE rep said I paid with store credit or CASH?! No one has posted anything here but now I am wondering if they limit returns for people who paid with cash. This is a class action waiting to happen. Good luck with that HD!

But same as many of this above comments. I did too got rejected, I had a receipt and still got denief. Just because some how my name and driver license number got flagged by a third party company.
Do not buy at home depot. Lowe's will take anything without a hassle.

Same as other people. I had a store credit of 6 dollars. I got this store credit, instead of a refund, because the credit card I had purchased the item with got changed and I did not think it was worth trying to locate the receipt, knowing I would spend those money anyway. I purchased over 100 dollars of things, and paid with the store credit AND with my credit card. Now I can't return some staples which won't fit my staple gun (value: 11 dollars), because part of the purchase was made with credit store. I was twice at the store, and they could not really explain, and I had to call the TSE number twice, and now I am waiting for one of their managers to call me back. Are they kidding? Why there is such a stupid policy? Plus, it does not seem the store people understands it either, which drives me really mad. I have never been warned this could happen. I will be giving no money to this company. I regret all the hundreds of dollars I spent there.

Lowes here come. Home Depot was our favorite store for many reasons. It is very local, they have semi-smart older contractors employed if you need them and mostly they have lower prices. I am GC that has been buying THOUSANDS of dollars each year at the HD. Receipts from daily purchases are put in folders for the job on a daily basis. We were working way up in the boonies so I purchased extra material to get the job done. Took back $22.00 of materials back to the store a few days later without receipt and as had happened many times in the past got the store credit which I immediately used to purchase more goods and wrote check for the difference in upgraded price. Same thing a few days later, didn't need extra stuff went to return WITH receipt and rejected. Seems like they should at least give new gift card to replace old one used if you have the receipt for the initial return. REDICULOUS

Chalk This Up As A Lesson Learned. Had A Receipt. The Total On The Receipt Was $51.75. Of That $51.75 We Used A Store Credit Of $1.73, The Remaining Balance Was Paid For By Using My Visa Card. Because I Used A Store Credit Of $1.73 I Was Somehow Flagged And Not Allowed To Return Any Of My Items Even Though I Had A Receipt And It Was Within 30 Days. I Will Never Buy Anything From Home Depot Again. I Will Make It My Mission To Spread The Word That Home Depot Is Using A Third Party Company To Deny Their Returns And That Their Return Policy Now States That "home Depot Reserves The Right To Limit/deny Returns." The Phone Person At The Retail Equation Said That Home Depot Can Deny Any Return For Any Reason At Any Time. This Is A Lawsuit In The Making. I Don't Know How Long Home Depot Will Be Able To Get Away With This Policy Before Someone Has The Time And Inclination To File A Lawsuit. All These "denied" Returns Add Up To Lots Of Revenue For Home Depot. Again, Let Me Repeat, I Had A Receipt, It Was Within 30 Days And Only $1.73 Was The Actual Store Credit . The Rest I Put On My Visa Card And My Entire Return Was Denied!

Problems with returns without a receipt?

They are now using a 3rd party software company for loss prevention. They will tell you "you have returned too many things in the last 60 days".... Impossible because you haven't?

It isn't you, it isn't your ID, it's the items themselves, so here's what you do. Have them return EACH item INDIVIDUALLY to figure out which ones are black-listing your return.

Yes it will take some time, but after all, they are paid hourly (or so I was told by the lovely gentleman that assisted me). If it takes enough time, perhaps they will get rid of that less than efficient algorithm that they claim they can't over-ride in store.

The recommendation from The Retail Equation (the rejectors) that I send "a hand written note" to HD Corporate seemed rather inflammatory. We can assume that would go directly into a black hole, or an industrial paper shredder..... Clearly, they care!

It was the "hand written" part that got me.... who says that!?

I own 2 businesses. I went to return a box of lag bolts for my 80+ year old father . I was declined for the return (I had the receipt). They were purchased on a store credit. I probably spend 15-20,000 per year at different Home Depots. No longer. They made me feel like I was trying to rip them off. I'm the type of person that will go back into the store if I find something that wasn't rung up. None of my employees will spend my money there anymore either. I think I should also sell my stock in Home Depot and maybe reinvest in another retailer.

I have exactly the same problem as many others have recently posted: bought some items for a project and paid part of the bill with a store credit. When I tried to return some UNOPENED and completely UNUSED items less than 7 days after my purchase that I ended not needing for my project, the return was denied.
Now I'm stuck with $110 worth of items that I have no use for. And the reason is because I used a $20 store credit issued by HD to pay for the items!!! Employees at HD state that its out of their control, and told me to call the number in the return rejection receipt. Got the same response from the 3rd party company. Unbelievable. Very frustrating.
BE VERY CAREFUL IF PLANNING TO RETURN ITEMS!! DO NOT PAY WITH STORE CREDIT!!
They have definitely lost me as a customer.

This was one of the worst customer service expieriences ever. I purchased a Milwaukee 12 volt ratchet wrench and asked ahead of time that if it did not have enough torque could I return it. They said I could return the item with my receipt no problem. When I purchased it part of my receipt was a in store gift card. When I came back to return the wrench they denied me saying that I could not return the item since I used in store gift card for part of the transaction. I had the receipt and everything but they still would not return it. I was within all there guidelines on there tool policy return. I only had the item a few days. So now I'm stuck with a tool that does not do what I was told by the tool coral guy at hone depot. This is a $100 item. I will never buy anything from homedepot again in my life. I've bought easily over $100,000 worth of items from them doing my remodel buisness. Now they can be sure that they lost another customer along with my friends and family. Idiots!!

Home Depot. Never again after this and reading up about this. This past weekend, I bought about $300 worth of items had to return one because it was obviously open boxes missing a few assessories. I even told the sales guy this box looks like it's been open what if there something is missing, he said you can return it no problem. I have all receipts for everything, returned it the same day at the same store and was denied (I learned) because I have a $10 store credit that I use to purchase those items. One of the guys even mentioned that was it. I even have a receipt for the $10 item that I returned. So my return was denied. I am currently dealing with TRE and waiting for a RAR (return activity report). From the looks of all these posts it looks that I am screwed. This policy is really idiotic! Scams are obvious and I get HD is trying to protect themselves. But even though I had receipts for everything (including the $10 credit), return the same day, same store it's still flagged as fraudulent over $10 credit I used to purchase these items. Just dumb and you will be "dumbmified" to shop here. Please let me know if anybody actually was successful in getting anything back or any other workarounds. My last resort is to contact my credit card company after I get everything in writing.

Two days back I made several trips to Home Depot to purchase roughly $1000 worth of LED lights, electrical parts, dimmers etc. When I went to return few items they accepted the return for Smart LED lights made by GE however they refused to accept return for LED fixtures by HALO ($49) and two electrical metal boxes ($2.50 & $2. I had receipts of purchase for all three items but still got rejected saying they are 3rd party items and Home Depot has no control over their decision.
I had one recessed light can for which I could not find a receipt but told them that it was bought in the weekend using same American Express card. I was told to call a TRE number and when you call the TRE number the customer service agent insists on getting $4.95 the shipping costs for some coupons etc. before connecting with her boss who would discuss why my returns got declined.
I researched on Google and find horrified to learn about Home Depot's new return policy. Come to think of for one of the purchases I did make a partial payment using up store credit and now wondering if this caused the decline for returns. My wife and I ended up arguing the possibility of wrong scanning of one item for which I did not have a receipt. Totally confused and frustrated.

My husband (and then me a few days later) tried to return approx. $55 worth of small items purchased on a store credit with current receipts. We have purchased thousands of dollars of material for our new log cabin. We have talked to our local HD manager, TRE (company Home Depot is using ), to no avail. Unless absolutely necessary we will never ever ever buy anything from Home Depot. The irony is when I was trying to return the items I was standing next to a huge sign saying how easy it is to return items to Home Depot.

Just had this happen to me 9/18/15. I am an avid DYI'er and do not live close to the store. So like many I do buy a lot just in case to save trips, then return the leftovers always in unused good condition and usually WITH receipt.
This policy is a big concern...... I might have to find a new favorite store...

Today, I went to HD and returned a few unused items with purchased receipt but got denied. CS said because I used partial payment as store credit, there was nothing they could do about it. They suggested to call this number I just called, basically their answer was nothing they could do either, either keep the items or dispute process.

I post this here hope everyone can gain from my experience, even if you use only 1 Cent as store credit with your $1000 purchase, you cannot return or you will be denied.

Went to HD to return 2 plumbing pieces ( $46 ) no receipt, return Denied after scanning DL. I purchase thousands of dollars annually at HD and usually return extra materials without receipt out of convenience. Nobody could tell me what triggered the Denial. It's embarassing and the clerk looks at you like you are a return abusing thief.

I think I have the solution. I'm going to DMV and getting a new DL with new DL number .

Returned some unused faucet cartridged today, 9.11.15 at home deppot and got denied. Items are in perfect unused unopened condition with a proper receipt worth about $150. They said because. I used a store credit for my purchases. Wife, went to another store with the same items but was also denied.
Next time, I'll be thinking twice before goinf to home depot.

Home Depot sucks! Today I had to returned to drill bits. When to returned the drill bits with original receipts. And was told that my returned was denied because I paid partial store credit that was $2.40. And the total for the drill bits was $65.00. So I recommend if you are going to returned anything at the homeDepot don't use store credit even if is just a cent or else your returned is going to get denied and they will give you that stupid denial slip for you to call. And the manager can't even over ride it.

@ Christina You're out to lunch!!! Why wouldn't a store require a receipt for a return even if it is only for credit. It's not their fault you lost it!! They need proof that the product wasn't stolen. Consumers views on what they feel they are entitled to is ridiculous!!! Most companies have very fair return policies and they treat the consumer very well. quit being a whiny "entitled" brat!!!

Your return policy requirments on needing a reciept to recieve a store credit is the most absured policy any store could have. I agree with needing a reciept to recieve cash back only if you paid cash. Your store should never require a reciept if a customer is returning an item and It was a gift and or damaged. Take consideration "WE" the customers are who keep your company profitable. So if I lost my reciept and cannot return and item well then I wont be returning again. As you can see from other customers comments, they to wont be returning until there is so many customers doing the same, youll be out of business soon. Extremely pathetic as a billion dollar co.

" HOME DIP STICK" HOME DEPOT HAS EARNED THIS NEW NAME! Today i tryed to teturn about $60.00 of materials and was denied. I had receipt and I.D. my return was done within 90 days policy explained on the receipt. Each month I buy so many materials from the store knowing most likely I'll be returning some. I would have no problem paying an extra fee for returning the items to the shelf. Back in the good ol days you were able to return without a receipt and get the store credit knowing that you were going to use that credit on another job, that was great. Now when I approach the cashier at the return Dept and hand over the receipts along with the merchandise to be returned I'll get look of disgust from the cashier. Ill think to myself, " well you guys are the ones that changed your return policy" so here is your receipts please help me with my return so I can purchase more materials for my job so Home Depot can write you a check for the work that you're doing. I am done with Home Depot the only reason why I've been shopping here is because of the convenience well it's not worth it anymore not to mention the majority of the materials/products have gotten worse over the years. Every time I purchase a prehung door I have to pull out the screws and hinges and re set them correctly. You can never order lumber without picking it yourself. 9 times out of 10 you're going to get a 2 x4 that looks like it was made specifically for a boat if you set the piece of wood on the ground it would be a half circle. Half of the shower valves are missing parts. Home Depot is all about themselves. Ganahl lumber is far superior to Home Depot. Dollar for dollar when you compare the price of Home Depots lumber to Ganahl it's almost the same but ganahl lumber is much much much much better Plus anything else you would purchase and ganahl lumber will be of better quality along with the service. Goodbye Home Depot I wish you luck and I hope you can improve.

The new HD return policy is REALLY REALLY BAD. I bought two faucets and a few metal pipes two weeks ago. Then I decided to not go with the project and all the items are intact. Today I tried to return all the items and the return was denied. After contacting the third-party company TRE (printed in the denial paper slip), I was told that the reason is that I used a store credit for the payment. If I use a credit card, there should not be such issue. Crazy!!! I still have $100 Home Depot store credit or gift card in total. That means I have to make sure whatever I purchase at Home Depot in the future with the $100 gift card will never be returned. I hate this policy. After using all my existing HD gift cards, I will never go back to HD again. Ridiculous!!!

New HD policy is terrible and this store will loose all customers one by one. I'm flipper and I'm spending thousands in this store (it was my favorite) I'm also returning for hundreds every month. I cannot continue business with HD policy. I just finished last home with HD. If you have problem shoplifting, resolve them but it is really stupid solution and will cost much more HD than profit

Last Friday I purchased flooring for my bathroom based on the online pics. After completing the order, my daughter mentioned that I should look at the customer pics. The flooring was greenish (not shown in store photos). I immediately called to switch my order to a different color. This was less than one hour after placing the order. I was told it was too late as it was in the system. I find it hard to believe in this day of technology. In the end, I have to wait a week for my shipment to arrive, pay shipping both ways, plus a restocking fee of 15%. I'm out $58 because their pictures were bad. I will NEVER shop at home depot again and will tell everyone I know the same.

I also do remodel on houses and my return without receipt was denied after years of similar returns. Home Depot uses a company called RAR to do the dirty work of refusing your legitimate returns. I was never told about this policy, clerks just kept accepting my returns. I also have spent upwards $100,000 with minimal returns on that amount. Then all if a sudden, Whammo, return denied. I still don't know how many returns are allowed over time.
I also did a return with a receipt printed later from Home Depot and they still rejected the return off my drivers license. My wife took it back with their receipt ( not the original at checkout) , her drivers license and the honored it. This tracking customers by drivers license needs to STOP.
Shame on Home Depot. I always liked them, but no more. Questionable annoying way to do business. I called RAR and too bad. I called Home Depot in Atlanta and home office was so sorry but this policy goes on. They told me Lowes uses RAR for returns also.

Took back a bunch of stuff today. All in perfect, unused condition. Mostly copper plumbing fittings. But other things as well. RETURNS DENIED. The clerk said that it was probably because Home Depot Computer has tied my previous returns to my driver's license magnetic strip and has decided to not honor any more returns from me without a receipt. Been spending thousands of dollars over the years there fixing and flipping houses. Now they cut me off. Just like that. No explanation whatsoever. Just RETURNS DENIED. Next time I buy something there I will take it back immediately and see if they will honor it WITH reciept. Who knows? If not I will have to go to Lowes from now on. In my business I can't afford to eat unused materials.

I am a general contractor. I am constantly buying supplies for jobs and like many other people who have commented on this site I have run into issues trying to return or exchange items only getting the answers that are convenient for the Home Depot employee. I cant get a real answer about who is rejecting or declining you return. The other day I tried to return some items I had purchased that were never used and are in the same condition as I bought them .I had no receipt and unfortunately was declined for approximately $120 of merchandise and given a number to call if I had any questions about why I was being declined . The person who I was trying to return the merchandise to at Home Depot apologized for this and explained that it wasn't Home Depot that is making this decision .so I called the number and asked the person why i cant return what i had purchased? what would you know the answer I got was , "Home Depot makes this decision. I was told that there is a 90 day wait before I could make another return without a receipt. And because I tryed to make additional return since my last return decline that the 90 day policy is reinstated and I have to begin the 90-day waite again .Is this 90 day policy a punishment I am Not sure so I called the return policy department asking them the reason for them reinstating the 90 day return policy and is this a punishment?I haven't done anything wrong I have spent thousands of dollars at your store and the items that I am returning are in the same quality as the day I purchased them. I asked , "Why are you reinstating this 90 day policy" the answer I got is it's Home Depot that makes this decision. This is very discouraging . I had made a window order from the window department and they ordered my windows with the wrong dimensions. I had clearly given them the absolute size and explain to them that in the past they had reduced ordering custom windows at Home Depot the window Dept ordered the wrong size windows .Well they did this again now I have to wait 2 more weeks to get the corrected window because of their mistake I lose money . And to make things worse after waiting for the correctly size windows to arrive I called The Home Depot to see if they have arrived? I was told yes they are here. So I Drove to that store which is a long drive to find out that the windows are not there and that they don't know why this person told me that the windows had arrived. Home Depot services have gotten terrible they only care about the dollar and will take no responsibility for their mistakes I have such a bad taste in my mouth because of Home Depot that I will only shop at their store if if I have nowhere else to shop for the materials I need. I definitely recommend for anybody this includes home owners and other contractors to shop at Ganahl lumber or any other local store for the materials they need. Not only has the customer service declined but the quality other materials are horrible I could go on and on about items I've bought and had to take them apart and reassemble them correctly in order for them to work on my jobs taking away my profits.

I went to Home Depot to return unused items totaling about $250, the transaction was declined and I was given a piece of paper that said to contact TRE. I didn't challenge the clerk to re-ring up all the items because I had purchased them by credit card, I received about half of the $250 credited to my credit card, I then asked the clerk to give me store credit for the bow but again the return was declined and I was given another piece of paper to contact TRE, the retail equation,I then brought my wife into the store to do the return for me seeing that I had made too many returns recently, keep in mind that I spent thousands of dollars every day for my business at Home Depot. Upon returning to Home Depot with my wife the transaction was again declined, the manager who suggested I bring my wife try to use his ID card it was declined, another store clerk use her ID and was it was declined, thus we lowered the return to below $100 in items and the return went through. I don't know what's going on with Home Depot but I am inclined to start shopping elsewhere, Home Depot will lose thousands of dollars of income from my business, too bad for them

Returns and refund policies should be carefully reviewed and understood. In 2 different occasions we had issues with undelivered items and the charges set in our credit card to replace the undelivered item (order).Home Depot will hold your money for the undelivered order till they clear the investigation and vendor response related to your order.They will charge you again for the second or replacement order if you want the item.Bottomline your money can be held from 30 to 60 days depending on the situation. The concern here is about modus operandi, Home Depot is literally working with people's money, if you look at the aggregate we may have millions of dollars held by home depot from customers, just do the numbers an estimate an average purchase value on line and see how this may end up. No interest are funded back to you, meaning this that if you were late with your credit card payment due to the delay in the refund, you pay for that. My 2 purchase online were for USD 800 (became USD 1600 hold for 45 days approx) and USD 321 that bacame into USD 500 plus. If you have experience the same , please let me know if there has been an expedited refund in your credit card. PS. If I borrow money from Home Depot, i could imagine that the minimum interest charge should be in the order of 8-12 % corporate capital charge, may be wrong with this , any feedback is greatly appreciated

Home Depot will accept returns without a receipt for a gift card, but if it is over $300 or $400 (total including tax) the "3rd party software" will deny your return and lock you out from making returns for 90 days.
If you have over the 3 - $400 limit split your return up (I am 90% sure it's $400 but 100% sure under $300 works) so $600 worth of returns split it in 2 returns.
Also if they have a run on thefts for certain items they will not accept them. Water pumps for example is a non returnable item. You can do 3 returns before they lock you out for 90 days

Home Depot also pulled a little stunt on returns with a reciept. I bought some sprinkler heads knowing I wouldn't use them all so that I wouldn't have to make a million trips to the store. As I was closing out my project after 6 months, I returned all the leftover items. Even with a reciept, home depot treated the items as not reciept items and gave me a currect selling price. In some cases, that price was $.01 for $7 sprinkler heads. So be careful what you buy and make sure you return it quick.

I just had a horrible experience with Home Depot. my husband had bought,some drills and batteries and other tools for our nephew to join in the construction business. He gave them to his nephew as a gift. Due to family situations his nephew was unable to use them but by this time he no longer had the receipt. My husband brought in some of the tools to return at the Marysville, WA store and the cashier refunded the purchase on a Home Depot gift card. The next day he returned to the same store to return the rest of the tools and they refused him and told him to call a different company. So later that day I took the items to be returned and I was denied and told the same thing to call this other company TRE. They gave me no explanation other than that. I explained the story of why we had to return these items but that we were going to be spending the money in that same store to buy other things we need. They were rude and told me that they didn't make the decisions, had nothing to do with them not accepting my return. I called the company TSE and they told me that it was the store who would reject my return, all they did was track their merchandise something. I demanded to know why I was being denied but still could get no answers. I called the store and asked for the manager and explained my situation and he just told me they don't make the decision to reject the return, would not give me answers to why, and told me they would check into it and call me back. Another manager called me back and told me there was nothing they were going to do about it. I told him how unsatisfied I was with the employees customer service, how I had been treated and lied to and just have the rum around. I told him that I would go to someone else and asked him for his name and he guff ave me a different name then he had when he first,called. He had said his name was Nathan. When I asked for it again he said it was Bobby. I called him out for lying about his name.

I was appalled by the treatment I received as their loyal customer. I told them sorry if there was a misunderstanding but in the end the Customers should always be right and that I would not be shopping there ever again, and that I was going to advise anyone I could not to shop there and about my experience there and they still didn't give me answers. I was treated disrespect fully, lied to, and made to feel like I was a criminal.

I then called the Home. Depot headquarters and talked to them and I got,the same run around and disrespect. They told mentioned up to the store manager to accept the return or not and there is nothing anyone was going to do about any of it.

I am so disappointed in the customer service, rules and judgments, and their over all lack of care for their customers needs or concerns.

If I were you I would never shop there. I never will again.VIgo to Lowe's instead. They have good customer service and good prices. I have always had a good experience there.

Home Depot disrespects and lies to their customers. I would rather shop where the company believes the customer is always right.

Home Depot, it is not just me saying these things. People all over are talking about how horrible you are. What has become of you? A few years ago these kinds of problems were never happening. You should change some things or you will loose more customers than just me.

I ordered a firepit from HD and was trying to get put in before my vacation. I placed my order even though many people stated that they came in damaged, well guess what, it arrived damaged at the local store. the person called letting me know it was in, however it was broken and when I asked him how to send it back for a refund he had no clue! so after all of this it was up to me to call customer service to have it returned on a wed. I received an Email on late Thursday evening stating that it was set up but it wasn't turned in til Friday evening. I was told 3-5 business days for my money to be put back on my card (which only took 30 seconds for them to take off) on the 4th business day I called to see if it was still being refunded now they are telling me another couple of weeks! This isn't the first time HD has made me mad, but I PROMISE you it will be the last!!!!

Be very cautious in dealing with Home Depot and their special order kitchen cabinets. On October 23, 2013, we ordered 4 base cabinets on special order and paid close to $3000 for them. Home Depot advised the cabinets would be shipped to our local Home Depot in Frazer, PA for pick up on November 6, 2013. Cabinets did not arrive and checking our online HD account revealed no record of the purchase, order or payment. However, our credit card account did show a payment to HD for $2800+ for the cabinets. HD customer service was contacted and advised that someone on their side "dropped the ball" and to give the order a little more time. Finally, our installation contractor advised he had to move on to other jobs.

We again contacted HD customer service and were advised the cabinets would be shipped shortly and were scheduled to be delivered to our residence. We advised HD to cancel the order as we no longer had a contractor and the items had not been delivered as promised. HD claimed the cabinets were in shipment and that we should simply refuse delivery and not sign any receipts from the delivery vendor. On November 17, 2013, a delivery truck arrived at our home and the driver showed a delivery receipt that did not indicate what was actually being delivered. We refused delivery, signed nothing, and the truck, driver and goods departed. HD customer service was advised and stated we would receive a credit to our credit card account when the vendor received the cabinets from the trucking agency. On December 6, 2013, we again contacted HD customer service who showed, again, no records of the purchase, but placed us with a corporate representative who advised the cabinets were a no-return item and that she could not credit our account.

We went through the entire story again, and HD corporate said they would look into it and get back to us. We have now placed the payment in dispute and the credit card company is withholding payment to HD until they finish their own investigation. Beware! Nowhere on the HD site does it state the cabinets are no-return and nowhere on the order form is such a statement. It is hidden away in the FAQ area if you happen to open that online page. So, presently, HD has our money, did not deliver as agreed and the cabinets are somewhere between God knows where and the vendor.

I agree with the comment, "This will be the last thing I buy from Home Depot." (Marina del Rey, CA). Ordered a washer/dryer. They do not deliver their own appliances, "Temco" does. Guess... in mind, HD will NOT let you set up a day and a window of time for delivery. You cannot say you ... show up, which is no help at all. The Marina HD store WILL let me cancel the order or just issue refund on the dryer. After waiting and waiting for one delivery,...want to group addresses and such, but not to specify a day, or even a 4 hour framework, is ridiculous. And you get robocalls,...

Home Depot Guelph integrity??? Returning home to a serious sewer blockage I rented a manual sewer snake with the verbal assurance of the agent that if I could not get it ... it home, I realized that it was impossible to mount my access port with this machine and returned it within 22 minutes. After receiving my credit card statement and discovering no credit for the rental, I approached the agent who denied the conversation we had and refused adjustment. I could well have applied the lost funds toward the cost of a ...
