Home Depot Paid Measurement Service Withholds Measurements, Delivers Only Sales Quote
Home Depot charges customers for a professional door measurement service but withholds the actual measurement data after completion, providing only an installation quote. The core deliverable — the measurements — is never given to the paying customer. This misrepresentation was not disclosed at point of sale, making the service a disguised sales lead funnel.

surfaced semanticallyRetailer Marks Undelivered Items as Delivered and Blocks Written Refund Requests
A customers online order had one item marked as delivered in the retailers system despite never arriving, and after the promised re-delivery date also passed, the retailer refused to process a cancellation and refund through written communication, insisting instead on phone calls during limited hours or in-person store handling. This forces customers with documented, unresolved delivery failures to repeatedly re-engage through inconvenient channels rather than getting a straightforward resolution.
Home Depot Online Installation Service Bait-and-Switch After Purchase
Home Depot sells appliance installation as part of an online checkout bundle, then after delivery fails to connect customers with an installer—quietly removing one of the three referrals. Customers are left to find their own contractor after they have already received and paid for the product. This is a documented repeat pattern that causes consumers to lose loyalty benefits with prior providers who were cancelled in anticipation of the switch.
Repeated Wrong-Item Installs Stall an Already-Agreed Home Depot Refund
A customer received the wrong door on a home installation project three times, and despite an agreed-upon $1300 refund plus $750 gift card, payment stalled for over three weeks with only vague internal 'issue' excuses. The case shows a breakdown between install fulfillment accuracy and the retailer's ability to execute an already-approved refund.
Customer Files BBB Complaint Over Home Depot Blinds Delivery Errors
A customer reports Home Depot provided inaccurate delivery dates and shipped incorrect blinds products, causing extra installation costs, and did not substantively respond to repeated resolution requests. The post is an individual consumer dispute rather than evidence of a systemic, buildable problem.
Home Depot Delivers Wrong Product and Refuses Refund
A customer ordered a swing-out garage door but received an incompatible product requiring costly storage. Home Depot declined accountability, leaving the buyer financially exposed. Reflects a gap in fulfillment verification and dispute resolution in large-format retail.
