Home Depot Marks Partial Delivery as Fully Delivered in Order Tracker
When one item in a Home Depot bundle order goes on backorder, the entire order is marked as Delivered in the order tracker once the available item ships. This leaves customers unaware of missing items and unable to track backorder status. The misleading order status creates confusion and drives unnecessary support contacts.

Retailer and Carrier Blame-Shift Leaves Customers Without Refunds
When online orders go missing in transit, retailers and carriers each deflect responsibility, leaving buyers in an unresolvable loop. Neither party has incentive to own the resolution, and customers lack the tools to escalate effectively. This is a structural gap in last-mile accountability for e-commerce.
E-Commerce Orders Marked Delivered Without Reaching the Customer
A Home Depot customer's order was marked as delivered with a proof-of-delivery photo of a different address, leaving them without their goods and needing to pursue a refund. This reflects a broader last-mile delivery verification failure common across e-commerce carriers.
Wrong Item Delivered With No Cross-Team Resolution Path
Retail customers who receive wrong items from online orders get bounced between online customer service and local store teams, neither of which has authority to resolve the issue. The split between online orders and physical store operations creates a coordination gap that leaves customers unable to get refunds or redelivery. Missing work and opportunity costs from unresolved fulfillment errors compound the impact.
