Home Depot delivery to wrong address with broken refund promises
Home Depot delivered an order to the wrong address, then made conflicting promises about redelivery and credit that were not fulfilled. The customer had to visit a store in person for a refund despite the error being Home Depot's fault. This retail fulfillment failure reflects poor last-mile delivery coordination and inconsistent customer service.
