It certainly seems that Home Depot has a few customer service issues, here and the USA and Canada.

They honored the Internet price without argument. The next week, I went to HomeDepot in LaHuerta, armed with fresh printouts. The first clerk told me the sticker price was the price, as if he'd never heard of the Internet. I went to the manager, who looked up the website to make sure I hadn't forged the printouts, debated, and then finally told me, as if he doing me a great favor, that he'd honor the web price, adding that he didn't have to. From now I'll drive the extra distance to the nice HomeDepot instead of the closer-by, mean one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60640136737405043.post-33589753192499173612014-08-30T10:16:59.650-05:002014-08-30T10:16:59.650-05:00Good morning Ed.

(Brenda) We photocopy and file every receipt for anything with a plug on the end .... but unfortunately I tossed out the original boxes and nothing can be returned without the box. So now I have to head into Cancun, purchase another fan in hopes that this one will work, and then use the box to return (on another trip to Cancun) the squeaky one that we just purchased two days ago. Oh joy!

It is not just Home Depot...oh, god, try returning something to Wal-mart! Or Chedraui! Or anywhere!!! PORQUE??? Are the clerks taught to take NOTHING back, no matter what??? I would love to talk to some of these employees outside of work, to find out the story...But, thanks for the chuckle of the day...well, really. not so funny since we have all been there...and so want to pitch a hissy fit...but hard to do effectively unless we are very fluent in Spanish, including all slang!!!Gailmarie7https://www.blogger.com/profile/13852573693802119157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60640136737405043.post-69932948465278861012014-08-29T07:51:13.375-05:002014-08-29T07:51:13.375-05:00Make sure you open the new box right in front of t...Make sure you open the new box right in front of them and have them stamp the warranty! Better yet, bring all the warranties from the other fans and see if they will stamp them. Then save the disappearing ink receipt for ten years. Then blog about the return in year nine! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
