We are very concerned about the recent unscrupulous business practices that we have experienced at Home Depot. On April 15, 2007, we purchased a black LG 6810 dishwasher from the Home Depot store # 6367 in Orlando. Because the dishwasher was for a new home construction, we asked the salesperson to set the delivery date for July 13.

We called the store in mid June, to request that the delivery date be moved up, as we were now ready for the dishwasher.

We were first told that the dishwasher would be delivered on June 23. Then we got a call saying that it would be delivered on June 30. June 30 came and went, and no dishwasher was forthcoming. We called Home Depot again, and we were then told that it would be delivered on July 15. When we called to check on this, we were told that it was possible the dishwasher would be delivered in September, but that Home Depot really had no idea.

At this point, our house was completed and our final inspection was being delayed because of the non-arrival of our paid-for-in-April dishwasher. We finally went to another appliance store, and were told what Home Depot MUST have known: LG was no longer making this model of dishwasher. When we called the Home Depot store again, armed with this information, they admitted that this was indeed the case. Home Depot had taken our money back in April, and was trying to put us off until September (and probably then later and later and later) but had NO intention of delivering to us the dishwasher that we'd paid for.

This is the stuff scams are made of: one company taking a customer's money with no intention of ever delivering the product to the customer. That money could have been accruing interest for the past 3 months. Instead, Home Depot "borrowed" $685 from us, interest-free.
