Here’s your problem: You have to specifically buy with SHIPPING, not DELIVERY. With shipping you get UPS, Fed Ex, post office etc. With delivery, you get whoever the closest meth head is who can download a delivery app. Walmart is doing the same thing with the 3rd party shipper. We switched back to shipping only because we had some SKETCHY WEIRDOS showing up at our house. Especially from Home Depot. Even if it takes a few more days. At least UPS & Fed Ex are somewhat vetted. No more of that nonsense. We even get a lot shipped to our PO Box. “Visitor’s Not Welcome”. --24.152.xxx.xx

Same here. We ordered two portable A/C units from HD that looked like they had been dropped kicked across the parking lot. --64.246.xxx.xx

Maybe you can explain why, since you say you have over 100 million in property and income in the millions per year that you don't have a person to handle these things. Some people like to do some of the hands on work though and I understand that. There's something satisfying in actually doing things, especially for those who started with little and built something. When I had my construction company in Santa Barbara and invested in places,I would do much of the work because I liked it and it gave me a sense of satisfaction. Eventually I did have someone to do things and deal with stuff like that which allowed me to focus on more places. --75.7.xx.xx

I ordered 10 storm windows years ago, shiped to the HD store. Every shipment had broken windows. Took forever to get 10 unbroken storms. There's no way they made any profit. I learned my lesson until they had a special of the day on mini splits and I ordered 4. Same situation. Complete waste of my time. --174.60.xxx.xxx

HD has partnered w Walmart to do local deliveries like it's Uber eats. The delivery person puts a package down and takes their Pic, no matter how much money the item is worth. I stick w in store pick up or in store pro delivery on a flatbed truck. Lowe's got rid of their backend delivery coordinator and plopped it all on store fulfillment. So don't expect to get delivies from Lowes w out a hitch. --172.59.xxx.xxx

Most large corporations try to look for the lowest cost which may not work with the amount damage done by delivery companies. Lowes in Canada no longer exists where now the former Lowes store are Rona. Target lasted here for a few years then no longer. From experience the quality of lumber at HD is less then the local hardware store. HD generally has lower quality building materials then other stores as mainly those who flip houses are not concerned about after a few years along with builders use builders line where it may only last five years or less. If go to WM the quality is much lower than Costco where there is no saving. What the tariff war has done has opened up a lot of products that are made in Canada where the price is higher along the quality is better as well. I have found some of products sold at the restore are much better quality then the big box stores. Do it maybe to buy quality which is going last longer, The reason why many stores want products from Asia is the lower price where the mark up is higher. In the Eu countries they build houses and building with quality building materials where it costs more but last a lot longer, A typical house i a EU the walls in the bedrooms and other rooms are concrete where no drywall. In the event of severe weather there is usually minor damage except floods. --216.110.xxx.xxx

It not only arrived, but gave a short time window. Never saw the driver, but it was delivered as instructed. --75.11.xx.xx

Around here Next Door Neighbor posters are complaining that the Uber Eats orders are never received, some posters are saying the drivers are eating the food instead of delivering it. --75.11.xx.xx
