Just had to tell someone! We were told we'd get a call..

[LAS14]

... from a Home Depot installer "in 48 hours." After two days had past we called and found out that "48 hours" meant only 8 hour business days. "48 hours" was really 6 business days. 8 calendar days. Who thinks up this stuff????

Just spouting.

2. I would not have anyone do a job for me

That works with that as a timeline basis.

4. Should have gone with Lowes, or better yet Ace. They are locally owned franchises.

5. That's pretty shitty

in contrast, I bought a stove from Home Depot. I ordered it online, and they gave me a delivery date right away. It was a few weeks away, but that was fine. I think it was a couple of days before delivery, got a call to confirm delivery and estimated time. The delivery guys arrived earlier than expected and were very fast.

Granted, this is not installation in the sense that you’re talking about, but my experience was pretty good. Yes, I know, Home Depot sucks and all of that But it has what I need, at a fair price, And my experience over the years has been positive.

6. Was that the Home Depot timeline

Or was it the installer? Aren’t the installers vetted by HD? I’d call HD and ask the manager wth?

Good luck.

9. Corporate literal

That's how they speak it.

"Is radiation from the meltdown a threat to people?"

"There is no immediate threat to public health."
