Re: New HD policy

Bought some construction material from HD yesterday. The receipt
shows the cost of each item and the refund value of each item. The
refund value is 10% less than the purchase price. Guess they're now
charging a 10% restocking fee on returned items. They've now lost my
business.

I find it simply incredible folks want the absolute rock-bottom cheapest initial price and still think that owes them the "right" to take stuff home, let it lay around a construction site for a month or two and then take the culls back for full credit/refund. Often I even see folks take tools for a weekend job, use them, then claim some "defect" and return them...

But, as for HD policy,

-Special Order returns are subject to 15% restocking fee.

...

**See Special Services Desk at your local store for details.

Nothing about 10%; I'd suggest asking local store management about what the deal is specifically if it's that bothersome but my real suggestion is as above--you buy it; it's yours unless there is an actual defect. Don't buy stuff if the intent is to return it; what's the point anyway???
