Burning Down Home Depot Will Not Help Save Your Friend's Hardware Store
By Chris Morran on May 24, 2012 4:00 PM
51 Comments
We do enjoy hearing stories about friends who go the extra mile to help each other out. There is also something to be said for helping out a local business in favor of a national retail chain. However, it's probably not in anyone's best interest to try to burn the bigger store to the ground. More »
PayPal's Real-World Dominion Expanding To 15 Additional Major Retailers
By Chris Morran on May 24, 2012 3:15 PM

For so long, PayPal has been a convenient way to make payments online (so long as you don't care about things like customer service or getting your payment disputes settled or even responded to). But the company has been edging its way into real-world retailing, especially through its Home Depot partnership. And today PayPal announced its plan to go whole-hog in this sphere with 15 new major retail partners. More »
This Power Strip Is Ideal For Outdoor Use, Just Maybe Don't Use It Outdoors
By Chris Morran on May 11, 2012 2:15 PM

Consumerist reader Fred was strolling through his local Home Depot in Connecticut when he checked out this Belkin power strip, which says right on the front of the package that it is "ideal" for outdoor use. Apparently, "ideal" is Belkin-ese for "not advised." More »
Home Depot Delivers $2500 Worth Of Appliances, Won't Accept Money For Them
By Laura Northrup on May 4, 2012 9:00 AM
60 Comments
Consumer thought experiment: if Home Depot delivers some appliances to you, but never bills you for them, are they free? If that were true, a California grandmother got one heck of a Cyber Monday deal on more than $2,500 worth of kitchen appliances from Home Depot. That's not what she wanted. She'd rather just pay the hardware mega-chain already, but they won't accept her money. A computer glitch makes it look like she already paid for the appliances, and Home Depot won't accept her money. More »
April Recall Roundup: Flaming Monster Truck Edition
By Laura Northrup on April 26, 2012 12:33 PM
18 Comments
The boys' t-shirts at Kohl's feature a monster truck jumping over a row of vintage convertibles and tall orange flames, and come with a free toy monster truck to match. This design turned out to be oddly prescient when customers inserted batteries in the trucks and they smoldered or caught fire. Yes, it's time for the Consumerist Recall Roundup, with a diverse assortment of products lurking in your home, waiting to kill or maim you and your children. More »

Study Says The More Walmarts In The Area, The More Hate Groups There Are
By Mary Beth Quirk on April 13, 2012 5:00 PM

This one's sure to boil some blood over at Walmart headquarters: A new study says there's a significant correlation between the amount of Walmart stores in an area and the number of hate groups existing in that same area. As the big-box stores proliferate, so do the groups. More »

When Laptop Screen Cracks, Office Depot Comes Through
By Laura Northrup on March 16, 2012 9:00 AM
17 Comments
Usually, when a message arrives in our mailbox containing the name of a big-box office supply store and the word "saga," it means that a sad tale of incompetence and woe is in store. But that's not the case this time. "I've never had a corporation help me this much in my entire life," Curtis noted in his e-mail. When something went wrong with the screen of his Gateway laptop that be purchased from Office Depot, Gateway offered to fix the screen for $200. He wrote to Office Depot about the problem, not expecting much, but ended up stunned at the help he received from corporate. More »

Scammers Hit Grocery Store Gift Card Kiosk, Swap Out Empty Cards For New Ones
By Laura Northrup on March 1, 2012 9:30 AM
68 Comments
Jeff is a really generous boss. This past holiday season, he gave out $100 gift cards to various stores as gifts to his staff. He picked them up at one of those gift card malls that you see in grocery and drug stores: in this case, at grocery chain Ralph's. When his employee went to actually use the card this week, it wouldn't work. Normal gift card snafu? No. The grocery store blames card-switching thieves. More »

If You Give Sears Your Phone Number, They Might Harass You Like A Clingy Stalker
By Laura Northrup on February 9, 2012 9:30 AM
54 Comments
Sears, Sears. We know that you're desperate. But acting clingy and desperate is no way to win over customers, especially the ones who have just made a purchase in your store. While it seems like every retailer is pushing their service plans on customers, they don't usually resort to phone stalking, like what you did to your poor customer Mike. He had to resort to contacting the FTC and your corporate offices about the stalking.
It's over, Sears. You should have taken the hint one of the first few dozen times you called. Now Mike really never wants anything to do with you again. More »
