Generator Returns at Home Depot

Was in the Garden center at Home Depot in Gonzales this weekend. There were over 250 generators on pallets outside in the garden center. I asked the guy in the back if they were all broke. He said as soon as the power came back on, they were getting 50+ returns a day.
30

Hmm. Lowe’s had non returnable signs on their generators. I wonder if that was enforceable

Did he cut you a good deal on one?

Why? Why wouldn’t you hold onto it until the next storm? We do live in south LA, hurricanes aren’t uncommon.

Generator Returns at Home Depot
Lowes was veyr clear on their policies for both generators and chainsaws. No refunds. The thing is people are using ta copy of the receipts for tax deductions or reimbursements.

Some people are so fricking shitty. If they were broken, that’s one thing but people doing it for the cash are shitty people.

Harbor Freight had $800 returned generators going for $400. None had the smell of gas in the tanks.

Because your Home Depot card is going to eventually have to be paid.

I’ve always wondered the same thing... I’d rather not have to scramble around last minute trying to get the things I need.

because fema saw the reciept for buying it and gave people a check to cover it, they did it with chainsaws as well, all completely free from fema but, then you go return it and get a refund and you just got a free $800-$900 from fema
the idiots at the store shouldnt be taking them back since putting oil and gas in it voids the warranty

I don’t believe you.
There’s a no return policy

When the next hurricane hits, they’ll all scramble for supplies again.
It is easier to just be prepared.

They were either rentals, which is most likely, or they were there for repairs
They weren’t returns. I can promise you that

And I bet majority of those folks accepted tax payer money to buy the generator

Your entire post is BS

Broke people returning them since they didn't use them they can get that money back
also a lot of people were buying generators 2+ days after the storm, that was when a lot of people were getting their power back
my thoughts are, always be prepared, you can always be far ahead of everyone else and these storms will be a lot less stressful

I know people have different financial situations but I don’t understand why people don’t have some type of generator just in case. We have so many different weird weather events that you need some form of back up power. I know not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford a generator to run your whole home but everyone should have something.

Whomever makes money off the government returning a generator had better not bitch about government spending.
