I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Homeessentialdirect.com has been beyond frustrating. I ordered an ECM Fan Control Board for my HVAC unit and paid extra for express shipping (advertised as 1–3 days). It has now been over a week, and I have received absolutely nothing—no package, no shipping update, no communication whatsoever. What’s worse is the complete lack of customer service. No follow-up, no status update, no accountability. When you’re ordering a critical HVAC component, timing matters, and this company clearly doesn’t understand—or care—about that. At this point, it feels like I paid for expedited service that simply doesn’t exist. If you value reliability, transparency, or even basic communication, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Extremely disappointing experience.

Item Sold as In Stock, Then after a week i start asking for the status of shipping, they said its Out of Stock and will refund me, I know this is in stock by the vendor, the vendor increased the price with a few dollars, so they lied that its out of stock, I have no problem if they reach out to me that the price changed or is out of stock, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY IGNORED ME FOR A WEEK, UNTIL THEY RESPONDED THAT ITS OUT OF STOCK.

I placed an order with Home Essentials Direct based on their website showing the item as available and with a confirmed delivery date of December 10. At no point during checkout or after placing the order was I informed that the product was out of stock. Only when I personally called to confirm delivery was I told that the item was actually out of stock and asked if I wanted to cancel the order. This is completely unacceptable and shows a serious lack of transparency. Had I known the item was unavailable, I would have ordered elsewhere immediately. Because of this, my construction project timeline was directly impacted and delayed. Online retailers must clearly disclose stock status before taking payment and confirming delivery dates. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company.

The company did not send me what I ordered. Instead, they sent me something of lesser value. I could have purchased what they sent me for $75 less than what they charged me, but they would refund me only $50.

We ordered a carbon monoxide/propane alarm from them last month May 2025 they sent us one date stamped 2019, when I asked they said date doesn't matter when you plug it in it will know and last 5 years, LIES I asked to get an exchange or a refund they said I should get ahead of the warehouse so they can test it, THEN if the warehouse says it's bad then will refund me LIES, I asked for info on warehouse NO reply 3 times.i reported them to the BBB and they told them they gave me an address and RMA and unfortunately I didn't return item LIES, I even said there replies to the BBB. Proving they were LIARS.. it cost $63 I mean really you LIE and don't do good business over $63 AWFUL DON'T do business with this company

I just bought, and received a Dometic 3 CF refrigerator for my 2004 Roadtrek campervan from Home Essentials Direct. When I saw the price I ordered it. Only then did I read some of the reviews. Then I got somewhat nervous. It was supposed to arrive in 4 business days (Jun 4). I got nervous when it didn't show. It did arrive yesterday. Now all was good. I had it drop shipped at a RV repair shop and it's being installed as I write. So far, I'm very pleased with the purchase. And the price was absolutely unbeatable.

Stay away. Sent me a completely wrong toilet bowl which I cannot use and then they have the audacity to tell me to keep it and "donate it to charity". They are not offering me to send the correct toilet I ordered, either. Now I have a huge 55lbs box in my hallway and zero progress on replacing a broken toilet.

I ordered Rob Vac trusting the Ads--it is not as described --nor does it Work..defective. They promised a Full Refund . I have asked for refund ..they are refusing. Offered me 20 % to keep them. I said -No-defective. Now they are insiting to keep their Cost down--I must Pay for the Return. They claim to be a Manufacturing Com any who makes the Robo-Vac..it looks like a Chinese Shipped Product. Cheap--Light Weight. The VAC runs around the House Picking up Nothing..no Hair-no Dust, etc.(*Useless)I did not find this BBB Link until Today --I was looking for wrong name. Now I see the Complaints listed below..same as my Complaint. I think a Robot is answering the emails..all are the same --Stall--offer 20%--then say You must pay to return..does not honor Fair Business Practices or Consumer Laws. *I have contacted the BBB & My Credit Card Company the minute --I saw their Mode of Operation. * Consumers must be aware of these Antics. **I ordered about July 10--rec Product --Charged--di dnot work..Contacted Loft the 19th to return Item..15 emails later --we are still back & forth.::This is their Guarantee *Returns Policy*Your enjoyment of our products is our highest priority.
