We are so sorry to hear about to service you have received through The Home Depot after receiving a damaged unit. It's understandable that you're frustrated, especially with the tight installation timeline and the challenge of returning a large item. We completely understand that returning the tub yourself isn’t feasible, which is why you opted for delivery in the first place. We apologize for the inconvenience and the less-than-ideal solution provided. We appreciate your patience and would like to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at 1-800-999-1459 between 8am-5pm EST, Monday-Friday, so we can assist you further and find a more suitable solution. We're glad to hear that, aside from the chip, you find the tub to be a good value. We aim to resolve this issue quickly so you can complete your installation on time. Thank you for choosing Bootz!
