$15 flat rate is a deal killer.

Lots of stuff in their list is not eligible for Ship to Home, but there are some good deals here otherwise.

... and how do you "recondition" a battery. That's ridiculous. It's not as if they go replace the cells or anything.

Quote from HunterXY :
This is a terrible deal. Reconditioned stuff from them is broken stuff someone returned that they try to sell off to some poor sap to make some kind of money. I'm highly suspect that they do any sort of repair on anything, every reconditioned I've bought was useless and broken and returned, won't buy anymore.
I've purchased several "factory blemished" and "factory reconditioned" things from DTO with no issues. Dontknow

Factory Blemished from DTO is absolutely not the same as Factory Reconditioned

Either they temporarily or permanently raised their prices on ALL of their tools before these sales. I know during the January 50% off sale the 40V Jet Fan Blower was $50 ($99.99 retail) and now its listed for $119.99 - 40% = $71. Their 40V Chainsaw is at least $20 more also.

With the flat-rate shipping and lack of availability of many items this is lukewarm at best.

Factory blemished is new with a possible knick or scratch on the box, item, etc.

Reconditioned is some previous owners defective or broken return to home depot. As in, it was broken out of the box and didn't work for them or they broke it, and either way, returned to store probably within the 90 day return period. Then it was RMAd and sold off to DTO for $1 so they could con someone else into buying a broken item for 25% off the MSRP. I can tell you for a fact they don't attempt repairs. Because I've gotten stuff straight up broken into pieces and unusable.

The last straw for me was a gift from my wife, past their 30 day return period because she didn't know any better. It was unusable, in fact unsafe, and I barely got them to accept it back for partial refund.

In some jurisdictions, that's an illegal practice -- raising your prices just before offering a sale.

Oh wait, this is not the EU that has consumer protections? Nevermind then.
