Community Reviews
This Ridgid 18V starter kit stands out for high capacity batteries and unusually strong value, especially for tools that drain fast like blowers, shop vacs, trimmers, and rear handle saws. The 8Ah packs are described as beasts with noticeably better runtime and power than 4Ah batteries, and the included charger adds extra utility. The main caveats are weight and some listing confusion, since the pictures and box did not always match the contents. Registration for the lifetime warranty also came up as an important step.

It currently shows shipped with a delivery of Wed.
Essentially, the retailers make chunks of deliveries available, and the "100% independent contractors" bid on them. Lowest price wins. So you're dealing with people making pennies per delivery, often times in rural areas where traditional mailing like USPS, UPS, or Fedex are cost prohibitive (in comparison to these discount services).
You never get the same delivery person twice, they DO NOT read delivery instructions, etc. If it's delivered incorrectly (wrong address), you're stuck. Home Depot tells you to "take it up with the credit card company". HD does NOT care. Walmart and Amazon are better, and they make things right.

What's odd, and annoying, is that the batteries were shipped in the original stock box. Luckily no damage, but I can't tell if it's been previously opened or not.

Came shipped in a HD cardboard box -- not the bare product box like some others.

Expect things to go in circles for DAYS. Be prepared to go onto Twitter for some public shaming @ their customer service handle. It's about the ONLY way I've gotten results.
You want HD to fix it -- they usually won't. You need your credit card company to do a chargeback. HD is one of the worst companies to deal with when it comes to customer service complaints.
And as soon as you do a chargeback, you get banned as a customer.
I received two products:
1) 8.0 Ah MAX Output EXP x2 + Charger x1
2) 4.0 Ah MAX Output x2 + Charger x1
I'm done with getting RIdgid batteries. I will stop buying Ridgid batteries...UNTIL the next slick deal comes along.
