Home Depot receipts
Canada. A few days ago I purchased some lumber at my local Home depot.
On the Credit card machine a question came up before allowing me to proceed. It asked "Would you like your receipt emailed to you? Y/N" My God! Is the next thing the same way the phoney grocery bag scam has gone? Are we going to have to pay for a printed store receipt if we don't want to give out our spammail address? After all it's all in the name of green planet hype, isn't it? That paper receipt will kill millions of omeba in the twilight zone that protects earth. WTF is next? -- mike |

I would definitely refuse.
I have a mediocre connection, have already had fraud on my credit card...... I am sick of the e-mail transactions they want us to do. Now think about it. They usually send us a receipt at the end of the month. I am a contractor and get hard copies for myself, my bookkeeper and the owners. I would have to print that out anyway...... Where is the savings? Also record keeping. Yes, I know, you can back it up, e-mail it to customers.... Pretty soon, I will be only in front of my computer.....

WTF is next? -- h mike I don't know how it is where you live, but our local Lowes and Home Depot are basically retail store catering to the home owner, the DYIers, and people who convert wood into saw dust in their spare time. I doubt that only a small percent can find the receipt by the time they get their purchase out to the car. I know that discribes me. I download my card purchases on a routine basis and account for everything so know exactly what I have purchased. So not getting a receipt would not be a big deal. I know the card entry is as good as the receipt. HOWEVER, I have all of the receipts for tools and equipment that I have bought. |

It's OPTIONAL, and If you spend high five to six figures/year on material purchases, and must account for every penny, it's a handy one. I find it particularly handy when I have to send someone else to pickup materials ordered online/on site, when the receipt may not make it back to me. -- www.ewoodshop.com |
Home Depot receipts
A few days ago I purchased some lumber at my local Home depot.... Personal and business purchases can make a difference, as to a preference for emailed receipts. I get and keep all receipts, no matter what the purchase. I prefer a hard copy, when purchased. Not sure I would be comfortable with an emailed receipt for a local/in-store purchase. A receipt is just one identifying aspect of a purchase or ownership. For all power tools, hand-tool sets, etc., I record serial numbers and any other info on/in the owners manual, along with a copy of the receipt, for any future reference and in case any tools are ever stolen and they end up in a pawn shop, in possession of a "street peddler", etc. And I scribe my initials and "mark" on the tools, also. I record serial numbers on the original receipts, also, and file those, separately, in the "important documents" filing cabinet. I have/take inventory pictures of tools, supplies, lumber, etc., in case of hurricane, tornado, fire and/or other damaging situations, for insurance purposes. Sonny |

The system still is not perfect - it owes a bit to the kind of card you used, as well as how long ago. I'm sure they'll get it ironed out, and you're lucky it's worked well for your needs so far, but it does have some way to go yet - perhaps a small way, but a ways all the same. It's a corporate issue - not a local issue because the POS terminals reference the corporate systems for this kind of lookup. It will puke if your bank or you change any aspect of your card - even your PIN. But like I say - they'll get it ironed out. -- -Mike- |

Mike,
Canada. A few days ago I purchased some lumber at my local Home depot. On the Credit card machine a question came up before allowing me to proceed. It asked "Would you like your receipt emailed to you? Y/N" My God! Is the next thing the same way the phoney grocery bag scam has gone? Are we going to have to pay for a printed store receipt if we don't want to give out our spammail address? After all it's all in the name of green planet hype, isn't it? That paper receipt will kill millions of omeba in the twilight zone that protects earth. I'm all for reducing environmental impact, but always choose the paper receipt. I don't want to type in my email address at the store, or receive a bunch of junk mail later. If they insist on going digital, I would rather carry a USB flash drive with me and let them save a PDF version of the receipt to that. They save paper, I get a digital copy, and no junk mail. If enough places did it, it would be no different than carrying around a wallet full of credit and debit cards. As for the paper receipts, I have three Home Depot receipts in front of me right now. The store name/address and my list of purchases are 4" to 6" long on each receipt. The remaining 6" to 8" is about store policies, information on home pickups, chances to win gift cards, surveys, and an advertisement for redbeacon. They could cut their paper usage by 1/2 to 2/3 by replacing all that extra junk with a simple one or two line web link for more information. Most stores are guilty of excessive paper use. My recent Safeway grocery receipt has an extra 6" at the bottom telling me my accumulations for sandwich credits, surveys, back to school items, gas rewards, etc. Wasteful. Heck, bank and bill statements are excessively wasteful too. Very inefficient layouts, often taking three pages for information that would easily have fit on one. Or the one I love, "this page is intentionally left blank". If you can print that line on there, why not print my account information there instead and save some paper? I have gone digital for most bank and bill statements that offer it. Less waste, and it's less work for me to download the statement and archive it than it is to scan in the paper statements. But I don't care for the emailed store receipts. Anthony Watson WatsonDIY.com/anthony.htm |

But what's worse and what this really points to is that the receipts you have in front of you will remain legible for a few months and then they'll be useless. The electronic version does not suffer that fate. Of course, you could always scan your originals in while they are still legible, but who does that... -- -Mike- |

Mike,
I'm all for reducing environmental impact, but always choose the paper receipt. I don't want to type in my email address at the store, or receive a bunch of junk mail later. You do not have to. Have you not heard of "Do Not Solicit"? Keeps you from receiving all of those unwanted emails. Simply elect that option. You might have to look a bit to find it but what's the big deal in that? Having to type in my email address is more of a hassle than dealing with the junk mail. I could easily opt out or filter the email, but when I'm done shopping I just want to check out as quickly as possible. Obviously, neither of these is a big deal, but the paper receipt works fine for me. If they insist on going digital, I would rather carry a USB flash drive with me and let them save a PDF version of the receipt to that. And then they have to rely on you having a good/formated thumb drive. Why all the big fuss about something so simple? Is an email to you really that big a deal? Email is frequently deleted by spam filters, or simply lost in cyberspace somewhere. There's a good chance that a receipt sent by email would never arrive. Email is also not secure. Granted, it's probably no big deal if someone else sees what you bought at Home Depot, but it's still a matter of privacy. I would rather have an account online where I could log in and download my receipt, just like most online retailers and banking statements. Maybe have a member card I could swipe (like most grocery stores have). Regardless, this is just a thought discussion. The paper receipt works fine for me, but I'm not totally against the email version either. It's just a matter of minimizing hassle. :) you could always scan your originals in while they are still legible, but who does that... I scan many receipts for items that have warranties, or items I simply want to remember when/where I purchased them. Usually that's big items like a TV, computer part, lawnmower, or whatever.

Most of this e-Invoice stuff is just crap that wastes most petroleum and computer chips than the recyclable and renewable forest products. The online statements means you have to religiously download your invoices form what?.... 20 or maybe 50 accounts each month or you have no records when the product goes wrong. Half these high-tech companies can't be trusted to even make out the balance statement correctly now wit the 18 year old accountants running the web stuff. Crap! my energy statements were wrong four times in the last 12 months. My phone bill was wrong last month. Several times my cell bill charged me for services that aren't on my plan. I want the paper bills. Just don't make them 6 pages like some of the utilities have. Don't charge me $2 for a paper bill snuck into the bill aside from regulatory controls either when you can send out paper mail spam every month about **** I already have. And don't charge me $0.05 for a shopping bag and then hide the recyclable paper bags so you can sell me a plastic reusable bag that makes 100 times the garbage weight. The shopping chain stores were stopped from giving out the paper bags when their no-plastic give-aways, use or new greenTM bags instead, started. Check it out. Eco-Friendly and Green are both registered trademarks to con you into buying more environmentally dirty products. They don't care about the environment. They only want YOU to focus on something other than your wallet while they empty it. -- mike |

Are we going to have to pay for a printed store receipt if we don't want to give out our spammail address? After all it's all in the name of green planet hype, isn't it? That paper receipt will kill millions of omeba in the twilight zone that protects earth. WTF is next? -- mike |

The E-receipt prompt is a yes or no option. If you elect yes you will also receive a email of your receipt. If you elect No to many times the prompt option , using a credit, will understand you do not want a e-receipt and swill stop asking. At this time there is no way to get the prompt request to return to a yes/no option unless you use a different credit card. There is no added charges for these options, it is all free. Hope this helps. I love e-receipts, I can easily read them on my computer and they never fade. |

I get and keep all receipts, no matter what the purchase. I prefer a hard copy, when purchased. Not sure I would be comfortable with an emailed receipt for a local/in-store purchase. A receipt is just one identifying aspect of a purchase or ownership. For all power tools, hand-tool sets, etc., I record serial numbers and any other info on/in the owners manual, along with a copy of the receipt, for any future reference and in case any tools are ever stolen and they end up in a pawn shop, in possession of a "street peddler", etc. And I scribe my initials and "mark" on the tools, also. I record serial numbers on the original receipts, also, and file those, separately, in the "important documents" filing cabinet. I have/take inventory pictures of tools, supplies, lumber, etc., in case of hurricane, tornado, fire and/or other damaging situations, for insurance purposes. Sonny |

You don't need a computer to get an e-mailed receipt. You only need an e-mail address. You can access that through a smart phone, iPad or the like, TV, public computer. etc. |

I actually do, my parents, but they are into their 90's, and not changing anytime soon. I would like to think that unless your credit card has an email addy on file for you the prompt would not even come up. -- Froz... The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance. |

I do know that whenever I send someone with my company HD card to purchase something needed right away, I insist they say "yes" to the prompt, and I get a receipt immediately on my phone or tablet, and without them having to enter an email address - otherwise I may not get the physical receipt at all by the end of the day. I live and die by budgetary accountability, and receipts are mandatory, so love the feature myself ... then again, it is not unusual for me to charge in high five figures at each of the BORGS on one project. The ability to logon to HD and Lowe's websites and download all the purchase and return receipts, over a range of specified dates, is a real handy feature when accountability is priority one. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |
