@HU-694292508 I feel your pain. We ordered a cabinet refacing of our kitchen and upstairs bathrooms in mid-February. They were promised in 6-8 weeks. Nine weeks out they scheduled the install for the second week of May. Two days before then, they called to move it out two more weeks. We were getting our house ready to list and the cabinet refacing was the last (and biggest/most expensive) thing left to do. The installer came on the appointed day, did the kitchen installation but discovered that the bathroom materials were never ordered. He placed the order that day but the ETA was mid-July. I was SO mad. But I was very lucky. Our installer was a nice guy who gave me numbers of some higher-ups to call (so I overlooked the HUGE mess he and his crew made). I was very polite but firm to everyone I called. A regional installation manager arranged for a custom cabinet maker to make some temporary doors/drawer for our bathrooms so we could list our house. The installer also found that a pair of cabinet doors in the kitchen had been measured wrong. He had to trim one of them to get them installed. He took the measurements for those too. No one could give me an ETA of those doors. They were ordered on 5/19. Thursday 7/22 we closed on our house. Friday 7/23 in the middle of moving out I got a call from Home Depot Installations to schedule installation of that last pair of cabinet doors. HA! I left a note for the new owners. I am so glad to be done with Home Depot and I won't buy so much as a pack of yard bags from them again.

Did it work? Looking at doing the same

If you end up having to keep them because it's a no return or you don't want to pay the restocking fee you can save them for another part of your house like your garage, you could probably sell them on Facebook or NextDoor, and there's donating them to Habitat ReStore. It's possible if they're in perfect, new condition (and you can validate it) they may install them in a new home if there is enough of them and they fit the house. It's not common to use ReStore items but I've seen brand new stuff come from Lowe's and back out for a home install.

Just a quick update here, I still haven't made a final decision, but we did get a design done for Kraftmaid from Home Depot. It came in higher than I expected at $14k (after their recurring 30% discount that happens about once a month). We're going to get a design in American Woodmark to compare, even though I understand the quality is a little lower. @User, I contacted the only local dealer for Kraftaid. They actually recommended I go with Bellmont instead, which is made locally here in Washington State. They said Bellmont was generally less expensive than Kraftaid. So they did a design for Bellmont, just a basic starting point, and it came in at $16k. So it seems like the local dealer is more expensive than Home Depot. FWIW, we ruled out Ikea because we need corner cabinets that cut across at an angle, rather than meeting at 90 degrees in the corners. We are replacing existing cabinets with the same footprint and the floor underneath the cabinets is unfinished, so it does need to match.
