The holiday shopping season has unofficially started, with early deals rolling in from many retailers already, including Home Depot's BOGO deals.

They have plenty of options to choose to speak with a specialist in the specific area you need. But if you don't think your issue fits into any of the categories and you need to speak with a live agent, call 1-800-566-3337 and select the option "0," then "0" again, then "6," and finally "2."
