Exceptions to the 90-Day Policy

While the standard return window is 90 days, certain items have different return time frames. Make note of these exceptions:

Return Policy for Major Appliances

When it comes to major appliances, such as refrigerators or washing machines, Home Depot’s return policy provides a window of 48 hours. It’s crucial to inspect the appliance carefully upon delivery and refuse it if it shows any signs of damage or defects.

If you miss the initial inspection and later discover an issue, contact Home Depot within 48 hours of delivery or pickup for assistance with the return.

Can Opened or Used Items Be Returned?

Officially, Home Depot does not accept opened or used items for returns. However, unofficially, they may consider such returns within 90 days if you have the original packaging and receipt. Whether a used item is eligible for return depends on the extent of wear and tear, usually assessed on a case-by-case basis.

For a successful return, it helps if the item was minimally used, cleaned thoroughly, and you’re open to receiving store credit or an exchange.

Convenience of Order Retrieval

An advantageous aspect of Home Depot’s return policy is that they can often retrieve your order from their system using the credit or debit card you used for the purchase.

Returning Without a Receipt

If you paid with cash or a Home Depot gift card, Home Depot usually accepts returns for store credit even without a receipt. However, you may be required to present a valid ID, as returns without a receipt are tracked to prevent abuse of the policy.

Limitations on No-Receipt Returns

Although Home Depot’s website does not explicitly state any restrictions on no-receipt returns, some stores may have specific policies.

In some instances, items valued over $50 might require a receipt for return. If you’re returning a high-value item without a receipt, be aware that it could be rejected.

Returns Without Original Packaging

In most cases, Home Depot accepts returns even without the original box or packaging. However, acceptance may vary depending on the specific store and the employee handling the return. It’s worth noting that some customers have successfully returned items without the original packaging.

Non-Returnable Items

Certain items are not eligible for return at Home Depot. The current list includes:

  • Custom Tinted Paint (ensure you see the color before purchase)
  • “Oops” paint bought at a discount
  • Custom Blinds (only blinds labeled “Guaranteed to Fit” can be returned)
  • Utility Trailers
  • Generators
  • Gift Cards/Store Credits
  • Product Samples

Online Returns Made Easy

Home Depot offers a convenient online return system, allowing returns of both online purchases and in-store items. You can initiate an online return via UPS if you live far from a physical store or encounter difficulties visiting one.

However, be prepared to cover the return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error by Home Depot.

Restocking Fees for Special Orders

Special Order returns or cancellations might incur a restocking fee of 15%. It’s important to note this potential fee when considering returns of special order items.

Exercise Caution When Returning Major Appliances

Returning major appliances can be tricky, as Home Depot only accepts them if they are defective. Ensure you measure your space accurately before purchasing refrigerators, dryers, washing machines, or dishwashers. Some customers have

reported that Home Depot employees may not always provide this crucial information, so be cautious during your appliance shopping.

Flowers and Plants Return Policy

Home Depot offers an unconditional guarantee for tropical, house, and landscape plants for one year. If a plant dies within this period, bring back the remnants, the original pot, and your receipt for a replacement or refund.

If the exact plant is unavailable, a store credit will be issued. Keep in mind that annuals have a 90-day return window, while perennials, trees, and shrubs fall under the one-year guarantee.

With these comprehensive insights into Home Depot’s return policy, you can navigate the return process confidently and make the most of your shopping experience.
