The date math

Most merchandise (90 days): Nov 27 + 90 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, all of December brings it to 34, all of January brings it to 65, 25 more days = Feb 25, 2027. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 90 days: all of December brings it to 31, all of January brings it to 62, 28 more days = Feb 28, 2027.
Bought with a Home Depot Consumer Credit Card, Pro Xtra Credit Card or Commercial Account (365 days): Nov 27, 2026 + 365 days = Nov 27, 2027 (no Feb 29 in between, so it's the same date a year later). Cyber Monday: Nov 30, 2026 + 365 days = Nov 30, 2027 (no Feb 29 in between, so it's the same date a year later).
TVs and computers, furniture, gas-powered yard equipment, paint sprayers (30 days): Nov 27 + 30 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, 27 more days = Dec 27, 2026. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 30 days: 30 days into December = Dec 30, 2026.
Halloween and holiday decor (effective July 7, 2026) (30 days): Nov 27 + 30 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, 27 more days = Dec 27, 2026. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 30 days: 30 days into December = Dec 30, 2026.
Portable heaters, pumps, portable evaporative coolers, dehumidifiers, gas generators, gas pressure washers, window and portable ACs (7 days): Nov 27 + 7 days: 3 days gets you to Nov 30, 4 more days = Dec 4, 2026. Cyber Monday: Nov 30 + 7 days: 7 days into December = Dec 7, 2026.

How we count: the day after the purchase (or delivery) is day 1, so we add the number of days to the date. If a store counts the purchase day itself as day 1, the deadline is one day earlier. Aim to return a day early, and go by the date on your receipt or order page.

Traps to watch

The 30-day and 7-day items have to be unused and in their original factory-sealed packaging. An opened TV is a risk even inside 30 days.
Special-order returns or cancellations may carry a 15% restocking fee and must go back to the store where you bought them.
Without valid proof of purchase you may get store credit at the lowest advertised price, and you'll need photo ID.
Anything that uses flammable liquids or gas can't be mailed back. Return it to a store.

Price drops after Black Friday

Home Depot's price-match page says it excludes "Prices Offered During Black Friday or Other Limited-Time Promotions."
Home Depot normally adjusts the price if it drops within 30 days of purchase, but its FAQ says "products purchased during promotional events are excluded from price adjustments."
