Can I Return This?
How do I return a Christmas gift to Home Depot?
Short answer: Bring the gift, new and unopened with all components, to a Home Depot store with the receipt, or the order confirmation or packing slip for homedepot.com orders. Without a receipt, Home Depot can often look up the purchase (within 30 days for card or check payments), and many non-receipted returns need a photo ID.
Details
- Purchases paid with a gift card or store credit are refunded as store credit.
- Hazmat and fuel equipment often has to go back to a store rather than by mail.
How long you have
- Most new, unopened merchandise: 90 days; often 365 days on Home Depot credit/commercial accounts.
- Furniture, gas-powered equipment, generators, TVs and computers: 30 days.
- Not returnable: gift cards, custom paint samples, whole-house/stationary generators, utility trailers.
