The Home Depot has a pretty generous return policy that's perfect for people looking to pick up items at the Home Depot store or online for home improvement projects. Your local Home Depot likely accepts returns on most items in store. If you made an online purchase and had it delivered to your home, good news! The Home Depot even refunds original shipping charges in some cases. Let's take a closer look at Home Depot's return policy.

If it looks like new, unopened merchandise sold by this retailer can be returned within 90 business days of purchase, according to the store's website at homedepot.com. There's no restocking fee associated with items returned in this manner. Better yet, those with The Home Depot Consumer Credit Card, The Home Depot Commercial Revolving Charge, or The Home Depot Commercial Account have 365 days from the date of purchase to receive a full refund. Home Depot store credit cards always seem like something to dodge, but that seems like a pretty good deal!
How you'll get your refund depends on how you bought your DIY items. Returns for purchases that have valid proof of purchase can be exchanged, refunded in cash, credited to your account, or refunded via store credit, but that has to be determined by The Home Depot.
Refunds, for the most part, are issued to the original form of payment such as a credit card, PayPal, cash, etc. Anything bought with a gift card or a store credit will be refunded as store credit. Store returns like this are perfect for when you buy the wrong size of washers or screws and need to make a return trip to your local store to grab the right ones.
