Whether you bought tools, furniture, or home improvement supplies, sometimes you need to make a return. But what happens if you’ve lost the receipt? The good news is, Home Depot has a flexible return policy—even without proof of purchase. In this 2025 guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about returning items to Home Depot without a receipt.
Most new, unopened items can be returned within 90 days of purchase.
Home Depot Consumer Credit Card, Commercial Revolving Charge, and Commercial Account holders get 365 days to return.
Refunds are generally issued in the original form of payment.
But what if you don’t have the receipt? Let’s break it down.
Yes, but with some conditions. Home Depot can often look up your purchase in their system if you paid by:
Credit or Debit Card
Home Depot Store Credit Card
Home Depot Commercial Account
Check (with bank info)
If they can’t find your purchase record, you may still get a store credit refund—but only at the item’s lowest sale price within the last 90 days.
Go to the Customer Service desk with the item.
Provide the card or account you used to pay.
If your purchase is found, your refund will go back to the same payment method.
If not found, you may receive a Home Depot Store Credit.
Store credit is issued on a Home Depot gift card, but you’ll need to show a valid government-issued ID.
Not all products qualify for returns without a receipt. Some key exceptions in 2025 include:
Major Appliances (Refrigerators, Washers, Dryers, etc.) → Must have proof of purchase.
Generators → Not returnable once opened.
Custom Products (Blinds, Paints, Cut Materials) → Non-returnable.
Plants → 1-year guarantee, but proof of purchase is often required.
Purchase Found in System: Refund to your original payment method.
Purchase Not Found: Store credit issued at the lowest selling price.
Cash Purchases Without Receipt: Store credit only.
