The Home Depot free shipping rules
The Home Depot says two-day delivery is free on thousands of eligible items, with no membership needed. Same-day delivery needs an order before noon and is not offered in every area. Most items can be picked up in store within two hours of ordering. Check your cart for the delivery cost on a given item.
- Free two-day delivery applies to eligible items only; it is not a store-wide minimum.
- In-store lockers can have an order ready in as little as two hours.
Ways to save on shipping at The Home Depot
- Check the cart for store pickup or ship-to-store options: where a store offers them, they usually avoid the delivery fee.
- If you are only a few dollars short, compare the gap with the shipping fee shown at checkout. Adding something you would buy anyway is only worth it if it costs less than the fee.
- Know the return rules first: on many sites, returning part of an order can reduce the refund if it drops you below the free shipping minimum.
Returns at The Home Depot
