Home Depot Price Match & Price Adjustment Policy (2026)

Does Home Depot price match?

Yes. Home Depot will match a lower price from a qualifying retailer on the identical item, as long as the competitor has it in stock. You can do this in the store at checkout, or by calling customer service for online orders. Home Depot keeps its rules on its official price match page, so check there for the latest version.

Here's how the policy has been reported in 2026.

What Home Depot matches

• Competitors like Lowe's, Menards, Ace Hardware and other legitimate local retailers.
• Amazon only when Amazon itself sells and ships the item.
• The same model number, in stock, at the competitor's current price.

Bring proof: a screenshot or the competitor's page with the price and model number.

Does Home Depot price match Amazon?

Yes, with conditions. Reports say Home Depot matches Amazon only when the item is sold and shipped by Amazon, not by a marketplace seller. It must be the exact same model, in stock, and not part of a special event like a Black Friday deal. Show the Amazon page with the price and model number at checkout, or call customer service before ordering online.

Does Home Depot price match Wayfair or other online stores?

Reports describe the policy as covering retailers with physical stores, like Lowe's and Menards, plus Amazon when Amazon sells and ships the item. Online-only stores aren't clearly covered. If you see a lower price at Wayfair or another site, ask before you buy and be ready for a no.

What Home Depot doesn't match

• Clearance and closeout prices.
• Open-box, damaged, refurbished and renewed items.
• Marketplace sellers (eBay, Facebook Marketplace and similar).
• Membership warehouse clubs.
• Special events like Black Friday doorbusters and limited-quantity deals.
• Bundles and freebies. Home Depot matches the item price, not a free add-on.

Price matching usually can't be combined with coupons or percent-off discounts.

Why clearance isn't matched

Clearance prices are set store by store to move out specific stock, so they're excluded from price matching. That means you can't take another Home Depot's clearance tag to your store and ask for the same price, even if it's the same item. If you want that deal, you have to go to that store. That's where a tool that shows clearance at every store near you helps.

Does Home Depot do price adjustments after purchase?

2026 reports say Home Depot gives a price adjustment within 30 days of purchase if the price drops, when you bring your receipt or order number and proof of the lower price. Confirm with your store, since policies change.

How to know when a price drops

Watching prices by hand is tedious. The PennyLoot Price Tracker checks the price of products you plan to buy at your 5 nearest Home Depot stores every day and emails you when it drops. It works on regular, full-price items, not just clearance, so you can buy at the right time or ask for an adjustment.

How to ask for a price match

In the store:

1. Find the identical item (same model number).
2. Pull up the competitor's current price on your phone, or bring their ad.
3. Show it to the cashier before you pay.

Online or by phone:

1. Call Home Depot customer service before placing the order.
2. Give them the competitor link and model number.

Price match vs. price adjustment vs. clearance

Can you match another Home Depot store?

2026 reports say Home Depot will usually honor its own lower price between in-store and homedepot.com, and often a lower price at another Home Depot with proof. Clearance prices are the exception, because they're set by each store for its own stock. Ask politely, and accept the store's decision.

Tips for getting the best price

• Compare the model number exactly. Small letter differences mean different models.
• Check stock at the competitor before asking.
• Use the Home Depot app to compare your store's price with homedepot.com.
• Track prices on big purchases with the Price Tracker, so you know the moment it drops.

Quick checklist

1. Same model number, in stock at the competitor.
2. Proof of the current price.
3. Not clearance, open-box, marketplace or a doorbuster.
4. Within 30 days if you're asking for an adjustment.
