How to Return Blinds to Home Depot: A Guide for Customers

Home Depot offers a wide selection of stylish yet affordable blinds to suit any window and budget. However, sometimes blinds end up not meeting your needs or expectations once installed and you wish you could get your money back or exchange them for another option. Fortunately, Home Depot does allow blind returns and exchanges under certain conditions.

If your new blinds from Home Depot are not satisfying you, don’t despair. Read on to learn how their return and exchange policy works for blinds and what steps you need to take. We’ll outline what factors determine your eligibility for a refund, replacement or in-store credit so you know what to expect before starting the return process.

You can return most new, unopened blinds sold by Home Depot within 90 days of purchase, unless they are custom-made or have some exceptions. You need to have a valid proof of purchase, such as a receipt or a shipping confirmation email, and the original form of payment. You can return the blinds to any Home Depot store or start your return online.

What Are the Return Policy Exceptions for Blinds?

Home Depot has a general return policy that applies to most products sold by the store, including blinds. However, there are some exceptions that you need to be aware of before you attempt to return your blinds. These exceptions are:

• Custom-made blinds: Any custom product ordered from the Home Depot Design Center or custom blinds cannot be returned since they cannot be resold by the store. In the case of blinds, you may be able to exchange them as long as they meet the same specifications as the original purchase and are exchanged within two weeks.
• Damaged or defective blinds: If the blinds you received are damaged or defective, you can return them within 90 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange. However, if the damage or defect is due to improper installation, misuse, abuse, or normal wear and tear, you may not be eligible for a refund or exchange.
• Cut-to-size blinds: If you bought blinds that were cut to size at the store or online, you can return them within 90 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange, as long as they are in new and unused condition. However, if you cut the blinds yourself after purchase, you may not be able to return them.
• Online purchases: If you bought blinds online from Home Depot, you can return them within 90 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange. You can either return them to any Home Depot store or start your return online by clicking the “Return Items” button on your order confirmation email. You will receive a shipping label via email to print and attach to your package. You can drop it off at your nearest UPS Access Point location.

How to Return Blinds to Home Depot?

If your blinds are eligible for return and you have a valid proof of purchase and the original form of payment, you can follow these steps to return them to Home Depot:

1. Pack the blinds in their original packaging or a similar box with adequate padding and protection. Include all components and accessories that came with the blinds.
2. Bring the blinds, along with your proof of purchase and the original form of payment, to any Home Depot store. You can find your nearest store by using the store locator tool on Home Depot’s website.
3. Go to the customer service desk and explain that you want to return your blinds. The associate will scan your proof of purchase and process your refund or exchange according to your preference. Refunds will be issued to the original form of payment, unless otherwise noted in the return policy exceptions. Exchanges will be subject to availability and price adjustments.
4. Alternatively, if you bought your blinds online, you can start your return online by clicking the “Return Items” button on your order confirmation email. You will receive a shipping label via email to print and attach to your package. You can drop it off at your nearest UPS Access Point location.
