Home Depot will take it back. You may need get a manager and tell him

fairly with me when I had a problem. Here I simply purchased the wrong

Much easier than that. Just take it in and tell them you want to return it.
Read the big sign right up over the returns counter.

They may, now, charge a ten (10%) percent re-stock fee - look at your
receipt - it tells you.


HD company policy is not to charge a returns (restock) fee.

Push. Squeaky wheels gret the grease.

A few years back my wife and I looked at a Rubbermaid 7 x 7 shed with
a big sign declaring it was $347 or so. After checking Lowes down the
road (theirs was nearer six hundred) we returned to the order desk and
tried to buy it. They said they had no 7x7 shed at that price. After
checking, they asked if I had see the five hundred plus sticker on the
shelf, above.

We replied, "We saw nothing on a shelf, we walked inside it."

Long story short, I got it for the mis-marked price less ten-percent
for putting it on my new HD card. Ah, grease.


That's standard practice for mismarked items as long as it is clear that the
item was really mismarked and not a case of the wrong signage having been
moved in front of a product. Usually it's easy to tell the difference
because the signage has the sku number right on it. Not really a matter of
squeaky wheel/grease though - just standard business practice.
