Method 4: Choose two different Home Depot locations for pickup. Use the text customer service feature on the website, cancel the unwanted item. Then go pick up the tool at the prorated discount…or “hack”. Took two minutes, no human interaction when using the text feature. I even double checked my order status and the batteries were cancelled as requested. Very easy, much smoother, and much faster👍

Doing the online cancel doesn't always work, even if you do it within the first 45 seconds. If it is a 3rd party vendor/shipper, then it is typically not able to be canceled, even if you call. Some times it does allow you to cancel, but you typically need to cancel the entire order.

My M12 battery wasn’t itemized on the receipt and I couldn’t return for a refund or for store credit even though they sell the battery.

You can also walk in and buy the tool and batteries and then just carry them over to the return desk immediately after and do the whoke process in 5 minutes. If its an online only deal, go pick the items off the shelf yourself, then purchase them online and choose pick up in store. Then just carry the tool n batteries to the service desk and tell them your order # and that yiu picked the items off the shelr yourself becahse u wanted the deal and found out its online only. Then tell them u want to return the batteries. Some cashiers may have an attitude about it. Others think its great you found a good deal. Ive dealt with both using this method

That's a good point. For some reason they don't always have the deals in stock at my local store so I just order them online.

​@LucidAutowerks How do you get the cheapest price when returning after purchase?

Beware, I have gone through plenty of purchases with HD. Sometimes in order to complete the return you will be required to return all items from the order. In my case not "Hacking" so much as genuinely not wanting one of the included promotional items. - Work Smart

It all depends on if the “free” tool is packaged together with the item or itemized with a return value on the receipt.

@@LucidAutowerks they had the reduced prices as your video showed. I was returning the tool hoping to get some milwaukee m18 CPs discounted lol. Glad it worked for ya though.

I’ve only hacked about 6 deals and only once they told me I couldn’t return my “free” battery unless I return all the items in the order. I just took my battery and went to another Home Depot and returned it no problem.

@@LucidAutowerksthat’s how Crocs get you. Funny enough they are in the movie Idiocracy right before they first became popular

One reason why they will stop doing deals like this.

Not true at all. If they cared they'd package them together and make you return both and not itemize them on the receipt.
