Home Delivery Options & Costs
If a busy schedule stops you from shopping for the items you need in-store, then the retailer’s home delivery options are worth a closer look. Homedepot.ca will ship the products you need directly to your door so that you can cater to other needs in the meantime. To cover all of your needs, the retailer offers the following two delivery options:
- Standard Delivery – Flat Rate and Free Shipping Options
Standard shipping is the default shipping method for most products that weigh no more than 100 lbs. This option includes delivery by a small parcel carrier, and it typically takes 24 – 72 hours for the order to ship if all the items included in the order are available. You can find out more about the estimated delivery time for each item on the product’s information page.
As far as the shipping rates are concerned, they vary depending on your order weight, size, and destination, but there are also some free shipping options.
The retailer offers free parcel shipping on most qualifying online purchases over $35 without taxes. This applies to purchases made at www.homedepot.ca only. To see if a product qualifies for free shipping.
However, some restrictions apply. For example, this offer is available only within Canada, excluding the Territories (Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut) and select remote locations. For more on these restrictions, make sure to check the shipping FAQ page.
You will see that some items are marked with the Free Shipping logo, which means that they qualify for the free shipping promotion. Then there is the flat rate shipping on select products for a fixed cost, and you can find out more about that by checking the product’s information page. In this case, too, some restrictions apply.
- Express Delivery
If you need the products you order as soon as possible, you might want to consider the express delivery option. You can thus have the items delivered the same day (within 3 hours) or choose a delivery time that suits your availability. Not all articles are available for express delivery, though, and information regarding their eligibility is available on the product page.
Generally, express delivery rates are higher, given that you receive the products sooner than when opting for standard delivery. However, to find out the exact cost for this option, you will have to enter your postal code on the product page or in your cart to determine the delivery fee.
According to the information available on the retailer’s page, there is also a flat fee, which means that you can order as many products as you need for a fixed delivery fee. Such orders are typically left to the closest dry area outside your home, that is, your front door, driveway, or porch.
Free In-Store or Curbside Pickup
In case you want to save both time and money, you can simply buy online and pick up your order in-store or curbside. This option will save you the regular shipping fees. Plus, it is a convenient option if you aren’t home during the day to accept packages. Curbside pickup is available at all Home Depot stores in Canada, except Vancouver’s Cambie location.
Placing an in-store/curbside pick-up order is nothing complicated and goes as follows:
- Once you’ve added the items of interest to your shopping cart, select the Pick Up In-Store/Curbside Pickup option from the options in your cart, as well as the store where you would like to pick them up from.
You will receive an email confirming your order. However, you will also receive a second email that will let you know when your order is ready for pickup.
- If you’ve selected the “Pick Up In-Store” option, head to the store to collect your order from the in-store service desk only after you receive the second email. Your order number and photo ID are required, so make sure to have them ready.
In case you opted for curbside pickup, you will have to park in the designated pickup area, open the ready for pick-up email on your mobile device and then tap the “I’m Here” button. An associate will then bring your order to your car.

Besides these two options, the retailer also offers locker pick-up, so you may receive an email that your order is ready for pickup and is located in such a locker. These lockers are usually located at the front of the store. You will receive a QR code or a 6-digit locker code to open the locker.
