FAQS

Our online system uses the receipt information you provide, specifically your receipt code, to search The Home Depot receipt database. If our online system sees your receipt in The Home Depot receipt database, it will then search for the item you are registering. Once it verifies the item and the receipt, you would receive a confirmation email to let you know your item is under the Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA). However, if it can’t verify the item and the receipt, you would receive an email that states “Action Required” and be asked to complete your registration by mail. Because it is possible that our online system will not be able to verify your registration online, both the final page of your online registration and the “Registration Submitted” email you receive explain, “If your product and/or proof of purchase information provided cannot be confirmed, you will be asked to submit your registration information by mail in order to complete the LSA approval process.”

While one possible stumbling block can be a simple typo when entering the information online, it is also possible it is an issue when The Home Depot receives/transmits their sales data, resulting in your accurate sales information not being in their database. Because we never want a customer to lose out on the LSA promotion because of a technical issue beyond the control of either you or us, our online system requests you complete your registration by mail when it cannot verify your purchase information electronically.

In most cases, your registration will be completed entirely through our automated system. In the unlikely event that our system cannot validate your sales receipt with The Home Depot’s sales information, we may request that you re-submit your registration by mail submit your receipt in order for us to process it manually.
