Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
The Home Depot announced it is now offering tax-free shopping to more military families nationwide with the expansion of its partnerships with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and the Navy Exchange Service Command.
The program, initially applied to only large appliances, has expanded to include almost all online products for over 34 million eligible military exchange customers. Products like power tools, outdoor power equipment, grills, garden tools, ceiling fans and more are now available as part of the program.
All active-duty service members, dependents, retirees, national guard members, reservists, coast guard members and honorably discharged veterans and their dependents are eligible for the tax-free shopping experience through military exchange with the program.
“The Home Depot has been a longtime supporter of veteran causes, giving back through career opportunities, professional trades training, community investments and accessible housing initiatives,” says Jordan Broggi, executive vice president of customer experience and president, online. “Offering the military community greater benefits is one additional way we can support military members and their families after they’ve given us so much.”
Shopping on the Army & Air Force Exchange and Navy Exchange Service Command websites will continue to offer lifelong benefits to all who served, including free shipping on major appliances and a 10% military discount on full-priced, non-appliance merchandise—extending the same discount that is also available on homedepot.com—in addition to tax-free shopping.
“This is a major quality-of-life enhancement for our nation’s soldiers, airmen, guardians and their families,” says exchange director and CEO Tom Shull. “Offering an expanded assortment of discounted products from The Home Depot is a force multiplier for our heroes who have earned tax-free savings and military-exclusive pricing for life using their ShopMyExchange.com benefit.”
