Does Office Depot Price Match?

Verified 2026

Office Depot matches a lower price from qualifying competitors at purchase or within 14 days after — and since it owns OfficeMax, matching between the two is essentially automatic.

Same Company, Same Price Match

As covered in Office Depot's return policy article, Office Depot and OfficeMax operate as one company following their 2013 merger, so Office Depot's price match guarantee naturally covers OfficeMax pricing too. The guarantee applies to US stores (all 50 states plus Puerto Rico) and Officedepot.com against a list of qualifying competitors.

When it applies At the time of purchase, or as a refund of the difference within 14 days after purchase
OfficeMax pricing Covered, since Office Depot and OfficeMax are the same company
Item match requirement New, identical, in-stock item at the qualifying competitor
Proof required Competitor's printed ad, in-store signage, receipt, photo of signage, or online offer showing the price and model number
Not eligible Taxes, ad errors, closeout/clearance/liquidation items, out-of-stock items, free product offers, special orders, gift card offers, refurbished items, and holiday sales including Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Because Black Friday and Cyber Monday pricing is specifically excluded, don't expect a price match during those events even from a qualifying competitor.
