Office Depot gives you 90 days to return basic office supplies, but technology products drop to just 14 days — and without the original receipt, tech items generally can't be returned at all.
Technology Returns Require the Original Receipt
While most office supplies can be returned within 90 days and refunded as store credit even without a receipt, technology products are stricter: without the original receipt, they're generally not eligible for return at all. Software, CDs, DVDs, and video games without a receipt are limited to an exact-item exchange rather than any kind of refund or credit.
