The Home Depot Brings 20,000+ Products to Overseas Bases via Military Exchanges

The Home Depot is launching APO/FPO delivery to provide overseas military families with tax-free access to over 20,000 home improvement products. Through a strategic partnership with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and Navy Exchange (NEX), active-duty service members and veterans stationed abroad can now purchase essential goods via the Military Exchanges for delivery directly to their bases. While shipping is facilitated via USPS to meet military security requirements, the program is exclusively accessed through these Exchange partnerships.

Q&A: How the New Military Exchange Shipping Works

What does the new APO/FPO delivery program enable?

The program allows military members stationed overseas to purchase home improvement products through The Home Depot's Military Exchange partnership and have them shipped to Army Post Office (APO), Diplomatic Post Office (DPO), and Fleet Post Office (FPO) addresses.

Why is The Home Depot launching this initiative now?

The Home Depot is committed to supporting the military community by providing the same tax-free benefits and wide product assortment to those serving abroad as those stationed stateside.

Which military branches are eligible for this service?

Delivery is now expanding to include all exchange-eligible shoppers living at an APO, FPO, or DPO address.

Additionally, eligible members living stateside can use this service to purchase and send products to military friends or family members living abroad. Eligible members include active-duty, National Guard, Reservists, retirees, honorably discharged veterans, and Department of War (DoW) civilians. As long as the purchaser is eligible to shop through the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) or Navy Exchange (NEX), they can facilitate tax-free delivery to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses.

How can customers access these overseas shipping options?

Customers can shop through the Military Exchange (AAFES/NEX) to unlock the new delivery capabilities.

Bridging the Gap for Military Families

Stationed far from home, military families often face limited options for home improvement and essential maintenance goods. By unlocking APO/FPO delivery, The Home Depot reinforces its military value ecosystem, ensuring that "doers" can get more done, regardless of their geographic coordinates. By providing a seamless shopping experience for the 250,000 households living on overseas bases, The Home Depot strengthens long-term brand loyalty within a uniquely dedicated customer segment.
