How to save at HP: the smartest ways

Buying directly from HP.com gives you access to programs that most retailers selling HP products don't have. As of September 2026, these are the most useful ways to lower your price:

1. Shop through a membership store if you qualify. The HP Education Store advertises up to 40% off everyday prices for university students and teachers. Military members, healthcare workers and first responders can join the HP Frontline Heroes Store for member pricing.
2. Ask for a price match before you check out. If Dell.com, Lenovo.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Newegg.com, Staples.com or TigerDirect.com sells a matching item for less, contact HP sales by phone or chat before you buy.
3. Request price protection after you buy. If the HP.com price drops during your return period, you may be able to get a refund of the difference. Big promotional events are excluded.
4. Join HP Rewards. You earn points on qualifying printers, business PCs, ink and accessories, and you get a registration bonus when you sign up.
5. Check the weekly deals and daily deals pages. HP rotates short-term discounts. Keep in mind that these limited-time deals don't qualify for price matching or price protection.
6. Configure your own PC. Build-to-order models let you skip upgrades you don't need, which can cost less than buying a higher preset model.
7. Save on ink with a subscription if you print often. HP's Instant Ink subscription can cost less than buying cartridges one at a time. Compare it with your actual page count before you sign up.
8. Look at refurbished and clearance items. They can be much cheaper, though they're excluded from price matching.

Shipping & delivery options

As of September 2026, HP.com offers free standard shipping on PCs and other eligible products, including ink, toner and paper. Standard delivery usually takes 5-7 business days. HP doesn't list an order minimum for the free shipping offer.

• Express and priority shipping are available in most US locations for an extra fee, shown at checkout.
• Excluded items in an order are charged shipping, but only for those items.
• Digital items like software downloads and Care Packs arrive by email.
• Custom-configured PCs can take longer to ship than in-stock models, so check the estimated ship date before you order.

HP.com has no in-store pickup. If you want same-day pickup, you'll need to buy from a retail partner, which has its own policies.

Return & exchange policy

Most HP.com purchases can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Key details:

• Non-returnable: most software (unless it's physical media still sealed), gift cards, and large-format printers unless they're defective. Parts Store items, Instant Ink and All-In Plan subscriptions follow separate rules.
• Restocking fees: HP's policy says no restocking fee applies to consumers buying for personal use, or to defective items and HP errors. Business purchases may follow different terms.
• Refunds: refunds go only to your original payment method. HP takes up to about 5 business days to validate a return, and your bank may take a few more days to post it.

HP Rewards explained

HP Rewards is a free points program for US consumers 18 and older with an HP Store account. Approved small businesses with fewer than 250 employees can also join.

• Earning: points are based on what you spend on qualifying products. These include select printers, business PCs (Elite, Pro and Workstation lines), select monitors, accessories, Care Packs, and select ink, toner and paper. You get bonus points just for registering.
• Posting: points show up as pending about 36 days after your order ships.
• Expiration: once available, points last 180 days.
• Redeeming: use points toward qualifying products on HP.com or by phone. Points have no cash value.
• Not eligible: customers enrolled in other HP discount programs, such as some membership stores, can't also earn HP Rewards.

HP also offers the HP Credit Account, issued by Comenity Capital Bank. It has promotional financing plans, but they're deferred-interest: if you don't pay the promo balance in full within the promotional period, interest is charged from the purchase date.

Student, military, teacher, senior & other discounts

• HP Education Store: for university students and teachers, with up to 40% off everyday prices advertised.
• HP Frontline Heroes Store: for military members, healthcare workers and first responders, with exclusive pricing and promotions.
• HP Business Club: for small business owners, with preferred business pricing and financing.

Membership stores also include free shipping storewide. HP doesn't advertise a dedicated senior discount.

Price matching & price adjustments

Price match (before you buy): HP matches direct-fulfilled, pre-tax prices from Dell.com, Lenovo.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, TigerDirect.com, Newegg.com and Staples.com. Printers, displays and accessories need an exact model match, while PCs need comparable specs. Excluded: daily or intraday deals, in-store-only and limited-time promotions, membership clubs, refurbished items, bundles, coupons and trade-in offers.

Price protection (after you buy): if HP.com lowers the price during your return period, contact Order Support with your order number. The item must be an exact match and still in stock. Excluded: business-series PCs (ZBook, Elite, Pro), final-sale items, doorbusters, Deal of the Day items, and Thanksgiving and Cyber Week sales.

Payment options

HP.com accepts major credit cards, PayPal, Affirm and Klarna, plus the HP Credit Account and HP gift cards. Promotional financing depends on credit approval.

When HP has its biggest sales

• Back-to-school (July-September): laptop and education-store promotions.
• Black Friday and Cyber Week (late November): usually the deepest PC and printer discounts, though these sales are excluded from price protection.
• Holiday season (December): gift-focused deals on laptops, monitors and accessories.
• Spring and Presidents Day sales: discounts often land as new models launch and older models are cleared out.

Exact dates change every year, so check the weekly deals page.

How to use an HP promo code

1. Add items to your cart on HP.com. Sign in to your membership store first if you're eligible.
2. In the cart, enter the code in the coupon field and click apply.
3. Check that the discount appears before you pay.

Common exclusions: codes may exclude daily deals, business-series PCs, Instant Ink and gift cards. They often can't be combined with membership-store pricing or other offers, and orders that use coupons aren't eligible for price matching.
