Home and Garden: Tax-Free Furniture, Appliances and Outdoor Living

The ShopMyExchange Home and Garden department helps military families furnish, equip and maintain their homes — whether that is on-post housing at Fort Liberty, an off-post apartment near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, or a new home after PCS. Every item is tax-free, from a $3,000 sectional sofa to a $30 set of kitchen utensils.

Furniture, major appliances, bedding, kitchenware, outdoor grills, lawn equipment and home decor are all available through ShopMyExchange with delivery options that include white-glove service for large items and standard shipping to APO/FPO addresses for smaller goods.

Shop Home and Garden by Category

From kitchen appliances to backyard grills, the Exchange home department covers every room and every outdoor space.

Furniture and Mattresses

ShopMyExchange carries living room, bedroom and dining furniture from brands like Ashley, Serta and Simmons. Military families moving to a new duty station frequently purchase furniture through the Exchange because of the tax-free pricing and the ability to schedule delivery to coincide with their PCS arrival date. A $2,500 bedroom set purchased tax-free saves $150 to $239 in sales tax compared to the same purchase at a civilian furniture store.

Mattresses from Serta, Sealy, Beautyrest and Purple are available in all standard sizes. Free delivery is offered on most mattress purchases to CONUS addresses and select on-post locations at OCONUS installations.

Kitchen and Small Appliances

The kitchen section includes major appliances from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and GE alongside small appliances from KitchenAid, Ninja, Cuisinart and Instant Pot. Coffee makers, air fryers, blenders and stand mixers are consistently among the top sellers in the home department. All are tax-free with MILITARY STAR card financing available on larger purchases.

The Exchange also stocks a full range of cookware, bakeware, cutlery and kitchen storage. Families setting up a new household after PCS can furnish an entire kitchen through ShopMyExchange and save hundreds in sales tax compared to shopping at civilian retailers.

Outdoor Living and Garden

Weber and Traeger grills, patio furniture sets, lawn mowers, string trimmers, pressure washers and garden tools are all available tax-free. Families stationed at installations with base housing particularly value the outdoor living section — a Weber Genesis grill purchased tax-free at the Exchange saves $60 to $95 compared to the same grill at a home improvement store in a high-tax state.

Seasonal items including patio heaters, fire pits, outdoor lighting and holiday decorations round out the garden department. The Exchange frequently runs promotions on outdoor furniture during spring and summer months that are coordinated with the U.S. General Services Administration procurement schedules.

PCS Moving and Home Setup

The Exchange understands the PCS cycle. These services are designed to make setting up your new home as smooth as possible.

Pre-Arrival Ordering

Order furniture, appliances and home essentials to your new duty station before you arrive. Schedule delivery for your move-in date so your new home is ready when you get there. Available at most CONUS installations and select OCONUS locations.

White-Glove Delivery

Large furniture and major appliances are delivered with white-glove service including room placement, assembly and packaging removal. This service is available for a flat fee and covers most on-post and nearby off-post addresses.

STAR Card Financing

Qualifying home purchases over $399 are eligible for 0% interest financing on the MILITARY STAR card. Spread the cost of furnishing a new home over 12 months with no added cost — a significant benefit during the financial strain of a PCS move.
