Staples

I am someone who used to buy all my computers from Staples and the vast majority of my office supplies, too. However, I have to say that I will never buy another computer from them again. I even shudder now to buy so much as a pencil there. Let me share   Read full review...

As time goes on, I find it harder and harder to find ink cartridges for my all in one printer. So, last time I needed to shop for ink, I found Staples.com had the kind of ink I used, even a generic Staples brand that cost even less! So, I decided to give   Read full review...

I have shopped at Staples' stores about 15 years, and online for several years. I have a rewards card with them, so I receive free shipping. Some orders arrive the next day--must be my location because I've never been unhappy with their products (including their photo paper) or in store customer service. Returns are easy. I also like that you can return empty ink cartridges for $3 credit towards any staples purchase, and once a month they send you a check good for anything from staples (not limited to ink). Every few months I also receive coupons via e-mail for $10 off a total order. And they allow you to use more than one coupon per order (ink reward check plus coupon).

VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. THE SALESPERSON WAS EXTREMELY
HELPFUL, UNDERSTANDING, AND THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE
PRODUCTS. HIS ADVICE WAS VERY HONEST, NOT PUSHY AT ALL
AND HELPED ME MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

slower delivery than promised, sent duplicate order when they failed to track order. Customer service polite but unable to coordinate picking up duplicate shipment. Motto is 'that was easy.' Reality is they are big on promotion, less than competitive in pricing and the worst for getting your order delivered and serviced.

I am trying to get a price match from Staples compared against BestBuy.com for a WD Passport HD product but Staples customer service keeps telling me that i do not have the same model number. I checked the model number on the parent site for the product and from all the online sites its all the same except Staples site. So this is like Staples is cheating me by having a custom model for their site only that does not even match the model number on the parent wdc.com site also. This way Staples never has to match any price. Also when the item is in stock they did not respond to price match query and then say it is sold out. How can you have a custom number for Staples site and then say that it does not match other model numbers which are same for all the other sites.

DO NOT BUY COMPUTERS FROM STAPLES! Their extended warranty company "Assurant" did not honor my warranty, and denied repairing my notebook because they determined it was damaged by me, without actually diagnosing it and without providing reasonable or sufficient evidence to back it up. They just wouldn't cover it, and Staples refused to step in and help, and refused to even look at the notebook. It had no external damage, cracks, breakage, or anything!

Terrible. Stock systems is very poor and customer service is even worse. I had to reorder twice, to be canceled twice without notification. I would think if they canceled my order twice, they would try to keep me as a customer. Guess not! I all but cured from shopping at staples. The online experience is so poor that I'm definately not going to the B&M any longer either.

I ordered a telephone with an answering machine. When it arrived, it was broken, however the packaging was perfect. When I asked about getting another, I was told to go into the store. At my local staples store, they didn't want to do the exchange, even after speaking to the manager. At last I received a new one, but after about three weeks it completely died. I brought it back and was told after 14 days it's not staples problem. I went back to the on-line store and e-mailed my story and was told that staples does not back up the merchandise after 14 days. This was a $75 phone!

Placed an order with them and OVER A WEEK later had not heard a thing from them. They took the money from my credit card of course. Having to try and get some sense form them via emails was very painful I'd steer clear of them!!

Ordered a chair for someone as a Christmas present which was shown as Next Day Delivery.
Contacted them 12 days after ordering only to have them cancel the order saying there where stock difficulties with no other explanation or apology (5 days before Christmas!).

No other contact from them at all saying the order was delayed or out of stock.

TERRIBLE!!! They offered a camera and a free printer of your choice. The camera, was an OK price but I figured the free printer would seal the deal. They sent the camera quickly, then after that an email stating the order was closed and the printer was out of stock and they would not offer one at a comperable price.
What a ripoff. They still advertised the same deal on TV AFTER telling me it was out of stock. I heard of scams but never with a large company like staples, they suck...

On Black Friday 2006, at 6am, I purchased a 32" LCD from Staples.com, received a confirmation and an expected delivery date. At 12:10 the same day, I receive a call stating that they 1)did not have it in stock or 2) would not be getting any more. I asked what my options were, and was told to go to the Staples store to make the purchase. Being the sale was only from 6am to 10am, there was no way to make that happen, or to even go to another store as all stores had their specials done by noon. Beware!!!!

Staples.com is awesome, everything I have ever ordered has been in stock and on my doorstep the next day, just amazing. Make sure to apply for a free Staples Rewards Card, this is not a credit card, but with it you get free shipping, with no minimum!! How many stores offer that? Love this store!

Bought three Microsoft comfort keyboard and mouse packages in April. Cleaning people broke one leg off keyboard and offered to replace.

Microsoft advised they do not provide parts for keyboards and you have to buy a new unit.

Staples has it price at $80. I called customer service knowing it was a losing proposition.

Holly their csr from Nova Scotia (they work from home) offered to call MS and order the part explaining a new unit was missing one.

It will be here next week saving the cleaning people $80 and confirming my faith in Staples and my disgust for Microsoft.

Horrible phone customer service. I spoke to an extremely rude woman, Doris, regarding a replacement purchase plan on a calculator I purchased two years ago. When I asked to speak to someone else, she actually said, "So they might give you something you're not entitled to?" Then,s she compared by calculator purchase to a car purchase. When I indicated that it was not an appropriate comparison, she indicated I called her stupid. Unbelievable attitude. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY THE STAPLES PRODUCT REPLACEMENT PLAN. They do not stand behind what they tell you.

I find it hard to find what I need with the on line store. I think the services need to be reviewed.

First we ordered an executive desk chair, it came in two days, which was great but it was 4 metal folding chairs. So I called and they said that UPS would drop off a new chair and pick up the folding chairs. Well they double charged our account $200.00, without telling us, because they do not give a credit until the other merchandise is returned and the UPS guy did not pick up the folding chairs. It could take 10 days. Well they delivered the new executive chair. The other folding chairs are still waiting to be picked up. The new chair was broken. So they want to charge our account another $200.00 to send a new chair. If you have been adding that is $600.00 that they want us to float out of our checking account. I do not know about you but that is a lot for a family with 4 Children. I have gone through all this trouble and can not afford to do that so now I end up with no desk chair.
They offered no resolution.

Working in Manhattan one sees many Staples but the problem is the long lines to check out. So online ordering is the way to go. All I needed was toner for my printer. They have a great feature that allows you to find the right ink/toner for your printer without having to search to hard.

I ordered what I needed and it arrived the next day! Outstanding!

Staples could improve the look of their website (it's very unappealing) but all in all they have a pretty good site.

Be very careful when they say something is in stock. I have ordered 3 items from them in the last month that showed as in stock on their website but in reality would not be available for 3 weeks at least.

Next day FREE shipping, without any coupon necessary. I placed a late afternoon order and received it by 10 AM the next day! No problems with items being in-stock, even during the holidays. Site was difficult to navigate regarding rebates, but a phone call to customer service helped. Returns are no-hassle. Rebates are done online and are trackable. I would definitely use Staples online store again.

Delivery is very fast. If ordering before 4PM on a weekday, it will be processed that day, and shipped the next day. I ordered an inexpensive product from in the store online, and paid at the register. I like that I didn't need to provide my credit card online. There was a delivery fee, but the associate that helped me waived it. Staff in the store is very helpful, and their website is very Easy. Also, in general, they give lots of coupons, which save very much money.

Purchased memory for a PC. Used a Debit card. Returned the product for refund. Staples "put it back on my card" but did not mention it would take 3 days for the money to show up in my account. When I called, they said they do not usually tell people about the delay in the refunds.
Will not purchase anymore products there for me or for my government job.

Staples.com erroneously said an item was in stock and allowed me to order it. When they finally told me it was out of stock, it was too late to order it from another store in time for Christmas.

I ordered a answering machine/phone combo (Uniden CXAI5198) from Staples.com on Sunday in the week before Christmas 2005. The Staples.com web site said the item was "In Stock" and I received an immediate email saying the order was being processed. Two days later, I received an email saying the item was Out of Stock and that it might be back in 5-6 biz days. By that time, it was 3 days before Christmas and too late to order it from another source in time for Christmas.

When I complained to their Customer Service, they apologized but offered nothing more than to put it on backorder.

I ordered networking equipment that came with a rebate on the last day of the rebate only to try and redeem the rebates on-line and their system declined my rebate! I was moving and changing jobs so I didn't get a chance to argue with customer service about it so I would paying regular price for the items when I could have ordered the networking gear from somewhere else much cheaper. Believe what the other's say - their customer service and on-line system sucks. Stick with the store and paper rebates.

I cannot believe how dreadful their delivery/pick up service is. I have been let down three times by the delivery driver not turning up to pick up a broken chair. The first time they didn't put it on the system. Second time, who knows, I rang at 16:45 to ask where the driver was and was told that they work until 17:30 & to ring after that. I did and was told that management had gone home and they would just register my complaint. Another day another disappointment. Rang today 14/10 before 17:30 , spoke to a snotty nosed team manager who said he would not do anything until Monday. They would not get it picked up on Saturday as they don't work then and he wasn't going to give me any customer service and that was that. I'm so angry, my blood is boiling. Will never use them again. Complete & utter rubbish.

Where to start... First they mix up my order. They ship the wrong number of items, in their favor (surprise, surprise). After a week of phone calls, they reluctantly acknowledge their error and credit me for the missing items. Next, I submit a rebate using their Easy Rebate Center. I do everything as I am supposed to. I get an e-mail confirmation that my rebate has been accepted and a link to check the progress. I wait the 4-6 weeks for processing. Then I wait some more. Now it has been over 22 weeks. Their response is that they have no record of the rebate in their system, even though the record is as clear as day in the link they sent me. They later acknowledge that the record in the link is valid, but now they say they can not process the rebate because the rebate has expired. Duh! The rebate has been in their system for over 22 weeks and no one was processing it. This is the fourth rebate that Staples has refused to honor. So don't be fooled by their tempting "after-rebate" prices. You'll never see the rebate.
