OfficeMax

I tried to order a laptop from their website the day before Black Friday. The item was available, but the website pages took forever to load and gave me plenty of error messages. At the end, I never received an order confirmation email or an order number. But my AMEX card has been debited twice! So far, my email to customer support has yet to be answered. I will dispute the charges with AMEX. Lousy customer service and web support!!!

Before ordering from OfficeMax.com you should probably check to see how your order will be delivered.  I ordered a computer monitor as a Christmas gift.  Within 24 hours I received an email notifying me that the monitor had shipped.  I   Read full review...

I ordered through office max and bought my hp laptop. I would like to inform everyone that this is the worst customer service that i have ever gone through. This has happened to me twice through this  company.  I have gone through the hassle of trying to get my laptop off back order (out of stock and they are ordering more) for the past 10 days. I have been lied to by the customer service 3 times now. The first one told me what their website said "it will be their in 1-3 days. The second one told me that it was on backorder and that "it will take 15-30 days to get. An hour later i recieved an email that it was being shipped "from another warehouse and will arive in 5-7 days from the purchase date". When i call again, i am told that it will take 7-10 days. So finally when i called today, i am told it is cancelled because they are all gone. This is a complete waste of time. Do not order from them. I will EVER go through this company again an do not recomend anyone else does either.

I ordered a Lexmark C500n printer on-line. On completing the order process, a message was displayed saying an e-mail confirmation had been sent to me. The e-mail never arrived.
I e-mailed Office Max and received a reply the following day, which was apologetic but assured me my order had been received.

The following day, I got a phone call from Office Max customer support asking me to verify my shipping address, which I did. The rep. then said she would "go ahead and release the order".

The following day, I received an e-mail saying that the product would be shipped from a different warehouse which may extend the delivery time. As I had no idea where it was intended to be shipped from in the first place, this was meaningless to me.

Later the same day, I received an e-mail saying the product was out of stock and discontinued and therefore my order was canceled.

What a huge waste of time. No more Office Max for me!

Office Max has a very bad reputation for misleading information. This methodology of theirs is called "FALSE ADVERTISEMENT", and is against the law. They mislead clients with false advertising TO GET THEM TO their stores or online store with false PRICES. FOR EXAMPLE: Announcing on Shopping.com a price that when you click will take you to the exact item priced $100 or more dollars on top of the advertised price. I will surely get my word of mouth around. They did not even have the decensy to honor the advertised price for me ALTHOUGH I PRINTED THE PAGE as proof.
I have placed a report on them with the Bureau false advertising! The worst reputation for a company is bad word of mouth!
I think Shopping.com should ban this type of seller!

Probably one of the easiest purchases I've made. I walked into the store, found someone in a company shirt and handed her the previous package of the ink I was looking for.

I bought an office chair on-line from OfficeMax TWO MONTHS AGO. Four weeks into waiting, I was assured it took a little longer because I picked the fabric out myself. I just called again, another month gone by and now they tell me I probably will not be getting it.

Office Max has good sale prices, but lousy selection, a second-rate website, and inept service.

OfficeMax.com is a pain to navigate, especially when you don't know the exact model number of the item you want. I THOUGHT that I found what I wanted and ordered it. Their website doesn't give package tracking information, so I had to call customer service to get my UPS tracking number and find out when my order would arrive. When it arrived, I found out the website incorrectly described the item I ordered, so I had to return it. Their customer service told me I could return the item for a refund to a local store, but they said they could only give me a store credit. I wanted to order the item they described (Bush Pencil Drawer AC99850), but since they don't have it in their catalog, I can't order it from them.

Check out their prices, but buy from somewhere else with a price-matching policy and better service.

I also posted this review to OfficeMax's page, as that is the merchant that shows up on the furniture product pages that redirect to OfficeMax.com.

bait and switch.

I shopped for the lowest price on adobe photoshop elements plus premier elements and office max was listed as lowest price. when I attempted to purchase the item, low and behold the price was for adobe photoshop elements only, a few pennies less than retail. Had I not scrutinized the order carefully, I would have been boned and not gotten what I thought I had purchased. I chose the next lowest bidder, nothingbutsoftware and saved 35 bucks over what office max wanted (once I finally located the correct product). Additionally, according to office max, I could get it in just nine days

I clicked through a website (www.publishersindexrating.com) to purchase some needed software and paper. OfficeMax had it so I ordered it. Products were in good shape, delivery was on time. My online experience was better than my instore experience. That's been true with Office Depot also.

After placing an order online for an Olympus digital camera, and going through the prompts confirming the camera was available, and available with next day (or 2-3 day delivery at worst)delivery. I got an email the next day delaying the delivery date to 5-7 days. Had it not been for the holidays, which is when I wanted to use the camera, I might have waited. I called them, got a rep who said "what do you want me to do, drive it to your house" and hung up. After numerous calls, and 30 dollars for overnight shipping charges, the I got the camera.

Okay. So, I was looking for a piece of merchandise, which I found at Officemax.com for a good price. First, I went to the store, and asked if they had it. They said no, but they would be able to order it from the manufacturer. So, I thought well how much harm could be done. Ordered on Dec 12. Status said would be shipped by Dec. 15. By Dec. 20, it still hadn't shipped, and the website still claimed "will ship by Dec. 15." So, after calling Office Max's 1-800 number, only to find out that that specific model had been discontinued, and mislabled on their site, I checked my e-mail. I had recieved an email from them saying that my order had been canceled, when in fact I had not cancelled it. Now, the product is no longer on their site, but the status shows "has been shipped and will arrive by Dec 15." I also got no tracking number. I will never buy from Office Max again!!!

I placed an order for copying. After three days with no response, I tried to cancel it online. They wrote back and said that I needed to call the store. When I called the store, I was put on hold for a long time and had to deal with surly people. I don't think they want my business.

We ordered new desks and other furniture from Orifice max (misspelling is intentional)and when it didn't arrive as promised we learned some very interesting things. First, Orifice Max doesn't handle these orders themselves, in this case it went through O'Sullivan who subcontracted it to a local vendor in our area. The local vendor, which Orifice Max can't or won't name, refuses to deliver our merchandise until O'Suffivan gives them the proper order numbers. I suspect that someone isn't paying their bills or the mystery subcontractor might be more reasonable. Hummm? Anyway many, many calls to customer service have taught us that Orifice Max has four customer service call centers and that each time one calls a different, but totally clueless rep. handles the call. Finally a "manager" Fred Prince was given the problem. When we were transfered to his office, our call was mysteriously "dropped." After subsequent calls we got a direct extension to his line and several calls later we keep getting his voice mail saying he is "away from the desk or helping another customer." Isn't that convenient? In the meantime we are working out of boxes, sitting on the floor, and getting madder and madder.

The Positive

OfficeMax frequently sends out great coupon savings, which can really assist smaller home-based businesses.

The Negative

1. The web site for ordering is VERY slow;
2. The selection is very poor. For example, the only type of white No. 9 envelope they carry on-line is a window envelope. They also do not carry Avery mini-sheet labels (which are very popular) and many other popular items;
3. Their customer service is horrific;
4. Ordering on-line OR on the telephone is NOT a fast and simple project. Today I spent more than an HOUR on-line to place a simple order.

OfficeMax needs to completely revamp their on-line ordering program and search engine.

They need to train customer service people so that the shopping experience can be more productive for everyone!

This company (Office Max)cheats people with the discount cards they send in the mail.It is probably an attempt to draw business away from their biggest competitor Office Depot.They probably save millions of dollars by forgetting to honor the discount cards or giving people the run around trying to get their discount until they give up etc,etc...They run things like professional carnival workers ,they are liars!This seems to be the new American way,Office Max must be owned by people who belong to the Democrat Party!

I apologize to all the other Office Max customers who went to the trouble of writing negative reviews here. Your reviews were accurate and I regret not heeding your warnings.
The Brother multi-function machine I ordered from Office Max came on time and works well. The rebate they offered that caused me to buy from them took several phone calls and e-mails to receive. It finally arrived after more than four months of persistently contacting the company. It just isn't worth it! The $40 gift check they promised has used up more than $40.00 worth of my time. I read all of the negative customer reviews I before buying from Office Max, but I still believed that a properly completed and presented rebate would be honored. I was wrong and I will not make the same mistake again.

Was very pleased with service received from Office Max. Was not home for first delivery and didn't want to waste day waiting so arranged to have laptop delivered to nearest store. Store called when item arrived. HP rebate in package had expired so Office Max asked me to send them the documents and they sent me the $100 rebate check.
