I went to the Staples on *************** in ********* to buy a new wireless printer for my husband's upcoming birthday. I had a lot of questions, but didn't find all the answers on the boxes or by strolling down the printer aisles. And then a wonderful employee named ******* stopped by to answer my questions (even some that I hadn't yet come up with) and tell me some cost-saving tips I never knew existed. She was so wonderful and helpful, and I can't say enough good things about her. And, the printer and cash-saving tips she shared with me will make my husband's birthday that much better! Thank you, *******!Staples, Inc. Response

If I could give less starts I would. I ordered an Xbox series X through ************************** and received a shipping confirmation however when I looked at it the item was never received!!! When I contacted **************** I was told the item became out of stock and they would cancel the order and issue a refund. Its been 23 days and I have yet to be issued a refund! When I call they continue to tell me the refund was issued and there is NOTHING they can do now.Staples, Inc. Response

1. **Alabama Law**: Is there a law that prohibits separate transactions?2. **Staples Purchase Limit**: Does Staples limit each person to only one transaction per day?3. **Customer Interaction**: If two people know each other, does that mean they can only count as one transaction and cannot check out separately?Staples, Inc.

Staples has a very bad return policy. 14 days return on an office chair I bought. Most uncomfortable chair you can get. Back very sore every time it is used. Tried to return and was told I was past a 14 day return policy. I was 2 days late. I called customer service. They sent a new part. Still no better. I have now tried for almost 90 days to fix problem. No help anywhere. They now tell me the return policy is on the website and on the back of the receipt Look at the back. very small print to say 14 days. I ask. Who looks at the back of the receipt or on the website when in the store? I was told that was all they could do was give me another chair of the same kind. So, in the store salesman does not tell you no sign to show you nothing showing 14 days return policy. All stores have 30 days for return except staples.Staples, Inc. Response

Well I think staples is going out of business. Store was understaffed. I think only 3 employees and one person was doing the cash register and the **** I was there 2 different days, first to order a poster then a couple days later to pick up. Both days the same. When I picked up the poster. I also was going to buy some other items but left them in the cart and left the store. I had to wait ********************************************* the print department obviously had no idea what he was doing trying to complete transactions for the 2 people ahead of me. I had prepaid for my poster when I ordered it. The cash register employee was assisting a lady on how to use her phone to get her *** app to work so I left. I went to office max and was greeted and asked if I need any help then another employee asked if I needed help, I asked where the poster boards were. That employee stopped what she was doing and walked me to the poster boards. I have used staples for printing for years, I wont be back.Staples, Inc. Response

The customer service at their location in ********, ******** is the worst. They started a design for business cards and flyers for my small business. They knew how important this was supposed to be. They totally messed up the design and they were acting like it was my fault all I wanted was a few colors changed what it was supposed to be the first time they refused, they wanted me to pay another design fee. They hung the phone up on me. They will not answer any of my phone calls. I want my money back. Ive been waiting over two weeks to resolve this. They basically stole my money.Staples, Inc. Response

On June 2024, I tried to make a purchase online due their free shipping and school supplies sales. After a couple of attempts with different credit cards, they cancelled my order for no reason. The same thing happened a couple of months prior when I tried making a purchase online.When I called to ask for help in the corporate office, I was told that I couldnt make purchases online with zero explanation. They only said that the system couldnt verify with the information I provided and that was that. When I asked to talk to a manager, they said they can have a manager call me, but stated that the manager will have the same response.Two days later, someone by the name of ************************* called me. She said that she spoke for the *** of Staples and told me that their internal system couldnt verify my information (the information I provided to make purchases online and to ship to my home). I asked if theres anything else she can do. The only thing she said that I can only make purchases in store and not online. I mentioned that the reason we make online purchases, its for the convenience. If I could make the purchases in store, I wouldve. She wouldnt provide any details on why I was rejected from the online site or give any other solutions so I can make the purchase online. When I mentioned that it seems that they dont care about my business, **** responded with Im sorry to have lost your business in a stoic tone.This experience made me feel that I was NOT a valued customer at **********************. They wouldnt tell me how to fix the problem and there was nothing they could do. They dont even care about losing my business. So much for buying things at Staples. I would make my purchase elsewhere like Office Depot or Amazon. Ive tried Office Depots customer service for both personal and corporate. Its not ideal, but Ive never had them, or any other company, completely rejecting finding a solution to help a customer.Staples, Inc. Response

I received an email from Staples concerning items for sale and offering me a $20 off promo card on any future purchase over $50. I traveled 15 miles to get to Staples in ************, ****. I picked out the item I wanted to purchase, price $72.39 but the item was marked $77.78. I talked to the cashier and she rang the purchase up at $72.39.I then showed her the $20 off promo card on my phone and I was told the promo card would be used on my next purchase.I believe this is false advertizement and even considered "bait and switch".I loaded the Staple App on my phone, I set up an account, I drove to Staples in ************, ****, I assisted in getting the item price to $72.39, I showed them up $20 off promo card AND STILL WAS DENIED MY PURCHASE WITH THE $20 OFF PROMO CARD!IS THE CUSTOMER EVER RIGHT ANYMORE?I BELEIVE STAPLE NEEDS TO ACCEPT MY PROMO CARD NOW Thanks,*************************Staples, Inc.

Staples apologizes for the inconvenience. We have reached out to the customer by email, with an offer on how to resolve this. However, the customer did not respond to us. The offer is still good to go and will be completed once the customer responds to let us know that this will resolve the problemReview from Ericka M

I went to Staples to pick up a printing job that had been completed by two very helpful and knowledgeable young ladies. My order was perfect. Then I needed to grab a couple more things. When I arrived at the cash register there wasnt anyone else in line. Three employees: **** -older white man, ****** -middle aged white man, and an older white lady who had her gray hair covering her name tag. The three of them stood there by the gift cards talking for literally 5 minutes before either of them would bother to check me out. They each looked at me several times but didnt move. I didnt say a word to them, as I was trying to keep my composure and remain calm. So, I picked up my phone and dialed the staples customer service line and it was really loud on the phone. I guess they heard the call and **** decided to walk over to check me out. At this time, the older lady and ****** also went behind the counter to help a white man that had just walked up. As a black woman, I have been treated this way before. But I am tired of it and will now call it out each and every time.Listen, I literally grew up in *************, this is my home. There is no place for prejudice here. If Staples as a company hires and allows these types of people to be the face of their company then something is wrong and needs to change. Every customer has the same color money: green. The color of my skin should not determine how I as a customer will be treated. And its too bad because I had such a wonderful experience with the ladies at the copy center. And to end the visit with those three at the front register is just disheartening. Do better.Staples, Inc. Response
