On my recent trip to Staples I brought a pencil sharpener to return that I had purchased online. I…read morewent to the front because there was no line at the time and I have been stuck in long ones before. The person working the register got my order id and then hands me a receipt. He was not trained to confirm the details about the amount of my return. Unfortunately I was only given back the value of 60 % the cost of the item online and 50% of the cost in store. The month before this I had placed an online order that never arrived so part of my purchase was using a credit, but not the kind of credit that requires a minimum purchase. So I asked if I could exchange the item instead and he called a manager who was not interested in even listening and she called some 800 number and handed the phone to me. If the employee had confirmed the amount of the return I would have been able to do an exchange, but his failure to do that cost me money. And the manager was unwilling to cancel the return so I left without my pencil sharpener and lost the credit that they gave me for failing to deliver my order. This is not a lot of money, but i expent cashiers to be competent and I expect managers to train them. The store manager was awful, did not care about the customer and took no responsibility for running the store.

I did not do a whole lot of research on office furnishings prior and needed to get this done fast. Overall my experience was good, however getting the furnishings delivered was a bit disorganized . I had to call in a couple times to get the date figured out and it came down VERY close to the wire for me since I was vacating the old office and moving into the new one and needed furniture to avoid disruption in my business . Their moving truck was also broken for about a week or so (understandable) and deliveries were slowed as a result. That was a red flag to me since many customers were at the mercy of just one delivery truck .. I questioned as to why there was not a rental truck or Penske or Uhaul loaner they could have had to avoid being back logged. Being that delivering furniture appeared to be a significant part of their business. I know trucks at uhaul are fairly easy to get as I have rented several on moments notice many times In the end the truck was fixed and we were able to finally get the furnishings delivered. The delivery crew was professional and courteous. I leave very candid feedback so perhaps this last small criticism leaves me open to rebuttal, but I was a little surprised that delivery charges were added when you spend thousands of dollars on furnishings? I understand costs need to be covered but I thought that the amount extra was a bit steep to pay on top of everything else I just purchased.

I have gone to this staples 5 times in a row (all different times a day) just to find an hour wait…read moreto do Amazon returns. I had to go to UPS and pay $1 per return just so I could keep my schedule. At this Staples, I see lots of customers who are frustrated while there are numerous Staples employees who are obviously available and not helping! I find it VERY strange that Amazon buys Staples and then only assigns ONE person, when UPS has like 4, to handle the abundance of returns. Perhaps Amazon wants everyone to pay $1 for every return and force people to return to UPS? I am not sure who makes the $1 - Amazon or UPS, but something is fishy. The manager obviously knows of the LONG LINE PROBLEM and yet NO SOLUTIONS are being offered. Why is the manager responding to these complaints saying they are doing their best, when it is clear, they are NOT! Solution: Assign 3-4 people to do returns and people will most likely not be mad and might even make a purchase in your store!!! I don't know a single successful business in any industry who is fine with one hour waits....with no sense of urgency other than this place. The staff seems zombie like and even with an hour wait, there are times where new staff are being trained at a snails pace putting more strain on the customers. Really bad way to run a business. Shame on you. You should be embarrassed.

I hopped in the line up front for my package and the staff up there was equally as friendly and helpful. They had some great deals on print projects (a lot of cards being made it looked like). I don't have much need for office supplies nowadays but if and when I do I will go here for sure!

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with a recent experience at Staples…read more I initially purchased a phone charger that proved to be defective upon first use. I returned to the store and, based on a recommendation from a store associate, exchanged it for a different charger. Unfortunately, the replacement charger was also defective. When I returned to the store to request a refund, I was informed that I was beyond the 14-day return window and could only receive a store gift card. Given that this was already the second defective product, I found this policy unreasonable but agreed to proceed reluctantly. However, I was then told that I would only receive approximately half of the original purchase amount. I paid nearly $20 and was refunded only $9. This outcome is unacceptable. Retaining half the value of a product, especially when both the original and replacement items were defective, raises serious concerns about fairness and consumer protection. I have never encountered a return policy that penalizes customers in this manner when proof of purchase is clearly provided. Additionally, I was disappointed by the level of customer service I received from the manager on duty. Her demeanor was dismissive and lacked the professionalism and care expected in a customer-facing role, particularly on a day such as Mother's Day when many customers are already managing busy schedules. I strongly urge corporate leadership to review and revise this policy, as it undermines customer trust and reflects poorly on the company's commitment to quality and service. I also recommend additional training for management staff to ensure that customer concerns are handled with the appropriate level of respect and professionalism. I expect this matter to be taken seriously and addressed accordingly.

They cost way more per print than many other companies, overages are outrageous. If you do not cancel 3 months in advanced your lease will auto renew for a whole year, and cost thousands of dollars to cancel. There is an early termination fee on top of that. They have fees on fees so you are never paying what you think. They charge late fees even when you are not late. They don't care about the customer. They don't return phone calls unless they need something, we even tried to get a better printer in order to print on bigger paper and they refused. They are not accommodating, predatory and have lost their humanity. Jean-Louis Montealegre or Bill Steinecke wont return phone calls. Go with a different company. Where you don't have to notify them 90 days in advance and their are not hidden fees.
