Yeah the place is a little empty but everyone is ALWAYS REALLY really nice. I've called a free times for things, everyone is ALWAYS super nice and professional on the phone. They are great in person. My print jobs are always ready super fast!! (Because it's never that busy!!). I love this location. I get the store all to myself and everyone is so nice. All the time. Don't let those other people give it a bad rap. These guys are great. *NOT great on returns so be sure you need what you buy! read more

Seems almost empty, rude personal and they don't have public bathrooms. I understand DTSD may have a lot of homeless people. Technically under the law if they have an employee restroom, they must allow any individual lawfully on the premises to use it during normal business hours, even if it's not normally made available to the public. $100 penalty but who files complaints? My only decision is never to go back. I can take my $ and buy somewhere else. read more

This store is shockingly bad. I needed color cartridges for my ink jet printer, today, so I looked online and this was the closest store that had them in stock. Online, the price was about $65. At the store, the listed price was $95! At the register, I asked about the discrepancy and was told by the cashier, "we can price match". So they price matched their OWN price. But they would have been happy to charge me 50% more than online, had I not noticed. Fine, I decided not to patronize them again. I went home and opened the box of Canon ink. Surprise! It was filled with cartridges from an off-brand, for an entirely different printer. Back to the store I went. When I told the employee what had happened, they said "Really?" Yes, really. And your store is terrible. Don't go here. read more

"Taking care of biznusssss, everyday, taking care of business every way". Old Boomer group Bachman-Turner Overdrive is the score to this review. lol I have the CLEAR app membership, which I will cancel when I get TSA Pre-Check; it's just too expensive for two people. I came to this location to get that Pre-Check thing via Telos, which you need to fill out online before coming down. Anyhow, I was greeted by a friendly employee at the door, and even though I was half an hour early for my appointment, they managed to fit me in a little bit earlier, which was very nice. Not Office Depot related, but if you go the Telos route, please remember a 5 day window from your preferred appointment to allow the store to ensure they have the staff to take care of your request. My husband tried to use Telos, but he went to a different location and got turned away because he made his appointment 72 hours after his request. Not a good experience. I had zero issues at this particular storefront. The guy who helped me was experienced and professional. I love Office Depot, so I don't have anything else to say except that I love this location. For me, it's easy to get there via the Number 2 bus from South Park. Good service, and an incredible selection of nice travel backpacks, too. Minus one star because the stairwell smelled heavily from urine, probably from urban campers from the night before. read more

Huge Office Depot in downtown San Diego. Clean, but barely staffed. I have been here few times and finding someone to help you is always the problem.

I think that Leadership here definitely is lacking. Having live next to the store for the better part of the decade I've always utilized it for both my military, Business, and HOA needs. I've had mixed results. I do enjoy that the staff at the printing center is very knowledgeable. The only problems that I've ever had has always been with the managers and or assistant managers of the store. Today was no exception and I feel at odds writing this because last time that I did have an issue with the manager, he ended up apologizing, which I was very thankful for because I think it was just a misunderstanding altogether however, this time when asking about a return policy after being told that I was able to return something previous unfortunately they were not able to find my receipt utilizing the same method that I utilize today I brought in my receipts to return items and mention this to the person that I was returning, and was told that the item that I was returning was no longer going to be accepted because it was past the due date. another item that I had returned I was told that it was open. I told them that I did not open it fortunately, they were able to return it however, the main item which was a LabelMaker was not opened by me. It was open by the store associate that day. I was told that I opened it when I rebuttal and said that he just opened that up and then turned into when did you purchase the item? I said I purchased it here according to my receipt and showed them the receipt he refused to initially scan the receipt and wanted to type it in, which was not a problem. I noticed that his tone was demeaning and condescending, and so as I was wrapping up the initial return minus the other return of the unopened label maker. I asked specifically what constituted constitute a technology and the electronics, and he continuously reiterated that my item was a piece of technology. I rebuttaled a Wheel is technology isn't it? His reply was that he needed to get back to work. I said you are at work. You're answering your clients or a customer's question specifically why I was told two different things by two different people and now I have this item in which I didn't spend a grand amount of money on, and I can absorb the loss, but the fact that I'm not able to return it after being told, I was able to return it after being told that I needed the receipt after I've already presented my debit cards And use the same one that was accepted. Why now am I not able to return it? Additionally, I want to understand the policy a little bit better so I can make my decisions on whether or not I can utilize Amazon in the future, which at this point has been way more convenient than walking less than a block away from my condo to get to This location. I caution him on his tone and reminded him that I am a customer regardless and I'm trying to keep it as civil as possible due to the fact that I have utilize the store and appreciate the customer service I have received in the past by different associates. I asked to have tape and or sleeve for one of my UPS packages and was told that they don't have tape. I pointed out that they have tape right there and he said I'll have to charge you a dollar for the tape. I said how much is a roll of tape and he said go look. I said well if you can look it up on your PDA right? I'm curious I don't have time to go through each one and I already went over there and I didn't see them. He relented and told me that it varied. I asked specifically how much one roll of tape was since he wasn't going to allow me to use his and again told me that it varied based upon how much tape and the kind of kind of tape I said, specifically scotch tape as I pointed to the one that they said they did not have sitting on the counter that he was next to. I attempted to have a heart-to-heart with him, letting him know that I found it funny that in the past, I've been able to utilize tape and they usually have tape available in their self help portion, not only to include that but pens and paper clips, but I couldn't get a single piece of tape. I wanted nothing free, but I wanted to see his continued behavior get worse and it sure did. I don't think that Carlos should be fired, but I do think that Carlos needs to receive additional training as a store manager in reference to dealing with clients/customers. read more

One of the most unenthusiastic bunch of employees I've ever come across at Office Depot. Every time the same experience. It's so hard so hard to find assistance here. Nobody actively comes to you and see if they can help you. But at least when you check out, they tend to be friendly. I'm surprised his business is still even open. read more

Where is the best place to come and get your computer and laptop checked its one place you can also get things for the office and the many other smaller things that you may need? It's one of the best stores that I have seen many others that have been in so many cities and some of them have been in grocery stores for many times. To many people that when you need things for the offi9s get orders done online but I preferer to do it to visit the store personally and to see what you're buying you can get the upfront info and the tech support you need. Shopping for office supplies can be an adventure for the many things that a store has is the best thing is that you can see them up close and to choose, and ask yourself," Would my staff like things like this or the many different colors?" Those are the many things you may want to ask to find the best products and the right prices to see what they are is some of the best ways to save your lost day of fighting the catalogs. My trip to the Downtown San Diego Office Depot is one of the best when you come to a larger store you will find the better products and the larger supplies that is what I had found at the store. When I had arrived by way of the trolley the store is very close by the Trolley Station Santa Fe Station short walk over there was a few cars in the large parking lot there is usually more cars for the Friday's offices have more people coming to the store. My visit when I had arrived, I had entered the store and was greeted by the cashier of the copy center and was greeted by the tech support that was in the printer and the toner isles he was resupplying merchandise. I asked Carlos where the SD cards were at that I needed replace for my camera and the hard back notebooks with the spiral outside, and the lightweight pens. The store had been in a reset and the many new rows of the merchandise there was many new things that just came to the store and many sales that was going at the same time. The great customer service from Carlos he was able to help me through the store asking me on product questions if I needed orders sent to my house. I asked him if you charge for business cards and the time do I need to get the order in he told me they can do the order within two days' time or they can do the next day. He took me to the many areas coming to the SD Cards finding those that 38.00 dollars with the membership you get the prices down to a 8.95$ I bought two of them of the PNY SD Cards of 64GB the store location does have some of the best sales when you sign up for the membership that can save you allot of money. Carlos is one person that told me when you buy a lap top camera look for the good resolution and to check the compatibility with your computer. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer, I wanted to say is that the Office is one of the best being in the Downtown San Diego area at the foot of Broadway it does help with so many things and the customers that come off the cruise ships who need things like cameras and things for the computers they have on the ship. The store location is one of the busiest in the area of the courts they do have to create and get copies made for the attorneys and the creation of books and the plastic folders. Office Depot is one store that is large and yet the store is mighty. read more

I was looking for same-day printing services and had called around to a couple places. Everyone was pretty backlogged. I even went to FedEx/Kinko's to print my own and it would have been very expensive and I would have done my own cutting. I walked into this Office Depot, and Stacey at the printing services counter was incredibly helpful. The whole process was so speedy and I had 100 copies of what I needed cut perfectly within 15 minutes. The pricing was fair and competitive. I will be back here for my same-day printing needs. read more

I had a stack of old documents that needed shredding, and Office Depot's shredding service was fast and secure. The process was straightforward, and the staff assured me that my documents would be handled properly. While I was there, I picked up some office essentials, including file folders, sticky notes, and printer paper--all at very reasonable prices. The store was clean, organized, and had everything I needed in one place.

Terrible customer service by store manager. Poor quality print yet won't admit their mistake. Do not recommend. Possibly the worst customer experience from the store manager this afternoon. We needed booklets on short notice for tomorrow, but when we picked up the booklets all the white colors across the brochure were VERY off and there were white lines on the corners of every page. The above issues weren't shown in the computer preview and we even called before ordering to confirm that the preview was what we could expect the booklet to look like. Not only was the print quality far from good, the store manager was extremely rude -- the lady who serviced us was kind enough to offer a full refund and sent us home with the order because we had no choice but to use these booklets for tomorrow. The store manager yelled at us as we walked out with the boxes saying "what are you doing?! I can't let you take that?". He was probably going to throw out the booklets anyway. He then proceeded to argue that the messed up white color was that way because "we provided poor quality photos". This statement we know is untrue because the lady at the print desk who helped us had told us that the store has been experience printer issues, so this error can happen. So we ended up having to pay for half of the order ($150). We initially upgraded the text and paper quality but this print quality was far from what we expected. Our business pride itself on high quality products and this print job destroys our brand image. But we had to pay for the booklets and use them anyway cuz of the store's mistake and unwillingness to admit or rectify it. Do not recommend going to this store, and now that I'm looking at previous reviews, can understand why. read more

I picked up my tax software from this Office Depot located downtown. They open at 10 am and have a good parking lot which is nice for a downtown business. The software I needed was right up and front when I walked in. Office Depot had a $10 of for members so I certainly took advantage of that. Service at the register was alright. The young man at the register was friendly enough but not much of a conversationalist. read more

I brought in some sensitive documents for shredding. Although they only weighed one-half of a pound, I was charged "a minimum of $5.00." I saw no signage indicating that apparent fact. I was shown a counter sign generally stating "services" were "a minimum of $5.00" and shredding was a service even though the minimum charge was not on the store's webpage. That was because these charges are outlined on the main page for Office Depot. So I guess I would have to look at the store location and the corporate webpages in order to understand just how screwed I would be when I need something from this company. The young lady's attitude assured me that the customer is always wrong at Office Depot. I did state that I would need to post this poor decision of the part of Office Depot on social media as a warning to future customers. If you must use this company, be sure to bring your shredding when it exceeds five pounds in order to be charged fairly. Seriously -- does Office Depot think it is the only game in town? read more

Excellent Service at Downtown Office Depot! I recently visited Office Depot for some shipping supplies, and I had the pleasure of being assisted by Stacey. I must say, the service I received was top-notch! Throughout the shopping experience, Stacey was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. She even suggested some alternative products that might suit my needs better, which I greatly appreciated. She was able to answer all my questions with confidence and clarity. The kind of service you don't see very often anymore. I'd love to steal her away to work for me! I would definitely recommend this Office Depot to anyone looking for office supplies, and help with shipping. read more

Honestly dislike having to shop anywhere downtown because of the parking, construction etc etc. I only go downtown to eat. I've been shopping right before work because it's the time I've been able to squeeze in y to do lists. I needed to print and laminate something's and looked up an Office Depot near my job and this one popped up. I looked at the pictures first to see the parking lot haha. To my surprise the parking lot was huge. So I knew I wouldn't mind stopping here. It was easy to find and I always love shopping out of my neighborhood because I don't run into anyone I know haha. I'm horrible but it's so true. Haha. I was looking around and as soon as a worker spotted me they asked if I found everything ok which I appreciated. I wish I got the name of the employee who helped me with printing and laminating cause she helped 3 of us at the same time, it was so quick and efficient just how I like! I'm definitely going to make this Office Depot my go to from now on! read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. I'm never shopping at an Office Depot again. Came in here after I needed to buy a whiteboard for work at home. I came in and found a whiteboard with a great price and decided to snag it. When I brought it to the register, a petite woman working the register told me it was $61 (not the $19.99 sale price listed). I said that it had a sale sign for $20. So she said I could take a picture of it and bring it back as proof (which is terrible customer service mind you). So, I quickly took photos of the price point and aisle section where the board was and hurried back. When I brought it back to her, she was ringing up another, so I had to wait in line again. When she finally looked at my photos, she said that the description on the $19.99 price matched my item but that it was a different SKU. She then asked for a manager override, and tried to ring up my order with two (2) of the boards on the total order! Bringing my total to over $120! Not only did I not ask for this, I would've easily missed this if I wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. When I told her that I didn't want it for $61, and that I didn't want to order two of them, she didn't apologize or anything. In the end, I purchased a smaller one to hold me over until I can go to a much better store. If I didn't NEED a whiteboard immediately, I wouldn't have bought anything from this place. read more

Disappointing professional printing quality and customer service. Thank goodness I only printed one 12-pg saddle stitched document. Coloring had streaks and miscolor; girl behind the counter gave me the single response of, "oh our machine must be off, I'll have to call for service on it," with zero apology, offer for refund, or other options. She then just started helping the next person while I was still trying to talk to her. I wouldn't have anything printed at Office Depot if you need professional quality. read more

From the second I walked in the store I was greeted by a friendly associate, to the new register that was opened because I was the only other customer in line, to the manager who offered to let me used an expired coupon, to the gentleman that walked me to my car so I wouldn't have to carry such large items... I have to say I never thought I would give an Office Depot 5 stars. Wow, was I impressed with everyones customer customer service today. So much that I'm going to take the time to take the survey at the bottom of the receipt. read more

Do Not Buy Online I purchased a printer from a link to this store. It was defective in one week, and I have been trying to return it ever since. I suggest you go in person, not online. Office Depot is eager to sell you a printer (arrives in a timely manner). But if you get a defective one and want them to pick it up and refund your money, good luck. Terrible experience. Still waiting for the carrier. Update: the printer finally got picked up and my money refunded. I have to say the employees I spoke with on the phone were all very helpful. Thank you to them. Just bummed about the defective printer. read more

I ordered on line for two boxes of paper reams and 2 boxes of highlighters (Order #319270146) and was informed that it will be delivered the following day .. that's great but the thing is ... it did not arrive. I called Customer Service and was told that it was indeed delivered . I argued on the phone saying that we really did not receive the shipment. Then they say it was a wrong address (where in fact our address is correct in their system). Their associate RJ said that he will re-order and we will get the package to us the following day. We waited and then I receive an E-mail instead from Bevan saying that the shipment was delivered. Again, I responded that we really did not receive it. How many times do I have to say that!!??! I gave him my number to call me personally to resolve the issue. No E-mail response ... and no call received. We waited ... and waited for two days but no shipment arrive. I called again and spoke with another associate Lin. She said that Office Deport credited me back. I did not request for a credit, we wanted the merchandise delivered!! as we are running out of paper in the office. They should have informed me about the 'credit' so we don't have to wait for the shipment and buy the merchandise someplace else. While still talking with Lin, I managed to checked with AmEx and learned that there was no credit back to my account from Office Deport. Lin asked me if I want to speak to the manager ... and said she will pass me to Lisa, the manager. I waited on the line for a long time .. until I was hanged up. So rude people ... poor communication and they argue more than care about the customer's satisfaction. My case No. is 19191482. Customer # 17829892, for management's reference so this kind of shipment error will be corrected and Office Depot's customer service will be improved.

What can you really expect to be out of the ordinary from Office Depot to the next. This rating is not based on their products or prices because that will be the same no matter what Office Depot you go to. The location is great. San Diego is beautiful and this Office Depot is just a jog from the ocean. The location is also on the outskirts of the downtown area, so not only do they have a parking lot, but almost no one comes here, so you'll always have a parking spot. In the few times I've come here I've never had a long line to wait in. There's typically someone to help me find whatever I'm looking for (usually ink), and the checkers are always polite. In the end, we're only talking about Office Depot so I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If you do live downtown though, this could be the spot for your office supplies. read more
