Roberta is the best! Came in for printing and shipping, and Roberta was helpful and expertly advised the printing process and extraordinarily professional quality was the result. Gratitude! read more

Don't count on your print order being ready when they say it will be. I placed an order online because it said it would be ready by Dec 9th at 7pm (I need it for Friday the 13th). I called this morning (Dec 10th) to confirm it was ready before picking up and they said it's not, they don't know when it will be (maybe this week), and didn't offer a solution. The woman was super dismissive and unhelpful. A simple "I'm so sorry, we got flooded with orders so that timeframe is behind. As soon as it's ready we'll let you know, sorry about the inconvenience" would've gone a long way. Just any empathy/accountability or attempt to make it right, but she truly did not give a shit and said "I can cancel your order" lol I'm just super unimpressed by a business that over promises, under delivers, and then doesn't take accountability when that happens read more

45 minutes after trying to make a copies I walked out without them because the machines needed to be rebooted, then jammed, and timed out even after those issues were resolved. And is it just me, or does it feel depressing in there? Lesson learned, I'll use a locally owned business and not the big box chain. , read more

Yes it is a chain but truly they have become super efficient. I love that I can order office supplies online via their website and pick it up within a few hours. I went through this process with a new desk chair recently. They had a killer sale going on for office equipment. I also used a coupon code on top of the sale. All in all, I saved 50%; over $110! Best part is I didn't have to pay for shipping and handling since they had it in stock. Even better, I earned Staples Rewards from purchase too! I received an email when my product was ready for pick up--literally within an hour versus the quoted two hours. I used one of the online order spots in the front of the parking lot, went inside, and provided them a barcode on my phone. An employee carried the chair out to my car (not allowing me to help!) and put it in my car's trunk. I was on my way in a matter of 10 minutes! Talk about customer service! Also remember that you can recycle and earn credit by recycling your used ink cartridges here. I also find their printing center to be helpful. Until next time, Staples! read more

I came to the store at 10:45 to get one poster laminated. The man that helped me said that it would take one hour. When I came back in a hour there was someone else there, and I could see my poster in the back, so I said that I was picking it up. The poster was not laminated. The second worker told me that the co-worker was on break, and that he would probably get back to it when he comes back from his 15 minute break. The second worker said he wasn't trained in using the machine so he couldn't help. I came back at 1:10, and the original worker was back and when my husband mentioned he was here for the poster the worker whispered "oh sh*t" and said that the laminator machine was broken and that we could come back at 2:30 for it because the manager would supposedly come and fix it. Just through that response I could tell that worker forgot about the order, and also that there was no communication between the first worker and the second worker I interacted with letting one another know that I had returned and was asking about my order. I know the machine being broken was out of anyone one's control, but what wasn't out of their control was being able to notify me so that I didn't have to waste my time waiting for my item. The worker could have texted or called me that he wasn't going to get the item done within the hour like he had said he would. He could have also notified me once he realized the machine was broken. Took my item back as I was tired of service that disregarded their customers' time. read more

Went in today to return a chair that was gifted. Returned because it was a defective object, easy exchange. Manager or supervisor that was there around 1:30/2pm was great! Very helpful! Paid for the new chair to get assembled received a call stating it was ready. Went in around 7pm. First impression of the chair was that it was lopsided. Sat down to check it out, super unstable! Young guy who was there working on other chairs noticed that none of the screws were tightened. Proceeded to tighten by flipping the chair onto the dirty floor. Keep in mind this is a white leather chair. Tried to be discrete about the situation and asked him to keep an eye on that. Said he would get a wipe. At the end when I asked if there was a wipe for the chair to be cleaned I noticed that it could potentially be a bleach disinfectant wipe. As he didn't know if they were I decided to skip the cleaning. Helped me to my car. I laid out a blanket for the chair to be set in. He didn't exactly wait or look at the positioning of the chair and decided to push it in. Got home and attempted to clean the chair, stains won't come out. These are just a few of the handprints around the chair. Along with the now tear. Great! read more

See all

Wish I could give less than a star. No one is on the floor to help find anything, a temping computer tech was the only person to help me, which I thank him for. I wanted mounting tape and they had 12 in stock online which I had seen the day before. I was excited to pick up today and they told me they are in the back and will not get them. First my the cashier than again by the manager, literally refused to go get the item I came all the way for and their website says is in stock and available. Disappointing, rude people who were not even apologetic. read more

I'm giving this store a five star because I am an Instacart shopper and when I went to the business I had no idea where anything was that because I normally don't take those orders from Staples I usually just do grocery store shopping I had no idea where anything was the employees were wonderful and David went out of his way to help me find what we were looking for he's an amazing employee and he definitely gets a five star. read more

Horrible service. Staff is impatient and quick to dismiss customers. I placed an online order, received the confirmation email for pickup and arrived to pick up my order. When I arrived, an older lady was waiting for someone to help. A staff member came to help me and I informed him she was ahead of me. He curtly said he knew, then tried to find my order without success. I tried to give him the order number but he stopped me, saying the "print guy was supposed to be here but is not" and that he didn't know when the person would arrive. Very irresponsible and inadequate communication. When a printing staff member showed, he found my order and began to help the older lady. I could not be more put off by my experience with such disorganized and dismissive staff. read more

I've just had the best experience ever with an associate at this Staples. I had to print a letter that couldn't be sent it to pdf . So she took care of if and manually make it work. I've never experienced in any place so much care and commitment . I really really appreciate her efficiency and professionalism. I'll definitely be back soon . Thanks again for such a great service . read more

I want to update my review from my last experiences at the store. In the last month I had several projects due for work and school so I had to make several trips to store. Each and everyone of these trips I received excellent service and the attendant helping me went above and beyond to ensure my projects came out how I envisioned them to. Thanks for providing excellent service this month, Staples Crew. read more

Convent? Maybe. Overpriced and slow service from the Radio Shack of office supplies Definitely. Again, I find myself in line with 9 others, all waiting for Louis in Lane 1. He's doing a great job but needs help from anyone. Anyone out there available to help? I come to Staples for one reason, I need it before Amazon can deliver it. The prices are not amazing and the staff tries but I get better information from online reviews and product web sites. Maybe if there was more people on staff during the lunch and after work hours the team would be happier and more helpful. What do I know about retail. The overall experience is a 2/5 but I'll throw in one more star because you're there. And open. And usually I can get in out check out in a reasonable amount of time. So thanks, I guess. For doing your job. I'll see you when I need a binder. read more

Thanks to Monique Ayala for being extremely helpful pwith my Christmas cards after working 12 hours! Great service with a smile!!! 5 stars

Staples - Self service fax machine - Printing Services Near Me - Goleta, California

Staples is usually full of employees who want to help out. I'm used to them walking you to the aisle and helping you find the right product. This location is only one of the few in the area. The next one is in Ventura! 20 miles away. Yikes!!! The selection wasn't great! Needed a gold sharpie. Only needed one!!! Had to buy four!!! Left feeling I didn't get what I'd gone in for which was a blank sketchbook because the product wasn't on the shelf. The product line is small in some items. Interesting! I've been to Staples around the country and this is the first time I left without what I'd come in for. read more

The woman at the printing center is really, really nice. I asked her many questions but she is always patient. Very willing to help. Even get me refunds for printed paper with a very small stain (caused by the machine) and a copy which I didn't print in the correct way. Print a lot and the paper is in a very high quality! Overall, an excellent experience. read more

Very slow service. To much time chatting and member crap ******[

I purchased two staplers in less than a year each one broke within 3 months of casual use. I ignored the first one but could not ignore the second. The company should live up to their name and sell a product that is not junk. I will not use this company for my business needs again. The kid at the register did not even offer an exchange. Who saves a receipt for such a purchase? Anyway I am sure they probably have a digital trail of my purchases since I have been using this store for my business since it opened. You lost our business over staplers Staples. read more

Horrible service. I ordered a bookshelf desk in the store and they sent me a folding desk! What kind of idiot does that? It even says on their packaging instructions that it's supposed to be a bookshelf desk. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. HORRIBLE SERVICE. read more

Called around to find better price to swap out laptop battery. Didn't even think about Staples but I couldn't beat their price. Thomas Kodama, the general manager, had to take my info as the tech manager was working late, but it was fine. I even decided to swap out the hdd with ssd. I didn't think of asking the price for that but it was sooo worth it. One con was that I had to call them to find out about my laptop but after that Mike Kopydlowski was great. When I went to pick it up, the new battery wasn't working any longer. Mike tried to get it to work several times. Got the new battery but Mike was working late but Thomas came over to help me after a few minutes. Mike changed the battery and thoroughly tested it. Swapped it out for free. I would highly recommend Staples for their tech service. read more

I have no idea how this has gotten such a high rating. I've been going here since it's kind of the only game in town and I have never been satisfied. The sales associates don't acknowledge you and when you finally find one to ask a questions, they have no idea what is going on. They were supposed to call me when something was finished so I could come pick it up. No call. Finally, I decided to call them. "Oh yeah, it's sitting here waiting for you to pick it up!" Ugh. I am willing to make the drive to find a place where they can actually help me. read more

Joseph was so wonderful to work with when I wanted to print my custom designed wedding invitations. He helped me plan a custom printing package, encouraged me to do some research to see if I could come up with some savings, replied to my emails, printed proofs that I could inspect before running the full job, and was honest with me about what he could do well and what I might want to figure out on my own. If I need any additional printing done, I will be coming back to Staples to work with him. All the other printing places I'd checked out in Santa Barbara either refused to give me quotes or tried to upsell me, and I really appreciated Joseph's pleasantness and dedication to helping me get the job done right. read more

The guy at the tech center was young a didn't know what he was doing. He told me my phone was bent and that it was s mother board problem and he could not help me. He literally looked at my phone for half a second. I took it to a shop and they said it was just the lcd and they fixed it and it works beautifully. Not only that, but that shop also strained out the minor bend in my phone and hooked me up with a case and glass screen to protect my phone.Not only did staples lose my business but they would of been 40 bucks cheaper for my wallet had he not turned me away. I will never come here for tech support. I would not trust them with my stuff considering how little time and help they spent with me. Not even 1 full minute!!! read more

I highly recommend the Copy and Print center at this location. Joseph is very personable, quick, provides a quality product, and takes time to ensure his customers are happy. I always bring anything I'm printing for crafting projects or party invitations here for printing, and I am always thrilled with the product. He generally gets it done within the day, and calls you to inform you when the project is ready to ensure you don't have to wait in the store for your order. I definitely recommend the Copy and Print center for all your printing needs. read more

We walked in looking to buy a backpack and a desk chair. We were in the store for 10 mins, found a backpack and began browsing the chairs. At this point we had been in the store for over 20 mins and not one associate had asked if we needed assistance. So we made a decision on a chair which had a 40% off tag on the chair then listed the chair price of $259. Still no associate anywhere in sight so we had to carry the very large and heavy box to the front ourselves. Once we got to the checkout kiosk we were told the chair was already marked off 40% so the final price was $259 because the original price was $400. I explained there was not an original price on the chair just the one price. Then we were told the chair which had a 40% off tag was not on sale after all and that they put tags on all the chairs which was not the case. There were several chairs without them. We told the associate that it is false advertisement and we were told they could not honor the discount listed on the chair so we walked out without purchasing anything as I feel they are not honoring what they are advertising. read more

Not gonna lie, Staples staff can be hit and miss. Then there is Joseph in the copy center, love him! He acknowledged my email request, he called to confirm a specific task, he called again to say it was ready for pick-up. Then while in the store, he was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Thanks Joseph! read more

Fun, young, energetic work staff that really cares about your needs. It's amazing to think these college students are getting paid minimum wage, but still find it in them to care about your needs. I was shopping for a computer and the sales associate who helped me took the time to explain all my questions while finding what my needs were. He then filled me in about all the good deals in the store that he thought I would be interested in... BASED OFF the questions he was asking me originally. It didn't feel like he was up selling me, just advising me based off the time he spent with me. Shocking when you realize there are a total of 3 people in the store not including the manager. The store clerks must have good training here, because not all staples are like this! If you need computer repair work or new technology and you dont want to do all the research online, go here. read more

They don't seem to have good management. I had a manager who was helping me order something they didn't have in store and during that time he was rude to both me and his staff. I get that he was stressed out - when I first asked him if he could help me he sighed audibly and said that they were really short staffed right now, but yeah sure, just one minute. As he was putting in an order for me, I noticed that he was barking at his staff, telling them that such and such wasn't done right, etc. Made me feel even more awkward because honestly his staff seemed afraid of him. Being short staffed isn't fun but don't take it out on the customers or the people you work with. Won't be going back there again. read more

I came in to print a 40 page project that was a big part of my grade. My friend and I were little bit crazy about getting the printing right, but the guy working at the printing station was extremely helpful! He let us print out a test page and then fix our watermark at least 4 times. He even calmed us down when we freaked out and helped us with technical difficulties. The manager kept the store open 40 extra minutes for us. Overall they have great customer service and extremely helpful and accommodating employees! read more

Definitely understaffed. I went in on Thursday to buy a laptop and all I kept hearing over the PA was "Customer call waiting.." Don't expect much help. They have a few good employees, the young black man was very helpful even though he was obviously being overworked, and helping three of us at the same time. Get rid of the cashier girl working Thursday afternoon, she has a severe attitude problem. I asked her about price matching and she replied as if I was taking the money from her. If it's the stress of being overworked and underpaid, let her go, it's better for both her and the store. My boyfriend went in later in the afternoon for a laptop sleeve and had the same opinion of both employees, the guy was very helpful, the cashier girl was not so friendly. Hire more people so your employees don't completely lose their minds! read more

The woman that helped me was super nice and went out of her way to check in the back for something specific I was looking for. While I waited, I watched a tall, male employee with blonde highlights pick his nose for a good five minutes/in between customers. Really great to watch. read more

I went in to Staples today unexpectedly. I was looking for a place to print my pictures and there it was! Immediately I was greeted by Sage and she helped myself and my friend print our pictures. She was extremely friendly and easy to talk to. There was a small misunderstanding of how to get the pictures to her and she was incredibly professional about it. I have never had such good service from staples employee. YAY SAGE! I was also helped by Erick and Ivette and they were both incredibly helpful. I will definitely return! read more

I'm surprised anyone would give this store a good review. I was in there earlier to print some things from my email and they claimed they had no internet... I asked if they were certain the whole store had no internet and the 15-year-old girl working there became confused and offered to sell me some overpriced flash drives instead, which she then didn't know how to locate in the store. Will never come here again, and would suggest everyone does likewise. read more

Another turned off customer withdrawing business. Attempted to buy 2 chairs from the store. Only one in stock boxed, plus a "display" chair that they would not part with or box up. Instead of giving us the one in stock & ordering delivery of the 2nd chair, the gentleman made it so both go delivered. We paid for the items with a delivery date of 3 working days & left the store. Nothing from Staples or courier arrived until 7 working days from time of purchase - The following Thursday - where the courier let us know via email that it would be delivered Friday( 8days after purchase). Never showed up. First complaint call to chase up we were told the Courier said "attempt was made but no-one was home at 8.25am", which absolutely never happened. After calling Staples again to rectify this issue we were told that driver couldn't find or confirm the address - although this wasn't the initial reason we were given by courier - this was because the clerk in the store never put a street name or house number on the order....yup, just a town name, a post code, & instructions for driver without street address....mistakes happen, I get it but... Staples didn't flag this up until 8 days after the sale after 2 x 40min+ complaint calls. Was offered another delivery attempt on Monday, 11 days after sale, for $300/400 worth of chairs that we haven't seen but the time had passed & they were no longer of use to me. Reluctantly opted for the refund, but get this, they cannot refund the money to the card that was used to purchase the items over the phone - they can only issue refunds via cheque (waiting for cheque to turn up + time it takes bank to clear cheque & refund the money, on top of the 8 day delay for items....... ) or you have the option of returning to the store you purchased the items in WITH the items you purchased...the problem with this is we cannot take back items we never received - apparently this is the case because of their 'internal stock systems' - if a refund is attempted to be issued their system will not allow it unless the 'sold items' are "scanned" back into the system - meaning its "wait on the cheque", possibly as much as 2 weeks after purchase for refunded monies, for items that were never received, nor even attempted to be delivered, nor updated on the status of for over 1 week. To add insult to injury, the store is approximately less than 5 miles from where they were supposed to be delivered. On a positive note, after 2 long phone call fob-offs, I pushed to speak to a supervisor, and the kind young gentleman initiated the refund process & a sent a discount for future purchases at Staples - The gesture was appreciated however, due to my customer experience here, or lack there of, I won't be going back to cash it in. We also asked about an HP monitor that we wanted to purchase from the shelf, but there were none in stock & none in the warehouse (and of course you cant buy the display model!!!)....we were left without any kind of answer to as/when or where we could order this from as there didn't seem to be a procedure in place at Stapes for this information. "Probably a few weeks, not sure". They didn't seem that interested in a further sale after spending already close to $700 total in store...totally dumbfounded. Don't know if its Staples or the staff but I have never experienced anything like it. Inferior service start to finish - would spend more time & money elsewhere rather than take my chances here again. read more
