DON'T USE STAPLES!!!!

As small businesses, we need the "bigger" businesses to understand how important we are! If in the future, you need to order supplies, may I suggest NOT using STAPLES! There are many companies out there that actually would welcome your office supply order AND deliver the next day, as promised. Please make note and give our business a voice! Bless you all!

What's the problem? I am a small business owner and always get good service from them.

I have the same question, what is wrong with Staples? I spend quite a bit there and get at least a $30 coupon every month for my paper and other supplies. I probably spend $400 a month there.

I only got a $6 coupon. But hey, it beats a sharp stick in the eye!

Boy, I guess they don't like you. Lately I've been getting $30 printing/copying discounts, $50 online discounts and free shipping discounts. Unfortunately, I don't need to do that much shopping at Staples. Or maybe I should do more and resell the stuff to unwary notaries. (Naw, wouldn't do that.)

I want coupons. What do I need to do? I shop Office Max, but will change for coupons.

They are part of the Staple Business Advantage program. Sign up, it's free.

I will check it out. I guess Peter's post is backfiring.

Just goes to show, any advertising is good advertising.

AND, this is the main reason you DO NOT mention your competitors name in advertising.

I signed up for the Staples rewards a while ago and OfficeMax has the same thing that I signed up for yesterday.

As others have said, what's the problem you are experiencing? I've been a happy Staples customer for years. Get discount coupons all the time. Plus, they deliver, sometimes free for larger orders (like 3 cases of paper).

It may be that the store you visited didn't handle the situation correctly. If so, it should be brought to Staples corporate attention.

Possible Misunderstanding

Peter may have been saying that he prfesrs paper clips.
Avoids those nasty staple cuts
I buy my stuff at Sams or Costco
Have one of each within 10 minutes.
My wife works for a Doctor, so I get more drug co pens than I have room for
