Anybody familiar with "EC Purchasing" StaplesLink?

I am having problems ordering some supplies, their price is higher than the regular Staples website, anybody that could help me. You can just PM if you would like, thanks.

No, but I was just looking at some of their prices

I looked at the link for the 'deep discount's, some of
them are really good deals, I saw a desk calendar that
the store sells for $9 for $4 with the EC discount. Hope someone
has used this and will explain.

I was looking at the binder clips their EC price was 14.42, at regular staples: 13.29 and at quill 9.99 and at the
"deep discount" they at 3 dollars and some change, but I can't get them, and I want to know how can I get them at that price! LOL

Hope you don't need those clips today...you need to sign up with Staples Link, there is a registration link to click on, it says it takes 3-5 days. I just did it, hopefully it will work.

I like a bargain as much as you do. What is the EC discount?

I haven't ordered anything from Staples, but I have through Office Depot and as long as I am signed in through the EC Purchasing website, I got the discount when ordering at Office Depot.

That discount is only available for those who have "EC

Purchasing" through a particular company. I don't work with that company & don't qualify for the discount.

I belong to EC purchasing and get a $20 discount on my Sprint bill because of it. I also signed up for the discount Fed Ex and UPS Shipping discount. It is substantial.

Every time I try to sign up for the FedEx discount it says I'm not eligible. I haven't tried UPS.

Shipping Discounts

Just tried again to sign up for both FedEx and UPS discounts thru EC Purchasing. Received this message: You do not have access to apply for reduced shipping rates from EC Purchasing. If you have questions, please contact customer service.

The same thing happened to me so I called EC. They changed something and it went through the next time. It was worth the call.

Thanks Barbara! I contacted EC Purchasing through the "Contact Us" link and they made a change to my profile, which allowed me to apply for the shipping discounts.
