I had a fantastic time at office depot, I went one Saturday evening when it was relatively empty exlecting to quickly drop off some packages, for which I had already printed postage. However, there was a man and his daughter who were waiting on photos, there were at least 4 empoyees in the store, but only one at the shipping/photo kiosk. The man snd his daughter were the only customers aside from me.
So, this is where it gets exciting-- I decided to browse. Initially, it was "casual, glance at the soda and sunglasses displays by the regster while repeatedly checking your phone" browsing" however, soon it become HARDCORE "I want to start my own small business NOW" browsing. First I hit up the own aisle, nothing to exciting, I have pllenty of pens, way overpriced. Then I went to the school office supply aisle, o truly think my business needed those items, but I resisted (I want a foam board for some reason and twistables are a professional art supply imo). Afterwards I browsed paper and binders, I almodt got a fancy shmancy meeting agenda book, I have no idea why, it was 10 bucks, not work it at all, but I wsnted it so much, I csrried it sround the store for quite a while.
I passed by the storage containers quickly because someone recently atole mine. Then I went on to the variety stuff the ribber band balls, the scissors, theclearanceitemsthemini stsalersthebibblewrapthecalendarsAND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND IT!
A large size Ghiradheli Holiday assortment choclate bag for 3 bucks, (they typically retail at around 10 around Christmas and feature 3 flavors: eggnog, pumpkin spice, and peppermint bark. I love them. They are so much better than they sound and the only Ghiradhelli worth your money) and so I stopped the masss of items I had accumulated at that point, and picked up my score. Apparently the man and his daighter had been gone for some time, but I had not noticed, I quickly trotted over and shipped my package. Then I used my Office Depot Rewards thingie to get the bag for only 2 bucks. 2 freaking bucks! Man that trip was epic. I wish I had purchased like 10 of them, msybe I will go back today, hopefully there isn't a rush on them after...
Read moreI will never be purchasing here again. Their managers show absolutely no care about selling defective products to people and their policies make sure that you have to buy it again.
My printer said it was low on ink so I bought some. Then it didn’t really run out for another 30 something days. But because of that I didn’t know I had bought a defective product. They emotionlessly said to me “Because it is over 15 days there is nothing I can do for you.” Then they said my only recourse is to contact HP.
They were the ones that sold me a defective product and now I’m out more than 90 dollars with nothing to show for it. You are supposed to be able to purchase something and have it available for when you need it, not hope that it works when you take it out of the box and worry about whether you wasted your money on something.
My biggest problem is they sold it to me and I expected it to work when I needed it to and they just don’t care. Now I’ve got to call HP and try to get a replacement from them. It just sucks because now I have to drop another 90 dollars just to print a page of homework for my kids.
I’m not going to go back here to spend any money until I get what I actually paid for, I’ll go somewhere else, heck I can go to Amazon for almost anything I need now. I guess supporting the local economy is...
Read moreIf you are still school supply or office supply shopping, THIS is the store for you!! It has been a very long time since I've gone anywhere and experienced TRUE humanity in shopping! I had used a service online to order the funeral programs for my father's celebration of life with guaranteed delivery by Friday, the day before the service, which was Saturday at 11am.. At 7:45 pm Fed Ex updated my tracking to show that my delivery was in Portland but wouldn't arrive until AFTER the weekend! All of my nearby copy & print shops were already closed and Office Depot was closing at 8pm. I was a frantic, emotional mess! The young man that picked up the phone in the copy center was so kind and patient as I poured out my dilemma. He had me email him the downloaded version and gave me his word they would be printed, folded, and ready for pick up upon opening at 9am on Saturday. My brother was there 1st thing and was met with genuine and heartfelt service! This store did the impossible for us. They gave us an enormous blessing on the 2nd worst day of our lives, when we thought the day would be full of grief and pain. Thank you so very much for helping us to honor our dad. He was worth it and it just would not have been the same without your help! Your store will be my 1st stop and my 1st...
