Ordering things through Staples for next day delivery was easy enough. The problems started when the goods did not turn up the following day, infact they did not turn up for eight days, even though every day I was told they would be with me the following day. That was all the fault of the courier - Parcelforce - However, when I tried to chase things through Staples they were not interested, as far as they were concerned they had dispatched the order. The first e-mail to Staples went unanswered, subsequent mails came back basically saying not their problem. On two occasions I asked if they could pursue the issue with Parcelforce as they would not deal with me as I did ...  Read the complete review

Appalling customer service. I recently placed an order on their website for a few items and as usual paid by credit card which is the only way of completing the transaction. They delivered the items but then started to send me invoices for the amount of the order, culminating in a very heavy letter threatening my credit status. All this, despite me doing MY best to resolve the matter with them via a whole string of emails. The attitude of their staff throughout was rude, condescending, unhelpful and at times downright aggressive.

Stay well clear of their website. Absolutely the worst service anywhere if anything should go wrong.

There is a pink box where you can search for ink cartridges by make of printer. There is a blue box labeled technology where you can find all electrical items ...  Read the complete review

Staples is an ?office stationers,? (and I quote from the sign above the store) and those two words sum it up perfectly. They sell things from computers to furniture and from toilet paper to pens. They sell a lot of things both individually and in bulk, and the prices are relatively cheap. In their stores they usually have ample staff (I prefer helpful staff, but ample will do) that are easy to find (partly due to the fact they are wearing the red uniform t-shirts), and many services are available, like photocopying and faxing. Unlike other places, they offer bulk copying at cheap prices. The shelves are well stocked and there is little if any litter around ...  Read the complete review

11.00am Sunday 29 December 2002. The all-ticket eagerly awaited local derby between Wrexham and Shrewsbury scheduled for a twelve-noon start is called off because of a waterlogged pitch. Pity all the poor Shrewsbury supporters who have just arrived at Wrexham station and face a two-hour wait in the pouring rain before the train takes them home. Pity me even more because my wife has decided this will be the ideal opportunity to visit the sales. First port of call on what must be the wettest, dampest, most miserable Sunday in living memory is Tesco where I manage to purchase enough half price socks, ties and underwear to last me until I ...  Read the complete review
