Staples in general

Staples is not a shop I have ever been into before today. To be honest, it is famed in Plymouth for being an ugly building and that's all I knew of it. The Office Superstore sells everything you need for the office, mainly revolving around computer supplies. Printers, paper, desks, chairs, computers etc cna all be bought there. First off, it has to be said that they occasionally have some really good offers. Today I bought a HP colour printer / copier / scanner for just £10 when purchased with a box of paper (£10 for 2500 A4 pieces). That is a phenomenal offer, and one that had me thinking they would be sold out. With that in mind, I rang to ...  Read the complete review

I have fond memories of Staples, as odd as that may first sound to readers. When I was at school, many years ago, before the start of every new school year in August, my dad would take me and my siblings to our closest Staples store to get all our bits of stationery we would need for the new school year. I was, and still am very into all things stationery, and so going to Staples was like visiting a big sweet shop! Staples stores really are stationery heaven. They have all products which are stationery-related from papers and pens, to laptops and desk chairs. They have really increased their product range since I was at school as they didn't sell laptops back ...  Read the complete review

Last week my beloved printer which I'd had for at least six years broke down and died; a new model was needed. Having tried two other large stores, Staples was my last stop, and I really couldn't have asked for a better service. I had in mind to purchase a multifunction colour laser printer, and I was pleased to find that unlike the previous two stores, Staples stocked at least six or seven different models in different price ranges. The display models looked clean and well-maintained, and the price labels were accurate and informative. I was easily able to make comparisons between the different models and makes, and also between the laser and inkjet printers. ...  Read the complete review

Staples is well known for being the place you can get anything from for the office. It is a global chain which has 2,000 stores in 27 different countries. Whilst people used to go Smiths or Partners, Ryamans or local stationery stores to get bits and pieces, Staples filled a niche in the market by having huge stores that sold all types of items under one roof. My local Staples is like many others in a retail park. It's quite a small one containing Waitrose, Dunelm, Dreams and Staples but the car park is always quite busy and many of those people head to Staples. My first impression is that it's just a huge warehouse because it is very large with very high ...  Read the complete review

Previously I use to always use Staples for all of my stationery needs and it use to offer great service. I was always impressed with the amount of consumer choice that is available to the consumer and found it to be really helpful when choosing a pen for example. The staff in my experience have always been really friendly and always willing to help out and so I have been further impressed. Since the launch of online websites including Ebay I have been put off going to Staples. In these tough times I am looking for the cheapest option and it made me feel guilty as a result but I had to use the internet for my stationery needs. When comparing prices for a pen ...  Read the complete review
