Repaired computer at an undisclosed price
When I dropped my older Dell tower off to be upgraded with memory, Jason told me that it needed to be cleaned, so I agreed. I asked for some kind of antivirus and he replied that it would only be $25 installed so I said to go ahead and install it. He gave me a work orderthat had $75.circled not paid.

I returned to Staples yesterday to inquire if it was ready- no one called, just on speck- I was told that it was ready and the toal was $274.77 plus tax.Needless to say, I am upset.

Lost my package
I mailed a package from Indiana to Arizonia second week of December 2009. Delivery date was 24 Dec 2009. The package was sent UPS through Staples in Goshen, Indiana. The package never arrived. Traced the shipment and it shipped to a distribution point in Illinois and returned to Goshen, Indiana the next day. Went out for delivery at 4:00 something in the morning and was never heard from again. Spoke to UPS several times, the last I was on hold for 43 minutes! They inquired on the box contents and I felt like I was in a police interrogation. Same questions over and over. Eventually I was told that Staples would pay the claim within 10 days. Last I heard from anyone. On January 27th I called Staples. They told me I needed a receipt showing I shipped it through Staples. Thats right Staples wants me to prove I shipped it through Staples! After 38 minutes on the phone, now I'm told they need a receipt for every item in the box before a claim would be processed. They had already called the destination address to ensure it was never delivered. So much for the great UPS tracking system. Later the destination was called and informed it was lost. Absolutly rediculas. Still have no resolution. Each Staples manager I speek to tells me another will be in contact. Do yourselves a favor, stay away from Staples. Thier customer service is non-existant! I guess if you run a customer around long enough, they will get tired of sitting on thee phone for hours and just give up.

Extremely rude and unhelpful
I have had nothing but bad experiences with Staples. Every employee I've ever interacted with in the stores has been extremely rude and unhelpful. It's like a parallel universe where everyone is crabby and full of attitude. I'm done with this store.

Avoid at all costs
I recently purchased windows xp from staples. i opened the box, realize it was the wrong item and tried to return. the customer service agent on 1st phone call said to put it back in box and as long as they culd put it back on the shelf, i could return. the next day, with everything boxed and ready to go, the next agent says "no" we can't return software. federal law prohibits. interesting how that is not explained before one buys the software. staples management and policies stink, i will never set foot in staples again. i hope they go bankrupt.

STAPLES SUCKS!

Here is the inside scoop to their "EasyTech" Service!

I was a General Manager for them for (5) years. I was ranked #20 in the Company of 1600+ Stores for "EasyTech" Sales! I complained to the Corporate Office about how uncomfortable I was with the way we were doing business, and offered some suggestions on how to make our "Service" better and safer to our Customers. Two weeks later I was Fired without cause because I worked in California which is a "Right to Work State" meaning they can let you go for no reason! So... Here were my concerns... You decide if you want to take your Computer to them or not!

1) When you bring your Computer in, they log you in electronically and set your Computer on the Counter for processing. Any and all associates have access to your Computer and all of it's "Personal Data!"

2) None of the "Techs" are "Certified"! I repeat... None of the "Techs" have any certification or training other than a 10 minute "Staples" test! Don't believe me? Ask to see any documentation on any of their "Techs" as being "Certified" and watch for their response!

3) Their "Techs" are hired of the street or pulled off the sales floor by being able to answer this (1) question... "Do you know anything about Computers?" If they answer yes, they are hired!

4) They offer "Free Diagnostics" knowing that "If you bring it in, it is because you know there is a problem" and they will always be able to charge you to "Fix It!"

5) If they tell you that you need a "System Restore" it is because they screwed up and "Lost All of Your Files, " and are now about to charge you an additional $100 because of their mistake!

6) 90% of the "SpyWare Removal Tools" they use are "FreeWare" on the Internet! They only Have a "Norton" Diagnostics Tool, but it "Does Not Remove Trojans or Viruses!" They use "Downloaded Free Programs" and charge you $89!

7) And Worst of All! Walk up to the counter and say you are there to pick up your Computer. Give them your name, and the Computer is yours! No I.D. or Original paperwork required! Want a free Computer? Over hear the name of a Customer dropping of a Computer, go out side, wait 10 minutes, call the Store and tell them you changed your mind and are sending your associate back to pick it up... Free Computer, and Staples has to explain to the real owner where their Computer is, and who has access to all their "Personal Information!"

Remember... I tried to warn them and got fired for doing so! They are now fair game!

Did not receive cartridge rebate
On August 4, 2009, I returned 3 HP cartridges for a $3.00 rebate on each. I kept thinking that the rebate refund would be coming, but as of this date (01/06/10) I never received a $9.00 voucher on my Staples card #5955737860.

Is it too late to receive a refund? Thank you for your assistance!

mouse
went to buy the logitech mouse that was on sale today. went at noon, no more stock on hand and sale started today! I had canceled an online order to amazon for the same item and when I saw it was to be on sale i canceled the online order and went to staples.

how can they be out of something that only went on sale today.
the very nice salesman said that they had sold all four that they had and that it would not be possible to get more.
WTF????

Do not trust them
My HP L7780 broke due to a paper jam. I followed the steps on the HP site to fix it. The final step was to call my warranty company (Cyber Test). I did the troubleshooting and they sent me another printer.

The new printer was broken. The automatic document feeder did not work.

They sent me another printer. The screen on the printer did not work.

I am now waiting on my 3rd printer. Pray for me.

What makes me upset is that when you buy these electronic warranties, the SALES people claim that if something happens to your merchandise, Staples will replace it NO QUESTIONS ASKED. They say that you can bring in the device and they'll give you another printer. Not the case.

Also, if you read the clause in your extended warranty contract, it states that the company you are dealing with can give you a Staples Card for equal value. After the 2nd printer, I begged and pleaded with Cybertest to just give me the card. They said they could not do this because my printer was under $600. No where in my four page contract does it state this.

Bottom line, Staples is not a brand that you can trust. And neither is Cyber Test.

EMPLOYEE ABUSE
Because CORP. doesnt want to make part timers into full time they decided to appoint one lady who gets nothing but complaints at staples from staff but mostly from customers and who has NEVER worked copy center before to copy center lead, she constantly was rude to customers got more complaints than any associate has ever gotten in one month. Finally, when the complaints kept adding up they pulled her from copy center but instead of firing her which should have happened when the managers heard her yelling at a customer she's made into customer service lead. How does that make sense?!?!?!? YEAH let's mke our rudest employee who doesnt care about her job into CUSTOMER SRVICE LEAD! Then a guy who quit two months previously without a two weeks notice comes back to STAPLES because he was fired from his new job for fighting was hired back again without TRAINING to COPY CENTER LEAD!!! There are two completely capable women who have worked in copy center over a year one who actually gets calls to the managers about how good hr customer service & knowledge of CC is but for some reason has NOT even been offered the job because she is part time adn they want to make anybody else FULL TIME!

Refused to offer job because HR "too busy"
Employers have creative ways to deny a candidate a job. But this one is a first.<br />
<br />
I showed up at Staples Inc. for an interview. Aced the HAY test and met with Tom W. (can't remember his last name) for interview. I expressed interests in the job. He showed me around the facility, describing the process and responsibilities in detail. It went well, as far as I could tell. Then I waited by the entrance while Tom went to HR office supposedly to let Rosa Juarez know I was ready. She was to begin the process for drug test, so he said. But he came out, said that Rosa was "busy", and then said that she would call later that day or the following morning. She never called. I called her office three times throughout the day. She never answered the phone. I called Veronica Walls (because she had set up the interview for me). Veronica didn't sound welcoming of my call. I explained that I was expecting a call from Rosa. Veronica echoed the "too busy" point and said that they would talk with Tom for details.<br />
<br />
(N.B. I didn't realize that this might have been Tom or HR's way of saying I wasn't the person for the job. HR don't suddenly become "too busy" after taking the time to call and set up interview.)<br />
<br />
Two weeks later, I contacted Veronica by e-mail. (Didn't call her because she would be either "too busy" or unwelcoming.) I expressed that she and Rosa are the worst HR people I've ever met, and that they should be forthright if they weren't going to extend an offer instead of yanking me around. Veronica then replied as follows:<br />
<br />
"Due to the vacation times and the holiday week our decision on finalizing the candidate pool was completed this morning. <br />
<br />
We want to thank you for your interest in pursuing a part-time Production Associate opportunity with Staples Inc. <br />
<br />
Although we were impressed with your accomplishments, we are pursuing other candidates whose work experiences, skills and attributes more closely match our needs.<br />
<br />
Again, thank you for considering employment with Staples, Inc. and we do wish you the best for a successful career search."<br />
<br />
How much "work experiences, skills and attributes" do you need to be a warehouse picker? Is this an executive position? Management? Engineering? The 'cliche' rejection letter is more relevant for those kinds of jobs. But what kind of skills do you need to pick items, put in a box, pack the box and place it on the conveyor?!!<br />
<br />
Save for the HAY test, the rest of the interview was deceitful. They (Tom, Veronica and Rosa) don't have the nerve to tell me they don't want me for the job. Tom yanked my chain claiming Rosa would get me started on drug test (insinuating job offer) and then told me she was "too busy". Rosa yanked my chain by refusing to answer the phone. Veronica yanked my chain by repeating the "too busy" lie even though she wasn't busy enough to call me. They all lied to me. They can also lie to you.<br />
<br />
They didn't even take the Staples application form I had filled out. What a rip-off!<br />
<br />
Unless you don't mind getting playing, don't apply for a job at Staples Inc. (aka Quills). Note the address (201 Northpoint Dr, Coppell, TX). After you confirm their location, hang up. If you decide to go for the interview, remember: when the interviewer says "too busy", it means you're not getting the job. Tom wears a baseball cap, has a beard and fit physique. Veronica Walls' office no. is 972-462-5612, her cell is 214-687-2152. Rosa's no. is 972-462-5606 (forget calling her, she doesn't answer the phone).
